• Satellite Pro A300-28R - how to enable virtualization in the BIOS?

  I tried to enable the setting of virtualization in the BIOS and the setting is disabled and I was unable to change the setting to activate. I have flashed the BIOS to the new version, and now how to enable virtualization has completely disappeared.
  The laptop model is Satellite Pro A300-28R with Windows 7 Professional and BIOS version 2.10.

  How do I enable virtualization setting so I can run Windows Virtual PC mode to run compatible programs XP?

  Hello

  Did you check the specifications of your laptop first?

  The fact is that the processor must support this virtualization and according to the Web of Toshiba site, your laptop is equipped with processor Core 2 Duo T5870.
  I checked this on the page of Intel CPU and virtualization isn't supported. That means t, you can use this feature!

• Satellite Pro A300-28R: slow start and freeze on Internet Explorer

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-28R and I'm very disappointed with the performance.
  (1) from the card, it looks like a decent laptop, but with the start time of 3 minutes, 'Please wait' it's probably not impress me considering the fact that I have nothing installed yet...

  (2) I will try to uninstall applications like tempro, but still I am intrigued by the slow response on the internet pages.
  For example when I go on google and start typing something more time, the cursor freezes and I have to wait a few seconds before I'm able to see what I'm typing.
  I only bought it last Friday, and I have not used a lot, but probably a bit disappointing so far.
  Any ideas why the cursor freezes on google or on the toolbar internet explorer?

  FYI, I use Vista Business OS and Internet explore

  any help welcome

  > 1) card, it looks like a decent laptop, but with the start time of 3 minutes, 'please wait' is surely not impress me considering the fact that I have nothing installed yet...

  I'll tell you how to reduce the startup time of your laptop.
  I think you are using Vista and the Tempro should be installed too
  You have two options: either you would update the Tempro or remove the system. Both should help make the Mobile QuickStart.

  You should update right Vista in the current state, and should also check if certain unnecessary processes running in the background.
  You can do this by using the msconfig.

  In addition, you should check if your antivirus software does not slow down the system.

  Just a tip; I m using the free software Antivir. It of free and it s really nice, it doesn't have a lot of material resources.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 "Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD" upgrade

  We have a Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 (bought on 23-11-09) that came with Vista Business 32-bit installed, but has been downgraded (using the provided diskette) to Windows XP due to the demands of corporate network.

  When Windows 7 became available, I bought the DVD to upgrade to Windows 7 Toshiba provided so that if the company decided to upgrade to the new operating system, we could do it on this laptop.

  That's what I tried recently to discover that we can't do as the DVD is for Win Vista upgrade Windows 7 Pro. What is the best way to upgrade without having to buy another drive to upgrade. I have a set of recovery disks for an another Toshiba SatellitePro A300 - 2 4 which was bought about 2 months before this one. These were created using the Toshiba recovery software before any changes have been made on the laprop. Would I be able to restore the system to its state of Windows Vista using these disks and then use the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD to make the upgarde?

  Suggestions or recommendations would be greatly received.

  This upgrade package offered by Toshiba is upgraded from Vista to Win7. So if you want to use it, you must install Vista recovery image at first.

  After that, you can upgrade pre-installed Vista to Win7 following the Toshiba s implementation instructions.
  I did the same thing my Qosmio X 300.

  If you cannot use created recovery disc either s order Toshiba Vista recovery disk or (perhaps the best solution) install the clean version of Win7. A300 is fully supported for Win7 and you can download all the necessary drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.

• Satellite Pro A300 - for Windows 7 power management strategy

  Hi all

  I have the following on my Satellite Pro A300 problem:

  My laptop fan works continuously, which means almost always turn. I cleaned the entire cooling with compressed air, so it is not clean, no problem with that. The reason is that in browsers when Adobe Flash Player runs, it loads the CPU and the GPU, so that the fan trying to cool the system.

  Now I ask you, is there any solution to fix this? I mean even to reduce the GPU clock speed when I do not use the graphics intensive applications.

  I use Google Chrome as default browser and the Windows 7 OS 32 bit.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hey Buddy,

  If an application load the CPU and the GPU it s normal behavior that the fan rotates and probably on top level so it s high usage. So don t you worry because everything is normal. The fan protects the equipment from overheating.

  What you can do is updated Google Chrome and Flash Player. Also try to use the most recent version, they also contain security updates.

  Last but not least, you can change the cooling method in the power management Windows (change the power plan settings). If you have installed Toshiba Value added Package, you can choose between optimized battery and a maximum Performance. Select optimized battery and fan activity will be less.

• Satellite Pro A300-28R - shows horizontal stripes

  My Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 sometimes displays horizontal stripes making the text unreadable images before portable crushes and I have to restart. Occurs usually when I'm on the internet. Does anyone know why this happens and how to solve?
  Once I rang Toshiba UK Technical Support and a rather impatient adviser said it was a discharge of static electricity problem, but why is it not with my laptop Pavilion?

  My Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 is less than one year, but the problem occurred repeatedly. I also had to replace the power adapter already because of the cable being too steep to the piece of cylindrical shape next to the Jack. Is this all I know a question of production with this series of laptops?

  > My Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 sometimes displays horizontal stripes making the text unreadable images before portable crushes and I have to restart. Occurs usually when I'm on the internet. Does anyone know why this happens and how to solve?

  These symptoms of display can be connected to a screen, graphics card driver or the graphics chip.
  First of all, you should try to update the graphics driver and should check it again.
  Secondly if this problem would appear then you must connect an external monitor to the laptop to check if the same would be visible on the external display.
  If so, the problem could be related to the graphics chip.

  It would be the worst case, a graphics chip cannot be replaced, but the whole mobo must be replaced in order to solve such a problem.

• Upgrading Toshiba Satellite PRO C for Windows 8 with DVD

  Hi all!

  I tried to upgrade to Windows 8 PRO with the DVD provided with the laptop but cannot achieve this goal.

  I made the changes in the BIOS as the said document (CSM boot for a UEFI boot and enable Secure Boot), started the laptop with the DVDs, but after running for a while, it stops and show a message saying something like there is not enough space in partition to write the image o something like that. Sorry because I don't have the exact message. Any ideas on this subject?

  Fortunately, I did the DVD to recover for the restoration of Windows 7, but I would like to run Windows 8 in the laptop.

  Kind regards.

  Javier.

  If I m not wrong not the message means that the partition does not provide sufficient space to install the system Win 8.

  I think you need to format the partition before you begin the installation of the system.
  This option should be given during the installation of the OS, I can not say with certainty what stage should provide this option, but this should be asked at the beginning of the installation

• Satellite Pro A300-1E7 - slow startup

  Hello

  It takes more than 5 minutes for my PC to boot from by pressing the button to get the Vista desktop (Business) to appear. Can anyone suggest something to improve this unusually long boot?

  Given the specification of the system, this seems a little crazy, especially when I started at the side of every portable specified and they take less than 2 minutes.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello!

  You have a lot of file and msconfig startup programs? This can cause a slow start at the top. Check it!

  More I read it in the forum, sometimes useful for uninstall TEMPRO s. trying to remove it and test it.

  Also what operating system are you using?

  Good bye

• Module need Bluetooth for Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4

  Hello world

  I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a * module Bluetooth * which would be compatible with my Satellite Pro * A300/2 4 * portable. I'd get a small dongle but I was hoping to get something that was out of the way and view and no need to connect and reconnect when necessary. The model above mine (Satellite Pro A300-28R) _ has Bluetooth but I can't find more information.

  Can just install the module form of the model above on mine? My laptop has bluetooth program already installed on it.

  Thank you

  + Bam +.

  Hello

  A300 - 2C4 does not support the internal BT module
  I'm not very well if the motherboard supports a miniPCI for BT m module slot
  Usually it should support, but I recommend to ask the technician ASP in your country.
  Here, you can order the necessary BT miniPCI module and could request the installation

  I would not recommend upgrading yourself because you will need to disassemble the laptop and this means you lose the warranty!

• Need help with the installation of Windows XP Home on my Satellite Pro A300-1DZ

  Hi all.

  I have a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ system unit, model no PSAG1E-OOFOO4EN (think they are 'o' and not '0', circle with slash through it) with WXP Pro.

  I recently contracted a virus inside and as he removed, however it is not good so I want to re - install Windows XP Home edition. I backed up the computer, I have a Windows XP Home SP2 Pro edition disk and I have my product key.
  I put the CD/DVD in BIOS to run 1 drive and tells me that I can boot from the CD, I press a button and it loads the CD, select the option where to install windows.

  BUT! I can t go further than what windows does not detect the HD said he s not now, or whatever.

  My question is this: Please can someone me step by step instructions on how to reinstall XP and a link to all the drivers I need to make it work?

  PLEEASE!

  It's simple on my PC, also, please keep in mind, I am best suited for working on cars, I'm not stupid, but my calloused hands search for computers a little more difficult than Motors please not in many computer technical terms.
  I myself am the slow education in the dark arts of computers. LOL :)

  PS. the laptop has a Vista Basic sticker on it, but it is certainly the XP pro operating system. :)

  Hi jeff

  Here's your solution:
  1. go to bios with F2 when you see the toshiba start screen.
  2. Select the arrow to the left using the "Advanced".
  3 press down until you get to "SATA Controller Mode".
  4 change, using F7/F8, Chang [AHCI] setting [compatibility].
  5. make sure the CD/DVD drive is the first to start and F10 save and exit. computer restart when you are prompted to "press any key" press a button and hey presto as before windows will start the installation, but this time you won't get windows you said:

  Set up did not find Ant hard disks installed on your computer.

  Make sure any drive HARD are powered on and properly connected to your computer and any hard disk related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or Setup program.

  implementation cannot continue press f3 to goto hell... uh I mean leaving the installation

  And you can continue on your installation of Windows XP Home edition.

  Hope I helped many other jeff's in the same boat. XD

• Satellite Pro A300-2CW - necessary with Windows XP recovery disc

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 2CW. I bought it with the software Windows XP (included in a CD), which worked perfectly for years. I reinstalled several times this year, but now the CD has deteriorated and it no longer works.

  The machine was originally WIndows Vista installed with the option to create DVD recovery and a recovery of HARD drive option, but I think that it is not possible for Windows XP.

  Do I have any options? Where could I buy the original Windows XP CD?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can try to order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
  Otherwise you can install the clean version of Windows XP Home edition. All drivers of Windows XP Home edition, utility tools announcement can be downloaded from Toshiba download page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  * Satellite Pro A300-15 t model series No. 58256558W, Réf. PSAJ1E-00F00YAR *.

  The sound has suddenly stopped from the Windows Vista EMBLEM or LOGO when booting and before the logon screen comes.
  This problem started in the last 5 days. Before everything was OK.

  I did not do anything in the sound settings, and they are the default selections only.

  Maybe you should check if the Windows Vista startup sound is not disabled.

  I found a cool site that shows you how to check it:

• Satellite Pro A300: Problem with Microsoft Security Essentials

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 with XP SP3 and now deleted AVG Free and installed Microsoft Security Essentialls (MSE).

  The result is after installing MSE and begin my laptop cursor is stuck in the center of the screen and will not respond to the inputs of the mouse or the keyboard.

  In aid of F12 to get my startup options allowed me to try the Safe Mode and last known good Configuration etc but they all show the same functionality, IE freeze when the desktop appears. XP seems to be operating in the background, for example system clock stays on time, "notice" system if its wifi singal is removed etc.

  Just to make the day to try to do an OS reinstall pressing 0 to on has no effect - system just boots in XP - so I can't my recovery partition!

  I have now is not a HW problem as the /kbd cursor works if I boot into a non-windows system, for example UBUNTU CD

  Any suggestions welcome - such as can I download a recovery on antother PC CD and burn a recovery CD?

  Hello

  I have no idea what happened after installing Microsoft Security Essentials, but it seems that you are not able to access the files on the HARD drive
  I think you need to reinstall the operating system using HARD drive recovery.
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=58

  But this would format the system partition :(

  In order to save the files from the HARD drive, I recommend using / boot from a bootable floppy from Win PE.
  Win PE (also called BartPE) is a thin window OS that is bootable CD and don t need to be installed on the HARD drive.
