Where can i find display driver for satellite A200 PCAECE Windows XP 32-bit? Help!!!!

hi there,
Most of the A200 series makes use of this video card chipset.

Satellite A200-21t CD/DVD drive replacement with an Blu-ray reader

Hi,
I have a Satellite A200-21t notebook that came with the mat****a UJ-850 drive.
My original drive isn't working anymore...
I'm planning to buy a new one, but i would like one that has a buit in Blu-ray dvd reader.
I heard that not all players work with Toshiba's laptops, so i would like some help to find a bluray drive that would work with my notebook.
Two drives caught my attention:
the Panasonic UJ-120 and the Sony BC 5500A.
Do these drivers work with Toshibas?
Does anyone has another suggestion?
Thanks very much for the help!

Hi
> Do these drivers work with Toshibas?
I think you will have to test it yourself.
As far as I know Toshiba didnt mention anything about compatible Blueray drives for Satellite A200.
The point is that not all drives are compatible due to different master/slave/c-sel settings.
Using not compatible ODD you will get an IDE #1 error message and the drive will not be recognized by BIOS.
But I read here in the forum that some guys managed to upgrade the own Toshiba units with a blue ray drive
Therefore Im thinking that youve got a good chance to upgrade it.

Satellite Pro A200 - Shows only 3GB instead 4GB RAM

Hi,
2 years ago I got a Satellite Pro A200 as a business notebook and it runs with XP SP2, later with SP3. With 2 GB it shows 2 GB of memory in Windows - and I know it has a Radeon 7500 with 256MB of individual graphic memory, and it has no shared memory.
I upgraded it to 4 GB, but Windows shows exactly 3 GB. BIOS shows 4 GB and the ATI system monitor shows 4 GB. I know that 4 GB is not possible in XP 32 bit, only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista - but on desktop systems I have seen values between 3.3 and 3.7 GB.
So where is the memory? It looks like a bug - the memory chips have both 2 GB I have verified this. Because it is a company notebook I can't just upgrade to XP 64 bit :-(
In the BIOS are no options - first I thought it's the graphic card, but mine has independant graphics with own memory so the computer comes up with 2048 MB or 4096 after the upgrade.
Shared memory would show about 1900 MB of RAM to the OS like my private EEEpc.

> I upgraded it to 4 GB, but Windows shows exactly 3 GB. BIOS shows 4 GB and the ATI system monitor shows 4 GB. I know that 4 GB is not possible in XP 32 bit, only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista - but on desktop systems I have seen values between 3.3 and 3.7 GB.
First of all 32bit OS (no matter if its XP, Win 2003 R2, Vista or Win 7) will not recognize 4GB RAM but only 3.2GB (and not 3.7GB)
I have no idea where you looked for available RAM but you should run DXDIAG in RUN.
Then you should get some details and also the available RAM.
Secondly the graphic card supports Local cache (256MB) and HyperMemory.
HyperMemory of the graphic card depends on the available main RAM memory.
For example the unit supports 1024MB RAM (1GB) then the hyper memory would be 256MB this part of RAM would be shared with graphic card!
This is the reason why the only 3GB are shown...

Satellite A200-TH7 - Windows Explorer is not responding

On random occasions (normally when I wake up the PC), and I click the volume control in the taskbar, nothing will pop up.
Then I'll go to move the physical volume control slider and nothing will happen.
However, at that point, I'll try to click anywhere on the taskbar, but it freezes and it says "Windows Explorer is not responding" and I have to restart the program. Once doing this, the volume control does not even appear on the taskbar. And if I slide the physical volume slider, Explorer freezes once more.
I have Vista and its an Satellite A200-TH7.
I have the volume on mute so I literally can't listen to anything now.
If I restart the comp it'll work, but this problem occurs frequently.

Hi
Thats strange and I never heard about such an issue.
Does the Explorer freezes in other ways too?
Anyway, you should make sure that you have installed all Windows Updates and Service Packs.
Furthermore update the AntiVirus software and search for Viruses.
And follow the instructions posted by Jimi.
Thats all I can say at the moment.

Qosmio X300-14N - Vista 64bit recognize only 1789MB of RAM

Hello,
I need some help with my Qosmio x300-14N.
I'm using a vista 64 bit system and the OS only see 1789MB of ram.
I have 2x2gb memory module.
Please give me a solution!

Hi
How did you check this in Vista?
How much RAM is recognized in BIOS?
The notebook was equipped with 2 x 2GB RAM and therefore the hardware should be 4GB RAM capable.
The software (Vista 64bit) should recognize the full memory since 64bit OS has no 32bit limitation which would recognize only 3.2GB
In my opinion there could be something wrong with one of the RAM module this would explain why only one memory module has been recognized.

Audigy 2 ZS with Windows 7 64-Bit and more than 4GB of RAM

Hello,
I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit and I have installed 8GB RAM. I installed the latest Beta driver and I'm not able to use my microphone. It doesn't recognize any input at all. As soon as I remove 4GB RAM so only 4 GB RAM remain everything works as expected. The microphone problem is only there when you have more than 4GB RAM installed. Is there any driver or workaround to make the microphone work again?
I don't want to
use another version of Windows 7<
reduce my RAM<
use onboard sound<
I hope you can help me or at least tell me if (and when) Creative wants to fix this.
Thank you. Kind regards
T3rm

No solution from me, but I just wanted to chime in because I have the same problem and I'd like to explain it in detail. I've actually had this problem with Vista 64-bit (6GB of RAM) for the past 2 years. It's a very flaky/random problem, where about 40% of the time the microphone worked fine, 20% where I would get minor crackling (turns my voice into a robot voice), 20% with MAJOR crackling, and 20% where the microphone didn't work at all. When it would either crackle or stop working, I would usually restart the computer. After the computer booted up again, it would work fine 95% of the time (I very rarely had to reboot it twice in a row). However, it would randomly change states (between the four listed above) throughout the duration of the computer staying on. And, it would usually progress in the direction of "being more and more broken". For example:
.) Wake up, turn on my computer. Everything works fine.
2.) Go to class, come back. Now the microphone crackles.
3.) Do some homework, eat dinner. Now the microphone doesn't work at all.
I was excited when the SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_00.exe update came out in July so I can finally get a consistent working microphone in a 64-bit version of Windows. Then everything came together last week, when I got a copy of Windows 7 64-bit Professional from my school. I tried the drivers and....FAIL. Pretty much the same thing, but different percentages/tendencies than listed above for Vista.
I just found this on another thread which highlights some useful information:
Microphone issues on Windows 7/Vista 64-bit (x64) with 4GB?of RAM or more
Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, resulting in random issues with the Microphone (static, robotic or distorted voice, white noise).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows
- limit the RAM available to Windows to less than 4GB
- enable Memore Hole in BIOS Setup, if?your motherboard supports the setting
Haha, why even release a 64-bit "compatible" driver when it doesn't even work right in 64-bit operating systems? Should I not expect a proper driver and buy an Asus Xonar instead?

Satellite A200 and Windows 7 64bit - How someone test it?

Has anyone test and works with it.
I have *A200 23W* with 4 gb memory, vista sp2 installed and i want to have a clear install on *windows 7 but 64bit version*.
What do you think about?

Loaded windows 7 on an A200 psace with 2gb of memory, most things are OK. video drivers initially was generic vga but after windows update the correct geoforce go driver was loaded. The flash media was not working as windows couldn't find a driver, downloaded vista driver from toshiba website which corrected problem. I have the professional version of windows 7 so I tried the xp compatibilty mode, this doesn't work, it says that the virtualization option in bios isn't enabled even though it is enabled in bios. It's ealy days yet but everything is looking fairly good, I had the beta version running for 2 or 3 months without too many problems

Satellite A200-23W: Windows Vista installation issue

Hi..
I now that this subject is discussed many times before, but after trying a lot of the solutions of the forum and some of my one, I have reached a level that it makes no sense...
First off all I would like to explain that what i do for a living it has to do with IT and that is what it makes it even more tempting to me.
2 days ago a bought a A200-23W Toshiba. The first thing i always do when i buy a new laptop is to format it and install a clean Windows OS.
I realized after my first attempt that I have to install first of all the Matrix Storage Driver.
I have downloaded the driver from toshiba site related to my model. (Intel Matrix Storage Manager-7.5.0.1017).
I have created a usb with the required files for the driver :
iaAhci.inf,
iaAhci.cat,
iaStor.inf, iaStor.cat,
iaStor.sys, and
TxtSetup.oem
from the (F6flpy) folder of the (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) copying them to the root of the USB.
When the "Where you want to Install windows" form at windows vista appear i select load driver, and then by Clicking (Browse), I select the USB as a source for my drivers.
The (Intel(R) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller) automatically appears as a selection and by clicking (Next) the process of driver installation starts.
So far so good..
Now is where the things are getting complicated..
When Vista return to the "Where you want to Install windows" form, even that my system has 2 x 200 GG HDD only one 200 GB HDD appears in the list..
Selections of "New" Partition or "Delete" Partition are disabled.
and even when i click "Next" to the selected HD a windows message appears :
"Windows could not determine if this computer contains a valid system volume"
I would appreciate your help..
Thank you in advance..
George P.

it seems i can't find any installation details about the Robson Package inside the zip file or the European site..
All the readme inside have the same content..
"...This installer does not contain a valid readme
file. Please obtain the valid readme file(s) from the
software site this installer was downloaded from."
And at the europian site the downloaded page :
".....For details please check the included help file"

Ae cs4 limited to recognize only 3gb of ram?

i have ae cs4 instaled on a 32bits win vista with 8gb ram... but my ae only show recognizing 3gb of it. any one know this?

Elaine, your answer includes some items that are factually incorrect or misleading.
> After Effects is limited to a theoretical maximum of 3GB of RAM per core.
No. The theoretical maximum is 4GB per core.
"The operating system imposes certain limits on the amount of memory that an application can use. After Effects on the Mac OS X operating system can use up to 3.5 GB of RAM, although only about 3 GB is actually available to the foreground application, because Mac OS X uses approximately 500 MB to load the user interface libraries. After Effects on 32-bit Windows operating systems can use up to 3 GB of RAM; however, to use more than 2 GB in After Effects, you must configure Windows XP or Windows Vista appropriately.... After Effects on 64-bit Windows operating systems can use up to 4 GB of RAM with no special configuration."
(See "Memory usage and storage".)
Your use of the term "RAM cache" is also misleading. Whether you have Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously on or not, the foreground process stores frames for RAM preview in a RAM cache. There is not a separate "RAM cache" for each of the background processes.
Also, you tell this person to change their RAM cache setting to a certain percentage. The original poster is using After Effects CS4. Only After Effects CS3 and earlier have the RAM cache exposed s a percentage.
> If you have a machine with multiple processing cores and a 64-bit OS
you can enable Multiprocessing in After Effects's preferences.
The Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously feature is not dependent on a 64-bit operating system. Yes, it works much better on a 64-bit operating system, but you can see performace gains with only two processors on a 32-bit operating system.

Satellite L500-21T & Windows 8 64-bit

I changed my operating system to windows 8 64bit , all hardware defined by windows except chipset & blutooth (I defined them once from Windows 7 another time from latest model like L830). but the function key not working (for wirekess/blutooth on/off ).
Is there any drivers for L500-21T for windows 8 64bit or from specific new compatible models drivers?

> Is there any drivers for L500-21T for windows 8 64bit...
On http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/checkWindows8Compatible.do?service=EU you can check if your notebook is supported for Win8 OS.
One more thing: your notebook has Intel HM55 Express Chipset. Interesting is that Tecra A11 with part number PTSE0E has the same chipset and it is supported for Win8 so you can try to use chipset driver offered for this Tecra notebook.

Display driver GeForce Go 7300 for Satellite A200 with Windows XP

I'm looking for drivers to GeFroce Go 7300 in A200 Toshiba notebook with Windows XP
Does enybody know where I can find it. Toshiba doesn't give it on it's web pages.
HELP :-)

Hi there,
you should checkout these both sites for drivers since the drivers were modified to run on mobile systems too:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
http://www.omegadrivers.net/
Otherwise I don´t know a accurate source for video drivers which are up-to-date.
Cheers

Satellite A200 and Windows 7 -It works!

I did an Upgrade from Windows Vista 32 Bit to Windows 7 on my Notebook Satellitte A200 PSAE6E.
No Errors and no problem with drivers. It works perfect.

Hi Mike
Thank you for this report.
Can you use all Toshiba specific tools and utilities too or you have removed some of them before you started the upgrade?

Re: Satellite A200-209 - Windows 7 can't see DVD Drive

Hey
Ive reinstalled my PC (again) from Windows 7 to Windows 7 and some time after i got this problem.
My DVD Drive is "unseenable" by Windows and it cannot read any disks.
I think its something about drivers, but i cant find any DVD driver :P
THX.

Hi
Your message is a little bit confusing.
You mean the CD/DVD drive is not visible in MY Computer?
In such case Ive got a solution for you.
In most cases its upper & lower filter issue.
You would be able to solve this by deleting the drive from the device manager and to remove the upper and lower filters from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
