Re: Satellite A300 - Windows Vista hang on - what can I do?
I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 with OS Windows Vista Home Edition.
After some weeks of working with my laptop, it hang on.
I have reinstalled the OS but and it work well during 1 or two months then the laptop hang on again.
I bought this laptop October 2008 and I have reinstalled Vista 3 o 4 times.
What can I do?
You mean the Vista does not response after couple of time?
Well buddy, this can be an software issue.
I mean there are no magic solutions for such issues I assume you have installed and used many different applications on this notebook.
It could be possible that one of the applications causes this issue
It could be also possible that the registry entries and some system files have been changed during the Microsoft updates
In my opinion you should use some cleaning tools like for example the CCLeaner.
Its free tool and it cleans your registry and other files
You should also check the applications which are running while the system would start to hang up
Last but not least I recommend checking the memory you could run an memory test (www.memtest.org, www.memtest86.com) in order to find out some memory issues.
Good luck

Satellite A300 - Windows Vista restarts on shutdown
I have just done HDD recovery on Satellite A300, Vista and it gives me problems when i try to shut it down, it just restarts. It doesn't matter if it is on battery or plugged in.I did update on BIOS, did te setup in Power options but still the same problem. I do have non working WiFi and network card, if somebody thinks that might be the problem. Any and all inputs are welcome.
ThanksI have done the Recovery and without installing the new software it started with the problem of restart instead of shutdown. I'm having this laptop for over two years and am thrilled with it. this is the first real problem that i am having.
I did not connect it to the internet, didn't do any updates for my network card and WIFI is off .
What kind of testing should i do?
Right After the installation i shut it down, the only time it worked and the next time i tried it just restarted. And between those two points passed few minutes,no extra software installed. -
Question
better privacy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers? edit
DetailsAs a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
Any luck? -
I tried updating my itune program. Now all I get is the following message "Itunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126). WHAT can I do to get back to where my itunes program is running again?
I have uninstalled the proram and tried reinstalling and get the same error message. The other error message I get is "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem". I have tried that twice with no luck. Can someone help me get my music back???Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I have installed mountain lion on my early 2009 macbook (not unibody) and it is terrible, it's like owning a windows pc again (almost) What can I do? I paid for mountain lion, is there any way of giving it back and getting a refund? obvisoulsy after unintalling it. I couldn't see any reason why it would be bad for my particular macbook, and it downloaded without a problem.
In what way is it terrible? Mountain Lion is pretty stable. If you are having problems, most likely they are unique to your particular system and can be fixed. If you don't like some of the new features, that does not constitute reason for a refund.
If that does not suit you, you will have to discuss a refund with Apple, as they are the only ones who can say. Note that the App Store terms do say that all sales are final, so you are not guaranteed a refund, especially since whatever problems you had are not due to defective software. -

Have you tried this troubleshooting method?

In addition, go to Windows update then click on View update history then click on Installed updates,
search for the failed kb number and double click on it and it will prompt to uninstall. Uninstall then
reboot and go back to Windows update and click Check for updates it should come up and re
download and install.

Why is it impossible to save a modified file since my computer is on Windows 8.1? What can I do?Photoshop Elements FAQ List
It shows up as Drive :E. I was able to copy my entire collection earlier on F drive. But it would not copy just the pics I had selected. I'll probably get it worked out before the next mililenium. Thanks. I'll keep on working on it. I'll yell again if I have a major operator error situation. I really do want to be able to copy only selected photos though. All I could find in the Editor tab was to Backup. I really don't want to always copy my entire backup files.

Satellite A300 - Windows 7 causing overheating
Hey all,
i have a toshi A300/y01 (psagca - 02y010) and have recently upgraded to windows 7 64bit , since upgrading i've been unable to find a toshiba power saver utility that is compatible with win 7, and my pc has been getting alot hotter then it did a few days ago under vista, i've been into power options and configured power plan to maximum performance under heating, tho is no change. also when i turn the pc on the fan does not seem to do its test spin as fast as it did.
There is still hot air coming from the vent on the left, and hasn't shutdown due to exessive heat, tho have not heard the fan kick in like it used to and laptop base and hand rests are getting alot hotter then they ever have before.
Have been to a few diff forums that suggest varying things like fan.exe tho from other comments i've read it doesn't seem to recognise toshiba fans, am planning on pulling the base off in the next few days and checking dust build up, tho this may explain raised heat doesn't explain why fan is working differently under new OS and why heat has jumped up so much coinciding with the change.
If anyone has any suggestions pls help!I have European Satellite A300-1LI and last week I installed Win7 as clean installation, no update.
I must say that notebook runs well and I didn't notice much difference to Vista. Notebook runs pretty quiet. I must also say that my notebook is Win7 supported and I have installed Win7 VAp that includes Toshiba power saver.
Have you checked Toshiba download page for your country? Is your notebook model fully supported for Win7?
Try to use balanced power plan. Performance will be reduced but also CPU and graphic activity and I presume notebook will not produce so much heat as under high performance power plan where the hardware is is request to run on maximum level.
If the Toshiba power saver is installed on your notebook you can find it on same place as under Vista. There you can change settings for cooling method. -
Satellite A300 - windows freezes
Dear forum users,
I am having 1 Satellite A300 laptop with vista on.
recently o observed, if i right click on any icon on the desktop, the system freeze to respond and the circle of vista keep on spinning.
if i pressed again and again, the dialogue box "programme stopped working, close/restart/wait option" is appearing.
after restart, all windows sidebar's gadget, yahoo messenger icons are appearing in the taskbar down ( which normally does not appear in task bar)and they are again not responding to close/ minimize/maximize anything from the taskbar.
can anybody diagnosis the disease?this also i have done , but in vain.
additionally, from yesterday, i am not getting wirless network detected by my laptop.
wirless button is switched on. my mobile which is kept just beside laptop, getting connected with my wireless router, but laptop is telling "no wireless detected"
i tried to format and re installed OS, but the system colud not format because the recovery folder stored in hard disk has something missing.
recovery folder normally contains image file, how a single file can be missed from image file is also a mistery.
now do i have any other option left apart from using recovery disc?
using recovery disc will lead me a severe problem because i have created 2 other partition and saved alot of work on those partition, and recovery disc is going to remove the total (my created) partition and will bring the only partition given by manufacturer.
