Satellite P100-240 : Keyboard errors in Microsoft Outlook

When I try to insert a symbol when using Microsoft Outlook I get a # symbol - and cannot find the symbol anywhere - the keyboard is fine in other packages - is there a simple way to fix the keyboard for Outlook only?

Do these mixed signs appear in other applications like MS Word?
According to your description I would recommend to change the Keyboard language settings.
Possibly you use an UK keyboard layout but the settings were set to English US.

  • Can't use new external TV as a monitor for my Satellite P100-240

    Hi
    I have connected my Toshiba to a new Panasonic LCD 32" via a VGA cable.
    When The computer boots up, I get the standard Toshiba opening page and then the Windows XP opening on the TV monitor, but then nothing while my laptop boots up.
    When fully booted, I get the same desktop as the Toshiba on my TV BUT no icons etc, just the desktop.
    If I change the screensave on the Toshiba, it changes on the TV so I am getting a connection.
    Any advice or help greatly appreciated.
    I have tried the usual things (e.g. checking box for extend my desktop onto this monitor)

    Who knows why the FN keys dont work on the Satellite P100-240 PSPA3E.
    Maybe the drivers and the utility were muddled up!
    If you use the original Toshiba image on this notebook then everything should works ok!
    You could try to refresh for example the Hotkey Utility which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.
    Furthermore the NVidia Geforce manager (you can find it in the control panel) provides different settings. Check this!

  • Games won't run above 1024 x 768 on Satellite P100-240

    I have a Satellite P100-240 with geforce 7900gs 512mb graphics, running xpmc, games run fine however they will not run above 1024 x 768.
    The native resolution is 1400 x 900 but the scaling feature does not seem to work. If i try to run anyhing above 1024 it eithers goes to a default value like 640x480 or the i can only see part of the image (like the rest if off screen) is there anything i can do?
    My old P10 used to just scale image to fit the wide screen.

    Hi
    To be honest I dont think that this is a notebook problem.
    As far as I know the screen resolution can be changed in the games setup.
    This fact applies to all games which I have played.
    But there is no harm to try a graphic driver update.
    You could try to use an nVidia driver from the www.laptopvideo2go.com site

  • Need a BIOS flash boot disk for Satellite P100-240

    I need to be able to flash my Satellite P100-240 from a bootable CD.
    The only BIOS I can find on this site needs to be run from windows.
    Ive seen BIOS 4.40 for P100 on other Toshiba sites, eg:
    http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=2115 524xml&sliceId=&dialogID=56504155&stateId=0%200%20 56506013
    But not sure whether that is appropriate for P100-240.
    They seem to be completely differently named. Not sure if thats a country based thing.
    Will the BIOS in the link mentioned be ok to run on my p100-240??

    Your notebook is NOT US series but European series and you have to use the BIOS from the Toshiba European driver page!
    The wrong BIOS can damage the notebooks BIOS ROM module!!! And this would lead to the point where you wouldnt be able to boot the machine!!!
    Therefore you should ALWAYS use the BIOS designed for this notebook series!!!
    Furthermore you will not find any traditional BIOS updates on the Toshiba page!
    There are only windows-based BIOS updates and you could update it ONLY from running windows OS.
    If the notebooks BIOS cannot be updated from the Windows OS then you have to contact the Toshiba technician and have to ask for the help!!!
    This is everything what you can do

  • Satellite P100-160 - Keyboard fault

    I have a Satellite P100-160 which was working fine but has gradually become unreliable. Initially I blamed PKZIP v9 since it was the last thing installed before the system started to go downhill so I uninstalled it. But alas it was not to blame. It looks now like a h/w fault. I have a couple of problems related to this.
    When the keyboard locks up it is stone dead. Nothing. No keys at all work. Not even the CapsLock, NumLock or power On/Off button (you can hold it down forever). Typically after a failure I have to close the system down using the mouse, but at the last gasp the mouse pointer also freezes and then I have to let the battery run right down to regain control (wasting a couple of hours). I am reluctant to switch off by removing the battery.
    Is there a system reset button hiding somewhere? Or somewhere to prod it with a sharp stick?
    The problem is clearly getting worse. BIOS reports no faults. After a full power down by running out of battery it usually restarts OK with the usual warnings and will run for a while before the keyboard locks out again. But this last time the keyboard was stone dead from the very instant of bootup. I could not move the cursor on the SAFE mode boot screen. So after the timeout period it tried to boot Vista. This got as far as having a very faint "(c) Microsoft Corporation" visible in the lower middle of an otherwise black screen and stopped. It is currently sat waiting for the battery to go flat again.
    Ideally I would like a few suggestions on other tricks to try and especially on a quicker way of regaining control when the thing goes belly up that is faster than leaving it running until battery failure. I can keep it low on battery but it is getting really frustrating since the thing will usually work for just long enough to recharge its battery and then die horribly losing all keyboard input again. System diagnostics find nothing wrong up to the time it stops working. There doesn't appear to be a standard external old PS2 keyboard connector on it.
    You can still run programs when the keyboard is dead in the water provided you don't want to type in any text. And the PC is visible across the network - except in the most recent incident where it didn't get as far as starting Vista properly. And may never do so again unless I can plug a working keyboard into it.
    I couldn't spot anyone with similar problems in these forums, but would be grateful for any tips on what else to try. I would particularly like suggestions to make fault finding a bit quicker now that the fault is recurrent. It is under warrantee but it would be inconvenient to be without it for any length of time.
    Regards,
    Martin Brown

    It is a strange sort of lockout. I don't have a USB keyboard, but I have a hunch that if I connected one it would work. I may get a chance to try this next weekend.
    I have established that I can still type stuff if rather tediously by using cut & paste from the CharacterMap utility. This is actually useful since it allows work in progress to be manually "saved as" new filename shortly after the keyboard latches up and dies. It just failed again :(
    It is very annoying that the power off button is also deactivated by this failure mode.
    I don't really want to go right back to factory settings and then have to bring it back up to spec again if I can avoid it. I strongly suspect it is hardware related. Although similar but not identical problems have been reported with some older Toshiba BIOSs & Vista and this one is a PSPAAE with BIOS v3.80 where as the latest version for AAE on offer is v4.30-WIN. It is with great trepidation I am considering applying the BIOS upgrade. It could easily be a Vista vs Toshiba power management issue. Failures do seem to be correlated with me taking a tea break (so that the suspend/powersave/screensaver are invoked).
    The Toshiba manuals refer indirectly to there being a reset button you can press with the point of a biro, but there is no illustration of where the reset button if it exists has been cunningly hidden. This would be preferable to waiting for its battery to run down after each failure. Any ideas where it is hidden please?

  • How to fix an error for Microsoft Outlook.

    HI,
    I hope you can help me with this-
    Everytime I open up my Microsoft Outlook with my Mac, I get a pop up window saying "Microsoft Outlook must be closed because an error occurred. Any unsaved work may be lost". I'm forced to quit the application within 10 seconds of opening up Outlook. I've updated the application to it's newest, and I'm still faceing the same problem. I've gone to my library, and dragged the plist over to desktop to reset the prfile, and wipe the bugs, and I'm still facing the pop ups.
    Anything you can do to help with be much appreciated and a day saver.

  • Satellite P100-240 wont boot up after failed BIOS update

    Hi, let me just start by saying im an idiot....
    Dowloaded a few drivers for my toshiba p100 240 and noticed there was a BIOS update, i downloaded it and ran the program only for it to come up with
    an error that it will only allow the Administrator to run program. My laptop became slow and would not allow me to turn it off by any means. In the end i took out the
    battery and restarted only to find a blank screen, no start up or anything on screen.
    I fear i have totally killed my machine and its about 4 months out of warrenty, Im sure there is no cheap miricle cure for this but if anyone can give me my options here I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks for your time,
    Martin.

    Hi mate,
    Thats a bit of a problem... If your machine really wont boot up and no screen comes up, then your BIOS was probably damaged.
    I would really recommend you to contact an [authorized service partner|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_whitepaper.jsp?service=EU&WHITEPAPER_ID=0 000000871] and tell them your problem. Maybe they can do something for. I mean, your machines hardware is ok, and its just some BIOS related thing.
    Hope your machine will work again..

  • Satellite P100-240 - Doesn't boot properly

    I'm posting on behalf of a friend who has this problem, we only have contact via mobile texts :( I may not be able to immediately provide all the answers you seek to resolve this problem.
    Hi,
    The laptop (P100-240) turned itself off whilst playing a game 2 days ago, since then the following problems have been experianced;
    Loading windows in normal mode results in instant Blue Screen (specific info unavilable). Windows in normal mode has not been accessed since this problem began.
    Loading windows in safe mode worked for a while, but internet access resulted in Blue Screen aswell, for a while this problem resolved itself, safe mode no longer works to my knowledge.
    The visual display appears at all times distorted, a matrix like effect. I don't know wether this effect is passive, or only during windows or startup, details on how it looks or anything very specific.
    A blue screen mentioned the file nv4_mini.sys, this is an nvidia driver file for laptops as far as I know. A gfx driver update cured nothing.
    The current situation is total lack of access to the desktop, I think it blue screens just after the welcome screen. I don't know what the blue screen says atm, but the disabling of memory options in the bios was recommended by something... I don't know wether the option is even available to the p100-240s bios system, googling this problem came up with mentions of disabling video caching and shadowing options in the bios as the definition of bios memory options, and that these options don't always exist.
    However, my diagnosis is that the video card is just fried :( which would be a worse problem than a software or options problem as far as a quick and simple solution is concerned.
    Any solutions, advice or questions? I'm struggling to find and give useful advice, and learning the situation in detail is tricky aswell.
    So far a registry clean has been done, an anti-virus scan has been done, a system restore has been done, a video card driver update has been done and a bios update has been done. In that order, for what relevance that has.
    Help? :\
    I've seen similar problems on the internet, but only once was it a near-identical problem with the same model of laptop.

    The Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 is a separate card that attaches to the bottom of the motherboard on the top left side.
    The card itself has a fan/heat sink unit attached to it and measures about 3x5 inches. I have become intimately familiar with this card and the P100 in the apst few days.
    Laptop worked until one day the screen went blank. Not dark black blank when its off, but rather when the backlight is on but no immage is available. The laptop starts in safe mode and also in the VGA mode. The problem can be seens even before windows starts up. There are vertical lines across the screen, they either distort color on the image (as in the toshiba welcome screen) or plainly black out letters as in the widnows start-up selection screen. Sometimes restarting after VGA mode removes these lines and system starts up normaly. Then once booted the screen goes blank either right away or in 5/10/20 minutes. I have replaced the video card and the system board to no avail.
    I think I will try replacing the screen power inverter next, will see if it will help.
    My unut is P100, PSPA3U-04501T
    the screen is 1680x1050
    GPU is GEForce Go 7600, 256 mb

  • Satellite P100-240 CPU Replacement - which CPU Can I Install?

    Does anyone know what CPU can I install in my P100-240? Any core 2 duo?
    Please don't tell me about warranty.I know I will lose it.
    Many thanks.

    Hi
    The notebook was equipped with the Intel Core Duo (Yonah) CPU T2400 1.83GHz
    So I presume these CPUs could be compatible:
    Intel Core Duo
    T2300(1.66GHz)
    T2400(1.83GHz),
    T2500 (2GHz),
    T2600(2.16Gz) ,
    T2700(2.33Gz)
    Theoretically you could insert an T2700 (2.33Gz) but nobody can say if the notebook will run stable and properly after such upgrade. The stronger CPU produces more heat and the notebook could overheat after the upgrade. So its really not advisable to upgrade the CPU!!!
    .and you know that you will loose the warranty ;)

    Thank you for taking the time out to reply. I don't know whether or not your suggestions would have worked, but I did solve my problem. I eventually figured out that the file, overlay.xul, was doing something and when I changed the filename, the bar went away.
    I was reading that the xul error usually meant something wrong with an extension, but that didn't make sense because after uninstalling/reinstalling, there were no extensions present, on an assumption, of course. I noticed a file through a search, and it was located in a folder without a mozilla/firefox name in it, looked like a randomly generated folder name. I looked in the extensions. ini and noticed it pointed to that overlay.xul file in that random named folder and thought, what the hell, and just renamed the overlay.xul file to something else and the problem went away.
    Thanks again.

  • Satellite P100-240 randomly crashes during playing game

    I recently purchased the above laptop and couldn't be happier, bar one exception, whenever i try to play a game (this has happened with every single game i've tried) the machine shuts itself down after random amounts of time, be it 5 minutes or an hour.
    After reading the manual i initially thought it was an over heating problem, however after reducing all the settings to minimum i am still recieving the same problem. I have tried updating both the bios and the graphics card, but the problem still persists, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    You can try to go to event viewer as Start -> Run -> eventvwr.msc /s.
    Check System folder for error & its description. You can find that happens before system going to reboot. Hope this help You to identify problem.

  • Error message for liveupdate engine COM module - Satellite P100

    I have a Satellite P100 using Windows Vista home premium, and upgraded cable internet plans with Optus over the weekend to the Fusion89 plan.
    Since then internet has been slow to open (up to 25 seconds when I click on a new tab), and attachments are slow to open from E-mails.
    I also keep receiving an error message from Microsoft Windows stating "liveupdate engine COM module stopped working and was closed. A problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available".
    I have contacted Microsoft who said they would help me for a fee, but as I have the laptop under an extended warranty, they suggested I contact the people I bought it from or Tochiba. Before I contact Clive Peters soes anyone have any comments or suggestions regarding my issues?
    Any assistance will be much appreciated.

    Try this:
    Go to a Command Prompt and run "CHKDSK C: /F"
    Run WindowsUpdate / update Internet Explorer
    Try disabling your Antivirus software or Firewall software.
    If you installed Optus/connection software, update the software.
    Ensure the ISP (optus) proxy settings are correct in IE and the email software.

    Hi
    I goggled a little bit in the net for some help and I was surprised that many Windows users have had the same problem
    So I thought there must be generally something wrong with the windows operating system.
    I have investigated a little bit in the MS knowledge base and found this:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916089/en-us
    According to the MS info this problem may occur when you have Microsoft Office installed and the Windows Update Agent tries to scan for Windows Installer updates.

  • Satellite P100: Fatal Execution Engine Error code Ox7927e03e

    The above error message (code Ox7927e03e) appears every time I restart my Satellite P100.
    Various suggestions on the Microsoft XP website to update/repair Net.Framework don't work.
    Any ideas? The computer works normally except for Media Centre which generates the same message.

    You could firstly use the Windows own system restore tool. This tool will turn back the OS to the early point. If it does not work you could use the Toshiba recovery CD. On this CD everything was preinstalled and this installation will set the notebook back to the factory settings
