• TOSHIBA Power Saver on Satellite A300 PSAGCE with Vista OS

  I just bought my new satelitte, but now I see that the best tool of the old line of Satelite is missing!
  ENERGY SAVING! I am running vista at the moment, but power saver is not what it seems!
  I was wondering if it's true, or it just nog is there in my language!

  If there isn't, I would suggest Toshiba, bring it back, but it is a most useful tool, mutch better then one that is standard on windows vista!
  If anyone has a solution, I would be happy to hear from you of course!

  PS I tried to install the version of windows XP witch that I downloaded from the Toshiba site, but it does not work on Vista of course!

  Hello

  Energy saver is installed under Vista too, and you can find it under:
  Start Options system & maintenance Power Control Panel > select a settings change plan Plan to modify the power Toshiba Power Saver advanced settings V.xxx settings

  As you can see that the parameters are not like before as Windows XP Home edition. The fact is that most of the settings is now controlled by Vista and Toshiba power saver has no great influence in the settings of power as before.

• Impossible to install Vista on Satellite A300 PSAGCE - not ACPI compliant

  Hello

  I'm recovering the laptop from a friend.
  He has installed Windows XP on its Satellite A300 PSAGCE and concluded that of course XP 32-bit Windows does not support the full functionality of the laptop.

  Now I wanted to reinstall Vista that came with it. I have two recovery DVD but when I wanted to start them (them two DVDs) I always get the error message that the system is not fully ACPI-compatible.

  Now of course this laptop should work with Vista and the provided restore DVD should work as well, no?
  I tried to download a Bios nw, but it seems 1.10 is the most recent.

  I also can't find all the ACPI settings in the BIOS that I could activate.

  Could someone help me?
  It is really urgent and driving me crazy!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Strange! Usually, if you have created the DVD recovery Toshiba using the TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator then everything should work correctly and you should be able to install Vista on this A300!

  I put t know if you have changed something in the BIOS or elsewhere, but you should access the BIOS and should define the default settings.
  Then try to boot from the recovery DVD Toshiba again.

  Good luck

  I'm in the process of Windows XP on a Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAGCA-09U01N.

  I downloaded all the drivers and install them, and now I'm trying to install all the application/utilities toshiba so that they all work.
  I tried installing them in diffirent orders but continue to flock to the top with the same problem.

  The [FN] + [F1-12] (Hotkeys) are not this what do here as it should be, and some of them do any work as [FN] + [F2] and [FN] + [F6-7].

  Anyone know the right order in which they are installed or offer any help?

  I downloaded my form of drivers here: http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/notebooks/satellite/a300/psagca-09u01n/download?os=22

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  You need to install TOSHIBA common Module
  The common Module software is required and must be installed first.
  In my case it worked properly on another laptop from Toshiba!

  Should use it if you are running Win XP

• Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA-03C010 - downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hello

  I'm really new to all this, so I hope that will not ask a question that has already been answered :)

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 (model PSAGCA-03C010) in October 08. It came with a preinstalled version of Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Initially, using Vista was not too bad, but it happened at a point now where his things slows down and is really frustrating. Want to downgrade (/ upgrade) go back to Windows XP and I want to know the "implications" of this and if the Toshiba Utilities are consistent and will work with XP.

  First of all, can I use my ID current product that came with Vista and it enter the product ID when I install XP?

  Also, I am concerned about the Wi - fi, bluetooth, finger scan and HDMI applications - will this work with XP?

  Finally, when I created the "recovery disk", should everything go 'bad' when installing XP or if something does not work, can I use this recovery disc to return to the original "out of the box" installation?

  Thanks in advance and again once, apologies if these qns have already answered in other posts (im not too technical).

  Tools and Vista drivers are not compatible with Win XP. If you want to install Win XP and want to use all the features of the laptop you must make sure that the Win XP drivers are available for this model of laptop.

  Satellite A300 PSAGCA seems to be an Australian model. The drivers are placed here:
  http://www.ISD.Toshiba.com.au

  I checked this and found a few tools and drivers for this device.

  > First of all, can I use my ID current product that came with Vista and it enter the product ID when I install XP?
  No, you can not use it because it belongs to the Vista operating system preinstalled on your laptop.

  > Finally, when I created the "recovery disk", should everything go 'bad' when installing XP or if something does not work, can I use this recovery disc to return to the original "out of the box" installation?
  Yes, the recovery disk allows to reverse the laptop back to factory settings.
  You will get the same as on the first day of purchase

  > Can anyone clarify this for me.

  You are right that the last digit or the letter designates the region. Then E means Europe and Australian way.

  It s an Australian series for Toshiba laptop and, therefore, you need to download the drivers from Toshiba Australian page

  The BSOD may be a result of not fully compatible drivers

• Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA: how to install Win XP as 2nd OS

  Hey any reader for the first time and shows for the first time.
  My comp is the Satellite A300 PSAGCA-02U010

  You 2 questions, hopefully someone can help me with.

  The issue of the first: like many people, I hate Vista.
  How can I run XP as a second OS that don't live my warranty?

  2. the volume level is not very strong (sound) when you watch a DVD etc. I tried different settings, and every time I do I have to restart to take effect, which is a pain that vista is slow to restart. I have downloaded the driver, but noticed that it is exactly the same as what is installed already :(

  See you soon

  > How can I use as a second OS XP who don't live my warranty?
  Installing programs or operating system would not avoid the warranty!
  You can install the Win XP as second OS without fear.

  But before install you anything, I would recommend the Toshiba recovery disc creation!

  With regard to the sound:
  As far as I know the parameters which are changes in the player are not not in trouble. You must increase the volume of every time when you start the software again.
  But have you tested different actors? For example, VLC player is a simple and free tools.
  I recommend to test

• How to install XP in Satellite A300-1BI with Vista

  Hello

  A few days ago, I bought a Satellite A300-1BI with Windows Vista preinstalled. I don't like this OS and I want to degrade for Windows XP and also install my Ubuntu Linux distribution, but I cannot install lame of them because the hard disk appears as "not connected" on men to install XP and Ubuntu... It seems that the laptop is made ONLY for Vista and I think that it's... pathetic...

• Can I use European 2.1 BIOS update for Satellite A300 PSAGCA?

  Hello

  My toshiba's Satellite A300 PSAGCA-02Y010, bought in September 2008.
  I want BIOS update latest version 2.10 for windows 7, but in the Web of Toshiba-NZ site, I can only find the version 1.9, I find 2.10 for A300 Toshiba Europe, but Europe models are all different from NZ.

  My question is: could I use this BIOS 2.10 europe in my toshiba A300 nz? Thank you.

  Hello

  I would not recommend using a BIOS that is not released for your laptop model.
  There are a lot of different series for laptop on the market.

  You must use the BIOS that is designed exactly for the portable model!
  As you know, the BIOS update is a reasonable process and can damage the ROM chip using BIOS wrong!

• Win7 drivers for Satellite A300 PSAGCE

  Toshiba will support win7 for Satellite A300 PSAGCE?
  If so it will be soon? There is no driver for this model how is it?

  Satellite A300 will be definitely supported, but no one knows for sure when the Win7 drivers for some this model will be available.
  Every day there are more pilots. From time to time check the support page. I think that these days, pilots should be there.

• Re: Satellite A300-145 with Vista 32 maximum RAM?

  Hi all!

  I have satellite A300-145 with Vista 32 home Premimume - now on laptop installed 2 modules of 1 GB of RAM (for mode dual channel)

  Q: if I replace the RAM to 2 modules of 2 GB of RAM this mode dual channel still & 4 GB RAM?
  -May support A300-145 4 GB RAM? and Vista 32? (Intel GM965 chipset have support 4GB RAM)

  Hello

  Satellite A300-145 was equipped with a Mobile Intel GL960 Express Chipset. Or I m wrong?
  AFAIK this chipset provides only the 2 GB support

  > If I replace the RAM to 2 modules of 2 GB of RAM this mode dual channel still & 4 GB RAM?
  32 bit Vista will recognize only about 3.2 GB.

• Satellite L40 - 139 with the combination FN + volume problem

  Hello
  at first, I want to say sorry for may English. It's so good, but I'll try to explain my probblem.
  Yesterday I installed the XP system and everything works fine. After installation I can't press FN with the volume I want to say, some with works of function FN buttons, but some of them don't work. Only those function don't switch (FN + volume) volume of work and increase the volume level up/down(FN+ up/down arrow)

  Someone know how to fix/repair it?

  Marcin

  Satellite L40-139 belongs to the * PSL40E * series.
  Where did you find the Toshiba XP drivers for this laptop series?

  To my knowledge at THIS time the XP drivers are not released on the Toshiba driver page and so I guess that a driver missing XP or is not compatible BIOS might be the reason for you question.

  I think you have to wait until all drivers XP and BIOS XP will be available for you series!
