Satellite A500-14L: Supervisor Password Utility & Remote Command Manager

Hi,
I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium *x64* on my A500-14L (PSAM3E-02N008FR) and all went smooth, even the TVAP and flashcards install. Unfortunately, I have a problem with the following utilities (latest versions found on Toshiba website) :
- Supervisor Password Utility
- Remote Command Manager
I installed both of them but I can't find them in my start menu!
There is no install error but it's like they are not installed at all.
Can someone please help me on this matter ? Thanks in advance.

Hi
For Supervisor Password Utility I recommend checking the Toshiba Assist.
In Secure you should see the Supervisor Password Utility.
The Remote Control Manager improves the support for a remote control on your computer.
Im not sure if you could access this application but if yes then you should check it in control panel.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Supervisor Password Utility Setup fails

    Hello,
    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
    Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site (http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT).
    BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32
    After the successful installation of the operating system, I started installing the various drivers and utilities downloading them from the Toshiba site.
    When I try to install the "Supervisor Password Utility" the setup fails showing a message box which says "The serial number is invalid".
    Same problem with another setup: "Flash Cards Support Utility"
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem and which serial number is invalid?
    Thanx in advance,
    mme000

    Hi,
    You are having the same trouble as other people on these forums.
    If you want to fix it yourself, you would need to look at the disk image on the disk that came with your toshiba, figure out which version of the application was included on that, you might be able to find that version on the website for a different model and different country (for instance, on the canadian website, for a totally different computer than my UK computer, i found a version of the flashcards support utility that works with mine.) But i don't think its possible to see what's on the restore disk without instaling it, i.e. wiping everything off your harddrive in the process.
    It really is extremely disappointing and frustrating. If anyone knows a way to communicate directly with toshiba about this problem without having to pay some sort of support fee, I would be very interested to hear about it. It seems noone from toshiba actually reads anything from these forum. It seems like a real wasted resource to me....

  • "Touch" buttons no longer work on Satellite A500-14L

    Hi,
    I am owner of Satellite A500-14L (PSAM3E).
    I noticed today that the buttons for switching to ECO mode, or turning keyboard's lights on and off are no longer working, however, witching those settings via Toshiba assist utilities works perfectly.
    I did *not* reconfigure the buttons usage. I was wondering if there was an easy way to "restore" their default functionnalities...
    Thanks by advance !!
    (Already tried shutdown / restart / delog-relog things)

    Unfortunately, reinstalling toshiba VAP did not solve the problem.
    Here's another strange thing:
    -I tried to assign different programs to both the eco and the 'lights' buttons with toshiba button setting program
    -when I then touch a button, it "reacts", which means it beeps, or even blinks for the "light" button, but nothing happens. I mean really nothing, whichever program or file I assign to the button...
    This make me think that the buttons themselves are not faulty, since they beep and blink. What seems to be faulty is the "pipe" that lies behind that step.
    Thanks for any other help you may give ! And thanks for your answers that were usefull anyway...

  • Satellite A100-206 supervisor password issue

    HI
    We have a Satellite A100-206 in the office.
    A colleague trying to protect the laptop has set user password in bios.
    I don't know what exactly she do but at the bootup a password is requested.
    Then she ask me to remove the password so I have typed the password, entred the bios and clear the user password.
    But doing this I 've also note that the supervisor password was already set but not selectable (grey colored) .
    Anyhow I've saved and reboot.
    The problem is that now the O.S. start without asking a password, but I cannot enter the bios anymore because it ask a password and is not the one the collegue remember to have set.
    Why I cannot enter anymore in th bios as user?
    I've also search the hwsetup in windows to re set the user password as indicated in the manual but this software is not present.
    best regards
    Diego

    Thank you for the reply.
    The operating system is windows xp
    I've tried to use hwsetup but i can't find hit in the laptop, reading the manual it should be included in toshiba assist appilcation or locate in the control panel but is not there.
    I have tryied also to download toshiba assit from support site and re install but hwsetup is still not present.
    I can't find the single program "hwsetup" in the list of software downloadable for my laptop , do you know were I can dowload it or in wich software package is included?
    Thanks

  • Satellite L300-1AQ - Password Utility and Firmware installation issue

    Hi
    I have recently reinstalled Vista after crash of the first and then installation of linux.
    Now I have installed most of the Toshiba services packages back on my notebook Sat L300 1AQ but the firmware and password utilities are not getting installed back.
    Firmware shows error message of available target is not available.
    Password utility shows the serial is not correct.
    don't understand why these error messages come and how can I deal with this.
    Thanks
    Anees

    Hi
    Firmware update should be done only if you would notice some problems with the ODD (CD/DVD drive)
    Furthermore the notebook has been equipped with different drives and the firmware published on the Toshiba page seems to be designed only for some certain ODDs.
    So if the notebook uses other ODD then the firmware update would be not supported.
    Check More info on the driver page to get some details about the firmware update and what ODDs are supported!
    Im not quite sure why the Supervisor Password Utility couldnt be installed but I think the message: wrong serial will appear only if you tried to install a tool which was not designed for this notebook model or for the OS.
    The L300-1AQ seems to belong to the PSLB8E series and you should ensure that you have chosen the right model on the driver page.
    PS: be sure that VAP has been installed firstly!

  • Satellite A500-14I - ATI CCC entry is missing

    Hi,
    I got a Toshiba Satellite A500-14l with a radeon mobility HD4650.
    I replace Vista by Windows 7 in september 2009 (thank's to msdnaa), installed the latest driver I found. Few month pass, I decided to update my graphic driver. As you can see, there is no updated driver for Windows 764bit for my laptop model psam3e.
    http://fr.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=FR give me ati driver 8.563.1.5 or 8.634.1
    I wanted to try catalyst 10.7 (8.753) to use ati acceleration with vlc 1.1.1, so I cheat, I pretend my laptop was a L670-psk3ee to get a 8.712.2.1 version of catalyst.
    That works great, and this is the only way i found to get an "almost" up-to-date driver. Then I installed the Hydravision from game.amd.com website (because it's not included in toshiba driver).
    Now, the CCC entry in the right click is missing, and the hydravision tab is missing in CCC too. I never see this problem before, so if anyone have a idea...
    Thank's in advance.
    PS:
    * Using Windows 7 64bit, up-to-date, except ati driver due to toshiba policy.
    * ccc mean Catalyst control center. the shortcut in "all programs" runs fine.
    * Hydravision is a usefull tools to manage multi desk and display. As there is no entry in the CCC i can't configure it, but the multi-desk exe works fine too.
    Everything runs fine on my computer (not the laptop), so I think the problem came from Toshiba driver (as AMD can't provide the generic one due to specific functionnality added by toshiba, like temperature monitoring & cie). So I'm interesting in the possibility to add CCC in the right-click menu, and add the Hydravision tab to CCC.
    ps 2: I already desinstall - clean the registry - reinstall Ati driver & hydravision, it doesn't work.

    Because it's solve bug and add feature ? Try to tell ati/nvidia & microsoft to stop updating theirs programs because it's useless, i'm sure they 'll have a good laught.
    By the way :
    10.7a : add AA in starcraft2.
    10.7 : add gpu accelerationfor VLC
    10.6: GPU acceleration of H.264 video content using Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Video De-blocking support, Mosquito noise reduction, Official support for OpenGL 4.0 and OpenGL 3.3
    10.5 : Support for 120 Hz displays on the ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series and ATI Radeon HD 3000 Series
    10.4 : H.264 Level 5.1 support,
    10.3: ATI Catalyst support for 3D Stereoscopic glasses (one day maybe, it'll be checked)
    Without forgetting all improvement...
    So yes, it's not always necessary, but if you can update it times to times (ie when you reinstall windows), it's not a so bad idea...
    The "official" driver for my laptop is a catalyst 9.11 like.
    But the main matter is still the missing entries. I'll try to bypass toshiba driver, too bad for the warranty : i prefer to use a little more the GPU, and little les the CPU.

  • How to configure supervisor password on Tecra A4

    hello,
    I wish to enable a password for the bios accesson my tecra A4. (supervisor password)
    But when I enable a password, it's for the boot of the pc.
    I want to prevent the basic user to reach the bios without enable a password at the boot of the pc.
    How can I do ?
    Thanks

    Hi
    If you want to set the Supervisor Password so you should do it in the Supervisor password utility.
    On my notebook I have found this utility in the Toshiba Assist -> secure.
    I presume its also on your A4.
    There you can start the Supervisor Password tool. There you have to choose the option registered.
    Please post if it work

  • Satellite A500 - Remote Control Drivers for Windows 7

    Hi everyone,
    I've bought the Satellite A500, very happy with it, but I've completly change the os (vista) for the windows 7 RC, it works just very fine, the only thing is I can't find any drivers for the remote controller included with the laptop. It just doesn't work, no answer at all... I didn't found any driver for the A500 anyway, even for Vista...
    I just know that the remote works fine because I can use it on the media center of my Xbox 360 !! :p
    But from the laptop, no answer at all... I've looked for everywhere, tried to install the remote driver for others Toshiba Model, even the beta one for 7, but still the same problem...
    Your help is welcome, thank You for any answer.
    Coch, France.

    Hi
    > I didn't found any driver for the A500 anyway, even for Vista...
    It looks like the A500 is very new on the market and I believe the drivers (Vista) will be released in the next time
    You will have to wait a little bit
    I think that the Vista driver would be compatible with the Win 7.
    I have installed Win 7 on my notebook and most of the vista drivers are working.

  • Unable to set supervisor password on Satellite L755 BIOS

    Hi, I'm hoping that someone can help me with this issue - I have a toshiba L755 laptop, and was setting up the security protocols on the bios but was unable to set up the supervisor password.
    I registered the user password, as well as the hdd password - both user and master passwords worked for the hdd password, but when I try to select (by pressing the down arrow from the user password on the bios password section) the supervisor password, it just skips over it.
    Please, any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried to set supervisor password using option in Toshiba Assist > secure > Supervisor password? It is small Toshiba utility designed for supervisor password registration.

  • Satellite Pro C660-29W: BIOS won't let me enter the supervisor password

    Computer is a satellite pro C660-29W PSC1ME-00U00KEN
    I've set a BIOS supervisor password (no user password is set). I know the password.
    If I hit F2 it enters the text editor but does not give any opportunity to enter the password, and so whilst I can view everything there is no way to change anything.
    Any suggestions?

    Can this be helpful?

  • Want to buy slim remote control for Satellite A500-17X

    Where can I buy a slim size remote control for my Satellite A500-17x?

    Is your Satellite designed to work with remote control?
    I ask this because it is not known to me that you can use remote control as additional option for notebooks.
    Either is notebook delivered with remote control or certain model is not designed for it.
    Have you checked notebook specification?

  • Satellite L670-134 How to delete Supervisor password?

    Hey, i have an epic problem.
    I was with some friends in a w-lan net and then some Trojan were placed to every of our Laptops. Now he took my administrator rights and set an Supervisor Password.
    Now i cant use my Laptop anymore.
    Can u help me pls fast ?

    You know what supervisor password is?
    The supervisor password is only to secure Bios settings and Hardware setup.
    Mostly set by an administrator so a user can't change Bios settings.
    The user may start and shut down the notebook however he wants and he is able to work with the machine normally - he just needs the supervisor password to enter the Bios or Hardware setup.
    So its kind of security and if you dont know this password, you can not delete this
    In such case you have to contact the Toshiba ASP in order to remove this ;(

  • Satellite A500 - Flash Cards don't work after Windows 7 upgrade

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A500 PSAM3A-04200E. Recently I did an upgrade from Vista to Win 7. I used my system restore disks to reinstall Vista and then did the upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade assistant.
    I find that I can no longer use the Fn key to enable/disable features..
    I have tried downloading the VAP and running it. I have also tried the Start->Toshiba->Utilities->Restart Flash Cards. Neither of these have worked even after a restart...
    Can anyone give me some pointers on what to do next?
    Thanks

    Hi buddy,
    If you have already reinstalled Toshiba Value Added Package, you should also (re)install Flash Cards Support Utility. This tool controls the FN keys and is necessary to get them working.
    You can download it on official Toshiba website:
    www.mytoshiba.com.au
    Check this!!!
