M30X-124: Power Saver image in the system tray disappeares.

Hi,
I own a Satellite M30X-124 with Windows XP SP2. When installing Toshiba Power Saver everything works just until suddently the image in the system tray disappeares. I then have to reinstall the Toshiba Power Saver (TPS) for everything to work as intended.
By now, I have approx. reinstalled TPS 5 times. Does anyone know a solution or at least the problem?
Greetz,
Micha

Hello
Well, I think its not a Power Saver malfunction. I assume that the option Hide inactive icons in the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties is marked.
Move the mouse pointer to the Taskbar then right click. There you should see the Taskbar properties. There you can disable the option Hide inactive icons.
Bye

  • Firefox installation made my power saver function misfire - the system goes down after a few minutes of inactivity but then comes right back on again after a few seconds.

    My power management scheme: turn off monitor after 2 min of inactivity; turn off hard discs after 5 min of inactivity. doesn't work reliably anymore. Usually, with Firefox installed, the system powers down after the preset times but then comes right back on again after a few seconds. If I restart the machine, my selected power management scheme works properly for a few cycles but then reverts to the mode of turning back on after a few seconds after having shut down.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  • Toshiba Power saver may be the problem

    My Satellite A665-S6050 has had all of the symptoms you read about in these forums;
    crash, freeze, hung, locked, BSOD, Windows crash errors, etc.
      I bought the laptop new a couple years ago and both love it and hate it when it exhibits
    its freezing behavior. This is the intel I-3, 4 GB ram, Windows 7(64 bit) version. Really nice
    when it's running normally.
      I have watched and read through hundreds of posts throughout these forums since my purchase.
    I have never sent the laptop back to Toshiba. Primarily because I've been able to force power off
    then on, go to safe mode, schedule a disk scan on the next power up, reboots normally and I'm good
    for who knows how long.
      Following suggestions you can read in these forums, I have upgraded the Intel HD graphics display driver.
    I install Windows updates every time they come available(auto update is enabled). I've updated the
    Toshiba bios. I've updated Firefox every time it is available(my favorite browser). Updated java and
    flash(again automatic updates). Some user settings that I've changed; I've disabled sleep mode(set it
    to 'never' under 'advanced power settings) in every power scheme I have. I only use 'High Performance'
    power scheme(plan). I have the setting for turning off the hard drive set to 'never'. My rational for doing
    this is there is just too much going on under Windows 7, all the time. You never know what's running in the
    background. Many times as the laptop freezes and or Windows tries it's best to recover, I get a strong feeling
    that the hard drive has shut off! Especially, when Windows is trying to save a dump but can't because it can't
    access hd0(hard drive)(I have to force power cycle off/on to recover).
      This brings me to my current state of this troubleshooting saga. The last time the laptop froze, I was watching
    streaming video in one Firefox window and had a slide show playing in another Firefox window(2 windows, not
    2 tabs). Then in the lower right corner I get the Toshiba power saver notification that it is shutting down the
    optical drive. It goes away on it's own in about 10 seconds. But immediately everything gets real slow until every
    freezes. Windows tries to save a dump but can't. Windows tries to reboot itself but can't. Shows me a screen to
    modify the boot list because the hd0 is not available. So, as so many times before I have to hold the power
    button down for force power off. Wait a few, then power on, do my thing with safe mode, check disk, etc.
    Power up and boots normally. Runs great for who knows how long. Right now as I type this, I have a audio CD
    in my optical drive with Windows Media player set to 'replay' continuously. This I hope will prevent the 'Toshiba
    power saver' from getting triggered because the optical drive is not idle and therefore won't shut off the hard
    drive too! I have no idea how I can prove that 'Toshiba Power saver' is causing these freezes, crashes, lock ups,
    etc. But at least if I can keep the optical drive in use and therefore prevent the 'power saver' from kicking in
    maybe I can eliminate that as a possible cause of the freezes.
      I am really disappointed to read so many Toshiba owners sending their computers to Toshiba service
    hoping and praying for resolution but getting no satisfaction in the end. I love my Toshiba and I'll keep it.
    I am a recreational user. Don't need to save power. When I use my computer, I want it to function as
    powerful as possible until I intentionally perform a normal Windows shutdown.
      My employer supplies me with a laptop (different brand). It has Intel I-5 chip, 3 GB ram Win XP Pro..
    I run that computer full speed 9 -10 hours a day and I may have to reboot maybe once every other week.
    Not bad considering the abuse I put it through. I would hate to have to rely on this Toshiba for work. I
    don't think it could stay fully operational for that period of time.
      Please Toshiba, tell me how I can help with the troubleshooting of this seriously pervasive problem on
    so many of your computers. Is there an event log I can provide? Windows dump files(when they do get
    saved)?  Help me help you resolve this problem and satisfy hundreds of your customers.
    Thank you in advance for your time.
    Doug

    Jerry,
      It happened again this afternoon. This is the first time my system froze since the last time
    I reported here in the forum. And just like I reported earlier, Toshiba Power Saver turned off
    the optical drive power, I saw the pop-up in the lower right corner to notify me of the event.
    I had Toshiba 'PC Health Monitor' running and minimized. I clicked on the icon to restore it
    to the desktop. It displayed as expected. The hard drive graphic looked normal and spinning
    as usual. I clicked on the graphic of the spinning hard drive and expected 'Power Options' to
    display. Instead my desktop went away(all icons, system tray, system notification area, launch
    pad, etc), everything gone. The graphic of the spinning hard drive stopped spinning. I tried a
    CTL+ALT+DEL and got a new pop-up from Windows that it couldn't respond and I had 2 options;
    press ESC or hold the power button down to force power and a shutdown. Which is what I eventually
    did.
      Powered up, went to safe mode, scheduled disk check on the next restart. Disk check runs and
    finds no problem. System runs normally again.
      As far as finding these events in the Windows logs using 'Event viewer', is not going to help.
    I know exactly what time this all took place. I just can't find any event log showing that it took
    place. There's a small gap in the time stamps just before the event until a few minutes after the
    event. Then I see a mixture of 'errors' and 'information' events after the power on and restart
    but nothing specifically addressing the hard drive before the restart.
    I see an event log; "Previous shutdown was not expected". I'm sure that's not what your asking
    to see.  I don't know if it would be possible to trace the 'Toshiba Power Saver' but that may be
    the only way I could prove my point that it is shutting off power to both the optical drive and
    the hard drive at the same time.
    Is there a way to disable or remove Toshiba Power Saver without causing a more serious problem?
    Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.
    Doug.

  • Sending an image to the system clipboard

    I've been trying to figure out how I can send an image to the system clipboard. At this state I'm beginning to think it's just not possible. This is the case:
    I've got an applet running in a browser which creates a new window. I now want to copy the contents of this window to the system clipboard. So far I can only transfer text to the clipboard, but what I need is to copy a screenshot of the new window to the system clipboard.
    Does anybody know how this can be done with Java or any kind of scripting language?

    Since I already found the answer I rewarded 2 people for there help. This is the answer I found. Some code was found on the JDC Forum, but I can't remember who posted it or where I found it. So sorry that I can't give him credit...
    Using JDK 1.4 the code could look like this:
    -> This is how the policy file should look like:
    grant
    { permission java.awt.AWTPermission "accessClipboard";
    permission java.awt.AWTPermission "createRobot";
    permission java.awt.AWTPermission "readDisplayPixels";
    -> This is the code for the applet:
    import java.awt.*;
    public class ClipboardTest extends java.applet.Applet {
    public void init() {
    initComponents();
    initialiseer();
    private void initComponents() {
    setLayout(new java.awt.BorderLayout());
    public void initialiseer() {
         // Here I create the actual frame that I can send to the clipboard
    MySystemClipboard cb = new MySystemClipboard();
    cb.setBounds(200,200,200,200);
    cb.setVisible(true);
    -> And here is the code for MySystemClipboard:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.awt.image.*;
    import java.awt.datatransfer.*;
    public class MySystemClipboard extends Frame implements ActionListener,

  • Settings: Why are basic webservices settings not included (i.e. OneDrive behavioural settings are hidden in the system tray)?

    What is the idea of a new control panel if you can not in fact get an overview or kind of dash board?
    Settings includes PC+Cloud, i.e. Accounts let you do settings for the cloud, i.e. connect to your live account.
    But why are basic webservices settings not included (i.e. OneDrive settings is in the system tray)?
    Great consolidation is happening now between settings, control panel - i.e. getting rid of obfuscation, blur and complexity between legacy settings (control panel) and actual kind of settings. However do not recreate the problem by leaving the
    next step of integrating cloud settings across the middleware. What is the idea of a new control panel if you can not in fact get an overview or kind of dash board?

    Hi,
    Interesting issue, what about other configuration or settings? Do they work fine or keep reverting after a reboot? Have you tested this issue in another user account? What is the result?
    Regarding to unable to save settigs for current user hive, I doubt whether there's an application you installed recently or an malware\virus changes the permission of registry entry or value of registry keys like
    HKCU\Software\Classes which causes this issue.

    Hmm... I don't understand. Nothing is reverting after a reboot, as well I'm
    not unable to save settings in the current user's hive. The correspondent registry keys can be saved perfectly fine and they are
    deleted, not reverted after a reboot. I pointed to the exact code that does it, the code is located in Microsoft DLL with all certificates and digital signatures intact. Permissions obviously don't matter, since svchost.exe is executed with the highest
    integrity level and under the System user account, the keys in question inherit permissions, which allow System to do whatever it needs without restrictions
    by default, you can't change it to allow more.
    So can you explain how it can be some malware?
    The issue is intermittent, I don't have a 100% repro, therefore “testing” under another user account is doubtful.

  • Is there a way to run iTunes on startup minimized directly to the system tray?

    Ive been trying to tweak registry and even created a .bat file in order to fix this but still not working.
    Since iOS 5 can sync wirelessly, is there a way to run iTunes on windows startup minimized directly to the system tray?
    Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Correction...
    It's a bit of a kludge, but copy the following two lines and paste into an empty Notepad window. Click Save As, change the Save as file type to All files and call the script MinimiTunes.vbs. Place the script or a shortcut to it into your startup group. iTunes will still open as full screen but will minimize shortly thereafter.
    Set iTunes=CreateObject("iTunes.Application")
    iTunes.Windows.Item(1).Minimized=True
    Alternatively, download the script MinimiTunes from my site.

  • Track down the culprit that resets the system tray customization in Windows 7

    The question is duplicated from http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/track-down-the-culprit-that-resets-the-system-tray/7cff4c95-4d08-4a7f-b29d-ce67d8cd6247 as suggested by a support engineer.
    Hi Almighty All,
    For a while I'm experiencing problems with my system tray. Something regularly resets my customization, i.e. after reboot sometimes all icons that I marked as to show always are hidden again. I found out that the reason is that something erases HCU\Software\Classes\Local
    Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify.
    I decided to find out what is responsible. I turned on auidt policy for objects, then I setup audit for HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify. The next time the icons customization was reset I found out
    that HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify was cleared again and on top of that the audit settings were gone! So I thought maybe something just removed the whole key altogether with the audit settings on the
    way.
    My next attempt was to set audit on HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software and just let Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify inherit it. The next time the icons customization was reset I found out that HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify
    was cleared again and on top of that the audit settings were gone again! Something removed the whole HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software?
    The Event Log points out to one of the svchost.exe processes, which is just a container for the whole bunch of different services.
    Any idea how to find out what service is responsible?
