• Black screen instead of desktop Windows XP on Satellite A100-455

  I now have a permanent problem with my laptop Satellite A100-455, since it does not stop properly (in fact that he stopped when the battery was out...).
  Now systematically when I try to start the laptop, after the Toshiba and Windows XP family logo the rest black (only the work of the mouse arrow), the Windows desktop display ever!

  Even with a mode F8, I tried a few options without success...
  What can I do?
  Do you think that the only solution is the recovery of the system with the original recovery CD supplied with the laptop?
  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hmm, try this:
  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the portable computer
  Wait a bit (1 hour should be enough) and together the two parties again.
  Then try to restart the device

  Otherwise, the new installation of the OS by using the recovery disk is a good choice and shouldn't take too long the procedure as a whole doesn't take longer than 10 minutes!

  See you soon and good luck!

• Network controller is not recognized on Satellite A100 Windows XP

  Hi all!

  I bought a Satellite A100 PSAAR and I did a clean install of Windows XP on it. I installed all the drivers in the correct order (downloaded from the support page) but I still have a problem:

  Ethernet controller and network controller appear with a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager, and they are not recognized. I have downloaded the driver lan and I managed to do recognize the ethernet controller. However no matter how hard I tried, I can't find the correct driver for the NETWORK CONTROLLER, which still appears in Device Manager in yellow color.

  I really could use any help here... Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Shouldn´t be a big problem to get some drivers for your machine's real lan. Just go here:

  http://www.Intel.com

  and download the intel proset for ethernet controller. If you didn t already installed the wireless card, do so. Otherwise the other network controller could be the bluetooth adapter.

  It would be nice to hear from you...

  See you soon

• Satellite A100 PSAA2A - BIOS recognize only 1 GB of RAM after upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100 PSAA2A. RAM is up to 2GB (2 slots).
  Now, I have 256MB + 512 MB (Kingston KVR533D2/S4/512) total = 768 MB (Samsung 256 MB DDRII 533FSB).
  It works well

  I want to improve my RAM. I've got Kingston KTT533D2 / 1 G
  I have 512 MB + 1024 MB = 1.5 GB

  I removed 256 MB to 1 GB. Now she has 512 MB and 1024 MB
  But BIOS recognizes only 1 GB (Windows XP as well). I changed my slot machines, a different combination made - always 1 GB (not 1, 5 GB)

  I checked each memory separately 256 MB, 512 MB, 1024MB - works well, but combination of combination and 512 MB + 1024 MB 256 MB + 1024 MB do not work.

  I did a BIOS upgrade and set version 2.3

  Any ideas guys?

  Thank you.

  I m not sure but I think the problem are two different modules. They come from different manufacturers have different abilities.

  If you want to, or more than 1 GB RAM, use should use the same modules. At a time when prices are cheap.

  But you can also test the RAM with special tools like Memtest86:

• Satellite A100-773: CD/DVD player does not recognize the CD

  Hello friends,

  I have satellite A100-773.
  When I turned on it today it does not recognize any CD. He acknowledges, however, DVD and can also burn CDs with Nero.

  As soon as I put in a CD it says (in German) something like "access denied, unauthorized function.
  It's a mystery to me what happened. Until yesterday, it was perfect. Now the same CD (and I tried 20) wouldn' work anymore.

  I tried the recovery system to an earlier point in time, but it does not help. In the hardware Manager tells me that everything is going well.

  Do you have any idea what it can be?

  Thank you very much

  Ognian

  Hello

  In such cases, it s is not easy to say why it happens.
  Usually if the drive cannot read media either material works badly or the CD / DVD is not compatible and taken in charge.

  But we hope that the equipment is not damaged.
  Try to remove the drive from Device Manager and restart the laptop.
  After that restart of the operating system should recognize the drive again and load the driver. Then you could try to test the drive again.

  I also found a very large Microsoft document on:
  How to troubleshoot problems that occur when you copy data on a CD - R or CD - RW optical disc in Windows XP
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/324129

  and this:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315350/

  The other possibility is to use the recovery CD to reinstall the OS.

• Satellite A100-692: after an error of installation of Windows XP Prof blue

  Hello

  I bought a new satellite A100-692 with Windows XP Home OEM as an operating system.
  But when I tried to access the internet using the local area network and a Proxy Server, it does not work.

  I tried everything I knew and even ask some Forums to get a response, but nothing help.
  Then I think it can work when I install Windows XP Prof instead of the OEM Version. Because all Clients in our network work fine with it.

  But when I run the Installer (booting from CD) I get a blue screen with the message that there is a problem with the PCI (pci.sys) driver (after loading all the drivers).

  Can someone tell what I need to do so that I can install another OS?

  Thank you

  PS: Excuse me if my English is not very good ;)

  Hello

  First of all, the blue screen error message may appear due to hardware failure or serious malfunction of software.
  In your case I guess that it s a software issue because on the version OEM pre-installed, everything worked properly.

  In addition I checked the site s driver and it seems that there are drivers for 3 different notebooks to A100. In this case, you should be sure that you use the correct drivers.
  As far as I checked this laptop your A100-692 has PSAA9E number.

  But have you created a CD of drivers & tools before formatting the HARD drive? This option you will find in the assistance of Toshiba.

  However, you can download the drivers from the Toshiba site and here it is very important that these drivers will be installed in the right order!
  The chipset utility must be installed in a first time after all installations of service packs.
  The common modules are also important.

• Can I put my Satellite A100 - 811 OS to Windows Vista ulitimate?

  Hello, I want to improve my A100-811 OS to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition instead of WinXP.
  I find the drivers for this model easily... will be any problems after the upgrade?
  Vista will work very well on this model?

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  the machine is vista ready, then it shouldn´t be a problem to install vista on it. With regard to the ultimate edition: I do not know how the performance will be because things like aero or some other 'system tools' slow the machine down really low. It might be better to stay in XP until they release the first servicepack for Vista (no matter what edition, global it s for all versions ;)).

  So if you want to REALLY do, so I give you here a link (http://pc-support.toshiba-europe.com/vista/) where you can search for drivers for your machine, and you should do something like downloading all the drivers, burn them on CD or put on a USB key, back up all your data and then install vista after you have formatted the hard drive.

  Good luck buddy

• Windows vista on the Satellite A100-036 problems

  Hello. I have a Toshiba satellite A100-036 laptop with windows vista home basic 32-bit, and I have the following problems.

  1. they replace me the hard drive in a store. I don't have the Toshiba dvd recovery I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it more because the recovery of the disk partition is lost. If I want to format again what should I do?

  2. whenever I turn on the laptop touchpad scrolling does not work. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "unable to connect to the score. synaptics device driver. If you have installed another pointing PS/2 device driver please uninstall the synaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You must then reinstall your device pointing to your external device driver again. You want to uninstall the synaptics driver now? "I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.

  3. whenever I turn on the laptop the bluetooth does not work and the bluetooth icon does not appear in the taskbar. I have to go to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, go to control panel > bluetooth local com and it works again. Whenever I turn on the laptop I have to do this.

  4. everytime I turn on the laptop the Security Center is turned off and I put in market or the automatic updates are disabled and I have to turn them on.

  5. sometimes it does not install the automatic updates and it shows me Error 8000FFFF.
  Could someone help me? Thank you.

  > 1. they replaced the hard drive in a store. I don't have the Toshiba dvd recovery I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it because the recovery of the disk partition is lost. If I want to format again what should I do?
  If you have the Toshiba recovery disc in the past, you can use it as part of the new HARD drive. The Toshiba Recovery disk would fix the laptop back to factory settings, which means that you have installed Windows system, Toshiba drivers and additional software.

  > 2. The touchpad scrolling does not work everytime I turn on the laptop. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "unable to connect to the score. synaptics device driver.

  > I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.
  Go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the driver for the Synaptics touchpad. Install the touchpad driver and reboot the laptop. Usually, this should solve your problem.

  > 3. Whenever I turn on the laptop the bluetooth does not work and the bluetooth icon does not appear in the taskbar. I have to go to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, go to control panel > bluetooth local com and it works again. Whenever I turn on the laptop I have to do this.

  It's strange. Usually the BT should work if the BT stack has been installed correctly. Please note that you must activate the BT using the fn (FN + F8). This combination turns on and the WiFi also. So make sure you did it correctly.

  > 4. Whenever I turn on the laptop the Security Center is turned off and I have to turn it on or automatic updates are disabled and I have to turn them on.
