Starting problems with my Satellite C660

I have a problem starting my C660. Yesterday the whole computer looked while I was using it, the screen turned black and I got a message about "Crash dump... something"... I didn't get the time to read it... I started the computer again and performed start recovery of windows.
But now when I start the computer I get a message that starts with licens information and then it's searches for Bot file... and sometimes it starts and sometimes it says " no operating system found"....
What to do? I have created a start recovery back-up on an extern harddrive... but no disk... From Toshiba recovery media... Is it possible for me to use that if everything goes wrong or do I need a DVD with recovery?
Please help me :) I'm writing my master thesis and don't have time for computer problems.

> . and sometimes it starts and sometimes it says " no operating system found"..
It looks a little bit like a HDD malfunctionif you are lucky man then only the system has been destroyed and new OS installation should fix this
> What to do? I have created a start recovery back-up on an extern harddrive... but no disk... From Toshiba recovery media... Is it possible for me to use that if everything goes wrong or do I need a DVD with recovery?
I assume such backup can be used only if the Windows OS is running but dont think that you will be able to use this in order to reinstall the whole system. I think you will need to use the Recover disk or a clean Microsoft Windows DVD.
The Toshiba recover disk can be ordered here and is not really expensive:

Many problems with my satellite

I have several problems with my Satellite L505D-LS5001. There is a red X by the speaker, no audio device installed. I ran the Realtek driver install program yesterday, my speakers worked, but after shutting down for the day, the red x was back.
I have lost the bulletin board and reel time icon on the toolbar, I downloaded them from the website, re-install them in the toolbar, but they disappear every time I power up the computer
My external HD is not being recognized by the computer, it works fine on my other computers.
I have a popup window on startup that says: there was a problem starting C:\users\name\AppData\Local\Temp\Systheme.dll
I pres the power button when the computer is sleeping and it does not power back up.
I can not do system restore back to the original configuration because my restore points were deleted.
I have run an anti virus program, to include my backup files, so I think that my computer is clean.

Jerry, Thanks for the reply.
Where did you find that one? The latest I found for 64-bit Windows 7 on your model is this.
   Intel Display Driver - tc70095000a.exe - Version: 8.15.10.2189 - Posted Date: 2010-09-21 - Release Date: 2010-09-06
If I click on your "Downloads here" and select Filter By Display the first entry is this:
Intel Display DriverPosted Date: 2012-11-08 | Version: 9.17.10.2843 | Size: 114.27M
I was having some problems with a new version of NIK Software (Photoshop plugin) which appears to be GPU related and wanted to be sure that I had the latest driver before trying other solutions. This is proving more difficult than expected.

After Recovery with CD Satellite C660-1FE keyboard does NOT work

Hello,
A month ago I purchased a Toshiba C660-1FE. After three weeks my HD broke down. I bought a new HD from Western Digital and replaced the broken HD. As I did not make an recovery image of my HD, I had to order the Product recovery discs off the Toshiba website (3 discs, of which disc 1 and 3 were the only one's required for installation).
Now, I have the problem that my laptop keyboard does not work. I am currently using a USB keyboard and mouse to replace my keyboard and touchpad of the laptop.
The laptop keyboard works fine in BIOS. Therefore, I hope it's just a driver problem.
I have:
tried finding and installing lots of drivers on from the toshiba website, no result.
tried changing settings in the bios (usb enable/disable).
tried to fix the problem by re-installing the entire computer again several times.
The keyboard seems to work until windows loads. When the system is starting up I can press caps lock and num lock and the green lights come on. This all stops working once the windows startup symbol appears.
Perhaps a second problem in the device manager: under the display-adapter, 2 subcategories have exclamation marks: it says Mobile Intel(R) 4 series express chipset family twice! I can't seems to fix these with any drivers I can find either. When I check the settings I have this message (google translate since it was in dutch):
+The digital signature for the drivers for this device is required, can not be verified. Possible after a recent hardware or software change a file that is installed incorrectly signed or damaged, or is malicious software installed from an unknown source. (Code 52)+
+You need to restart the computer to this device changes to take effect.+ (obviously I tried that too)
Can someone please give me some help? I am at the end of my wits.
Sincerely,
Daniel

Hi MisterX,
thank you for your response. I have tried these things and there is no such thing as PS2/keyboard in device manager. It's as if the Hardware is not even recognizable in windows. I am starting to doubt whether I got the right Backup CD.
I wrote the following e-mail to [email protected]:
+Dear Toshiba,+
+after receiving the recovery CD's for my toshiba c660-1FE, it turns out that the drivers for the keyboard and touchpad are not installed. I have tried many things to get around this but it seems to me that I have received the wrong product recovery CD's. The chipset drivers are not the right ones, the overall layout of this version of windows 7 is different from before and when looking for answers in the toshiba forum I have concluded that the recovery CD's could be the wrong ones.+
+My laptop: Satellite C660-1FE+
+serial: 5B378048K+
+Part-nr: PSC0LE 02M0TU26DU+
+Recovery CD's I received are CD's 1-3 with serial R14254DU+
+Would you be so kind to check whether these CD's should be 100% compatible with my laptop?+
+This would be greatly appreciated,+
+Daniel+
MisterX, do you know any other emails I can forward this too? Or anyone who could perhaps tell me if I got the right CD's? They are taking their time to respong to this...
Kind regards,
Daniel

Multiple Problems with Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop??

Hi,
We purchased the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop at Best Buy about a week ago. However, we seem to be having multiple problems with it, that I wouldn't have expected from a brand new Toshiba.
Problems:
Whenever I'm in Mozilla Firefox browser, it crashes 90% of the time. Firefox was always my favorite on our previous computer, and still is, I just can't use it because it continually crashes.
In Outlook, whenever I try to open a message or reply, or basically any general command, it pops up an error message that says, "Could not install the custom actions," and then does whatever I'd wanted it too. It's a pain, as we do a lot of email and calendar through Outlook.
In Outlook, when I tried to import our Contacts, it says that we do not have the appropriate permissions to access the files. We are the only user account on this computer. We don't do seperate ones for each family member; we just turn on the PC.
It seems to me like the internet crawls on this computer. Every time we try to play a video (e.g. ABC, CNN, Youtube), it won't buffer. It just stops and starts all throughout the video about every 3 seconds. HUGE nuisance. We watch a lot of videos.
Minor issue: In Firefox, before it has crashed that is, on my old computer I used to be able to type "cnet" without the quotes into the address bar, and it would take me to www.cnet.com. If it couldn't find the page, it would take me to my default search engine's page (Yahoo) with the search results. On this one, if I type anything into the address bar (like search terms/keywords) it bring up search results with a My Start Incredimail search engine. I want my Yahoo search engine, and I want it to find the page if it can.
I cannot seem to get the Aero Flick (I think) to work. That was one of the main things I was looking forward to, but I can't figure out how to do it.
It seems to me like the Windows Explorer freezes a lot.
There have been multiple times when I'm typing that the keys don't work. Like I would have to press the A key about 10 times to get it to show up on the screen once. It's hit and miss and doesn't do it all of the time.
This isn't a problem - just a question. Is it best to leave the computer plugged in all of the time if it's stationary? Or once it's fully charged, should I unplug it and let the power run down, and then re-charge it?
**CLARIFICATION: It's not Outlook Express, it's Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. The one that you have to pay for. Surely it works with 7, considering it's Microsoft?!?!
If you can help me answer any of these problems/questions, I would really appreciate it.
Have a safe and Merry Christmas!

Yes, everything was fine with Firefox. However, I have uninstalled it, and am just using Internet Explorer for now.
Thanks for battery info...
I'm well within the return window, but overall really like the laptop. I've put a lot of time into it, and just want it to work right if possible.
Thanks for the info.
ScottinFla wrote:Concerning Firefox, have you checked your add-on list for any faulty plug-ins or extensions? Try disabling them and see what happens. Also, that search engine you mentioned may have somehow been installed on your machine. Have you checked the "Manage search engines..." window available from the search bar? Check your add-ons as well. You could always reinstall Firefox from scratch.
As for the battery, it may not be best to continually run down the battery - followed by a long charge. Once a month or so should be fine. Otherwise, just try to give the battery some exercise every now and then.
Are you still within the return window? Your unit may have a bad install, some bad RAM, or...
I have the same model and it works just fine.

Possible CMOS Battery problem with my Satellite 1405-s151

I have a satellite 1405-s151. Since July it won't start. when i turn it on the green lignts is on but nothing else happens. however it sometimes starts with a bad checksum (ROM) or Cmos error.
someone told me that it could be a dead the cmos battery.
what u think about this ? i live in senegal and there is no toshiba center

Hi
I don't think this is a problem with the CMOS-battery. If it is defective or has a low voltage, the machine will give this error message, BUT it will never have a problem booting up because of it. A defective battery will make the system lose track of time and date and possibly some settings You might have made in the SETUP but when the unit starts and gives the error message (You have to press F1-key to continue) the default settings will be set and they are good enough to make the system boot. I suggest You remove any hardware You might have added to the unit (memory, PC Cards and so on) and try again. If it still fails then I think Your machine is defective and need service.
best regards
Tom

Can I use backlit keyboard with my Satellite C660-2D7?

Hi all,
wondering if there is such a thing as a backlit keyboard that can be fitted to the Satellite C660-2D7 , the old one is very easy to remove.

Hi
Check this thread buddy:

and this one:

one of the users has upgraded the own A660 with an backlight keyboard.
But of course, this is possible only if an right connector is available.

Starting problems with 8i and OAS

I recently downgraded back to winnt4 because I had problems with 8i/oas. These weren't big problems but made development work more difficult ( the server needed to be restarted quite often and other little problems ).
Unfortunately I had to find out that on winnt nothing works. When booting up the system the starting of the db takes about 5 minutes. To find out what was going out I checked the memory usage of ORACLE.EXE in the task mgr. At first ORACLE.EXE occupies about 9 MB then nothing happens at all (CPU usage near 0%) and after 2.5 mins the whole thing carries on to start the db. This is very strange as on the same machine with win2000 the db was loaded and initialized very quickly.
Oas can be started from the OAS mgr page but none of the applikations that was working with work, nor do the sample ones from the docs. I always just get internal server error when I try to call them.
I'am desperate for some help as I don't have a clue what's going wrong!!!
Thanx Andre

I have similar problems as the original poster. OAS does not start on my Win2K box on start up, and IIS 5.0 as well after installing OAS and configured as one of its listeners. Once OAS is started using OAS Manager, a minute or so later wrksf.exe quits itself.
From this discussion group I was given the impression that OAS does not really like Win2K at all. Should they are incompatible with one another can I should using Oracle8i to develop web applications by itself?
I wonder what has gone wrong and would be grateful if you can shed me some light on this matter.

Starting Problems with After Effects

Hi, here is Marc from Germany!
Today I bought my 1 year membership for the creative cloud. Now I have some problems with starting After effects. First of all, after downloading the program reported Error U44M1P7. I ignored it and opened the program. After 5 minutes, it showed me the next problem: A plug in could not be opend After Effects CC\Support files\(Media Core plug ins)\Common\ImporterJEPG.prm. I klicked OK an saw the next error "The plug in Anywhere2.aex , MediaBrowse.aex , RQ Monitor.aex coulnd't be loaded, (39§ 23) is not supporting and finaly "After effects can't work" - end of my story.
I hope you can help me as soon as possible!
Thank you!

Ohne vernünftige Systeminformationen wird das nix. Entweder werden die Plugins blockiert oder die Hardware ist nicht kompatibel mit den entsprechenden hardwarebeschleunigten Funktionen für Videodekodierung und Anzeige. Ansonsten:
Installation failed. Error U44M1P7 | Updates
Auch gut möglich, dass das Ujpdate einfach in die hose gegangen ist und dadurch inkompatible Komponenten entstanden sind. einfach das Cleaner Tool drüber und neu installieren.

Starting problem with iPhoto - wrong file deleted

Hello, I have problem with starting my iPhoto... a few days ago I made a mistake when I accidentally deleted some file in system settings... I think it was ,,Framework,,
Now I cant start it and only descriptions of the error is appearing .. Can we fix it ? Or its possible to reinstall this app??
Thank you.

a few days ago I made a mistake when I accidentally deleted some file in system settings... I think it was ,,Framework,,
If you deleted a framework, we need to where.
If the error message says something like
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/...
or Expected in: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
Then you need to reinstall MacOS X to fix this. These dynamic libraries are installed by the system.
Reinstall by booting into the recovery , see this link for how to reinstall: OS X: About OS X Recovery
You do not need to wipe your system and reinstall the apps, if you reinstall the system. Just run the installer and install on top of your current system.

Boot Up Problem with a Satellite A75-S226

I have a Toshiba Satellite A75-S226, recently purchased
My problem is that whenever the lid to the computer is closed, it will not allow me to re-enter back into the OS. Thus, I have to turn the comptuer off and try to start up again. This is where the problem occurs, when I try to start, the fan will start briefly then shut off, the screen will remain blank and there will be no sound whatsoever, the power and batter lights are on and green and the circle around the power button is blue. I cannot open the CD drive or get any response from keyboard/mouse.
The same happens when i am on battery power. This problem occurs frequently and can occasionally be fixed by constant rebooting, however, at some times it will not work at all.
Help would be appreciated.

Hi ,
in my opinion there could be just 2 possible potentials.
At first check what Guiseppe91 said about installed software.
Secondly check if you have additional Hardware connected, like Keyboard, Mouse, any kind of PCMCIA Card or USB Components that didnt Support the Standby / Hibernation Mode.
Ii this points doesnt fit, I would save the personal Data and Recover the System with the delivered CD Rom ( or DVD ).
bye

Listener Start Problem with TDE (Transparent Data Encryption)

i am testing Transparent Data Encryption in Oracle 10g by using the following link
http://oracle-base.com/articles/10g/TransparentDataEncryption_10gR2.php
Before Implementing the TDE listener was running fine but after implementation of TDE the listener was unable to start
Please check the steps which i follow
Step1-
specify the ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION parameter in the sqlnet.ora file, now SQLNET.ora file looks like the following
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION=
(SOURCE=(METHOD=FILE)(METHOD_DATA=
(DIRECTORY=D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\wallet\)))
please check the contents of listener.ora file,i didn't make any configuration changes for listener before or after implementation of TDE
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = shakeel-pc.lhr.inov8.com.pk)(PORT = 1521))
Step2-
CONN sys/password AS SYSDBA
ALTER SYSTEM SET ENCRYPTION KEY AUTHENTICATED BY "myPassword";
TDE implemented successfuly implemented.

To start the listener i have to close wallet as
1- SQL>conn sys as sysdba
ALTER SYSTEM SET WALLET CLOSE;
2- Replace the SQLNET.ora file as previous ,now SQLNET.ora contains
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
Now if i start the listener then the listener was started succesfuly
Please suggest why listener is not being start with TDE?

I have the same problem. I'm testing TDE using Oracle 11gR1. After setting the parameter encryption_wallet_location and restart the listener, the listener failed to start. The error is exactly the same
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00583: Valid node checking: unable to parse configuration parameters
By removing the parameter encryption_wallet_location, the listner can be started successfully.
Anyone can help?

Problems like this don't cease to amaze me.
We are in the year of 2009 and this problem is most probably caused because jboss is started from a path which contains one or more space.
Try move your jboss installation or eclipse installation (i am not familiar how jboss in installed inside eclipse) to a folder with no spaces and the problem should go away.
It is sad that nice software like jboss has stupid bugs like this. Oh and it migh not be jboss but the JVM. It is silly in any case...

Starting problems with a new MacBook Air

I have just bought a new MacBook Air, and have followed the set up assistant all the way to the last page
The message "Thank you, your Mac is now ready to use",appeared and I clicked "Start using Mac"
The rainbow colloured cirkle just keeps on turning - but nothing happens. And it hasn't for 8 hours
In the process I have used an external USB mobile hard drive to transfer data from my old MacBook.
There was no indication of any problem using this in the setup process.
I have after 8 hours in desperation removed the mobile hard drive - with no result.
Please, can someone help me from what is becoming the the turning madness of 'the evil rainbow eye'?

Maybe another shutdown then start, will help: hold the on/off button untill it shuts off.
Do not connect anything.
When it will not start again, you shutdown and start while holding the three keys at the same time: the CMD key + Alt(=option) key + R key:
You need an internet connection, it will start in the internet recovery "disk" and then you choose Recover OSX.
It will take some time.
