• Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A - 02L 001) - remove Vista and install Windows XP

  I'm waiting for delivery of a L300. I also bought XP I want to install XP as soon as I get the L300. The laptop comes with Vista installed which I never liked.

  I intended to create a Vista recovery disc just to make sure before you start the conversion.
  I was going to do the installation of XP reformat the disk and partition of the HD.
  I was also going to download all of the drivers XP for my model on the Toshiba site, the installation then the XP installation had finished.

  Is there anything I should be aware of, or have missed?

  Hello!

  I think you are right but before doing something I will give you a few words of advice:

  Before you do something on your laptop or begin to install Windows XP, you must create the Toshiba in Windows Vista recovery disk. I know that you n t like Vista but with these discs every time you can restore your laptop factory settings. Independent that you have installed on your laptop. You must start only to drive recovery and follow the instructions on the screen. The factory settings will be restored in a few minutes and you should not install additional drivers. The disc already contains all the drivers and tools of Toshiba and so you can save a lot of time! Also if you have problems with your laptop you can test with the settings to determine if it s a software or hardware problem. As you can see it of very useful and easy the recovery disc.

  According to installing XP you need a disc of Microsoft. You must format the HARD drive and you can then create the partitions you want. In your case, I'd a partition for the system and one for your data. The point is that if you need to reinstall Windows XP at a certain point you should not back up the data first because they are already stored on the second partition and to reinstall Windows XP, you need to format only the first partition. Of course, you can do what you want, but then I install Windows on my notebooks.

  Finally and above all drivers that you find on the Australian site of Toshiba, that of right. I think that it shouldn't be a problem to install it so just download all the and the tools of Toshiba. After that, the XP installation is complete and you can do what you want.
  In addition, if you have installed all the drivers and tools for XP you can make an image of your installation. For example with Acronis True Image. Therefore, you can restore your installation of XP every time and I think it can help you save time. I have good experiences with Acronis and I do a picture of my too custom installations.

  I hope this was helpful for you and if you have any other questions, please let us know.
  Have fun with your new notebook from Toshiba! :)

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro M70: the screen is blank after plugging AC adapter

  When the low battery alert lights and I plug in the power adapter, quite often, the screen turns white and the keyboard does not work. The only option I have is to turn off and turn back on it.

  Does anyone else have this problem and if so, is there a solution for this?

  Hello

  This looks like something wrong with the display driver.
  Please, try to disable powerplay in the properties of the graphics card and do not set the CPU at low speed in Toshiba Power Saver mode fixed.
  Check this option.

  Maybe it helps.

• Satellite Pro L450 - 16 M - problem with WIFI and Webcam

  Hey guys

  At first, I'm sorry for my bad English. Last time I heard about 20 years ago at school.
  Here's my problem:
  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L450 - 16M. My OS is Windows7 32 Bit und my router is called Easybox 602.
  Whenever I use my Chicony USB 2.0 Webcamin Skype or other Onlineapplications my Wlan is turned off.

  I can't turn off and turn on before I restarted my computer. I think I downloaded the latest driver
  from this page. I also fixed my system with the recovery CD. Please help me!

  Welcome them
  Sascha

  Hello

  So with other words webcam and WIFI are not usable more right?
  You wrote that you did an installation of recovery using Toshiba Recovery disk: all devices recognized and listed correctly in the Device Manager? Please check this box.

  Generally the wireless network card can also be enabled by using the FN + F8 key combination.

  If webcam doesn t work I would like to reinstall latest driver of the webcam of the official website of Toshiba.

• Satellite Pro P100 - cable had burned down due to a faulty graphics card

  Hello
  I have a problem with my Satellite Pro P100 where to win t start, including trying to restart without the battery.

  I took it for repairers who managed to get it working again. They said a cable leading to the screen had to be replaced with requiring a General Service Officer, as it has been clogged up with dust.

  However once I got it home it works ok, but when I tried to access the options for Nvidia graphics display an error message came upward, which suggests that I have maybe need to install a driver of cassis, which I did immediately and restart the computer the problem has reappeared, computer wouldn't boot.
  I brought for repairs for the second time and they said the cable had burned down again because of a faulty graphics card and would cost a lot to replace.

  If someone has had this problem, it is possible to have just the graphics card replaced without replacing the motherboard and it is likely that the motherboard is too damaged.

  You will appreciate all the comments/tips

  Strange, but I think that there is no other way to replace the motherboard.
  The graphic card it s soldered on the motherboard if the entire motherboard must be exchanged.

  I know that's not good news for you buddy but if the graphics card is faulty, it should be replaced. :(

• Using Nvidia Geforce and Intel hd graphics card both at the same time for games

  Helloo,

  I am new to the community. I bought Lenovo y50 last month. It comes with the dedicated graphics card Nvidia Geforce gtx 860M and Intel HD 4600 Graphics intigrated. Its a portable game even if I am faced with leggings in some high permorfance games.

  Can I use the graphics card Nvidia GeForce and Indigrated Intel HD graphycs... the two all in games...?

  Thank you... Help will be appreciated...

  One thing you can do to ensure the highest perfomance on games is to go to the Nvidia Control Panel programs, manage 3D settings, then find the game you want and set to use only High Performance NVIDIA graphics (or discrete).

  You can not use both cards at the same time by writing this (DirectX 11), but with the arrival of Windows 10 and DirectX 12 July 29, you will be able to use both at the same time to increase performance. So far, however, it is simply not possible to use both at the same time. The best option is to use only the GTX 860 M.

  Hi mate

  First of all thank you very much

  I have a U400 and I installed a driver for Intel graphics from the Intel page too.
  I didn't run the exe file, but I've updated my driver in Device Manager.
  It worked well.

  Also I've read here in the forum that drivers from external pages can only be used at own risk because these drivers are not tested and certified by Toshiba

  However, my U400 run without up to this problem.

• Satellite Pro 4600 the compatibility issue with the LG GCE8080n CD player?

  Hello

  got a used LG gce-8080n-engraver of cd for my 4600 to replace a cd-rom drive with my laptop has been delivered. After reading startup an error message: "Please press F2 to select the boot device. Then 'IDE #1 failure. Of course, the cd burner was not recognized correctly. Even though the cd burner may default, I want to rule out any problem to incompatibity. Thus information on a successful installation of a gce8080n Lounge on a 4600 would be greatly appreciated. Wolfgang

  Hi Wolfgang,.

  This error indicates that you LG burner are incorrectly configured as Master or Cable Select rather than Slave.

  Normally, the configuration is performed by riders on the disc itself, but in the case of the portable 'slim' readers, it is usually preset by the manufacturer in the firmware. This means that it is generally not possible to change the setting. : ()

• Satellite Pro M70-132: excellent WiFi connection but the pings are slow

  Hi all...
  My Satellite Pro M70-132 have problems with Wi - Fi connections (WiFi built in)... Generally, when the connection is excellent (indicator of windows), the pings are slow - very long time: 1212ms, 325ms, 645ms, 2112ms, 91ms, s 168ms... etc 'demand time limit has expired' (or sth like this).
  I have updated with the latest version of the Intel WiFi driver - it does not work...
  I installed new system - it does not work...

  Is it possible, that LAN WiFi is dead on my M70-132? How can I check before sending my 'Toshi' to the service?

  (BTW - built-in Bluetooth has been switched off...)

  I was tempted to access with several AP and also ad hoc. Every time, same results... connection strong-great but pings are slow... and often ping timeout...

  The IP address has been set manually and automatically - it does not work... too multidimensional :-(

  It's not metter WEP encryption is enabled, 'on' or 'off' and no authentication method does not change the situation with WLAN...

  Post edited by: maxgoldie

  Hello

  If the work of WLan connection and you are connected to the router so I guess everything's ok.
  Time to ping depends on not always the strength of the signal.

  If you ping other ip on the net if the time depends on the provider and type of connection.
  But if you ping your WLan router and it s very slow so it s a bit strange.

  If you think there could be something wrong with the Wlan card then you can try asking for help ASP.

• Satellite Pro M70: DDR2 memory matching question

  I have a Satellite Pro M70 (model PSM76E-00500KEN) with 512 MB of RAM in a housing and want to upgrade to 1 GB or more. I plan to put a 1 GB module in the slot to spare, but reading that there is sometimes a performance advantage of the installation of modules of DDR2 in pairs. Can someone tell me if there is any advantage to have the correspondence of the modules into the two slots of the Satellite Pro M70? Or, in other words, is there any reason not to run 1 GB in a slot and 512 MB in the other?

  Hello

  Dual channel DDR involves the use of memory modules DDR 2 to double bandwidth memory. The memory modules DDR themselves are no different. The only requirement is that the controller memory on the motherboard supports this interface dual channel.

  On my desktop with XP, it works... I can set it up in preferences shortcut on the screen.

  If you want to upgrade the memory?

  As far as I know, Satellite Pro M70 PSM75E was equipped with different processors and chipsets for upgrade memory can depends on model that you bought

  But I think you could increase the RAM up to 2 GB of RAM.
  You can use the modules of 533 Mhz 200pin 2 x 1 GB of RAM.

• Question about Vista performance on satellite Pro M70

  I was wondering if anyone knew a lot about the performance of vista. For example, if you run a game under vista it run worse than in Xp because the operating system uses more than the power of the computer?

  Hello

  For two weeks, I use Windows Vista on my Satellite Pro M70. The laptop is not Vista capable, but I am very satisfied. It works very well. I tried to install and play older games like Far Cry and IGI2. It works perfectly without any problems.

  The set comes with 512 MB of RAM. As I said it works well, but I think that it will work much better with more RAM. I think I'll buy another 1 GB module. With 1.5 GB of RAM, I believe that the unit will operate like a rocket. :)

  Which laptop model you have?

• Question about the temperature of the processor and the use of Vista on Satellite Pro M70

  Hello

  I have Satellite Pro M70-113 and it has Intel mobile Pentium 1.86 GHz CPU.
  The problem is that its normal temperature is 80 degrees Celsius... while I use the browser and other common programs...
  and recently it automatically shut off twice and pressing the button works / stop won't turn on... when I unplugged, replugged the power cord so I could only turn it on...

  And while playing games, it would of course go above 100 degrees...

  So you know what is the max temp through which the CPU can go without stop or damage the CPU or surrounding a circuit?
  I know that when I bought this laptop about 2 years back... it was not warm this...

  And by the way this laptop came with WXP Pro preinstalled and doesn't show any vista capable logo (because at the time, there was no such promotion of Microsoft, as it was the year 2005, Nov).

  Now, I use vista and upgraded to 1 GB of RAM and I have no problem using the Vista pc.

  Secondly, I did not update my BIOS to version the most recent is available.

  Although I'd love to have updated the BIOS but I worry about the bad flashing and says BIOS driver update page that the version of the BIOS doesn't support vista - whatever that means? If I go back to Windows XP Home edition after installing the BIOS for vista, the pc will not be usable for WXP or what?

  Is there any link to the processor heats to the old version of the BIOS, I'm still using... will update BIOS facilitated the temperature?

  Please answer.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Wow, you have a lot of questions. :) If I was sort of a support guy to it all with such question much. ;)

  No, I'm kidding; with regard to your questions:

  First of all you must clean your CPU cooling with compressed air, because if the breakdown is clobbed with dust and then it s just logical that your processor is a little bit more 'hot' then 2 years before.

  The max temp is available on the website of intel. I think that the section is called "intel spec finder" or something similar.
  With Vista and bios: you need to update your bios, since then some improvements are making more compatible bios for vista.
  But don t worry, XP won´t be unusable if you update your bios, the bios-update brings improvements for vista, but does not degrade anything about XP.

  If the bios update will solve this temporary problem is not clearly, rather a cleaning as I told you will be better.
