Satellite Pro A300: XP - Internet HSDPA speed limit - only 1 MB

Hello

I am user of 2 different models of Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-1NT.
I use XP Professional extracted from the original XP Recovery disk.

When it is connected to internet provider GSM using ExpresCard HSDPA modem or HSDPA USB modem I get 1 MB speed limit control on speedtest websites (ie: speedtest.pl) and internet usage is relatively slow when comparing other computers.

When Windows Vista was installed on the model of the A300 speed was greater than 5 MB.

I already checked, I'm in the range of UMTS and speed on other computers (Toshiba Tecra with WinXP Pro, Toshiba A100) and M70 with Win XP Home with the same modem (Huawei) has no such speed limit

What might be the case and the solution?

Hello

Have you checked the WLan performance using different WiFi standards?
You can change the Wlan standards in Device Manager-> card Wlan-> properties-> Advanced tab.

Check the settings there.
I recommend using a WiFi standard 802. 11 G for example instead of B/G

In addition, you should check if you can update the WLan driver and if the BIOS is updated.

    Hello

    I've had obviously my machine for a few years now and have never had any problems with it even though I used to always use an ethernet connection. Lately, but I moved to wireless broadband.

    When I try to install or update some programs or even just access the internet through them they claim that there is no internet connection. Although Internet Explorer and Windows updates are all still works fine. These programs include Itunes Store, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Log-me-in Vital Source Bookshelf, Adobe/Acrobat Updaters. As you can imagine it is a proplem to access updates and creates a problem with my studies that I use for my class.

    I tried other suggestions of forums such as the update of drivers, install all latest updaters for windows. However, I'm still stuck with the same exact problem.

    Can someone help me please?

  • Satellite Pro A300 freezes when on the internet

    Satellite Pro A300 freezes when on the internet & the only way to turn it off is to take out the battery. Bought new Dec 2010 & is under warranty - suggestions?

    Hello

    have you tried to update drivers Lan (wlan)? What browser do you use? I guess, the Internet explorer, try firefox or opera. Also, your computer may be infected with the virus, or blocked by the firewall. Have you installed software before it starts? Is this ok when you bought it? I ask you too, because you do not have a lot of information.
    It is especially the driver, software problem.

  • 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.

    (> 2) I'll 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.
    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.

  • Satellite Pro A300-guest 1GT - error message when starting webcam

  • I can't open Firefox on my Satellite Pro A300

    Satellite Pro A300 - Windows XP - I downloaded Firefox, but when I click to open it I get the icon of the hourglass for a while but eventualy it disappears and nothing happens. I use IExplorer without any problem, but I want to use Firefox as my preferred browser.

    Can anyone suggest a solution please?

    Hello

    > I downloaded Firefox, but when I click to open it I get the icon of the hourglass for a while but eventualy it disappears and nothing happens.
    This means t t, you can launch the installation of Firefox or open Firefox as Internet Explorer?

    As writes Timox I think you should contact the Mozilla Firefox support. Who knows why the program doesn't start

    By the way, and what you can try:
    Download and install Firefox once again, it is perhaps only a corrupt file s and make sure that no firewall and AntiVirus is blocking the installation.

    Good luck! :)

  • 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.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA - wireless connection, drop all the time

    Hi, I have a problem with my wireless connection fall all the time on my Satellite Pro A300 1EA.

    It happened earlier, but I've fiddled about a little with change of drivers and the removal of the connection settings for the registry and it then worked fine for months, until yesterday.

    There were several updates for Windows installed yesterday, but none of them have been updated driver for the wireless card, and they don't look like they should cause problems. The fact that the problem happened before makes me think that the updates can be anything to do with it.

    I use the * Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300 * for Vista 32 - bit version 12.2.0.11.3 drivers from the Toshiba download page.

    Other computers on the same access point have no problem, so I think it is specific to this laptop. The connection speed is normally 6 Mbps, but I cannot even check e-mail now without the abandonment of the connection.

    Laptop will be thrown against a wall soon if no one can help you.

    Thanks in advance.

    Edit: I've already made sure power settings are at maximum to the WLAN card, even if on battery, or what power management.

    Hello

    Have you tried to use the Windows System Restore feature? After that your WLAN should work fine again.

    In addition, I can recommend the latest WLAN driver in the Intel page, it s version 12.4.xxxx. I installed the driver on my Qosmio laptop and don t have any problems with it: [www.intel.com].

    If you have any other questions, please let us know!

  • Satellite Pro A300 - WiFi is 50% slower on XP on Vista

    Hello!

    You may notice a different speed of connection in XP or do you think it is 50% slower?

    I think the drivers are different so in your case, I would try the latest XP driver from the Toshiba page:

    So, my friends. Could you give a valuable suggestion whether or not it is prudent to disable startup above entries? I want to speed up my laptop at the highest possible level.

    Thanks a lot for your time!

    Kind regards

    My laptop:
    Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-15V (PSAJ5E) => NOT have multimedia keys except the FN keys.

    Hi Osman,

    Akuma wrote, all processes are needed, such as Conexant sound, Support Button and Flash cards for FN keys and illumination.

    Don t do worry about these programs, everything is ok and that they are necessary for your laptop.

    If you want to improve performance, disable other programs you don't need and defragment your HARD drive at any time.

  • Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9C-01500Y - FSB question

    Hello, I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on the modernization may be my new [Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9C-01500Y | http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en§ion=1&group=1&product=8270&p art = 8813 #spectop] a different model.

    I do not use this system for games or anything like that, for most 2007 Office, web browsing, media and programs such as Photoshop and Dreamweaver. Nothing too high end.

    My model has 800 MHz, but after looking at a few different models, I see that for $100 or more, I can get more speed FSB (1066 MHz) as the model [PSAG9C-01J00Y | http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en§ion=1&group=1&product=8270&p art = 9131 #spectop] which has a little faster CPU as well.

    One of the things that I noticed also is the max for my system Ram is 8 GB and most of the others are only 4 GB. I will not use 64-bit windows, so it is not serious anyway.

    Mainly, I would like to know if it is worth worrying about the FSB. I get how BSF works and what it does, I'm not sure if I need to worry about this.

    Any advice or suggestions are welcome.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    In your case, the speed of the FSB is not really important if you want to use your laptop only for Office 2007, web browsing or Web design.
    The higher FSB is useful if you want to use the memory high performance with higher speed.
    For example; you have bus 533 Mhz front and memory 800 MHz that was wrong with 800 Mhz memory modules because the lower FSB would slow the speed of the memory modules.

    But as I said a higher FSB is not really important if you don t use the laptop for high end games.

  • 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.

    > Toshiba Button support (why should I this program if my laptop doesn't have multimedia keys? OR maybe this program for something else?)
    You can disable it. If your mobile phone does not support the multimedia buttons then this tool is useless.

    > ItSecMng (although I have disabled the Bluetooth Manager to run when starting from this point still remains in the startup)
    I don't know what would make this process, but you can disable this in msconfig-> tab start Mr. If it would take in the future, then you could turn it on again.

    > Agent of filtering the Conexant high definition Audio (what is this program? Do I really need to start?)
    I think that this is necessary. It could improve your audio

    > Toshiba Power Saver
    This is important. It s an additional saving of Toshiba option for Win 7

    > Toshiba Flash Cards
    This tool controls the FN keys.

    > RAID Event Monitor
    Hmm so you don t have two hard disks, then you can try to disable it too.

  • How to connect by Satellite Pro A300-1LW to TV - only monitors VGA port available

    I want to connect my Satellite Pro A300 1LW to the TV to watch DVDs and videos on the internet.
    There is only a single VGA output.

    I have this connected to the input VGA on TV (Sony Bravia LCD TV) and it displays the start-up screens such as the BIOS, Windows startup screen password but fails when the user login screen.

    The television then shows a message indicating "signal not supported.
    Adjust the PC output '.

    Is the complete list of available interfaces:

    1 x DC-in
    1 x external monitor (this is the port that I use)
    1 x RJ-11
    1 x RJ-45
    1 x i.Link (IEEE 1394)®
    1 x external microphone
    1 headphone (stereo)

    It works correctly?

  • Satellite Pro A300 - cursor is random if the power is connected

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 running Vista Business and my synaptic touchpad cursor started becoming erratic and cannot be controlled normally.

    It is hard to move and it will open programs and the internet, etc. This happens every time power outlet is plugged but normally works on battery. I ran Malwarebytes and AVG 8 scans, but they come without any problem. I restarted mode safe (after a forced closed down) and the problem has always existed.

    Can someone throw some advice on this problem?

    Strange. I never heard a question also and now I can t say what is the reason for this, but I hope that I can help you identify the reason.

    It would be interesting to know if you have the same problem with an external mouse. You can check this please?
    You use the original from Toshiba AC adapter or another?

    Perhaps the problem can be solved if you update the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site:
