• Satellite Pro A300: cam image appears taken 6 months ago

  Hello everyone,

  I have a problem with my Camera Assistant Software. I use a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300.
  Once I used my camera to take pictures and now after 6 moths I wanted to take a picture again, but it seems the last photo taken 6 months ago. I uninstalled and reinstalled that the software and the same problem occurs. I tried to change some of the settings and it did not help also.

  I would be very grateful if someone could help me!

• Satellite Pro A300: Bluetooth headphones sound decreases when it is connected

  Hello

  I have a pair of headphones Creative SE2300 Bluetooth that I use with my Satellite Pro A300 and its built-in bluetooth.

  They connect well and work as they should (including the A2DP and AVRCP) except that the sound cuts every 20 seconds or more for anything from a fraction of a second for a couple. Abandonment of sound is completely intermittent no apparent reason for it.

  Now earphones Creative also came with a transmitter to connect to any helmet and the connection to it works perfectly with no decline in the sound. I also connected the earphones to my phone and it used to listen to music, and once again the connection is flawless.

  So why the connection to my laptop is so bad?

  I have improved the battery Bluetooth to the last v7.00.16 (T) and my headphones are fully charged.

  Any help will be very appreciated!

  You have any other Bluetooth connections configured for example data synchronization?

• Satellite Pro A300 - How can I turn on my webcam?

  Satellite Pro A300 - How can I turn on my webcam? Operating windows 7. The computer is clean.

  Hello

  The webcam can be used with programs like Skype communication where you can make a video call. Of course, there are other messengers or programs they use the webcam.

  But you must install the software/driver webcam that you can use. This software can be downloaded from the official website of Toshiba (Camera Assistant Software):

• Satellite Pro A300 - driver Webcam cannot start under Win 7

  Recently bought a satellite Pro A300 and immediately updated from Vista to Win7 Pro Bus.
  Do not use webcam before upgrade.

  After upgrade, after downloading and installing the Toshiba Chicony webcam software, continually get message "Webcam driver open fail." "Please restart camera or computer.
  Camera appears in Device Manager and says driver is a Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385 driver v dated 06/21/06 (very pre-Win7!).

  Have you tried unistalling/reinstalling software camera assistant with and without first uninstalling the program camera in Device Manager, but the same error message comes back every time. I would appreciate suggestions for a fix.

  Hello

  In your case, I would try to install the latest driver for the webcam of Toshiba. Install this driver and try again. Also, make sure that this latest version of the BIOS is installed for your laptop.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if the same problem happens on Vista. You should try it with the factory settings. So that you can identify if it s a hardware or software problem.

• Satellite Pro A300 - how to install the webcam?

  I got my laptop via my uni so did amyn backup discs (especially not the webcam).

  Basically my laptop is a Trojan virus on my webcam, set it and I restarted my computer. It is then flashed up on reboot that I need to install my webcam but I don't have the disk and now I can't use my webcam! What should I do?

  PS I'm not a genius with computers so please be easy on me with the language.

  Hi mate,

  If you need to reinstall the driver for the webcam you can download on the Toshiba site and all drivers for your laptop:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  I have too many Satellite Pro A300 and it s not delivered with the Toshiba Recovery disk because you create such a floppy yourself. So start the Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is preinstalled on your laptop and you can create this disk. It contains a picture of the factory settings, and so you can restore the entire system every time.

• Satellite Pro A300 - Webcam does not work in Windows live messenger

  Recently bought a Satellite Pro A300, with integrated webcam. However, when I try to use the webcam in Windows live messenger it comes up with the following error messages.

  * "We couldn't start your camera. Please check that your camera is not currently being used by another program, and then try again. » *

  Also this message...

  * "Messenger is not available right now. Please try again later. (0x82000009). "

  When you get the message if another program uses always the camera.

  So, try to disable the webcam software and other e-mail programs in msconfig.
  Restart the laptop and if you want to use the webcam software you need to start the first webcam software.

• Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E: Touchpad not recognized using Win XP SP2

  Hi all

  I just got a Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E, which is preloaded with Vista. It is also comes with a 'product' XP SP2 recovery CD I had to use because of some software work with Vista compatibility issues.

  Unfortunately, everything works well except the Touchpad, which is not recognized by XP at all (without entries, error or not, in the Device Manager).
  The "Recovery" of XP CD installed the drivers of the Alps and the Toshiba Touchpad utility (for turning on and outside), so it seems that it is supposed to work.

  It is activated in the BIOS (which I have also flashed to the latest version, just in case) and is enabled in the software. I also rebuilt the laptop using the "Recovery" CD (the touchpad is not also recognized by starting on the CD "Recovery" which I guess uses WinPE).

  It does not work on Vista, so it shouldn't be a hardware problem.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Thanks in advance.

  Andy

  Hey Buddy

  Well in your case I would recommend going to the Device Manager and remove the touchpad in the list of devices.

  Then visit the European driver Toshiba page, choose your model of laptop, Win XP OS and download the driver for the Alps Electric and Synaptics touchpad.

  Install both drivers, reboot the laptop and check if your touchpad will work correctly.

  Good luck

• Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA: can I use faster and bigger HARD drive?

  So this may seem like a stupid question, but if I intend to spend of the installed 160 GB 5400 RPM HDD of the Satellite Pro A300 1EA to a 7200 RPM drive HARD (do not know the ability yet) and I was wondering how to make recovery disks (downgrade from Vista professional and XP Professional) coming with the work of the laptop with the HARD disk that does not part of factory as drives for my understanding restore the system...

  The size of the drive HARD replacement has something to do with the thing?
  If the replacement HARD drive is also 160 GB system see the difference? And even if it was smaller or larger the system see the difference?

  I have not even bought the laptop but will soon and it is a little urgent.

  Computer thanks Fellows ahead! :)

  * Oh... It seems that this question has already been answered... a little research has ever killed forum person huh... but if someone has vital information about the issue... Please let me know! :)*

  Hello

  I think that he should t be a problem with an upgrade to a faster and bigger HARD drive.
  But before you switch the HARD disk, you must create the Toshiba Recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
  After the recovery disk has been created, you can move the hard drives.

  Best regards

  I installed THIS version of the driver for the webcam on my Win7 preinstalled Satellite A300 and it works perfectly.

  I tested the software pre-installed and it works well. I also tested it with Skype. No problem at all.
  Test it on your Satellite too.

  Does anyone else have this problem or knows something that could solve this problem? Because I'm at a total loss.

• Satellite Pro A300-28R - how to enable virtualization in the BIOS?

  I tried to enable the setting of virtualization in the BIOS and the setting is disabled and I was unable to change the setting to activate. I have flashed the BIOS to the new version, and now how to enable virtualization has completely disappeared.
  The laptop model is Satellite Pro A300-28R with Windows 7 Professional and BIOS version 2.10.

  How do I enable virtualization setting so I can run Windows Virtual PC mode to run compatible programs XP?

  Hello

  Did you check the specifications of your laptop first?

  The fact is that the processor must support this virtualization and according to the Web of Toshiba site, your laptop is equipped with processor Core 2 Duo T5870.
  I checked this on the page of Intel CPU and virtualization isn't supported. That means t, you can use this feature!

• Satellite Pro A300-257 while flashing the BIOS

  Hello

  I have a dilemma. I recently installed windows 7 on my laptop of girlfriends who is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-257, everything went well until I tried to update the Bios. I followed all instructions on the toshiba site had to put the model number in to get good bios double checked and triple checked before running the program, but when I ran the system crashed to halfway through the closed system update and now it wont even boot lights are on cd player is ROAR a few stays on black screen.

  I read many forums and it seems im not the only one with this problem.
  I just got the phone to toshiba and they say im not covered because I does not you can call and go through it with them on the phone, even if at no time did he tell me to do that I followed the instructions of there Web site.
  I also confirmed with them that I used the correct bios but they say that they are unable to prove that and I can put in the wrong information that I did not.

  In my view, there is a program that will allow me to boot from the cd so I don't have to go out and buy a reader external floppy to Flash the bios, I think that his winflash. Unfortunately, all I can find is the executable program on there website which im guessing will not start work.
  Anyone know where I can find the prog to update the bios and the bios file so I can create a cd bootable to Flash the bios.

  Any help will be appreciated with gratitude

  Thank you very much

  Hi mate

  I m afraid there is no alternative to reflash the BIOS to the traditional version of BIOS who can start the BIOS updated using an external USB drive and the floppy disk.

  The European driver Toshiba page contains only the BIOS Win-based that can be updated when the windows operating system. The traditional BIOS is not available for download. Only authorized service partners have access to this version of BIOS and that's why I don t see any alternative as to get in touch with the guys and to ask for help.
