Satellite C55D-A5304 gaming problem

Hi, about two months ago I bought a Satellite C55D-A5304. To my disappointment, while playing games, I could not use a left click action while using any other button. (For example, when holding the right arrow key as I left click, it doesn't seem like the click registers at all.) I know this model isn't made for gaming, however I'm only playing basic flash games that aren't intensive. Can anyone help me solve this? I've been earching ever since I got the laptop and never found a solution.

Try checking the touchpad settings to see if there's a setting that disables the touchpad during keyboard use.

Satellite C55D-A-149 - Windows 8.1 depressingly SLOW

Hi, I was asked by Toshiba USA to post this here as my laptop is an European model.
I recently got this laptop, so it is still new and so is the installation.
The laptop is TOSHIBA SATELLITE C55D-A-149. I realise that this is a budget laptop and the processor is fairly weak. But still it came pre-installed with Windows 8.1 and afaik isnt Windows 8.1 optimised for slow laptops/tablets but mine is performing really poorly.
Startup is slow, file manager is slow, minimizing a window takes forever and so on.
In order to find out where the problem lies I ran a cross platform benchmark on my machine i.e. on Windows and on Ubuntu linux. I used a live CD to run linux without installing it. The benchmark tool used was Geekbench3: http://www.primatelabs.com/geekbench/
The results of the benchmark can be seen from here: http://browser.primatelabs.com/user/87755
And it is clear how lagging Windows 8.1 is.
What is the reason for this very poor performance?
If Windows 8.1 really is the problem would it be better for me to remove this and install Windows 7? But I dont want to lose my genuine copy of 8.1 as this is what ensures the next free Windows 10 upgrade. Is there any way to partition the hard drive and not lose the recovery partition?
What are my options now

Hi
From my point of few the system is muddled up and i would recommend you to reset the Win 8.1 system to the default settings
This is not very complicated but before doing this, I recommend you to backup your personal data.
Microsoft has published short instruction how to do that. Take a look here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc
I would recommend you to test the first option without affecting the files. In case this does not solve your issue, check the 2nd option: Recovery.

Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5310 running SLOW

I purchased this laptop 3 months ago. When I first login with password, and try to open any programs, including Word, Excel, or my Quicken program, they're VERY slow to load. Even after I get one of those programs loaded, Word for instance, opening a existing Word document is slow. Also, when I first get onto the web, every click to open a website is slow. I don't have much in the way of music on my computer, and have no movies. Any ideas? Time to send it to Toshiba for repair?
This is a Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5310, AMD Quad-core (A8-6410), Part No. PSCN4U-00T019
Thanks!!!

This is an experiment to learn more. What happens in Safe Mode with Networking? Are things still slow?
Open the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe), set it this way, OK out, and restart Windows.

The charger port on my Toshiba Satellite C55D-A5208 doesn't work anymore?

I have a Toshiba Satellite C55D-A5208 laptop, and when I tried to plug in my regular charger into my laptop, the place where I plug my charger into the charging place on laptop got pushed in further into my laptop and now my charger can't reach the charging place of my laptop, and I'm not sure what to do. I'm not really a tech or mechanical professional but is there anyway to fix this, so I can charge my laptop again? It's because I really don't want to have to go to a repair shop and pay $200 or more dollars if I can just fix it on my own. And, I also thought that since my laptop has a USB port it, is there a laptop charger adapters out there? Would that be a better option to charge my laptop since the charging place on my laptop got pushed further into my computer? Thank you.

Thanks for your hint, but I tried to roll back windows to a status before the updates. However, during this process I got error 0x80070005.
I repeated the process with :
- Internet disconnected
- without the Internet security package Kaspersky active
My laptop was pre-installed with windows 8.1 and is not connected to other workstations.
Can you give me another hint please ?

Additional information :
The left/right buttons work fine, but when i move with my finger over the touchpad it acts like the up and down arrows.
Moving left or right doesn't do anything.
Disabling the touchpad with F5 also works fine

Satellite C55D - missing driver - ACPI-compliant Device

Hello,
I have a Satellite C55d-A-15H -   Windows 8.1 64bit
In Device Manager I have an entry marked "Other Devices" with a sub entry of 'Unknown Device !'
A right click on this and "properties" says:
Device Type: Other Devices
Manufacturer: Unknown
Location: On Microsoft ACPI-compliant System
The drivers are not installed (code 28)
There are no compatible drivers for this device
When checking update driver via on-line - it fails with "Windows was unable to install your unkown device"
Does anyone know please what's this all about and is there a driver - I've looked at the Toshiba driver list and can't seem to find anything
thank you

Downloads here.
It's not a driver, but supplied by one of Toshiba's utilities. Try this one.
   Toshiba System Driver for Windows 8.1 - 64 Bit, 1.00.0030, 14/02/14
Probably makes no difference anyway.

Hi I have satellite A100 I have problem

hi I have satellite A100 I have problem
when I want to turn on notebook in the first I see toshiba logo but in the next only see j in the LCD
and anythings don't work
what can I do ?
please guide me in this problem

> External Monitor is flickering like a flag going up and down when AC adapter is connected to notebook.
> When notebook is working on battery everything is ok. What is wrong my AC adapter or my notebook (graphic card) or something else??
I already read about such issue and it looks like a grounding issue.
Try to use a 3 prong to 2 prong adapter, so the AC Adapter is no longer grounded.
Try also some different VGA cables with better shielding from interference.
I found also this thread about very similar issue.

Finally the user solved this using other power cable that came with the external monitor.
The first one was faulty.

Gaming problems in Vista - Satellite P300

Hey.
I just bought a Toshiba Satellite P300-1CE that came with Vista Home Premium. The problem is that I cannot run any game on it. I've tryed NFS Most Wanted, Battlefield 2 and Titan Quest(theoretically I should have no problems with my configuration - processor P8400, video Ati 3650, drivers up to date).
When I try to run the game, I only get a black screen and the computer freezes, I need to reboot. Any ideas?

Have you installed SP1 for Windows Vista and all other Hotfixes?
Are you sure that the drivers up to date? Check this on the Toshiba website and you should only use the Toshiba graphic driver because they have an overheat protection.

Do you have an antivirus program? Try to disable it while you play games.

2011 MBP 15 gaming problem

I charged my battery to 100% then played Starcraft for a while and my battery was at 15% so i plugged in the charger. After about an hour i notice the indicator on the charger was green and i was thinking wow that was a fast charge, so i take a look at the battery and its at 15%. While i was playing Starcraft the battery didn't charge at all, it would go down to 14% start charging then stop charging at 15% then start charging again at 14% and it cycled like that for some time. So after i was done playing and closed out of Starcraft then the battery started charging. So battery charges only when not in starcraft. Anyone else have this problem? any solutions?

Get yourself a $8000 alienware gaming laptop from Dell, it will drink even more power and the battery will be dead in 30 minutes.
Laptops are designed with the right balance of performance and portability, you have to accept that or just get a desktop machine which perform about 2-3x better in games anyway. If you can't spend the money for that, then get yourself a console like a PS3 or a X-Box, both drink huge amounts of power, are basically heaters and need elaborate cooling.
Apple is shifting their entire laptop line over to integrated graphics, only the 2.2 Ghz 15" and better have the powerful 1GB Radeon 6750M for 3D gaming.
Take what you can get for as long as you can get it. It might be lame 2D games like Tetris and BubblePop here shortly.

Satellite L750 - drivers installation problem

Hello good people of the internet,
I have a problem with drivers' updates/installation on my Satellite L750-1E3, Windows 7-64 bit.
When I launch the installer, it decompresses, telling me it will launch afterwards, but then the window closes and nothing further happens.
I've read about the same problem one person here had with the L855-10P series but, maybe because I'm a girl or maybe because I'm not a native English speaker, I didn't uderstand what to do...
I actually have problem with more things.
My webcam stopped working, when I try to launch it I get the error message that tells me "the initialization went wrong, restart your webcam or computer".
So I tried to reinstall the driver but the problem I described above appeared.
The same driver installation problem appeared when Tempro told me to update my blu-ray driver (I download all the drivers from eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com).
And the last one, for about a month there are problems with the sound on my notebook.
First cracking of sound and then it stops working completely and I have to restart the computer.
Again, I tried to reinstall the sound drivers.
There are two drivers on the Toshiba site, one of them reinstalled just fine but the other one (nvidia, I think) had the same problem as the other drivers.
Someone please tell me what to do, because I am becaoming really desperate and I seriously considered throwing my notebook out of the window.
Thank you

Usually the HDD recovery is the easiest to get the notebooks factory settings and to get it running again.
>My webcam stopped working, when I try to launch it I get the error message that tells me "the initialization went wrong, restart your webcam or computer". So I tried to reinstall the driver but the problem I described above appeared..
Its interesting to know if the webcam or an unknown imagine device (probably webcam) appear in device manager. Please check this.
If the webcam isnt listed there, you should check if the webcam is enabled in BIOS.
To access the BIOS press F2. Then go to Advanced tab -> System configuration -> webcam
If the webcam is enabled in BIOS but still not recognized and not listed in device manager, then you should recover the notebook to factory setting to check if the webcam module isnt faulty.
>The same driver installation problem appeared when Tempro told me to update my blu-ray driver (I download all the drivers from eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com).
The Blu-ray player update works only for notebook equipped with blu-ray drive. If your notebook does not support blu-ray drive

Satellite L30-113 Memory Problem

I have a Satellite L30-113 that is not reporting the correct
memory size.
The system was supplied with 512Mb and I have installed an additional 1Gb
Stick but for some reason windows is only reporting 896Mb installed, and the Graphics card
is using 128Mb. The BIOS is also reporting that only 896Mb of ram is installed.
When I run system Info for windows it only detects the 1GB module installed
although if i remove one memory module and have either the 512 or 1GB installed
it works fine.
I have also installed the latest BIOS and this doesn’t seam to
have had any affect.
Also both memory sticks have been tested in an other laptop so i know they both work.
Are there any issues with mixing memory sizes in these laptops or do the memory
sticks have to be matched sizes?
The OS is Windows XP Pro

I don't agree, because usually L30 supports not only the same modules. One of my friends has 512mb Hynix and 1gb Kingmax in his L30 installed, and has no problem with it. There's a guy in another topic how uses 533mhz and 667mhz modules together, and he also has no problem. So I think you should choose the modules carefully and I recommend the same modules too, but it doesn't mean you couldn't use different modules in L30. Mostly you should care about the manufacturer, for example Kingmax, Kingston, Corsair, Samsung, Hynix could be a good choice. I'm sure there are another good brands too, but as I see usually there are no compatibility problems with these modules.

Satellite L655D-S5050 Problems With Start Up

After one month of usage my Satellite L655D-S5050 would not start up. It keeps referring me to a blank screen and a cursor. What can I do before trying to get the recovery discs?

During Boot, press repeatedly F8 to see if you can access the Windows Boot Options. From there, see if it will load safe mode. If it does, do the following:
1) Open My Computer
2) Right click the hard disc partitions listed and select properties from the drop down menu
3) There should be a tab in the new smaller window that opens that is "Tools". Select that
4) The first option listed in the tab is "Error-Checking" and has the button "Check Now". Click that button.
5) It will open a new window. Be sure to check both boxes to check for bad sectors and attempt to repair them. Then click start.
6) It may need to reboot to do this, tell it "OK" and reboot if need be.
7) Let it run and see if it performs the Check Disc and note any corrupt or bad sectors it lists.
8) Once done, it should attempt to reload Windows.
Report back if it runs into a new problem (be sure to record what it says and listed it specifically) and or if this helps fix it for you.

Satellite A660 - USB boot problems after BIOS update

Hello,
I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and recently have update the BIOS to the latest version (1.80). Since then the notebook will freeze on the boot screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
It works without the flash memory connected and also if I connect it after I enter the boot menu or the BIOS setup. I can even boot from it like this.
As far as I am concerned this is a serious regression. Is there any way I can downgrade the BIOS version, or any other way to fix this issue ? I rely heavily on external USB drives.
Regards,
Claudiu.

I too am having problems with my A660 since upgrading to 1.80 bios - the HDD/SD utility, the pc health monitor and half the other toshiba utilities no longer work because they can't recognize the bios and actually tell me this... I get an error message telling me ''can't get bios type''...
On top of this I get the boot problem as well - I have to unplug half of my USB devices to get the laptop to boot properly...
And now - one month into owning my new A660 - after a hard drive failure, a problem with the Broadcom internal wireless adaptor I now have the internal TV tuner no longer working and have no idea how to fix it...
My gut feeling is that the sooner I can downgrade to the original factory bios the BETTER - and wait for another bios update to come along that is not faulty/buggy...
HOPE someone can help me with this...
John.

Gaming problems

I am having problems getting booted playing Pirates of the caribbean online-- this has just happened recently- and I am losing my mind with their help-- any one have any problems with gaming-- I freeze and then POOF I am gone- poco1949

It is unlear what you are asking us to assist with. What model unit do you have? Check the specs of the game vs the specs of your unit for compatbility. You can go to www.microsoft.com GAME ADVISOR and it has this link to cross check your specs with identified games. Now, some games are not listed, so you may have to go to the manufacturer of that game and learn what specs are needed. Also, when online game playing check out the server access being used-private or the company.

Xfi xtreme gaming - problems with microph

hi, i just bought the xfi xtreme gaming sound blaster. but in the teamspeak, other mates hear there voice with hall, my voice and everything that?s happening on my pc, for example the music i ?play on my computer and the soundeffects in my games and sounds in windows. another problem is that, if i change the sound mode (for example from entertainment mode to gaming mode and back) my mixer settings reset. so what can i do?

i have already checked 'micrphone' in the recording settings. when i go to the xtreme gamer mixer settings, and i select the microphone under 'rec', another line with microphone appears and i don?t know what that mean. a buddy bought the same soundcard and has exactly the same problem. i can fix it for my daily usage (setting the teamspeak voice activation volume a bit louder and the record volume some quieter. but i think if i will record some music with the microphone (i play in a band), the problem will still be there (record all that i hear through my speakers / headphones)
the problem is still there, so i didn?t solve the problem! i just decrease the symptoms!

Satellite M300 - DVD Drive Problem

Hi
I have a Satellite M300 and when I insert a DVD movie to watch the DVD drive spins and hums but the disk is not read. The drive stays like this and when I try to eject the disk there is no response at all form the computer.
When I try to eject through windows media player it says the drive is busy, but still nothing happens.
The drive continues to spin and hum loudly without reading the disk and the only way to stop the disk spinning and to eject the DVD is to restart the computer and eject during load up before the computer tries to read the disk again.
I am only a novice at notebooks so any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Also the computer was purchased in Australia and I am currently living in Germany
Please reply in English
Thanks Daniel

its is a strange problem, it will do it with more so original DVD's, but does happen on occasion with burnt or created disks
with original disks it might happen a few times then on an off chance the disk will be read and works fine, but more so it is not read
