  • Presentation settings is missing from the Windows Mobility Center

    Satellite L 300 with Vista Home Basic

    Recently installed everything, but have run windows update etc. Since then.

    Presentation settings does not appear in the Windows Mobility Center, and I can not find presentationsettings.exe anywhere on the computer.

    Have tried downloading VAP but no difference. Toshiba Assist has nothing to help me, I think.

    I tried looking for drivers and utilities for the L300 and sees nothing to help me - no presentation or power related only downloads.

    How can I get the presentation settings? The main problem I have is not to want the screen empties when you watch a DVD or streaming video. Even if you put windows power settings to never turn off the screen, it will still blank after a period of time without the intervention of the physical user, despite the video game.

    AFAIK this option is always available when the laptop is preinstalled with Toshiba (factory State) recovery image.
    You install own OS or what?

    I have two Toshiba laptops, and both of them have this option in the Windows Mobility Center.

    Hello

    ·          When the issue started?

    Try to analyze the computer using Antivirus software because this problem can occur if the computer is infected with the virus. You can use the Microsoft Security Analyzer by clicking on link http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/

    Note: once a virus is removed, you will need to reinstall some software, or restore lost information.

    Confirm that all drivers are up-to-date.  If the problem occurs again, I might have to try a system restore.
