• Shortcut keyboard Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 - properties will not end

  Dear lovers of Toshiba:

  This week, we have installed three new systems of Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 (two L300-153, a L300-156) with recovery media for Windows XP since the L300-156 product (no date on the disc, only two codes: CD 5 124624 and GMR400841EN0).

  The machines are beautiful and very effective, except for one problem: when the logout or shutdown Windows XP, the program called 'The Toshiba keyboard shortcut properties' does not stop automatically and opens a dialog "end program". The user may terminate the program immediately by clicking on the button 'End now' or wait until it to expire, after which the system disconnects or terminate normally.

  We noticed only after the installation of Service Pack 3 on all machines, so I don't know if the problem was present before SP3 has been applied. (We will be definitely check this on the following system and display the result.) Install the rest updates Windows with Service Pack 3 does not resolve the problem. Not more then that uninstall Toshiba Hotkey Utility by installing the package current, freshly downloaded from the Toshiba support area.

  A colleague suggested disabling startup programs. There are two likely choices for this purpose in the startup list + of + msconfig +: * thotkey * and * TFncKy *. Disabling either of these programs allows the disappearance of problem, but the functions of the * Fn keys are lost. The key functions are also lost when uninstalling the Toshiba Hotkey Utility.

  My question is of two parts:
  # Comment this problem be solved permanently, or circumvented (other than to say the customer never disconnect & close always the cover to hibernate)?
  # If there is no solution yet, how can a bug report situate with Toshiba, so I can get them the information they need to solve this problem and establish the responsibility?
  I will continue to post new information here that I acquire until a permanent solution is reached.

  Although this problem seems trivial and 'cosmetic' it's always awkward having to provide new machines customers with such an obvious flaw. It ourselves and Toshiba look bad, especially after that we sold the idea that people avoid problems of this kind to choose a Windows XP on Vista platform.

  Thank you, Robert Phair
  Director.

  > We noticed only after the installation of Service Pack 3 on all machines, so I don't know if the problem was present before SP3 has been applied

  Problems could be caused by Win XP SP3. I've read several times that SP3 could be not entirely compatible with drivers or 3rd tools
  So I guess there is a problem of compatibility between the exe and SP3 files.
  By the way; SP3 is not completely released and updated test!

  I installed SP3 for some tests on my old non-Toshiba laptop and my work LAN card didn't so it of really possible that SP3 causes this.

  > There are two likely choices for this in the msconfig startup list: thotkey and TFncKy. Disabling either of these programs, the disappearance of the problem, but the functions of the Fn keys are lost

  It is clear that the thotkey and TFncKy files belong to applications that control the FN keys, SO if you would disable this in msconfig then buttons would not work.

  So, a solution might be a removal of SP3 System.
  In addition, you should try to clean the registry and operating system using the free tool like CCleaner.

  > Hope to get a response from an engineer from Toshiba, if there is no monitoring of this forum.
  I hope this too, but it seems that this forum is only a user forum.
  So if you want to report this behavior for laptop, contact the Toshiba ASP in your country

• Satellite Pro L300 - CD burning problem

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro L300 laptop and I have problems with the CD's I created.

  Any software I use Nero, Toshiba etc I still get the same problem. The created disc will play on the laptop, but not in my home Hi-Fi, the reader will recognize the disk, how much tracks etc. but does not play. I use discs without brand that worked with my old desktop computer Dell & Sony DVD player.
  I can also not less than 10 x using nero burning speed,

  I use usually 4 x.
  The operating system is Windows XP.
  Anyone got any ideas?

  I put t know what CD/DVD drive you have but on the Toshiba site for some readers are firmware upgrades available. Maybe you should try this to solve the problem.

• Satellite Pro L300 BIOS update problem

• Satellite Pro L300-128 - startup problem

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro L300-128 GB specification, that has a Celeron M550 running Windows XP and a construction date of the end of June 2008. I have a problem with the switching on of the machine if it has been turned off for a long period of time.

  Basically, if the AC cable is inserted into the computer laptop and plugged in, the green light turns on, but pressing the button it does nothing. By the process of elimination, I have found that, after a short period of time (say 15-30 minutes) if (and only if) the AC cable is then removed from the laptop, it lights up then!

  Plug the AC cable, while the laptop is on, do not cut the machine and charge the battery as usual. The battery life seems very good, if a little short (say 1.5 - 1.75 hours when used "constantly").

  If the computer is restarted, it lights again very well - if it is turned off and left for a few minutes, once again no problem. But, if she is not with the battery fully charged and left all night - it lights again in the morning.

  Now, as a new machine, I'm wondering if the battery needs a long initial load (such as a mobile phone)? Nothing is said about it in the manual. I have not yet checked if the battery down completely himself during the night. I haven't run the battery to the laptop for a long time (say all day) to 'trickle charge '. I don't know if the period from 15 to 30 minutes to get the thing started is once again because the battery is completely discharged during the night (I need to check the BIOS to see if "Wake up we LAN/wireless" is activated)-anyone know how long a fully discharged battery must be charged before that the machine will let you start it?

  Under the machine, there are two battery release buttons and it seems loose - I don't know if it's related, but can't see how. Moreover, when the question arose (during the first delivery the laptop), I removed the battery and tried power upwards of food, but nothing to do.

  I ran all the software updates (chipset etc) I can find on the download page, the BIOS version is 1.40 (last) of the factory.

  Any suggestions would be welcome before I have use the service of repair under warranty for the first time! I don't know if it is related to the fact that the power button seems to be a micro switch rather than a good button/switch in the conventional sense of the term, i.e. you can 'feel' it do something!

  Thank you very much
  Richard

  Hello

  If you have purchased a new laptop, the battery is empty and needs to be charged in the first place.
  You can also connect the adapter to the laptop while the battery is empty and the laptop should also lights up properly.
  The laptop must also run without the battery and using only the AC adapter.

  It should also be possible to put the laptop by pressing the power button for about a second, if this is not possible, a malfunction of the laptop could be possible.

  In such cases, it s always advisable to contact the local ASP for a verification of the laptop.

  I mean your laptop is under warranty and if something is not wrong with the machine so everything must be replaced free of charge

  In my opinion, the laptop must be checked!

• Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100; battery (probably) problem

  About a year ago and a half year I bought the Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100. Every thing worked perfect up what a month ago, and then my adapter not workt more. With a multimeter I discovered it was broken, so I bought a new (from you guys)

  But 2 weeks later a new was also broken. Then I used my father's map (it has the same specifications) which merged in 1 week.

  What is going on? Where is the problem. I think it's my battery.

  Hello

  It seems that your adapter is damaged by the oscillation of voltage.

  I can't image the laptop that has the same voltage as the AC damaged HQ with a swing of voltage!

  IF you wish, you can contact a Toshiba Service partner. They can check the power supply, I have the laptop and HQ.

• Satellite Pro L450 - 16 M - problem with WIFI and Webcam

  Hey guys

  At first, I'm sorry for my bad English. Last time I heard about 20 years ago at school.
  Here's my problem:
  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L450 - 16M. My OS is Windows7 32 Bit und my router is called Easybox 602.
  Whenever I use my Chicony USB 2.0 Webcamin Skype or other Onlineapplications my Wlan is turned off.

  I can't turn off and turn on before I restarted my computer. I think I downloaded the latest driver
  from this page. I also fixed my system with the recovery CD. Please help me!

  Welcome them
  Sascha

  Hello

  So with other words webcam and WIFI are not usable more right?
  You wrote that you did an installation of recovery using Toshiba Recovery disk: all devices recognized and listed correctly in the Device Manager? Please check this box.

  Generally the wireless network card can also be enabled by using the FN + F8 key combination.

  If webcam doesn t work I would like to reinstall latest driver of the webcam of the official website of Toshiba.

• Satellite Pro L500: Dynadock U - problem with graphics card driver

  Hello.

  I have a TOSHIBA Satellite Pro L500 PSLSAA-00K00U running Windows 7.

  I just installed a Toshiba Dynadock u after I restarted and connected, I recevive the error:

  Warning

  The Catalyst Control Center is not supported by the version of the driver for your compatible graphics card.
  If it please your ATI graphics updated driver, or enable your ATI card using the display manager.

  I downloaded the latest display drivers ATI on Toshiba website for this model of laptop, but the dirver installer said that the latest drivers are already installed.

  Is there something I need to do to prevent this recurring error?

  Thank you

  Hi mate

  I think you need to reinstall or update the Dynadock U Software.
  Visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and searching:
  Options-> connectivity-> Dokcs & ports-> Dynadock U10 replicators

  Then you will get Dynadock Utility for different OS. The latest version of the software is v2.1.4.7.

• Satellite Pro A120: I have problems with the installation of the graphics driver for W2k

  I installed windows 2000 on an A120, the system is fully packed and service updated before I even start to install the necessary drivers, I am unable to restart the system. I once, install as recommended drivers that I have problems with the graphics driver because it will not be installed because it requires a reboot and then I can't install new programs that require a restart that the driver has not been installed correctly.

  The laptop is a Pro A120, age of 1 week and came with XP home, because of this toshiba will not offer me support I changed the o/s even though they obviously support 2000 on this laptop, because they provide the drivers.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Did you use and install the drivers from the Toshiba driver page right?
  The drivers of Toshiba W2k for Satellite Pro A120 have been published and are ready!

  But please pay attention to the Toshiba drivers.
  There are two different sets of Satellite Pro A120, with different drivers W2k!
  After choosing the good laptop and download the drivers please follow the proper installation order that is indicated in the document "installation instructions"! Check it!

  I think that if you follow this guide line everything works and runs correctly. Good luck

• Satellite Pro P100 - Synaptics touchpad problem with Win 7

  Satellite Pro P100 with Synaptics Touchpad, was now running Vista, Win 7 64 bit.
  The original driver had an option "disable when the external pointing device connected.

  I installed a Synaptics Synaptics_v14_0_3_C_XP64_Vista64_Win7 driver - 64_Signed_default.exe that does not have this check box.

  It works fine except that sometimes the Microsoft Mouse becomes works all the seconds that she or the touchpad to fight everyone. I have to disable the touchpad.
  So the next time I turn. If I do so without a mouse, I can't use the touchpad until I plug the mouse, turn it back on, then disconnect the mouse.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Try to install the Synaptics drivers and Alps touchpad page pilot European Toshiba.
  Choose the touchpad Win 7 drivers out for a satellite L500 series.

  By the way; the touchpad can be enabled and disabled by using the FN + F9 button combination. It is not necessary to have all the options if FN + F9 works very well.

• Satellite Pro U400 - Web cam driver probem

  Hello

  Recently I bought the laptop Satellite Pro U400 series. Currently I am faced with a real problem with the webcam integrated. When I start my laptop, first it works and then after some time when trying to close and reopen it gives either of the below error messages
  "graphics make it fail."
  'driver open webcam fail, restart '.

  I try reinstalling the webcam Assistant software, but the problem still persists.

  A facing this kind of problem and if you know a solution, please tell me.

  Concerning
  Jesu

  The error message is known to me
  I think reinstalling webcam software and Vista update should contribute to this issue.

  So how to proceed;
  First remove the old webcam software.
  Then clean the operating system using the CCLeaner
  Then update the Vista of the State (you must restart the operating system several times)
  Then, download the new webcam software, unzip it and reinstall it.
  Restart the computer and check if the same error would reappear.

• Satellite Pro L670 - 14 p - problem with 8 GB of RAM

  Hi all

  Recently, I bought 8 GB of ram for my toshiba.

  its 2 into 4 gb sticks, "integral" IN3V4GNYBGI, DDR3 1066 mhz SODIMM.

  BIOS is seeing all this ram properly, but after the opportunity to get into the bios, the laptop is freezing.

  I have black screen then and '_' cursor flashing at the top left.

  I tried to change the positions of ram, but it did not help.
  I also tried with my old sticks and thought that it starts with 2 GB old stick in main location, but it does not start with the 4 GB stick in the main location.

  I have updated the bios of 02.2011, both sticks have been verified with memtest and they seem well.

  any1 have any ideas how to turn on the 2 x 4 GB sticks?

  Thanks for all answers

  Greetings
  Slav

  In my opinion, the problem is related to the problems of comatibilty between the RAM modules and the laptop.
  You should test the other modules from different manufacturers
  The Kingston modules should work fine, I upgraded two of my books with Kingston modules and it worked perfectly

  I also read here in the forum that some users had problems with the RAM upgrade and after switching to Kingston problems went

  Hello world
  I installed Windows 7 on my Satellite Pro A200-1 s 1, recovered all the drivers on the Toshiba site, everything works fine (less than the webcam that doesn't work even with the previous s.o.

• Satellite A200-1d(a): various problems with Windows Vista Mail

  Model: Satellite A200-1d(a)
  O/s: Windows Vista editions Home Premium more
  Background: Recommended for a parent, now transformed into 'support harassment ".

  The behavior of Windows Mail is displayed is non-standard and unreliable, for example:

  Creating new folders local they are initially displayed in the list of folders (left sidebar), if the mail is restarted they disappear and reappear only if they are selected after clicking on "local folders". Other than the Inbox, local folders and the Microsoft? (used for notes, etc.), all the other default folders are missing, either sent, sent, drafts box, etc.

  Another minor issue is that windows mail does not seem to recognize when the status of the internet connection changes from unavailable to available, in order to empty the Outbox and send emails, it is necessary to restart windows Messaging.

  A number of occasions, all messages disappear from your Inbox and all other folders are not available, the only solution to this problem seems to be a reboot of the laptop.

  This link seems to suggest that there is a problem with the security software which is now Norton Internet Security (configured and bundled with the laptop):
  http://forums.techguy.org/all-other-software/551829-Windows-Mail-doesn ' t-display - messages.html

  Next step is to apply:

  Hello

  I can't provide an exactly the solution to this problem of Vista Mail but to me, it looks like a Microsoft Vista operating system problem and not Toshiba Satellite.
  I don t think there could be a problem with the hardware that's why we should look for solutions.

  Now you will ask where a software solution? In my opinion, you should check the knowledge base Microsoft for some useful tips.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/search/
  and the solution center in Windows Vista
  http://support.Microsoft.com/windowsvista

  But first make sure that your Vista operating system is up-to-date and you have already installed all the updates and patches!
