No Powersaver Utility in Satellite A100-01L

Hello,
I bought a A100-01L with vista but there is no possibility to open the power saver tool. Not direct or with the assist program. Also power saving in the Nvidia control panel is not available. All other programs in the assist tool were there, but not the power saving tool. After reinstalling the assis tool no program is available there.
How to get the powersaving tool and the Nvidia power saving? I've got Vista. From the Toshiba Wed site is no download available. The van runs permanently at high level.
Thanks!

Hi
As you know Vista is new operating system with more features and system optimizing options as WXP. Because of that Toshiba will not use the same tools and utilities as before. Many things are changed.
The best example is Power saver utility. Now you will not be able to use it as before. Because of that you will not be able to find download Power saver separately.

  • System frequency on a Satellite A100-01L notebook should always be high

    Hello,
    Because I am a battlefield gamer there is a speed problems with my notebook.
    It is a Satellite A100-01L notebook with 1.73 GHz normal system tact. (2 GByte RAM, 120 GByte HD).
    The system frequency changes between 800 MHz (without hard job...) and 1.73 GHz (if it seems to be necessary). In the system BIOS its possible to select a 800 MHz (named slow ') or a dynamic clock speed (called: 'dynamic' modus).
    My question is: was it possible to set the system clock always to 1.73 GHz?
    Thank you.

    Hm, usually there should be also an option "High" or something like "Always High". So, I suggest you to perform a bios update and then to check if such an option is available.
    Otherwise you should look into the toshiba powersaver and make sure that everthing is on maximum.

  • Fn Key does not work in Vista on a Satellite A100-192

    After Vista Installation Fn Key don't work.
    HotKey Utility and other tools are installed (in recommended order), but when Vista start appears Error message: "Start HotKey Utility failed".
    All other device is working.

    Hello Kat
    I have the same notebook. It is Satellite A100-504 delivered with WXP. It is different number (504) but the same hardware configuration and number PSAA9E. I have preinstalled Vista last week successfully and everything works fine.
    Do you use Toshiba Vista upgrade installations DVD or you have own Vista DVD?
    Anyway, I have installed clean Vista OS (using Microsoft installations CD). After doing this I have visited Toshiba download page and at first downloaded document called Installations Instructions.
    Please do the same and install all listed stuff in the listed order. That is very important. After doing this Vista should run well and also all Toshiba designed tools and utilities.
    BTW: power saver utility is not like before under WXP. Now notebook uses Vista power settings.

  • Installing Linux system on a Satellite A100

    Hi - I am new to these forums so please be kind with my limited knowledge .  My partner has a satellite A100 laptop that has Windows XP installed on it.  Due to driver and upgrade probs - he now wishes to install a linux op system on it (Ubuntu).  When I try to install it gets to a certain point then freezes.  It appears the cd drive stops reading?  I have checked the cd driver, and also the installl disc and all ok.  I tried to install through windows but the same problem happened?  Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

  • Need WXP drivers for Satellite A100 (PSAA9)

    Hiya,

    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,

  • Need wireless drivers for Satellite A100-259

    Hi
    Had to reformat my daughters laptop (A100-259 PSAA2) due to virus issues and am in the process of rebuilding it. Almost there but can't seem to get the wireless bit to work. Nothing appears in the system tray even when it's switched on (little switch on the right has the light on). I assume because i've reinstalled XP that i need to reinstall the wireless drivers but i can't seem to find them on the toshiba web site (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK). It only shows the Atheros management utility.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciate especially as i'm pretty new to this kind of stuff and she has lost the manual that came with the laptop.
    many thanks
    Norrie

    Hi!
    I dont know why no WLAN drivers are available for this A100 model and Windows XP but you can search for an other A100 model (for example Satellite A100 PSAA8).
    Then you will find an Atheros WLAN driver for Windows XP and it should also work.
    Bye

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA9): Win7 + screen brightness adjustment issue

    Hi
    I have installed Windows 7 64-bit on my toshiba A100 (psaa9) machine, and i cannot modify screen brightness anymore.
    It is maximum brightness always. Fn key does not work, and neigther i can modify the brightness manually through nvidia control panel. nvidia driver is 7.15.11.7967, installed automatically with windows.
    In a similar thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=182780
    i've read suggestions about Value Added Package to be installed, but there is no package like this for my model.
    how can i fix my problem?
    thanks

    hi all,
    thank you for reply!!!
    ok, i tried to install VAP and Flash Card Utility for Satellite L500. first, installing Flash Card Utility i got invalid serial number error. i've read in forum that it might be due to inappropriate driver for my version on laptop or if i did not install VAP first. so, second, i tried to installed VAP, but i get value "Setup tvap error 0x8146045B" :(
    according my display driver: it was nVidia driver automatically installed with win7. in fact there is no display driver for win7 64bit version on toshiba website... i guess i have more problems with display, as my secondary display blinks every time some system event like driver/program installation or usb device plugging-in or -out happens.

  • Satellite A100 PSAA8K Stuck at BIOS after BIOS is flashed

    Hello all,
    I used Toshiba's BIOS update utility on this machine. It was working fine before, now it gets stuck with the Toshiba splash logo. Pressing F2 and/or F12 do not work. Pressing esc. Gives the following error. No TPM or TPM has problem. Everything else seems as normal. It show Bios 6.00 which is what I'd in theory flashed it to.
    I'm guessing the flash went bad. Is there an emergency recovery procedure for this?

    Hi guys!
    I have a great news for all, who still fighting with "no tpm or tpm has problem"!
    I find a solution!
    That is an instruction how to flash old bios to Toshiba Satellite A100-712 (PSAA9E):
    1. Get USB Diskette Drive
    2. Download Phoenix Crisis Recovery Disc with phlash16.exe 1.6.5.4
    3. Create Crisis Disk by running CRISDISK.BAT (Phoenix Crisis Recovery Disc)
    4. Download this version of San Antonio BIOS (5.90) from there: http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20070709111839.zip
    5. Extract files from archive and find files s10gm590.rom or s10pm590.rom
    6. Copy one of this files to recovery diskette you have created before (you have to delete BIOS.WPH):
    6.1 s10gm590.rom - if you have intel gm video
    6.2 s10pm590.rom - if you have ATI, GeForce video
    (Also you have to copy to disc file "phlash.ini" and change in this file option UI Advanced=0 to "1" this will give command to BIOS to downgrade)
    7. Rename copied file "s10...m590.rom" to BIOS.WPH
    8. Remove battery from your notebook.
    9. Remove AC cord.
    10. Plug USB Diskette Drive to notebook
    11. Insert your recovery diskette.
    12. Press and hold keys "WIN" and "f"
    13. Plug AC
    14. Push ON (sometimes is better to push 3 keys together "WIN" +"f" + "ON")
    15. Your diskette drive had to start working - if not try again p.12-14
    16. For a while your computer starts to beep (near 2 minutes approx.).
    17. Wait until computer will reboot.
    18. Press F1 when chesksum error will occurs.
    That is all!
    Have fun!
    If you have any questions - you can send me email - [email protected]

  • Satellite A100-003 WLAN connection timeout(with WPA-PSK)

    I have a Satellite A100-003 notebook with preinstalled Windows Vista.
    When I try connect to my router with WPA-PSK (TKIP) I have error:
    Wireless authentication failed because of a timeout.
    My notebook and router configurated correctly!! I installed new intel drivers for 3945ABG chip.
    WPA2-PSK and WEP work fine.

    Hi
    The same happened on my old notebook.
    I was not able to establish the WLan connection for longer than 1min with WPA encryption.
    I have downloaded the newest Atheros driver and updated everything.
    Everything works fine with WEP but not WPA.
    Then I have disabled the Windows own configuration option and use the Atheros client utility. Now everything works fine!
    I would recommend using the Intel Proset utility and check all possible settings!

  • Satellite A100-924: Hotkeys driver for Win 7 needed

    Hello,
    I installed Windows Vista on my Pc Satellite A100-924, where can I find drivers for hotkeys?
    On Toshiba site I find only the ones for XP, but.... on my PC that I bought about 3 years ago, there is a sticker on the case that says that this computer is Windows Vista capable.
    Is possible that Toshiba has not released a drivers that work with Vista?
    thanks in advance at all.... Max
    Message was edited - changed Vista to Win 7

    Hi
    Im afraid there is no further utility to get the FN buttons working. The VAP is the only one package which controls this setting under Vista and Win 7.
    I remember that the Flash Cards utility (part of VAP) controls the FN buttons.
    Please check if the Flash Card Utility is enabled in Programs -> Toshiba -> Flash Cards utility

  • Satellite A100 and Blue screen

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 thats approx 4 years old.
    When I start up the computer I get a blue screen with an error message before I can see my computers background. But I can successfully start it up in safe mode.
    The error message reads:
    A problem as been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If it appears again follow these steps.:
    Run a system diagnostic utility supplied by your hard ware manufacturer. In particular, run a memory check, and check for faulty or mismatched memory. Try changing video adapters.
    Disable or remove any newly instaled hardware and drivers. Disable or remove any newly installed software. if you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components. restart your computer , press F8 to select advanced startup options and select safe mode.
    Te3chnical information:
    *** STOP: 0x0000007F (0x00000008,0xF794ED70,0x00000000,0x00000000)
    If someone could walk me through some stepsto try it would be greatly appreciated

    Hi buddy,
    If you can start your notebook in safe mode it seems to be a driver issue. So you should restore the system to an earlier point and hope it works.
    In worst case you have to reinstall the whole notebook. Therefore start the HDD recovery and your OS will be reinstalled.

  • My Satellite A100 would not hibernate

    Hello,
    My notebook would not hibernate when I activate in the windows tool bar.
    When I activate the hibernation it will process normaly but when the monitor takes blue and said "prepare hibernate" the monitor or system do not shoutdown(turn off),Why?
    Is the same for suspend mode.
    I made a investigation on my notebook and see that i have the hibernation mode activated in the panel control > Energy Setings > Hibernation
    My notebook is a Satellite A100.
    Sorry for my english.
    Thanks a lott!

    Hi buddy,
    sometimes such hibernation/suspend problems are caused by some programs which cannot be closed from vista. Or your toshiba powersaver is malfunctioning, maybe some settings were
    misconfigured through what-I-know-what program or something else.
    I suggest you firstly: When you try to hibernate/suspend, then try pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE to see which applications are STILL running. Try to close the apps sequentially to
    see when the machine will then really hibernate. If this doesnt helped you, then try to reinstall the powersave (first uninstall it properly from your system) and give some
    feedback whats happening.

  • Satellite A100-498 crashes after suspension or hibernation

    Hello everybody
    I just bought a brand new satellite A100-498, and just realised that each time I leave the computer for a while, and it needs to go into hibernation or suspenson, it goes, but when I get back and try to restart, it starts to restart, but it crashes right after with a black screen (in hibernation) or in the desktop (suspension). i tried to modify tye settings on the Toshiba powersaver, but it still happens...
    can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Helena,
    Try to install new VGA and chipset drivers.
    I think that will solve the problem.

  • Satellite A100-158 connects to the WLAN but not to the internet

    I have a Satellite A100-158. It used to disconnect frequently from the wireless network in my house but now although the connection still registers on the Intel PROset/wireless program, and is stated as connected, I cannot access the internet anymore. I have no idea what the problem could be as the wireless signal is excellent.
    At the moment I have plugged the Ethernet cable into the router to access the internet. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem could be?

    Hi
    I cannot provide the exactly solution to this WLan issue but I think you should check the whole settings on the WLan router.
    First of all you should remove all security settings like the encryption key and MAC address filtering.
    Then check the notebook settings. If you use a Wlan configuration tool like Intel ProSet utility the windows own configuration option should be disabled!!!
    Furthermore go to the Wlan properties and check the TCP/IP protocol settings!!!
    The IP address, subnet mask and the default geteway should be set to automatic
    Good luck and investigate a little bit

  • Screen on TV goes blank on Satellite A100

    I connected my laptop to my TV but the screen goes blank before I can enter my password. Can somebody tell me why this is?

    Satellite A100 support definitely Fn buttons.
    The Fn button I definitely there but maybe the functionality is not there.
    Maybe the software does not work.
    If you use the Win 7 please ensure that VAP (value added package) and Flash Card Support Utility are installed.
    Both can be chosen from Sat L500 driver section too
