Satellite Pro A300D - error during DVD playback

Hello

I have a problem with my satellite Pro A300-140 under Vista 32 - bit OS

Whenever I try to watch a DVD I get an error message "unable to output the video to an external device. Please check the external output setting after the end of the application "-I don't mean to connect what - I want to just watch a movie!

Ideas - I've read, it's a known issue, but I can not re - find information?

Thank you

  • "The color is not compatible" error during DVD playback

    While recently playing a dvd, I got a message saying that the color was not compatible or some such garbage.  I already watched this movie to dvd before without problem.  Now I can't get my computer to play a movie in color as the setting have been changed without my knowledge...

    All I get is blue and mustard tones.  How to bring back the color so I can watch my movies?

    REET

    That means the monitor cable is lose generally or broken inside.  But since you said it showed a message, you might want to consider maybe just using the option #1 here to cancel and return to until you get this message.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300D - firmware for the DVD player?

    Hello

    I recently got a nice new Satellite Pro A300D of my work and was just my typical thing to go through the update of their efforts. However, when you try to update the firmware of the DVD drive for my particular model (PSAK9E-00C003EN), I realized that the firmware he suggested was wrong. After watching on my pc, I discovered that my drive is Pioneer DVD - RW DVRTD08A (1.50), but I can't find information anywhere on the net about the updates of the firmware (or the existence of this drive at all!). Could someone point me in the direction of some information and firmware more recent if it exists?

    Thanks for any info that someone has!

    Satellite Pro A300D was equipped of various CD/DVD players.
    On the Toshiba driver page, you can find an update of the firmware that came out for a CD/DVD drive that was not installed in your laptop and so you can not install this update.

    If you are unable to find an update of the firmware of your CD/DVD drive, then an update doesn't exist and is not necessary!

  • Satellite Pro A110 crashes during the transfer of the large data in LAN

    Hello

    My Satellite Pro A110 crashes during the transfer of the large data in LAN. The network driver is a Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC I've been looking through this forum and found some wire whit exactly the same problem, saying that the solution is to update Realtek lan set up in BIOS, not the computer BIOS, but I can't find any link to download the necessary upgrade file. Can anyone tell me please where to find this upgrade file or send it to me directly?

    Thanks in advance

    Is - this transfer of data in the company where you work? Do you want to download data from the server, or how to understand this? How to understand what you mean under big data?

    Have you tried downloading data on the Internet? For example, if you try to download some trailer HD (more than 200 MB)?

  • Satellite Pro A300D - reinstalled XP - now its does not work

    Recently, I had a virus on my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro A300D-14O, which meant that I had to take it to get reinstalled Windows.
    This tech guy who I gave it to a do.

    However, now, the sound does not seem to work properly.
    The volume on the laptop wheel itself does nothing.
    I tried to open Control Panel to check the sounds and audio devices, but I could not change anything in the boxes.

    I tried to download a driver from toshiba Web site was updated, but I thought that it could not find the device driver support.

    Can anyone help?

    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.

    Should work as it worked in my case as well

  • Satellite Pro A300D - driver for multimedia audio controller

    Hello

    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?
    I use the computer to work with the music and I'll record some people soon and I really need to work!

    Best regards

    Hermann

    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-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.

    I am running Windows XP Pro SP3

    Thank you
    Dan Smith

    I don't know if my advice can help, but you have the problem with the operating system preinstalled Toshiba?

    You tried the latest drivers from Toshiba Web site or other sites?

    As far as I know that the Satellite Pro A300D has Vista as an operating system. If you need to reinstall the operating system from the Toshiba recovery disc. There are all pilots understand.

  • Satellite Pro A100 crashed during Windows BIOS upgrade, now does not start.

    Satellite Pro A100 crashed during the upgrade of the bios from windows (upgrade the bios using windows), now the laptop will not boot. I press the on switch and it gives me just a blank screen, so I think that resets itself. I really need help solving this because I have a University paper due in the next few days and I need my laptop!
    Close for any help.

    It's a scream! :_| : O

    This looks like a damage ROM module!
    How did you do the BIOS update? I have red in this forum that a wrong procedure or wrong BIOS can damage the motherboard.

    I think that it s a deal. I put t know if it s needed to change the entire motherboard or update the BIOS again but I n t think you will be able to do it yourself.

    I think the best way is to ask the Toshiba service partner in your country.
    I think they'll give you more details on the handling of the Fryer

  • 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
