Equium A100-338 - bad performance after display driver installation

The display driver recently updated and since then the performance has been terrible, and the windows experience rating has gone right down. I can no longer use a lot of programs, and the internet and programs that are still working are running horrendously slow.
I have looked for the old driver, according to the dxdiag, and it is no longer available. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Original driver was :
Card name: Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family
Driver Name: igdumd32.dll
Driver Version: 7.14.0010.1350 (English)
New driver is :
Card name: Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family
Driver Name: igdumd32.dll
Driver Version: 7.14.0010.1504 (English)
I tried the roll back, but the driver had been installed prior to the earliest restore point. it took me a while to work out what the problem was.

  • Equium A100-338 - Flash Card not Responding

    Everytime I close down World of Warcraft something pops up in the top left hand corner (looks like it should be a window but only top bar showing) which reads 'Toshiba Flash Card (Not Responding)'. What can I do to stop this from happening?
    Im pretty sure it pops up throughout the game as well as I hear a ding.
    I have a Equium A100-338.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi,
    a solution can be disabling the flash card service if you dont need your flash drive.
    You can disable it just by following these steps:
    - Go into Start -> settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
    - Make a right click on "Smart Card" and left-click on "Properties"
    - In the window which pops up you have to stop the service and disable it with choosing "Disabled" at the option "Startup Type"
    After that your flashdrive service is disabled and you wont get that annoying errormessage anymore.
    (I hope so :O )

  • Equium A100-338 - Do I have to buy a recovery disk?

    Hi,
    I have a bit of a dilemma. The vista sticker on my Toshiba Equium A100-338 has worn out (was like that when I bought it). I upgraded my hard drive, installed Windows 7, then gave my old one away (forgetting it had the recovery partition on it). I want to sell the laptop so returning to its original state would be ideal.
    Toshiba said I must buy a recovery disc for 29.90, which is ridiculous. Can anyone else help me?
    Laptop details: Toshiba Equium A100-338 PSAAQE-006008AV
    Cheers

    Hi!
    If you want the factory settings back as the first time you started the notebook you have to buy a Toshiba recovery disk. This disk contains an image of the factory settings and so you can install the notebook in few minutes with all Toshiba drivers and tools.
    But I dont understand why this is ridiculous for you. I mean normally you get on Toshiba notebook with Vista after the first start a message that you should burn the recovery disk yourself. This takes only 10 minutes and you need only one or two DVD disks. I did this on my Toshiba notebook and I think you should take 10 minutes from your free time to do this too.
    However, nobody says that you have to buy the disk because you can also use a Microsoft disk and download the Toshiba stuff on the Toshiba page but therefore you need a lot of more time.
    Bye

  • Equium A100-338 - battery power problem

    Hi,
    My daughter has a Equium A100-338 bought in the UK 15 months ago, running Vista Home Premium. It has recently developed a problem with the battery life, which in theory should mean replacing the battery, but I'm not so sure!
    The battery runs down quickly to say 80% 6 mins remaining, about 20 minutes after a full charge. Then putting it on charge it recovers to 100% in about 20 minutes. The laptop does get rather warm underneath, but I think that's probably normal, my other daughter's older Equium gets warm just the same.
    Has anyone come across this issue, or is it just that it needs a new battery? I would have thought it should have lasted longer, as the other Equium's battery is still going strong and is a year older!
    Thanks
    Dave

    Hi
    Hmm I think you battery is not dead and can be used much longer as you think.
    I see youve got Vista on your notebook. This OS needs more notebook resources as the Win XP for example. This would also mean that the Vista preinstalled notebooks would run shorter on battery power as the notebook with Windows XP.
    Last but not least the battery working time depends strongly on the notebook usage.
    If you would play some games or would watch DVD movies then the battery would discharge faster.
    Regards

  • Re: Satellite P100-160 - Display driver installation failed

    Satellite P100-160, PSPAAE, vista 32 bit,
    Today Aero wasn't working and not available in graphics properties. Installed latest display driver from Toshiba UK site, Intel 15.0.1.1114. This version was actually older than my current driver but I thought that maybe as it was the only one availabel that it must be correct.
    The driver install failed with an error (no details just 'an error has occurred'). Now I have no aero and my display resolution cant be set above 1280x800 - should be 1440x900
    To say I am pisseed would be an understatement. Can anyone help? thanks

    Hey,
    If Aero is not available I dont think its display driver problem
    Anyway, have you removed the old display driver before you installed the new one? Go to device manager > right click on graphic card > uninstall. After reboot the display driver should be uninstalled and you can start with display driver installation.
    If you install drivers make sure you are logged in as Administrator and antivirus/firewall is disabled. Restart once again and you should be able to choose the native screen resolution now.
    Check this!!!

  • Equium A100-337: bad Vista performance - should I upgrade to XP?

    I have a brand new Equium A100-337 which came with Vista as standard.
    No games work properly (yes I've tried the emulator). The sound is dreadful and DVD's are virtually inaudible. The firewall switches itself off or crashes constantly. I keep on getting the message that Toshiba flash cards arent working - I don't even know what they are!
    Is all this normal?
    Would the XP installation solve my problems?

    Hi
    How about RAM upgrade. According to specification this notebook model is delivered with 512 MB of RAM. Very interesting is that graphic card is shared one and use RAM for graphic operations. I can imagine that performance is not the best one.
    This notebook model can handle with 4GB of RAM and I recommend you to upgrade RAM with additional 1GB module.
    I am pretty sure the performance will be much better. 512 MB is for me definitely not enough. The same is with WXP when unit has 256MB RAM only.

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA9E) - Can't install display driver for Windows 7

    I have a problem with installing official Toshiba Windows 7 x32 ATI x1600 driver.
    After unpacking it should install.exe be executed, I believe, but it's not; nothing happens. Going to Setup.exe with manual install, then I don't see Catalyst Control Center & Display Driver in the list, just Catalyst install Manager & vcredist. After installation these components (CCC & DD) are not present.
    Any ideas?
    P.S. Same problem with official Toshiba Vista32 ATI x1600 driver.

    Hi mate,
    Have you already installed other drivers for the notebook? I mean the chipset driver, this driver must be installed first.
    And are you sure that you have ATI display driver? Some Satellite A100 models were delivered with nVidia graphic card as far as I know.
    By the way, what happens if you install the driver manual in device manager via advanced installation?

  • Blank screen after display driver update Satellite Pro P200

    I installed the latest ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 display driver (8.432, from the Toshiba site via Tempo) on my Satellite Pro P200 yesterday. On rebooting everything looks fine as far as the Windows Vista Business "Please wait ..." screen, but instead of displaying the login page I get a blank screen (with a mouse cursor that moves around as normal). All I can do at this point is power off, and I've run out of ideas on how to get any further.
    Things I've tried:
    # booting into safe mode, low-resolution video or last known good configuration all result in the same blank screen.
    # connecting to the system using remote desktop (to disable the driver) isn't possible because the system hasn't loaded the network drivers yet.
    # I can't revert to a restore point because Vista can't find any (I made a manual one after installing windows updates on a couple of days ago).
    I can run a command prompt from the system recovery options and would prefer to use that to disable the driver +if+ I knew how before resorting to the more drastic options.
    A web search (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ati+catalyst+vista+blank+screen&hl=en&sa= N) reveals that this has happened on a wide range of laptops with
    previous releases of the driver, but none of the links I've looked at give a solution that's available to me.

    No joy with an external screen so I bit the bullet and reinstalled from the product recovery disk. I tried expert mode to retain the data partition but that failed twice, so I had to restore it from the previous day's backup after doing a full reinstall. Two consolations, though.
    # It allowed me to increase the size of the data partition.
    # The display driver update worked fine on the fresh install.
    Needless to say I've since found [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927525] which describes how you can disable a problem device driver (atikmdag in my case) from the system recovery command prompt :-(
    Hopefully the instructions in there will help anybody who gets caught with similar problems.

    I was wondering if my A200-196 has bluetooth (linux seems to think so). What dfoes the bluetooth label look like? I have several labels including WiFi and lan addresses and a funny blue one mostly in Chinese.
    There is a long machine configuration number which may be helpful:-

    I would like to know as am considering purchase of a bluetooth GPS and it would be helpful if I do not need to add a bluetooth adapter.

  • Satellite A300-24x: Win XP display driver installation issue

    I can't install display driver.
    I got the message:
    +This computer does not meet minimum requierements for instaling the software+
    +setup will exit+
    All other drivers are installed.

    Hi
    Where did you download the display driver?
    Normally if you download the drivers on the Toshiba website they are working properly because they are pretested from Toshiba.
    I assume you have downloaded a driver for another model or chipset so check the Toshiba page:

  • Fresh Win7, freeze while rebooting after video driver installation

    Yesterday when I opened my laptop it froze while booting when the Win7 logo appears. Rebooted in safemode, all was good, didn't know what to look for exactly.
    Today, I decided it was time for a new Win7 reinstall so I did it. Also, did a complete format of my SSD where I keep only my OS.
    While it was rebooting after installing the AMD video driver it froze again, in the same spot. Restarted the laptop, chose last known good config and noticed in device manager that one of the video cards had error 43 (Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43))
    I tried to install the driver for Intel then, but I got an error saying my laptop does not have the minimum requierments (even for older versions of the driver)
    I tried every possible combination of installing, uninstalling, enabling, disabling one of the cards.
    When I install the AMD driver, the Intel driver installs itself too.
    When I leave AMD graphics  enabled, it freezez at Win7 logo while booting,
    When I disable AMD and leave just Intel enabled, then it boots normally, but right after the reboot, device manager shows them both with yellow triangle and "!" with error "This device cannot work properly until you restart your computer. (Code 14)", and of course, if I reboot then it freezes again.
    I have already spent 10h on this and couldn't find a way to fix it.

    Hi 
       Using Advanced boot options  ( F8 at start up )  go into Safe Mode with Command prompt , Once Safe mode loads with command prompt type      rstrui.exe           hit Enter   ....        This will take you into  System Restore ...  Follow the onscreen instructions to Restore your system to the time  before the AMD driver was installed .    You can choose from multiple restore points  if they have been created by you or your system .

  • Driver Downloading for Equium A100 338

    Being a Computer Novice i need help with download drivers for my computer. Using device manager i have found that i have no drivers for Video Controller, Video Controller (VGA Compatible), SM Bus Controller, Modem Device on High definition Audio Bus & Ethernet Controller.
    I Have visited the driver page for my model: (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK&mode=allMachi nes&action=search&teddProduct=710)
    And have downloaded mostly every driver on the page, but still it shows missing drivers on device manager.
    If anyone knows where to find the drivers or if I'm going wrong somewhere, your help would be appreciated. :)

This document will help you to install all this stuff in the right order and following this list you will not forget some of them.
    Just follow the list and install all stuff offered on the download page. If you have more problems please post again.

    Hi everyone,?my Soundcard is aprinted on the bill ---> ? Creative (B) SB Li've Player 5.printed on the card --->Creative?Labs SoundBlaster Li've! 5. Digital? with Emu0K-JFF chip? and Modelnumber? SB0220which I own since 2003 and my System iswinXP Media Center Edition?, msi KT4Ultra Mainboard and an athlonXP2000+ , GB ddr ram and a Radeon9800Pro with usb keyboard & mouse?I've searched this forum and those threads above the thread-list but it didn't help me out. I am concerning about the recent performance of my pc , especially when it comes to sounds in games. At?"Counterstrike .5" my pc hangs for about half a second or less if I use those "radio commands" like Go-Go-Go or Need-Backup, sometimes if other players use them. Sometimes it does those stupid things like?described below.At "Mercedes Benz World Racing" I recognized that if I hit a Sign or sth else that won't move, it plays a loud sound, as everyone can expect if u hit those things. From that on i can't control my car anymore, well, in fact I am able to, but the controls I?do with my keyboard are ... i would say "buffered" and "doubled" ---- Hit the sign -> immediately
    or after that press back to reverse -> car dri'ves about 00-200 meters back, other controls I?do are added after that with delay of each about 2-3 seconds and can't be stopped. I turned down the volume of those sounds and it worked a while, but I am not allowed to increase volume of my pc, else it will go like that again. It results in minimal to zero global sound at this game... My Windows is about 4 months old and I cant find drivers for my soundcard. I've installed the drivers from my creative-cd that came together with my soundblaster. I have downloaded a few driver packages from the creative homepage in earlier times but it is always a try-and-cry to get the proper drivers installed. And?I cant remember which?I had installed?years before. That's my current?c:\windows\system32\drivers\ctaud2k.sys (5.2.0.0252-.3.020, 87,92 KB (837.548 Bytes), 27.09.2007 02:3)?I am not sure which driver?I have installed, but I don't want to?do testing anymore, aswell as searching the creative website like I did several times before, sorry, but it does make me really really really mad and angry.One driver doesn't provide the real bass and the other let's my cthelper use 99% usage, all others are not compatible to my card. Those problems occured the first time for about year or later. At the moment there are no IRQ-conflicts. Please tell me whats wrong here or help me find the right driver.

    I have been having the same trouble since I upgraded to XP about three years ago.
    Now I have a new system and like you said I want to dedicate this older mechine to being a media pc and started looking into things again.
    I wanted to update drivers and see that I missed an update in July of 03 or I could use a new patch but my drivers are from march of 03 and I can't find the other update.
    Come on SB where is the support we pay a premium to get.
