Problems with Satellite A300-1GC XP install - CD not working?

Hi there
I have few looks round in various forums and did not find any answer at all.
I have the A300-1GC Satellite and had (since last night) vista on it. As Vista caused
an awful lot of problems with various programs I decided to get rid of it.
The problem now is - if I stick my XP installation CD it it reads "press any key to start from CD".
Done that and then nothing happens. The CD reading head keeps on moving backwards and forwards
but nothing happens at all. Not even the start of the blue installation screen.
Any ideas where that comes from?
Might the CD-rom also be running in AHCI mode (can a CD drive do that?) and requires drivers?
I tried various XP CDs - neither works. The latest one I had was with SP3 and build in Feb 2009 so fairly recent.
Any clues?
Cheers
Tobimaster

Hi
In your case the issue has nothing to do with SATA mode (AHCI or Compatible mode) but it look like the CD/DVD drive cannot handle the inserted Win XP disk
Why? Who knows
Fact is that the CD cannot be read and therefore the installation cannot get on.
Try to copy this disk using another computer and then you could try to use the copied disk on order to install the Win XP.
Just for info: I'm using TDK -R disks (CD and DVD)... I'm very satisfied

Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "

Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

Hi There
Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
Solution to working You Tube app:
-Go to playstore
- Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
- "Et Voila", working again.
This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
Hope it helped.
Best Regards

Cooling problems with Satellite A300-1B0: ventilator is not stopping

Hi users,
i m new in Linux and Ubuntu, i installed ubuntu 8.10 last week;
All things are ok, boot menu ok because i have XP, network connection ethernet and wireless, updates ok, packages ok!
just one thing that make me "" it's the cooling ventilator of my laptop, i explain :
it's turned on since i login ubuntu and it will be off only when i log off "shutt down" my laptop, so it's never stopping till
the use of ubuntu, because with xp it's start but if the processor is cold it's stop! and restart and etc.......
So if someone have an idea you're WELCOME !
My laptop configuration :
TOSHIBA satellite A300-1B0
processor: core 2 duo T8100 2.1 Ghz
RAM: 3 Go
SATA hard drive
ethernet Marvell Yukon 88E8040T
Wireless Intel
and i have patched it with the last bios from toshiba site
Date of the bios publcation 07 2008 v3.7

Hi,
I own a Toshiba Satellite A300-19T which comes with a Core 2 Duo T8100, 3Gb of RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 3650 graphics card and guess what? I'm having the same issue!
I have spent a fairly nice amount of time trying to figure out what's going on and I've been suspecting the CPU fan for a long time. I went from enumerating the custom drivers Toshiba is installing the the machine to de-compiling the ACPI table using Intel's tools: NOTHING! (expect the fact that the BIOS isn't really ACPI compliant but much more Microsoft Windows Vista only compliant).
Then I discovered that the GPU (the Radeon HD 3650) may also have a fan attached to it to cool it down, because you know, it can be such a source of heat and that noise under Linux means that the GPU fan is actually spinning all the time, non stop, causing discomfort, a lot of noise and all. To prove this, I made a simple experiment, I went back to Windows Vista and uninstalled the ATI Catalyst driver (you can reinstall them later, they are located in C:\Toshiba folder) and rebooted the machine: I had the fan spinning all the time under Vista just like Linux!
What is causing the issue is the GPU, not the CPU! and it's due to bad GPU power management on Linux since a driver doesn't exist yet. The only way to solve this is by asking Toshiba to release the documentation about the GPU power management and fan control, so that the community can write a driver for it.
Could you please confirm my finding? Which graphics card do you have installed in your laptop?
Regards,
Ilyes Gouta.

Satellite A300-14s feather touch button not working

Hi,
I installed VMWare player on my satellite A300-14s running in Windows Vista 32-bit. But after installation, my feather touch buttons ( esp. the Illumination and CD/DVD buttons) stopped working.
Then I uninstalled it, but still the problem persist.
I don't have any system restore point before the installation.
What do i do?
Thank You.

Flash Cards Support Utility is not a part of Value Added Package! It has to be installed separately!
But dont mix it with flash card reader driver. Thats the driver for the card reader (SD, SDHC cards, etc.). You have to search on the Toshiba website for Flash Cards Support Utility.
Check this!!!

Problems with re-grouping - subtotals and pagebreaks do not work

I'm trying to create a report with all of my grouping in the template as opposed to the data definition. I've copied a simplified version of my code and xml below.
I'm having two issues:
1. The pagebreaks are not working. For every change in pagebreak_seg, second_seg, or third_seg there should be a pagebreak.
2. The subtotalling isn't working. At each grouping level, I'm using sum(current-group()/...) to capture a subtotal at the new level. It worked the first 3 times (for Account_seg, Cat3 and Third_Seg, but stopped working at Second_seg. The second_seg keeps appearing after each Third Seg and has the same values rather than appearing at the end of the final Third Seg that falls within the Second_seg. Is there a limit to how many times I can do this, or have I got an error in here somewhere.
I can email the xml and the template if that would be more helpful.
Thanks very much for your help.
What I'm expecting to see.

Additional info on the grouping problem:
I tried removing the third_seg group and the second_seg group started working properly. I then deleted the second_seg group and the pagebreak_seg started working. So as long as I have only one level of grouping below cat3 the output is correct. Unfortunately I need those additional levels, so if anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it.
Alternately if someone knows of a sample with mutliple levels of grouping, I would appreciate a link. There was a link on the the BI Blog but it doesn't work any longer.
Thanks for your help.

Satellite A300-1DG - Easy keys are not working on Windows 7

My easy key are not working but the fn keys are. I installed all drivers for Windows 7 64 bit and they are still not working?
Please help

I did a clean install, and i installed VAP, the keys are working but the first one is not, and the second one which is used for opening WMP is now used for turn on/of the illumination keys, all other are working normal. I tried reinstall the vap, with cleaning the registry and then reinstalling...but it was the same...

I have a MacBookPro running 10.6.8. I use Bluetooth to link to devices including keyboard and magic trackpad. I bought a Bose Wave III stereo and a bluetooth device. No problem with iPhone, iPad, wife's MacBook. Not working for me. Thoughts?

I keep receiving an errror message that "there was an error with the device." I use bluetooth for all sorts of things, no problem. Anyone have any suggestions?Because the stereo is connecting no problem to every other device, I'm assuming there's an issue between my laptop and the stereo. Thanks.

Apple might fix the problem with SL; they did release the 10.6.8 Supplemental Update, which fixed an HDMI problem. So we might get a fix.
Don't know if this problem affects Lion. I haven't read much about it, since I'm not upgrading for another few months.

Since I downloaded Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have problems with my email. Some accounts do not work. Some do.

Some accounts do work, others not. I have removed the not working accounts and than added them again, didnt fix the problem. For the record; all accounts work perfectly on my other devices, Ipad and Iphone.

Yep, everything worked fine before Mavericks. I removed the account that didnt work at all and re-installed it, didnt work. All accounts work fine on my other devices like Ipad and Iphone, so it's not in the account itself.

I hv a problem with my iphone when i rester is not working ...

hi . I have a problem with my I phone .16GB model number is A1303 FCC ID;***** IC ID;****... WHEN I RESATE MY IPHONE AFTER THAN IS NOT ON ...IS NOT OPEN ,IS NOT WORKING THANK U .....
<Edited By Host>

okay. I tried the airplane mode and do not disturb on and off thing, resetting the network settings and all settings, restoring the iPhone using iTunes, draining phone using flashlight, reheating the phone using hair dryer and freezing the phone.. the freezing makes my wifi work again but it only last a couple of hours and I didn't want to try it anymore because I'm afraid it may cause another problem to my phone if I keep doing that.

Satellite A300 The Touch keys are not working since I got it

Hello!
My sister bought this amazing laptop for me and since the date that I got it (5 months ago) , I was not able to use the touch keys on the top of the keypad. At first, I thought I was doing something wrong and that I needed to activate the, but I read the whole manual and I couldn't get an option to activate it. I am using Windows Xp professional with service pack 3. Please help me as soon as possible. I listen to music a lot while I work with my computer and it would save me a lot of time to get those buttons to work.
Thanks in advance.
Denise

Hi!
Thanks for your replies but in this case, it is not the Touch pad the one that it is not working. They are the touch keys that are on the top of the keypad on the right of the power on button. They are 6 of them. One seems to me for muting or unmuting the sound, other four are the regular play/pause, rewind, stops and forward button ant the other one has like the drawing of a music note. Do you know how to make them work?
Thanks
Denise

Shutting down problem with Satellite A300

Hello,
I have a problem in shutting down my laptop. Whenever I shut it down it looks everything is ok, but as soon as I close the lid it turns automatically on. This is very annoying. Anyone knows the solution? Thank you.

Well it seems that Wake-on-LAN was the problem :)
I also found out that it can be disabled through Network Adapter properties. Just set the "Wake from shutdown" property to off and it worked!

Problem with TREX 7.0 : HTTP Server is not working

Hi all,
I have installed TREX 7.0 recently(Windows XP Pro, with IIS 5.1). I'm having portal installed in the same system(NW04s). After this installation I found that status of httpserver is red, rest all servers are having green status. I checked it in IIS, there also its indicating same(SAP_TREX_02 (Stopped)). I tried to connect http://<host-name>:30205/TREXHttpServer/TrexIsapiExt.dll, but its giving error as,
Error occurred when connecting to the server!
Description: Can't connect to the server.

Additional info: Error code: 10061

I'm not able to get why http server is not able to get up. Please help me to resolve this problem. Waiting for some quick response.
Thanks in advance,
Ganpati Jha

Hi,
do you configured TREX server in EP ?
You must configure the TREX name server in Visual Admin, to point to TREX.
Your error message say "Server: <host-ip>:30205", what is <host-ip>? I think that is the problem, it must be your server name.
Check this:

Problem with Acrobat Hyperlinks to packaged PDF's not working when moved to PC platform

Hello,
I'm having a little issue with the new Acrobat CC.
I have a master PDF presentation that includes Hyperlinks (set up in Acrobat) that link to external pdf files (packaged in a sub-folder from the source PDF file).
On a number of macs they work fine, opening in Acrobat / Reader. But when transferred to a PC platform the link clicks but none of the files are opening.
I'm geting no dialogue boxes or error messages, just does nothing.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Matt

Second question: I can't seem to link an image that I inserted on a "My Photos" template page. There is no way to select the image--when I do, it just shows the "blue box" around the image but it doesn't actually select the image itself so I can link it.
This is correct, you cannot make the image holders hyperlinks. The solution is to put a Shape over the top of the image that you want to be a link, then Opn Inspector, Graphic Link and make the Opacity 1%, no more no less. Then make this shape a link. Beware that this image will still display in a slideshow and if you insert more images and it moves, the shape will not move with it.
You may also want to click on the shape and then go Arrange > Bring to Front.
