• Vista has started to run much more slowly recently

  Original title: Vista began to run more slowly recently

  In addition to the advice of Ken, try a clean boot and see if the problem persists.  If it does not add then points back until you can identify the problem.  Also, check the startup folder for programs that do not need to run until needed.  Looks like it's a program, service or process that tries to perform a task, but fails to complete.

  A clean boot is a very effective method of diagnosis.

• I got a phone call from 'windows', saying that something was wrong with my computer. SCAM? The next time I uped PC there is something bad--much more slowly, etc..

  About a week or two ago, I received a call from someone who said it was the appeal of WINDOWS.  My PCwas work perfect, but I was told there were problems.

  I did not understand what problems he spoke and asked him if he had the right number.  He did not ask my number when I said that if I

  told him to send me a letterexplaining the problem, if something is wrong. Then, I clung to the top.  Is that what you received no other complaints like that?  The

  next time I used the PC, something is indeed wrong - it is very slow now.  I guess that Microsoft would call, not "windows".  In fact

  I do not believe that Microsoft would call either.  Is that what sounds like someone hacked into my PC or what? Thanks for any help.

  It was a scam and your hang up was wise. If you gave him no

• First Pro CS5 never uses more than 15% of CPU, so perform much more slowly than first 6.5!

  Hello.

  I make videos of marriage for a while. My material included map DV500DVD and first 6.5 CPU Core 2 Duo E8400, 2 GB of RAM, Windows XP SP1 (DV500 does not work with SP2 or SP3).

  The above system is quite old and absolutely not usable for HD videos. So, I decided to build another machine. The configuration is the following:

  OS: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

  M/b: Asus LGA 1155, H67 chipset.

  CPU: Intel Core i7 - 2600K

  RAM: 4 GB DDR3

  HARD drive: 2 x 64 GB SSD, 2 TB SATA (RAID) 4 x (all drives connected to separate the controller PCI-E chipset fault intel isn't a problem here)

  I recently downloaded and installed the first Pro CS5 trial version, to see how he adapts to my needs. And I'm very disappointed. I started the first, chosen preset widescreen DV, inserted two static images on the timeline and made a mix alpha between them. Then put movie export. Not only it took too long to make, but it only used a nucleus, and the CPU usage is only 15%. Just out of curiosity, I installed first 6.5 on the same system, and he did this task about 10 times faster!

  That is, limitation of the trial version, or just first Pro CS5 cannot be used with this modern processor?

  Thanks in advance,

  Alex

  I can understand your experience... After I installed Windows 7 and CS5 Production Premium, adding another 8 Gig of Ram for my PC, dying on the fact that my Nvidia Quadro FX 4600 is not able to use the reading mercury and literally hours of waiting for spending returns, on a hunch, and after reading about someone else who did the same thing.  Finally, I took my old PP CS3 and installed on alongside first CS5. To my surprise, with 64-bit OS, CS3 running and makes exactly the same content about 4 times faster, does not idiosyncratic seizures slow when moving clips in the timeline, no white on the error screen "not responding" messages, etc.etc. I have no problem with After Effects or Photoshop CS5, they work fine, but first CS5 is close not functional as it gets. A: 30 minutes with some effects of magic bullet, even native capture HDV format takes about 10 minutes with PPCS3... and about 45 minutes with CS5. CS3 also reads smoother and barely stutters, so that I have to sit and to return with CS5 because of choking in order to continue working. One post suggested that I don't have enough gas in the machine, dual core AMD Opterons 3.2 GHZ, disks, 16 Gig ram working 7200 and 10 000 rpm... but cannot see how CS5 can maybe make CS3 on the same stage. What I'm missing here? I'm not whining just baffled.

• Satellite U400-14 b turns off and now it won't start

  Hello

  just got a new Satellite U400 this week.
  Worked perfectly the first days, and then last night, it just turns off and now it won't start.

  I press the button and the row of lights beside him light up, but nothing happens that I n t even get as much as the Toshiba screen.
  I tried a lot of things. I left it plugged in all night, tried to take the battery and any results now.

  Little led lights on the bottom indicates that it is his stuffy, battery is white not orange when you press they light up only for a fraction of a second.

  The only thing I can compare it is too when a car won t start and you keep turning and turning the key, well in that case, pushing a button, and nothing happens, fans don t whir or anything...

  help please...

• Satellite U400-131 crashed while the screen of the BIOS udpate - now black

  Bios Update crashed my laptop Satellite U400-131, now I got the black screen and don't know what to do?

  Someone knows how to fix this?

  Thank you

  Vries Matthijs

  This bad s Companion
  It was the worst case that could appear wile BIOS update.

  There is not a lot of things you could try
  In your case the ASP must be contacted in order to check the machine and the module ROM where the BIOS is stored

  If you're lucky, while the ROM module must be flashed again and the laptop should start again if the worst cases the motherboard must be replaced.

• The Sound Recorder with W7 now seems much more rudimentary than the old version, and I can't find any way to insert messages into My Documents.

  My O.S. is W.7. 32-bit.

  Before, I recently upgraded to XP and using MS Word 2007, I have a (short) Sound Clip of pre-registration<60 secs. )="" and="" then="" insert="" it="" into="" my="">

  A small icon that looks like a speaker appeared on the Document and that the beneficiary would have left click on it to hear the recording. The Sound Recorder with W7 now seems much more rudimentary than the old version, and I can't find any way to insert messages into My Documents.

  Is this even possible or has Microsoft taken a step backward here?

  I'd appreciate some help here. Thanks in advance. Mech-Tech.

  Original title: Sound Recorder

  If I've understood your problem, try this. Create a shortcut to "soundrecorder /file outputfilename.wav" (without the quotes).

  Then start soundrecorder via this shortcut and start and stop the recording, it will save so (hopefully) as a wav as before.

  I think the problem is, W7 soundrecorder, by default, saves to wma.

  If not, try a 3rd free part program such as Audacity (which seems like overkill, but should do the job).

  I hope this will help.

• Portege M800 is now Satellite U400

  After replacement card mother everest for windows reports my M800 as a Satellite U400. Can I change this? or I go home my laptop for Service.
  Thank you

  I think that the DMI information must be updated. The service center should do this when the motherboard has been replaced, so take it back to them and ask them to update.

• Satellite M60: printed image is much more yellow than the image on the screen

  I use a printer Hewlett - Packard PSC 750 with my Toshiba M60. Problem is when I print a picture, it is much more yellow than what is on the screen of what is printed. The problem is not moved with my old Packard Bell.

  Someone at - it a solution?

  Hello

  I agree with Stefan and I can't imagine that this is not because of the laptop. You should check all the print settings.

• Satellite U400-135 overheating

  Hello

  A few weeks back I bought the new Toshiba Satellite U400-138 and now I feel it is a lower design due to numerous complains that I found one here in the forum support or by people who have tried to deal with this series.

  Fist of all the overheating problem becomes not affordable as I'm about to lose my fingers due to the extreme heat comes from the lower level of touch pad! In addition it usually takes more than 7 minutes to get the login screen of windows while beginning to the top of the window and when you access the window continues to display the CPU usage almost 100% long just by clicking the internet explorer, so I can't do anything except wait (it's killing slow) and when I compare with my old P4 desktop , according to me, how I was wrong when I decided to go to the U-400!

  Today I've decided to take the laptop to the Toshiba dealer and when I was there, I tried to touch the lower part of the availbel for similar in the showroom model and it was very hot and when I asked the sales man there he informed me that there are many customers reported the same complain so I referred me to their service center for inspection and I'm so annoying now because my new laptop will be served after only two weeks and I think that this model is a design of lower quality and the only way to get rid of this problem to get the same replaced by something else?

  your valuable comments is highly apprciated.

  Salvation will be

  I have a U400 too. It s a U400 which belongs to the series of PSU40E.
  I use two BONES; Vista and XP.

  Initially the Vista started slowly, it was not too slow but slower than Win XP.

  I studied a bit and found a solution;
  First of all, I discovered that many background processes and apps have loaded early in the boot process in MSCONFIG, you can find these applications.

  I disabled some unnecessary programs (for me) and the notebook starts up much faster.

  Moreover, I noticed that Tempro update tool helped me a lot.

  So please check these two proposals.
  I don't know that it could help you...

  Regarding the temperature more high touchpad;
  Well, my touchpad is also hotter than the rest of the cover of the laptop but is nothing unusual because cooling modules are placed under the touchpad and the left side is warmer due to the dissipation of the heat of this side of the laptop

  If you shouldn't be worried; It is not unusual

  Bye & have a nice day

• Satellite U400 will not usually start upward

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-217 (PSU44E) running Windows 8.

  Worked fine until a week ago. Now, when I turn it on, the lights are, there is a memory hard drive spin (1 second) - and then nothing. Above the keyboard lights stay on, but the screen remains black.

  I read a use Reset where you take the battery and the power cable on and press and hold power for 30 seconds, then plug the power cable in, starting at the top, stop, reinsert the battery and start again.

  However, the machine still primer not after 30 seconds the hold button. I always get just the lights and nothing else.

  However, the machine will start usually fine on an attempt to out all 30 or more.

  It's boring - ideas or suggestions very welcome.

  Thank you very much

  KaiBosh

  > However, the machine will start usually fine on an attempt to out every 30 or more.

  In my opinion, you should first check the HARD drive
  A friend of mine installed Win 8 on the new computer laptop from another manufacturer
  After a while that the laptop will not start I thought its something wrong with the card mother, but in the end it was just a HARD drive failure

  To be honest I n don't know if his only problem disk HARD but in my opinion, the HARD drive is one of the first pieces that need to be checked
  OK, in the worst case, it could be possible that dysfunction of this mobo.

• Satellite U400-15B hangs on the Internet and make multimedia keys touch

  Hi all

  Had two problems with my U400-15B which I hope to solve.

  (1) the first problem is that I noticed that my internet sometimes seems to weigh on Internet Explorer, when using the Web site who have a couple of images e.t.c.
  It freezes but the rest of the laptop works very well - I want to say you can go to the start menu and other programs very well. However, if you open Microsoft Word, while this is the case, it will take a little more time to load than normal upward. Anyone know what this might be or how I can fix this problem?

  I use Vista Home Premium 32-bit and the laptop has 4 GB of RAM / thus, Intel Centrino 2 P7350 - is powerful enough.

  (2) the second problem is that when I press the 'sound' button, the white lights and the white bar above the touchpad become informed. When I press on it again once the lights come back but he is not mute. Only when the laptop is put in standby mode and then woke up once again, the key work properly. All the others work fine. Does anyone know what is the cause?

  I exchanged this laptop 3 times now and each of them did question (2), but surely this isn't normal.

  Any help or advice to address these problems are very much appreciated.

  Thank you

  (1) have you tested a different internet browser? For example, Firefox.
  I use Firefox for years and never had any problems with it. I like Firefox over Internet Explorer, it s faster and you will get a lot of modules useful for her ScrapBook.

  (2) have tried to update the BIOS? Look on the Toshiba site to find a newer version:

  I have a Satellite U400 too and it works without problems.

• Have 4 GB of RAM on Satellite U400 but says OS only have 2 GB

  Have recently downgraded notebook Toshiba Satellite U400 (model PSU44A-00J00C) of original Windows Vista business to Windows XP Pro (pack 3 update service) assistance of the system recovery discs. Have 4 GB of RAM installed on the laptop with 32-bit system and was reading that this amount with Windows Vista, but now the figure has decreased!

  I got the digits in the information system:

  Total physical memory: 4 GB
  Available physical memory: 2 GB
  Total virtual memory: 2Gb
  Available virtual memory: 1.96 GB

  My available physical memory should not read at least 3 GB? BIOS is reading at 4 GB. Have updated the bios and chipset without change.

  Want to tighten a little more memory to the computer, since I installed it - is the best I can get 2 GB?

  Thanks for your interest, look forward to your response.

• Satellite U400 - big noise from cooling modules

  Hello

  bought a few months ago Toshiba Satellite U400 and everything was perfect, and I bought it just because I don't like the sounds.
  When I surf the net I love that he's quite, but these last 5 days he began to ring.

  Toshiba U400 works and it should be for many 'Air' on the side and its just all the time, even if I open IE or MSN or anything like that either, and before she just made some time, but now he often does.

  Please help me because it's very embarrassing and it sounds too, and I don't like it, why this departure to East happened now and not before? and what I can do about it?

  thnx.

  Hello

  What you can do?
  Well, first you must make sure your modules cooling holes are free of dust.
  I recommend to use the jet of compressed air to remove dust of grids and cooling fans.
  In most cases the dust prevents the flow of air that causes a higher temperature and therefore the propellers would turn faster.

  Secondly, you can change the settings to more battery as energy saver.
  If you are using Win XP, then you should check the Toshiba Power Saver.
  Here, you can assign the CPU, the speed of treatment and performance at a lower level of cooling

• Command buttons and lights not working not properly - Satellite U400

  I am currently facing a problem with my Satellite U400, which runs under Windows Vista / Bios v3.00.
  First, the control buttons no longer work, as when I press on them, nothing more. It was that when you press on, the LED lights for a while and then come back to life.

  Now, LEDS are constantly lit. Even when the laptop is turned off and the cable is removed.

  So far, I tried to turn on and turn off the LED option in the Bios (that is turned on and off the LED on the touchpad and the logo of Satellite, but not on the control buttons). I uninstalled and reinstalled the Value Pack from recovery CD - no change. I deleted and reinstalled the Windows called devices: ACPI fixed feature button (thought this might help).

  Is there anything else I could do?

  Once the problem is resolved, I wonder if the command buttons can be customized. For some reason I do not seem to find the appropriate program to set those.

  Thanks for any input.

  Hello

  Someone suggested this work around:
  You must install the utility to control on the one hand, and where to install the value Pack, choose Advanced Options and uncheck the Support Button TOSHIBA.
