• Satellite L300-20W - DVD will not play

  Satellite L300-20W.
  Laptop CD in WMP fine plays.
  However if I try to play a DVD I get the message "Windows Medial Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer."

  If I try to use a Toshiba DVD player, a box opens (with clouds in there) and almost immediately I get the message "Toshiba DVD Player has stopped working" and then "Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available," but of course he never advise me.

  Any help much appreciated. (Old man and not very technical)
  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Regarding the error code: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer. »

  It seems that your Windows Media Player does not have the necessary plugin DVD decoder that allows you to watch DVDs.
  See this MS knowledge base article:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306331

  I also recommend to install a codec that allows you to watch other videos stored in other formats.
  K - lite Mega Codec Pack is free and contains all the codecs.

  If you are not able to use the Toshiba DVD software you must reinstall this tool.
  I think that the most recent version is released on the European driver Toshiba page.

• Satellite L300 and high temperature - is this normal?

  Greetings

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L300 - 11 (Intel celeron 550), I\m kind new to laptops, and I realize it's too hot. I used the CPUID hardware monitor software, and it shows that:
  -ACPI THRM temperatures going as high as 63c (145f)
  -the processor is going up to 65 c (148f)
  -the HARD disk goes up to 45 c (112f)

  My questions are: is this normal for a laptop to reach these temperatures? I mean the touchpad and the area around it is annoyingly hot all the time (especially in the summer time where its already hot weather)
  Other models or brands have similar temperatures?

  And is it a Toshiba tool to monitor temperatures, rather than using third-party software?

  Thanks for any help.

  I don't know much about the temperature of the Celeron processor.

  My Toshiba L300 came with Hitachi 120 GB HDD, CPU T2370 upgraded to T7100:
  -HDD: max: 45 (watching ripped DVD on hard disk), 30 min (surf the internet, play warcraft III), average: 38 (using Microsoft, Photoshop and programming tools)
  -CPU: 43 to 57, penalty going up to 63.
  -ACPI: Min: Max: 43: 56

  Hope that these figures will give you some tips.

• Satellite L300 and WXP - driver Webcam open fail

  Hello

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L300 with no OS installed. I managed to install windows XP and all the sounds/videos... drivers successfully, but after installing the driver for the webcam appears an error that says: Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.

  I rebooted the computer several times, but it still does not work. Please help me.

  Hi, I'm having a similar problem (see previous thread), you can actually see the webcam in Device Manager? There is also a known issue if it's just the driver, do a search on this forum, it seems to be a common problem.

  Kind regards

• Screen flickers on Satellite L300 and I am unable to create a recovery disk

  Hi all

  I just bought a model L300 PSLB0C 08R08C number.
  I was unable to create a recovery disk, I was getting an error message saying it cannot create disk because it is scratched or has dirt on it, I lost 5 nine DVD.

  I am went to the store and replaced by another unit, but had the same problem (I have not tried a different brand of DVD well)

  Second issue with this device, the screen flashes once whenever it is in a shutdown state.
  Number 3, the wireless card disappears from the Device Manager, until I restart.
  Laptop made in China ;-)

  Any suggestions are much apprecaited

  Hello

  It is indeed strange that you were unable to create a recovery disk, and that the problem has resurfaced, even after permutation of the laptop with another unit of the store. However, if you have not tried a different brand of DVD so I suggest that if the laptop asks the disc is scratched or has dirt on it. I'm not sure if toshiba factory in fact blank DVDs, but if they do, it would be a starting point, as one would expect hardware toshiba would happily work with their own brand DVD media. However, if you can't find toshiba dvd then use another trust mark, for example, Imation and TDK. with my experience, I have tried many brands of DVD and have found very reliable TDK.

  regarding the second question, this may be related to the graphics card in the system, or could be due to the performance of the computer laptop itself. Check that you have the latest driver for your graphics card and all the settings on the computer are optimized / hard drives are defragmented and deleted unnecessary files. with your third question, this question could also be related to driver problems, check your regional drivers toshiba site for the latest drivers again. failing this, I would back up your data and then restore to a factory condition, then install the drivers immediately. I hope this info can help you somehow.

  Welcome to the forums and please leave helpful points or correct answer for any useful advice that has been given in response to your problems (e.g. to read the forum rules)

• Satellite L300 and slow internet

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba L300. This week, I installed a Windows Update. Therefore, my internet is very slow. On a www.slowinternet.com Web page I read an article saying that the network drivers could be the cause of an internet slow.

  But I have my doubts on this subject, because I guess that Windows does not update the network drivers for Toshiba, I'm wrong. So, what else can cause this problem?

  Thanks for your time and help,

  Frank

  Hi Frank

  Can you please tell us more about the whole issue?
  Are you using a LAN or WLAN connectivity?

  What type of update you installed?

  Have you tried to roll back the OS to an earlier time before that you have installed this update to check if the problem will be solved?

• Satellite L300-H02: DVD/CD player don't work no-error message 39

  Hi all

  I just bought a Toshiba laptop, Vista Premium Edition family and after a massive Windows Update to download, DVD-CD player didn't work. Error message 39, driver damaged or missing. The driver isn't missing, so it must be corrupted. Am savvy with regedit on the dismantling of upper and lower filters in the registry, except haven action t deleting again, because he doesn t seem to be a upper filter listed. Only the lower filter.

  The information also indicates that you may lose functionality in certain programs such as CD recording programs. In this scenario, you must reinstall the affected programs. which is a problem, because Vista etc. has already been loaded and any other software provided with the laptop.

  I have a little chicken to go ahead and remove the lower filter registry entry, not because there are no upper entry to remove, I have heard some people cannot write to CD after removing the filters in the registry of m.

  Where can I get information about the CD-rom drive for this model: pslboa - 08 h 022?

  It is not any information about it in system information.

  Thanks in advance people, Anniebird

  Hello

  Did you follow instructions of this http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ8101LA0000R01.htm document?

  Solutions for Windows XP Home and Vista edition may be the same, but I think there must be some different details.

• Satellite L300 and error 0xc000000f

  I had the windows did not start error. A recent hardware or software...
  Say that you need to repair Windows installation disc.
  File: \windows\system32\winload.exe
  Status: 0xc000000f
  Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.
  Enter = continue
  ESC = exit

  I can't start mode without failure or something like that. I have not upload anything recently or change anything. Just tried to start one day and got it. I have only the option of F2 or F12

  OK, so I used my restore disc and went through "windows is loading files" up to the end of and then Microsoft corporation. It is not even asking for the language. Then nothing. Black screen with white cursor. Nothing helps. The cursor moves when controlled with mouse pad, but that's all. I can't use ctrl + alt + del or something else to get out. Please can someone help me with this. I have some documents that I'd rather not see it go. Are there other options apart from resetting to the factory settings?
  Thanks in advance for your help.

  > Are there other options apart from resetting to the factory settings?
  If I've understood your right to post you cannot install recovery image.
  What happens when you press F8 at startup? You can enter advanced startup options?

  If you have some important documents stored on the HARD drive and then connect as another external to the other PC then you can all copy them to the PC.

  What you can do?
  Try to get somewhere Microsoft installation disc to see if the same problem occurs again. If you will not be able to launch the installation of operating system with this disc of facilities I assume that HDD is troublemaker and you must test the features with the other.

  Maybe some friend of you has a 2.5 HDD so you can use it for testing purposes.

  In the end, I have to say that most strange thing in this whole thing, is that you cannot use same disc of recovery for the installation of the OS. For me it is the best proof that there must be some hardware problem.

• Satellite L300 and error recovery

  Hi all

  When you use the recovery disk I get the following error: HDD01 is missing.
  The laptop was fine before recovery

  See you soon

  Rob

  Love all here: _
  If you are not able to recovery the laptop because your HDD recovery option doesn't work more or because you t n t have the recovery disc, then you have two options;

  You order a new Toshiba Recovery disk, or you use the original Microsoft disc to reinstall the Windows operating system.
  But there is little difference between the Toshiba recovery disc and the disc of Microsoft;
  TOSHIBA disk contains all the tools and the driver Toshiba but MS disk contains only a Win OS and you will have to download and reinstall also the tools and the driver of Toshiba.

  Good bye

• Satellite L300-1AY DVD recovery hangs at startup

  I'm trying to recover my system from the recovery disks.
  I created them since installing Vista from Toshiba.
  Recovery has worked for me before. But now, there is just a black screen (and a restart after a while).

  I gues this has to do with the partitions of hard drive that I have modified/deleted the original.
  I do some partitions before I run recovery? Or do I have to remove them all before you start the recovery disk?

  Or I have to do something to force the recovery disk in repartition my hard disk?

  Hello

  I guess you used the recovery, Toshiba disc creator to create a recovery disk is right?

  Back to your question;
  The recovery disk would be to format the HARD drive and erase the partitions automatically if there s anything and how many partitions have been created.

  But good course in some cases, the recovery could crashes due to HARD drive problem
  You have a Win XP disk? If so, try to boot from this drive and format the HARD drive again then use the Toshiba Recovery disk and try to install Vista.

  Good luck

• I have a Toshiba satellite l300 and I get the BSOD

Thank you

  Hello

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop in safe mode or safe mode with networking?
  2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

  Method 1
  I suggest you try the steps from the following link:

  How to fix BlueScreen (STOP) errors that cause Windows Vista to shut down or restart unexpectedly
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/958233

  Method 2
  I suggest you to run the disk check.

  Check your hard drive for errors
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

  Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  Method 3
  If the steps above fail, then I suggest allows you to perform system restore Win RE mode using Windows vista disk.

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  Note: Installation sometimes a driver or a program can make Windows run slowly or erratically. System Restore can return programs and system files from your PC to a time where everything worked, potentially prevent hours of troubleshooting of headaches. This will not affect your documents, images or other data.
