Re: Some questions regarding the Satellite P200-1FC

Hi folks,
my trusty laptop has died and I need a new one. The P200-1FC seems to fit the bill, and I have a few questions that I hope this is the right place for.
Is there a hardware switch (or key combo) to inactivate the touch pad? Is there an indicator of the state of the touchpad?
Is there a hardware switch to inactivate the wireless networking components?
Is it possible to add physical memory to the dedicated graphics card?
I know you can filch memory from system to increase that available for graphics operations, but does it make more sense to add system memory or to add graphics memory.
What's the loadout for the system memory slots in base factory config with 2GB RAM? Are there 4 slots or 2? Are they all filled?
Just how difficult is it to "downgrade" the machine to XP? Are there XP drivers available for all the components?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi
Im not P200 owner but I will try to answer your questions;
> Is there a hardware switch (or key combo) to inactivate the touch pad?
Yes, the FN+F9 key combination should enable and disable the touchpad!
> Is there an indicator of the state of the touchpad?
Well, in the task bar you should get an notification icon if the touchpad was disabled
> Is there a hardware switch to inactivate the wireless networking components?
Yes, the WLan switch is available at the notebooks side (probably on the front side).
> Is it possible to add physical memory to the dedicated graphics card?
No, the graphic card supports an own local cache memory. The graphic cards support also hyper memory. This hyper memory depends on amount of the main memory. Total Video Memory is sum of local cache and Hyper Memory.
But once again; physical memory cannot be added!
> What's the load out for the system memory slots in base factory config with 2GB RAM? Are there 4 slots or 2? Are they all filled?
There are 2 memory slots and the notebook was delivered with 2x1024MB modules.
The notebook supports max 4GB of memory but as far as I know the Windows 32bit recognizes only 3.02GB because of the 32bit OS limitation!
> Just how difficult is it to "downgrade" the machine to XP? Are there XP drivers available for all the components?
Its not difficult to downgrade the notebook to the XP OS.
On the Toshiba site
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
you should find all XP drivers for the P200 PSPB6

View questions regarding the Satellite A205-S5859

I would like to know the following:
1. Is there a problem with the speakers from it first use. The sound volume degrades. You have to set it to 100.
2. Can I upgrade the onboard video to a dedicated video ?
3. What's the maximum memory for this model ? Where is the memory chip located ?

A friend of mine has a A200 notebook. Its not A205 but very similar. The A205 is designed for the US market and the A200 for the European market.
So finally I can provide some suggestions regarding the point:
1) Any sound volume issues are not known to me Everything is working ok.
2) No, the graphic card upgrade is definitely not possible
3) I presume this info can be found in the user manual. Did you check this??
But I think there is a possibility for a upgrade to 4GB RAM. But I would not recommend upgrading the RAM to 4GB due to the 32bit OS limitation. All 32bit OSs can handle max 3.2GB RAM.
Finally the position of the memory slots; I think its at the bottom of the unit.
Cheers

Some questions regarding the iPhone app

Hi, I have an iPhone 6 Plus using the app version as I don't own a computer, and am currently on my second day of the 7-day Premium Free Trial period. I just have some questions I'd like to ask about it:
1) I have an extremely large music library, and I'm pleased to see that Spotify has most of what I own. However, for the past several hours it refuses to let me add any new artists/albums/songs to my lists, and when a new album is added, it will vanish from the artist list the next time I turn on my phone. At the same time, I actually tried deleting one of my artists from my Artist list, only to have to reappear the same way. Is this an error, or is there a limit of how much content you can add to your lists?
2) What happens when the 7-day trial period is over? Does it just start automatically billing me, or does it give the option of opting out?
Thanks for your help in advance. :)

Hello , Welcome to the community! :)
I am unaware of a bug like that, is their any chance that it could be fixed by now
If you gave payment info/subscribed via itunes then yes it will start billing you, you stop this by folowing these steps:
Canceling your subscription reverts your account to the Free level.
Go to the subscription page. (Note: If you don’t know your password, go here to reset it.)
Under Subscription and payment, click cancel your subscription.
Select a reason (select Other reasons if you're canceling for a promotion). Click CONTINUE.
Click CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION.
Enter your password in the password field. Click CANCEL SPOTIFY PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION.
Your subscription page now shows the date you will revert to our Free ad-based service. We hope you decide to upgrade again!
Note: If you subscribed through any other company than Spotify, you need to contact that company to cancel. If your subscription is through iTunes, please see Apple's instructions for canceling.
I hope this helped :)

Some question regarding the DATAPUMP parameter

Hi,
I am trying to perform a database import using the EXCLUDE=GRANT parameter but I get the following errors
ORA-39002: invalid operation
ORA-39168: Object path GRANT was not found.
What is the correct syntax of using the parameter?
=====================================
In the old import method the ANALYZE parameter was available, what is the equivalent parameter (if any) in DATAPUMP import?
Thanks,
Barry

SYNTAX?????
Did you ever consider that syntax can be looked up in the very fine reference manual?
=================================================
I don't want to be flippant or rude, but if people want to be professionals in ANY field, the first knowledge they need to acquire is how to locate AND USE+ the fundamental reference materials for that profession. And the most important trait, the one for which they are really hired, is the ability to do independent research, and having a modicum of curiosity that would drive one to do that research. We don't mind helping newbies, and even the most experienced person on this board will run into something they are not familiar with, or occasionally just require a second set of eyes to look at something. But a professional+ needs, above all, a willingness and capability to check the docs. A professional isn't necessarily someone who has all the answers at their fingertips or has a full understanding about every arcane subject in their field. It certainly isn't someone who has an encyclopedia full of memorized answers but little understanding of how it all fits together. It's someone who knows where to find the answers when needed, how to recognize them when he sees them. It's less about knowing than it is about attitude. Everything you asked can be answered in the Oracle Concepts Manual at tahiti.oracle.com. You should bookmark that site.
=================================================
Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
Drill down to your product and version.
BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.

Some questions on the Sleek

Hey there. I have some questions regarding the Zen Sleek, since I may get one to replace my Zen Xtra.
First of all, how much does it cost to have the battery replaced? I've heard/read that you cannot do it yourself (which irks me to know end), but I haven't found anywhere what it would cost to have it sent in once the battery is dead.
Second, does the unit scratch easily? I don't want to buy an ugly, bulky case for it (since that's all that seems to be out there for anything that's not a Micro), but if the Sleek scratches as easily as the iPod, I may be forced to.
Thanks in advance for your help.

cera wrote:Thanks SSR, I'll have to look into the battery replacement program. I've read up on the CreativeCare protection plan, and it SEEMS that the battery would be covered under it. I'll have to e-mail or call and check.
I know the battery is covered under warranty, but it certainly shouldn't die ordinarily during that period.
I've left the screen protecting sheet on my Zen Xtra, and it's in great shape, so unless it becomes obnoxious, I think I'll end up leaving it on the Sleek as well. I may look into buying a case, or possibly just making my own.
There are some threads on cases for the Sleek so it's worth searching back. Creative often fail to launch a case as an accessory, or certainly to launch one at the same time as the player is released. This is a great shame, aside from not bundling a good case with the player, as it keeps the player looking good and may well end up making it last longer.
This is completely off topic, but I just realized that you wrote/host that excellent Donnie Darko FAQ. It helped me a lot when I first saw the movie and tried to figure it out.
Glad it helped

Some simple questions regarding the Xcode.

I have some preliminary questions regarding the Xcode (objective C):
What is the difference between the programming files followed by .h and .m?
What does an asterisk * followed by a text mean (i.e. *window;)?
Is there any source that briefly explains the most common codes with examples (nsstring, nsarray, iboutlet, inaction.....etc)?
Any other tips will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Xcode is the IDE.
Objective-C is the most common language used within Xcode.
UIWindow *window ..... the * means return the address of the instance variable 'window'.
An * is called a pointer to a variable.

Satellite P200-1FC: CD/DVD drive will not start - error Code 10

My Satellite P200-1FC was purchased in January 2008 and preloaded with Vista Home Premium. The DVD/CD Drive is listed in device manager as "TSST corp CDDVDW TS-L632H ATA Device".
At first the drive worked perfectly, but has recently refused to start. Device manager now shows it with a yellow exclamation mark and it's status is given as "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
Clicking check for solutions produces "could not load driver software" but no solution.
Searching similar questions in user forums suggests a use of a Microsoft Help & Support page headed "The CD drive or the DVD drive does not work as expected on a computer that you upgraded to Windows Vista".
However this involves modifying the registry! As a relative novice I am reluctant to do this unless I can find no easier way.
Must I bite the bullet and and enter this minefield, or is there a better way?

>At first the drive worked perfectly, but has recently refused to start. Device manager now shows it with a yellow exclamation mark and it's status is given as "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
This error is definitely caused by a wrong registry entry.
I had such error several times ago and I have solved it removing the lower and upper filters from these registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Here are some steps how it worked on my Windows system;
- I removed the CD/DVD drive from the device manager
- Then edited the registry as described above
- Rebooted the notebook
Im sure it will help you too.
Bye

2nd HDD for Satellite P200-1FC

Is is possible to install a 2nd HDD in a Satellite P200-1FC (PSPB6E)? There is an empty bay, but no connector. Is it possible to purchase and install a connector so that a 2nd HDD can be fitted?

Very often discussed theme on this forum!
If there is no connector the upgrade is not possible. Notebook case is for all P200 the same. Some of them are delivered with 2 HDDs. Because of that you have found empty place for second HDD. The mainboard in your notebook is not prepared to work with 2 HDDs.
The same situation is on my P200D.

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac Pro

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac pro (early 2009).
These questions might seem stupid to many of you, but, as my last, in fact my one and only, computer before the Mac Pro was a IICX/4/80 running System 7.5, I am a complete novice regarding this particular matter.
A few days ago I installed a WD3000HLFS VelociRaptor 300GB in bay 1, and moved the original 640GB HD to bay 2. I now have 2 bootable internal drives, and currently I am using the VR300 as my startup disk. Instead of cloning from the original drive, I have reinstalled the Mac OS, and all my applications & software onto the VR300. Everything is backed up onto a WD SE II 2TB external drive, using Time Machine. The original 640GB has an eDrive partition, which was created some time ago using TechTool Pro 5.
The system will be used primarily for photo editing, digital imaging, and to produce colour prints up to A2 size. Some of the image files, from scanned imports of film negatives & transparencies, will be 40MB or larger. Next year I hope to buy a high resolution full frame digital SLR, which will also generate large files.
Currently I am using Apple's bundled iPhoto, Aperture 2, Photoshop Elements 8, Silverfast Ai, ColorMunki Photo, EZcolor and other applications/software. I will also be using Photoshop CS5, when it becomes available, and I will probably change over to Lightroom 3, which is currently in Beta, because I have had problems with Aperture, which, until recent upgrades (HD, RAM & graphics card) to my system, would not even load images for print. All I had was a blank preview page, and a constant, frozen "loading" message - the symbol underneath remained static, instead of revolving!
It is now possible to print images from within Aperture 2, but I am not happy with the colour fidelity, whereas it is possible to produce excellent, natural colour prints using its "minnow" sibling, iPhoto!
My intention is to buy another 3 VR300s to form a 4 drive Raid 0 array for optimum performance, and to store the original 640GB drive as an emergency bootable back-up. I would have ordered the additional VR300s already, but for the fact that there appears to have been a run on them, and currently they are out of stock at all, but the more expensive, UK resellers.
I should be most grateful to receive advice regarding the following questions:
QUESTION 1:
I have had a look at the RAID setting up facility in Disk Utility and it states: "To create a RAID set, drag disks or partitions into the list below".
If I install another 3 VR300s, can I drag all 4 of them into the "list below" box, without any risk of losing everything I have already installed on the existing VR300?
Or would I have to reinstall the OS, applications and software again?
I mention this, because one of the applications, Personal accountz, has a label on its CD wallet stating that the Licence Key can only be used once, and I have already used it when I installed it on the existing VR300.
QUESTION 2:
I understand that the failure of just one drive will result in all the data in a Raid 0 array being lost.
Does this mean that I would not be able to boot up from the 4 drive array in that scenario?
Even so, it would be worth the risk to gain the optimum performance provide by Raid 0 over the other RAID setup options, and, in addition to the SE II, I will probably back up all my image files onto a portable drive as an additional precaution.
QUESTION 3:
Is it possible to create an eDrive partition, using TechTool Pro 5, on the VR300 in bay !?
Or would this not be of any use anyway, in the event of a single drive failure?
QUESTION 4:
Would there be a significant increase in performance using a 4 x VR300 drive RAID 0 array, compared to only 2 or 3 drives?
QUESTION 5:
If I used a 3 x VR300 RAID 0 array, and installed either a cloned VR300 or the original 640GB HD in bay 4, and I left the Startup Disk in System Preferences unlocked, would the system boot up automatically from the 4th. drive in the event of a single drive failure in the 3 drive RAID 0 array which had been selected for startup?
Apologies if these seem stupid questions, but I am trying to determine the best option without foregoing optimum performance.

Well said.
Steps to set up RAID
Setting up a RAID array in Mac OS X is part of the installation process. This procedure assumes that you have already installed Mac OS 10.1 and the hard drive subsystem (two hard drives and a PCI controller card, for example) that RAID will be implemented on. Follow these steps:
1. Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities).
2. When the disks appear in the pane on the left, select the disks you wish to be in the array and drag them to the disk panel.
3. Choose Stripe or Mirror from the RAID Scheme pop-up menu.
4. Name the RAID set.
5. Choose a volume format. The size of the array will be automatically determined based on what you selected.
6. Click Create.
Recovering from a hard drive failure on a mirrored array
1. Open Disk Utility in (/Applications/Utilities).
2. Click the RAID tab. If an issue has occurred, a dialog box will appear that describes it.
3. If an issue with the disk is indicated, click Rebuild.
4. If Rebuild does not work, shut down the computer and replace the damaged hard disk.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Drag the icon of the new disk on top of that of the removed disk.
7. Click Rebuild.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2559
Drive A + B = VOLUME ONE
Drive C + D = VOLUME TWO
What you put on those volumes is of course up to you and easy to do.
A system really only needs to be backed up "as needed" like before you add or update or install anything.
/Users can be backed up hourly, daily, weekly schedule
Media files as needed.
Things that hurt performance:
Page outs
Spotlight - disable this for boot drive and 'scratch'
SCRATCH: Temporary space; erased between projects and steps.

(normally I'd link to Wikipedia but I can't load right now)
Disk drives are the slowest component, so tackling that has always made sense. Easy way to make a difference. More RAM only if it will be of value and used. Same with more/faster processors, or graphic card.

Some questions regarding CO-PA

Hello Experts,
I have some questions regarding de COPA module:
1-Where can i find wich G/L accounts are assigned to a especific condition type? Is there any transaction where i can check the g/l accounts for the condition types?
2-I heard that the condition type VPRS is statistical, can anyone explain me this concept?..wich accounts are assigned to this condition type?
3-Does anyone has a list of the most relevat transactions for COPA? especially regarding the value flows and the closing.
Thnak you for your support!
Leandro.

Hi,
a) VKOA transaction
b) try reading this one: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/40/c52df80d1e11d2b5cf0000e82de856/frameset.htm Statistical means that the value in the CO-PA document for VPRS is also updated (truly) in other CO component. For example, revenue could be assigned truly to CO-PA segment and statistically to, let's say, cost centre. With material costs - it's the opposite.
c) most of the data is flowing to CO-PA from other modules. However, just go to the standard menu: the transactions for CO-PA are not so many.

Eli

Re: How to reset Satellite P200-1FC upgraded to 7

Hi there,
Is it possible to reset my Satellite P200-1FC that came with Vista, with the product recovery disc if I have upgraded to windows 7?
The problem is incredibly slow internet connection where other laptops all work fine - is this likely to help anyway?
Many thanks

Hi Tilda,
Yes, its no problem to restore you notebook to factory settings with Toshiba recovery disk. This can be done every time and how often you want and matter what operating system is installed.
So insert the recovery disk and follow the screen instructions to get out of box settings back :)

Question regarding the pen tool (w/ picture inside)

Hello everyone! I have a question regarding the pen tool. I think this picture is very helpful for my question:
So in this pic is an orange rectangle and within that rectangle is a blue stripe. I would like the blue stripe to be perfectly flush (not over, and not under) the edge of the rectangle. For example, on the bottom end of the blue stripe, you can clearly see that the stripe does not extend far enough to the edge of the orange rectangle. At the top of the stripe, it goes a little bit over (a bit hard to see). I work with some complex shapes when using the pen tool and it is really slowing me down to compensate for over/under shapes. If it could just snap to the borders of other shapes it would make my life a lot easier. Thanks for reading and please help!

A couple of thoughts come to mind:
1. You could create the shape "face on", using guides, and the points will snap to guides with snap enabled. Then you could transform the whole thing together by selecting all the shape layers.
2. Holding down the shift key while dragging a point seems to cause it to snap to some things under some conditions. However, on having just tried to recreate what you're showing I didn't see the proper snap happening sometimes.
3. There's the full manual approach, of course where you zoom into thousands of percent and move the points by hand manually. I assume this is what you're trying to avoid.

New Driver Alert 22 May 2008 - Satellite P200-1FC

A TEMPO alert asked me to download vap-20080109135106.zip but when run it I get no further than an error message RegDBGetItem failed (1). Looking in the download I see nothing newer than year 2007. Should I just ignore this 'update'? .....and, yes, I ran the correct button version.

Hello
If you want to install latest version 1.1.7 the preinstalled one must be removed at first. I have installed this version on my Satellite P200D and flash cards are shown much faster than before (old VAP version).
Because of that I recommend you to remove preinstalled version and install version 1.1.7. I have checked Toshiba download page and this version is listed for your Satellite P200-1FC (PSPB6E).
Bye and good luck!

Re: Satellite P200-1FC - What DVD writers are compatible

Toshiba Satellite P200-1FC - need advice as what to buy to replace dvd writer which is not burning.
So going to replace it.
Thank you ricky

Hi
You need an compatible one due to the different master/slave/c-sel settings.
Im not quite sure what drives could be supported but in my user manual which was preinstalled on my notebook (unfortunately not P200) I could find a list of compatible drives. Maybe your user manual contains the similar list
But if you will not find any details about the compatible media in you user manual then you could contact the authorized service provider in your country and could order such ODD.
