• Satellite Pro A100 very slow, especially at the start

  Hi, I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A100. In general, I'm very happy with it, but I find it very slow especially at startup. It may take more than 5 minutes to be completely started.

  Are there settings or settings that I can do to fix this?

  Hello

  I agree with the previous user of the forum. I often heard that Norton slows down the system quickly. Try to remove it and test it again.

• Satellite Pro P300 - very slow WiFi connection

  Toshibe Satellite Pro P300 with built in the Atheros AR9281 wireless.

  Running Windows 7.

  ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

  BIOS 2.5

  All the latest versions of the drivers installed including the driver Atheros 8.0.0.225.0 wireless.

  Wireless is annoying...

  Sometimes fails to find the router (Belkin 54g, connected to the Modem cable Motorola (Virgin B/B is the access provider, 10 Mbps)).

  When he finds, connects ok, but sometimes it is impossible to browse web pages - just behave as if there is no connection.

  Bit torrent works also very slowly (in general 0.5Mbit / s depending on the number of peers etc.). Not a port forwarding issue with the router - using utorrent that indicates that the relevant port is open.

  When I connect to the router with an ethernet cable, everything works a treat - much faster and rock solid connection. uTorrent has no hit 10Mbit/s problem at all.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much...

  Alan.

  Hello

  You should first check if your BIOS is up to date.
  If an older version of BIOS is installed then you could update the BIOS.

  It is also advisable to update the installed WLan driver.
  Here, you can check the available WLan drivers:

• Satellite Pro 6100: very slow recharge battery

  I bought a new battery pack for my Satellite Pro 6100 because my old Battery Pack loaded very slowly, about 5 per cent in 12 hours. But it turns out that my other one has the same problem.
  The problem may be the charger or the laptop.
  I already tried to unload the batteries fully.
  Can someone help me.

  Hello

  It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but if you use the new battery pack and the problem is there, it is possible that electronic power on your laptop is not working properly.

• Satellite Pro L20 very slow to start

  My computer is old enough to start once connected for the first time. I have norton auto-start and think this may be it slows down, but how do I know what other programs start automatically.

  I noticed that there are a lot of icons in my taskbar. Any ideas if its something to do with that or somethine else entirely?

  Hi Julie,.

  There are two possible locations for the tasks and processes to be configured for a start. The first (and most obvious) is in the folder 'Start-up' that you will see if you click on "Start-> all programs. A shortcut to an application placed here will cause this application to start when Windows loads.

  Less obvious place is in the system registry, and it is where most of the assigned tasks/processes will be. The best way to view these is to use the MSCONFIG function (just click 'Start'-> run and then type MSCONFIG in the command line).

  When the MSCONFIG window opens, simply click on the "Startup" tab and you will see a list of processes displayed with a check box next to each entry. You can select any process you want to start (but make sure you do not stop the tasks necessary for Windows or the configuration of your own laptop). When you accept all changes you want to the system will ask you if you want to restart and your laptop restarts then with the changes you have made in force. Note that, after the reboot, you will be informed that the system has started in diagnostic mode to return to normal just relaunch MSCONFIG and on the tab GENERAL, click on the 'normal' radio button

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro U300 PSU31E - two how to adjust the fan speed

  While using the laptop the fan comes in for a few seconds and then stops again, which causes the temperature
  increase... what makes the fan?
  Throttle upward rather than stay in a slow to medium status.

  I'm running Vista Business, but I did ' t find the parameters in this regard.

  In the ACPI BIOS is not accessible, but as already posted my problem looks a bit like this:

  Re: ACPI fan on Satellite L30
  Posted the: 13-Sep-2007 22:08 reply

  The fan goes in cycles like this:
  ------------------
  Less than 50, fan
  When > 55, fan to full
  When< 55,="" fan="" on="">
  When< 50,="" fan="" off="">
  and it continues

  ------------------

  It would be much better than when he went to more than 50 years she just spend on bass, then
  It would never reach 55 and never go up.
  And the laptop would be 100 x more silent.

  Another thing: the Germany from Toshiba support page won't load at all or is the global page
  very slow, using different locations and conections. That I can not retrieve all the information to help me.
  And I do not think the University backbone or my DSL 6 Mbps at home is the problem

  Hello

  The fans begin to turn only if a certain temperature point has been reached.
  These fan table information is stored in the BIOS and cannot be changed.

  Some computers laptops satellite supports an additional option in the Toshiba HWSetup. It allows to change the CPU dynamically switchable or always low frequency mode.
  This would set the temperature to a lower level and the fans would lead occasionally.

  In any case, to my knowledge, this option is not available in the Toshiba HWSetup and not in the BIOS so I guess that it s not possible to control fan behavior.

  By the way; If you wish, you can test a tool like aSpeedFanfreeware.
  This program can control the speed of the fans according to the temperatures of the system.
  Maybe it will work on your Satellite Pro U300

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro U300 shows "Unmountable_Boot_Volume" message

  I hope someone can help me...

  I have a Satellite Pro U300 and recently she comes with a stop with the message Unmountable_Boot_Volume error screen.

  Starting the machine, told me that windows did not start properly due to a problem of HW or SW. I gives me the options to start windows normally, go back to the last good configuration known or open in safe mode, however all these lead to the error message Unmountable_Boot_Volume.

  I am responsible to ensure that all new HW or SW is installed correctly and disable them if necessary. However, I have not installed anything recently and the computer was working fine.

  The error message appears for 4 seconds, and then the computer restarts and appears with the same startup message and continues in this circle reboot after each stop error message.

  I'm not a computer whizz as you probably can, but I would be very happy if someone knows what happened to my computer!

  Sometimes the file system can get damaged due to power outages or viruses or bad RAM.

  First of all, you should check the disk for bad sectors. Run the test Advanced in DFT (it is a bootable CD or a floppy disk):
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT

  Then, try to fix the file system by plugging the drive on another PC using a USB 2.5 "SATA HDD adapter. Run CHKDSK on the drive.

  If this does not work, you can try to repair Windows by going to the Recovery Options in the Windows Start Menu (press F8 before Windows starts).

• Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) standby & hibernation fails after updating BIOS

  Hello

  I wonder if it is common that after the upgrade of the Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) of the BIOS 2.50 at BIOS 3, 70 - Win or 3, 90 - Win, do sleep modes and Hibernate the * completely locked laptop computer? *

  After the upgrade, when I try to enter sleep or hibernation, the laptop turns off the LCD and gets locked so it isn't help to press and hold the power button, open/close the cover, press Fn - F3 or F4 - Fn, the only way is to disconnect the power supply and wait until the battery runs down, or simply be very rough and * disconnect the battery *.

  While the Pro U300 is locked, I hear that HARD drive and fans are also swivel - as soon they were when entering standby or hibernation mode. Very ugly behavior - you can FRY your laptop with something like that. I thought that BIOS 3.70 was faulty but unfortunatelly version 3.90 also worthless.

  Furthermore, I can't yet understand why large (70% of the zip file) file of the package to upgrade the BIOS (3.70 and 3.90)... is the portable other flashers log file?

  Your ad, I understand that the screen does not wake up after its entry in the standby or hibernation mode.
  Am I wrong?

  I noticed that Toshiba has released a new version of the Intel graphics driver.
  At this time the update is 02/20/08 and the version is 6.14.10.4831.

  Maybe you should try to update the display driver too check to see if it would help to get rid of this annoying display problem

  I recommend to remove the old version of the graphics driver first, then install the new downloaded driver.

  Mate good luck

• Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) - freezes on the Welcome screen

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U300 model no notebook 01900REN PSU31E purchased as new and connected to Windows XP.

  It worked perfectly fine for about a year until very recently when it started freezing on blue welcome screen. I had to disconnect the battery because it has not proceeded past the blue welcome screen. I ran the antivirus avast but it nothing of the detected note. Now even when I disconnect and reconnect the battery the screen does not go beyond the Welcome screen blue even if the mouse is moved again, and occasionally the pointer arrow-pointer to sand-clock pointer initially and then rest as arrow-pointer changes. Pressing buttons, Ctrl + Alt + Delete, using the mouse or the battery are not any good.

  I backed up things but not until recently. Please help me, I'm an amateur like these sorts of things, I'm English teacher from teaching professional so I really need materials and capabilities of the laptop. What should I do, please help!

  Thanking you in advance,

  Hey the view,.

  Have you tried the same thing in safe mode? Go to the advanced boot menu by pressing F8, select Safe mode.
  Check it!

  It of really difficult to say why this is happening but if it doesn t work I think that it s time to reinstall Windows. So take the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot from it. If you follow the instructions on the screen you get factory in minutes! :)

• Can not install the latest driver from Intel on my Satellite Pro U300-10 display

  Hello

  Intel has recently, a new display driver, which I think is useful to me because it won't let me play games that require:
  Pixel Shader PS1.1
  Vertex Shader VS 1.0
  "Act of war" and others.

  The pilot is the revision of the pilot: 15.12.4.1666, March 5, 2009
  It is supossed to be the latest driver for the video card U300: MOBILE INTEL 965 Express chipset family.

  The problem is that when I try to install, I have an error that says: "not for this system, ask your provider manufacturer.

  How can I install or where I could find the solution?

  I have TOSHIBA Satellite Pro U300-10 with Windows Vista Business 32.
  MOBILE INTEL 965 Express chipset family
  MOBILE INTEL GMA X 3100

  Thank you much in advance.

  Drivers designed for laptops are changed and adapted to provide performance fairly, but not to force a graphics card to run on the limit. As you probably know there are big difference between office and mobile graphics cards.

  Desktop graphics cards have no limits with cooling and drivers can be updated very often. Design of portable computers is completely different and all hardware components are placed on the square. The common problem with laptops is to design the system of cooling, small but effective.
  Because of all these reasons, display drivers must be tested and adapted by the laptop manufacturers. The main point is to protect the material. The same situation is with other manufacturers of graphics card. They don't offer drivers for laptops.

  If your graphics card will blow that will be responsible for this Toshiba or Intel?

  By the way: Satellite Pro U300 is for me a laptop of small business and certainly not designed for games. Do you agree with me?

• When the capacity of the battery falls Satellite Pro U300 occasionally lose power

  Hello

  I suspect you have a defective battery (standard installed on the laptop) on my new Satellite Pro U300 - 11 k and I wonder if someone had a similar problem.
  When the power drops to 10%, my laptop occasionally loses power. In the range of less than 7% capacity always loses power, i.e. either fails to start the hibernation, or is unable to complete the process (I can always tell if power was lost during hibernation because of the characteristic of the system of protection HD sound). I did several tests, especially in the power saving mode. "High performance" mode power seems to be a little more reliable, but still fails to shut down less than 5% of the capacity. The level of Hibernate by default on the Toshiba Windows Vista pack is as low as 2%, so I can wait until it is able to work at this level.

  Overall the battery capacity is about 1 h (Media Player, fashion high performance, maximum intensity) at all about 2 to 2.5 hours (slowed or text editor, mode, brightness low power saving). Charging time is about 1 hour (seems too short). They are difficult to objectively assess that Toshiba avoids quoting the specifications of the battery, but I consider the question of the reliability of the above as being a serious (do not want to take the risk of damaging the HD). I am considering visiting the service center, but leaving both the computer and the battery with them would be a nuisance for me and I would rather avoid it if I can. I wonder if I can claim the warranty on the battery alone?

  Any suggestions would be welcome.

  Background information:
  -The U300 is a few weeks old.
  -The battery has been fully charged and discharged (approximately 15 times since purchase).
  -Cooldown takes 1 h - 1.5hrs
  -J' using Vista Business
  -J' went through the power settings to make sure they are ok and to change threshold levels
  -I am an experienced business user, I use a laptop computer at work which stops always perfectly to the power level of 3%

  Thanks for help

  Reading your post, I do see no battery issues! Everything you say is right and not a malfunction.
  Please note that the Vista operating system needs much more computing resources and the battery is much more emphasized running Vista!

  Please also note that the level and time to discharge the battery can be different! Everything depands of the use of the laptop!
  All the portable devices and parts waste the power of the battery at the same time and that's why there are differences in the discharge procedure.

  Don t be afraid and take advantage of your laptop but if you think you will need to contact the ASP in order to clarify this issue, then feel free to contact service technician.
  They should be able to help you.

  Hello

  you say it s always in the taskbar? Check the autostart folder? Another way may be to use the microsoft sysinternal tools to remove this reminder from startup list. You can also use msconfig, but I guess you have Vista, so it would be better to use sysint...
