• Satellite L300D - can't watch movies using a Toshiba DVD player

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L300D - 12L and the toshiba dvd player has stopped working.

  The laptop is always able to recognize the dvd as the 'AutoPlay' box appears when a DVD is inserted and says ' DVD RW drive (e :)) "at the top of the follow-up to the title of the film.
  I then click on 'play the DVD using a DVD TOSHIBE movie'... and nothing happens.

  I tried several different DVD, which I know work in other laptops or DVD players.
  I tried by following this link...

  http://www.TechSpot.com/VB/topic27616.html

  and deleted the lowerfilters and upperfilters but that cause problems and I had to perform a system restore.
  I'm running out of ideas and I would like to be able to watch DVD on my laptop again because I don't have a TV or a DVD player.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It seems that the CD-DVD drive can read the disc, but it seems that the Toshiba DVD Player cannot play video files

  Then maybe you should try to play the DVD using other software like Windows Media Player or VLC player download VLC player this small software and install it
  Then try to play the movie

  I recommend also to install the tool called DVD Player Update Check Tool that you find on the European driver Toshiba page.

  With this tool, you can check your laptop, if your DVD player needs an upgrade and if so, it gives you the download link for version upgrade needed.

• Satellite Pro P200: Cannot play Age of Empires, because DirectDraw

  I just replaced my old laptop (a ps210e) with a 15th Satellite Pro P200.

  I can't my old age of Empires II game to run--the error message is "cannot initialize the graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw. »

  Google told me that there is utility to run to test this called dxdiag and I ran it and it says allowed to DirectDraw acceleration (as well as many other things).

  So, what should I do to get the Age of Empires to run?

  Moreover, is this an official forum of Toshiba to get technical support, or simply a community of user group? I couldn't find anything on the Web of Toshiba UK site actually contact the Toshiba direct technical support.

  Thank you

  Stand by. Have you Vista preinstalled Satellite Pro P200? Did you check the minimum system requirements for Age of Empires?

• Satellite Pro M70 - cannot install the Driver of Toshiba Power Saver

  Hi, I can not install driver of toshiba power saver on my laptop because instalation crashes with error 1610: the configuration data for this product are damaged. Please contact the support staff. I tried several versions of driver of standby power. I received the latest official chipset driver... Someone knows how to fix this?

  My second problem is with the battery, my laptop running on battery max 10 minutes (I have my laptop for 2 years) and I often force using battery power. Battery can lose so much capacity in 2 years even if I used for my battery once a week?

  Sorry for the English and thx for answer

  I think that you should not install this driver, the only saving electricity only.
  What about the battery? In my opinion, it is possible. In my opinion, the duration of battery life cannot be defined so easy.
  Some batteries perform well after 3 years of use, and some of them are dead after only a year.

• Satellite Pro A300D-140 - graphic question

  Hi all

  I wonder if someone can help me. I'm having a lot of problems with my new laptop at the moment, and I'm now about to re - format and reinstall Windows.
  The question is this: when you browse the Web site with pictures or embedded videos, display struggles to scroll to the bottom and is very 'jerky' and slow. This happens in two & Firefox Internet Explorer.
  Its not just web browsers that have the problem, Word, Excel etc. all I have this problem. I produce a lot of documents and sometimes necessary, scroll through them - and performance when you scroll is a joke!

  I contacted ATI and they have washed their hands of this issue and refuse to do something.
  I tried the latest drivers, the drivers supplied with the laptop, restored to the latest drivers, made an update of the BIOS, chipset update firmware, update driver processor etc... and nothing has worked! Have really no idea on how to move forward from this.

  Any ideas / suggestions would be greatly appreciated - or if someone needs additional information, I'll check this thread.

  Hello

  You must install the Win XP SP3!
  This package must be installed BEFORE installing the audio driver.

  Install SP3
  Then remove the audio driver (already installed) system
  Go to Device Manager and remove the sound chip of the list of devices
  Restart the device
  Now reinstall the sound card driver.

• Satellite Pro A300D - driver for multimedia audio controller

  I have Toshiba Satellite pro A300D and someday the built in mic, built into the camera and the speakers stopped working.

  When I checked the Device Manager, I saw that the driver for the multimedia controller wasn't working so I uninstalled and went on the toshiba site for the installation of the new driver.
  When I watched the drivers to my computer, they have everything except this driver!

  Is there anyone who knows were I can find it?

  Hi Hemmi,

  Interesting to know is which operating system you have.
  Can you post this information?

  Generally, all the drivers are placed on the Toshiba driver download page. There is an audio driver for normal output audio (speakers) and the webcam software. The latter you must also for micro because it s a part of webcam.

• Satellite Pro A300D - missing Dolby Sound Room under WXP

  Hello

  I need help.
  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300D - 161 and it had Windows Vista but he crashed and installed Windows XP Professional.
  The problem is that when I got Vista sound was with Dolby Sound Room and it sounded very good.

  But now, it's offal as an old PC... maby you know a kind of drivers that can help to increase the sound of my laptop?

  I assume that you have the correct driver installed and also requires that you install official Toshiba support page.
  You must understand that this laptop is designed for Vista and better performance in any aspect that you'll probably Vista. This laptop model is also supported for WXP but of course the drivers and utilities and additional tools do not offer in so many different settings as a software designed for Vista.
  Have you tried to change the sound quality using equalizer in players you use?

  I have the Satellite A300 - 1LI running WXP and the sound is OK. The key is that the sound is strong. ;)

• Re: Satellite Pro A300D-161 - I want to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB

  Hello, I want to upgrade my RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB.

  The laptop box, said the other: 2 GB DDR2 800 Mhz, but when I check the CPU - Z it says 400 Mhz

  http://img140.imageshack.us/i/cpuz1.PNG/
  http://img267.imageshack.us/i/cpuz2.PNG/

  The website of toshiba says also 800 Mhz, so wich 1 I need to buy?
  1 x 2 GB DDR2 - 400 Mhz
  or
  2 x 2 GB DDR2 - 800 Mhz

  Also, I wonder when I switch to 4 GB, the amount of memory will be dedicated to my video card?

  Thank you

  Hello

  CPU - Z is definitely wrong! Satellite Pro A300D-161 needs DDR2-800 MHz to upgrade according to the specs on the Toshiba site.
  If the information on the laptop box is correct.

  More video RAM will be assigned automatically and with 4 GB of RAM you will get more memory video too.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A300D - where can I get driver ceiling microphone?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300D. I upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista, but lost my Toshiba built in software while doing so. I can access my webcam via applications such as Skype, but my microphone no longer works.

  Where can I find the driver for the webcam/microphone software that I had before the upgrade?

  Hi PyroTails,

  The built-in mic is part of the webcam, which means that you need to download the driver for the webcam that you can get here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  After installation, it should be possible to use the internal mic. :)

• Satellite Pro A300D heats and turns off

  Satellite Pro A300D gets very hot and sometimes it turns off by itself. He did this recently.

  What could be the problem?

  Hello

  Usually, the notebooks of cooling modules should be good enough to ensure that the laptop could be cooled properly.
  It s not necessary to use a cooling means.

  In most cases, these cooling States blow air.
  This can be problematic, because internal notebooks cooling fans blow hot air too.

  I think you need to make sure there is enough free space around the laptop and should not use the device in his bed, sofa or on the lap. Use the laptop on the table and I think that this should help to avoid overheating more far.

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro A300D - black & white photo via S-video

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A300D. After months of work perfectly, it now gives me a black & white image on my screen extended through my S Video Jack, although my laptop screen is in color.

  I checked all the wires and they are fine. Did I miss something?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I had the same problem on my laptop satellite. I connected the laptop to my TV using an S-video cable and the image was just black & white.

  After reading here in the forum, I founded that I should try another cable. So I went to my local computer store and bought a high quality cable. I plugged the laptop once again on TV and everything was fine! :)

  And don t forget you check the settings of the TV in the display driver. If you have an NTSC TV, you will need to use this mode, otherwise the PAL mode.
