Power Saver re-install parameter error on Portege S100

I am trying to re-install the Power Saver utility on my Portege S100 (after removing it through Control Panel | Remove Programs).
I have downloaded the S100 WinXP version of Power Saver and unzipped it. When I run the setup.exe I get a stop error message saying "The parameter is incorrect". There is no apparent documentation with the download saying what parameter is required etc.
Has anyone seen this before and/or got a suggestion on how to re-install Power Saver successfully.
Thanks.

Thanks, and I'm sorry if I'm being dumb, but ...
... there isn't any information about installation on the driver page for the Power Saver. It says to check inside the zip file, which doesn't contain any such information either.
Also, I haven't uninstalled the Common module so I assume it is still there on my S100. I could download it and try to install it again over the top of the existing version but, without installation instructions, I don't know whether that would make things worse for all my existing Toshiba utilities even if it allowed Power Saver to reinstall correctly.
I guess I could uninstall all utilities and then reinstall ... but from what you say I would need to know the full list and correct sequence for this install.
Are you able to give me more explicit directions to the installation instructions.
Thanks for your help.

I don't know if this will solve the problem but first step you can do is to remove power saver, restart the unit and try to install it again.

It is really not easy to say why this message occur. In my opinion you should try to remove Toshiba power saver and install it again or if this message occur for a short time try to rollback the system to one previous time using System restore tool.

Portege R700 - Installed Power Saver on Windows 7 64bit

Hi,
I was looking for a way to reduse fan noise on a Win7 Portege R700-174 and read to install "Power Saver" from the Toshiba support site.
Installation was OK, but I cannot use ist because Common Module is not installed. I get an error "Code: 0x2". I already understand that "Power Saver" and "Common Module" is not intended for windows 7. Why have I been able to install it anyway?
Now when I try to remove "Power Saver" i get yet another error and uninstall fails.
What can I do? Any help is appreciated!
Regards
Michael

Hey,
Toshiba Common Modules and Power Saver are designed for Windows XP only! This software isnt compatible to Vista and Windows 7. In this case you have to install Value Added Package.
Anyway, not its too late and you must remove the installed software. If you get an error while uninstalling I would recommend using CCleaner to remove the programs. CCleaner can also uninstall all software that you have installed and its freeware tool. Do a Google search to download it and try uninstalling the Toshiba tools again.

Receiving error message when trying to install Toshiba Power Saver

Recently toshiba power saver stopped working - I removed it and redownloaded it from this website, now whenever I try to run the install i get a "unable to machine id" message and the install stops.
First time posting here so If i'm on the wrong forum or you need anything else apologies in advance.

Hi there,
where did youve downloaded the powersaver? Maybe you downloaded the wrong one for your machine. Its absolutely important to download EXACTLY that software which fits your machine type.
When downloading stuff from toshiba websites you have to keep an eye on the version of your machine (e.g. Satellite A100-552 -> download the software for type "552" of the Satellite A100 series).
This sometimes resolves many errors and clarify some not very nice situations.
Please, more details on your problem. :)

Hi
You are absolutely right. Common modules is a kind of basic application who must be installed first. All other Toshiba tools should be installed after. The functionality of Power saver utility depends also on installed common modules.
Unfortunately I can not give you any kind of advice but in case that there is some error message the best solution is to remove and install the Power saver again. Check also Toshiba download page. Maybe you can find a newer version.

Error when installing Toshiba Tools and Power Saver

Hi,
I have a Satellite A100-771 and installed Windows XP Professional with SP2.
Afterwards I installed all drivers. After that I wanted to install the Toshiba Utilities and have got an error message : "Toshiba common Module not found! This setup will terminate."
Furthermore I tried to install the Power Saver Tool, which is more important as the uilities I think. And here I have got the error message: "A fatal error has occurred. This program will be terminated. Code:0x7E"
I am not sure what I can do else. I also installed the hotfixes for Windows which are on the ToolCD from Toshiba. But the problem is still there.
The difference between both errors is that the installation of the utilities setup stop before finishing installation. On the Power Safer installation, it finished on 100% and terminate the setup or the program after the installation.
May somebody can help me.

There is a specific order that the Toshiba utilities and drivers have to be loaded in. This list is on the Toshiba download page, and the common modules is one the first utilities that has to be loaded for the others to work

Re: Satellite L300-17l - Toshiba Power Saver gives me error after install

When I bought my L300-17l all drivers from Toshiba drivers download pafe worked ok.
Recently I reinstalled my XP OS and now I started installing again all the drivers. LAN was ok, WLAN was ok, Display driver was ok.
But when I get to install Toshiba Power Saver ( URL: [http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/pwrsav-en-20080519172104.zip] ) it gives me this error ( it shows the error either after I click finish on the instalation or before installing has begun, as you can see on this screenshot ) - [http://www.picvalley.net/v.php?p=u/2381/9078672171740560287.JPG]
I tried later this - i go ot control panel and open Toshiba Power Saver, but then it gives me another error - " CANNOT open because you do not have access rights to use "TOSHIBA Power Saver".
I reinstalled again my XP and it still gives me this error....I wonder what the problem could be....PLS help me

Hi
Satellite L300-17L belongs to the PSLBCE series.
I chosen this model number and found exactly the same power saver which you have tried to install.
Therefore I assume you have chosen the right Power Saver Utility for this notebook model.
But did you install also the Common Module?
This software should be installed firstly before any other tools installation.
Did you update the Win XP to the latest state?

Fatal Error when starting Power Saver on Tecra M9

When I try to start Power Saver on a Tecra M9 (21), I get a Fatal error; code: 0X51A.
I've tried various combinations of uninstalling, cleaning registry, rebooting, etc., but everytime I reinstall (version 7), I get the same fatal error.

Hi
You are speaking about the Power saver for XP? Am I right?
Please note that you have to install all drivers, tools and utilities in the right order!!!
The installation instruction should be checked and you should follow the guide lines.
Very important;
The common modules is a necessary tool to get all other Toshiba tools running properly. Furthermore there is a power saver driver and utility. The driver must be installed before the utility!!!
Please dont forget this!!!

Power Saver error 0x7E

Hey, I removed the pre-installed OEM windows and installed my own windows, I downloaded all the drivers and software from the Toshiba website, all of it works, except the Power Saver. When it is installed and want's to start, I got the error 0x7E. When I want to remove it to install another version, I also got that error.
Does somebody know a solution? Thanks

Hi
I have also found some topics about the same issue.
Check this one:

It seems that this problem occurs after manually Windows installation without to use the Toshiba recovery CD.
I dont know exactly why it occurs but in my opinion the Toshiba image includes some files which are missing on the usual Windows installation.
In my opinion you should install the Toshiba recovery OS and if you want you can remove all not necessary applications.

Tecra M10 - Can't uninstall or install Power Saver code 0x0

Hi folks,
on my new Tecra M10, after logging in I get a Fatal Error message "Toshiba Power Saver. Fatal error has ocured. This program will terminate. code 0x0.
I cannot install a new download of power saver until I UN-install the existing.
When I try to UN-install via Control panel, I get the same fatal error.

Hi
Friend of me had the same problem and he told me that it was possible to remove Toshiba Power Saver in safe mode. Therefore go in advanced boot menu and select safe mode. After this try removing Power Saver as normal.
Check this!
Furthermore you could try removing Power Saver using an additional tool like CCleaner. This is a very nice tool where you can remove programs and optimize the registry. I like this freeware program.

Toshiba Power Saver fatal error 0x51A on Satellite M115-S3094

Hello,
By the subject, the problem is there. Unfortunately, my computer which is the Toshiba M115-S3094, just recently had a Fatal Error with the Toshiba Power Saver program like 3 days ago. The Toshiba Power Saver not only does not want to work, but it no longer even shows on the taskbar.First, I went to the Power Properties to restore the proram, but to no avail.
Then, I tried uninstalling and subsequently re-installing the program and it still gave me the same problem with the Error: The program will be terminated. Fatal Error 0x51A. So right now, my laptop is not running on the Toshiba Power Scheme but on the common Windows scheme, like Presentation or Portable Laptop.
So I need help to restore the Toshiba Power Saver. I run the Toshiba M115-S3094 with Windows Media Center Edition.

Hi
The Satellite M115 seems to be a Toshiba US notebook because of the 5 at the end of the number.
In this case you should use the Toshiba power saver from the Toshiba US site. Did you???
Maybe you have used the right Power saver utility, so possibly some registry or any system files keys are damage in such case the new OS installation from the Toshiba recovery CD would be advisable.

Power Save Utility fatal error 0x51 on Satellite M70

I have just joined my M70 to a domain (SBS 2003) and get this message when I login to the domain.
If I logon to the local user account on the laptop then it works fine.
If I go to power options in control panel and select a different power scheme then the error goes away but I cannot select the TOSHIBA Power Save sheme in the schemes combo.
Please help
Cheers
Dave

Possibly the Power saver Utility and the Power saver driver are not installed for all user accounts on the M70.
Or all user accounts are not authorized to use the Power saver Utility and the Power saver driver.
On the Toshiba driver page you can find the Toshiba Power saver utility and the Toshiba power saver driver.
Both applications must be installed and must run together.
>If I go to power options in control panel and select a different power scheme then the error goes away but I cannot select the TOSHIBA Power Save scheme in the schemes combo.
This is clear. If the Toshiba power saver scheme will be NOT chosen in the Windows Power Options then you will be not able to use the Toshiba power saver.

Tecra A9 - Power Saver crashes - fatal error has occured code: 0x2

Hi,
today, when I switched on my computer the power saver began to crash.
I restarted the computer several times and the result always is - A fatal error has occured. This program will be terminated. code: 0x2.
This error pops out even when I try to reinstall the application.
May be this has something to do with the service pack 3 I installed couple a days ago.
Anyone has an idea ?
Martin Vassilev.

I saw this error long time ago with WXP. In my opinion it has nothing to do with SP3.
My experience says you will not be able to fix this. There is something wrong in registry entries and reinstallation will not help at all.
Only one method can help, the most radical one, new OS installation using recovery media.
