Satellite A100 - message: Toshiba Power Saver already started

When I switch on with mains power connected, I get a false error message which says "Toshiba Power Saver already started".
How do I get rid of this message permanently?

Thanks for the response. I removed the Toshiba Power saver software through the Control Panel, no problems. I then downloaded the lastest software from the Toshiba website, a file named PA100-TPwr-Svr-7.00.03-XP.exe . At the completition of loading this program, I received an error message "A fatal error has occurred. The program will be terminated. Code 0x2." Subsequently, everytime I reboot the A100, I get this message. I tried uninstalling the new Toshiba Power saver program but am prevented from doing so by this error message. I also tried going back using thew System Restore but even going back two months, I get a message to say changes cannot be made (reversed). My computer is a model no PSAA8a-0D5010.
Any hints??

  • Re: Satellite L300-17l - Toshiba Power Saver gives me error after install

    When I bought my L300-17l all drivers from Toshiba drivers download pafe worked ok.
    Recently I reinstalled my XP OS and now I started installing again all the drivers. LAN was ok, WLAN was ok, Display driver was ok.
    But when I get to install Toshiba Power Saver ( URL: [http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/pwrsav-en-20080519172104.zip] ) it gives me this error ( it shows the error either after I click finish on the instalation or before installing has begun, as you can see on this screenshot ) - [http://www.picvalley.net/v.php?p=u/2381/9078672171740560287.JPG]
    I tried later this - i go ot control panel and open Toshiba Power Saver, but then it gives me another error - " CANNOT open because you do not have access rights to use "TOSHIBA Power Saver".
    I reinstalled again my XP and it still gives me this error....I wonder what the problem could be....PLS help me

    Hi
    Satellite L300-17L belongs to the PSLBCE series.
    I chosen this model number and found exactly the same power saver which you have tried to install.
    Therefore I assume you have chosen the right Power Saver Utility for this notebook model.
    But did you install also the Common Module?
    This software should be installed firstly before any other tools installation.
    Did you update the Win XP to the latest state?

  • Equium A100-027: Toshiba Power Saver Utility

    I have a Toshiba Equium A100-027 laptop and the fan goes on every couple of minutes after it has been on for 15 minutes and it is highly annoying.
    I was told I could change the Cooling Method so that fan goes on less or constant but I can't seem to run the Power Saver Utility.
    I uninstalled the Value Pack that came with the laptop and long with some other Toshiba programs but I installed it again from the website but I cannot find the Power Saver Utility. It is not in Control Panel. I see a folder with the files in on Program files but whenever I try and open it, it wont load anything.
    Why is this?
    Can I run the Power Saver Utility on the A100-027 or is it not compatible or something?
    I would have thought it should work on all Toshiba Laptops.
    I can do a recovery and try it but I don't know if it will work or not?
    If it works, whats the best option so the fan is either on much less or is on constantly at a lower speed?
    I am sending the laptop to Toshiba to look at because I hear an audio glitch/crackling/fuzzing when I play music and the fan goes on and off and I think this must be some kind of small glitch to be fixed but I don't know if they can fix it. If they don't fix it, can they replace it?

    There are no BIOS updates for my Laptop Model.
    I have done a system recovery using the recovery disk and the audio glitch/crackling/fuzz persists and the fan runs at the same rate.
    The laptop will be with Toshiba Engineers on Monday but I don't know if they will hear or notice the problem or if they do if they will fix it.
    I hope they can either fix it or replace the laptop for me.

  • I cannot Install Toshiba Power Saver on my Satellite M45-S169 - Code: Ox7E

    I cannot Install/reinstall/remove/run Toshiba power saver on my Satellite M45-S169. after I have reinstalled the system (now it is Windows XP Professional SP2). When I tried to open Power saver via control panel I got accessed denied and every time I reboot the system I get the error message:
    Toshiba Power Save
    A fatal error has occurred. This programme will be terminated.
    Code: Ox7E
    I cannot neither remove nor reinstall power saver. Can I try to run power saver for Windows XP SP2 applicable for other laptop models? I could not find the one for my model. Which one will fit? Any other solutions/advises to the problem?
    Please, help
    Thank you a lot, Oksana

    Hi
    First of all you have to known that this notebook was designed for the US market and all drivers, tools or any other Toshiba utilities should be used from the Toshiba US website.
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
    Please ensure that you have already installed Toshiba ACPI Common Modules before you will continue with any further Toshiba software installation.
    One important hint; the Toshiba power saver profile must be chosen in the Windows power options!!! Dont forget this!!!

  • Receiving error message when trying to install Toshiba Power Saver

    Recently toshiba power saver stopped working - I removed it and redownloaded it from this website, now whenever I try to run the install i get a "unable to machine id" message and the install stops.
    First time posting here so If i'm on the wrong forum or you need anything else apologies in advance.

    Hi there,
    where did youve downloaded the powersaver? Maybe you downloaded the wrong one for your machine. Its absolutely important to download EXACTLY that software which fits your machine type.
    When downloading stuff from toshiba websites you have to keep an eye on the version of your machine (e.g. Satellite A100-552 -> download the software for type "552" of the Satellite A100 series).
    This sometimes resolves many errors and clarify some not very nice situations.
    Please, more details on your problem. :)

  • Toshiba Power Saver fatal error 0x51A on Satellite M115-S3094

    Hello,
    By the subject, the problem is there. Unfortunately, my computer which is the Toshiba M115-S3094, just recently had a Fatal Error with the Toshiba Power Saver program like 3 days ago. The Toshiba Power Saver not only does not want to work, but it no longer even shows on the taskbar.First, I went to the Power Properties to restore the proram, but to no avail.
    Then, I tried uninstalling and subsequently re-installing the program and it still gave me the same problem with the Error: The program will be terminated. Fatal Error 0x51A. So right now, my laptop is not running on the Toshiba Power Scheme but on the common Windows scheme, like Presentation or Portable Laptop.
    So I need help to restore the Toshiba Power Saver. I run the Toshiba M115-S3094 with Windows Media Center Edition.

    Hi
    The Satellite M115 seems to be a Toshiba US notebook because of the 5 at the end of the number.
    In this case you should use the Toshiba power saver from the Toshiba US site. Did you???
    Maybe you have used the right Power saver utility, so possibly some registry or any system files keys are damage in such case the new OS installation from the Toshiba recovery CD would be advisable.

  • Satellite A660-11M on Windows 7 - Toshiba Power Saver does not work

    I have a Satellite A660-11M and I work on Windows 7 Ultimate
    The problem is that I have download all drivers and updates but the toshiba power saver does not work its installed with no error and TPSLaunch (green icon) does not open when I click on it and no icon I found in the control panel for the program afterIi install all the Value Added Package!

    Toshiba Power Saver is only for XP installations, you can't install the XP Drivers (and most Vista Drivers) in Windows 7.
    Make sure all your drivers are for the A660, and make sure they are for Windows 7.

  • Satellite Pro M70 - Can't install Toshiba Power Saver Driver

    Hi, I can't install toshiba power saver driver on my laptop because instalation crashes with error 1610: The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel. I tried more versions of power saver driver. I got latest official chipset driver..Know somebody how to fix that?
    My second problem is with battery, my laptop running on battery for max 10 minutes (i got my laptop 2 years) and i dint using battery supply often. Can battery loose so much capacity in 2 years even if i used to my battery once a week?
    Sorry for english and thx for reply

    I believe you must not install this driver, only Power saver utility only.
    What to say about battery? In my opinion it is possible. In my opinion the battery life time cannot be defined so easy.
    Some batteries run well after 3 years of usage and some of them are death after one year only.

  • Error meassage (Toshiba Power Saver)

    what is the proplem please?

    Hello
    It is really not easy to say why this message occur. In my opinion you should try to remove Toshiba power saver and install it again or if this message occur for a short time try to rollback the system to one previous time using System restore tool.

  • Toshiba Power saver may be the problem

    My Satellite A665-S6050 has had all of the symptoms you read about in these forums;
    crash, freeze, hung, locked, BSOD, Windows crash errors, etc.
      I bought the laptop new a couple years ago and both love it and hate it when it exhibits
    its freezing behavior. This is the intel I-3, 4 GB ram, Windows 7(64 bit) version. Really nice
    when it's running normally.
      I have watched and read through hundreds of posts throughout these forums since my purchase.
    I have never sent the laptop back to Toshiba. Primarily because I've been able to force power off
    then on, go to safe mode, schedule a disk scan on the next power up, reboots normally and I'm good
    for who knows how long.
      Following suggestions you can read in these forums, I have upgraded the Intel HD graphics display driver.
    I install Windows updates every time they come available(auto update is enabled). I've updated the
    Toshiba bios. I've updated Firefox every time it is available(my favorite browser). Updated java and
    flash(again automatic updates). Some user settings that I've changed; I've disabled sleep mode(set it
    to 'never' under 'advanced power settings) in every power scheme I have. I only use 'High Performance'
    power scheme(plan). I have the setting for turning off the hard drive set to 'never'. My rational for doing
    this is there is just too much going on under Windows 7, all the time. You never know what's running in the
    background. Many times as the laptop freezes and or Windows tries it's best to recover, I get a strong feeling
    that the hard drive has shut off! Especially, when Windows is trying to save a dump but can't because it can't
    access hd0(hard drive)(I have to force power cycle off/on to recover).
      This brings me to my current state of this troubleshooting saga. The last time the laptop froze, I was watching
    streaming video in one Firefox window and had a slide show playing in another Firefox window(2 windows, not
    2 tabs). Then in the lower right corner I get the Toshiba power saver notification that it is shutting down the
    optical drive. It goes away on it's own in about 10 seconds. But immediately everything gets real slow until every
    freezes. Windows tries to save a dump but can't. Windows tries to reboot itself but can't. Shows me a screen to
    modify the boot list because the hd0 is not available. So, as so many times before I have to hold the power
    button down for force power off. Wait a few, then power on, do my thing with safe mode, check disk, etc.
    Power up and boots normally. Runs great for who knows how long. Right now as I type this, I have a audio CD
    in my optical drive with Windows Media player set to 'replay' continuously. This I hope will prevent the 'Toshiba
    power saver' from getting triggered because the optical drive is not idle and therefore won't shut off the hard
    drive too! I have no idea how I can prove that 'Toshiba Power saver' is causing these freezes, crashes, lock ups,
    etc. But at least if I can keep the optical drive in use and therefore prevent the 'power saver' from kicking in
    maybe I can eliminate that as a possible cause of the freezes.
      I am really disappointed to read so many Toshiba owners sending their computers to Toshiba service
    hoping and praying for resolution but getting no satisfaction in the end. I love my Toshiba and I'll keep it.
    I am a recreational user. Don't need to save power. When I use my computer, I want it to function as
    powerful as possible until I intentionally perform a normal Windows shutdown.
      My employer supplies me with a laptop (different brand). It has Intel I-5 chip, 3 GB ram Win XP Pro..
    I run that computer full speed 9 -10 hours a day and I may have to reboot maybe once every other week.
    Not bad considering the abuse I put it through. I would hate to have to rely on this Toshiba for work. I
    don't think it could stay fully operational for that period of time.
      Please Toshiba, tell me how I can help with the troubleshooting of this seriously pervasive problem on
    so many of your computers. Is there an event log I can provide? Windows dump files(when they do get
    saved)?  Help me help you resolve this problem and satisfy hundreds of your customers.
    Thank you in advance for your time.
    Doug

    Jerry,
      It happened again this afternoon. This is the first time my system froze since the last time
    I reported here in the forum. And just like I reported earlier, Toshiba Power Saver turned off
    the optical drive power, I saw the pop-up in the lower right corner to notify me of the event.
    I had Toshiba 'PC Health Monitor' running and minimized. I clicked on the icon to restore it
    to the desktop. It displayed as expected. The hard drive graphic looked normal and spinning
    as usual. I clicked on the graphic of the spinning hard drive and expected 'Power Options' to
    display. Instead my desktop went away(all icons, system tray, system notification area, launch
    pad, etc), everything gone. The graphic of the spinning hard drive stopped spinning. I tried a
    CTL+ALT+DEL and got a new pop-up from Windows that it couldn't respond and I had 2 options;
    press ESC or hold the power button down to force power and a shutdown. Which is what I eventually
    did.
      Powered up, went to safe mode, scheduled disk check on the next restart. Disk check runs and
    finds no problem. System runs normally again.
      As far as finding these events in the Windows logs using 'Event viewer', is not going to help.
    I know exactly what time this all took place. I just can't find any event log showing that it took
    place. There's a small gap in the time stamps just before the event until a few minutes after the
    event. Then I see a mixture of 'errors' and 'information' events after the power on and restart
    but nothing specifically addressing the hard drive before the restart.
    I see an event log; "Previous shutdown was not expected". I'm sure that's not what your asking
    to see.  I don't know if it would be possible to trace the 'Toshiba Power Saver' but that may be
    the only way I could prove my point that it is shutting off power to both the optical drive and
    the hard drive at the same time.
    Is there a way to disable or remove Toshiba Power Saver without causing a more serious problem?
    Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.
    Doug.

  • P30: I need a 32 bit version of toshiba power saver installer

    Hello,
    I need a 32 bit version of toshiba power saver installer for the P30 please, I hope that it is possible :)
    Thank you in advance :)
    Sincerly, James.
    Message was edited by: jamespic

    thank you for your support :)
    i am actually talking about the toshiba power saver for P30 for windows xp, driver installer is 32bit.
    however, the sofware insatller setup.exe is 16bit, you can notice it by reading it's description with windows os.
    of course, if you disable 16 bit support, you can't install toshiba power saver anymore.

  • Tecra M5 - Toshiba Power Saver not doing its job properly

    Hi,
    After looking for some time for a tool to silence my Tecra M5 I found a seemingly nice app called Toshiba Power Saver. Unfortunately this tool doesn't seem to be working properly. I played with the [Cooling Method slider|http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8008/powersaver.jpg] (click to see an image) and here is how it works.
    The Cooling Method can be set to one of four options: Battery Optimized, Performance, Maximum Performance, and Cooling Optimized, where the first one is supposed to be the quietest, and the other ones more and more noisy.
    Let's assume that the cpu fan is initially spinning at a high speed and I'm not doing anything on my laptop. I move the slider to Battery Optimized setting, click on Apply and the fan (instantaneously) slows down (yay!). Then I need to do something power hungry for a moment and eventually the fan spins up to the noisy level. I then do nothing at all again but the fan stays like that *forever*. The cpu is as cold as ice, the air being blown out could freeze your fingers, but the fan is spinning like crazy waking up my neighbours across the road.
    Am I really sure the cpu is cool? Yes. Why?
    Because when I move the slider to Performance setting now and click Apply the fan slows down (right away) and stays like that until I start working on something again. Then I stop doing what I was doing and the fan keeps spinning *forever* again.
    So then I change the Cooling Method to Battery Optimized setting back again, click on Apply and the fan slows down.... and so on and so on, stuck in the vicious circle.
    The key to the success here is keeping pressing the Apply button, which the Power Saver application should be doing from time to time and not me, and not forgetting what it's here for.
    What's wrong with that app? Is there any fix available (or an alternative)?
    The version I have is 7.11 and runs under XP Pro SP3.

    Hi Feliks,
    Thank you for your reply. I have a Tecra M5 notebook not a Portege, though.
    Unfortunately I cannot agree with most of what you have said. Either there is something wrong or this software is just useless. It is quite unlikely that there is something wrong as I had exactly the same laptop before and it was as noisy. That to me would be too much of a coincidence.
    Before then I had a dual core notebook with Philips sticker on it (and that was all Philips's input) in even smaller enclosure (12") and no fancy software in it. In that laptop the fan was running once every several minutes while idle and as soon as it cooled down the cpu it stopped - a complete silence. And this is how it should be. I've just read a review of one HP laptop: "During normal use I almost never hear the hard drive or the fan. In fact the fan really only comes on when playing games." I'd like mine to be like that too.
    Here I play music in Winamp at the processor speed set to 1 (out of 6, lower means slower) and cooling set to a quiet setting (after help: "The system is cooled by slowing CPU speed, and the fan is started only when neccesary."), and after the fan starts it then never (I don't exaggerate here) stops spinning and eventually keeps blowing out cool air. The CPU usage varies between 0 and 5%. I mean, that's not normal to me. My phone can do the same job and it doesn't have a fan at all. Not to mention that Intel CPUs will not let themselve get fried. So why?
    I sold the mentioned Philips laptop to move on to some decent brand and I am *very* disappointed. It's a shame, as this particualar model would be perfect for me, I like everything about it, but the noise is just unbearable, it's embarassing to take this machine to a library. And the software... well, I will stop here and wait for some other Tecra M5 users to share their experience.
    In the meantime I'll try with Toshiba support, as you advised.
    Thanks!

  • Satellite Pro L20: Need Power Saver Utility

    Please can you let me know where I can download the Power Saver utility for a Satellite Pro L20?
    I have tried to install a copy of the software but am not sure if it is for an L20 as it crashes
    at the end of the install, and when I try to open Toshiba Power Saver in the control panel it says
    it is not running, but there is no option for in the Power Schemes list.
    Many Thanks
    Martin Dawkins

    Does the L20 only use the standard Windows XP 'Power Options' for power management then?
    I wonder why they did not install their own power management software as well as that
    normally has more options for extending battery life.

  • Is there a Toshiba Power Saver for Vista?

    I can't find version of POWER SAVER for vista. Is it only for XP?

    Toshiba Power saver tool like under WXP does not exist anymore. Most power functions are controlled by Vista now. Toshiba has designed Power Saver tool again but it is not so extensive version as old one.
    The settings that belongs to Toshiba power Saver you can find under Start Control Panel System & Maintenance Power Options - Select a Power Plan Change plan settings Change advanced power settings Toshiba Power Saver Settings V.xxx
