Stuttering with Satellite MA605C (Canadian Edition) and Vista - Solution

Well, as many of you know running Vista for games is a pain on portables.
The big problem is the stuttering issue. We on the nVidia forums have found a solution to get rid of the stuttering, and that is to downgrade the BIOS to the 2.40 version from either 3.30 or the new 3.80 BIOS version.

Hi
Thanks for the information but the Satellite MA605C is not known to me.
I have also checked the Toshiba Australian support website and such notebook is not listed there

  • Adobe Reader 9.3 PDF's freeze/hang with IE 8 Browser and Vista:  Solution Provided

    I have been using Internet Explorer 8 well for some time but I am now having repeated difficulty with Adobe Reader 9.3 because PDF's continually freeze or hang up while I am in the browser -- forcing me to close the browser completely.
    Incidentally, Resetting IE 8 to its Default settings did not help to prevent the browser from still freezing while trying to read PDF's.
    The only way I solved this problem is to uninstall Adobe Reader 9.3 completely, Restart the computer, and then install Adobe Reader 8.2.0 .  Now, I have absolutely no difficulty with PDF's freezing or hanging up.  
    Adobe has simply to debug Reader 9.3 in order to make it more compatible with IE 8 and Vista.....

    What I would try if I were in your situation
    uninstall your current Adobe Reader;
    reboot Windows to make sure that all components are removed;
    download this installer http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi (save to disk);
    close all browser windows, then run the downloaded installer.
    If the problem reoccurs, and if no-one else in this forum has any better advice, then maybe you should try an alternate PDF reader such as Foxit Reader.  (But make sure that you don't install the bundled toolbar!)

  • WRT54G with firmware 1.01.1 and Vista

    Has anybody tried connecting wireless using Vista Home Premium with a WRT54G v5 using firmware 1.01.1?  I have tried to get this to go and can't ping the router.  I can get this to go using firmware 1.00.7 using someone elses unsecured network.  I have tried forcing in an IP address, default gatway, and DNS server into Windows Vista network set up  These settings work on the other network but not mine.  I have tried disabling the firewall in the router and the wireless security.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

    If I connect a cable to the router I can do surf the web or access the router ui.  I can ping the router.  If I try to use wireless, there is no connection to the router.  Resetting the router does not help.  Re booting the router is no help.  I can connect to another network (unsecured) and surf so I know the wireless is working.  I have even tried another router (not Linksys) and that is no help.
    I have upgraded now to firmware version 1.02.0 and still can't connect.

  • Help with WRT54G connection problems..and Vista

    Hello, I'm very new so if some of my questions have been asked before I apologize.  I have the WRT54G wireless router and have been having a difficult time getting a steady connection.  The wired computer's connection is perfect, but the machine was recently switched from XP to Vista.  Ever since the change, the internet (on the computers using wireless) fluctuates unceasingly.  (For example, when my boyfriend tries to play his online games the ping shoots from 30 up to 1000, disconnects and then goes back down about once every 10 minutes.)  Since it worked absolutely fine before the change, I figured I would try to update the firmware on the new machine, however I can't seem to get the download to work on Vista.  Every time the file downloads it says that Vista is unable to open or proceed with the download. 
    I've tried other things, as far as changing the channel, enabling the SSID broadcast, and changing the physical location of the router.  Is there something else that I may be missing other than updating the firmware? And how might I go about updating the firmware with Vista?
    Message Edited by emilyrose13 on 11-19-2007 06:39 PM

    first off , i don't think there should be any issues updating the router's firmware on a vista machine....
    the other things that you can try are :
    changing the MTU size to 1365 ,
    under the "advanced wireless settings" subtab, change the beacon interval - 50 , fragmentation and RTS threshold - 2304 ...

  • Failover Zones / Containers with Sun Cluster Geographic Edition and AVS

    Hi everyone,
    Is the following solution supported/certified by Oracle/Sun? I did find some docs saying it is but cannot find concrete technical information yet...
    * Two sites with a 2-node cluster in each site
    * 2x Failover containers/zones that are part of the two protection groups (1x group for SAP, other group for 3rd party application)
    * Sun Cluster 3.2 and Geographic Edition 3.2 with Availability Suite for SYNC/ASYNC replication over TCP/IP between the two sites
    The Zones and their application need to be able to failover between the two sites.
    Thanks!
    Wim Olivier

    Fritz,
    Obviously, my colleagues and I, in the Geo Cluster group build and test Geo clusters all the time :-)
    We have certainly built and tested Oracle (non-RAC) configurations on AVS. One issue you do have, unfortunately, is that of zones plus AVS (see my Blueprint for more details http://wikis.sun.com/display/BluePrints/Using+Solaris+Cluster+and+Sun+Cluster+Geographic+Edition). Consequently, you can't built the configuration you described. The alternative is to sacrifice zones for now and wait for the fixes to RG affinities (no idea on the schedule for this feature) or find another way to do this - probably hand crafted.
    If you follow the OHAC pages (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/) and look at the endorsed projects you'll see that there is a Script Based Plug-in on the way (for OHACGE) that I'm writing. So, if you are interested in playing with OHACGE source or the SCXGE binaries, you might see that appear at some point. Of course, these aren't supported solutions though.

  • I want to know if I can backup my Ipad to an external harddrive. I have a pc with xp pro media edition and a partitioned hard drive with very little space on C and lots on D. I am trying to update my Ipad to 5.1.1 and it says it needs 12  gb to backup.

I am  trying to update my Original Ipad from 4.3.4 to 5.1.1 and because C drive is full ( I have moved everything that can be moved to D drive) mostly from Microsoft updates over the years, I am unable to do  the backup Itunes is telling me I have to do to update or lose all media on this iPad. 12.67 gb is required to do the backup and I have a whopping 965.2 MB.  I can not get the cloud to use as backup as it requires 5.0 or better. Does anyone know if I can back up to D drive,  and if so how? Also, I have a 1 terrabyte WD mini external hard drive I just got as a gift...could I do the backup to it and, again, if so, how?

    If you don't need them at all, you can delete them. People usually store them in external drives if they need them.

  • ITunes 8 MP3 encoder produces different bitstreams under XP and Vista

    Hello!
    While organizing a new listening test for MP3 encoders at ~128 kbps VBR, I came across a significant problem in iTunes 8 and maybe older versions as well.
    I have a 30 seconds sample file of Fatboy Slim's "Kalifornia" from the album "You've Come a Long Way Baby". The sample (as FLAC - you have to decode it to PCM WAV yourself) can be downloaded from the Hydrogenaudio Forums: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=19682
    If you encode this sample to MP3 using 112 kbps, VBR, highest quality, joint stereo under Windows Vista, the resulting file will have an average of 122 kbps. The same file encoded with the same settings and the same iTunes version under Windows XP will have an average of 191 kbps. I was able to reproduce this on three different machines with "clean" XP SP 3 and Vista SP 1 installations ("clean" means only the hardware drivers and all Windows updates are installed, no third-party software). It would be nice if other people could try to reproduce this if possible. Another interesting thing would be to see what the Mac version of iTunes produces.

  • Sharing files between a Windows Vista Business edition and a Mac osx 10.6.6

    Is there reliable information somewhere about how to share files from a Windows Vista business edition pc to a Mac osx 10.6.6?  I have googled instructions and followed the steps and still could not have sharing to happen between the Vista pc and the Mac.  These are the steps I have performed, I have made sure that
    o Both the Vista pc and the Mac have the same user account/password.
    o The firewall from the Vista side allows file and printer sharing in the exceptions.
    o Enabled sharing with a few directories on the Vista pc.
    o Changed the security policy on the Vista pc to "LM and NTLM - use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated".
    o On the Mac System Preferences > Sharing selected File sharing.
    On the Windows Vista pc, if I click the Start menu and then Network, the Mac does not appear.  On the Mac, from the Finder menu if I click Go > Connect to server and request a connection to the IP address of that Vista pc, I get an error, "Connection Failed"  (could not find pc or not available at this time).
    What else do I need?

    That was a great tutorial / walk through.
    In fact, I would say that was far easier than the entrophy route (which is good) as you can see exactly what you are doing rather than relying on an installer which has often failed in the past for me, and then just suddenly worked for no apparent reason!
    Just two things to improve it for other users, and they are really VERY minor... From previous experience, I knew where to find the php.ini.default file, but you don't let people know where to find that, and the links to the MySQL downloads were broken. I guess that is because the file names have changed or because I am coming at it from a different country. I got a message stating: 'That file does not exist on our download mirrors.'
    Thanks for doing that, I really appreciate you (and the likes of David Powers) taking the time to set these tutorials up for others to use.

  • External Usb Audio Card Popping and Cracking sound with Satellite L500

    Greetings,
    My name is Boyan and I am from Bulgaria and about an year ago I've bought a satellite laptop from the l500 series ( i can not state which exactly is the model at the moment because my computer is not currently with me and on my user manual the only thing which is stated is that it is for L500/L505/ L500D / L505D . But by memory I think it was the Satellite L500D-ST5506 which is currently not at my dispossal because I gave it for repair for the same problem which I will state down below)
    The problem with my laptop is that when I plug a Usb Audio card in my laptop I have a cracking sound when live sound is played trough the speakers/headphones from the external card. I've tried numerous audio cards and speakers/headpohnes which work perfectly fine with other computer, including laptops but the same problem keeps on showing up in the headphones/speakers of my laptop when I am using an external audio card to connect them to the laptop.
    The problem is prominent only when the sound signal passes trough an external audio card and it is very annyoing since I use my laptop to create music and i've bought an expenssive audio card and speakers which can not be used with the laptop. I've tried 3 models of audio cards:
    M-Audio Fast Track Pro
    Behringer uca 222
    and a simple external 3d sound usb audio card and the problem still appears.
    At first I thought that the problem should be software and I should install new drivers although windows 7 automaticaly recognizes and intalls the drivers for the devices and I have sound in them (but with cracks and popps) so i tried using the official drivers sold to me with the audio cards but with no luck: The problem was still there. I tried finding new drivers of the audio cards on the official distributors websited and i've downloaded them but the problem was still there. Then i tried to delete every audio driver on my computer and just use the external audio card for sound but this dint help eighter. I've updated my drivers for my build-in audio card as well but again - no luck.
    After that.the frist thing I did when (2 weeks after i bought the laptop) was to contact the store from which i bought my audio card and they stated that the problem may be eighter latency or high voltage from the laptop so they adviced me to try to lower the latency from the settings or to try and see if the problem remains if my laptop is only running on battery. I've tried both things and they didn't help. The audio cards worked without a problem on every other computer I've tried them on except mine. So they said to me that the problem couldnt possibly be from the audio cards .
    What I did next was I gave my laptop to the official distributor of toshiba in my country so they can fix my problem. What they said to me was that the problem is caused from the version of windows which was pre-installed on my laptop and that it wasnt compitable with the audio cards (which was bizzar sounding because I've tried them on the same windows and they've worked, just on other computers). So I got back my laptop and changed my operating sistem from Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit to Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64bit to Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 32bit and on all of those versions the problem was there: whenever I activate a Usb Audio Card and audio signal passes trough it I heard cracks and popps. I even tried isntalling Windows XP but the laptop wants spesific SATA drivers for the installation of Windows XP which although i did find - they didnt help me install XP and I didn't want to go in to the BIOS of the computer to try to put a new one and so on because I am not so sure about that and I could lose my warranty so I said to the official repair store for Toshiba in my town to put XP on my computer to fix the problem but they can't because they are not liscened to operate with software which doesn't have a recipt for its purchase ( which i didnt because i bought my windows xp long ago and i've lost the recipt)
    I gave it for repair for the second time telling them that the change of my operating system did not solve my problem and what they did was they changed the whole motherboard on my computer, stating that the build in realtek audio device on my computer is not good enough to support an usb audio card or it maybe broken and they have to change the whole motherboard because the build in card is glued to it, so they did that but my problem wasn't solved. They told me that although I am using and external usb audio card the signal still passes trough my internal one and I have to disable it so i tried disabling it trough the control panel but this did not solve the problem and i do not have an option from BIOS to disable my build-in audio card. Another thing which I thought maybe causing the problem is that the two audio cards aren't working on the same bit rate and Hertz so I set both cards to 16 bit 48000hz DVD Quality (Also tried other options on the 3 cards i have) but...the same thing happend.
    They told me that this is just my luck and that the build in audio card doesn't support this external audio cards and I should had been more careful when choosing my laptop at first.
    I couldn't accept this awnser for several reasons:
    1) This audio cards work on lower version of windows and are supported by much older models of Realtek and much older computers (one of them was bought 2000!!!!! and my laptop is from 2010!!)
    2) The guys who were fixing the problem apperantley didn't go in so deep in to my problem because they didn't know what actually the problem was they just knew that there is a problem with the audio card and the computer interacting with eachother, they didnt know that there is cracking during live play from the external audio card.
    3) I can not accept the fact that Toshiba is manufacturing models with chipset audio cards which can not support a simple external Usb Audio Card. This is totally unacceptable for me and I truly hope this is not the case!
    4)They didn't try my audiocards on an other laptop from the same series stating that they do not have one at their dispossal at the moment so I will go tomorrow to a local store and try the audio cards by my self on the same computer in the store.
    What I did now was I gave back my laptop for repair asking for a statement of the problem in wrtting with all details of the problem so I can go to court or ask for a new laptop but I will be charged with some money because according to them there is no problem in the laptop and the problem is that my external audio cards arent compitable with the build in internal chipset audio card. If I give my laptop for repair and there is no hardware problem I will have to pay some money. I will do this but I am now mad, since this will not solve my problem and I am loosing time and money.
    What I am asking here is, if you can not help me solve my problem and advice me what to do to fix it, please provide me the details of the chipset build in audiocard on my motherboard, so i can investigate if it is compitable with my external audio cards and contact the audio card dealers to ask them for their opinion. Or if you can tell me with what it is compitable with and with what not, it would be great. I personally think that this laptop should have no problems at all with running a simple external usb audio card but I am asking you, if you know something more about that.
    If the problem is from the build in chipset then Toshiba is manufacturing (or at least selling) audiocards which aren't at a normal standart but sadly I cant do nothing about it except complain to Toshiba and never deal whith such productgs anymore. In the other case if this is not true, then my laptop has a problem which is different and I will have to go to court with the repair mans for not fixing my laptop or not giving a new one when I have warranty which will not be Toshiba's fault and It will in a way solve my problem.
    I hope you understand how Important this is for me and I hope I resolve the problem as soon as possible.
    P.S
    I would like to state that I am well aware of the grammar mistakes I have made in the text below and I would like to ask for your apologies as I am not a native English language speaker.

    hi i just like to say i had a similar fault though i would be surprised if it causing yours,but you never know,my fault was my laptop lid, [9 months old] it contains the mic ,and when the lid was in a certain angle crackles could be heard worse when i had my external sound card in, it was a faulty membrane [ lid to body] easily missed by engineer because it was the same angle all the time it happened,good luck, PS you English is very good

     What worked for his problem, might not work for yours, in this case it wouldn't have affected it at all. When you get stuck or need some
    research go to the upper left hand corner where the grey search box is. Type on keyword for your problem, I would put vista outlook 2007

    Follow those resolved threads and see how it relates to yours, and how it was resolved in the past.  Be sure to write your search results in  you thread other users can then see what you've tried and found and help you quicker
    As you get more experience you will get good use from the Support and Services grey tab at the top of the page.
    That's where the link I posted came from.  Please take my comments the way they were intended, as helpful advice, OK?

    Okay flesh things out a little, you installed desktop manager with full access rights as an administer on Vista,correct?
    The installation was error free?
    You setup the   your email and when you went to configure the synchronization options, you had what options, I know
    you didn't have Outlook.
    What steps did you try to resolve the problem? 
    Did you change any settings in Outlook, review the desktop setup in the manual?
    How far did you get on article I left you regarding MS Outlook tips?
    Ok let me know the detail for those questions,thanks,

    Going on, it explains and shows how to make sure all the registry entries, program files and remnants , along with file traces
    were made In Vista and are completely removed. A lot of desktop manager issues especially in the Vista OS can be traced to old

    Steve,
    I appreciate your answer.  While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
    With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
    Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change.  Yes, it might work.  The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
    Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro?  Any issues with anyone else?
    Thanks Steve.  I do appreciate your offering a solution.  I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.
