Equium M40x-149 - Icons on desktop apeared bigger

Hi there, I hope someone can help me.
I booted up my laptop today and the icons on the desktop appeared bigger. I right clicked on the desktop then went to properties-settings and noticed that the highest resolution I could get was 1024x768, but when I checked the spec of my computer online, I found that it should by as high as 1280x800.
My laptop is an Equium M40x-149. The slider only goes from 800x600 to 1024x768 there is no inbetween.
I have tried system restore but to no avail.
Help please

Hi
This sounds like that the display driver should be updated. Please check the Toshiba page for an update:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
Before you install the newest version you should remove the old one first. Then restart the notebook and now install the newest version.
Normally if the display driver is installed correctly you should be able to choose the higher screen resolution.

  • Equium M40X-149: Wrong Battery inserted

    Very occasionally I get the above message on boot up. It's not a serious problem because I just switch off and it reboots OK.
    I have ckecked BIOS upgrades but my machine is at the most current level.
    Any ideas?

    Hello Bob
    I really dont know what happen in your case but I dont believe that there can be some serious issue like burning or something. I have also read about this issue and it was fixed with Battery Checker (V1.5.1M).
    I really dont understood what you want to say with Toshiba have been remarkably quiet during this time!. The fact is that there are no similar claims for Equium M40x. Please contact Toshiba service partners in your country and ask for help. The addresses you can find under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true
    Bye and good luck!

  • Equium M40X-149 using with an HP 3130 Digital Projector

    Hi..........new to this, so apologies before I start!
    I have my M30 notebook and I am trying to link it to a new digital projector - an HP3130.
    I have connected it up, turned it all on, started a slideshow on my notebook.........toggled the FN/F5 buttons (a screen comes up with three images on it, but no choice on how to select or use) and nothing appears on the screen.
    What do I need to do to get them to work together?
    Any ideas please?
    Many thanks.
    Paul

    Mike is right.
    Before you start application that should be shown on the projector change the desktop to projector only or make clone desktop.
    You can do this using FN+F5 key combination.
    When the desktop is shown on projector, start the application. I am pretty sure it will work well.

  • Equium M40X-149: DirectX (Direct 3D) issue playing Loaded Silent Hunter III

    Loaded Silent Hunter III in December 2005 after adding 512Mb RAM (total now 1Gb). Game has been running fine until now. Suddenly game fails to load with error message 'Cannot start 3D engine'. Have loaded latest Intel driver (dated Feb 06). Have loaded latest DirectX (v 9c) from MS site (dated Dec 05). Have uninstalled and reinstalled game from DVD. Still fails. DxDiag states 'Direct 3D functionality not available'....but it has been.
    Game suppliers have run out of ideas.
    You folks are my final hope...I'm going 'cold turkey' without being able to launch torpedos at ships!
    All help gratefully accepted.
    Peter

    Hi
    As far as I know this unit was delivered with a Mobile Intel 915GM Express Chipset AlvisoGM graphic card.
    Toshiba recommend to use the own graphic card drivers because they are especially designed for notebook usage.
    Please check this driver website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
    There you should find a driver version 6.14.10.3943.
    But generally its not easy to say why you game wont run.

  • Equium M40X -Battery discharging. Please help!

    I recently bought an Equium M40X - 149, and i couldnt understand why when the ac adapter is plugged in the battery discharges itself and the computer switches off! So i took it back to the shop and they said it is just the cycle of the battery and i would need to go into the bios to change the settings.
    I went into the bios but i couldnt find anything that i could change to stop this!! Can anyone point me in the right direction as it is inconvinient for me to keep taking the battery out when i want to use the laptop!!
    thank you
    Gemma

    Hello Gemma
    I dont know if I have understood you right but if the notebook is connected to AC power supply it can not be possible that the unit switches off itself. Not because of power supply. If the unit is connected to AC power supply you can remove the battery and it should work without any problem.
    Sorry but I have no explanation for this and in my opinion you should contact Authorized Toshiba service partner in your country. Explain them the problem and thay can check the unit. The warranty is valid and if there is some hardware malfunction the costs will be covered.
    Bye

  • Ask your question.please help itunes will not launch on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder no error message appears and it appears but then disappears in task manager when the programme will not open quick time is working

    please help i need to fix my itunes it will not launch on my computer . no error message appears it simply will not run. the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder and it still appears in programmes in start menu but will not open. it appears in task manager but disappears when the programme will not open

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

    Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop
    I got a new laptop Windows 7.  I installed Blackberry Desktop apparently successfully.  However, doesn't appear on start menu nor desktop.

    Hey tgcraighead,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    After the installation did you restart the computer?  If you go into Control Panel>Programs and Features do you see BlackBerry Desktop Software listed in the applications?
    Did you have a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

    Hi
    As far as I know the RS-232 port is a serial port and I dont think that its possible to connect the RGB port to the RS232 port.
    But I have found the useful website:
    http://www.ontrak.net/usb.htm
    There you will find a description how to connect the USB port to a RS-232 port.
    You need a ADU interface.
    Check the link.

    Hi,
    I've recently bought a Toshiba Equium M40x 189 laptop, and have read the manual regarding DVD formats that can be written to. However, I would like to know whether or not this laptop can write a DVD-DL dvd, I know in the manual it says it can write a DVD+DL, so i'd just like to know....Hope someone can help.
    Thanks

  • All icons on desktops keep flashing

    I have a 500GB transcend external hard drive. It used to work totally fine with Mac OS X Snow Leopard until a few days ago. When I plugged the hard drive in, all icons on desktop keep flashing every 3 seconds. When I open my hard drive, it disappeared automatically after the flash. I thought it might be a problem with my hard drive, but it works fine with when I plug into Windows 7. So, it must be the OS X that caused this problem. Please help!

    I have not see this issue before. Did a Playbook reset help?
    on Playbook press power button and both Vol + - buttons for 10 seconds to reboot it.

  • Can't get rid of itunes icon on desktop

    Already have iTunes showing on dock on bottom of display and now have iTunes icon on desktop display as well. Tried dragging it into trash but then I can't open iTunes from the dock without dragging desktop icon out of trash to and back to the desktop. Tried dragging desktop icon onto dock and into already existing iTunes icon already on the dock. Nothing i've tried seems to work. How to I get rid of this desktop icon?

    Hi bkbl?
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    First check in Applications to see if there is an iTunes icon there?
    If so then just drag the one on your Desktop to the dock, make sure it works and then drag the old one off.
