Two problems with Vista on Satellite A20-S207

Hello. I installed Vista on my A20-S207. So far so good except:

(1) stop is veeeeery slow sleep and Hibernate seems to freeze the computer (output only is to disable manually)

(2) video playback (any type) is extremelly slow. I couldn't find the Vista drivers for the video card (Trident CyberAladdin), so I use the old XP drivers.

Anyone know how to solve these problems? Thank you!

Hello

As much I know Satellite A20 is aged about 4 years and absolutely not Vista capable. Because of this, you should be glad that you were able to install Vista on this laptop. I am very pleased to learn that you can use Vista.

Please do not write on the problems. The problems described are not problems, but the result of old and not powerful enough hardware. All that s!

  • PCMCIA.sys problem with Vista on Satellite M40 135

    Hello

    (Sorry for my English)
    I tried to install Windows Vista on my Satellite M40-135. (I added the 512 MB of RAM).

    But, like all users, I have the problem with pcmcia.sys. Vista starts successfully when I delete the pcmcia.sys file.
    But I have a problem: I have a PCMCIA TV and I could not use it without the pcmcia.sys file...

    So I was wondering if Toshiba will download the new drivers for Windows Vista... This laptop is 'Vista capable' according to Microsoft System requirements...

    Waiting for your help...

    Unfortunately, it seems that the snipe is right.
    Can the hardware specifications of this laptop allows you to install the Vista
    but it seems that Toshiba has decided to publish no Vista drivers for each series laptop.

  • Stuttering problem with Vista on Satellite P100-347 pspA6E games

    I lived several forums and tried many solutions, bios downgrade (up to v2.4), different drivers, using the riva to detect as a gt gfx card, but whatever it is I always make the problem of stuttering in vista. I've recently updated the bios to v4, which makes absolutely no difference.

    I tried to run the games with the smallest possible settings, but it's the same when I throw them to the highest. Most of the games ran on xp with the downgraded bios, but I paid extra for vista and im im going to use it. My model is a pspA6E, 7900gs 512 MB, 2 GB ram, 200 GB hard drive, running on vista (with patches).

    Can anyone help.
    I spent a lot of money on a laptop that does not produce as it should! My gpu overheating also all the time.
    Y at - it something can be done or im reinstall xp?

    Hi gazzoondi! I know that accactly what you mean. I did everything that crossed my mind too, to solve the problem, but without any result. Dosen´t seams Thosiba care custumors here and let their responsibilities to us.

    I tried to contact Nvidia also on a snap with no result... So I guess we're stuck with this...

    If it's a Direct X driver look or a conflict with the sound and graphic driver I know Don t. But if I uninstall parts of theatre and its pilot games that I still have the same problem. My guess is therefore a pure graphic driver problem.

  • Two problems with my laptop Satellite Pro

    Hello

    First of all, my DVD drive refuses to read DVD - he spits just them out after a while.

    Second, my internet connection is de-energized regularly - only goes 'local'. I have to unplug the connection and then reconnect to make it work.

    Hello

    It will be interesting to know what model of laptop you have.

    Anyway, after reading this description of problem a single sentence, it is not easy to tell a lot about the issue of the DVD.
    Have you noticed the same problem using several original DVD movies?
    Have you tried to clean the lens of STRANGE?

    Connection? You write about WLAN connection, right?

  • Problem with Vista hit the Satellite X 200 - 20 s

    Sometimes during typing on vista, it will stutter and freeze. The time is very short. Is this a problem with vista or the laptop. The T7300 Core 2 Duo 2 ghz processor.

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro S200 and the same problem was with my camera. It s is not a hardware problem, it s more a driver related issue No. So, the best thing you can do is update your bios and keep your drivers up-to-date. Just check the download Drivers Toshiba site and make sure you have the latest drivers installed.

    I had resolved my stuttering (core2duo 2.33 Ghz, 2 GB RAM) by updating all drivers...

    That's all

  • Two problems with my Satellite L50D-B - 17 K

    Hi all

    I have two problems with my new laptop (L50D-B - 17 K). I installed Windows 7 64 bit:

    1 - USB 3.0 ports (right) does not work after the installation of the USB driver available in the Web of Support from Toshiba site.
    An unknown device appears in Device Manager: "other devices - Bus USB controllers.

    Where is the valid driver for USB 2.0 ports?

    -Runs normally - USB 2.0 (left side)

    2. I can't adjust brightness of the display using fn + F2/F3.

    When I press fn + [f2 f3] setting icon appears at the top of the screen but the brightness does not (not more not less), always the same brightness.

    Also, I installed display and keyboard drivers support Web site available at Toshiba.

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards
    Jesus.

    Hello

    The USB 3.0 AMD driver is necessary and required to get the USB 3.0 ports to work.
    The driver can be found on the page of the Toshiba UE driver (I assume that you have installed this driver):

    To get USB 2.0 ports work, you must install the AMD chipset driver (... it's part of the package of display driver)

    Regarding the brightness function key:
    You must install the VAP (value added package) in order to use the FN keys.
    Of course, the display driver must be installed too (as suggested above)

  • Compatibility problem with Vista and iTunes

    I downloaded iTunes 9 on my Tobisha laptop Satellite last night and put about 2.5 GB of music on it. I didn't upload the music from the internet. I used MP3s, I had for a few years.

    When I went to boot up the laptop this morning the loading process took some time, but it never loaded to the login screen. I just see the bottom of MicroSoft. Is there a compatibility problem with Vista and iTunes? Maybe I put too much music on my laptop?

    Boot in safe mode and delete iTunes and all the music I downloaded would solve the problem? Or it is less simple than that?

    Don't know where to direct this question if any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    iTunes is compatible with Vista and there should not be any problem.
    Yesterday, I installed iTunes 9 on my U400 and everything happened correctly.
    If your laptop can not boot Vista correctly, then you should try the repair feature.

    Turn on the computer and press F8. Now you will see the advanced boot menu.
    Now, you have many choices.

    As a first step, you should try the option called: last good known Configuration (Advanced)

    If this will not help and the Vista will not start then try the option called repair your computer. This option displays a list of system recovery tools, you can use to repair startup problems, run diagnostics, or restore your system.

    If that does not help, then you will need to retrieve the unit using the Toshiba recovery disc or HARD drive recovery.

    I found I can't connect to the internet or install hardware such as cameras or printers. The installation of the system software, but the actual hardware does not work. at first, I thought that it was not compatible, but I wonder if USB ports work correctly supposed that no matter what I connect to the top, cameras, printers, mp3 pc can't find the element even if it is automatically install advice?

    Also, I am trying to connect this pc to my existing internet connection on a desktop computer. Any advice on how to do it because nothing seems to work. Cable and wireless and the laptop has an internal modem.

    Indeed some older hardware options are not compatible with Vista. But if the 3rd party software supports Vista will not be problem using these devices.
    You know that Vista is a new OS and Microsoft releases patches and fixes regularly very important.

    I noticed this last fix that resolves to many USB issued under Vista:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/941600/en-us

    I recommend the update to the Vista from time to time to fix some bugs in the OS

    > Also, I am trying to connect this pc to my existing internet connection on a desktop computer. Any advice on how to do it because nothing seems to work. Cable and wireless and the laptop has an internal modem.

  • Problems with multitasking on Satellite Pro P200

    I am the owner of a new Satellite Pro P200.
    I use this laptop to use software such as photoshop, indesign, etc.

    * Now I have problems with multitasking! *
    It is not possible to run 3 programs at the same time.
    That I have to restart my laptop again and again.

    Does anyone know what is the problem?
    Can someone help me with this problem?

    For two weeks I have P200D. I use it for work and use different applications at the same time. So far, everything is OK and I am very satisfied. Maybe you should try to optimize the operating system:
    -remove all software, you do not need
    -disable the startup of unnecessary software of automatic startup (MSCONFIG)
    -customize the appearance
    -information on the open performance and Control Panel tools and use tasks on the left side to improve the performance of computer s

    P200 is powerful enough and must be able to manage with a few applications running at the same time.

  • Performance issues with Vista on Satellite L40 - 14N

    I just signed up to your forum, it's really nice, how it works.
    I bought 3 months ago, a satellite L40-14N, with Vista Home Premium pre-installed, but I'm starting to get tired of the delays.
    I also have a problem, always Walker I want to open some windows, such as control panel or my computer and all my icons on the desktop disappear after some time will be displayed again, but not the application open before (Panel configuration or my computer).

    I wanted to ask all of you, what may be the problem, in fact I think to get rid of Vista and install XP, do you think it would be a good idea?
    If so, what kind of xp (sp2, sp3, etc.)? And, what I would have in return when I install xp, as what drivers need me for my laptop works properly again?

    Thank you very much... good day

    Hello

    He knows that the Vista operating system is in need of more resources as a Microsoft OS at the beginning of s.
    I have a Vista on the L30 and I get a really slow performance.
    In addition many services and processes running in the background of the operating system. It also decreases performance.
    But all background processes are needed if you want to use all the features of notebooks such as the FN keys or buttons to Toshiba for example.

    However, I've installed XP on the L30 without any additional driver for the FN keys, control buttons etc and it was amazing to see how fast the laptop can be.

    So generally it s not a bad idea to install XP on the L40.
    But note; If you want to install XP on the L40 you must install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager first. Without this driver SATA XP does not recognize the HARD drive.

  • Strange problem with on my Satellite A200-1 SD card reader has 9 & A100-338

    I have two Toshiba laptops, one for work (A200-1 to 9) the other for home (A100-338), both have the same problem with the reading of the internal reader SD cards.

    Most of the time when I insert an SD card (256 MB, 512 MB, 2 GB of varying sizes) laptops require the driver disks. It's VERY frustrating because the readers are standard build within these models. What makes this worse is the fact that every now and then, there is a map that can be read by both machines. If you read on one, he reads on the other always the same cards never changes. By so if the drive IS able to read SD cards without a driver, why is that it requires drivers for others. Drivers that are not provided, do not seem to exist and altermately mean that I can't use these cards.

    I just don't understand why there is a problem.

    There must be an answer out there, I hope someone reading this Post knows and is ready to share. Thank you!

    Hi guys

    -First check in the user manual which cards are supported! The cards can be used!

    -If you use Vista and have some issues with the SD card reader please check this Microsoft Knowledgebase document:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=936825

    -In addition, the information that there is no SD card driver is completely false!
    On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find the Flash Media Driver. This is the driver for your bridge Media Slot. This slot allows you to insert an SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture cards.
    In addition, you will find the Support of Flash memory card utility. This allows your computers to Flash card slots.
