Satellite L550-11K - Device manager shows wrong CPU

I have bought the Satellite L550-11K to myself and because stan it has a p8700 processor with 2.53 GHz. However, in the device manager it stands 2 times a T4200 processor with 2 GHz!!!?

Hey,
I had the same issue that the CPU in my desktop computer wasnt listed properly so I have removed the CPU from device manager (right click > uninstall) and restart the notebook. You have to remove both entries.
After restarting the CPU will be recognized again and this time it should be listed properly. For me it worked. :)
Another question, are you running the preinstalled OS or have you installed another OS?

Satellite C670D-10W - Task manager shows 100% CPU usage

My brand new laptop with factory installed windows 7 and all programs by Toshiba nothing addded shows 100% processor usage in task Manager and works pretty slow. The sum of 80 odd processes shown in task manager never reaches more than 30-50 % but bottom line is always 100%.
Tried process hacker 2, shows same processes as task manager.
What can be the problem?

If you check this forum you will see that you can find many threads with the same or similar content. Many people have noticed the same after notebook purchase, especially phenomena that notebook is pretty slow. Just without panic. What you must do is to optimize preinstalled operating system.
What can be the problem?
Brand new notebook is preinstalled with original Toshiba recovery image. This recovery image contains operating system, all necessary drivers, different Toshiba specific tools and utilities and some additional software like preinstalled McAffe or Norton antivir.
Many of these tools, utilities and additional software will start with operating system and run in the background. To be honest some of them can be deactivated, some of them can be also removed from the system. By default Windows update is set to automatic so when you go online all available windows updates will be installed automatically in the background and this will happen without your knowledge. This updates installation will make your HDD pretty busy and notebook operations will be slowed down.
I recommend you to change this option and set it to Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install.....
I hope you understand what I want to say and if you have more questions you are welcome.

HT5628 After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp "removed" the DVD drive!

After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

Satellite L550-11k - HDMI + VGA at the same time?

Hi there,
I have Satellite L550-11k laptop, and i was wondering if i can have external monitor working hooked up on VGA port and HDMI monitor working ( or just audio from hdmi ) at the same time.
I tried and have no luck making it work together.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 as OS, and i think it's not problem related to operating system.
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards

I was able to select HDMI and VGA,( my built in monitor turned off ) but as i don't have a third monitor ( only laptop one and one external ) i could not test is there a picture on HDMI output but i can say there is no sound so i assume there is no picture also. I just needed sound from HDMI. Maybe i will be able to test it on summer. Thanks on your quick reply. I was wondering is this is a limitation of the graphics adapter ? By the way, it seems Dynadock is not compatible with Linux operating systems.

My DVD drive not reading DVDs, but can read some DVDs with data on it. Device manager shows no error

My DVD drive not reading DVDs, but can read some DVDs with data on it. Device manager shows no errors.
I tried to reinstall driver.
I downloaded new codec
I tried Microsoft FIX IT
Nothing worked.
Need some help.
Thank you!!

Hi Albos, This is a known problem. These superdrives die after a while. See the various threads on this site and the internet. I have the same problem with my Imac 20" 2.16 ghz. Just wants to burn and read cd's. Its has to do with the laser. For DVD an CD are two different laser and the one for DVD's has probably died in yours (as it did in mine). I bought an external LG burner and problem solved. (And a lot cheaper than replacing the superdrive)
Hope this helps you.

Satellite A80 - in device manager ODD listed with with error code 39

Hello,
I have a Satellite A80 127. I have an issue with my CD drive.
When I was trying to upgrade my XP home edition to XP Pro SP2, display said on rebooting that it couldn't read from my CD drive. On inspection I found that my CD/DVD drive is unable to read CDs though it can read DVDs. From what I remember, it was working fine couple of days before.
I was trying to locate the source of problem and through the Troubleshoot option I found that I have a yellow exclamation mark against my SCSI/RAID host controller in my Device Manager (with error code 39). I haven't been able to update the driver it will give me error message. Also, there was a Nero SCSI/RAID controller. I tried removing it to check whether the main one works, but still no success.
Any suggestion would be great and in the meantime I will try to find similar threads.
Thanks
karthik

Hi,
Thanks for the link.
I tried using the 'guided registry' and it showed that all upper and lower filters were cleared in registry. But the CD read problem is still unsolved.
Anyone has any further suggestion?
Thanks a lot !

W8 RSAT Server Manager showing wrong capacity!?

Hello!
I connect from my W8 workstation to Hyper-V Server 2012 remotely and apparently Server Manager shows the wrong capacity in Gibibyte (by factor 10), but the right one in Byte!?
Is this a bug? Any suggestions?
L.

Using Windows 8.1 to connect to a Windows 2012 R2 server, this issue doesn't appear anymore!
I should close this thread as "answered", but since there has never been any answer, e. g. by those who fixed this bug, I leave it open, hoping that anybody responsible reads it and in future we'll get proper answers! Like this hypothetical answer:
"Hi! We checked the source code and indeed there was a bug. It will be addressed by one of the next Windows Updates."
I think this hypothetical answer, including checking the source, would have cost a quarter developer-hour the maximum!

Windows Device Manager shows several driver problems

I have the latest EFI Firmware update and Boot Camp 1.1.1. Windows XP Pro SP2 shows problems in the Device Manager.
(1) What's the USB Human Interface problem? I have no funny USB devices connected.
(2) What's with the yellow question mark at Base System Device?
(3) I have four PCI Express ports flagged with problems.
I'm guessing that the Boot Camp Driver CD has omitted to provide for these devices. I am surmising that many others who have the Mac Pro also see these problems.
Is there any way of dealing with these and fixing the problems? Like, can I download the required drivers from Intel? I have already downloaded and installed INF Update Utility [INFINST_AUTO.EXE] version 2.11.15.0. This was no help in resolving the problem.

I too have had issue with Bluetooth keyboard, specifically the Apple keyboard. It seems to be running ok at the moment but it took me a while for it to pair properly. I still have no idea as to what I did differently that made it work. I think it was pairing them without a code.
Fortunately for me I use Parallels mostly as it's far more convenient so I'm not too bothered about Boot Camp driver support at this moment. When it comes time to play some games though that'll probably change.
The thing with Boot Camp is to be a little patient. Yes we'd like Apple to have sorted everything out a month ago although the software is still in beta form and does not need to be finalised until the realese of Leopard. Hopefully they will get things together sooner rather than later given the clock is ticking.

Playbook is faling to communicate using Desktop SW but BB Device Manager Shows PB as connected

I'm running the Playbook OS 2.0.1.358 and Desktop SW 7.1.0.32 on Windows 7. I've uninstalled and reinstalled DTSW. I've tried 3 different USB cables. The Blackberry Device Manager sees the playbook and shows it as connected.
It's the DTSW that says it canot "communicate" with the device. I've tried to run the Update that it offers to install, but that fails too.
This was working a month ago. Any ideas? Thanks!

Already had done that. The weird thing here is that the BB Device Manager in the system tray has no problem seeing the PB.
Also, am I missing something or is USB the only support for PB? In the DTSW Bluetooth Configuration, it says that "this version of BB Desktop SW doesn't Support Bluetooth connections with BlackBerry Playbook tablets."
Bluetooth Bridge with my Torch is working great.

Qosmio x300-15u: device manager shows 1x 9800M GTS and 1x 9400M

Hi.
I have a Qosmio x300-15u and i have noticed in device manager it only shows 1x 9800m gts and 1x 9400m!!!
Is it right that i should have 2x 9800gts cards showing?
The spec for this machine should have 2x 9800 cards sli (whatever that means) So a total of 1GB video ram.
I'm sure im not getting the full performance of my laptop.
When i go into nvidia control panel it does not say anything about sli.
Btw; I am not running vista anymore.....
i now run windows 7 ultimate 64.
Please help me .
Thanks

Are you using the Display Drivers supplied by Toshiba on the Toshiba Website? Or are you using the nVidia supplied ones?

Device manager shows device but installation CD can't find a Creative prod

Well, I suppose that the title of this thread says it all. My device manager recognizes the Creative product I have in one of the PCI slots, but when I insert the CD to install all of the programs I get an error message that reads "can't find a creative labs product on the system". Why would the computer be able to detect the device but not the CD? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device but that doesn't help.
The kicker is, my sound card worked just fine two weeks ago and I've not changed anything in the system.
I did a search on this topic and other people have run into the same problem but there weren't any solutions posted. I'd really appreciate ANY help as this is a VERY frustrating problem.

this is the glitch I think I had when I installed my XFI Platinum. I followed the instructions by loading all the hardware BEFORE loading any software. So now the card and the bay are installed and I boot up. The instructions tell you to cancel installing hardware at this point. The instructions say to put the CD in and install the software. Like I usually do I do a Custom install. Incidentely it only leaves out a few software options like the Volume Panel and some other stuff I didnt feel I would want. So when I put the disk in the first of 4 items as I remember it was the XFI software which is the mode changer and panel software and more. This is where I got the message you got so I skipped to the next item to install.
I loaded the next item which was I think the media player and then I didnt load the next 2 because I didnt want them. AOl on my desktop and something else.
So I figured it may have loaded drivers at this point but not the software because the card officially was in the system yet. So I rebooted.
When it rebooted It detected the Card and a couple of other devices I think at this point.
So obviously I figured that now the software would load since the card was officially recognized. I put the CD in and selected the first option and it then loaded the XFI software.
Yea this is the one thing I found in the installation as a little confusing and not documented.
Maybe this will help you.Message Edited by Crashman on 05-25-2006 2:3 AM

[Athlon64] Device Manager shows "Other devices: ?(!) RAID Controller"

(This was previously posted to the Operating Systems forum, when I realized it's not really a Windows problem)
In my Windows XP Device Manager, under Other devices, I see ?(!) RAID Controller.
I don't have a RAID controller, and my Serial ATA hard drives are connected to the SATA VIA ports. I've been told that this can be toggled in the BIOS. Now, this started happening after I flashed to BIOS 2.0, and the BIOS isn't exactly straight forward to me. Therefore, I'm having trouble finding that option.
Has anybody had a simliar problem? Any ideas?

=== PROBLEM RESOLVED ===
The two BIOS Default options I have are "Load High Performance Options" and "Load BIOS Setup Options". I chose "High Performance". It was somewhat a two-part procedure.
I entered the BIOS Options, and then Boot Sequence. The available options were: Floppy, CD, or BBS(0) RealTek Boot Agent, but not the Serial ATA hard drives. So I set the Sequence as 1) Floppy, 2) CD, 3) N/A, and 4) Check for other devices: Yes.
I rebooted, and it located the Serial ATA drives and proceeded to the RealTek Boot Agent anyway. I bypassed the Agent by pushing ESC. I entered Windows XP to find that, under Device Manager's SCSI & RAID Controllers, I had one entry: VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller, and no other entries. As of now, Device Manager lists a perfect hardware record.
Now to correct the Boot Sequence. I restarted and re-entered BIOS. I entered Boot Sequence again to find that my Serial ATA drives are now selectable. I changed the Sequence to 1) Floppy, 2) CD, 3) BBS(0) SATA Maxtor, and 4) Check for other devices: No.
Now my system bootup behaves as it should. No lengthy IDE device check and no RealTek boot agent check. Windows XP is also in check! :-)
This was kind of tricky. This doesn't appear to me to be a widespread problem, but I think we oughta put this in a sticky or something. I wanted to say thanks to everybody who contributed to this thread for their help! I'm going to document this fix. LOL

T510 - Device Manager showing multiple Display Adapters

I recently started experiencing a problem with a Java application locking up when moving windows from the laptop screen to an external monitor. One of the things we discovered during troubleshooting is that I am showing 2 Display Adapters:
Intel(R) HD Graphics - running the Laptop Screen
NVIDIA NVS 3100M - running the external Screen
Is this correct? I now also know why when using the NVIDIA Control Center it only shows the one monitor.

I'm not joking.
In BIOS (press F1 key when you see turn on the computer and see the Thinkpad screen) you can select the different graphics mode of the machine. As you are keenly aware, the machine does have 2 graphics processors.
Under Display:
Selecting the Integrated option in BIOS shuts off the nVIDIA graphics card and uses the lower power Intel graphics 3000 on the CPU. This limits graphics performance, but allows for longer battery operation and full CPU speed on battery.
Selecting the Discrete option in BIOS forces the system to use the nVIDIA card. This improves graphics performance, allows you to use multiple monitors, but decreases CPU performance while using battery and reduces battery life.
Selcting Optimus allows software or the user to determine which graphics processor to use "on the fly" so that power budget and GPU performance are balanced for the workload.
Enjoy!

RT Sys Manager shows 100% CPU always

When using the RT System Manager, I have found that the CPU usage is always 100% - even when all loaded VIs are idle. The chart is segmented with yellow (normal priority) tasks and white (low priority tasks) - yellow on top.

Tommy,
What sort of target are you using?
If it is a FieldPoint or Compact FieldPoint RT Controller, this is the normal operation of the module. With FieldPoint RT controllers, there are two programs running simultaneously; the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine and the IA Control Environment. The LabVIEW Run-Time engine is the portion that runs any LabVIEW code that you develop and download. The IA Control Environment is the program that reads/writes to the IO and publishes the data over ethernet (providing all NI Logos protocol based communication). The IA Control Environment is set to run at normal or low priority so that it shares time with your application (running in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine).
You can reduce the time being used by the IA Control Environment by setting the Pause parameter to a value other than 0 ms (valid values are 0 - 1000 ms). By setting the Pause parameter to a non-zero value, you place the control environment to sleep. This will slow down the rate at which new values are published and updates are applied. For example, setting the Pause parameter to 1000 ms means that the channels will be read and published over the network at 1000 ms intervals, potentially causing a delay in the notification of value changes, or the application of new values from write commands that were sent to the module. Note that FieldPoint Reads/Writes performed using the FieldPoint VIs running on code that was downloaded into the module is not effected by the Pause parameter. Alternatively, you can increase the thread priority of your downloaded VIs if you need the processor to spend more time on the LabVIEW code and less on the IA Control Environment.

Aaron

Q: Extension Manager showed wrong language when it was launched.

If Extension Manager is launched from Create Suite products' menu, it will use the locale of the product. If Extension Manger is launched in standalone mode( launching it from start menu or by double clicking or command line ), it will use the locale of the operating system. If you do want to run it in another language, you can add "-locale lang=" parameters. For example, on windows, you can run the command below to show French.
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Extension Manager CS\Adobe Extension Manager CS.exe" -locale lang="fr_FR".
