• Satellite U400-112 - WoW problems and the image is not good

  Hello!

  My laptop is Satellite U400-112 and matching video Intel X 3100.

  When I play in openGL, 3D graphics on minimum and the image quality are not good. The same situation with Direct3D even worse. I have a guess - the game not installed, I copied the folder with the game on another computer, maybe I need to reinstall? I installed the latest drivers for the video of the official website of Intel.

  Maybe someone have the same problem and can help me to solve it.

  Hello

  This only happens on the world of Warcraft or in other games too?

  I'm a bit confused because you have set the minimum graphics and then you wrote that the photo isn't good in my opinion that's normal as the photo isn't good, if you play on minimum graphics settings.
  Maybe you can post a screenshot screen or something else.

  You also need to update DirectX version on your laptop that you can find on the Microsoft Web site.

• Satellite U400-22z - how to remove the HARD drive recovery partition

  Hallo,

  My satellite u400-22z came with a big "hdd recovery" folder on the drive hard - yes I know what it does.
  but the unbearably awful version of windows vista that came with the machine made me decide that, in the event of failure of the system, I'm still will not install this failure of the attempt of an operating system.
  So I do not have these data recovery.

  So those ~ 11 GB of junk sitting on my drive is bugging me, I can't delete the folder HDDRecovery, it is somehow protected against deletion.

  How can I work around that?

  Also, is it safe or can I make it safe, to use the small apparently hidden partition (that's recovery also?) I found, which is IIRC ~ 2 GB or larger, for own purposes, without destroying my current installation of windows?

  Thanks in advance,
  Steve

  Hello

  If you have a recovery disk and you do not want to store the folder in hard drive hard disk recovery, you can remove it.

  > I can't remove the folder HDDRecovery, it is somehow protected against deletion.

  Remove you it as you always do to remove all files on your system.

• Satellite A100-455: Impossible to install the LAN driver

  Hello

  I have recently re installed my dual boot Linux/Windows. Linux works fine, but under windows, it refuses to install the LAN Driver (Ethernet controller).

  I installed before the chipset and it still does not work. All the drivers have been downloaded from the Web from Toshiba website.

  Any idea on what could be the problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I know that this question;
  I think you just tried to install a LAN driver is not compatible.

  The A100-455 seems to belong to the PSAA9E series.
  If you choose this series then you will find two different Lan drivers;
  Intel v9.2.24 is a driver Pro1000 and Intel v8.0.43.0 is a driver of Pro100.

  Check both!

• Impossible to format the c drive

  I have a bad virus, bot or what ever that has taken possession of my PC... I am is no longer able to format drive C. I m made three clean installations of the operating system. This was done by train to get rid of the problem. This 'thing' wise very quickly. The next test I was informed that I could use the format function. I'm waiting for a CD from a source that is supposed to help. This just thought you?

  What is the make & model of the hard disk (at least the manufacturer)?

  Download their downloaded and burned to a CD or USB stick bootable diagnostic utility and a boot with formatting / zero / writing / zeros the reader - who will wipe away all of her - initialize to true by default.

  If it still does not work then - you have more than one virus - defective equipment was (and is) involved.  Could be bad hard drive, controller of bad, bad cable, bad mother, bad memory or a bad power supply.

  You happen to know the largest capacity flash drives (USB) available?

  Currently, the largest capacity available flash drives I've seen are 128 GB although Wikipedia shows 256 GB flash drives are available now (September 2011) with plans for up to 2 TB capicities.

  As you can see on research related to Newegg.com below, the 128 GB flash drives are (IMO very) expensive. However, I am sure that the prices will fall as soon as more capacity flash drives are available.

  Newegg.com search result

  This sounds really weird. Are you sure to you´ve downloaded the correct drivers for your computer? What system do you have? XP or Vista?
  Maybe you´ve downloaded a version of Vista, and you have XP. It would be useful and enjoyable if say you what system you have.

  Alternatively, you can visit this site:

  You will find the latest drivers who must work. But be careful before you install something and read the FAQ section on the site!

• Satellite U400 - 112 (PSU40E) - Safe BIOS upgrade - SOLUTION

  Dear all,

  Trying since long upgrade for the bios of my laptop favorite... Toshiba Satellite U400-112 (PSU40E)
  I have Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) English and BIOS version 4.00(until yesterday).
  The problem was that, in windows 7 (32 & 64 bit), the tool flash never started the process of update due to several incompatibilities.
  There is a solution (in fact a workaround solution) to be honest and works 100%!

  My solution is:

  (A) download the latest bios upgrade version appropriate for your laptop, save it (tomake it is easier in the root of the C:\ drive) and unpack it in a temporary folder (for example: bios).

  (B) use the Hiren's Boot CD a real support from a USB or CD (download and burn a CD or follow the process of CD copy on a USB key).

  (C) boot the laptop from the CD or USB flash and in Hiren's Boot Menu, select the version of mini Windows XP.

  (D) allow completely Windows XP startup and then run the tool to update the bios flash from the temporary folder. The update procedure make it exactly as it is described in the manual of the bios update. (If you are not experienced)

  (E) it will update the bios, and then he stops himself. Then you can start normally your operating system, remove any CD or USB key mounted on it.

  I hope you find it helpful and convenient.

  Best regards

  Ioannis

  To be honest I updated the BIOS on my U400 (running Win 7 32 bit), A210 (Vista) and Tecra A10 (Win 7 64 bit) using the victory as the BIOS version and never had any problems in running the tool
  Anyway thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community

• Re: Satellite U400-112 - BIOS update error

  Hello

  I have a Satellite U400-112 with Windows 7-64 bit OS. I can't upgrade my system v4.00 to v4.70 since windows or DOS.

  Specifically, when the upgrade starts according to the file and then check it stucks without any progress. This error means the two versions (DOS & Windows).
  I have a strong feeling that is a corrupted bios file. If someone can justify my feeling or a good file BIOS it is asked to answer.

  Thank you in advance,

  Ioannis

  Hey Buddy,

  Update the BIOS of BACK is not possible because the updates are only based on the Windows.
  In any case, what update BIOS error that you get exactly?

  If you try to update, make sure that the value added package is installed. That s necessary for the program to update the BIOS.

  But why do you want to update? Normally it of not necessary if your system works ok.

• Satellite U400-112 - new graphics driver (Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset)

  Hello
  I found the new driver for the Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset (driver 15.11.3.1576) on the website of intel, but I can't install it because it's not original Toshiba.
  I'm doing this because we're on the website of toshiba is pilot about a year.

  Does anyone have an idea how to install the latest driver for my laptop Satellite U400-112?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Generally, you can install the drivers Toshiba not only at your own risk.
  So if something will go wrong because of drivers Toshiba not then your warranty does not cover this.
  So this was a brief info about drivers not Toshiba.

  Now how do I install the driver;
  You can do so from the Device Manager. Go to the Device Manager. Choose the graphics card and to update the driver. Then a new window should open. Then, choose the Advanced installation procedure. Then choose don't search. I will choose the driver. Then point to the new Intel driver downloaded and applied.

• Audio driver does not work on Satellite U400-112 with Vista 64-bit Buss

  Hello

  I installed Win Vista Buss. 64-bit on my Toshiba Satellite U400-112 but the original driver for the Toshiba site does not work properly, honestly does not at all. The only driver that works is a winner. Vista driver but when I plugged in her headphones just got pregnant shape, but there is no sound in headphones.

  Can someone help me, please?

  Hello!

  I have a Satellite U400 with Windows Vista 64 bit also, and I used the driver on the Toshiba site (Conexant 4.36.7.0).
  It works without problems, I can hear sounds with the speakers and headphones.

  Maybe you have an old BIOS. After the installation of Windows Vista, I made an update of the BIOS so try that too.
  The BIOS you can find also on the Toshiba site.

  Good bye

• Satellite P30: How to format the HARD drive and install a new OS?

  I have a satellite P30 laptop with Windows XP. I plug myself a new OS (namely because I can't find my old recovery CD CD and OS) that I want to do a re-shape full of my system. Reason is that my system has been painfully slower and slower over the last year. I even updated my RAM to 512 MB standard supplied with the machine to 2 GB, but it seems to have had little or no effect. So my questions are:-

  1] where can I get my hands on the restore CD that has all the drivers on this subject, and any recovery CD to reformat my HARD drive?
  [2] in the order in which I will make this reformatting?
  How can [3] after having bought an external HARD drive to keep files that I don't want to lose, I transfer those of before my re - format?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated

  :-)

  Hello

  You received with the laptop Toshiba Recovery CD! Am I wrong?
  So what s the problem?

  Simply insert the CD and try to boot from this CD.
  The restore CD contains all Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities Windows OS + additional software like Win DVD for example.
  The installation will set the laptop to factory settings, but will also format the HARD drive!

  Up to now, we come to the point 3; --> How do I save the data
  If you have purchased a second HDD and connect it to the USB port and transfer all the necessary files on the second HDD
  If you have purchased only the HARD drive, then you will need a USB HDD 2.5 case.

  Best regards
