Re: Satellite Pro L650-1QG lags terribly Windows 7 64bit

Hi all,
my Satellite Pro L650-1QG started to lag terribly (Windows 7 - 64 bit, Service Pack): It now often reacts delayed on input (mouse clicks, opening new tabs in browser, typing letters in Open Office etc.). Sometimes the lags are 3-5 seconds, often more, sometimes shorter. In the meantime, cursor changes to "swirling ring"-symbol. Video and Audio sometimes staggers while playing e.g. Youtube-movies. This also happens in secure boot mode.
- I reinstalled Windows through Toshiba HDD Recovery.
- Windows is up to date.
- Drivers are up to date.
- BIOS was updated in March as suggested by Toshiba. Everything went fine for month after that.
- Avira Antivir, Windows Defender and Spybot S&D do not show any hits
- PC Health shows average CPU temperature and "good" hard disk drive status
- No fingerprint software is installed (which is suggested as a source for lags in the knowledge database)
Do you know of any possibility to identify the problem?

First, thank you all for your advise. Unfortunately I still have the same problem, after trying the following:
- Installing the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Software (11.6.0.10309) - as mentioned above
- Disabling TosSENotify and ToSWaitSrv via CCleaner from the Autostart - which amounts to switching of Toshiba HDD Protection, I think
- Deactivating the Wireless Adapter and Ethernet Adapter in the Device Manager
Obviously the notebook worked somewhat faster, but I still encounter the short freeze periods. Oh dear...

Satellite Pro L650-1QG: Keyboard button mismatch

Dear audience,
i am not satisfied with the keyboard-setting of my Satellite Pro L650 1QG I5-4.
Before I had a Satellite S5200-701 which worked well for almost 8 years after i have replaced almost any critical component at half-duration.
However, finally the Controller was out of order and last week the Laptop was not functioning anymore after this problem resided for half a year but the Laptop did not fail until last week which prompted me to install and use my new laptop.
I felt very comfortable with my old laptop and his settings.
However, the new laptop has an akward setting of its keyboards.
"ALT GR" is replaced with respect to my old keyboard and now the "CTRL" button has exactly the same position as on my old laptop so that it is possible that I write an "CTRL Q" when i liked to type "ALT GR Q" or "@" which happens quite often and shuts down the program (EXIT).
How can this problem be solved. Is it possible to get a fix? Either by replacing the CTRL-button with a deaf one or by changing the setup of the Computer?
I am not sure that I can adapt to this problem since any "normal" keyboard is different and looks like that of my old laptop and working with a USB-Keyboard is no solution!
Thanks, Headlost

I think there are no many options for youYou used a keyboard which supported a different layout the L650-1QG supports the 102(Euro) A4+10key flat standard black keyboard this might be different to the older Satellite 5200-701 keyboard.
Not sure if you could replace the keyboards because of the measures so maybe the one and only option for you is the usage of external USB keyboard which would be similar to Satellite 5200-701 keyboard

Satellite Pro L650-1CG - HDMI output not working

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite Pro L650-1CG, Intel i3-350M, ATI 5650, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD
When I plug my laptop into my Toshiba HDTV and select 'Connect to a projector', all I get on the TV is a black screen.
Catalyst Control Centre can 'see' the TV, and I can adjust resolution options for both displays, but no matter what options I try, I can't get the TV to show a picture/sound.
The TV is obviously detecting SOMETHING, because it goes from a blue screen to black. On device manager, I can see the HDMI Codec but even though it says it's enabled, I can't set it as default. It says underneath that it is 'unplugged', and when I run the HDMI Control program, it says 'To use HDMI Control, you must enable it'.
I have all the latest ATI/sound drivers, as well as pretty much every driver update out there. Also, there is nothing wrong with the cable or my TV, my PS3 uses the same connection.

Generally speaking the whole thing is quite simply. From time to time I connect my Satellite P500 to BRAVIA LCD TV and I get pic on it in 5 seconds only.
TV is on
Notebook is ON
Connecting HDMI cable on both devices
On TV I must enable HDMI port
On notebook use FN+F5 and I get all available options and switch to TV only.
It works perfectly.
I dont know why you use projector option. Is HDMI port enabled properly on your TV?

Satellite Pro L650 Series - White balance of screen error

Hi all,
I am using a Satellite Pro L650 series. When I use the laptop for several hours, my screen becomes wrong white balance. In detail, the screen brightens so dazzling with strange white color. If I open some website, the pictures in the website becomes blurred images.
If I set the screen in blue color, it cannot easy realize the dazzling color, but if I set the screen in white or green and yellow, it become so abnormal colors and blurred.
I have to restart my computer, and this problem can be solved.
Is there anyone meet this problem like me?
Could you share to me what the problem is? and what is the solution for this problem?
Thank you very much,

Hi
Did you notice this screen issue running notebook with main power or just using battery power?
I read about similar notebook screen issue which was related to Intel display power saving technology.
In such case you could solve this disabling this feature. Go to Intel display panel - power tab - power source/battery - power conservation feature - display power saving technology and uncheck this option.

Satellite Pro A200 - Can't install Windows 7 due missing CD/DVD driver

Hello, I have a Satellite Pro A200, PSAE4E-046018N5 and I'm trying to install Windows 7 but I can't pass from step one because it doesn't found a driver:
A message box saying: A required CD/DVD drive devise driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
-What to do?
CD-ROM is a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA, the actual driver have version 6.0.6002.18005 (date:2006-06-21)
Best regards

Hi Peter,
Do you try an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 at the moment? If yes please try a new and clean installation of Windows 7. Does this work?
Another question: Is your CD/DVD drive working properly or is it listed with yellow exclamation mark in device manager?
In your case I would try to remove the drive from device manager and restart the notebook. After this the drive will be recognized automatically.

Satellite Pro A300 - I get the "Windows search" if I left click any folder

I have just purchased a Satellite Pro A300 and downgraded it to Windows XP SP3.
When I left-click any folder icon on my hard drive I get the 'Windows Search' window displayed instead of opening the folder. When I right-click any folder icon, the first item in the menu (bolded) is 'Search'.
How can I change the order of these menu items so as 'Open' is the first item?
Can I remove (Control Panel-Add or Remove Programs) the Windows Search facility without affecting any software I have loaded?
Is having the Windows Search facility installed the likely cause of my problem?
Thanks,
Murray

Have just solved my own problem:
1. The order of items in the shortcut menu for Folders can be changed by updating the actions for specified file types in the Folder Options Menu. Select +Folder Options+ from the +Tools+ menu of any folder, select +File Types+ and scroll down to *Folder*. Click *Advanced* then click *New* and add *Open* with *Explorer* as the program to use. Click *OK* and *Close* and bingo! Appears the order of the short-cut menu in XP is Open before search, but in XP Pro is Search followed by Open/Explore.
2. The Windows Search utility can be safely removed despite the warning issued - the Microsoft website indicates the warning is simply a generic warning and it is highly unlikely that removal will affect any software installed since the Search utility was loaded.
3. The Windows Search utility was NOT the cause of this problem.
Trust this might save others the hours of research I had to do to find this solution ...

Satellite Pro L40 - Sound Driver after Windows XP SP3 Install

Hi,
I had bought the Satellite Pro L40 about 6 months ago and the speed of the laptop was too slow with windows Vista. So I decided to install an old copy of windows XP that I had bought earlier. I upgraded the windows installation to SP3 before installing all the drivers.
Now all the drivers have been installed properly except the sound driver. I downloaded the XP version of the driver from the toshiba website but it did not work. So I though maybe the vista version would work, so I downloaded that. But that didn't work either.
Can anyone suggest a solution where I can get the sound driver to work? Preferably without having to get the windows reinstalled again.
Please help me out...!
Thanks

hi there,
Try reinstalling the soundcard driver for XP; Just go here -- > [Realtek Soundcard Driver fo XP|http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/sound-20071120150900.zip]

Re: Satellite Pro C50 - Can't install Windows 8

Hi.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro c50 with Windows 7 preinstalled.
It comes with 2 DVD's containing Windows 8.
I have tried to upgrade to Windows 8 (following the instructions included in the manual: BIOS changes, etc) but I cant install it.
After booting from the DVD, it doesnt appear the Windows 8 install utility, but the Windows 7 recovery options .
Could you please help me?
Thanks in advance,
Sergio

Exactly the same problem.
Toshiba Portege R-930.
Comes with Win 7 preinstalled and 2 CDs with image of Win 8 (Win 8 sticker on bottom of the laptop).
Followed the directions in the leaflet to upgrade to Win 8 (change in BIOS, etc.) like the user above.
It gets only to a blue screen with two options:
1) Toshiba recovery - a frightening black screen with warning that every data will be lost) and
2) System recovery, getting nowhere but to "switch off computer".
At one point got the message that the disc is locked.
Gave up, returned safely to Win 7.
If someone could explain how to do this properly,
Thanks

Satellite Pro L850 1DR - Problems with Windows 7 Update KB2887069

I am having problems installing Update KB2887069.
It appears to install okay ... invites me to restart ... when I do it says it is configuring ... gets to 7% then starts the restart ... shows it is configuring again ... up to 7 or 9% ... then reports it is failing and restoring ... restarts again ... and that's it ... not installed and reference to Windows Update confirms it has failed.
All the other updates I had today installed okay once I realised KB2887069 was the problem and omitted it from the update.
I'm running Win 7 Prof Serv Pack 1 - 64-bit on a Toshiba Satellite Pro L850 1DR. I use Microsoft Security Essentials as my AV software.
For now I have had to hide the update ... but anyone any bright ideas how to overcome the problem. I have tried Microsoft's site but as yet there are no answers that have provided a solution for me.
Thanks in anticipation!!

I am "replying to myself" on this one so if anyone else has experienced a similar problem they can see what I did to resolve the matter.
I contacted Microsoft and received excellent support ... although it took a long old time (over the course of 3 days) to resolve the problem, the staff at Microsoft knew their stuff and proceeded tenaciously to overcome every obstacle.
I did feel somewhat sorry for them that one little update should result in the need to offer so much commitment to just one customer ... I was also grateful the resolution was achieved over a time when I was not that busy!
Additional Info: I refer above to 3 days ... for those interested, the time was spent as follows:
Day 1: about an hour and a half covering all the basic checks including sfc /scannow etc after which the update would still not install. (I had done these but accepted Microsoft needed to have the opportunity to check the situation for themselves).
Day 2: a technician called me at a pre-agreed time and having done a few more checks decided to re-download Windows 7.1 (over 3 GB ... on my connection that took a long time) and re-install it (without affecting my data, thank goodness ... but again the process of installation took a long time). The technician left me to do all the updating (a further 3-400MB). Time commitment for me about 5 hours ... but I was able to work on other things while the download, install etc was on as long as I kept half an eye on the screen.
Day 3: the same technician called me back (just when he said he would) ... told him I had no problems with updates (incl KB2887069) but was getting a weird message in Outlook when following hyperlinks and also I could not install IE11 for some reason. Both problems were resolved and other tiny matters sorted over the course of one hour.
Summary: problem therefore took up to 7.5 hours of my time to overcome, approximately half of which I was able to turn my attention to other things on another machine. In my view an acceptable investment of time to have the peace of mind of knowing everything is working just as it should be. I was impressed with Microsoft's staff who were as reliable as they were friendly and patient.

Satellite Pro C650, Boots OK, after Windows starts up the screen goes white

Hi,
I have a Satellite Pro C650.
It boot fine.
I can see Windows starting up - after startup - the screen goes completely white.
Has anyone seen this?
Am geussing it might be a loose display connection - but I the screen displays the startup sequence and initial windows startup.
Regards,
eeiddne

Hi
I dont think your display is faulty.
What happens if you access the BIOS at the beginning?
To access the BIOS press F2 while powering on the unit.
Access the BIOS and keep it running for some minutes and check if the display will turn to white.
Additionally its advisable to connect an external monitor and to output the display to the 2nd screen. If the 2nd screen would not be OK, then the graphic chip might be the troublemaker.

Satellite Pro L550-17U PSLW9E - Win 7 64bit HDD recovery question

Hi,
Basically when I recieved the laptop it had the Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed.
I created the backup disks as requested but the first disk got scratched and gets stuck on the install, I can install the 32 bit version (the CD it came with) and I've tried to create a new recovery disk via the 32 bit system but this just creates a 32 bit recovery disk (which I already had the proper disk).
Just seeing if there is any way to restore the 64 bit system without having to buy a new version of windows?
Satellite Pro L550-17U
Part Number : PSLW9E-01500MEN
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery) and
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (Toshiba-Recovery DVD)

Hi buddy,
The recovery disk that was delivered with your notebook contains *only* Windows 7 32bit version. That means if you install this version, you are able to create 32bit recovery disk but not 64bit. Therefore you would need the 64bit recovery disk.
In my opinion you can do nothing without ordering a 64bit recovery disk. Such disks can be ordered here:

I hope I could help you a little bit. :)

Satellite Pro U200 - No sound after Windows 7 installation

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the sound after installing Windows 7 on a Satelite Pro U200 (PLUA1E). No Win7 sound driver found on the Nordic driver website. Please help.
G.Magnason

Hi buddy,
Have you already checked the Toshiba website itself?
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
I found a sound driver for Vista 32bit and the most Vista drivers also work on Windows 7 so its worth a try!!! :)

Satellite Pro S300L - Can I install Windows 7?

Can I install windows 7 on my Satalite pro s300L if so which version 32 or 64 Bit?

Hello
First of all you can install what you want.
Why?
Its your notebook and you can do what you want with it! ;)
In my opinion its depending on the RAM which version you should install If you use 4GB or more RAM, choose the 64bit version. Otherwise 32bit is enough and therefore you can get all drivers here:

Satellite Pro 4600 - No sound on Windows XP SP3

Hi,
The 2 drivers in the download section dont work. Everest shows me that there is no Windows Audio (service started), and the Intel 82801BAM ICH2-M - AC'97 Audio Controller [B-2] PCI.
No driver is installed now.
Any ideas?

Hi buddy,
Have you yellow exclamation marks in device manager?
If yes you should choose the device (I assume the sound card), right click and choose update driver. Then select the driver files from downloaded file (unzipped).
As Xardas wrote, make sure that Windows Audio service is running:
Start > Run > Services.msc
There you can check Windows Audio. It must be started and start type set to automatic.
