Cursor is not responding

Hi dude
Did you check if the touchpad is disabled probably?
You can enable and disable the touchpad pressing FN + F9.
Furthermore it would be interesting to know if you can use USB mouse properly.
So more info are required

Satellite Pro U300 shows "Unmountable_Boot_Volume" message

I hope someone will be able to help me...
I have a Satellite Pro U300 and recently it comes up with a stop error screen with the message Unmountable_Boot_Volume.
On booting the machine I am told that windows did not start properlly because of a HW or SW problem. I am given the options to start windows normally, return to last known good configuration or open in safemode, however all of these lead to the error message Unmountable_Boot_Volume.
I am instructed to make sure any new HW or SW is properly installed and disable them if necessary. However, I have not installed anything recently and the computer was working fine.
The error message only appears for 4 seconds then the computer restarts and appears with the same startup message and continues in this circle restarting after each stop error message.
I am not a computer whizz as you can probably tell but I'd greatly appreciate it if somebody knows what has happened to my computer!

Sometimes the file system can get corrupted due to power failures or viruses or bad RAM.
First you should check the HDD for bad sectors. Run the Advanced test in DFT (its a bootable CD or floppy):
http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT
Second, try fixing the file system by connecting the HDD to another PC using a USB 2.5" SATA HDD Adapter. Run CHKDSK on the HDD.
If that doesnt work, you could try repairing Windows by going into the Recovery Options in the Windows Boot Menu (Press F8 before Windows starts).

Trackpad is paired but cursor does not respond

OS 10.7.5 on 2009 Mac Pro. My new trackpad shows 43% battery but the cursor does not respond. Also keeps losing pairing. Could this be a battery issue? Someone told me that regular AA batteries sometimes cause these problems and that I shoid use lithium rechargeables (which does not make sense to me). This must be either the batteries or a defective unit. Comments appreciated.

Here are a few notes I have put together about batteries.   If something helps you, fine, let us know.   If not, post back with anything you can add about your problem.
Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are more likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems. Apple’s own brand, Eneloop and Energiser appear to be the best.
Rechargeable batteries for a standard Magic mouse are unlikely to exceed eighteen days before requiring a recharge.    Apple may say more in their sales blurb but this is a realistic expectation.   The benefit (if you are organised) is that you will always have charged batteries available.     Regular batteries will give you between 25 and 35 days before they need to be replaced.
Never mix old and new batteries or rechargeable and regular.
Both the above are based on my personal experience, not shutting down my machine and using it for around four hours per day.   Note.   Monitors do not always faithfully report battery strength, particularly with rechargeable ones.
When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries ...
Turn off the device.
Remove the batteries,
Clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and on the batteries themselves.
Replace or renew both batteries.
Turn on the device.   You should get a blinking green light if the device is paired.
Click the mouse to activate it. The green light becomes steady.

Satellite Pro U300 very slow at opening programmes

Dear all,
I bought a Satellite Pro U300 in Feb 2008 and I have only used it 3-4 times since then... It is very slow at opening programmes (I have only a statistical programme installed) and webpages , and creates problems when I try to download other programmes that have a different version than Windows Vista.
I really have regretted buying this laptop and I am looking for someone to sell it.
Before I do so, I was wondering whether I could uninstall Windows Vista and install Windows XP for example, or do something else that would make my laptop pleasant to use.
Anna

Hi
The preinstalled OS could run slowly because many different applications are running in the background.
My notebook was slow too until some background applications have been disabled.
You can disable it in MSCONFIG.
Type in RUN window msconfig and check the tab called startup.
There you can find the software which could slow down the OS.
Regarding the Win XP installation;
Yes, you can also install Win XP. Using the Win XP the notebook should be little bit faster because Win XP doesnt need many hardware resources.

Satellite U305-S7432 freezes and does not respond sometimes using Win XP

Hello.
I have a Satellite U305-S7432 notebook.
Originally it came with Vista but I reformatted with XP Pro. I have installed all updates up to service pack 3.
My problem is that sometimes when I try to restart the computer it simply freezes and does not respond at all to any input. I notice that this happens if I close and later open the lid (meaning that the computer goes input standby mode and comes back).
Please note that the standby mode works perfectly fine and the computer leaves standby fine but afterwards when I try to restart, the computer will simply hang instead of restarting.
If it never enters standby mode, the restart takes place as expected.
I have installed all drivers and there are no question marks in Device Manager. I updated to the latest chipset driver from Intel (for the mobile 965) as well. Lastly, I also tried adding /forceresetreg to my boot.ini (as suggested by: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822624) but to no avail.
Any ideas?

This is a Toshiba US notebook series and you should check the Toshiba US driver page for available drivers:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
If you will not find the XP drivers at this page then you could try to install some single drivers for Sat U300 from the Toshiba European page but Im not quite sure if such XP drivers will run on you Sat U305. But its worth a try!
Good luck

Satellite Pro 4600 Wireless card does not work with WIN2K ?

I have a Satellite Pro 4600 with UK dealer installed PA3070U-1MPC wireless card running with Windows 2000
The wireless client manager finds the network of my wireless router and reports the signal is excellent and I see all green bars swhowing.
However I can't mske a connection, in 'connections' the wireless one says 'network cable is disconnected'
the router works ok with other laptops in my house.
I have latest version of Win2K also have downloaded and installed latest versions of client manager and WLAN card driver for win2k from toshiba website.
The 'toshiba support in Turkey' told me 'I need a different driver for Win2K for my wireless card cause the win2K driver on the toshiba website is not for 'this' wireless card'. I have waited for this for 3 weeks now and have been unable to reach the elusive UK Level 3 support who supposedly have this driver. I have seen on the internet the same wireless card is has been sold as a 'made by toshiba' accessory and it says it is compatible with Wim2K
What do I do next please ? Does this run at all with Win2K , is there 'another driver' and so on ?
Thanks

hello
please be more scpecific - what do you mean by 'disconnect the LAN' - I have nothing conneced there anyway ? do you mean 'disable' the LAN even though there is nothing plugged in ? can you please post the exact sequence of this so I can try ir too.
In the meantime my laptop has been to Toshiba for them to sort out at their highest level UK support base. I was hoping my troubles would be over - but no, read below what happened. They are basically saying my win2k is not in order but I had just installed and updated it so right now I haven't a clue what to do next.
START QUOTE of Toshiba Support response:
Sat Pro 4600
Serial No: 31474181G
Windows 2000 SP4 (customers build not recovery CD)
BIOS V1.80 not current therefore updated to V2.60
The notebooks wireless card is functional and has the correct driver installed, it also has the correct and latest version of the Wireless Client Manager. The wireless function appears to see the router but will not connect and obtain an IP address. Irrespective of the settings applied within Internet Explorer or the Wireless client manager you cannot obtain a connection. The customer did not have any Toshiba utilities installed such as, Power Saver, Common Modules, Chipset drivers, network device switch, I therefore installed these missing components and updated the BIOS to the most current revision. However despite this the unit will still not connect to the wireless.
I therefore removed the customers HDD and replaced his HDD with a Toshiba loan HDD with a fresh build that I had created. When using the machine with this build the wireless connected without issue and I was able to browse the internet etc. I placed the customers HDD into our machine and the problem with the wireless was replicated on our machine here, therefore the problem is not with the wireless card or any hardware aspect of the machine, the problem lies with the customer's build of Win 2000. I examined for anything obvious but could not find anything, therefore I'm sending this machine back to customer with the advice that his build needs addressing or he needs to reload Win 2000 his machine.
As you can see from the above comments, the machine performs as per specification with loan HDD and fresh build of Win 2000 installed, the problem is only present with you HDD and build in the machine. In addition to this I have replaced the missing screws on the base of the machine ensuring the machine is structure is maintained.

Satellite Pro A200 - Fn keys does not work with Windows Vista

Hello,
I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site ([http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT]).
BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32 contained in this file: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080404121735.zip]
After the successful installation of the operating system, I installed the "Value Added Package" ([http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-20080109135106.zip]) which contains the "Flash Cards Utility". In my understanding, the installation of the "Value Added Package" should enable the Fn keys usage.
This doesn't seem to be true or not completely true.
Here is what happens.
- Before the installation of the "Value Added Package" all the Fn keys didn't work.
- After the installation of the "Value Added Package", if the TCrdMain.exe process is running, all the Fn keys don't work.
- If I remove the TCrdMain.exe from the startup and I reboot the PC, only some Fn keys work (Fn+ESC, Fn+F1).
There is no way (or I didn't find a way) to make all the Fn keys working.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thanx in advance,
mme000

I do not know for sure but it can be because of SP1. I have installed Vista Ultimate on A200 and all listed stuff (drivers, tools and utilities) from Toshiba support page.
Does your installations Vista DVD contains SP1 or you have installed it on your own? If you install Vista Ultimate (without SP1) and all stuff from Toshiba support site following Installations Instructions order.

Officejet Pro 8600 touch screen will not respond

Hi,
I have the HP Officejet Pro 8600 and the touch pad will not turn on. The power is on! I actualy cannot turn it off by pressing the off button, even when I unplug it and plug it back in it is like it was never unplugged. This all started when I updated my MAC to the new operating system and then I noticed where the paper comes out there were blue blinking lights. I pressed the off button and the lights stopped, but now nothing will respond. This is a wireless printer. Please advise what to do.
Thank you,
Tanya (Personal information removed)

Hello Tanyaward,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the touch pad not responding or lighting up.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Once the printer is connected to a wall outlet, please attempt to use the power button to turn the unit off and then back on again. This will do a semi reset on the unit.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

Re: Satellite Pro A300 - DVD drawer does not open most of the time

I have a Satellite Pro A300-1NH laptop. The DVD drawer does not open most of the time. Occasionally it does, but most of the time it does not.
Sometimes if I manage to get a DVD/CD into the drawer to burn something to, the burn works.
Most of the time the computer does not recognise that there is a disc there, and then I can't open the drawer again to get it out.
Can anyone tell a novice what I need to do to sort this out please?

Have you noticed this when you try to open drawer using eject button in the drawer itself?
Almost every player has integrated eject button. Can the drawer be opened using this eject button?

Satellite Pro A10 - No wireless adapter not shown in device manager

Can you Help - Toshiba Satellite Pro A10
Model No PSA15E-01PFQ-EN
Serial No Y3602494G
Windows XP Pro
On the front of this laptop is a switch for wireless - this switch is set to On, Windows XP Pro cannot find any wireless device - Windows Device Manager does not show any wireless adater. Can you advice please - do I need to install Driver - Does this laptop support a wireless conection?
Many Thanks
Owen

Hi
Usually if you have a wireless switch your notebook should have a wireless LAN card too. In your case I would try installing the driver. Then the WLAn card should be displayed in device manager properly:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
If this doesnt work you can try a BIOS update.
Are you running factory settings or have you installed your own Windows version?

Re: Satellite Pro 40 Synaptic Pointing device not working properly

Good morning, I have a brand-new Satellite Pro L40 and the Synaptic mousepad has stopped operating.
When I go to COntrol Panel > Mouse I get a message teling me that the system is "Unable to connect to the Synaptic Pointing Device Driver.
I haven't installed another mouse, so I have declined uninstalling the driver, another dialogue box informs me that the "Windows (Vista) host process Rundll32 has stoped working", advising me that " a problem caused the oprogram working corectly" and that "Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available", the only option is then to Close Program.
Although the mouse works, on the whole, I have lost the advanced scrolling and tapping features oft he mousepad, a bit disappointing in a Laptop lesst han a month old.
Any suggestions? The Laptop did nto come with a Vista installation CD, should I have one? Can I re-install the driver? Is it available on the Toshiba website? What and where should I look?
Many thanks to all and any who might be able to help.
Toni M.

OK, so it's probably not usual to answer oneself, and it may well be a sign of madness, but I have found a solution and wanted to share it, as well as prevent anyone wasting precious time replying.
As I typed the question the old adage "the answer to a question may lie within the question itself" drifted into my small brain.
It occurred to me that, as the Windows error messages pointed to a Driver problem, the simplest solution might be to search for one and and re-install it; so I found the Downloads > Vista Drivers > Synaptic Pointing Device driver, downladed and installed it, and Hey Presto! Back to scrolling and tapping-up for England!
Goes to show the wisdom of the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, encapsulated in the legend on its cover:
DON'T PANIC! :^0
Thanks a million if you took the time to look at this and, if you have a similar problem, take heart, the solution is right here!
TTFN!

Satellite Pro U400-15I - Sound Wheel not working after Windows 7 install

The sound wheel on my Satellite Pro U400-15l does nothing after the Windows 7 clean install from XP pro.
I used the recommended Software update tool downloaded from Toshiba. The VolumeIndicator.exe process is running and the sound works OK - just not under the control of the wheel! Also the Toshiba Power control is not there but this is not a problem.
Any suggestions welcome.
Bob Sheppard

Hi Syntax,
there is no option to add the volume control to the taskbar in the control panel.
The sound driver is 'Conexant High Definition Smart Audio 221'
Interestingly, when I click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select the mixer option I get 3 sliders called 'Device','Applications' and 'Sound Volume Indicator of Toshiba Control'. If I move this slider with my mouse I get the indicator I am looking for ( The Toshiba indicator I had under XP). However, this slider only works as a 'minimum' for the other sliders.
Thanks for your help but I still would like that volume indicator back!

Satellite A200-TH7 - Windows Explorer is not responding

On random occasions (normally when I wake up the PC), and I click the volume control in the taskbar, nothing will pop up.
Then I'll go to move the physical volume control slider and nothing will happen.
However, at that point, I'll try to click anywhere on the taskbar, but it freezes and it says "Windows Explorer is not responding" and I have to restart the program. Once doing this, the volume control does not even appear on the taskbar. And if I slide the physical volume slider, Explorer freezes once more.
I have Vista and its an Satellite A200-TH7.
I have the volume on mute so I literally can't listen to anything now.
If I restart the comp it'll work, but this problem occurs frequently.

Hi
Thats strange and I never heard about such an issue.
Does the Explorer freezes in other ways too?
Anyway, you should make sure that you have installed all Windows Updates and Service Packs.
Furthermore update the AntiVirus software and search for Viruses.
And follow the instructions posted by Jimi.
Thats all I can say at the moment.

Satellite Pro A300-1H2 - Windows does not recognise HDD

Hi,
i'm a newbie, this has probably bin asked before so if it has you'l have to excuse me, i have a satellite pro A300-1h2.
I got the blue screen unmountable boot volume, so have tried to fit a new samsung drive. I put in my windows disc it loads all the drivers then says there is no hard disc?
In bios it recognises it ???
Thanks if anyone can help

Hi
The problem is that your notebook supports the HDD SATA controller but the OS system does not contain the SATA drivers
You could set in BIOS the SATA mode to compatible.
This will allows you to install the OS without the installation of SATA drivers.

Satellite Pro L10-103 - USB ports not working

Hi, my Satellite Pro L10-103 USB Ports are not working. I've tried various things and lastly my advisor scrubbed my computer clean of all programmes and operating system. After reloading from the set up disk and having lost my some expensive programmes I am no further forward. Still not working.
Does anyone know if this means it is a mechanical problem with the computer? (I'm using Windows XP). Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Try please just to install chipset driver .
