Satellite A100-487: Game does not run properly

My son has an A100 487, running on Windows XP. I recently bought him a game and it loads fine. The game plays for about 15 mins and then closes which returns to my desktop screen and gives an option to send an error report.
It has 1GB of RAM so I am a bit stumped, could this be a graphics problem?
Can anyone advise me and point me in the right direction. all help appreciated

Hi
Please dont be mad at me but I think the hardware seems not to be adequate to run such games.
This notebook supports an 8-128MB shared memory Intel 945GM graphic chip.
In my opinion a such graphic card is not designed to run a high performance games!
But how about the update of graphic card driver?
Sometimes newest graphic drivers could help to run new generation games with low graphic details and performance.
Check the Intel page for updates! If you will be not able to install the graphic driver automatically, then try to install the driver from device manager and assign the driver file source manually.
Good luck

    WHY?
    Mozilla still is HALF-DONE SOFTWARE!!!!!!!

    I have javazcript-enabled = TRUE in my about:config. So your comment did not solve my problem. I noticed that javascript does not run properly in some websites (forms in vk.com) but those forms run OK in OPERA - how can you explain this!?
    And I have no errors in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
    I wrote you a link to the page where javascript does not work.

  • Satellite P850-30W - Fan does not run after coming back from sleep mode

    I got a Toshiba Satellite P850-30W with bios 1.90.
    Sometimes the fan does not run at all after coming back from sleep mode on windows 7.
    This has happened twice (maybe more times without me knowing), and Ive had the computers for a month.
    Normally the fan starts running when the CPU gets over 50 celsius, and stops under 50 celisus...
    I tried running Prime95 when this fan-issue occured and the computer temps got dangerously high (close to 100 degree)! the fan did not start at all
    ...this error could potentinally damage the laptop...
    to get the fan running again I have to restart windows
    anyone else experienced this?
    I guess the fix would be to never use sleep-mode...or toshiba needs to fix it with a bios update.

    What kind of answer do you expect here in user community?
    Exact info about the fault? I dont think that somebody would be able to provide exact answer but just speculations
    In other Forum you can read about Satellite notebook; but is it exacts the same model?
    No, it seems to be an L650 series. Its completely different series .
    From my opinion its not software related problem.
    BIOS issue?
    Well, in case it would be a BIOS issue, the problem would appear always and not sometimes after being shut down 200 times.
    It could be a hardware related issue. Memory? Maybe
    In my personal opinion to get more details hardware diagnostic software should be used in order check the hardware for possible malfunction. Thats my personal opinion

  • Finder does not run properly after starting up [Mountain Lion]

    I've installed MountainLion from Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    My Mac is Macbook7,1 (Macbook White) Intel Core 2 Duo
    When the installation finish, it seems like Finder does not run. I have to click on the Finder icon on the Dock to make it run.
    And then I got some of problem after that
    1. When I Click "About This Mac", nothings happen.
    2. When I Click "Restart...", "Shutdown..." or "Sleep", nothings happen. So, I have to Shutdown or Restart my Macbook from "Login Window..." only.
    3. Some of my settings in "System Preferences" do not be saved. Such as Trackpad settings (I can't "Tap to Click" in every time I start up my Macbook, I have to use physical click instead.) and Spotlight Hotkey settings (When I switch the Language, the Spotlight is popping up.)
    I'm not sure what is the cause of these problem.
    Could anyone help me please.
    Thank You.

    I forgot to mention (and add a new level of strangeness) that Mail is retreiving all of my messages from my personal (AT&T) account without issue.
    And I just discovered an even bigger problem: all of my emails from my Sent and other folders from my work account are completely gone!
    I may have no choice but to revert to my Lion system as of yesteday, before I installed ML.

  • Satellite A30 - CD-ROM does not work properly

    My CD ROM does not work properly because of corrupted drivers. I have tried uninstalling etc. How do you load new drivers or even reformat from the recovery disc when the CD ROM drive won't work?
    Seems like catch 22. Anyone help?

    If it is really a problem with the drivers for your CD-Rom, you can recover it.
    Because you need to boot your Notebook with the Recovery CD/DVD.
    This has nothing to do with missing drivers in the Windows Operating System.
    And if you can not boot with the Recovery Disc, I would say your Disc drive is broken.

  • Stored Procedure Does Not Run Properly When Called From Portlet

    We have a simple Java portlet that calls a PL/SQL stored procedure which we wrote. The stored procedure sends a large number of emails to users in our corporation using the "utl_smtp" package. The stored procedure returns a count of the emails back to the Java portlet when it's finished. This number is displayed in the portlet.
    Our problem:
    The stored procedure functions as expected when run from a PL/SQL block in SQL*Plus, and the Java portlet calls the procedure properly when sending out a smaller number of emails (Less than 200 usually). When we get into a higher number of emails the procedure hangs when called from the portlet, but it STILL functions properly from SQL*Plus. It does not return the number of emails sent
    and the Java portlet is unable to return a SQLException. Also, we have noticed that emails are sent at a much slower pace from the stored procedure when it's called from the portlet.

    Any Ideas?

  • Configfree does not run properly under WinXP

    It looks like the Configfree is not working as it should on my Satellite laptop. I get a ghost of an image icon with Summit, Connectivity, Profiles and Q-Connect items. I can't do anything with then from the icons on the screen. Connectivity Doctor does not seem to work. I run Wndows XP.

    I had some problems with this as well on my A9. You can uninstall this and use windows to configure your wifi...this works heaps better. :)
    In Control Panel, select Administrative Tools, then Services. Start the Wireless Zero Configuration service.
    Then go to Network Connections in Control Panel, Right click on Wireless Networks and select View Available Wireless Networks. Select Advanced, select the Wireless Network tab and check the box "Allow Windows to Configure Wireless".
    After this go back to Network Connections and right click on Wireless Networks, select View Available Wireless Networks.
    Now you should be able to use Windows to configure your wifi. :)

  • Satellite A100-166 PSAA9E does not charge the battery

    Hello,
    My laptop does not charge the battery.
    Although Windows Xp recognizes the battery and says charging, the battery is not recharged.
    I tried with a spare battery as i thought the battery was defective, with same results.
    Strange is, when i turn off the laptop the power supply led stays on and blue, even without the power supply atached thus discharging the battery.
    The battery led is always amber but not charging!!!
    What is the matter with the laptop?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Generally there are three different possibilities;
    1) the AC adaptor is faulty
    2) the battery is faulty
    3) the notebooks board electronic (power supply electronic) malfunctions
    So now its necessary to check all this steps to locate the fault.
    You said that you have tested different batteries and the AC adaptor works too.
    So its possible that there is something wrong with the power supply electronic
    In such case there is no much to do as to contact the ASP in your country. The technicians should check the notebook and should run some diagnostic tests
    I recommend contacting the guys and ask for the details and for the further handling Good luck and happy new year.

  • Satellite A100-159: Battery does not charge

    I have an problem with my battery.
    Battery does not charge. I have tried to switch the battery with the one from my dad and it doesn't work either. I have switch my battery with my dad's laptop and there it is working. even i flash my bios to the version 5.20
    Someone from the store say that i must reset my motherboard because thats one of the problems.
    Does any one know how i can fix this.
    Message was edited by: anne_kleyheeg

    Hi
    Please dont use any batteries which are not 100% compatible with your notebook!
    This can damage motherboard and other 3rd notebook parts.
    As far as I know the A100 is a one of the newest Toshiba series and the warranty should be valid.
    For me it sounds a little bit like a motherboards power supply electronic fault.
    Who knows ?:| The notebook check is necessary to locate the malfunction.
    So dont waste the time and contact immediately the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.
    They technicians should check the notebook and should provide a help.
    Good luck

  • Satellite A100 bios update does not work correctly

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A100-153 PSAA9E and using Vista OS.
    How do I install the new bios?? I run the .exe and nothing happens it shows that it extracts some files and then a notepad text appears that says something like this.
    ' INVENEC Pre-Flash Script for SanAntonio10

    Dim fso, oFile etc....
    and then an error appears that says if the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe is installed correct.
    pls help

    Hm, sounds a little bit weird. I would suggest you to do the following:
    go to the drivers download page
    -> http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Download the latest common modules if available and RE-download the BIOS update.
    Then try it again. If this doesnt help then perform a full system recovery, download the BIOS update and then it MUST work.

  • Satellite P30: Power Saving does not work properly

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite P30 (with Windows XP) and I'm having problems with my Power Saving mode. When I use it for games and other high power applications it gets really hot on the edge of the moitor and shuts down.
    It is been doing this for the last month or so. Before that there was absolutelly no problem. I've checked the TPSTrace file and got this error message:
    A Fatal error has occurred. This program will be terminated. code: 0x0 Location:MainFrm.cpp(1317)
    I don not know what to do with it and how to solve the problem. Any ideas?

    Hi Thomas
    It is not easy to give you any precise diagnostic but in my opinion your notebook is not hot because of power saver. Satellite P30 is pretty old notebook and maybe you should clean up your notebook.
    Have you done this before?
    This error seems to be serious and what you can do is to remove preinstalled power saver and after restart try to install it again.
    Just for info: power saver tool is very useful but definitely not so important and your system can work well without it. Because of that I presume hot notebook is because of dust inside. With more CPU and graphic card activity hardware will be hot and it must be cooled properly. If the cooling grill is not clean this can not happen. at the beginning notebook will be hot but one day it will probably switch off without any warning.
    At first step try to clean your notebook and remove all dust under cooling grill.

  • Game does not run well in Classic

    On one of my computers, I am still running Panther and OS 9. The only reason for this is that I have an old mahjong (OS 9) game which I like quite much. When I upgraded to Tiger, I also installed Classic and I could run the game, but on certain actions, the game always stuck.
    Does this make any sense? Can I install Classic in Tiger in a way that the game will run without any problem?
    FYI:
    - friends of mine had exactly the same problem with this game when upgrading to Tiger
    - I cannot contact the manufacturer of the game. It is Japanese and on their site there is neither an e-mail address nor a fax number (if they would understand English at all).
    Thanks for your help.

    Classic works... most of the time. Maybe 85-90% of apps have no problems, and most of the ones which have problems also have work-arounds. Unfortunately the ones which have problems and no work-arounds usually have those problems because of a decision made back in basic design, and there is no cure short of re-writing the app from scratch. Which is not going to happen with, for example, a game dating from 1989 whose vendor went out of business in the early 90s, and which was picked up by another vendor, who went out of business in the mid 90s. (Yes, Harpoon, I'm talking about you. It eats 100% of CPU cycles on a 2.1GHz G5 iMac and gigs upon gigs of RAM and then freezes for lack of system resources, when I know that it'll run on a 25MHz IIsi in 17MB RAM because I used to play it on that hardware... Grrr... The 'This game requires 256 colors' screen which pops up forcing me to reduce the colour settings from millions to 256 really irritates, too. Grrr...) But those decisions were taken by others, not by Apple, and usually those decisions directly ignored Apple's advice. (The 256-color pop-up, for example: Apple said that it was okay to check for required colour levels, so long as the required level was the floor; these guys also made it the ceiling which is a no-no. And the concept of 'memory leak' was alien to them. I suspect that there's a reason why they went bust.)

  • Stand alone labview application (.exe file) does not run properly

    Hi all,
    I am trying to make a stand alone labview application to run on another computer ( I have never done this before).
    I went through the tools->build application prompts and was able to build an exe file.
    the program is supposed to control a power meter and make power measurements then save them to a text file.
    When I run the exe file, on the same computer I compiled the exe file on, the program generates a text file to save data to but it can not communicate with the power meter.
    There are some sub-VIs and a dll file that are used to communicate with the power meter. Could it be that I am not telling labview to correctly
    include these files when I create an executable?
    What are some common problems that occur when generating stand alone applications that could be causing my issues?
    And does anyone know of any good tutorials on generating stand alone applications in labview other than the NI help files?
    Thanks for your help,
    Solved!

    Hi Bill, thanks for your suggestions.
    I haven't tried to run this app on another computer yet. I'm just trying to run it on the computer it was developed on.
    The computer I developed it on has all the drivers/resources I need to control the power meter.
    Also, I don't know how to include the VISA runtime with my installer. could you explain how this is done?
    This is the first time IV tried to turn any labview programs into stand alone exe files so I don't anything about how to do it other than what I've seen in youtube videos and help files.
    If you know of any good tutorials that will help me figure this out I would appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    My fault - I didn't read that this was the same computer.  I know the very end of Core 3 studies shows how to build an executable and installer, but even that is very general.  I'm not sure if there exists a tutorial on how to do it.
    As for including the runtimes, when you build an installer, you have to include the runtimes that your executable will need.  It's fairly straightforward.
    Since it won't run on the machine that built it, I'll have to think about it a little bit...

  • Delegated Admin for Messaging does not run properly

  • Captivate project not running properly on iPad

    Hello,
    I built a project using Captivate 7.0.  When I published the project, I checked both the SWF and HTML5 boxes so the tutorial would run on an iPad.  However, when I view the tutorial on the iPad, the tutorial does not run properly.  The pages do not advance (even though, in Captivate, I have the slides advancing automatically - not on mouse clicks), all of the bullets on a slide do not appear, and the narration stops in the middle of a slide and does not resume.
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Sarah

    Hi Joel,
    I removed all bullet animations and re-published the project (I checked the "Force re-publish all the slides").  My tutorial runs on an iPad, without the slides hanging up.  It appears removing the bullet annimations solved that issue.  Thanks for the suggestion.
    However, neither my music introduction on the first slide nor my narration on subsequent slides comes in.  I confirmed I do not have "mute" on and that my volume is up.  Also, I confirmed the sound works by running the tutorial on my desktop. 
    Do you have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Sarah
