Hi
I think the TRDCReminder stays for Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator Reminder and it reminds you to create the own recovery disk.
The TRORDLauncher is related to the Toshiba recovery disk creator too.
However, both processes are developed by Toshiba and are needed or a part of for Toshiba Recovery disk creator.

Thanks for your replies.
I had called Toshiba UK and was told pretty much the same thing. They don't support 64bit and they didn't believe the 32bit drivers would work.
After a search on the internet, I came across a forum for tablet PC's, http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/ and found that although Toshiba europe doesn't support 64bit operating systems, Toshiba america does. www.toshiba.com. They also fully support all other Toshiba laptops and all windows operating systems in case anyone is needing drivers for Windows 7 or XP 64 bit.
I downloaded all of the drivers and applications from there and only had one or two conflicts afterwards with things not working. Most of these were sorted by going to manufactuers website. Webcam seems to be the only thing not working now but it might just need a full reinstallation of all the webcam driver/application software to fix...haven't quite had time to look at it yet.
I am surprised however that there isn't continuity with Toshiba offering the same driver/machine support across all the world regions. It's maybe something they'd look at sorting out in the future.
Anyways...off now to enjoy my new laptop.

Black Screen Problem on my Toshiba Portege M800-A330

I own a Toshiba Portege M800-A330 for more than a year now. Whenever I have problem on it, uhmm.. for example: virus, or corrupted operating system, all I do is to format my laptop or recover it using system recovery from the hard disk or using recovery disc which is inserted in the DVD drive. But, recently I'm having a problem with my laptop. My problem starts after I compressed the Drive C:, but I don't think that may cause the black screen problem that I'm encountering since then.
Here goes my problem: When turning on my laptop, the first thing I can see is the "TOSHIBA" logo and then after it fades it just gives me a black screen. I don't know why it's just black screen, perhaps its system has been corrupted. I've tried using the system recovery for the Nth times, but sadly the ability to run the system recovery from the hard disk partition also FAILED and just gives me a black screen again. When pressing "number 0" it does not direct me to the recovery features of the notebook but instead it only put me on a black screen. Likewise when I use the recovery disc, it also put me on a black screen upon entering in the DVD drive, and so as when I'm trying to reformat my laptop with Windows7.
I can't even access the safe mode options of my notebook. All I can access is the CMOS/BIOS setup features of the notebook when pressing F2.
Please help, I don't know what or where the problem maybe and what could be the possible solution on this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Selene

I dont know how can i recover the the HD partition with vista installed.. do this mean I really have to send my laptop to Toshiba service center? It will cost a lot of money, my laptop's warranty already expired.
while i understand that the outlooking symptoms may appear the same, you report that you compressed your C drive but the poster in the linked thread does not... sadly, the underlying problem may or may not be the same even though the surface symtoms appear to be so...
unfortunately, i don't know what to recommend and i feel that i must leave further answers to other support members who have better knowledge than i :?
in my own case, i've finally determined that i must purchase the reload disks from toshiba and hope that they are able to restore my machine to the original factory condition... in you case, i can't say that this is the way to go or not... it really sounds like something either BIOS or OS oriented... since the BIOS reset didn't take care of the problem, it may be something deeper (ie: video broked) or something else...
have you tried booting a *nix live CD like ubuntu? the idea here is that if a live CD of another OS boots, then there may be something wrong with your HD...
along those lines, have you tried running memtest86+ and/or a HD testing util for the drive in your unit? it is possible that memory has gone uuck or the HD may have a section of bad sectors...

Product support for Portege M800

Hi all,
Recently my girlfriend gave me her TOSHIBA M800 laptop. Enlighten me pls as to why I cannot find the model M800 in Toshiba's product support tab?
The models I see there are all 805-XXXXXX.
Is 800 supposed to mean 800 series and that in fact the laptop I am having now is one of those 805-XXXXXX?
I tried to see if any of those M805-XXXXXXX match the model number I see on my laptop but none of it matches. Mine is PPM81L.
I am just trying to find out if my laptop comes with bluetooth.
Appreciate your help on this.

Thanks all!
I found it on the asian page.
I tried to find the manual but cannot locate it. Any kind-hearted soul can teach me how to on the bluetooth?
I read the specifications of my M800 and it states that my laptop does have bluetooth but I have no idea how to turn it on. I turned on the WIFI but I believe it is not the same, because my mobile cannot detect my lappy via bluetooth.
What I am trying to do now is to use my mobile phone as a modem and connect it to my lappy via bluetooth in order for me to surf the internet.
I am currently using windows 7 ultimate.
Any kind hearted soul knows how to do it and is willing to teach me?
Appreciate any kind of help because I am a computer idiot. Thanks.

Defective screen on Portege M800

I bought a PORTEGE (M800-107) in 2009 and before the expiration of the 3-year-old-warranty (2012), the screen went black permanently .
I sent it to the official TOSHIBA service in Greece (called "IDEAL sa") who fixed it in about a month (and after two tries).
One and a half year later, the screen went black again. Now they ask from me 500 euros for the replacement of the monitor. Of course I'm not going to give all these money.
Portege was the 3rd Toshiba notebook I have used. I chose it because I wanted something powerful and professional. The irony is that the most expensive model went off earlier than the cheaper.
However, that was the LAST ONE from you.
PS: In order to take my notebook back (without fixing), I have to pay 30 euros, for the technicians' check!!!!!!!
Really, do you know anyone who goes to service for fun? Or am I responsible for your model's failure?

Hi
To be honest Im really wondering you have this display problem. Portege and Tecra models are the best Toshiba business line notebooks and since years they are known as high quality products with best hardware.
Anyway, sometimes the best products have problems and make troubles. Similar things happen with all technical products. I know it is pretty pity and angry, especially in the moment when you need your notebook.
Maybe it sounds stupid now but maybe you can buy display on your own and find someone who can exchange it for you. I have done this for my friend few years ago. We bought display on eBay and we have exchanged it alone. Of course on our own risk.
Bye and good luck

Re: Portege M800 - can't get bluetooth installed in Windows 7

Hi, I have a portege M800 PPM81C-07602D. It came with windows vista but I have reinstalled it to windows 7, and now I can't get the bluetooth drivers to install. I've tried the old vista drivers as well as the newer windows 7 drivers, but whenever I run the install I get the message "Please plug in the bluetooth device and click ok button."....If I click ok it just pops up again. I don't know why it wouldn't be finding the internal bluetooth....I dont think there's a physical on/off switch for the BT anywhere, and I looked to see if it had been disabled in the bios but there was nothing in there about it...so...I'm out of ideas.
Anyone have any thoughts I can try?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Toshiba Bluetooth stack can be installed if the BT module is enabled properly so use FN+F8 key combination to enable BT module.
After doing this BT should be recognized and installed properly (you will se BT entries in device manager).

Portege M800 - Can't recover Vista

Hy Guys!
Here is my Problem, or even a problem of a friend of mine...
My friend today bought a Toshiba Portege M800-116 - Model Nr.: PPM81E
She turned it on and forgot to plug it in, so during the installation of Vista it shut down and because she is a total noob on computer she took her recovery disk and installed XP. So the recovery image which should be on the HDD is gone...
Now i tried to install a Vista Ultimate x64 but i got a lot of problems with the drivers and i couldn't slove it yet. For example the display driver won't work and some others too. But i don't want her to use XP because it only can use 3 GB of RAM and she's got 4 GB...
So maybe u guys can help me? I don't know what to do. I try to find some solutions for my driver problems, but a recovery file for Vista also would be nice... Its Vista Buissnes which should have been installed. :)
I am from Austria if this matters. ;)
Greetings and thanks for your help.

Look at [www.isd.toshiba.com.au] and you will find 64bit drivers.
On the website go to Support => Download centre, enter your model and you find all drivers for your Notebook

Portege M800-107: Power Management & HDD Protection Utility questions!

Hi all,
I own a Toshiba Portege M800-107, I have recently installed windows 7 (ultimate edition), which enhanced my laptop capabilities. The only problems I face are:
1) The Power Management utility, where I have install the required drivers from the official page of Toshiba, the problem is that the Value Added package is installed without the power management. For now I over come the problem by using the power options offered by Windows 7.
2) The most important problem is the HDD Protection Utility which every time I try to install the driver from the official site, it stops the installation with the reason that this "hardware is not supported by this computer"
Apart those problems the laptop is working perfectly and faster.
If any one could assist me with my problems I would be very appreciated.

> 1) The Power Management utility, where I have install the required drivers from the official page of Toshiba, the problem is that the Value Added package is installed without the power management. For now I over come the problem by using the power options offered by Windows 7.
There is no special Power Saver tool for Win 7. The Value added package provides some additional options which you can find in Win 7/Vista power management.

> 2) The most important problem is the HDD Protection Utility which every time I try to install the driver from the official site, it stops the installation with the reason that this "hardware is not supported by this computer"
The HDD Protection Utility using the acceleration sensor built in the computer.
The point is that there are different M800 on the market and possibly your M800 does not support the acceleration sensor. This could be the reason why you cannot install this tool.

Portege M800 - Exposed Sensitive Touchkeys does not work

I am owner of the Toshiba Portege M800-105. Everything does its work. After 2 month working on it, my exposed sensitive touchkeys next to the POWER-Button does not work. After I deinstalled the "Vista-Value-Added-Package" everything is working proper. Why? Now my FN-Keys are not working or are diabled. Why?
Before deinstallation the package, the first button next to the power-button had the function to turn off the backlight from the Logo, from the senitive touchkeys an from my touchpad. NOW it turn off the sound!!!! Fairy weired if you aks me. How can I fix my buttons up to factory settings and get FN-Buttons working?
I reinstalled the value added package again, and have the save problem as before: the first two buttons next to the power button does not work!
Unter the Application: Thoshiba Button Support, for the first two buttons there are no Keynames depositd/marked so that I can change there configuration.
FN-Keys works after installation the package, though not the sensitive keys! Please, who can help me?
The Value Added Package has small programs. One of them is the Toshiba Button Support. Whenn I deinstall it everything works. When I install it, nothing works.
Thank you for Help on [email protected]

Hello guys
The whole thing is really strange. I really dont know what happen on your notebooks. The fact is that those buttons are controlled by software. If I am remembering well it called Button support or Button control and it is part of Value Added Package.
VAP contains several different tools and utilities. When you remove VAP it will be removed the application responsible for FN functionality (Flashcards) and this is the reason why the FN doesnt work anymore.
So, theoretically everything should be OK when you install VAP again. I repeat theoretically. Why you still have this problem I dont know and I dont believe nobody can say for sure. Maybe some registry entries are corrupted now? Who knows?
I presume you dont want to use most radical solution and make clean OS installation again but this can definitely help. With clean preinstalled OS (factory settings) everything will work well again.
At the end I must say that I use Satellite U400 (similar to your Portege) almost 6 months now and all buttons work properly. I still use preinstalled Vista version and I didnt made any changes. It works well.

Portege M800 - System hangs after fingerprint login

I just got my Portege M800 weeks ago and frankly speaking, this model has been giving me much trouble. Earlier it is the heat problem at the palm rest and there is no solution to it.
Now I am facing another issue with the fingerprint login. I am running on WinXP. I set the system to be locked after 5 minutes idle. So normally after 5 minutes idle, the system will require me to scan my fingerprint to unlock the Windows. But there are times that, after scanning my fingerprint and successfully matched, the screen will just be blank (only showing the desktop wallpaper). No desktop icons, no windows task bar and nothing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del bring up nothing and no response even any key press. I tried to bring the system to hibernate by press the power button once also bring no response.
So I finally have to press and hold the power button to hard-reset the laptop.
Anybody can help or give any clue what was happening? Thanks!

I found the Fingerprint software on the Toshiba European driver page.
At this time you can find a 7.10.1.2 version for Vista 32bit and Win XP

Re: Portege M800: WebCam driver doesn't support internal microphone on 64bit OS

Hi All!
I have the problem that the internal microphone of the webcam (Chicony) is not working in 64 bit systems (Vista or Windows7).
Has someone a fix for that?
Best regards,
Sven

I had what sounds like exactly the same problem and seem to have solved it. You may have tried this already but here's how I got my internal mic working for my Portege M800 on a 64bit OS:
-I went to (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU)
-I downloaded the latest audio/sound driver and installed it.
-Then I went back to (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU)
-I then downloaded the latest webcam driver and installed it.
- I restarted my computer and it worked perfectly. Upon opening Skype, the program automatically noticed a "new" microphone.
Hopefully this is of some help to you.
Good luck with it.

Portege M800-105 - HDMI output driver for XP?

Hi,
I've got a question wich belongs to the HDMI output.
I have put Windows XP Home on my Portege with all driver from the Toshiba support page but my HDMI out does not works.
Now I've seen that there is a driver for Windows Vista called Toshiba HDMI Output.
Does anybody knows a driver called like this for Windows XP?
Or has anyone the same problem working with XP but the HDMI output does not works?
I hope someone can help me with this problem.
thx
dschumacher

Hi
As far as I know this is a Intel High Definition Audio HDMI driver.
Im not a M800 owner but Ive got a U400 Satellite with HDMI output and installed XP.
To be honest I didnt notice any yellow exclamation marks in my device manager but I installed the Intel High Definition Audio HDMI driver from the Intel page
http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-009244.htm
Maybe this site will help you
But note; some notebook features are not available in Win XP but only running Vista!

Loud Portege M800 - CPU usage always at 50% or higher

Hi,
my laptop M800 always runs with fan at full speed, CPU usage runs between 50% to 100% even when no programs are running, is this normal?, seems the computer never seems to go to a resting or idle mode.
hope someone can help
cheers

Hi
Do you use your Portege with factory settings?
What you must do is to stop all useless processes that run in the background. This will reduce CPU usage.
By the way: change cooling method settings.
You can find it in advanced power plan settings > Toshiba Power saver > cooling method. Change it to battery optimized.
It will reduce cooling fan activity and notebook will run much quieter.
Test it please and post some feedback.

Portege M800 New battery - "No battery is detected"

Hello!
I bought new original Toshiba battery for my M800-107, since my old one has lost a half of its capacity. The problem is, when I plugged this new battery in Win7 says "Battery connected, No charging" and after that "No Battery Is Detected". When I unplug AC, laptop works, but when I plug it in again, still no charging (no existence of the battery). The red battery charging led is blinking, when AC is unplugged, lighting when AC connected. I have tried everything I found on the internet to solve this problem, but nothing worked :-(
I also tried Ubuntu to see if Win is the problem, but the same problem occured.
I have bios v. 5.00.
Don't you know any solution? Maybe - new BIOS if there was any newer?
Thanks in advance.

Hi mate
Please take a look into this Toshiba FAQ:
+Battery is not recognized and does not charge+
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB8702EU0001R01.htm
The BIOS must be updated to V3.0 or higher.
Please follow the link attached and choose your model
http://pc-support.toshiba-europe.com/bios/
After updating the Bios it may take several minutes until the battery is recognized and is charging.
In your case the BIOS seems to be up to date so I dont think that the BIOS might be a problem here
Possibly you should purchase a other battery from Toshiba authorized service provider in your country
