Now im trying to play games like, Splinter Cell conviction and things of this sort, seemed, according to the website of games, I have respected all the recommended specifications. Yet, when I play the game its a very low resolution and all settings on LOW!

Everyone is having these problems with laptops out there?

Hi Sammole,

Sinus a few days that I have too many Satellite P500. I must say that it s a very big book, I love it. The screen is really good and big and in my opinion the best option for games, videos and other multimedia stuff. In addition it s equipped of the fast processor and a graphics card, ideal for playing games.

All my games work well so I put t know what has happened to you. Make sure that the eco mode isn't active, this will slow down the performance.
Also make sure that the most recent display Toshiba driver is installed and the latest version of Microsoft DirectX.

Also check homepage of Splinter Cell. There may be an update (patch) available who can help you. :)

  • Satellite L855-14R: games running very slow after installing Win 7

    Hi guys,.

    I have the L855-14R satellite, which came with windows pre-installed 8.

    I used win 8 during a time and games have been works ok.
    So I decided to install a copy of windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.

    I downloaded all the drivers from toshiba support and it seems to work fine until I started the same game I played before.

    He was running very very slow even on low graphics settings.

    No idea of what went wrong after the win 7 installation?

    Have Hmm you installed the driver of ATI graphics card?
    Maybe the game uses the Intel HD internal graphic that is part of the Intel Core i7-3630QM processor?

  • Satellite Pro M10 suddenly ran very slow and freezes

    Two weeks ago, that my SP M10 is suddenly very slow and freeze. After a reset, it began to check the HARD drive, which lasted about 8 hours, and several repair lost clusters to files. But the student pilot did not run faster. I reformatted the HDD to FAT32 (NTFS has not worked) and reinstalled Windows XP. First, it seemed to work very well, but a few hours later, it freezes again.

    After 10-20 min, I got access. This has not changed so far. CHKDSK another also lasted several hours and again showed some lost clusters. I think that my HARD drive is damaged, but how can I see if there a lot of bad sectors? Can I fix it? Can I possibly replace my 40 GB HARD drive with a larger HARD drive capacity?

    Are there restrictions or can I use any brand?

    Hello

    I had the same problem with my Satellite 1900. The result was the HARD drive damaged (bad sectors). I tried to fix it with different tools, but without success. The best solution is to swap the HARD drive.

    Good bye

  • New Satellite Pro U400-12y is very slow

    Just bought Satellite Pro U400-12y with Vista Business pre-installed (1 GB preinstalled memory).
    However, the startup is very slow and actually the computer seems to work in a time warp.

    Any ideas? Is there a fundamental problem?

    Yes, I have an idea.

    I think that the high amount of background processes affect the performance of laptops.
    He should know that the U400 supports many different features and these features are controlled by different applications.

    If you want you can start the msconfig and disable some unnecessary and unimportant process. Take a look in the Startup tab.

    In addition, I recommend to disable and remove the preinstalled software called Tempro.

    I did it on my system, and now it runs much faster

  • Satellite Pro M70-113: modem - very slow

    Hello

    I have a toshiba satellite pro m70-113 laptop. I bought it in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.

    The problem is that when I use the modem (dialup) software from toshiba to connect to internet... the connection is very very slow... While on the same line, on my desk speed isn't a problem... on average, I get 1/4th of the speed I get on my desk... and on the same telephone line...

    What is the problem?

    Can someone help me in this... are there any configuration software that can fix this problem?

    Help will be very appreciated...

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I don't know what your desktop device modem, but modems takes care of different speeds.
    You can also check the properties of the modem for laptop.
    Go to the Toshiba software modem properties and check under the tab "modem".
    You will find the maximum port speed. This should be set to the highest value.

    It is also possible that different providers use a different speed of data transmission.
    Some time ago I used a modem and I was very surprised that my speed of data transmission is different on the different suppliers.
    As you can see there are many factors why you don? t get the same speed of modem.

  • Satellite L70-A-14Z is very slow

    Hello world

    Just bought this Toshiba Satellite A-L70-14Z computer with Core i5 4200 (2, 5 GHz), 4 GB Ram running Win8.1.

    All I can say, is that this computer runs very slow!

    Everything I do takes forever!

    Even my old laptop running Centrino with XP or seven run faster!

    Any idea? It's a new computer!

    Thank you

    What do you mean exactly, but running slow?
    Can you give us more details?
    Sorry mate but this decryption general isn't very useful in determining the cause of the problem.

    The laptop can be slow for different reasons.
    The system would be overloaded and several background process might slow down the system.
    However, a HARD disk failure could affect the execution of processes and data read/write system.
    Last but not least virus and malware infections are common cause of problems in the system.

    As you can see, there are many reasons why a system is slow.

  • Satellite U500 - copy process is very slow

    Hi friends,

    I use the Satellite U500-1f5, for the last 2 months. It's core i5 with Windows 7. The copy process is still very slow and sometimes starting is a bit slower.

    Can someone show a valid answer for this problem?

    Hey mate,

    Looks like you have installed lots of software that slows down the performance of your laptop.
    If the programs you have installed?

    Theoretically it could also be caused due to a virus or a trojan. You should check your laptop computer for viruses using a good antivirus like AntiVir program.

    Try to defragment the HARD drive. If you install/uninstall programs, you should defragment the HARD drive from time to time. You can use the built-in Windows defragmentation tool.

  • Satellite A660 - Internet connection is very slow

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660-guest 1GT, bought the Poland and I have a problem with the internet. Where I live there is a wireless router and my laptop connects to the wireless but the internet works very slowly. I have a older laptop which I use in parallel on which the internet is much faster. When I clicked on the network and diagnose the problem, there was a message that the connection seems to be broken. In addition, the number of packages I'm sending is twice or three times less than the package I receive.

    I took out the battery, reconfigure power settings, reinstalled both drivers for the LAN and wireless, all uninstalled programs of eternal but the internet is still very slow. I have to wait more than 10 minutes to load a video on youtube. Which, on my old computer, it must be about 1 min. can you please advise me what to do?

    P.S. I donno if that counts. I got Windows 7 in Polish and I installed an English pack with vistalizator,

    Thank you!

    Hey,.

    Is Internet connection too slow when you connect the Ethernet cable? So, you can determine whether the problem is related to the Internet itself router or WLAN connectivity.

    Generally speaking, it is difficult to say something about the WIFI configuration and router. In your case I also get in touch with your internet service provider and ask for the correct router configuration. They can also tell you how to set up the laptop to go online. :)

  • Satellite L500 - wireless connection is very slow

    Hey all,.

    I have problems with my toshiba satellite L500 wireless very slow. I restored the computer back to factory settings, reset the router and do not know what to do. The only way that I am able to achieve and increase speed of internet is by connecting the laptop to the router.

    There are 3 other laptops in the House which is the same model, this laptop runs very fast. My router is a Thomson TG782T.

    Thank you

    Hello

    First, I would try to update the WLAN driver. Download the latest version on the Toshiba site and then delete the old version. Reboot the laptop and use CCleaner to clean the system. Restart again and now you can install the latest WLAN driver.

    I put t know what operating system you have, but on Vista and Windows 7, you must disable the WLAN energy saving function. You can do this in Windows power management if you change power management.

    I had a similar problem and after removing the energy saving function, it worked fast and normal as on other laptops. :)

  • Satellite A300-MM1 - startup is very slow

    I bought 3 notebooks (Satellite A300-MM1) a month ago, but I noticed that they were all very slow at startup (boot).
    They took about 6 minutes until I saw the office and sometimes do not work.

    Satellite A300 MM1 (harman/kardon)
    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium (Service Pack 1)
    Intel (r) Pentium (r) Dual T3200 2.00 GHz 2.00 GHz
    3.00 GB RAM

    I thought it was the Antivirus but I put the McAfee Antivirus in two of them and Kaspersky in the other, but I faced the same problem.

    What should I do?

    TEMPRO is pre-installed on these laptops?

  • In Excel 2007, copy the conditional formatting cells is very slow

    I've just upgraded to Excel 2007 (SP 2) since 2000 in the hope that it would be faster.  I have a large spreadsheet consisting of a database of about 5000 lines and a number of leaves each grids showing cells of 7 x 7 with conditional formatting in each cell.
    In 2000, I had to stop automatic recalculation.  In 2007, the recalculation is much faster, but when I created a piece of copy and past cells 7 x 7 with their conditional formatting, it is very slow and eventually is short-term memory.
    I am running XP service pack 3 on processor 1.6 ghz with 1.9 GB of ram.
    Any suggestions?

  • Satellite C70-C-10 t - very slow, installation Win10 takes forever

    Hello

    I bought a new laptop from Toshiba today. And since puttng to use, it is very slow, I installed all the upgrades that did not help and I tried to install windows 10 but it worked for 2 hours now and it just went from 12% to 13%. Is this a known issue?

    Thanks in advance!

    When you buy a new notebook, the first thing we do is to make a backup of recovery. It is very important. You should have backup image recovery.
    If something goes wrong, you can use this media and reinstall the original recovery image.

    Each new laptop is slow at the beginning. What you need is the optimization of the OS. Remove all the unnecessary stuff from the system and check the windows startup.

    Many applications that you do not actually start with windows and start up takes a lot of time.
