Satellite U400-15E - Upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit now NO sound through HDMI

I upgraded from vista to windows 7 32-bit, now i have no HDMI device shown under playback devices, i have installed new windows 7 drivers but still no luck. Under device manager/sound a HDMI device is shown as enabled and when connected to an external TV video is shown but no HDMI sound. please can someone help......

I have found out the solution to get HDMI sound to the TV
1. Right click volume icon on taskbar
2. Select playback devices
3. Right Click on SPDIF Interface and select Default Communications Device.
4. Connect HDMI from TV to Laptop
5. HDMI Device should be selected automatically.
When HDMI is disconnected the HDMI device is shown as disabled in playback devices whereas previously this device wasn''t shown at all.

Satellite U400-15E - Can't boot from new USB HDD

Hello.
Recently a bought an external WD My Book with 3TeraByte to use with my Satellite U400-15E. I can use it inside Windows 7 Ultimate with no problem. But if I try to boot from it (by pressing F12 key), the BIOS doesn't even see the drive.
Is this because Toshiba doesn't use Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)? UEFI BIOS can overcome the 2.19TB limitation in todays computers easily, like the following Western Digital document explains:
[http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/Flyer/ENG/2579-771501.pdf]
This would allow me to use my new external drive to store a Ghost image of my Toshiba's internal HDD for instance. I mean 3TB and even greater capacities are a reality today. When will Toshiba update their BIOSes to support UEFI?
Equipment used:
Toshiba Satellite U400-15E (BIOS v5.00 26-10-2010)
Western Digital My Book Essential 3TeraByte - Firmware v1.014 (USB 3.0 interface)
MS Windows 7 Ultimate - 32bit version
Thank you

Hello
Well... with this same computer, I already tried booting (successfully) from the following pendrive capacities:
8GB
16GB
32GB
All without problem.
And besides, before having the 3TeraByte WD, I had a 1TeraByte Iomega USB HDD from which I could store Ghost images, because the BIOS would show the 1TB Iomega drive after pressing F12 and Symantec Ghost could also detect the drive without problems.
But with this new 3TeraByte WD... the BIOS doesn't even show the drive after pressing F12.
So when you say +{color:#0000ff}So USB HDDs are not supported{color}+ are you refering booting from USB HDD?
Hum... I'm not sure about that.
I never tried booting an OS from the Iomega.
But that was never my purpose either.
My purpose is for the BIOS (and hopefully Symantec Ghost) to detect the WD USB drive, like it happened before with the 1TeraByte Iomega.
I was using a 1TeraByte Iomega "Select Series" drive.
With the Iomega I could create Ghost images of my Toshiba without a problem.
+{color:#0000ff}But you’re absolutely right: 3TB and greater capacities are reality today but Satellite U400 is older notebook model and not newest one.{color}+
A Laptop computer that has Two 64bit CPU cores and 8GB RAM capacity is not that old!
I think it could be a BIOS limitation, since it's not using UEFI.
Any more ideas?
Thank you.

Satellite A300D-15B - Upgrade from Windows 7 32bit to 64bit?

I've added an extra 4GB of memory to my Satellite A300D-15B (PSAKCE). When I try to run the Windows 7 64bit upgrade it fails with a blue screen.
Is it possible to upgrade this model to 64 bit Windows 7?

Hi ronchennells,
Theoretically it should be possible to upgrade to Windows 7 64bit You can do/install everything what you want but the important point is drivers
On the official Toshiba website there are no Windows 7 64bit drivers but you can try the Vista 64bit drivers. Normally they are compatible
Generally speaking its not necessary to upgrade to 4GB RAM or more for using Windows 7 64bit. You can also use the 64bit version with 2GB only.
What happens if you start the upgrade with original memory module only?

Satellite U400 - Slow connection on Windows 7

Hi
I use Satellite U400.
And I can't install wireless driver I dont know why. I open the file and it just won't install but still I think I have the latest drivers for my wireless network,
but my serious question was: why I drop and limit bandwith with windows 7 but not with winXP?
I have 1Mbit/s but example I want to download firefox go to their website's and then it shows between 50 and 70Kb/s but sometimes it gets to my normal max high 120Kb/s, and I saw on google that alot of people have this issue.
And sometimes some website are not loading or I just got error because of so slow connection that websites just turn off :(, never happend before.
plz someone help - any suggestions plz?

> what kind of forum is this? no help for more then one 1 week , more then 10 days now ?
What are you expecting? This is a user to user forum if someone would like to help you then he will post in your thread.
In most cases such themes has been discussed a lot of time here maybe you should not wait only for someone but should use an advanced search option and could search and read in similar threads for possible solutions
Regarding your issue:
> i do have the latest updates and still nobody from you tried to help me to get a fix , why dont you guys belive it? when i said look at google.com and write windows 7 wireless probblem or slow down my wireless, this is a KNOWN issue with windows 7 .
Firsty you said that you are sure it's Win 7 issue
>i have asked around everywhere and they all say it is NOT windows 7 issue it must be the manufacter driver issue .
Now you are saying it;s notebook issue....
So what is your possition now????
How it could be a manufacturer issue if the speed is faster using WIn XP??? For me it make no sence...
However, I googled a little bit an found this:
Tweaking Windows 7 for Faster Online Connections
http://www.brighthub.com/computing/windows-platform/articles/58522.aspx
You can also try to speed up the IE 8
For that use the command: regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
This should be typed in RUN
Then reboot the notebook.

Drivers issue for Lenovo u400 after upgrading to Windows 8

I recently upgraded to windows 8 an after that facing driver issue for ATI Radeon graphic card and wifi, and also cypress trackpad software is not working. All the supported drivers provided by Lenovo for windows 8 are fake and none of them are working. I even tried to search for drivers for graphic card from AMD website but unable to find any suitable drivers.
And to my surprise when i called lenovo technical support for help, the representative told that no such upgradation is possible for older system, but in Lenovo wesite it is clearly mentioned that upgradion is possible and they are provinding windows 8 drivers for this model which does not works at all :-(
Kindly some one suggest some workaround for this issue.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had the same problems with the Cypress driver after upgrading to Windows. Based on I did I downloaded the Windows 8 driver for the Ideapad U300s and it works GREAT. There were no compatibility issues, shows up in Device Manager etc. It also has and icon on the task bar that responds to the F6 key for disabling. Best yet this driver has a Palm Rejection tab. I set it for heavy and no wild pointer movements so I find I now keep the trackpad enabled. NOTE: the file name of the driver I downloaded and installed is: Ogt102w8. Hope this helps you and can't figure out why Lenovo has a driver listed for the U400 that does not work while this driver works great.

Satellite A200-23P - Upgrade to Windows 7

Approximately 2 years ago I bought Toshiba notebook Satellite A200-23P with Windows Vista perinstalled. Now I want upgrade to Windows 7. I download Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, it wrote me that:
1) More info from TOSHIBA TOSHIBA has a website that might give you more information about getting Windows 7 running on your PC. Visit the TOSHIBA website
(i haven't found any information on your web-site regarding updates issues)
And information about TOSHIBA software like: Disc Creator, DVD Player, Config Freeetc... that they "don't have compatibility information about this version of the program"
I want to know is it safe upgrade to Windows 7? Do i need to make some preparations or smth like that? Or is it better to just stay on Vista ).
Thx.

In my opinion there should not be problem to use Win7 on this notebook model. As Jeka already wrote most Vista drivers can be used with Win7, if some Win7 drivers are missing.
Win7 runs well and pretty stabile so I think it would be good decision to use Win7 on your A200.
What do you want to do exactly: upgrade preinstalled Vista to Win7 or to install clean Win7?
In my opinion you should use Microsoft Win7 installation disc for clean Win7 installation.

Satellite P305-S8820 - Upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi All,
If I purchase Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack (3-User) (DVD-ROM), for my toshiba P305-S8820.
1. Will I be able to perform a clean install by reformatting the disk?
2. Is there a utility from Toshiba, that will go find all the drivers for Windows 7?
3. Which drivers by Toshiba are required to be installed for Windows 7 to be successful?
4. Is there a Bios update required for the machine to work on Windows 7?
Thanks.
Matt

Toshiba has a lot of useful info scattered across their sites. I suggest you read this [us.toshiba.com/windows7-upgrade/] about upgrade methods and follow the links off this [http://us.toshiba.com/windows7-upgrade/] to get specific information about required bios updates and the suitability of Toshiba Upgrade Assistant for Windows 7 software - +"The Toshiba Upgrade Assistant for Windows 7 is software that manages all of the details of the upgrade process from Windows Vista to Windows 7 on Toshiba laptops. The Toshiba Upgrade Assistant for Windows 7 automatically uninstalls driver and utility software that was preinstalled by Toshiba and needs to be removed from Windows Vista prior to upgrading to Windows 7, launches the Windows 7 installation Setup program, and then installs Toshiba software after the Windows 7 upgrade is completed. For more details, see 'Toshiba tools to simplify the Windows 7 installation process.'"+

HP-p6 upgraded to windows 8.1 - now all items in My documents disappeared leaving only Documents

My computer automatically upgraded to Windows 8.1 (I think) and it now looks different with the Window button on the bottom left instead of the button to take you back to the old desktop screen. However when I went to open a Word document I could not locate My documents / My Pictures etc but instead there is only Documents and Pictures under this PC. How do I locate all of my documents/images et cetera as they were saved under My Documents and not Documents.
Many thanks

Hello @Polly-T,
I understand that your HP p6 Desktop PC automatically upgraded to Windows 8.1 and your My Documents folder is now gone and you want to know how to access it. I am providing you with a Windows Support document: Where is the My Documents folder?, which addresses the very issue that you are describing.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

G500 laptop upgraded to windows 8.1 now have a message missing a driver

My G500 laptop just upgraded to Windows 8.1 and now my alert action center message tray says I am missing a driver?
I can’t find anything missing? I looked through all the devices 5 times but nothing is marked with a question mark or similar?
Any thoughts?

Hi deagonslair2013
What you describe has been happening since the preview, Because all devices on a network talk to each other the driver error may not be on your G500 but on another device on the network.
For instance: I own a G700 & G505, I connected a tablet to the G505 & it installed the device but could not find any drivers for that device, Since then my G700 has been showing a driver missing although all devices are working fine on the G700 in device manager.
If you have any other laptops or desktops on your network with device drivers missing disable those devices & re-run the hardware scan on your G500 & see if that is the cause.
Edit What version of Lenovo solution center do you have installed, It should be version 2.3.002.
If your version has a .18 in the string its out of date & you need to update to the above version.
Hope that helps!
And welcome to the forum.

Upgraded to WIndows 7 and now...

I have upgraded one of my PC's to windows 7. My problem is that songs that I have had album art for doesn't have it and when I search for it it can't find it. I click on get info and everything is grayed out I can't make artist or song changes and the TAB that says artwork is missing. How do I fix this? This has never happened to me before. Please anyone Thank you in advance!

I have FrameMakerV 9.0p237, Adobe Acrobat ProV9.4.4 and Adobe Distiller V9.4.2220. I installed FrameMaker again from a CD once I upgraded to Windows 7. I did not move my fonts to the same location on the new system vs. the old system. I would not think that doing this is necessary.
I opened a brand new file in FM and typed a couple of words, then tried to create a PDF of it by using File --> Save As PDF. I got the same error message. However, when I selected File --> Print, selected the PDF printer and checked Generate Acrobat Data, it worked. I always used to PDF files by selecting File --> Save As PDF. I'm not sure why that does not work anymore. However, since I can get a PDF file by selecting the PDF print option, that is the way I will do it from now on.
If anyone knows why the other option does not work, let me know. Thanks!

No sound through HDMI cable after upgrading to Lion

After upgrading to lion I can not get any sound through my hdmi cable connected to the TV. It did work before. There is no optional source to choose under "Sound" - only internal speakers. How can that be? Any suggestions what to do?

You arent the only one.
I guess that is a thunderbolt bug and needs to be fixed by apple.

I have a site with m4v files that played before the upgrade to 10.6.7, now just sound

I have a site with m4v files that played before the upgrade to 10.6.7, now when accessed the sound plays but no video. Is there a different file type I should create or is this a glitch w/this version? Played before & still plays-Mac b4UG-PC/Iphone/Ipad.
Page Link: http://www.myfarrah.com/My_Farrah_Actress.php
You can click the video link to play or...

Are you using Safari or Firefox? It runs as expected in Firefox, but in Safari I too get just the sound, and going to the m4v link causes the movie to download rather than play (it downloads fine and plays in Quicktime once downloaded). I checked some of my own m4v movies, and they were playing fine in Safari. For one embedded in a complex web page, see here:
http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/snowleo.html
The next m4v has its very own very simple page, with the movie called using an embed tag with various options set (you can see the details by going to View->View Source) and also plays:

There was a problem with a Safari plug-in misbehaving very early in Snow Leopard, but I no longer remember the details. But see this archived discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2158092?start=0&tstart=0
It was a rather complex problem, but I had thought one of the updates fixed it.

Satellite A665 -127 Upgrading to Windows 8

Hi!
I want, to upgrade my Toshiba Satellite A665-127 to Windows 8. Please tell me, are there any problems with drivers or front panel utility buttons like Volume up etc?

Hi
Did you check the Toshiba EU driver page for Win 8 driver availability?
I did I chosen the Satellite A665 series and did not find any Win 8 drivers.
So you will have to collect the drivers at your own hand!
This might be little bit annoying. But even if some drivers are not available for A665, you will be able to use Win 8

Satellite U400-15E takes 3min 12sec to boot up

Hey everyone,
As the title says, my Toshiba boots Windows Vista Home Premium in 3min 12 sec, compared to my brother's notebook 1min 42s and my old notebook (this one with XP) 40s.
Is there anything I can do to improve this boot?
Its really ennoying. Any update should I preform?

>isnt Tempro important? Why should i uninstall it?
For me its not important because it sends only a notification that a new driver or tool update has been published on the Toshiba page.
I dont update the drivers and tools if its not really necessary if follow always the advice like; never change a running system ;)
>if i remove it from startup, msconfig. will it decrease boot time or Im forced to uninstall Tempro?
Of course you can firstly try to disable it n msconfig
PS: I found something interesting
+Why does my Windows Vista start so slowly?+
