• Satellite Pro P200-HD: how to use it with Win XP

  Recently, I received the new Satellite Pro P200 HD of Getech. I asked Getech to change the XP operating system because my University will not support Vista. I was told that some features are lost with XP, such as the hot key utility and I agreed to go ahead.

  However, I was not informed that the sound is scratchy and the video will behave as if I play a scratched CD.
  It is true with windows sounds as well. I was not able to enjoy the music or video. I have all the drivers updated and the new Bios XP released recently has been updated.

  Please does anyone know someone using this model with XP as an operating system with the sound and video works properly?
  This would mean that I was sold a laptop with a defective sound equipment and should get a replacement because I had this problem from day one.

  Thanks for the help in advance.

• White screen after the Satellite Pro P200 display driver update

  I installed the latest display driver ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 (8.432, on the site of Toshiba through Tempo) on my Satellite Pro P200 yesterday. Reboot, everything seems good as much as the screen "Please wait...". "Windows Vista professional, but instead of showing the page of connection I get an empty screen (with a mouse cursor that moves around as usual). All I can do at this point is to be able to, and I'm running out of ideas on how to move forward.

  Things I've tried:
  # start in safe mode, the video resolution or last known good configuration, result the same screen empty.
  # connect to the system using remote desktop (to disable the driver) is not possible because the system has not yet loaded the network drivers.
  # I can't go back to a restore point because Vista can't find (I did a manual after you install updates windows over a couple of days).
  I can run a system command line options of recovery and prefer to use it to disable the driver + if + I knew how before the use of the more radical options.

  A search on the web (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ati+catalyst+vista+blank+screen&hl=en&sa= N) reveals that this has happened on a wide range of laptops with
  previous versions of the driver, but none of the links I've looked at to give a solution which does not exist for me.

  I agree with Hairyfool, you who should solve problems using an external display. If no image appears, then something with the material might be.

  Please give some information about your situation...

• Satellite Pro P200-15W: drivers ATI Mobility HD2600 & game bugs

  Hello
  first of all, please, I beg you, forgive my English, I use a translator

  message from Ati:

  + "" Please contact AMD customer care for ATI products service! +

  + The only version that you can use your card is one that is available to the manufacturers of your laptop's Web site. Unfortunately, with 2 cards Radeon to the k series, laptop manufacturers has decided to be the only provider of pilots. We cannot offer you a software. » » +

  It is a big problem, because the gaps are excluded in for example some games.
  I have problems with Bioshock (and others), the drivers recent ATI solve and improve a lot of things, but they do not exist for the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600.

  I have Windows vista Business, in a new Satellite Pro P200-15W, is a very good laptop, but unfortunately without the updated drivers with the last improves the manufacturer Ati will have lost performance and bugs without resolving (I think)

  Is no way to solve this?
  Thank you

  > Here is the technical service of Toshiba?
  It seems that it is only a user forum. Here no Toshiba technician!

  > How is it possible that do not allow to use the latest drivers from ATI?

  Because graphics cards for laptops are not the same thing as s GPU for laptops!
  Toshiba graphics card drivers are a bit changed. The drivers support a thermal protection to prevent GPU notebooks against damage.

  The graphics in the books don t support an own huge cooling modules as the GPU workstations.
  Therefore, the graphics driver must control the growth of the temperature. If the temperature increases to a critical level, the GPU driver decreases the performance of the graphics card to lower the temperature.

  The original ATI don't support such characteristic graphic drivers!

  But there should be a possibility to use the ATI drivers.
  You must download the ATI driver package and install the driver from the Device Manager.
  There, choose Install from a list or a specific location-> don't search. I will choose the driver to install.
  Then simply select the INF file that was downloaded with the package.

  But note; These drivers can be used only at your own risk!

• Satellite Pro P200 won't start

  I have an old 1 week per Satellite Pro P200, it turns off when I was just in the start menu, so I was not doing something out of the norm (power cable is plugged). Since then it just won't turn.

  With the connected power cable I have an electric blue, power battery and light (although attempts to restart about 2 the battery light was red, but now blue). The drive light flashes for about 3 seconds each time I try to start and I can hear something happening inside the machine, but after only 3 seconds... nothing, completely dead.

  I tried to remove the battery, wait 20 minutes or more and none of it worked. Anyone have any ideas?

  Seems to be definitely a hardware problem... very bad :(
  Why you visit your dealer for new laptop and ask for Exchange.
  Maybe the dealer will exchange the laptop with a new.

  If this isn't the case, then you must contact the service provider authorized in your country for assistance.
  If you have purchased an extra service on the spot then the technician you will visit at home and will try to solve this problem.

  Good luck

  Hello

  It's a difficult topic-> XP on Vista machines.

  First: Yes, you can install XP on it because all the important factors are available (VGA, SATA, wireless, XP BIOS, BLUETOOTH) and that should be enough.

  Because your computer has a BIOS for Vista (I guess there a) Please install the BIOS XP first and then start the installation of XP. In the case that your HARD drive is not recognized then you need to install the SATA driver during the installation of windows XP. The procedure is described in the statement of the Satellite L40-> XP installation, so if you want to install and problems SATA (HDD, not during the XP installation), you must check the installation instructions for Windows XP for a SATELLITE L40!

  If you have additional questions, I recommend allows you to place your question here before doing something that may stop your nerves later. :)

• Failure of the BIOS - Satellite Pro P200 - 16 c

  I installed Windows 7 64 bit on a laptop Satellite Pro P200 today. I then tried flashing the BIOS through windows with program Flash BIOS on Toshiba driver download page. I used the program flash for Vista because none is available for Windows 7. The program started and took a backup of my old version of BIOS and then Flash the BIOS. Then after a while an error occurred saying that this operating system was not supported.

  Alright. I restarted the computer and he was going to access the BIOS to see if the new version was done to install or not. But I can't access the BIOS now since the TI of suddenly password protected. I tried Google known standard Phoenix BIOS passwords, but they do not work. Now I've mistyped the password if often the computer won't let me even start without entering a correct password.

  How can I reset the BIOS? Should I open the laptop and remove the CMOS battery? Which will work?

  Help, please...

  Hello

  You used not compatible BIOS and it seems that module ROM BIOS was not flashed properly.
  Unfortunately, there is nothing to do but to contact the ASP of Toshiba in your country,
  Guys could remove the password and can reflash the BIOS using a traditional disk BIOS version and the crisis.

  > How can I reset the BIOS? Should I open the laptop and remove the CMOS battery? Which will work?
  No, remove the CMOS battery would not help because as far as I know that the CMOS battery is not removable on laptops just ASP can clear the BIOS password.

• Change of graphics on Satellite Pro P200-1DV

  So yes, basically I won't be able to get the most out of the monitor.
  My only option is to get a new graphics card that supports resolutions 1080 1920 x.

  Is my processor - Mobile Intel® Core 2 Duo T7700 processor

  Can you please recommend me a graphics card which supports 1920 x 1080? and who will support my processor?

• Satellite Pro P200 PSPB7E - I need some drivers XP

  Hello world

  First of all, I would like to say that this forum is so great, because after fighting for a week trying to install XP, I had finally finished it, however now comes part 2 of the problem :(

  Before I installed XP on my system I did so that I have all the drivers, I went on the Toshiba site and downloaded all the XP drivers. When responsible got XP I could see there was a lot of drivers uninstalled in Device Manager, so I installed them. However, a few of them remain and I don't know what to do as I downloaded all from the Web from Toshiba site.

  I myself remember before I installed the drivers there are 2 required audio and one of them installed, I also tried to install the "Display driver" but I can't because its not letting me run the actual setup file it says the file www.LATICRETE.com being created is more than 88 characters: s never seen this error before.

  So in all I have 3 missing drivers, they are:

  Audio device on High Definition Bus Audio - but my sound works
  PCI controller memory, and
  Video controller (VGA Compatible)

  Any ideas of what I could do? Thank you

  Yes, the forum is really helpful!
  I m regular guest here. I have 3 laptops and I would like to share my knowledge with other users

  * Only for note; *
  All THE XP drivers are available for this laptop Satellite Pro P200 PSPB7E on the European driver Toshiba page!

  In addition, if you check the European disc of Toshiba page you would see that there is a special BIOS update for Win XP!
  This means that you must update the BIOS if you want to use XP on this laptop!

  Regarding your question of pilot;
  > Audio device on High Definition Bus - Audio but my sound works

  I also have this yellow exclamation point. This is normal with Win XP, but if you want to check out these tips:
  You must first install the MS patches: KB835221and KB888111.
  Remove the device on High Definition Audio Bus Audio from the Device Manager, then restart the computer again.
  You may need to reinstall the audio driver.

  > The video controller (VGA Compatible)
  This unit requires a graphics card driver
  Check if you can use the XP driver out for one of these models:
  Equium A200 PSAE8E
  PSAENE satellite A210
  Equium P200 PSPB8E
  Satellite A200 PSAE6E
  Satellite A210 PSAELE
  PSPB6E Satellie P200
  Satellite P200 PSPBQE
  Satellite Pro P200 PSPB7E
  Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7E

  > PCI memory controller
  You must install the Texas Instruments Flash Media Driver

• Satellite Pro P200: Cannot install Server 2003 - parity memory error

  I have a Satellite Pro P200 and to the work required to install Windows 2003 server on it, but all I get is an error message:

  -Hardware malfunction

  Call your provider of support material

  NMI: Parity check / memory parity error

  -The system is shut down

  I checked the memory and everything seems OK. Vista runs very well on it, and all memory is recognized. I tried different flavors of Server 2003, although all I need is standard edition. Anyone who has met this problem, or someone has any suspicion as to how I can get it operational.

  So, how tested the RAM? With Memtest? Or Prime95?

  I read in many forums that people work servers (no laptop...) SERVERS) that correctly work 1 year with ECC memory, then windows 2003 server gives the same error message you have.

  I mean if Vista works flawlessly and you checked as you say the RAM while there could be a mismatch which must not be for lack of toshibas.
  Maybe you should try a linux ubuntu server edition, which works great on almost * ALL * systems, even on systems with faulty CPU/memory (Ok, ok, not 100%, but it works, I got this case :))

  So, maybe you can try to exchange the RAM, but if you're still the same error then ask microsoft or try another P200, if they are available.

  Sorry dude, but I Don t have a lot of ideas in your situation :/

• 2nd hard drive in Satellite Pro P200

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite Pro P200.
  Anyone know where I can get an advance and a shopping cart to install a 2nd hard drive?

  As far as I know your laptop can be improved with the second HARD disk if the SATA connector is available.
  When you remove the HARD drive to the second HDD can you see it or not?

  I have the Satellite P200D with place for second HARD drive, but there is no connector HDD SATA upgrade is not possible.

• SSD upgrade for Satellite Pro P200 (PSPB7A-01000J) - possible?

  Hello world

  I had a Satellite Pro P200 for 3 years and more. It came with Vista Business pre-installed, but I have successfully installed Windows 7 a few months ago.

  A few months ago, I replaced the C drive in my office with a Solid State Drive and now he sings - program start and loading of the system is much faster than before.

  Now I'm wondering if the SSD upgrade even could be done to my trusty P200 and if yes, what brand/model of SSD could be better. It should be 128 GB or 256 GB maybe.

  Anyone else been in this way? The results? Pitfalls?

  All responses appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Greg.

  Hello

  I think that it should be possible.
  You must use a SATA SSD drive since the laptop supports the SATA controller.
  To be honest, I never tried to upgrade the laptop with a SSD but SSD is not very different from the HARD drive and normally should not be a problem.
  In some cases, an update of the firmware of SSD may be necessary but usually these firmware updates should be available on the SSD drive manufacturer support page.

• Problems with multitasking on Satellite Pro P200

  I am the owner of a new Satellite Pro P200.
  I use this laptop to use software such as photoshop, indesign, etc.

  * Now I have problems with multitasking! *
  It is not possible to run 3 programs at the same time.
  That I have to restart my laptop again and again.

  Does anyone know what is the problem?
  Can someone help me with this problem?

  For two weeks I have P200D. I use it for work and use different applications at the same time. So far, everything is OK and I am very satisfied. Maybe you should try to optimize the operating system:
  -remove all software, you do not need
  -disable the startup of unnecessary software of automatic startup (MSCONFIG)
  -customize the appearance
  -information on the open performance and Control Panel tools and use tasks on the left side to improve the performance of computer s

  P200 is powerful enough and must be able to manage with a few applications running at the same time.
