Satellite A200 - Touchpad vertical scrolling not present

I have just installed Windows 7 in my Toshiba A200 and downloaded drivers for the touch pad from Toshiba's site.
However, the option related to enabling vertical scrolling is not present in the settings.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thank you.

Hi,
I have a similar problem.
I just installed win 7 on my A200 Sat Pro.
Now the touchpad icon appears in the Sys tray, but when I try to access the Synaptics buttons - tapping etc,
all that is displayed in thee revelant page is button functions.
In other words I cannot disable the tapping function - nor access the scrolling functions etc.
Also, in device management - the TP shows up as a pointing device on ps/2 port 2 or something.
I originally got this A200 model as an XP model - with alot of bells and whistles from Toshiba - fancy wireless detectors etc.
All that software and the drivers comes on a factory reset DVD that re-installs xp.
However - the factory DVD is unexplorable (its propriety compressed) for specific drivers ie the original touchpad driver which I am presuming is the mysterious Alps driver.
I have downloaded and tried all of synaptics drivers.
I have downloaded and tried all of the touchpad drivers referenced in the model specific search engine on this site for the A200 model - which incidentally doesnt turn up the mysterious Alps driver.
After reading this thread - I have scoured on the manual search through pages of ALPs drivers for a reliable reference to the A200 model>
Oh, and I almost forgot, I downloaded and installed and ran the Toshiba Win 7 driver update software.This was the first thing I did.
@MasterG
I'm now wondering if an Alps driver referenced to the L500 series - as you mention, might solve the problem.
So - I'm going to look for that now and try it.
Regards
Austosh.

Firefox 8.0 disables touchpad vertical scrolling

When vertical scrolling in Firefox, the scrolling icon appears on screen but no scrolling occurs. Scrolling works fine in IE, Word, etc. This has been happening intermittently for several months but now seems to be permanent. Oddly, scrolling works for about 30 seconds in Firefox after booting up the computer, but then stops working in Firefox while continuing to work in all other browsers/programs.
Update:
This answer does not work:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/892941#answer-270356
This person tried the same solution and it did not work for them either:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/892636#answer-270016
This person says they rolled back their touchpad driver and that worked:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/889913#answer-267877
But my driver hasn't changed in years and works everywhere else, so that does not seem to be the source of my problem.
11/13: Ok, thanks Firefox techs for trying so hard to address this problem. Just kidding. I'm switching to Opera.

The slow / hesitant scrolling problem seems to be an artifact of the database Firefox uses to keep track of where you go, what you do, etc. It uses sqlite databases which get fragmented over time.
There are several fixes:
Some are add-ons and work internally, such as Vacuum Places (search the addons for it).
Some are external. Speedyfox is one I just tried, and found to work quite well. I think it did a better job than Vacuum Places, but requires Firefox to be shut down before it can work properly.
Find Speedyfox using a web search.

Solved!

Hello Lord442,
please refer to this and this thread.
I think adding MSN Messenger is the same procedure.
By the way horizontal scrolling in Firefox needs this.

Satellite A200 - Headphones and microphone not working (Win XP)

I have fully operational Windows XP with everything working just fine. However, today I tried to connect a microphone to the notebook, the software noticed it, muted the internal speakers, but there is no sound in the headphones whatever I do. I tried if the microphone jack is all right only to find out that I have the same problem - the realtek software notices me, that I plugged in a microphone, but doesnt record any sound.
I would be more than grateful for any help.

Are you sure that you have checked all necessary sound settings?
Im not Satellite A200 owner but Ive got a similar Satellite A series and I have installed both OS (Vista & XP) on my HDD.
From my knowledge you have to check different microphone settings in the sound & audio options.
In Control Panel you will find the Sound & audio devices. Choose it!
Then choose the tab called Audio.
There you could find the area Sound recording which provides information about possible devices for sound recording.
First of all you should check if the Volume settings are set to a higher level.
Secondly check if a right device was chosen (in my case its a Realtek HD audio input).
In the other tab Voice (near audio tab) you can test the voice recording too. This could be very helpful to check if the mic functions correctly
Please do this!

Satellite A200/W00 - Fingerprint Scanner not being recognised by software

Hi.
I'm running a Satellite A200/W00 Toshiba laptop (PSAF6A-0W00IN), and I just recently installed my brand new Windows 7 Professional that I just bought.
I found the Windows 7 Drivers for my laptop on the website and installed the Protector Suite QL 5.8.0.4024, and it installed just fine.
Once I restart my computer after installing, on the login screen where the fingerprint scanner button is to log in it says 'Cannot read scanning device', or something along those lines.
When I log in there is another pop-up with the program on the task bar stating the same thing, that my fingerprint scanning device needs to be plugged in. It's built into the laptop, it shouldn't need 'plugging in'.
I tried uninstalling the drivers for my Biometric device, and then on scanning for hardware changes it immediately detected my Fingerprint scanner again and reinstalled the drivers from it.
So, my Fingerprint scanner is clearly working, but Protector Suite QL isn't detecting it. I don't understand why.
Anyone discovered this problem or know how to fix it? I can't exactly check the state of my scanner as it is built into my laptop.

I'm not sure what the TrueSuite Access Manager you mentioned is. If that is the program that you use for managing your fingerprints/logging in with fingerprint reader, then that is a different program than what I had come with my laptop.
The program that came with my laptop for managing fingerprints and the reader is UPEK Protector Suite QL, and it used to work perfectly fine on Win7 RC and Vista Home Premium.
I can't register my fingerprints at all as the program that is supposed to do it isn't finding my fingerprint reader. Logging in with the fingerprint reader is an option at the moment at the login screen, but as mentioned it says that it cannot find the reader.
I have 'Fingerprint Login' selected in the settings with 'Allow to bypass logon using Windows password' and 'Allow user selfenroll in login', and other settings are set to 'Convenient' mode.
I've taken a screenshot of the exact popup that comes up whenever I try to access the Fingerprint reader to register/check storage, and have uploaded it. Here is a link: [http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/4880/fingerprinterror.jpg]

Satellite A200 - FN keys are not working

I have Satellite A200-1N2.
I setup fresh Vista ultimate 32bit because the last owner lost the device driver and all related disc to this laptop
So, i download all utility and driver from Toshiba site and install them i install and cofigure the toshiba Assist but i can't use volume key with Fn key and other too.
Please advice me
Thanks before

Hello Mona
It is not easy to say what is wrong there but to have well working OS with all Toshiba tools and utilities it is important to install all stuff following the right installations order. Please visit Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads and choose your notebook model PSAE3E and check Installations Instructions document.
Just install all listed stuff (available on download page) following exact installations order.
After doing this everything should work well.
Just one question: what do you mean with volume key with Fn? Do you mean MUTE option with FN+ESC?

TouchPad Vertical-Scroll Painting Issues

I have yet to reproduce the problem myself but I am getting
reports of a painting issue on some laptops. Apparently, using the
touch pad vertical scroll option on some (not mine unfortunately)
laptops causes the contents of the flash player to paint outside of
the player boundaries. The code is written in AS3 and is targeted
for the Flash 9 player.
The code implements a very basic FLVPlayback (skin on top)
that sits behind a button and a static image in layers on the stage
until the button is clicked. When clicked, the static image and
button have their visible property set to false and the video is
played. The painting problem happens when the static image is
displayed and when the video is playing.
Since I’m having no luck finding complaints of this
problem after much searching, I can only assume that I have done
something wrong in my implementation and being new to Flash it is
the most likely scenario. Any suggestions on what I could be doing
wrong?

I got better response on my w520 by installing "Two finger Scroll" from here:
https://code.google.com/p/two-finger-scroll/
A LifeHacker post that turned up about the software:
http://lifehacker.com/5493849/get-mac+like-scrolling-and-gestures-on-a-windows-laptop
...and it's helpful on my machine. For example, I often increase the size of font display in web text-heavy articles with CTRL-(two fingers up). I have no idea of its effect on a w530 but pull a Restore Point first and try it. Bail if bogus on that model.
Pretty lame help from the techs.
BTW, you can search here with that sw name because I heard about it in this forum and if there are negatives they woud have been discussed back in late 2011, early 2012 when I was looking into this. Good luck.

Satellite A200-19L - TV-OUT not working

I have Satellite A200-19L (PSAEC) with nVidia *GeForce Go 7300.
The laptop came with Windows Vista Home. I downgraded the system to Windows XP
Professional with SP2.
Everything its ok except the fact that now I cannot connect the computer with my TV (I used to connect with _RGB-RGB_ cable, my TV has RGB slot, TV is a Samsung LCD). With Vista it was very easy to connect but now I cannot. And now I have this problem. I cannot to do this connection.
I installed the forceware 156.55 and my driver version is 6.14.11.5655.
If anyone knows how I can do this connection please reply.
It will be _helpful._

Hi
Im not 100% sure if my advice will help you to solve this issue but generally you should update the BIOS to the XP version if you want to use the XP on this Vista unit.
Furthermore you should install all Toshiba drivers in the right order
Then you should be able to use the FN+F5 button combination which helps to switch to the external display device like second monitor or TV.

Satellite A200 - eblib.dll is not designed to run on windows

My Satellite A200 laptop started giving me warnings saying *eblib.*dll is not designed to run on windows or contains an error.
The file was deleted with combofix from c:\programdata\xp.
Do I need this file?
I checked with antivirus both McAfee and Alvira plus several spyware programs and the laptop appears to be clean.
I had the same problem with odbc32.dll. Replaced it with a copy from another vista laptop with success.
Is this file needed?
The only info I found says it is from Compal Electronics but doesn't say what it does or what component uses it.
Would someone send me a clean copy of this file, PLEASE!
Help
Thank-you

Do NOT use CCleaner! I work in an ASP and the number of machines that have had to be rebuilt because of this (plus it opens the backdoor to ther nasties).
odbc32.dll is needed, don't get rid of it and as for eblib.dll, it doesn't appear to be harmful, and could be left over from an install process. If your AV isn't reporting it as a threat, then just leave it. If you want to get rid of it, rename it first, reboot and make sure that everything works, then delete it. If something stops working, rename it back, reboot and all is well.
Don't just delete a file or use a freeware cleaner, they wreck registries and systems.

Re: Satellite A200 Touchpad scroll dosnt work after Win 7 installation

Hello
The BIOS downloads you can find on the same place as drivers:

Before you start the update, close all running programs and make sure that you are logged in as administrator.

Satellite A200 - Touch pad scrolling doesnt working

Hello,
my touchpad scrolling doesn't work.
I tried everything what is possible. But without result.
I think it is maybe on account of a bad driver.
But, I don't know...
In device settings -> settings, I have got only two points: overview buttons
I am sorry for my english, I know that I need to improve it.. :P
Help me pls!
Thank you...

Hi
I dont know if you have installed the OS manually from the Microsoft CD or if you used the Toshiba recovery CD. Using the Toshiba recovery CD you can set the notebook back to the factory settings.
If you have installed a clean OS then you have to install the Toshiba drivers in the right order. Check the installation instruction txt file on the driver page!
Note: There are two different touchpad drivers and both are needful!
Alps Electric Touch Pad Driver - This driver allows you to set the properties and functions for mouse control.
Synaptics Touch Pad Driver - This driver allows you to set the properties and functions for Touch Pad control.
Check and install both!!!
Then you should be able to configure the scrolling again.

Satellite L550 - Touchpad stops scrolling sometimes

Hello,
since I bought my Satellite L550 I have problems with the touchpad.
From time to time it stops the scolling funktionality. I tried different things. I deinstalled the drivers reinstalled them, tried older drivers and so on.
Then I decided to wait until I get my Windows 7. Two days ago I received my package and after the successful upgrade to Windows 7 the problem occured again. Suddenly the scolling-functionality didn't work.
Just a reboot of the system solves the problem.
Then the system works some time, and the problem occures again.
The Touchpad is a Alps Pointing device. T
he current installed driververison is 7.102.302.104.
Hopefully anybody can help me to solve this problem finally.
Thanks a lot
DeadParrot
P.S. sorry for my bad english. I'm from Germany.

Hello
Have you also tried to reinstall the Touchpad driver? You can find the newest version on the Toshiba website.
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Donwload Drivers
You can find two versions One from Alps Electric and the other one from Synaptics. You have to install both drivers!!!
Im not sure if this will solve your problem but its worth a try. ;)

Touchpad mouse scroll not working in newer versions of Firefox

Firefox doesn't seem to like to play nice with touchpad mice on laptops when it comes to scrolling. I am running Windows 7 on an HP G60-535DX with FF 6. I noticed the scroll issue when I bought this computer and was using FF 5 but it seems the problem started with FF 4. I have searched for fixes for this and tried everything that looked promising. I uninstalled my mouse drivers and re-installed them. Everything is up to date. I don't know what else to do. I am in love with the new tab group feature and I don't want to have to switch to Google Chrome.... Help?

Does Firefox use another font instead?
If this is the case then which font?
You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.

Satellite A200-1CC - Battery does not charge

Hi, I am using a 2-year-old A200-1CC. Last week it stopped to inlight the blue Battery-LED. System would not start any more or would break down within 10 seconds. I bought a new battery, assuming that it had passed away. New battery - same problem. With battery in place the yellow-battery-LED appears for 5-10 seconds and than disappears again. System is only running properly without battery in place.
Any idea what the error might be?
Regards

Hi
I think the best way is you go to a local authorized service provider. I mean you have already tried another battery but it doesnt work.
The technicians can check your notebook and exchange parts if it necessary.
For me it sounds like a mainboard issue but the ASP will know that better.
Good luck!

Satellite A200 - Touchpad sensitivity issue

Hi.
Suddenly my touchpad has developed a mind of its own.
If I hover on something for a couple of seconds it is as though I have clicked on it.
It's really annoying as I've been deleting things I don't want to delete, selecting programs I don't want to select etc.etc.
I have looked at the Synaptics settings & can't find anything that may resolve the problem, although I am totally thick when it comes to anything like this.
If anyone can offer a solution which even I can understand I will be really, truly grateful.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi
All touchpad settings that you can change or adjust you can find in control panel > Mouse. If this is not enough for you, you can only contact an authorized service provider for help.
Alternative you use an external mouse as Andrej wrote. To be honest I only use an external mouse because its more comfortable as the touchpad in my opinion.
