• very slow Satellite Pro 6100

  Hello

  First: sorry for my English, but it's very bad * G *.

  Now my problem:
  After reinstalling (windows XP), the SP6100 is very slow. The system always have 100% CPU usage regardless of what program I'm starting. It is not the bios (latest version and all the stalls on the CPU power) and not the HARD drive, I have tested yesterday night and completely zero formatted. But the problem is there too, also with linux or Windows 2000.

  I don't understand, because before I reinstall the system, NB has been very rapid.

  Does anyone now a response, so I put the laptop?

  Welcome,
  Bastian

  Hello Bastian

  You reinstall the operating system using the original recovery CD or Microsoft WXP (full version)? As far as I know this camera comes with Windows XP Home edition Professional. Am I right about that?

  There are many reasons that can make the much slower system, installation of SP2 or maybe extra software. Check please the process running in the Task Manager. Maybe there are some of them that you don't need, but can be reason for memory and CPU use.

• Satellite Pro A100 carpet * dvd uj - 841 s write at very slow speed

  Hello.

  The carpet * a dvd multi drive uj - 841 s that came with my satellite pro a100 written on very slow DVD. Firmware 1.50
  I use good philips and kodak media (both rated 16 X).

  now, I know that the drive is only rated at 8 X max. But I can't even reach 6 X.

  A firmware update would solve this?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  To my knowledge, some burning applications control the burning speed to obtain the best possible results from burning
  As you probably n t know the speed of combustion higher risk of burn errors
  I burn my DVD only using a single 1 x speed.

  Then I can be sure that all DVD players would be able to play the burned DVD.

• Satellite Pro A100 very slow, especially at the start

  Hi, I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A100. In general, I'm very happy with it, but I find it very slow especially at startup. It may take more than 5 minutes to be completely started.

  Are there settings or settings that I can do to fix this?

  Hello

  I agree with the previous user of the forum. I often heard that Norton slows down the system quickly. Try to remove it and test it again.

• Satellite Pro A100 always seems very hot

  My Satellite Pro A100 seems always very hot. I can't get on my knee for long that I get really hot. Is this a general problem or there at - it something wrong with my laptop.

  I had about 5 months, and none of my other laptops have had this problem?

  Hi Colleen

  Have you read the manual? I think that you didn t. You will find instructions how to use the device.
  It seems that you are using this laptop on your lap. That s not good and not recommended!

  First of all the fans and the fans are placed at the bottom of the unit and its necessary and important to let him free because of the traffic the air!

  Please don t compare the A100 with other portable older. New generation laptops use devices of high performance like CPU and GPU. These elements must be cooled and the circulation of fresh air is very important to work properly. So use it on the table or desk and don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop!

• Satellite Pro A100 - recovery mode sleep with keyboard or media remote

  Hi guys

  I have devoted my Satellite Pro A100 to be a media center which is located under the TV and can play media network and DVD etc..
  It is using Vista.

  I want to set up, is that the lid is closed 24/7 365 days and when I want to use I just press "SLEEP" or power button on the remote control or the keyboard and it fires up ready for action.

  POINT TO THE NOTE. I did it successfully with my OLD Tecra M3. However, was too slow for vista and media center

  However, I put the power settings I want etc, close the cover nothing and activated standby hybrid (favorite sleep).

  Now I CAN put it to sleep with the remote control or the multimedia keyboard. BUT I can wake up?... NO!. I thought about everything... went to the Device Manager and made sure that all the options for the remote control and keyboard and USB receiver are set to WAKE FROM SLEEP. The only thing to wake up it is the power button - which defeats the purpose of it sitting there like a dvd player.

  awake when the remote control and keyboard function very well - I made sure that the batteries are charged.
  I have the latest version of the BIOS and speaking of BIOS there is no option power S3 I noticed, but then there were not on the M3 and it worked very well in terms of sleep and wake up with the IR.

  I come to the forum because even though I know that some older systems will not work with vista - IF the M3 will work - I'm sure that the A100 twice as new and powerful.

  Has anyone had this before - that I missed it must look me in the face.

  Thanks in advance.

  PS Also lately the touchpad played upward IE left and right clickers Exchange feature so one second your work as normal the next minute you click left and right clikc menu appears. Reset the synaptic reinstalled - rebuilt - BIOS - no difference.

  When I worked in management for a large company when it started happening was not good news - it's a bad news?

  Hello

  I m not very well why it doesn t on your Satellite Pro A100 and why it works on M3.
  But the fact is that the Satellite Pro A100 doesn t support the FIR (Fast InfraRed) port and the
  Tecra M3 supports the fast infrared port.

  Maybe this could be the reason why you can not activate the laptop using the infrared remote control multimedia.

• Satellite Pro A100 becomes warm while playing a game

  I had a problem for some time with the Satellite Pro A100 when I play games.

  I'm glitchy spells during the game, sometimes with the fan runs much and the laptop is very hot.

  Is there something I can do?

  Hello

  As you've probably experienced peripheral internally as CPU and GPU have to work with the best performance all in game. This leads to higher heat dissipation.
  If fans and the internal vents are clogged then the CPU and the GPU may not be cooled properly and may lead to overheating

  What can you do? You can ensure that your vents are free of dust and debris, and that air can circulate properly.
  I would recommend so clean the fans with a jet of compressed air. These aerosols can be ordered from dealers different computer/laptop.

  In addition, don t use the laptop in the bet, couch or on the knees because the cooling fans would be stuck and this would lead to a higher temperature.

  Good bye

• Program to close or crash on Satellite Pro A100

  HAVE THE SATELLITE PRO A100, WHICH I USE FOR MUSIC. I INSTALLED PCDJ AND PROGRAM FROM TIME TO TIME STOP, CRASHES WITHOUT REASON.

  I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALL THE PROGRAM, BUT IT CONTINUES TO SE WHICH IS VERY ANNOYING IF I DO A DJ SET AT THE PUB OR CLUB.

  HE DON'T Y HAS NO GROUNDS TO THAT HE CAN STOP AFTER 1 HOUR OR 4 H. CAN SOMEONE AS HELP I HAVE FRIENDS WHO USE IT ON TOSHIBA LAPTOP WITH NO PROBLEMS... PS IT'S NOT PORTABLE THAT BLOCKS ANY PROGRAM...

  Hi AL Karaoke ;)

  For me it s a clear case. Programs crashed due to high temperature.

  > I AM DOING A DJ SET AT THE PUB OR CLUB.

  I suppose that the temperature of the environment is a little higher in the pub or club. In addition, I think that the laptop can not cool properly due to the circulation of air.
  I m sure that the laptop is running properly without any crashes if you are going to use it as a common user. Do not forget that there is enough free space around the laptop for a circulation and cooling properly

• Satellite Pro A100: Keys to self-retaining post-split alcohol to the keyboard

  Hello

  I recently shared Jack Daniels in my keyboard and now some of the keys have become
  sticky - is anyway to jump keys on clean them?

  My laptop is a Satellite Pro A100

  Thanks in advance,

  Matt

  The key - caps are loose enough easy, you know how they are attached to the base.
  Please be very gentle when you try it, especialy on your first key.

  You will just need to lift the key (perhaps using your nails) of the left and right of the key,... a few seconds later, he's going to jump on you.

  You can build your own tool, too. This is how the dedicated tool looks like:

  Please keep in mind that some keys like SPACEBAR are very sensitive and have a slightly different mechanism.
  Oh yes, one more thing. Please don't blame me if you break something... I've seen people hammering on their keyboard to remove dirt and were angry after they broke something.

  Best regards

  Good luck

  PS Lucky it was just of Jack Daniels, Bacardi would be worse :D

• Satellite Pro A100: CD/DVD player will not play the audio CD or video DVD

  People,
  I have a Satellite Pro A100, with a RUG * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841 S Drive.
  It will read fine data disks, but refuses to play with the audio CD or video DVD.

  I tried to uninstall & Re-Installing DVD - RAM Driver;
  That got rid of the "IO error" that I received, unfortunately I don't notice the full error: S.
  He now just doesn't see the drive. Someone at - it ideas?

  I did a full windows update, and the Toshiba Diagnostic util tell me anything useful except "Fail" :(

  I found a thread in this forum that describes a similar theme:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19747&MessageID=72404

  Sometimes this error is displayed because the player does not support the environment.
  Always it is every way is supported by readers and I think that in the user manual, you will find an index CDs or DVDs compatible

  Maybe the drive is defective and can not calibrate lens in the right position.
  But this laptop is not very old, and I can't imagine that the drive is defective
  However, nothing is impossible.

  What you can do is to carefully clean the lens and see that it will help.

• Solution for DVD playback choppy on Satellite Pro A100

  Hello!

  I had this problem twice on my Toshiba laptop (Satellite Pro A100 bought in April 2006): the DVD used to play very well, but now (perhaps after an update of the driver or installation of software, I not sure what causes this) DVD playback is choppy, distorted sound. This occurs throughout all media players on Windows XP (for example, PowerDVD which came with the laptop) or Windows media player.

  I searched the internet far from a solution and finally found how to solve this problem:

  Go to Device Manager, select the "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" section, and then select the "second IDE channel", right click and 'uninstall '. (There are two second IDE channels, if you know which then just uninstall both.) Restart Windows XP, Windows XP will automatically reinstall the drivers without the need to download anything. Subsequently the DVD Player reads normally.

  The symptoms of the problem, apart from DVD playback choppy, are the "transfer mode" gets stuck on PIO for a reason, and bring back to DMA with no opportunity to spend. I have no idea what software or driver causes this, or why, but if this is your problem too, if you think that this solves.

  Cool, thanks for the inquiry and the nice information.
  Could be useful to others here in the forum.
  Nice to have these community users :)

• Strange problem with RAM on Satellite Pro A100

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 (not sure which...)
  It came with 2x256mb RAM, which are mounted. I noticed my laptop slow, so I checked what he says on the properties of the workstation - who said RAM 192Mo...

  Any idea what's going on?
  I had a peek inside, both are mounted securely, while the right push entirely? There is a small gap (about 1 / 2mm) so that is the little nick and real editing. -What is the cause? Or it's maybe faulty?

  Please help me!
  Thanks in advance,

  Diana

  According to the description of your problem, I guess one of the memory modules is not recognized by the system and the specified result 192 MB of Ram only tell me that your laptop has shared graphics memory card.

  Satellite Pro A100 is fairly new to laptop and, in my opinion, you should contact service. The guarantee must be valid and if everything is defective it will be replaced free of charge.

  If possible, tell us what Satellite Pro, you have exactly. This info you can find on the lower side of your laptop.
