  Hello

  You did changes to the computer before this problem?

  Microsoft does not recommend the use of any registry cleaning software because any incorrect registry entry might prevent your computer from starting properly.

  Try to perform the clean boot on the computer.

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

  Reference:

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  1. click on start and then click Run.
  2. type msconfig and click OK.
  The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
  3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
  4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

• Satellite Pro A100-622 can not read the card SD and Memory Stick with Windows Explorer

  I have a Satellite Pro A100-622 running MS Vista Home Basic Edition. I tried to use the card reader integrated with SD and Memory Stick card but cannot view the contents using Windows Explorer.

  In both cases, the laptop recognizes the card and try to install new hardware. Unable to do so, he asks the drive of the software provided with the cards. Any software not provided with a card and I cannot find drivers to make the drive work.

  The only application that I can find on the laptop that is associated with the player is a module of SD formatting, but I don't want to format the card (s) I want to just read the current content of them and add files.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  You can download the drivers (and especially in your case for the sd-card-reader) here:

  http://PC-support.Toshiba-Europe.com/Vista/

  and here

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  So the other point is the service of the SD card must be enabled in the start menu-> Control Panel (change to Classic view)-> Administration-> Services-> Chip card (at this point, you must activate the service and configure it to start at windows startup).

  If you have any other questions, just ask. ;)

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A100 PSAASE: How to get the FN keys work in Win XP

  Hey,.

  I bought the PSAASE Satellite Pro A100-00H004GR and killed Win Vista. Now it's Windows XP Pro!

  There is no Win XP Modem drivers on the Toshiba Page for this model, but I solved this problem by myself.
  But now my Fn keys/keyboard shortcut does not work and I have no idea what to do. I've tried Hotkey utility of the other models, but it does not work.

  No idea what to do now?

  Full Support of driver for each model would be great...

  Thank you
  Marc

• Satellite Pro 4600 - very low picture on the screen

  Guys, I really need help.

  I picked up on old satellite pro 4600 eBay and have rebuilt the thing - everything works EXCEPT the screen - I get a very small image, even on the start screen.

  So far I have - changed the cable lcd - no effect. changed the Panel itself, no effect and inverter (4 times!).

  Any suggestions? Driver problem? Setting I missed somewhere? Motherboard problem?

  Hmmm. My first thought was the faulty FL inverter.
  Are you sure you used the right and compatible FL inverter? A connect it correctly?

  What about the keys FN + F6/F7? It allows to set the brightness to a higher level?

  Then maybe you should check for this possibility.

• Satellite Pro A100: Trojan warning message during the windows BIOS update

  Trying to update my Bios through windows, my anti virus (f-secure) has a crush on decompressing the zip file a warning.

  The warning pointed out that the folder contained a Trojan horse and that he had been cleared to protect my computer.
  A warning from microsoft also said that access to these files had been blocked to protect your system.

  Is it possible that this update, downloaded from Toshiba really contain malware or could there be another reason for this event?

  Advice for help would be appreciated

  Hi james

  Don't you panic! You BIOS are not affected by Trojans, Malware or viruses.
  For the most part these BIOS files are not known for anti-virus applications and, consequently, anti virus software reports and notifies a virus.

  Before you start the update of the BIOS, you must disable automatic virus protection!

• Satellite Pro A100 - where can I find the driver for ethernet controller?

  I recently changed my OS from Vista to XP and I'm not able to find a driver for the ethernet controller in my Satellite Pro A100 PSAAPE.

  Anyone know where I can get this driver from?

  Thank you!

  > I had already checked and cannot see the pilot
  I don't believe that. I checked the Toshiba download page, and you can see two LAN drivers for your model laptop.
  Install the latest version 9.2.24 and I think everything will be OK.

• Satellite Pro A100 - flashing light battery and no start

  Hello

  I was sitting watching a video with my daughter yesterday when five minutes in my Satellite Pro A100 suddenly stopped working - cut out completely and not be reactivated. When I tried to restart the orange lit battery eleven short blinks blinked, and nothing else has happened. The battery has been low for some time, so we always run the AC adapter. The adapter is currently connected, but there is no blue light charge as I expect.

  With the battery removed do not get the flashes orange. With the battery and power adapter, I get the flashes orange.

  I was wondering if the AC adapter was missing, and we do not have a "low battery" warning because we were watching a video. That would explain the lack of charge indicator. When we get the flashes orange, we get this from the small amount of residual charge of the battery.

  Can anyone back this idea up - or anyone who can interpret the error code?

  Thank you

  Keith

  Hey Buddy,

  This means that you are able to start your computer or battery or AC/DC adapter only, good point?

  Well, theoretically it might be possible that AC/DC adapter is defective.
  When you try to start your laptop, nothing happens, right?

  In the best case, you know a friend who has the same AC/DC adapter, so you can test if the AC adapter is defective or not. Otherwise a professional diagnosis of an ASP would be necessary.

• Satellite Pro U300 very slow opening programs

  Hi all

  I bought a Satellite Pro U300 in February 2008 and I only use it 3 - 4 times since then... It is very slow at the opening of the programs (I have only one statistical program installed) and Web pages and creates problems when I try to download other programs that have a different version of Windows Vista.
  I really regretted buying this phone and I'm looking for someone to sell.

  Until I do, I was wondering if I could uninstall Windows Vista and install Windows XP for example, or do anything else that would make my phone fun to use.

  Hello

  The preinstalled operating system ran slowly because many applications are running in the background.
  My laptop was slow too to experience of applications have been disabled.

  You can disable in MSCONFIG.
  Type msconfig window RUN and check the Startup tab.
  You will find the software that could slow down the operating system.

  With regard to the installation of Win XP.
  Yes, you can also install Win XP. By using the Win XP laptop should be little faster because Win XP doesn t need a lot of material resources.

• Satellite Pro 6100: very slow recharge battery

  I bought a new battery pack for my Satellite Pro 6100 because my old Battery Pack loaded very slowly, about 5 per cent in 12 hours. But it turns out that my other one has the same problem.
  The problem may be the charger or the laptop.
  I already tried to unload the batteries fully.
  Can someone help me.

  Hello

  It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but if you use the new battery pack and the problem is there, it is possible that electronic power on your laptop is not working properly.

• Satellite Pro P300 - very slow WiFi connection

  Toshibe Satellite Pro P300 with built in the Atheros AR9281 wireless.

  Running Windows 7.

  ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

  BIOS 2.5

  All the latest versions of the drivers installed including the driver Atheros 8.0.0.225.0 wireless.

  Wireless is annoying...

  Sometimes fails to find the router (Belkin 54g, connected to the Modem cable Motorola (Virgin B/B is the access provider, 10 Mbps)).

  When he finds, connects ok, but sometimes it is impossible to browse web pages - just behave as if there is no connection.

  Bit torrent works also very slowly (in general 0.5Mbit / s depending on the number of peers etc.). Not a port forwarding issue with the router - using utorrent that indicates that the relevant port is open.

  When I connect to the router with an ethernet cable, everything works a treat - much faster and rock solid connection. uTorrent has no hit 10Mbit/s problem at all.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much...

  Alan.

  Hello

  You should first check if your BIOS is up to date.
  If an older version of BIOS is installed then you could update the BIOS.

  It is also advisable to update the installed WLan driver.
  Here, you can check the available WLan drivers:

• I downloaded 8.1 on my iPad a few months ago and it has become very slow especially in the e-mail program and glitch

  I have an iPad mini version 9.02. a few months ago, I downloaded the latest operating system from Apple 8.1 and my iPad became very slow and glitchy especially in the e-mail software... What can I do?  Now it asks me to upgrade to iOS 9.1 and I fear that it will be even worse.

  Sorry - but what do you mean you have an iPad Mini version 9.02? What are your reference when citing 9.02?

  At this point, your best bet is to keep the device up to date. The latest version of iOS is 9.2. It's what you could be upgraded to.

  See you soon,.
