Satellite A200-1GH: Which joystick or gamepad to choose to play games

If intended to play : Need For Speed, Call of Duty, The Simpsons Hit & Run, MS Freelancer and MS Age of empire?
Which model do you use/ advise to purchase? What are pros and contras?

Hello
Your question is very clearly but I think you should ask this question on some gaming forum. I am pretty sure there you can ger more info about joysticks as here on Toshiba forum.
If you have problems with your Toshiba notebook you are welcome but to discuss about joysticks here is for me not the right place.
Joystick on Toshiba or any other notebook/PC should work at the same way. You do not think so?

  • Is it possible to upgrade or exchange graphic card on Satellite A200?

    Some one please tell me if its possible to install anther graphics card in my laptop.I have a Satellite *A200-1Z3* which has an on board display adapter (MOBILE INTEL (R)965 Express Chipset Family).

    Unfortunately something like this is not possible. The graphic card is part of mainboard. If the graphic card is defective the whole mainboard must be exchanged.
    Sorry buddy but there is nothing to do.

  • Can a Second Hard drive be add to a Satellite A200-298

    Hi
    I have a Satellite A200-298 which came with a 200gb hard drive I was wondering if it was possible for a second larger hard drive to be added to help with file storage Ie Itunes and movies.
    Message was edited by: Irishdiver

    Hi mate,
    unfortunately there cannot be a second harddrive added because if your machine was only equipped with one single drive then the other harddrive bay would not have a harddrive connector installed.
    I would buy an external harddrive and store my stuff there I were you..

  • Webcam on Satellite A200 doesn't work with Windows Media Encoder

    Hardware: TOSHIBA Satellite A200 (1GH) with integrated Chicony webcam.
    PROBLEM:
    When i using webcam by Chicony software - it's working allright (video recorded normaly).
    BUT: when i closing Chicony software, and starting Windows Media Encoder (preinstalled with Vista) - when i try to select webcam as input device - error is reported "device is not ready".
    This error also repeated if I select for webcam Microsoft webcam driver instead of Chicony native driver.

    Hi
    Download the newest Chicony driver and software from the Toshiba page and install it.
    Dont forget to remove the old version.
    Furthermore if you get the error message like webcam is use by another application or "device is not ready you should start the msconfig and should disable and enable the chicony webcam service and process.

  • BIOS update problem with Satellite A200

    I installed recently the Toshiba Alerts Software - through it I received an alert to install a software for improving my Satellite A200 1GH.
    After installing this software I probably updated the BIOS and now I could not start the computer because it is asking for a password already from the bios.
    I did not managed any password before.
    Please help me solve the problem!!!! Is there a possibility of loosing information with this situation???

    Hi there,
    no you cannot loose any information, but in your case I would check for a NEWER BIOS version for your system because there are some threads were other users had the same problem.
    A user posted that a NEWER version was released and the problem was fixed, but you must check for it here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Otherwise it would be necessary to bring the machine to an authorized service partner. If you need a link to find the nearest one in your country:

  • Which HDD-brand is usually build into a Satellite A200-29L originally?

    Hello there, im new here.
    I got a question for you, maybe someone here can help me with this.
    I got an old, used Toshiba Satellite A200 29L here and i ask myself which harddrive i supposed to be in this when bought originally.
    The notebook is atleast 5 years old, probably even older.
    At the moment there is a Fujitsu harddrive with 250 GB in it, but i wanted to know if this is the laptops original harddrive with which it was sold back then in store.
    The reason i ask myself this question is that this notebook has been with me for a while and i can't remember if i ever changed the harddrive of it or not. This problem gets more aggravated as i just found a 500 GB harddrive of the company Toshiba here and i can not remember of which notebook i would have removed that.
    I found this (might be in german):
    http://www.toshiba.de/discontinued-p...lite-a200-29l/
    Here it is written that this notbook comes with a 250GB harddrive (although the manufacturer of it is not mentioned).
    On the other hand:
    http://www.amazon.de/TOSHIBA-Satelli.../dp/B00518EOKI
    Based on this link it seems that there are official 500 GB harddrives for this notebook as well.
    I know this might be a strange question, but i am pretty sure that some of you got an answer for me here
    Thank you in advance and best regards.

    Maybe it sounds stupid now but it is not possible to find such information. All we can find is the HDD capacity. In the notebook specification is not mention which brand is the HDD.
    Maybe someone with identical notebook model can help you.
    Anyway, you can exchange or upgrade HDD anytime you want. All you need is SATA HDD (SATA connector).
    Satellite A200 is pretty old notebook model but what you can do is to upgrade it with SSD and install Win7 32bit. Believe me you will be surprised how fast this old piece of hardware can be.

  • Which Wireless Router works well with Satellite A200-401

    Just about to buy a Satellite A200-401 notebook can anyone suggest a good affordable wireless router that works well with this?
    steve

    Hm, thats a strange question because I doesnt depends on the machine, more on the installed wireless card. But usually a Netgear router is always a good choice...they are reliable, dont need much power and you can extend your network range with these special Nergear "Range externders".
    I have a Netgear WGR614 and it works like a charm, it has everything you need.

  • Satellite A200 - need help with USB boot

    Hi to all,
    I have a startup problem with my Satellite A200.
    I am booting from my USB key. It is bootable Linux to install the tutorial is this:
    Insert the USB key or drive you want to boot from.
    Restart the computer.
    During startup, when prompted, press the appropriate button to display the "Boot Options". Usually it is F2, F8 or F12 (be displayed on the splash screen).
    In the boot menu, select the drive to boot from.
    The computer will now boot from the USB key or the first disc to change the boot priority back to boot from the hard drive. Perform the procedure again, but to choose the hard drive in step 4 the computer will now boot from the first hard disk.
    My problem just part shift to the right that when it restarts with the USB key plugged remain frozen and Toshiba screen is displayed but it does not load anything.
    F2 I want to access the BIOS it makes me please wait but nothing happen. I'm nothing like 1hr wait for F12 boot selections except that all boot are marked exceptions to the FDD one on which I want to boot.
    So I find myself facing an impasse because for Toshiba loads must be connected to nothing which is silly because I want to boot on my key.
    If someone has a solution...

  • Re: Satellite A200 unable to connect phone - No Bluetooth

    Some years back I bought a Satellite A200 (PSAF6A-OWOOIN) running Vista, which my daughter has since upgraded to windows 7.
    Previously the notebook had Bluetooth connectivity to my mobile phone (not that I ever used it),
    however (now that I do need it) I can no longer connect, or even find any bluetooth software.
    I have searched for a suitable download, but the only one I could find, would not run/start due to an incompatibility ????
    I real need to be able to connect my phone to my computer, as we have video that we wish to forward to the police on disk.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    First of all it would be really interesting to know if BT is enabled on this notebook.
    Can you see a small BT icon in the taskbar?
    What happens if you would use the key combination FN + F8?
    This key combination toggles between the Wlan and BT and enables/disables the connectivity.
    In case you cannot enable the BT or the icon does not appear in the taskbar, visit this Toshiba BT portal https://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/ and download and install the latest Toshiba BT stack for the Win 7

  • Some Microsoft Windows Update cannot be insatlled - Satellite A200-W00

    Hi,
    I Have been having a problem with updates on my Toshiba Satellite A200-W00 Machine. I have two particular updates that continuously fail.
    I have been in contact with a Microsoft personnel who has been sending me step by step trouble shooting to try but I've had no luck. These updates are:
    *Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista (KB956390)*
    *Cumulative Update for Media Center for Windows Vista (KB955519)*
    *Security Update for Windows Vista (KB953155)*
    This was one of his emails
    From the problem description, I understand that several updates failed to be installed, and you have tried some troubleshooting suggestions, but the issue still persists. If there has been any misunderstanding, please let me know.
    Given this situation, the issue may occur if the related system files are corrupted. In order to continue troubleshooting it, please first temporarily uninstall the security programs, and test the update again. If still failed, please take your time and try the following steps to repair the system.
    In-place upgrade
    ==========
    Though this operation will not remove or modify the installed programs and files, I still suggest that we backup the important files before doing this. In addition, we may have to reinstall the device drivers after this operation. Thank you for your understanding.
    1. Start the computer and access Windows Vista.
    2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD in the computer's DVD drive.
    3. Use one of the following procedures, as appropriate:
    If Windows automatically detects the DVD, the Install now screen appears. Click Install now.
    If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:
    a. Click Start, click Run, type Drive:\setup.exe, and then click OK.
    Note: Drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD drive.
    b. Click Install now.
    4. When you reach the Which type of installation to you want screen, click Upgrade to upgrade the system files of Windows Vista.
    After it completes, please try to update again.
    Please try the above steps and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If there are any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.
    I look forward to your reply.
    Best Regards,
    Bill
    However Vista was preinstalled on my laptop and obviously I don't have the disc. Anyone know where I can get hold of it or have the same problem with similar updates. I've tried disabling my antivirus, firewalls, antispyware disk checks, clean ups etc and nothing.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    In my opinion updates issue have nothing to do with notebook manufacturer and I also think that Microsoft is the right address where you must ask for help.
    About missing recovery DVD there are no many options for you. If you don't have it you can order new copy for you. The right address is https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    Bye and good luck!

    Hello Russell
    Few days ago I have similar problem on my Satellite P200. After installing one third party application I have had BSOD every time when this application load. I have tried anything possible. To start in safe mode and change startup options, to rollback OS to earlier time using system restore tool. I have also tried to remove preinstalled application in safe mode but nothing has helped.
    At the end I have installed OS again using recovery DVD.
    So, in my case I was sure why this happen. What is with you? Does this happen if you use some certain applications? Which player and Virus scanner do you use?
    Does the same happen when you try to use Microsoft disc defragmenter?

  • Satellite A200 and iTunes 2131 error

    Hello, new to the forums here.
    I did a search and couldn't find anything current on the 2131 error I'm getting from Itunes with regards to burning CD-Rs. I understand the Dell computers using the same optical drive have a patch, just wondering if one is available for my Satellite A200-03V?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, I am wondering if someone can help me with the problem above but with a twist in that the laptop I have is a PCNextDay with a TSSTcorp CDDVDW SN-S082H inside.
    I am getting the same 2131 error in itunes as the first poster and wonder if there is a firmware update available for the S-082H - i saw somewhere else there was an update for the L632H and hoping for similar. The link in the reply above mine allows you to enter in your laptop details for a Toshiba machine but I cannot find any actual details on the device itself.
    Sorry if I am missing something but I would greatly appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction as currently the only option I have is to use expensive CRRW (particularly expensive in Norway!) rather than CDRs for burning music cds which then dont play in my car anyhow.
    In my searches for something on this I have also seen that Samsung have a CDDVD writer with the same product code (at least the SN-S082H) so wonder if this is a shared development (probably) and if that means I can use their firmware (maybe risky?).
    Grateful for any help. Thanks!

  • Drivers error recovering Windows Vista on Satellite A200

    Hello,
    I replaced the HD of my Toshiba Satellite A200. I replicate the original disk partitioning in the new disk and installed the original SO (Windows Vista) from the recovery disk.
    Everything went well. However, when I started Windows for first time, it was unable to end the autoconfiguration phase. An error message appeared on the screen: it had been unable to find all the drivers that it needs.
    After accepting the error message, windows rebooted the system without giving me any chance.
    Can anyone tell me what went wrong with the Windows recovery process?
    How can I add the drivers needed or skip the autoconfiguration process to do it later?

    > {quote:title=JoeLouis wrote:}{quote}
    > >Does anyone know if there is any chance to interrupt Toshiba recovery process or windows autoconfiguration process to load a specific driver?
    >
    > No, if you want to add the driver while windows installation and setup process, you have to use an Microsoft Windows disk Toshiba recovery disk contains an image which is NOT the same like a common installation disk!
    That's completely right. However, after copying the image to the HDD, the system reboots and loads Vista for first time. Then, the system starts a non-interactive autoconfiguration process (it shows a label similar to "Please, wait...").
    Eventually, it shows an error message and shuts down.
    This leads me to think that the image copy process went well (the system loads without trouble) but then Windows loads a wrong driver to manage the HDD and crashes.
    I would like to know if I can change any option in a configuration file (after copying the image in the HDD and before loading the OS for first time) to make this process interactive or to load a different set of drivers to manage the HDD. Does anyone have a clue?
