Satellite P100-324: Problems with Vista installation - cursor blinking

All greetings. Tried to put one of these days Windows Vista. But my attempts by failure have ended. After the first ???????????? there is a black screen and the blinking cursor. Thus any activity HDD and DVD it is not observed. BIOS recently updated up to v3.30. Help to put, already and I do not know what to think up.
For English I apologize, I from Russia:)

The disk "With" was formatted under NTFS then there was a pure installation from a loading disk through BIOS. At the start the computer starts to be loaded, and reaching a place where there should be a window of loading there is a black screen with the blinking cursor in the top left corner. Tried to wait for 10-15 mines, results has not brought.: (

    Please HELP me!
    I thank me for assistance :))

    Hi
    I think youve got an Intel Lan card and this Vista Lan driver could be installed automatically using the Vista update function.
    So it maybe you could establish the internet connection using the WLan and then you could run the Vista updates.
    Good luck buddy

  • Satellite P100-202: problems with screen again

    Hello everyone! I'm posting about a problem with my Toshiba P100-202's screen. I recently posted in the thread "Satellite P100-202: screen will freeze" and my current problem is actually quite similar to what is explained in the thread "Satellite P100-119: display doesn't work anymore". Here's my story, hoping that someone will be able to help me avoid having to send the computer to a technician:
    After my previous problem I decided to get my screen replaced. Everything seemed fine, apart from on occaisonal instances, especially when I was using the program "Internet Explorer", in which the screen would sort of restart, ie. everything went black for a few seconds (music etc. however would continue) and then (boom) everything would reappear, sometimes in ultra-zoom for a second or two. The computer (operating system=Windows 7) would report "problem with NVIDIA graphics driver", and then operations would continue normally. This happened several times, although not frequently, and I wasn't too worried about it. And then, a few days ago, I was using the newest release candidate of Internet Explorer 9, and the screen blacked out, and my music continued, and I thought "OK, no problem", and then a few seconds passed, and then the music stopped (and I was thinking "uh-oh"), and then... the blue screen of death.
    OK, no panic, restart, but of course there's no welcome note, no nothing, just a blank screen which with the backlights still working created an ominous greyish hue. And then suddenly the mouse appeared, followed by the entire display, so I unwisely dismissed the incident. Ten minutes later, same thing, and this time not even the blue screen of death as consolement, just the grey nothingness.
    A few days of rest, a quick dusting of the battery compartment, but no, even though I believe the operating system is working fine (caps lock light works and little hums and whirrs occur as usual), there is no question about the fact that the screen does not work.
    PS. Sorry if my post is too long and no, I do not have access to an external display!!
    While I'm at it, is anyone able to explain why a 25-minute lasting battery can take hours or even days to charge?

    Thanks for your super-fast reply, as***! Unfortunately I fell asleep just before you posted. Anyway, indeed I was not expecting a manual fix to be available, so I'll see if I can find the installation disk in my ocean of cd-roms, and if that doesn't work I'll call up on a mechanic, see what they say (nowadays the most common answer is "rien faire", however I have a half-friend in the job who might be able to elaborate further), and in the event, give up on this one and go and buy a brand new and - as they now all are - webcam equipped laptop or netbook as you call them (and preferably not a Toshiba, either, unless you can convince me that 1. The battery no longer lasts a mere third-of-an-hour after three years of usage and 2. The screens are built to last a good ten years). After all, I've always been unlucky with electronics. The problem is however, how will I get all my files moved, knowing that the best form of back-up I have is a long-lost USB key?
    PS. Keep me updated if you get any more information on a possible immediate cure!

  • Satellite P100-324: Need 64bit VISTA drivers

    Hi. I have problem with finding drivers for 64bit VISTA for my lap (P100-324). On Toshiba drivers page, there are mostly Vista 32bit drivers, but no 64bit...
    What drivers I found working:
    chipset - from intel page
    display - from laptop2go.com
    Especialy, I have problems with Connexant audio and card reader driver.
    Maybe you know what EXACTLY is inside this lap?
    Best regards,
    Jarek

    Hi
    The internet is a really a gossip factory. I found some statements that Toshiba plans to publish the Vista 64bit drivers. But thats all
    We will see in the future what drivers and what notebook series will be supported

  • Satellite P100-347 - problem with shutdown during gameplay

    i have a problem with my Satellite P100-347(pspa6e)
    After about 10 minutes playtime with games like battlefield 2, the SIMS2 and so on.. my pc shuts down...
    I suspected it was shutting down because of high gpu or cpu temp...
    i could feel that my notebook was hot, but after playing for a while its normal...
    so i installed HWmonitor to check my gpu,cpu and hdd temp...
    this is what i shows:
    THRM: 61.C - 141.F
    CPU: core0\1 - both 64.C - 147.F
    GPU: runs at stable 85 - 90.C
    this at normal use...not games....
    HDD: 39.C
    Something has to be wrong!! gpu temp has to be too high?!?
    i have tried a fresh OS install....
    thnx for all answers and help!

    Hello
    I agree with Akuma. The fact is that suddenly shutdowns are mostly caused by too high temperature and shutdown is actually reaction for ??hardware protection??.
    So what you should do is to clean up the cooling grill.
    There is just one problem: if this should be done properly the notebook must be disassembled. So the question is how you want to do this?
    At the moment, try to place your notebook on higher position, maybe on 4 books to make more distance between the notebook and the desk. I just hope the air circulation will be better and you will be able to play a little bit longer. Please test it and let us know what will happen.

  • Problems with Vista Installer CD

    I created a 5GB partition on my MacBook, and after I inserted the Vista installer CD in Bootcamp, I realized that the partition needed to be bigger. I should note that I created the partition in Disc Utility because it wouldn't work in Bootcamp. It is FAT formatted. In the Vista installer, I formatted it to Vista, but there was still an error message saying it was too small. The expand button wasn't avaliable for that partition. So now I have two questions, but I only need one of them answered to move forward.
    It seems I can either expand the partition in the Vista installer, or I can exit that and expand it in Disk Utility. First, how can I edit the partition without exiting Vista? If I can't do that, how do I exit Vista? Restarting while holding down Option or Apple hasn't worked.

    Which keys have you tried using? Sometimes I cannot get the "C" key to work when I'm booting so I always use the "Option" key at boot immediately after the BONG at boot. Have you tried the option key? If/when you're able to get back into OS X, then I would immediately go into System Preferences and make the Start Up disk the OS X disk. That way you shouldn't have this problem again.

  • Satellite P100-387: Problems with graphics mode swithing on new nVidia

    *Looking for help!*
    _I have recently installed nVidia drivers from toshiba site (84.00) and since than my system has severe problems with changing graphical modes when starting applications in pre-determined mode (such as 800x600)._
    This problem affects my son mostly, as all older games are trying to run in 'Full screen mode' that fails to initialise properly.
    Also I have noticed that in dxdiag the option about DirecrDraw settings shows that it is completely not supported by my graphic card acceleration.
    Any ideas on how to resolve the problem desperately needed.
    Relevant nformation:
    Graphic card - nVidia GeForce GO 7600 driver: 6.14.0010.8400
    System Memory - 3MB
    O/S - Win XP Professional 5.1 build 2600
    ?:|

    Have you installed the latest BIOS?
    You could try reverting back to the original driver, it should be in C:\TOSAPINS. Or just Rollback the driver in Device Manager. Or revert back to a previous System Restore Point.

  • Satellite P100-324 (PSPA6E) - Intel T7400 - Virtualization disabled

    Hi Toshiba support staff,
    I have a toshiba satellite p100-324 (pspa6e) with intel core2duo t7400 processor and my problem is hardware virtualization (VT aka VMX) doesn't works because of it's locked off by bios. Also there is no option in bios for enabling it. It's not make any sence that you have this technology but you can't use it.
    I'm a professional programer but i can't test my programs in virtual environment because of this smart bios. I have been waiting this from bios version 3.30. Now i'm using phoenix bios v4.70 but it's not done!
    I think it's toshiba's irresponsibility, and if toshiba is not releasing a new BIOS in order to support what the features they sold, it will be my last toshiba product purchase. Beacuse it's waste of money. You should have clearly said what features were disabled if you're not planning to fix this problem. If toshiba's policy will continue like this, the unhappy customer number will be grow.

    No, unfortunately you're wrong.
    The cpu supports the virtualization (vt extensions). You can also see this by executing cpuinfo command in linux (by checking vmx flag in output) or running intel proccessor id utility program on windows.
    BUT when i start ant guest operating system in virtual box with vt-x enabled, it shows me an error that telling it's turned off by bios and i have to enable it from bios. Also securable program is says my virtualization is locked off by bios. So i have vt support but i can't enable /use it.
    (you can think that this is the program's fault but i checked it with xen, kvm on linux, virtualbox1.5 to 3.0 version with both linux and windows hosts, so i'm pretty sure that vt is disabled by bios and there's not an option to enabling it.)
    thanks for your reply but i think the only way is a new bios with option for enabling vt.

  • Satellite P100-324: How to downgrade BIOS to version 2.40

    I have the Toshiba Satellite P100-324 with BIOS version 3.30. I need to downgrade BIOS to version 2.40 because it help with stuttering problem when playing games on Windows Vista. But the problem is the version 2.40 is unavailable at Toshiba Europe website (I'm from Russia). I have found this version (one mate gave it to me), but it is for P105 models (US version).
    The question is - can I use US version of BIOS 2.40 for my european P100? Is it compatible?

    Hi guys
    I found this very interesting discussion and I have to clarify something.
    You dont need to update the BIOS to another version to play the different games on the Vista OS.
    The games couldnt run properly due to the Vista OS.
    Several weeks ago Microsoft has published and hotfix which solves some problems with the Multi GPU support on Vista. It was useful for users which use the gamer computer with 2 GPUs
    http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B936710
    Now the Microsoft has published and patch which solves the problems with the virtual address space usage. This was a reason why some games crashed or didnt run smoothly.

  • Satellite P100-324 - Restart in games or Google Earth

    hallo
    I have a problem with my Satellite P100-324, lately when I operating a game or google earth or open some vedio stream from internet the computer restart by itself, sometimes it restarts once I double click on the game icon or the vedio link.
    i have windows XP home center (the original operating system). The computer works good with DVD or HD movies with no problem
    thank you for your help

    Hi Dr.Bilal,
    > Than I reinstalled the whole Windows with formating but it didnt solve the problem
    Did you use the Toshiba recovery disk for reinstalling Windows or a Microsoft disk?
    If you have used the Toshiba recovery disk that restores factory settings, I assume its a hardware malfunction. Maybe the graphic card or mainboard is faulty and needs replacing.
    An authorized service provider can check your notebook and repair it. The guys are really useful and its always interesting to talk with them a little bit ;)
    Good luck!

    My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
    ***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
    . Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
    2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
    3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
    Note:
    When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
    To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).
