Re: Satellite P100-434: Unable to load sound drivers running Xp Pro

I have a P100-434 (SPAD), which is currently running XP Pro I decided that I wanted to rebuild the OS as it was becomming very cluttered and slow.
I have partitioned the HD and installed a 2nd copy of XP Pro with dual boot, however I find that I cannot load the sound drivers onto the NEW XP.
Driver installation aborts and reports NO MEDIA FOUND.
I checked the driver that I had downloaded against the old XP installation and it works fine, finds the sound card and installs the drivers.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to why a vanilla OS installation can't find the soundcard.
So can anyone point me in the right direction to get some sound? (I have reloaded XP twice with the same result each time).

Windows XP needs *KB888111* and *KB835221* hotfix from MS site before you will install sound driver.
- you have to install both patches
- download the Conexant sound driver from the Toshiba page. I found two different versions. I would recommend checking both!
- remove the old sound driver from device manager reboot the notebook and install the new downloaded sound driver

Satellite P100-434 startup issue BSOD

Hello everybody!
I have Toshiba Satellite P100-434 laptop and lately I have encountered many problems during the startup.
1. The laptop starts normally up to the writing the password. Then, in the middle of typing BSOD.
2. The laptop gets BSOD or turns off about 2 seconds after the Microsoft bar has appeared.
3. The laptop doesn't turn on - after launch there is only one flash of three blue diodes on the right and the screen stays blank. No Toshiba welcome screen.
After few attempts I succeed with getting the Toshiba welcome screen (it's after the second flash), but there are another issues later, the laptop turns off or tries to Launch Startup Repair. It says only about unspecified error and restores back to the previous state.
4. I tried to enter the Safe Mode, but few times I encountered the same: the laptop turns off after loading some drivers.
BSOD are too short for me to spot what is going on - I spotted only BAD POOL something and IRQL NOT EQUAL something as if it was something with drivers, presumably the NVIDIA display driver. I uninstalled it and downloaded new one and installed it (version 7.15.11.5666). Ths is NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600. Once there was some information about dxgkrnl.sys?
I did Windows Memory Test at startup - no errors.
I scanned for any viruses: my AVG removed some Cryptor virus, but the problem still is there.
The OS is Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2.
I don't know what is the problem. Is it the display driver or any other driver? Or maybe some power related problems? Any advice welcome!

Additional information:
Yesterday I encountered again the same problem: BSOD during typing the password: IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL; STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x8888E1E3), disk.sys address 8888E1E3 base of 88880000, DateStamp 49e01ef2.
I turned the laptop off manually and after 30 some attempts I succeeded with switching it on again (up to then there was no Toshiba welcome screen and the display remained blank) to meet up with another BSOD shortly after launch of Windows:
STOP 0x0000000A (0x0000000B, 0x000000FF, 0x00000000, 0x8B48F3AD)
The next launch the system made the CHKDSK. There were plenty of index entries being deleted, but there were not bad sectors or anything. When I finally got through all this, I did another diagnostic of the HDD, but it showed no problems.
Anyway: I would like to know whether the problem is hardware or rather software related, because I wouldn't take my laptop to repair if there is something I could do by downloading/reinstalling.

Playing Call of Duty 4 on Satellite P100-434

Hi all,
I have recently purchased my Toshiba Satellite P100-434 (Intel 1.66 Dual / 2GB RAM / Go7600) and have just tried gaming on the system.
I have installed COD4 and tried to play but it seems as the laptop has big issues running it.
I have updated my display drivers to the nvidia vista 32-bit ones downloaded from this site seems to have made very little if no diffrence.
I am running the game with every setting to minimal with res. of 640x480 and it still struggles.
Everything on the laptop should be sufficient for running this game except for the cpu which is recommended a 1.8 dual and this is a 1.66 dual. could just this be why the game cannot run too well?
I wouldnt have thought so.
I have had friends who have run this game on worse spec pc's.
Any suggestions what could be my problem or what else I could do to improve the performance?
Many thanks...

Hi
If got a Satellite notebook with a high performance AMD CPU and the newest ATI Radeon graphic card.
Im running Windows XP due to better game performance. The Vista needs more hardware resources and therefore I prefer the XP.
Anyway, last week Ive installed the COD4 and believes me this game needs more hardware resources as you believe.
Nevertheless you should be able to run the COD4 using the 1024x768 resolution. But its another question if COD4 would run smoothly.
However, I found an Toshiba FAQ doc regarding some video 'stutter' during game play using Windows Vista:
Check this:
[New video driver and BIOS eliminates video 'stutter' during game play (Windows Vista)|http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1924 764xml&sliceId=&dialogID=46208288&stateId=0%200%20 46206416]
Regarding to this doc the display driver & BIOS update should help to improve the performance.
Bye

Unable to load facebook on my MacBook Pro

I have been unable to load facebook on my MacBook Pro for almost the past 2 weeks on my wireless internet at home. It started out not loading using Google Chrome, but the problem quickly spread to all of my browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari). On Chrome I get the following message: "No Data Recieved Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data. Error 324." On Safari, it says "Safari can't open the page." My internet connection is fine for all other websites other than facebook. Furthermore, when I brought my MacBook Pro out-of-town facebook worked fine on a different internet source. In addition, facebook and all other websites are able to load on other devices on my home internet (desktops, laptops, iPad, iPod).
I have contacted both my internet service provider and the manufacturer of my router and neither company had any idea how to fix it. They seemed to think it was either a facebook problem or a problem with my MacBook.
I have a tried a few things that seemed to provide a temporary fix lasting about 5 mintues or a few clicks around facebook:
1. clearing the cache and history in my browswers
2. changing some settings on my router
3. restarting the router
4. connecting to the internet using ethernet instead of wireless
I would really appreciate any help in trying to fix this problem!

Hello there,
I had the same exact problem. This is a simple DNS issue which you can fix through your system prefernces. Look at the DNS setup (System Preferences/Network/Wireless/Advanced)
After doing so, go to THC/IP then there try to change in the Configure IPV: to DNS manual address, try inserting the ip address you had previously. It wont work but by doing so, the computer will try to inster new settings. Then go back to was there before which is Using DHCP... then go back to DNS tab on top add your ip address and connect as usual. This worked for me, I was lucky I have no clue how it worked I was just trying to fool around with the DNS settings which are clearly the source of the issue.
hope it works for you.

Satellite P100 PSPAD: Unable to update BIOS 3.8 and poor video performance

Hello,
I have absolute shoddy video performance on my machine as well as the fan on/off issues.
To add to my frustrations the WinPhlash programme included in BIOS version 3.8 dumps out when trying to flash giving a PHLASHNT.SYS unable to load message with various error codes associated with it (codes 5 and 147 depending on if I run the exe as it is extracted from the ZIP, or run the extracted files independantly).
I have checked all permissionings on the folder and I definately have full control - but still a generic "check your accounts, if you have no permissions please log in again!" message is displayed.
any help with my BIOS issue would be apreciated.
[Edited by: admin on 06-Jul-2007 11:10]

Hi,
I have had the same error message on P100 PSPADE and furthermore the laptop was no longer under control, neither by keyboard or by menu impossible to switch off. I have had to unplug and to remove the battery. Then impossible to switch on.
According to the local ASP the motherboard is KO (??) and the safest way to upgrade the bios was to boot from an USB floppy in DOS mode?
Sounds strange but be careful.

Satellite P100-434 Older BIOS needed

Hello everyone,
I'm in serious need of an older BIOS version for a P100-434 (PSPAD/E) laptop. I recently flashed my BIOS with the latest version 4.80 and am having problems:
- My CD/DVD Drive has disappeared
- According to SpeedFan everything except HD0 is on fire - Temp1, Core 0 and 1 above 50C and my GPU above 60C
- The fans keep going off like crazy
- It sometime freezes
After flashing, it automatically rebooted and froze for 10sec or more and then Windows took ages to load all the drivers (the loading bar kept going for 21sec or more, usually only takes half that).
I was running version 4.70 before and had completely (as far as I could tell) no problems with it but I thought updating it might give me better stability. I would really appreciate any help you can give, thanks.

When the new BIOS update is available old version is not downloadable anymore. What you can try is to contact nearest authorized service provider and ask for help. They have access to Toshiba database and Im pretty sure they can obtain older version for you.
1/ to be honest I cannot imagine ODD issue has anything to do with BIOS update. Is optical disc drive recognized in BIOS, device manager or Windows explorer? Remove it from the device manager list, restart notebook and check functionality again. Check also method offered by Akuma
2/ Believe me these temperatures are not critical so there is no reason for panic.
3/ if you want to reduce cooling fan activity change settings for cooling method. These settings you can find in Toshiba power saver utility.
4/ For such periodical freezing issues is not easy to offer some solution. Watch carefully what happen exactly. Maybe is some certain activity responsible for this freezing issues.

Video and game performance Satellite P100-434

I got myself a nice new P100-434 just 2 weeks ago, When tring to play a game or a DVD It starts of ok but after a short time the frame rate drops right of then comes back up then back down..
I took it back to the shop and they gave me a new one but the same thing happens.
Anyone else had noticed the same. If so tell me how to handle with it.

I've had the exact same problem for a number of weeks, exchanged for a new one (identical notebook) and I still have the problem. I've even tried to get it fixed but to no avail. The guy I took it to seemed to think it had something to do with the DVD drive but to me it looks like a power supply issue. I put the videocard slider down to "balanced" and the problem essentially goes away, no more random bouts of extreme slowdown. However, this forces me to play at far lower settings that what I could originally achieve without lowering the power. (but suffering the said bouts of extreme slowdown)
The difference here is that i'm running XP and still get the problem. Anyone know what causes this? I'd like to actually be able to use my videocard at its full potential.

Satellite P100-434 does not have Intel Vitualisation (VT)

Hi,
My shiney new P100-434 which cost me a fairly serious amount of money does not have Intel Vitualisation (VT) enabled which is annoying because I went for this laptop specifically because it was Core 2 Duo which supports VT and I want it in order to run KQEMU faster under Linux.
There is no option to switch it on in the BIOS and no updated BIOS available either.
Anyone know if a BIOS with the option to enable this feature is coming or suggestions for who I should complain at to make this happen faster? I see plenty of other people in the forums with other models that similarly have it disabled by default and no BIOS option to turn it on!
Cheers,
Jamie

Satellite P100-434: Wireless connection problem with Vista

Just purchased this laptop with Vista and so far have been unable to get the wireless to connect, I have 3 other computers and they will all connect, I have reset the router and set new accounts on all the other computers with no problem, but unable to do this on the P100.
Tried the new RADAR feature and this will not pick any networks up, but when trying to establish new connection it shows that a wireless network is available but is unnamed, although my network is named, I have taken the passkey off the network so that it is open but still will not connect into it, LAN via ethernet works fine.
Wireless switch is on, but when I slide it to off wireless switch status says ON

Hi
I cannot give you an exactly answer why you cannot connect to you WLan with the Vista because there are so many options which must be checked.
But I think you will find the solution yourself with a little help from Microsoft website.
Please check this site:

There you will find many useful tips, screenshots and the advice how to connect to WLan with Vista.

K9N2GM loading sound drivers problem

Originally machine was loaded with XP SP2 and factory supplied drivers on CD (XP) All was sweet. SP3 was installed - still OK.
Windoze went slow so I have started from scratch and installed XP Home SP3 this time from original as always CD from M$.
All went sweet. Tried loading drivers from original CD and HD audio driver was complaining about SP3. But loaded driver anyway. No sound.
D/loaded drivers form MSI web page, went messy with previous drivers. Started again.
Loaded Win XP SP3 and loaded firstly system drivers, all went sweet. Loaded NVIDIA_MCP72_System_XP_MB.zip
Tried to load realtek_hd_all_mb.zip (d/loaded from Australian MSI web page) didn't look good, after restart no sound and in device manages Audio Device HD on Audio Bus still showing me that drivers are loaded.
Help! TIA

Hmmm... tried... didn't worked.
But... after installing original WinXP SP2 with original M/M drivers, no glitch in installation but sound doesn't work on SP2 either.
I have the same mobo on other computer and just connected two hdd's just to check s/ware config and... on both Sp2 and SP3 sound is working on my mobo.
Friend, who asked me to fix his machine because was slow, telling me that sound was always working on it.
It's there a possibility that his speakers (5.1) connected before to 3 outputs could cause the problem and on one (2 speakers on one green socket) the mobo would be confused?
I would say that very unlikely. Also transporting the machine in a car could damage something but when I move sliders of volume on Realtek software I can here scratchy sound every time I move the slider.
When I connect or disconnect the cable from the speakers, s/ware showing it immediately.
Any other thoughts???

Why am I getting "Unable to load a labview run-time engine because teststand is shutting down" error?

After running a successfull TestUUT's in a custom UI. I exit my UI, then open it again and I get Error Code -17338.
See attached for detail .jpg
Collegues of mine suggest it's because I haven't closed a reference somewhere, but I have closed everything possible.
Any suggestions?

Perry,
Thanks for getting back to me today.
I have closed everything I know how to and compared to the Simple OI.
You mention closing the Application manager, but I don't see that happening anywhere. Do you mean closing the application, and engine, and etc...? I have never closed the "Application Manager" specifically and am not sure how.
I have attached an image of how I close things up.
Thanks,

Unable to load Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro (2.16 GHz with 1 GB Ram running 10.5.8). Bought two copies of Snow Leopard. Easily installed on my MacPro 2x2.26 Quad-Core). I have tried both copies on the MacBook, it only runs the drive for awhile and spits out the disk. Have tried to hold down "C" while restarting to no avail. Anyone have any ideas.
cheers,

1. You should be able to install using [firewire target disk mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661] the "conventional" way if both of your Macs properly equipped (I am sure they are--see link) and
2. You should be able install using an image file of your DVD either while in firewire target disk mode or from a bootable external drive. Put the file on the other computer if doing the first and on the external if doing the second. To make an image file, use another computer, and
a. Insert the DVD/CD;
b. Open Disk Utility, and select the DVD/CD from the left side list (select the DVD/CD icon on top);
c. from the DU File menu select New Disk Image from Disk 1;
d. Choose to format the disk image as DVD/CD Master, name the disk image and click Save.

Displays switch around when using dual view on Satellite P100

I have a Satellite P100-434 (PSPADE). I am trying to use the laptop as the primary display and an LCD screen as a secondary monitor. I have found that no matter how I configure this, using either the Vista display properties or through the Nvidea control panel I am getting a problem where the monitors periodically swap over.
I am not bothered which device is the primary but getting the system to make it's mind up would be really usefull.
This seems to happen when I am typing, making me wonder if there is a keypress that I am inadvertantly triggering which is causing this to happen. Ideas anyone?

Hi,
you should do the following things:
- update your bios to the latest available version
- update your display drivers and any other remaining drivers in your system to the latest available version
- maybe, if the driver updates dont really help you out, recover your machine with the recovery media and check if the error re-appears.
IF all these steps didnt worked for you, then come back and we will discuss it further. :)

Can't use new external TV as a monitor for my Satellite P100-240

Hi
I have connected my Toshiba to a new Panasonic LCD 32" via a VGA cable.
When The computer boots up, I get the standard Toshiba opening page and then the Windows XP opening on the TV monitor, but then nothing while my laptop boots up.
When fully booted, I get the same desktop as the Toshiba on my TV BUT no icons etc, just the desktop.
If I change the screensave on the Toshiba, it changes on the TV so I am getting a connection.
Any advice or help greatly appreciated.
I have tried the usual things (e.g. checking box for extend my desktop onto this monitor)

Who knows why the FN keys dont work on the Satellite P100-240 PSPA3E.
Maybe the drivers and the utility were muddled up!
If you use the original Toshiba image on this notebook then everything should works ok!
You could try to refresh for example the Hotkey Utility which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.
Furthermore the NVidia Geforce manager (you can find it in the control panel) provides different settings. Check this!

Games won't run above 1024 x 768 on Satellite P100-240

I have a Satellite P100-240 with geforce 7900gs 512mb graphics, running xpmc, games run fine however they will not run above 1024 x 768.
The native resolution is 1400 x 900 but the scaling feature does not seem to work. If i try to run anyhing above 1024 it eithers goes to a default value like 640x480 or the i can only see part of the image (like the rest if off screen) is there anything i can do?
My old P10 used to just scale image to fit the wide screen.

Hi
To be honest I dont think that this is a notebook problem.
As far as I know the screen resolution can be changed in the games setup.
This fact applies to all games which I have played.
But there is no harm to try a graphic driver update.
You could try to use an nVidia driver from the www.laptopvideo2go.com site
