Satellite A500-17X - When will new display driver be released?

Is there any information about when the NVIDIA 190.xx or 195.xx drivers will be released for the A500-17X?
I'm trying to use the CUDA Toolkit 2.3 drivers (which are the first drivers which support OpenCL) and I'd really need the 19x.xx NVIDIA display drivers (currently, the most recent driver is the 186.42 driver). I'm just trying to get an idea, if possible, when I might be able to run some tests with OpenCL.
Thanks.

Well, an update. Actually, my question as to when we might have new drivers has not been addressed, but I was given some information to update the drivers using the ones on the NVIDIA website.
However, because this has not been tested, and you could potentially cause problems (which means I would not recommend someone who does not have fairly extensive experience with driver installations and recovery of a system, to try this, in case things do go wrong), I will let anyone interested contact Toshiba directly to request the information.
However, it does seem to address a problem that has appeared in another thread, regarding crackling/freezing/blue screen of death. So far, my system seems to be much better with this upgrade, so, if the problem is indeed due to the NVIDIA drivers, I can only suggest that Toshiba hurries up and officially releases the new drivers.

Will new Ati Driver be released?

Hello together,
will there ever be new ati driver be released for the T500 (I’m running xp on it). The 8.5 one is nearly 9 months old and catalyst 9.3 which has recently been released should bring series performance improvements with it.
A few years ago I remember that my 9200 had to be updated through unofficial “omega” drivers but this seems to be ages ago so I’m my Information is a little outdated. Might there be a similar way to update the 3650 “unofficially”?
Kind Regards,
Teal

The special ATI switchable graphics driver is for Vista only. For XP just install the modified ATI driver with BIOS set to discrete graphics mode. Download the latest HD3650 driver (for stationary computers) from the AMD/ATI website and modify it with the Mobility Modder from here .
T500: Vista 32, 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM, 15.4" 1680x1050, 500GB 7200rpm, ATI Radeon HD3650 + Intel 4500MHD. T42: XP, 1.7GHz, 2GB RAM, 14.1" 1024x768, 250GB PATA, ATI Radeon 7500.

When will new MBP styles be released?

I'm looking at picking up a refurb 13" with the 17 processor, but is that stupid to do right now? Is the new release expected soon? I guess I don't want to invest if my machine will be obsolete in 6 months. I know Apple is constantly upgrading...will this machine be a good purchase to last me 3-4 years or should I wait?

New display driver for Satellite P100-354 PSAE6E with XP MCE

in support form toshiba is the newest of 15/07/2007. Is there an new Display driver, my has a problem with gaming "age of conan"

I'am afraid to tell you, but the version on the Toshiba download pages is the latetest Toshiba certified version. If you want to, you could use alternative drivers from other pages, but these are, as I mentioned before not certified and you might use them at your own risk.
Anyway, have you tried to install this driver version and checked if the latest DirectX is installed on your system?

Satellite A500-17X: How to install Win XP mode for Win 7 64bit

I bought a Toshiba Satellite A500 17X Laptop recently.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I have since upgraded to Professional. I am trying to download and install the XP Mode from the Microsot website.
I have quit a few bits of software mostly Astronomy which worked in XP but will not install on Windows 7.
From the Microsoft web site i selected Professional 64bit from the drop down list.
When i tried installing the file a message popped up saying: +This is not a valid Win32 file+
So i downloaded the Professional 32bit file.
When i tried to install this the same message popped up. According to the videos on the Microsoft web site this should be easy.
Anyone know what i am doing wrong.
Thank You.

I too recently bought a Toshiba A500 17X laptop. Like you I also need to run some legacy XP programs that do not run under Win 7.
So, I found out that I must upgrade from Win 7 Home Premium to Win 7 Professional. But .... before parting with 100 quid or so I thought I would investigate a little.
At the Microsoft web site:-
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
It explains what steps to take.
At Step 2 you can run a tool to determine if 'your PC hardware works with Windows XP Mode...' This hyperlink takes you to the Microsoft Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Tool where you can download a guide and the tool to see if the PC is up to it.
I did this and it seems the hardware is NOT up to the task, nor as far as I can determine is there a switch in the BIOS to allow this.
Don't think it matters whether Win 7 is 32-bit or 64-bit.
This is really not good enough for a laptop that cost £700. ............or am I wrong?

Satellite A500-17X restarts while playing games

Hello all,
I have had my toshiba satellite a500-17x for about two years, I bought it to play Starcraft and world of warcraft. Ever since i got it i have had a problem with it. While playing games it would suddenly restart the laptop. I contacted the customer support and had it taken back to see if they could find out what was wrong with it. They said it was fine and it must be the games software that was causing the problem. (I do not believe that this is the problem since i reinstalled all software and the problem persisted)
I felt that they were trying to bluff me with this answer. Either they did not do an indebt inspection to try to resolve the problem or I believed that the model itself was flawed.
Anyway I wanted to say that the laptop can sometimes play fine for hours but on other days it will crash multiple times.
I just want to point out something; my graphics card driver is up to date. My air vents are completely clear. The temperature is stable. I have put the power management to maximum. I play with a battery in and the laptop is plugged in. This has also happened from a cold start.
During the restart i am given no advanced warning. The laptop just turns off (no beeps, no blue screen) and restarts.
I have never posted here before and i would really appreciate your help.
I know this has been a problem in the past with this model as i have searched forums for solutions but I cant find one.
If you know of a solution I would be very grateful.
Thanks

Hi
Gaming issues are always very difficult themes because nobody can say exactly if its caused by game <-> GPU driver compatibility problems or notebook (hardware) issues.
You said you had this issue playing two games but does it happens playing other games or running other applications (no games)???
In your case I recommend checking some gaming forums about StarCraft and WoW.
Maybe you will find some more details about that.
At the other hand the unit supports an NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M graphic chip.
Some people said that nVIdia driver 8.16.11.8973 would run stable

Satellite A500-17X - Games slow down if I play on battery mode

Hi
When my laptop (Satellite A500-17X) is plugged in, the game I play (Call Of Duty 4) works very nice but if I try to play the game while my laptop is on battery the games slows down. If you know what I mean.
Is this supposed to happen because the graphic card doesn't work well when the laptop is on battery or is something wrong with my laptop?

Hi
As mentioned my Syntax, Windows power management decreases the performance of some devices like GPU or CPU using battery mode.
This helps to safe the battery power and to increase the battery working time
Furthermore your cooling modules dont run with full performance using battery and this would lead to a higher internal temperature which could slow down the CPU and GPU as well
So connected the AC adaptor or change the settings in power management but you should note that this will decrease the battery working time dramatically.

Satellite A500-17X - Which Windows version is installed?

The Toshiba detection tool indicates that my laptop runs a Windows Vista OS. But the Hardware basic information says it is a Windows7 premium home edition. Which is correct?
I have a Satellite A500-17X purchased from pc world. The laptop was advertised as a Win 7 laptop.
Thanks

Hello Xardas
I have a Windows 7 Home edition installed. The problem is, when I run the "TOSHIBA-242-detector" on the Toshiba support site it detects the OS on my laptop as a Windows Vista OS. I clicked Computer ==> Properties and the result indicated that a Windows 7 premium Home Edtion is installed - hence my confusion.
Anymore suggestions? Thanks

Satellite A500-17X and HD TV

I am trying to connect my Satellite A500-17X to my HD TV via HDMI Cable, but I keep getting No Signal appear on the TV screen.
Can someone tell me does this laptop support HD?
Can this laptop be connected to a TV?
Thank You.
Greyhound

Hello
Yes, your laptop can be connected to TV. As you can see this notebook model is offered with HDMI port to allow you best video and audio signal transfer from your notebook to the TV.
HDMI port on your Satellite supports HDMI V1.3 (1080p).
Important is that you must enable right port on TV to get picture there.
So connect your notebook to the TV, enable video-in port (it can be HDMI1 or HDMI2, depending on TV) and use FN+F5 key combination to switch between notebooks display and your TV.
In users manual should be explained how it works.
If you dont have it you can download it HERE .
If youhave more questions you are welcome.

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?

When will Flash Builder 5 be released?

When will Flash Builder 5 be released?

Good idea, i want work on Flash Builder 5
PS: Suggestion for mossed components since 2004 by Macromedia Inc.
Very old components from Flash MX 2004 / Flash 8 we missed there.
Flex SDK sees **** because xml-list for menu and it sometimes get error like menu doesn't load xml.
I knew about good functions by menu components from MX 2004 / 8 like thios
<instance> is menu component:
package
// Convert from old component by Macromedia into AS3
import components.Menu;
import components.MenuItem; // Idea by SourceSkyBoxer
import flash.Display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class MainApp extends Sprite
private var menu:Menu;
private var fileItem:MenuItem;
private var closeItem:MenuItem;
public function MainApp()
menu = new Menu();
menu.addItem(fileItem);
menu.x = menu.y = 10;
this.addChild(menu);
fileItem = new MenuItem();
fileItem.label = "File";
newItem.addItem(closeItem)
closeItem = new MenuItem();
closeItem.label = "Close an application!";
closeItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickCLose);
private function onClickCLose(mev:MouseEvent):void
// Something function for handler
PS: I really missed Menu Component because MouseEvent.RightCLick / MouseEvent.CONTEXT_MENU are available since Flash Player 9. I am getting crazy because Menu Component from Flash Pro 9, 10, 11 and 12 haven't yet. Now Flex SDK has MouseEvent.CONTEXT_MENU here and i have tested Menu from Flex Component ( Flex SDK 3.6.0a ) = It works fine like i have created example desktop into Flash Player 11
Build by Flex SDK 4.9.11 with MX Version.
But i want go back Flash Pro CS5.5 / Flash Pro CS6. - Did you develop any minimal components for Pure AS3?
And i have tested with Aspiere Component uiMenu and it works fine, too with Away 3D under Flash Builder 4.5
PS: Aspire Components has faked skins like Windows 2k, XP and Vista Skins
There images are Flash Player 12, Aspire Component UI by Ghostwire with Away3D 4.1.6
But Aspire Component sees like Flex Components But they won't work with Away 3D - View3D inside uiWindow was hidden.
For future with Flash Player 13/14 looks like accessed hidden contextmenu like Qooxdoo Frameworks. I want to hide with Flash Player's Contextmenu.
Application's Container should to set to false without contextmenu. = No contextmenu? If they like this.... Thanks for support

When will IAS9.0.4 be released !!!

When will IAS9.0.4 be released !!!

Indeed it's very confusing. This week I also heard that version 9.0.2.6 will be released in the end of March, including the upgrade scripts.
The release date for 9.0.4 is not set yet, but they told me that upgrading from 3.0.9 to 9.0.4 will NOT be supported. So, we all have to migrate first to 9.0.2. I do not know whether you've tried it yet, but one of the biggest problems is that virtual hosts (and ssodatax) are not working in that version. So, if you have more than one domainname pointing to your portal-server, it will not be possible anymore to keep the url as the user typed it in. By the way, version 9.0.2 is the first "major release" and would it be wise to use that version for large production sites?
It is also very alarming that 904 takes so long. We only wanted a nice WYSIWIG editor for the text items and got a completely new product 902. Perhaps 904 will be totally new as well....
