• Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600; Cannot load Windows.

  A friend recently gave me a refurbished from this laptop model that has been updated with Windows XP Pro and it worked for about a month before a windows system file has been altered. I got a new OS disk and I replaced the file and it worked fine for another month, and when I started it today, it gave me a message saying: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "and gives me a list of options to reboot. I have not installed anything or nothing changed.

  I also tried each of the options and none work. I get a blue screen that flashes for a split second and then he returned to the screen with the restart options.

  I tried to go to the BIOS menu and setting up for her to start from the cd drive with the OS disk instead of try to reformat and I get a screen with a short message that says ' Media Test Failure. Check cable"and then returns to the screen with the with the restart options. I'm running out of ideas and anything online that I could find so far has helped. If anyone has any ideas at all, I'd like to hear them.

  I want to reformat completely this laptop if it is not too late.

  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Media Test failure. Check cable message appears because cell phone trying to boot from LAN.
  Maybe the laptop trying to boot from LAN because the HARD drive is no longer available it could be possible
  Have you checked the HARD drive in the BIOS? Please do!
  Check if the HARD disk is available in the BIOS
  If it s not appear not in the BIOS, then the disk HARD is dead and must be replaced.

  PS; You can also change the order start F12 press when the laptop starts upward. Then all the possible boot devices should appear on the screen and you can choose the CD/DVD drive as the boot source.

• Satellite Pro 4600 and WiFi configuration problem

  Got a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600, under WXP SP3. It s a P3 900 mhz with 256 RAM and it s a great laptop, but peut t seem to understand the Wi - Fi.
  It captures my router ok sky open a Wi - Fi connection, but it s the config, when I put the WEP key it says it is not compatible with WEP, WPA only s.

  I put the ssid for the router ok but it won t accept the key/passphrase in there it says s not long enough.
  Could someone point me in the direction of a guide of idiots for this configuration?
  Wi - Fi is built-in and it s a Toshiba mini PCI
  Thank you

  Hello

  For me the case sounds very clear;
  You can't put the encryption key just because the WEP key is not compatible / supported.

  I think you should use encryption that is supported by both parties; router and wireless network card

• How to remove the Satellite Pro 4600 BIOS password?

  A friend of mine recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 (PS460E-03371-EN). Unfortuately the password of the BIOS was set before the purchase and would like to know how to reset it.
  The machine will not start now.
  Any help as to the location of the BIOS battery or work around this problem will be appreciated.

  Hello

  To remove the BIOS battery will not help. BIOS by removing on laptops is more complicated than on desktop computers. BIOS by removing the procedure depends on the laptop model and it is not the same on all models of laptops.

  A lot of people get the laptop with password and to provide an accurate description how do this in the public forum is not good idea.
  Have you tried to contact the person who sold this laptop and ask BIOS password?

• Satellite Pro 4600: BSOD when I use the PCMCIA of Vodafone card

  I want to use UMTS on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600. I got a card PCMCIA of Vodafone and installed with all updates.

  But if I want to use UMTS, and that means launching the application and connect to Vodafone, Windows stops with a blue screen:
  DRIVER_IRQL_not_less_or_equal STOP 0 x 0... D1, 0 X 0... 00, 0 x 0... 02, 0 x 0... 00, 0 x 0... 00.

  I think that the assignment of IRQS is not so good: http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7151/toshibamw0.jpg

  Hello

  Have you checked if this happens with every PCMCIA card?
  I noticed that the Vodafone card causes BSOD on some portable computers with CPU P4 s and activated the hyper-threading technology.

  But there is also a problem with the firmware card Vodafone.
  An update of the firmware might help.

  Try to contact Vodafone support for new firmware and additional details

• Satellite Pro 4600 - installing the Audio driver for Win98 SE

  Hi all

  I m new here.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 abandoned and I put Win98 SE edition on it.

  The problem I have is I can download the audio driver, but when it comes for her, he asks me a yahama cd that installs, I think its 4 or 5 drivers from the cd. I currently do not have this cd so I was wondering how to get around this problem.

  Thank you for reading

  Tony

  Hello

  I found the Win 98SE driver sound for the Satellite Pro 4600 on the European driver Toshiba page.
  You have to look in the folder to ARCHIVE.

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> support download &-> download drivers

  He choose: * Archives-> Satellite Pro-> Satellite Pro 46xx-> Satellite Pro 4600-> Win 98SE *.

  In addition to information of Yamaha audio driver, you can find these details:
  + A wide range of audio controls are possible using this audio driver, including: Software Synthesizer, the microphone volume, 3D development and management Power +.

  So I think that this driver should help you!

• Satellite Pro 4600: second Ram-Bank is not active?

  "Hello,

  I think that Don t, they're broken, but is there a way to activate the second Bank? The active bank ist of black color, the inactive Bank is white in color. I tested all banks on each laptop, but it's the same on the second laptop.

  Here, someone who can help me? Thank you!

  As much as I know there is no option to turn RAM slots. If the RAM is the right of a y (compatible) shouldn't be a problem.

  I don't know that you are trying to use but is a module that is compatible with this unit:
  PA3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB
  PA3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB

• Satellite Pro 4600: beep when the headphones are connected

  Greetings to everyone.

  I feel a strange audio problem with my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 headphone output port. Whenever headphones are used, bursts of low beep occur regularly every 3 seconds or so superimposed on what playing right now. Each burst lasts about one second and consists of about 8 fast beeps. The beeps occur after Windows starts and end once the system off. I thought that it was a driver issue, but I use the latest driver for my card, downloaded from the site Web of Toshiba (package name: s5105sndx.exe).

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you for your attention.

  This problem doesn't appear if the headphone is plugged or also with the speakers if the headphones are disconnected?

  If this happens only if the headphone is connected if there is something wrong with the headphone jack.

• PC133 is suitable for Satellite Pro 4600 memory upgrade?

  Hi all

  I'm looking for an extra 256 MB memory module for my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600. The specs say one module of memory PC100 is necessary, but I was wondering if the PC133 modules would work as well. If so, are there problems with the mixture of the modules (PC100 and PC133)?

  Thank you for your attention.

  According to the information on the site of very useful memory module, it should be possible to use the PC133 144 pin SODIMM modules.

  I found this info on this site:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5778&ft=m&St=3

  In addition I don't recommend mixing the different modules. To my knowledge the lower speed module will decrease the performance of the memory. The two modules will work with the operation of the lower module.

• Satellite Pro 4600: Win2k with SP4 - cooler run all the time

  Hello

  last week, I bought a used Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 PIII, 1 GHz, 512 GB of Ram, WIFI and DVD burner. Great machine so far.

  After that I changed the FAT32 file system to NTFS and reinstalled Win2K/SP4 cooler runs all the time.

  TaskManager says that "THOT_KEY.exe" uses up 99% of the CPU power. Disabling this service reduces the power of the processor and the cooler was quite, BUT didn't really helped - lots of keys does not work.

  I ran a few utilities to disinfect as Kaspersky, NOD32 etc. to ensure that Ia´ve not taken some malware.
  Should I try a bios update or change some settings?

  Any ideas?

  Thanks for help

  Hello

  AFAIK the THOT_KEY.exe belongs to the Toshiba Hotkey utility that controls the various key functions.
  If you disable this service, you will not be able to use the FN keys more.
  I m not 100% sure why this service uses 99% of CPU performance, but perhaps that it s not completely compatible with the W2K service packs. Where did you download this utility? I found it on the page of Toshiba Europe!

  In my opinion, you should try to reinstall the system again. This is probably the key!

  Good luck
