• Tecra M11 - 17z - Question about upgrade to Win7 32 bit to 64 bit

  I have a Tecra M11 - 17z with the pre-installed OS 32 - bit Windows 7 Professional.
  I want to change the 64-bit operating system.

  For this I have to do a 'clean' custom install the 64-bit system.
  As this is a new laptop and the software bundle that came with the laptop can be downloaded I don't mind to do this.

  Do I have to buy a new Windows 7 Professional to clean install 64-bit?
  Where is the best place to go for the software needed?

  Ideas and help very appreciated.

  > Should I buy a new Windows 7 Professional to clean install 64-bit?
  I guess the image pre-installed on this laptop contains just 32boit version of Win 7.
  So yes, you need to buy a Win 7 64 bit Microsoft Disk in order to install the 64-bit version.

  > Where is the best place to go for the software needed?
  You can purchase Win 7 64 bit across most of the stores online like Amazon is a hotel and I think it would be the easiest and fastest way to get to this

• Tecra M11 - random crashes with Windows 7

  We had a Toshiba Tecra M11 Windows 7 who has a problem in which he randomly falls down, forcing the user to hard it reboot. When it crashes, the fans to the top spin, don't know if that means anything. We tried many things to fix.

  At first, we thought it might be overheating, which would explain the fan, but the laptop has been through a 24-hour stress test absolutely perfect with normal temperatures. The laptop is not necesarrily do something stressful when it fails we also tried reinstalling some of the key drivers and also intalled the BIOS more recent (2.60), but still the same problem.

  It breaks down up to 2 times per day, but can also go a few days without crashing. It's a very strange problem and we would highly appreciate a fix for it.

  Thank you

  George

  Hello

  Maybe it s RAM related question RAM memory may be affected and would force the OS crashing
  I put t know if that would be helpful, but try to test the memory, run the memtest86 utility
  But note; These controls are not always successful means that even the memory is faulty, the error may not be detected by these software

  Have you tried to reinstall the OS?
  This should be done as well.

• Tecra M11 - BIOS password recovery

  Hello
  I have Toshiba Tecra model:
  Toshiba Tecra M11 - 15W
  Framework/model n °: PTME0E-03J02SEP

  Problem is that I did not use this laptop for quite awhile and I forgot I put a Bios password. Now I need to re - install windows (corrupt), but I can't get my notebook to boot from USB or DVD. To access this menu, I need my Bios password.
  Is there a way I can flash or reset or something like that? I've tried everything, I even wanted to get inside my laptop to find the Bios battery and remove it, but I'm afraid I'm going to break something...
  I can remove the HARD drive and install windows on another PC and continue the installation on the laptop, but I still need this password reset...
  Thanks in advance!

  A few days ago someone asked the same question on this forum. Almanna probably know passeord BIOS is very important security feature and it can be retrieved or cancelled by an authorized personnel only. With other words as close to Toshiba service provider can do for you.

• Tecra M11-h-13 Diode GPU overheating

  This probably have no effect as each time that I called Toshiba tech support.
  But I'll try anyway.
  I bought a Toshiba M11-h-13 August since so I need him sent for warranty twice, the first time it was the same problem that has been described in the topic:
  Toshiba Tecra M11 - random crashes with Windows 7
  The motherboard has been replaced.
  A week later, the second problem started. I started to hear the fan sniping faster, but air, it wasn't hot. I run Toshiba health monitor and saw that the internal system temperature and fan speed is always higher than 80%, then I installed Everest which shows me the temperatures of some components, one of them it is strangely warm, Diode GPU, without any program that runs the temperature is above 80 ° c/90 ° c, and the processor and HD was 50 ° c and 35 ° c (approximately).

  After that, I left my pc in security again, and once more, the motherboard has been replaced.

  Again, more or less a week later, the same old problem appeared again, in support of Toshiba, they gave no attention to my problem, they only told to leave my tecra still in warranty, but this time, I can´t be without him, I'm in College, I have a good number of works to show in classes and at home , the examinations to study and I have not the time to leave as security again with the same problem.

  I bought a Tecra because he assumes a laptop no problem, but I was wrong.

  I beg you (Toshiba), to give me a solution to my problem, I think it is unacceptable.

  When I work, sometimes with programs that was not supposed to use image as matlab when it's calculus, the GPU diode reaches 125 ° c more then, and when I'm in class and I need to have a job to give my teacher on the end off the class I stop can´t or my notes will be '0' in which works.

  The rest of the temperatures remain much below that level, as the processor at 75 ° c and HD 30 ºC.

  I don't know just what to do more, I have restart my laptop, it is updated bios.

  Solution please...

  Best regards

  A few questions:

  (1) are the vents breathe easily? The system may overheat if the vents are blocked.

  (2) have you tried to remove any dust or dirt build up? Try spraying Compressed Air from the vent.

  (3) are to you using the display standard driver from Toshiba Web site? Install the other drivers can cause this kind of problem.

  Hello

  According to tender specifications that your Tecra has been delivered with preinstalled WIN7 64 bit PROFESSIONAL and you have DVD extra WXP. Original recovery Win7 image was recorded on the HARD drive and use preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator you have had the opportunity to backup recovery image and create the installation of bootable recovery disk.
  How it works is described in the document s user manuals.

  I put t know if you created this disk but now after installing Windows XP Home edition, you need the recovery disc. Of course, if you want to have the factory settings, you need this record. Otherwise, you can obtain the Microsoft installation disc and install Win7. Download page for all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from Toshiba.

  I hope you understand the situation, but if you have any other questions do not hesitate.

• Tecra M11 - 17V - identify the serial port on the docking station

  I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra M11 - 17V, which I often use with the docking station that accompanies it.
  There is a DB9 serial port at the back of the docking station, but I don't know what COM Port.

  I use Windows 7.

  In the device, COM9 Manager - COM22 are identified as Port BT (bluetooth). Com7 - COM8 are RIM Virtual Serial Port v2, COM17 is Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port and COM18 is USB-Serial CH340.

  I thought that COM17 or COM18 were the most likely candidates, but have not been able to get to answer using one of them.

  I connect a Psion 5 (Comms app) to him and have developed ports and the Psion 8bits, 19200 baud, no parity, 1 stop bit.

  Hello

  > There is a serial port DB9 on the back of the docking station, but I don't know what COM Port, it is

  I think you have misunderstood something wrong
  COM ports in Device Manager are virtual com ports
  There is no link between a serial port and a virtual com port.

  I have a question: what docking station you have exactly?

  I had an express port replicator and this device required an additional serial port driver installation.

  I want to Bay upgrade of Windows 8 pre-control for Windows 7 or XP computers and install it on my Tecra M11 - 13 X model. I was wondering if it will work properly - of course, I think especially on drivers?

• Tecra S5-10 X questions

  Hello

  A few months ago, I bought TECRA S5-10 X.
  My first step was lucky OS from Vista to XP (does not work for me and for my hardware and special software).

  Now installed XP system works very well, but have few questions! (All the necessary drivers are installed, ofcourse toshiba support page form).

  1. I get audio jumps and read errors, no mather what player I use or the driver I install (it happens in XP and Vista)
  2. I have also blue screen error. something about tcpip.sys.
  3. I have a device in the Panel that is not installed and there is no driver for it. 'S called it 'PCI-controller of memory'. Maybe this controller to address the first two issues, but I don't know if or lack of driver...

  Thanks for any help...
  Dean

  With regard to the point:

  (1) made the sound jumps happens while that crisscross the audio files of HARD to start from the CD drive? Should check it out!

  (2) the tcpip.sys is a process of TCP/IP protocol driver and the BSOD could be due to the old driver LAN or a 3rd party software.
  You have installed the 3rd party software? I recommend the LAN driver, XP update and install all the patches from MS site!

  (3) the PCI memory controller is Intel Turbo Memory, also called logic chip cache Flash Intel. It s a new technology to support the new Vista cache feature. There is no driver for it for Windows XP because XP doesn t supports the cache feature, it is supported by Vista

• Tecra M11-103 - mini displayport doesn't seem to work

  I posted a question, but it was published, and I think that I misunderstood.
  So I'll try to ask better now...

  I own a Tecra M11-103 it has both a vga port/bus (I'm not sure what to call it) and a mini displayport.
  Everything worked fine until, in the middle of watching TV (laptop was connected to the TV via hdmi adapter mini displayport has) something was wrong, and since then the port is not identified... the vga port works fine but the mini displayport simply ceased to recognize each time a cable is plugged...

  How can I reinstall the port itself?
  I tried to reinstall the display driver, but it did not help, I thought maybe reinstalling the chipset utility, but I don't know what this means and what is the danger...

  If my question is still not clear please help me go the more accurate information...
  Thank you

• Saving settings Tecra M11 - fan almost always on

  Hello

  I have a Tecra M11 (Windows7 64-bit). Toshiba Power Saver Settings V8.9.3.64 are installed.

  My problem is: fan is almost always turned on with maximum speed, in which case there is no load on the CPU (only 1 to 5%). It's really loud and annoying!

  What I've done so far: I changed the method of cooling to the "battery optimized" to two changes of power, but without effect.

  Question:
  (1) are there any available desktop mode (as many other manufacturers of laptops offers for professional laptops) to work in a quiet environment?
  (2) is there an option to uninstall the Toshiba Power Saver Settings and use the standard cooling Windows7, because Windows 7 has generally a passive cooling option with the effect that the fan is off.

  Thank you very much!
  Frank

  I m really wondering what cooling settings method didn't help. I have Tecra A11 with Win7 64 bit and my laptop is absolutely silent. Changes to these settings on several other portable Toshiba the result was the same. Laptop has been much quieter.

  Which power plan do you use?
  Have you noticed a difference when you switch to the Toshiba eco mode?

  Answers:
  # All I know this mode is not available on Toshiba laptops.
  # You can remove Toshiba power saver, but it's a little complicated. You must remove any additional package from Toshiba. Later, you must install VAP again but not as standard but custom mode and remove check mark in front of the applications, you don t want to install.

• Tecra M11-LaTeX runs slow on external monitor using Express Port Replicator

  Hi all

  I am having trouble with my Tecra M11 with an external monitor, through an Express Port Replicator II.

  It is very accurate, but I am running texlive 2010 on my laptop to write a thesis. Whenever I use my laptop screen feature is very good, and it works very fast, no lag when I compile my document. As soon as docking it into my docking station at work to use it on a big screen, whenever I use the same program, it slows down a lot, finally causing the crash program. Its frustrating to lose a lot of your thesis like this! When I connect the external monitor directly to the laptop, it works fine again.

  Something goes wrong in the docking station. Anyone know how I can fix this? Im a little confused and ideas. Maybe I pilot or something im unaware of. My docking station is maybe defective?

  Thank you

  Jake

  Port replicator port on which do you use? VGA or DVI?

  It won't be easy to provide the answer to your question. It is not possible to test all the software available with docking station and research solutions.
  I would say: bad luck.
