• Should which driver I use for Windows XP on Portege R500 by WLan

  Because I couldn't get the wireless Lan driver, Intel, 11.1.0.100 references driver Toshiba download site (I'm redirected to a link that does not work), I went on the site: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/. Information about the two sites, all two of Toshiba, are contradictory:

  A site lists 11.1.0.100 references as driver for Windows XP, the other site of the 11.1.0.100 references as the driver for Vista 64 and the 11.1.1.16 as driver for Windows XP. Which should I use for Windows XP on Portege R500?

  Sorry my friend but after reading your question, I can just laugh. Use simply listed http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads driver, install it and enjoy your life.

• Portege R500 - network Constant interruptions

  I have a Portege R500 with Windows XP (SP3 now, but same problem with SP2 and same problem before and after all reinstall them), and the network continues to interrupt. It's desperately irritating, because I work a lot of ssh connections, and almost every time the connection breaks I lose some work. The best of cases, it's that I have to log in again and continue where I was.

  This happens regardless of whether I use WIFI or wired network, and sometimes little matter where I am - home, office, coffee internet, that, is not my connection. The network is interrupted every 15-30 minutes, and sometimes as I type or loading a page, while other times it seems just to occur. It is usually easy to tell when it happens, because all the ssh connections instantly hang, all my messenger connections are broken and Outlook complains that he has lost the connection to the Exchange Server. The connections Outlook and messenger do not realize anything is wrong before the connection started actually working again, which has probably something to do with TCP or ICMP messages finally get through, but it's really strange that TCP is not only address the problem transparently - the physical connection is never interrupted for long.

  I guess that it probably has something to do with energy saving, but I have been unable to resolve in setting energy saving settings. Also, I have the same problem, regardless of the question of whether the laptop is powered.

  (Probably?) it is not a hardware failure, because I don't have the same problem in Ubuntu Linux and memtest does not report the errors of memory. (Speaking of which, is there a memory testing tool or self test tool integrated with this laptop?).

  Any suggestion would be appreciated. I tried calling the number of local support twice, but it didn't help much to get there.

  Thanks a lot for this great info

• Portege R500 - some parameters of the touchpad are unavailable

  Hello

  I have a Portege R500 which have recently had an unfortunate encounter with the ground and needed a new hard drive, among other things; So it is like new in the aspect of the software.

  Since to resume the touchpad does not scroll.
  I checked the Control Panel, and it gives me only options for the number of lines per click of the scroll wheel down, so that it looks like, he thinks it's a normal mouse.

  In addition, it has no icon in the notification area on the taskbar to display when you press the key, which he was, and you can access a lot of parameters such as the size of the area of scroll etc...
  I checked the driver and it is the same as that available in the downloads section if it is not that, but I can find no trace of this another piece of software anywhere.

  Anyone know where I can download the icon and its parameters of support or any other means to scroll?
  Thank you

  It seems that you have not installed some needed touchpad driver.
  Driver Toshiba page provides an Alps Touch Pad Driver for Portege R500 Electric.
  Install it!

  Then you can check the settings in the control panel-> mouse-> hardware-> touchpad properties

• Portege R500 - toggle the display of the laptop to LCD projector screen

  Hello - new here, urgent request. We have a meeting, and I use the Portege R500 for the first time with LCD projector which is also a Toshiba.

  How do the laptop screen display the projection screen? I thought it was function F5 (Fn + F5), but it does not work.

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  Yes, you must use the FN + F5 to switch to the external monitor or external projector, etc.
  You must first connect the laptop with a projector, while both devices are turned off.
  After connecting the projector you could power the laptop.

  Then try to switch to external projector using the FN + F5 key combination

• Replacing the screen on Portege R500

  Hello

  I have a Portege R500 and I managed to break the screen.
  Part number is LTD121EWEK. Do I need to replace it with the same or are they some compatible screens which will be adapted?

  Thank you
  Wooju

  It is always best to use the same parts. So you'll be sure that everything will be OK.
  Question on other compatible screens is interesting, but I don't think anyone here can give a definitive answer or.

  Contact the nearest service Toshiba and ask for help. They have access to the database of Toshiba and they can check which screens can be used on this portable Portege model.

  By the way: I found the same info that you can use LCD TDG (LTD121EWEK) on the internet.

• Portege R500: Explorer crashes cured by installing the Driver Sound R600

  The equipped Portege R500 of Vista is a great phone except that mine Windows Explorer (not IE) kept crashing without obvious reason. The taskbar would suddenly become unresponsive and then I would get the opportunity to restart Explorer. "Problem Reports and Solutions" shows 129 these events in the 44 weeks since I bought it, and it is not my main computer, so I don't use it every day

  In any case, I think I found a solution which is to replace the R500 Realtek Sound Driver (version 6.0.1.5400) by the one for the R600 (version 6.0.5655). Since doing the crash seems to have stopped.

  The idea was that almost all of the events in question 'AppHangXProcB1', ' waiting on the name of the Application: svchost.exe:AudioClientRpc', and ' bucket ID: 157806391'. Research put in question the Realtek Sound driver and revealed many reports indicate that a similar problem with other laptops.

  The original version 6.0.1.5400 is still topical for R500 according to European and us sites Toshiba. However, the R600 version is 6.0.5655 dated dated 17/11/2008. As the R500 and R600 so similar I installed and have had no accidents since then. Previously I tried to upgrade to version 6.0.1.5624 (from Windows Update on 2009-03-04) and 6.0.1.5477, which Toshiba Canada for the R500 question, but they were no better than 6.0.1.5400.

  I haven't noticed any bad Effect to have the pilot of 'bad '. Of course, it would be nice to have advice from Toshiba on this and to know if other people have had similar problems with their R500, but in the meantime, it's great to be able to use it without the bar all the time freezing of tasks.

  Hi Johnson

  Thanks for this report. This is the solution and the very interesting question.
  Let's see if someone else will report on the same or similar topic.

  To be honest, I can't imagine that Windows Explorer may hang so easy with the settings.
  All the preinstalled images are tested and if there is a serious problem you need to Toshiba. But anything is possible.

• Portege R500 - CPU is 50% (accelerator)

  My Portege R500 has to a C2D U7700 processor, who still works at half it is the maximum speed. And when I say always, I mean that lower the CPU load makes no difference, battery/power makes no difference, and power management has also makes no difference.

  Note that I speak not of the States-P! The processor goes to 1, 33GHz when I wait for him. I have NOT also speaks the thermal throttle, because the cpu is not overheating. I do not speak of the * economy Butterfly * normal energy.

  How can I know it?

  Well, I turned this processor is actually slower than an Atom N270. This could not be true, so I went to study. I downloaded [RMclock | http://cpu.rightmark.org/download.shtml] and I noticed that the throttle is never more than 50%. RMclock can turn off gas also by the force of the lever, and then YES my laptop is literally twice as fast (which can be seen in any benchmark CPU). But after 10 seconds or more, the throttle is back and the laptop is back at half it's maximum speed.

  Here's what I've tried so far:
  (1) HWSetup, the value dynamic CPU frequency Mode "still high". No change.
  (2) in Vista, select "High performance" power plan and max on the "CPU power management" option in the options advnaced. No change.
  (3) in RMclock, define the profile to * only * use the throttle to 100% State. No change.
  (4) RMclock, disable C1E instruction. No change.

  So. How can I get the gas in order to exploit and 100% when I need to? Otherwise I could buy a netbook-Atom based as well :(

  Please help :)

  Hello Touré

  It will be interesting to know if you are still using the factory with all settings preinstalled Toshiba stuff or you have maybe clean installation of the OS?

  What is the CPU load in idle state?
  What happens if you open several applications and expect more power?
  Use CPU does only 50% and remains at this level?

• Portege R500 - fingerprint reader and SD card reader does not work

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me.

  I bought an opportunity Portege R500 (the warranty is still available until 12/2010) and set up with Windows 7 Home Premium.

  I installed all the drivers for Windows 7 from the specific model support page. Driver Vista have been installed for all drivers, which are not available in Windows 7.

  If everything works fine, except the fingerprint reader and the sd card slot.

  Fingerprints: I tried al a lot of drivers, even that of the R600 and R700 (such as proposed by someone here in the forum). When I run the Toshiba fingerprint utility, a text box tells me, that there is no connection with the sensor. Authentc software does not work either.

  SD card reader: I tried several SD cards from a card SD 2 GB simple and old (but functional) Kingston. According to the Director of devicce, the driver is correctly installed and running.
  The blue icon next to wireless light turns on and after a "long", a message box appears and asks me to format the card. It takes a little longer and then I get the massage, the card cannot be formatted. I tried the same procedure with a SDHC card 4 GB and a Micro SDHC card in a SD card adapter. Then of course the cards are identified but not usable and formatted.

  There are several reports of other users of the internet, the locations of sd card in computer models laptops different toshiba have problems under Windows 7.

  The two problems have emerged as well under Vista. My hope was, this upgrade to Win 7 solve poverty. Unfortunately remain the problems of th I have Win 7.

  Thanks in advance,

  Michael (Germany)

  Thanks for the feedback second
  By the way; It is a forum for user to user in this community, everyone is trying to help everyone, so if someone wants to say that he would be able to help, then you will get a response from such user maybe you should also pass a few simple threads in this forum and might help other users as well?

  Tip; BIOS update and setting BIOS by default (with F9) can solve many problems... it's worth a try...

  By the way; Win 7 is able to update the drivers automatically. I recommend that you run an update in Device Manager and let windows search for the update.

  I ve got another laptop and installed Win 7 as well. The card reader Vista driver has worked for me on Win 7 OS just a tip

• Portege R500 - cannot remove the password user and supervisor

  Hoping someone can help me with a problem,

  I voluntarily put a password for user and supervisor on one of our Portege R500.
  I know what the password is, but I just want to remove so that I am not prompted for the password whenever the laptop is turned on.

  I seem to be unable to disable this feature, which is a problem that the laptop is about to be reassigned to a differnet use that would be impractical for users to have to put a password on startup.

  He must have a way to disable the password requirement.

  Of course, you can disable this password. Just use the same way you used to.
  It can be done using Toshiba Assist > Secure. You used this way to get into these options, you?

• Portege R500 and SSD update

  I have a Portege R500-S5006V with a 64 GB SSD installed.
  Currently I have space issues, but always so happy with this nice computer I don't want to replace it.

  Is it possible to upgrade to an SSD more? What kind of readers are compatible?
  I need to send to Toshiba, or a regular computer repair shop can do this for me?

  I think that the SSD in this machine is not a standard 2.5 "SATA or IDE Drive, it is 1.8" and has a ZIF connector and runs as an IDE device.

  Do a google search for "IDE ZIF SSD" and you will find a few commands which can be compatible. In theory, they should work in the R500, but I'm not 100% sure.

  An FSL can install for you for a fee.

  I have updated my portege R500 WIndows 7 64-bit OS and had the following problems:

  1. as a first step the touchpad scrolling has worked well (with no driver installed) but then it works more... so I tried a driver but
  2. There is no driver for the touchpad (Alps) which is recognized as a compatible mouse PS
  BTW, uninstalling and reinstalling didn't work and I searched a lot on the web but found no solution.

  I downloaded the drivers for VISTA 64 bit, is it safe to use?

  Appreciated advice, thank you.

  Simone

  Hello

  > I downloaded the drivers for VISTA 64 bit, is it safe to use?
  Yes, it s safe you can try to install the drivers for the touchpad for Vista in the worst case, you will get an error message that this driver is not compatible or will not work.

  But look man there is Win 7 Alps and Synaptics touchpad drivers for Win 7.
  The drivers were released for other series of laptop.
  Check the Satellite L500 area for example

  I have Win 7 64 bit drivers.

• Portege R500 suddenly turns off, restarts

  Scared near death of my 16 month old Portege R500 running XP Pro.

  Symptom: It suddenly shuts down while I work - the screen turns white (black - although a fraction of a second of vertical - I think - lines), then it starts again. When it restarts automatically, I get a notice from windows saying that my system has recovered from a serious error. What happened three times in the last month. I can't be sure of that, but I think that in all cases, I was working in IE - version 6 and now upgraded to 8 (which keeps freezing upward in his own right, but seems not related). It seems to happen completely randomly and not at any relevant time as starting a program or something.

  QUestion: any experience? Anyone know what is happening? My hard drive is going to die, or is it just an overheating?

  Note relevant potential: 36 to 40 degrees celcius here for the last 8 weeks. The computer is so hot that you can fry an egg on it. It is on a raised platform and let him NAP for an hour or two after lunch. Two of us sit with a fan on us. We use an external display.

  Thank you in advance.

  > It suddenly shuts down while I work - the screen turns white (black - although a split second of worm)
  > Note relevant potential: 36 to 40 degrees celcius here for the last 8 weeks.

  Well, the high temperature might be the cause of this behavior.
  And of course, that could happen often in the summer while a higher outside temperature.

  I think you should check the cooling fans.
  Spray compressed air to remove dirt and dust from the fans.
  Ensure that there is enough free space around the laptop to get properly air circulation.

• Re: Portege R500-125 - Vodafone 3 G SIM card - what to do!

  I recently bought a Portege R500 125. It is size excellent performance wise, wise, specs, weight, etc. But the most important feature for me was the 3G feature.

  Opening the box and instructions (guia rapido) there was no mention about the card 3 G slot at all, I got a quick glance around the laptop and could not find shelter. Then, I wondered if I had indeed bought the laptop, looked good the box and he defeinitely said 3G.

  So I came to the forum support and picked up a thread saying that the SIM card slot was behind the battery in the range Portege and Tecra. Hey presto, he was there. I thought, excellent put SIM card in and run the mobliink software. I started the mobilink software and he said Vodafone UK on the interface graph of the application user. Click on connect and it would start saying "connection" and then would just go back to "Ready".

  Next step was to call the Toshiba support, they told me that I had to download the update of the Novatel Wireless of the download site VER 10.9 driver I think. In addition, they said that YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE MOBILINK SOFTWARE TO CONNECT! I was told to use the Vodafone VISTA software to connect. Thus obtained on the Vodafone site and downloaded the 9.3.0 software, also reviewed the read me document (do not usually do this and guess what he mentioned that it supports Novatel V10.9), so I was well on my way, I thought! Not yet!

  Downloaded the Novatel Wireless driver and then install the Vodafone software. Pulled up the Vodafone software and he said "mobile deveice is detected" and that's all. It does not search for networks. So I thought lets try one more thing. I removed the SIM card from the laptop and put the SIM card in the original PC card. Once I put the PC data card in, it installed some drivers and then he said that it has been installed successfully. Then the times of crisis! , launcehed the Vodafone software and hey presto, we have a signal and a connection! SUCCESS.

  Now for the acid test. Put the SIM card in the laptop launched the software, the first message on the screen - 'mobile device detected' then 'search network', then to the last 'Vodafone 3 G', you press the button connect and we had a connection.

  It seemed a long drawn from the process, but arrived in the end. I think using the data card, it installs several structural factors that Vodafone and Portege software must have to operate successfully. I think it would be the same approach for the 3G SIM card Vodafone not only.
  _In summary_

  * Update of Novatel Wireless Drivers (V10.9) Portege downloads
  To install the Vodafone Vodafone (V9.3.0) Vista driver. co.UK
  * Insert data with 3G SIM card (wait drivers are installed and message that says "drivers installed successfully")
  Launch of software Vodafone and connect - wait for a successful connection
  * Remove the SIM and data card
  * Install the SIM card in the Portege (behind the battery, then lock it in position)
  Launch of Vodafone software and connect (DO NOT USE MOBILINK)

  I hope this helps.
