MS Flight Simulator 2004 on a Satellite A100-451 & external monitor

Hello, I have a A100-451 running Vista plus an external 19" 1280*1024 monitor. I have loaded FS 2004 OK.
Has anyone here any experience of using FS on a laptop with an external monitor ?, and what is the best way of setting up the 2 screens ?
Thanks
KK

Hi again :)
hm, would you like to use the second screen as a extension for your cockpit?? Usually it should be possible. A friend of mine set a full cockpit view with 3 TFTs on his desktop machine,
but I dont know how it is just with two screens.
Here is a link which could maybe give you some ideas with gaming on multiple monitors:

  • How to connect external speakers to Satellite A100-451

    Hello,
    I have a Satellite A100-451 (UK) running Vista. I want to connect external speakers. There is a 'headphones' jack on the front (3.5mm jack I think), can I connect external speakers here? The speakers are 'PC Line' with their own power supply and also have a 3.5mm jack plug).
    Thanks
    KK

    You need the audio Line-out put and the headphone jack provides this output.
    In other words you can use this jack to connect the external speakers

  • Cannot use LAN connection on Satellite A100-451

    I've just purchased a A100-451 but when i plug the LAN cable in none of the lights come on and I can't connect to the router or set up the network connection?
    Help please?

    I agree with Andrej.
    Additionally I would recommend checking the LAN cable if it was connected to the router correctly.
    Usually its not necessary to enable anything on the notebook. You have to plug simply the Lan cable to the notebook and the router should automatically assign the IP address to get the internet connection

  • MS Flight Simulator 2004 not recognizing 6600 GT as a device

    I'n having a problem with MS FS color resolution. When I launch it switches my color resolution to low which really messes up my graphics. When I view the display config screen there is no entry for my device (6600 GT) and I therefore cannot set my color resolution. Yet I am able to right click, go to properties and manually set the color resolution to high. I also would like someone to explain the relationship between Nvidia properties and XP properties tab for my monitor which happens to be a Microtek C997SD(19" LCD). Properties tab for XP has a generic PNP device while Nvidia properties tab has correctly identified monitor as Microtek. I expected to find the 6600 GT as the device to set my resolution in the config window. Also is it Ok to download drivers directly from NVidia or are we restricted to downloads only from MSI site? Nvidia has later drivers that what's available at MSI site. Thanks for any help!

    Download the latest nVidia Drivers
    Msi drivers usualy are old ones.

  • Satellite Pro A60: External monitor shimmers

    I use a Satellite Pro A60 with a second (tft) monitor as a dual display setup. When displaying dark backgrounds or images on the second monitor there is a very noticable horizontal shimmer that moves around on the screen.
    I have tested the monitor on another machine and it is fine, so I can only assume there is a problem with the notebook or the ATI graphics card.
    If anyone can help me solve this problem I would be very grateful, as it is giving me a headache (literally!).

    Hello andy
    I use external TFT at home with my Tecra and it works fine. The screen refresh rate for external TFT monitor must be set to 60 Hz. If the problem still persists there must be some other reason for this.
    I am pretty sure that non-Toshiba display driver can also be responsible for this issue but I hope that you use Toshiba designed driver for graphic card. You should also try to connect some other TFT or even CRT monitor and check if the same problem persists. If yes it is caused by graphic card and you should contact service partner. It is possible that graphic card must be exchanged.
    In my opinion this can not be solved by BIOS or other kind of update.
    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro L300 - External monitor has yellow tinge to screen

    I have connected a new external monitor to my Sat Pro L300 and the ext. monitor has a strong yellow tinge to the display.
    I have tried it with other monitors and cables and they do the same ie yellow display.
    Can anyone suggest anything I can do, I have tried changing all colour settings but they do not get rid of the yellow tint.
    thanks.

    Well, possibly this issue is related to the hardware malfunction since the display should show common colors without changing any settings in Color Settings in the Graphics Card Control Panel
    So in my opinion its hardware issue
    However, before asking a technician for a opinion I recommend updating the BIOS and reinstalling the graphic card driver.

  • Need WXP drivers for Satellite A100 (PSAA9)

    Hiya,
    I've had to re-install Windows XP on my laptop. I don't have the Toshiba drivers CD though.
    So I came here to get the drivers but I've no idea which driver goes with which hardware in my Device Manager.
    Here's what I need the drivers for under Device Manager...
    Ethernet Controller
    Mass Storage Controller
    Network Controller
    PCI Device
    PCI Device (again)
    SM Bus Controller
    Can anyone advise which specific driver I need for each?
    Many thanks,

  • Memory upgrade on a Satellite A100-912

    I own a Satellite a100-912 and I want to upgrade its memory!
    As it seems, this model supports only PC2-4200 DDR2 SODIMM modules (533 Mhz). Before bying a memory module that might regret, I want to know if there will be any compatibility issues if I use to this laptop PC2-6400 DDR2 SODIMM module (800 Mhz).
    Is it going to work even at lower clock speed (533 Mhz) or is it going to be a total waste of money?

    As far as I know the FSB is able to handle 667Mhz modules.
    You can use lower modules (533Mhz) without any problems but modules with higher Mhz will not run with full speed due to the limited FSB.
    So I dont recommend buying 800Mhz modules. Firstly they are not supported and secondly its waste of money!

  • Satellite A100-049 - CD ROM drive no longer found

    My satellite A100-049 no longer sees my CD rom drive, It won't auto play any discs, and when I double click a shortcut to a program that uses a disc it says 'no cd-rom drive found'.
    I've tried updating the driver but I already have the most up to date one. It was fine yesterday, before I installed Norton 360- I don't know if that has anything to do with it. My operating system is vista home premium.
    I really need help quickly as I'm going to university in under 3 weeks and the cd rom drive is vital to my course.

    Hi Michael
    Its very strange that your CD/DVD drive does not work longer after the Norton 360 installation. For me it looks like the Norton 360 has modified some registry keys and therefore the drive malfunctions.
    I would recommend removing the CD/DVD drive from the device manager.
    Then restart the notebook. After new reboot the windows OS should recognize the new hardware (CD/DVD drive) and should install it again.
    Then start the registry and remove the upper and lower filter values from this registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    then reboot and test again!
    Good luck and cheers dude ;)

  • Satellite A100-847 - upgrade advice

    Hello,
    I'm using Satellite A100-847 (PSAA9E) for almost two years now. 2 year warranty period be over in month, so I guees it is good time for an upgrade. I could use more RAM and a faster HDD (for CAD purposes mostly when I'm on the run) so I would like to know more about it.
    *What I already found out is that my notebook:*
    (please say if I'm wrong with something)
    1) ...Can take 2 modules of So-DIMM DDR2; max 4GB; which means 2X2GB. I already have 2X512GB, and this is not enough.
    - The question is which DDR2 memory!? The FSB is running on 667 MHz, so I guess I should buy PC-5300/667 or even 6400/800?
    - Which is the best memory for my notebook? The one which doesn't heat up a lot!? Which model is cool enough?
    2) ...Has a Hitachi Travelstar 5K100, 2.5", 5400RPM, 8MB cache, 100GB SATA drive. Capacity is enough for me, but it is way too slow. So I guess I should for a 7200RPM 16MB cache drive.
    - The question here is does my notebook support SATA2 or is it just SATA1? Which shlould I buy?
    - Does my notebook support 7200RPM drive?
    - Will my notebook overheat with this drive?
    3) ...Could have a more efficient cooling system. Is there any solution to this?
    Thank you in advance,
    adambar

    Hello
    Googling around Ive found follow information:
    The computer has two SO DIMMs slot comes standard with DDRII 4200 module. It
    supports PC2-4200 and uses SO DIMMs (DDRII SDRAM) driven at 1.8 V, accepting
    BTO/CTO for your memory requirements. It can incorporate up to 4 GB of main
    memory.
    Using the following sizes of memory modules:
    256 MB (16M168P)/533/667 MHZ
    512 MB (32M168P)/533/667 MHZ
    1024 MB (64Mx16x8P)/533/667 MHZ
    If you want to use maximum RAM you must use two 2 GB. Toshiba recommends using
    2 x 2 GB PA3513U-1M2G DDR2 RAM. Alternative to this RAM module are high quality Kingston memory modules.
    About HDD I can say follow:
    The HDD interface conforming to Serial ATA (for 40/60/80/100/120 GB).
    The computer accommodates one 2.5-inch HDD with any of the following storage capacities:
    40 GB (9.5 mm thick) SATA (5,400rpm)
    60 GB (9.5 mm thick) SATA (5,400rpm/7200rpm)
    80 GB (9.5 mm thick) SATA (5,400rpm/7200rpm)
    100 GB (9.5 mm thick) SATA (5,400rpm/7200rpm)
    120 GB (9.5 mm thick) SATA (5400rpm)
    As far as I know SATA2 is backward compatible and theoretically you can use it but I am not sure about that. If I were you I would by SATA1 HDD.
    As you can see Toshiba has tested 7200rpm HDDs with this notebook model and you can use it too.
    Overheat maybe not but I can imagine that plastic cover will be warmer than before. Be just sure the notebook is placed properly and nothing blocks cooling fan.
    More efficient cooling system? I dont know what you mean exactly butt you can try something like this .

  • Windows XP LAN driver needed for my Satellite A100-784

    I bought Satellite A100-784 with Windows Vista. I've removed Vista and installed Windows XP (taken from other non-Toshiba notebook)) and then SP2. Now I can't use the internet because there's no LAN driver. The drivers downloaded from this Toshiba site don't work.
    Any solution for me? I expect other problems to appear soon, with the sound and so on. Isn't there any pack of drivers for this model with WinXP?
    (I'd be very happy to get a quick restore disk with Windows XP in English but customer support won't provide any.)

    Hi
    Your A100 unit belongs to the PSAANE series.
    Toshiba European website provides two different XP Intel Lan driver versions:
    1. Intel LAN driver 8.0.43.0
    2. Intel LAN driver 9.2.24
    The first one 8.0.43.0 was designed for LAN Pro100 and the other 9.2.24 for LAN Pro1000
    Additionally I would recommend following the guidelines described in the installation instruction! The drivers must be installed in the right order.
