Strange issue with SD Card reader on my Satellite A200-1A9 & A100-338

I have two Toshiba Laptops, one for work (A200-1A9) the other for home (A100-338), both have the same problem with reading SD cards from the internal reader.
Most of the time when I insert an SD card (varing sizes 256MB, 512MB, 2GB) the laptops request the driver disks. This is VERY frustrating as the Readers are standard build within these models. What makes this worse is the fact that every now and then, there is a card that can be read by both machines. If it reads on one, it reads on the other. Always the same cards never changes. Therefore, if the reader IS able to read SD cards without Drivers why is it that it demands Drivers for others. Drivers that are not provided, don't seem to exist and altermately mean that I just can't use those cards.
I just don't get why it is a problem.
There must be an answer out there, I hope that someone reading this Post knows it and is willing to share. Thanks!

I have the same problem but my husband has found a resolution for it.
When you plug in the card to the reader, windows states it has found new hardware, let it search for drivers, it will eventually come back and say it cant find the drivers and gives you the option to let windows find this or search manaually (advanced), click the manual advanced and the this opens a dialogue box with a browse and a path box with C:\toshiba\drivers. Enter C:\ in this box and then click next, this will cause the computer to search the whole of the hard drive and pick up the VISTA drivers which work a treat.
The dialogue box then tells you that it is installing the driver for this device. Experience has shown that you will have go through this three times as it installs other components along with it. However every time after that the card will plug and play as normal.
Hope this helps......phew!!!

  • PCMCIA Card Connectivity on a Satellite A200-1A9

    I recently picked a A200-1A9 from London and currently using it in India. And i realise that i cannot use my wireless PCMCIA card from the mobile operators for the internet connectivity.
    There is no option for the card to slide in.
    Am i missing something? Or is this a simple matter of not_ enough_search_before_buy scenario? Help.

    Thanks for the points :)
    Well, I presume you used your old wireless PCMCIA card to connect to the nearest available WLan.
    So why do you want to use the PCMCIA if this notebook supports an internal minPCI WLan card.
    There is an switch at the notebook side to activate the WLan antenna. Furthermore with FN+F8 key combination you should be able to enable the WLan card.
    Check it out.
    PS: The USB-to-PCMCIA adapter is not known to me :(

  • Strange issue with "Enter" key in Vista on Satellite P300-225

    A few weeks ago, I don't recall exactly when, Windows Vista on my Satellite P300-225 started to pass an incorrect scancode to applications when the Enter key is pressed. It always sends the scancode of the Keypad Enter key, even when I hit the one in the alphanumeric part of the keyboard. It did work correctly some time ago, but suddenly, it just started acting like this. No remapping of any keys.
    Since there are quite a few programs that act different on these two keys, this has become quite an annoying issue.
    The strangest part of it is, that the problem seems to be somehow related to Windows Vista, since the keys are correctly reported on Linux.
    If anybody has a clue, please, let me know.

    Yes, it almost certainly is a keymapping issue related to Vista. Reinstalling Vista isn't a way to go, it's not worth the effort (the recovery DVDs would comletely wipe out everything from my harddisk so I'd have to move all my data away and then restore, reinstall Linux et cetera). I'll give a try to uninstalling the keyboard in safe mode though.
    Anyway, it almost looks like some Windows update is responsible for this, since I have automatic updates enabled and it installs something everytime I boot it. I don't know about any program I installed before this happend that could possibly alter the mappings. (...and the registry key used for this is empty.)

  • Z68A-GD55(G3) BIOS Issue With Graphics Card

    I have been having a strange issue with the BIOS. When I use my graphics card it appears all glitched. (see below picture) When the graphics card is removed it appears fine using onboard graphics.
    Processor: Intel Core i7 2600k

    What screen connection are you using ? Can you try a normal d-Sub connection to start with ?
    Also suggest you do a CMOS clear after the connection.
    What did you use before this card and did you clean all old drivers before installing the new card ?>>Driver Sweeper<<

    Any idea???

    Hi Manoj,
    1. Try to put some filters in the report and then run the report. if it takes less time, then probably your query is fetching very    large data.
    2. MDX query error may be the reason , this error come when a query runs endless, please try running the query 2-3 times, or when load on server is less.
    Hope this will help,

  • Strange issue with RAM upgrade: It works but it doesn't! Please help.

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a very strange issue with my iMac since upgrading my RAM from 4 to 12 gig. When I first installed the new RAM it booted up and ran great. The next time I went to boot the iMac up it swtiched on but didn't get as far as the first white boot up screen. I tried turning it off and on a few times using the power on/off button but still no success. I decided to remove the RAM and reseat it. The computer then booted up again fine. Here's the problem though: when I went to switch my iMac on the next day it wouldn't boot up. Again, I took the RAM out and put it back in and the iMac booted up fine. I've checked the status of the RAM in the system profiler and it reports that everything is OK. So, I'm at a loss. Obviously, I don't want to go through this process every time I want to start up my Mac. Any ideas/solutions would be very gratefully received.
    Many thanks in advance.

    I completely agree with you. It will be one of the 3 issues you outline. The machine was bought brand new and has never given me a problem. It is just the introduction of the new RAM that has started a problem. However, I did just risk a restart and it booted up fine. I don't know if a restart is any different to shutting down and then pressing the on/off button to start the computer. Maybe my last reseating has done the trick or maybe my thinking is flawed because restarting involves a different process to booting up by pressing the on/off button. I don't know.
    In the part of the world I'm sitting in it's night time now so I will leave the diagnostics running and check the results in the morning. I hope the issue is now resolved anyway. This sort of thing takes me back to my dark PC days although in this case I know it's probably not the Mac's fault.
    Thanks again. Very much appreciated.

  • I am having strange issue with my apple tv...i set up pictures to scroll through to the tv using home sharing.  Now album covers are interspersed with my pictures.  I have been using apple tv for a while and never had this happen before

    I am having strange issue with my apple tv...i set up pictures to scroll through to the tv using home sharing.  Now album covers are interspersed with my pictures.  I have been using apple tv for a while and never had this happen before

    Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer?  If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens?  This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content.  Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
    - I have a stable internet connection
    Clearlly you don't
    >(Ive tested on other devices)
    Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
    >I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
    Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
    >- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
    Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.  It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though.  So that is good.
    Have you checked your wireless rounter?  Tried doing the factory restor on it?  Upgrading it's firmware?  Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens?

  • HT1918 How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none' :(

    How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none'

    I had this exact same problem with the new iPhone I bought on 1/4/13. The walk through they provide on how to do this is useless because it fails to explain that if you are already having the problem of not getting the "None" payment option with an Apple ID then you will need to create a completely new Apple ID.
    I had to do this 7 times since I bought my iPhone on Friday until this morning to figure out how to finally be able to use the Home Sharing option in iTunes to put my music collection on my brand new $500.00 iPhone. Pretty pathetic if you ask me but since it made me so angry I want to make sure other know how to do this so you don't get as upset as I did.
    #1 If your current or soon to be "old" Apple ID is not providing the option for "None" as a payment option then you need to make a brand new one. But you have to make it specifically how I tell you.
    #2 You will need to use an email address that has not already been used for anything related to a previous Apple ID. You might need to make a brand new email address.
    #3 Open iTunes, then open iTunes Store (upper right corner of iTunes).
    #4 Click on App Store (upper center of screen).
    #5 Scroll down the screen page until you see Top Free Apps on the right side.
    #6 Choose any one of the FREE apps.
    #7 You should either get the option to create a new Apple ID box, either that, or it will pop up with some kind of disclaimer and then it does the create new Apple ID.
    Either way just create a new Apple ID when it gives you the option to and then when you get to the page that looks like the payment page the "None" payment option will finally be available.
    Note: You will still have to fill out the information on the payment page. As long as you choose the "None" option it will not request any credit card information.
    #8 You will be sent a confirmation email to the new email account. Just follow through with what ever it tells you and viola now you can use your Apple Device.
    What a pain in the keester, eh?

  • Strange issue with an n86

    I'm encountering a very strange issue with an n86 lately.
    Sometimes when I boot it up it goes through the boot process fine (nokia logo, hands + tune).
    But ends up at a white screen.
    Strangly I can shutdown the phone normally, and even access the menu.
    It's like the only thing that doesn't load right is the standby screen.
    The only thing I installed lately is PhoneTorch.
    Restarting the phone a few times, makes it work right eventually.
    Firmware: V21 (thats the latest available for me)

    Could u uninstall the torch app to check if it is the cause of the issue? Lets try the easy one first! If a problem occure right after youve installed something on your device, or changed a setting, it's often wise to try to uninstall or undo what u have done to it. If this fails we have to look at other possible solutions.

  • Strange Issue With QIP 7100 STB and Sony Bravia TV

    I am having a strange issue with a 27" Sony Bravia Television connected to a Motorola QIP 7100 HD STB.When viewing a non HD channel the television input number display, resolution display, picture mode display and clock come on and off every few seconds. The issue stops when I tune in to an HD channel. If I return to a non HD channel the issue reappears. I am new to FIOS from Directv where I did not experience this. The television is connected to the STB via HDMI. Everything else seems fine except for picture stuttering that I am getting on all of televisions but I'll save that issue for a separate thread. I tried removing the TV remote to no avail and changing the batteries in both the FIOS and TV remote with no success either. This is a very annoying issue and I feel that it must be caused by the STB. I was wondering if anyone experienced anything similar to this and if they were able to correct the issue. I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Thank you and Happy New Year.   

    It is possible that your Sony doesn't support the mode the STB is set to for SD (some HDMI TV inputs don't support all formats that the STB can output).
    Have you tried going to the STB settings menu and under Video Settings played with the various options for 4:3 override?  This setting controls the STB output for SD and lets you set 480i, 480p, and OFF (also STRETCH at least on some firmware version).  In the OFF setting the STB upconverts your SD to whatever the HD resolution is set for - 1080i or 720p.
    Hope that solves your issue.

  • Strange issue with USB mouse and USB headset.

    Good day everyone.
    I was experiencing a rather strange issue with my mouse and headset(both USB).
    I am using KDE and ALSA, if that matters.
    They are working just fine, but sometimes, when I try to lower\raise volume, my mouse derps out. I can move it around, but I can't click on anything(sometimes though, I can click on stuff in window that was active before and sometimes only on KDE panel) until I re-plug my headset. Then, nothing can use my headset until I reboot.
    Anybody ever had that problem?

    I've had similar problems for some time now. Unfortunately, I don't know what the issue is either, but perhaps we can come up with some setup similarities and narrow it down. I have similar trouble with just alsa or with pulseaudio, so that's not it. It is unrelated to the DE, as it happened for me in both gnome 2 and xfce 4. It is not related to the machine either, as the same quirks occur in other machines with the same headset. I have had inconclusive results with downgrading to kernel26-lts, the ancient kernel. I thought at some point it messed up and I was sure the older kernel didnt help, but after trying recently-ish, I had no trouble for days -- until I found that I didn't have trouble on the main kernel either. ... then a few days later, it showed up again. Very irritating!
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=122475
    Does my old thread sound like your issue somewhat?
    Essentially, at times, if the headset (wireless) is changed into a different power state (unplugged/plugged) or the mic state is toggled (mute/unmute), things that could be clicked on normally cant unless theyre in the window already focused -- mostly.
    What headset are you using? 32 or 64 bit arch? Have you tried downgrading to kernel26-lts?

  • CVC creation - Strange issue with Master data table of 9AMATNR

    Hi Experts,
    We have encountered a strange issue with Master data table (/BI0/9APMATNR) of info object 9AMATNR.
    We have a BADI implemented for checking the valid Characteristic before creation of the CVC using transaction /SAPAPO/MC62. This BADI puts a select on master data tab of material /BI0/9APMATNR and returns no value. But the material actually exists in the table (checked through SE16).
    Now we go inside the info object 9AMATNR and go to the Master data Tab. There we go inside the master table
    /BI0/9APMATNR and activate that. After activating the table it is read by the select statement inside BADI (Strange) and allows the CVC to be created.
    Ideally it should not allow us to activate the SAP standard table /BI0/9APMATNR. I observed that in technical settings of this table it has single record buffering as switched on. (But as per my knowledge buffer gets refreshed every 2 to 4 mins and not in 2 days or something).
    Your expert comment is valuable to us. Thanks.
    Best Regards,
    Chandan Dubey

    Hi Chandan,
                 Try to use a WAIT statment with 5 seconds before your select statment.
    I'm not sure whether this will work. Anyway check it and let me know the result.
    Regards,
    Siva.

  • A strange issue with importing avi video

    I have a rather strange issue with importing avi files (which playback normally in other programs) into CS4. When I import an avi recorded from my camera into CS 4 in the preview the sound is played back normally, but the video itself is weird. Pretty much roughly first 5% of it are stretched over the whole spand and slowed down to fit. So the video of 4 minutes will play sound normally for 4 minutes, but replay only 10 seconds of video VERY slowly. I'm a bit puzzled because I've used the same camera with CS3 and never encountered this problem. breaking apart and speeding up the video obviously didn't work because the video only displays the first 5 recorded seconds no matter the speed, tweaking with presets didn't work either.

  • Having issues with your Card Readers in Windows 7 not working? Here's resolution!

    You do not need drivers for the card reader. There are NO Windows 7 drivers.
    (1.) Click on the Start button and then choose Control Panel.
    (2.) Click on the Administrative Tools a window will open.
    (3.) In the Administrative Tools window, double-click on the Computer Management
    (4.)  When Computer Management opens, click on Disk Management on the left side of the window, located under Storage. 
    (5.) This is where you will see Drives listed. The Card Reader will be listed as 1-4. Just right click & assign Drive Letter.
    Right click on each of the drives 1-4 and assign a Drive Letter. Now place your SD card in the correct slot and an a pop up for auto play will show. Now you reader works and will also show when you open COMPUTER it will show them as removable drives with proper drive letters. It took me several days to figure out after no help from HP or internet search. So when found the drives listed I just right clicked saw assign drive and it worked. Hope a lot of people searching on internet find this reply so that it will help them get there card reader working again under Windows 7 because even there tech's don't have an answer. Well good luck because this will work!!!
