(Code 19)
That's the tip-off. You need a registry fix.

  • Toshiba Satellite A505 - Operating system windows 7

    Toshiba Satellite A505 - Operating system windows 7
    1) Unable to get the main part of my touch pad to respond to tapping.  In the control panel we made sure that tapping and tap zone was enable.  Someone said to hold fn & f9 simultaneously but it still doesn't let me tap on the larger main part of touch pad. 
    2) When trying to turn up volume by + sign it makes a alarm sound (PC beep) and as soon as I let go it goes back to where it was.  When using icon in system tray it does the same thing (alarm sounds (PC beep)  and it automatically goes back all the way down). Even going into control panel >sound>speaker >properties to turn up volume does the same thing.  Any help with these two problems would be greatly appreciated.

    ok number 1, try going to ''device manager'' which is found by typing it into the white box when you press the start windows button in the far bottom left corner, the find the device that controls your touchpad... e.g (smart pad etc), it should be easy to find under ''mice and other pointing devices'' then id like you to ''disable'' the device, ignore any messages, and then wait a few seconds, and go back and ''enable'' it, then restart, this should resolve the problem, otherwise its a case that it is damaged, or needs updated drivers or re installing, but try that first...
    Number 2, this is an ongoing problem, and should only last for a few mins until it fixes, if the problem is more serious try this: go to the speaker icon, and right click, then click, ''playback devices'' then the tabs at the top? you see one called ''communications'' well, click that tab, and change the setting to ''do nothing'' see if that resolves it. if not i obviously have more complex solutions, im just giving you thr most common fixes.

  • SLow WIFI toshiba satellite C55-a and windows 8

    Hi I recently bought a new laptop toshiba satellite C55-A with windows 8 on it. My older laptop runs super fast with my WIFI internet. The new one goes like SLOW like hell. I mean I have 10 MB internet and it goes like 500 K Please I am really tired of looking on Internet to fix a problem of a NEW computer. Plus, once I plug my computer with the Internet wire it RUNS on 10 MB! THANK YOU!

    Hello!  I also recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite C55t-A.
    We have a desktop computer that is about 3 years old and another laptop that is about 6 years old.  We have an apple Ipad and 2 cell phones with wifi.  All of these devices work with our WIFI from our cable internet at high speeds.
    This new computer is so slow using Wifi that it isn't really feasable to use it for surfing the web.
    It has ran slow on WIFI straight out of the box...nothing has changed on it.  We perhaps should have returned it, but it was purchased for a specific project we needed it for on a time deadline, so it was too inconvenient to return it.  After using it for the project, it was past the return date.
    Anyways, I am hoping this is fixable...we would like to be able to use the laptop for online work.
    This problem isn't related to the position in the house (walls or distance) or the integrity/age of the router.  All other devices work at different points throughout our home with the current router.  This is the only computer that will not run at an acceptable WIFI speed.
    We also cannot restore the computer (it worked this way out of the box and there are too many files (hours of work) that we can't lose.
    Please, I would appreciate if there is any info that could help me.  I suspect some type of driver or software that came installed on the laptop must not be compatible with our router.
    Thank you!

  • No sound on Satellite Pro A120 with Windows Vista

    Hi
    I have had to reinstall my Vista operating system and rebuild my A120 Satellite Pro from the revovery disk.
    Most things are fine but I cant get any sound from the speakers of headphine jack.
    I have checked andit says that the Realtek High Definition Sound Driver is installed and working correctly.
    My volume buttons are up high on the mixer and on Windows Media Player.
    The driver is Realtek 6.0.1.5317
    Help would be much appreciatesd

    Nothing through the speakers, nothing via the headphone socket. Volume bar goes up and down with the music as it should do when you play an audio file. Tried the Windows Vista built in driver, the Realtek ones from the Toshiba site.
    Last thing to try is rebuilding to the XP support disk, making sure the volume is right at the tip and unmuted, and try reinstalling Vista again, which is tonight's job, but I'm not feeling hopeful about it. Like I said before the toshiba unmute tool didn't do anything for me.

  • Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) Windows Vista does not see DVD-ram UJ-850s

    Hi
    I have a Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) with windows Vista. Windows Vista doesn't recognize the DVD-ram any more. The BIOS recognize the DVD-ram. I did try to download the DVD-ram drivers but they are not on the side of Toshiba.
    Who can help me to get the right driver or know more? From the problems with the Mat****a DVD-ram uj-850s ATA device and windows Vista.

    Hi
    The CD/DVD drive does not need special drivers!!!
    The Vista includes a Microsoft driver which works with all ODDs (CD/DVD drives)
    Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.
    Some questions; did you get any error messages? What is the device manager status? Do you see any yellow exclamation marks?
    There is an old way to fix a similar drive issue. It worked under XP so try it on Vista OS.
    Its necessary to update the registry entry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    1. Click on the start menu.
    2. If this is a Vista machine in the search box type in regedit without the quotation marks.
    3. search the registry key mentioned above.
    4. In the right panel youll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and LowerFilter you want to click on each filter key and hit delete. Click yes when it asks to confirm if you wish to delete the key.
    5. Restart Windows.
    6. Let me know if this works.

    Win 8.1 Toshiba Satellite Pro C50 - A

    I would suggest you to use some disk checking tool and see if the reading/writing of data is working fine from all the disks. 
    If its fine then you should talk to Toshiba Support on this.

  • Does Satellite A105-S4284 support Windows Vista?

    Does A105-S4284 support windows vista? or the drivers are not ready yet? it's vista capable PC i know, but many times i tried installing vista RC1 and it hangs up in the middle of teh installation :( plz help me.
    Thanks,

    If its a vista capable notebook then I dont see any reasons why the notebook should not support Windows Vista.
    Its a fact that at this time no Vista drivers are available on the Toshiba page. (I dont found any)
    I assume we will be able to download the drivers in the next couple of weeks.
    PS: I have installed the RC2 version on my unit and it works without any additional drivers. Only the WLan card does not work but I can live with them

  • Toshiba Satellite A205-S5864

    hey members, I'm a new at this so help me out in anyway possible.
    My Toshiba laptop is coming upon two years of age and it's been showing a disturbing trait recently. It has started to shutdown by itself automatically. I don't know what the source of the problem is be it hardware failure, software failure, etc. The computer does realize that it's going through improper shutdown as when I boot up the computer, it asks which mode i want to go through: safe mode, regular boot up, etc.
    So any suggestions or input on what this problem is would greatly appreciated. Depending on the problem, would it be worth it to shell out money for a tech to fix the problem or is it better to fix the problem myself?

    im thinking it is probably overheating. get a can of compressed air and clean out the air vents on it. use a toothpick to hold the fan in place when you blow that area out. the compressed air will spin the fan faster than it is rated and cause more damage if it is not held in place. if you need to you can get inside your laptop and get it all clean with these instructions www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/toshiba-satellite-a​205/laptop-disassembly-1.htm

  • Toshiba Satellite C645-SP4145L enters windows boot manager and reboots[solved]

    Toshiba Satellite C645-SP4145L
    Problem description:
    When the laptop is turned on, it goes for about less than a second to the Windows Boot Loader Screen, then it reboots itself, this loop repeats continously.
    If you press the enter key quickly, the system boots to windows normally.
    If you press the tab key it will allow you to execute memtest
    If you try to boot from a cd or a usb, either changing the boot order in the BIOS menu or by choosing the option in the boot loader menu (F12), the laptop will crash and start beeping.
    The problems persist either if the ac adpater if connected or disconnected. The problem persist if you remove the battery and work only with AC.
    Tried solutions
    1) Windows 7 reinstallation: Reinstalled windows (not booting from the cd, but from the older windows version). The problem persist
    2)Reflashing BIOS: Download the Toshiba Boot Flashing tool, I upgraded the BIOS version, but the problem persist
    3) Pressing F8 and trying to repair the laptop: It enters Advanced Boot Options, I have tried with al the options.
    Startup Repair
    System Restore
    System Recovery Image (there is none)
    Memtest
    But the problem persist
    4)Diagnostics performed
    memtest: shows everything is ok
    chkdsk c: shows no problem on the disk partition
    Additional Info: Checking the OEM partition the recovery folder seems to be empty

    Well done so far and good reporting. So Windows' loading sequence is messed up.
    Try a System Restore from Windows first.
       What is System Restore?
    If that doesn't fix things, burn a system repair disc (you should make that in any case) and use it to access the recovery environment.

  • Toshiba Satellite A205 Died

    Was just wondering if there is any kind of fix for this.  My satellite A205 that I bought in August of 2007 died this past May and I have not had the time to try and fix it.  I plug the AC adapter in and the lights no longer work or light up, the unit will NOT power on.  I was using it and it just died and it will not power on with the battery.  I have removed the battery and but still nothing.  Could this be a motherboard issue?  I know those are quite expensive and don't have the money to repair.  Just wanna know is this laptop completely shot?  Thanks

    It was just so weird it was fine then I was using it and BOOM power went off and never turned back on.  I've tried several wall outlets and was assured the AC adapter is fine. ):  Really hate to throw not even a 2 year old laptop away.  Nothing lasts anymore.

  • Toshiba Satellite C55-B5201 with Windows 8.1 64bit No USB Ports Work

    I have had nothing but problems with USB ports on this laptop. I went from 3 USB ports all working fine, then 2, 1, and now none. Tried all the obvious from chipset drivers, restore points, even did a factory reset. The USB ports do not function regardless of whether I plug a mouse, printer, anything, into them. I have manually downloaded drivers, ran autodetects, and the OS acts like everything is fine. I find it hard to believe that all three ports have failed and believe it is either a windows or intel problem, but I dont know what else to try. Very frustrating since latop only 1 year old. Can anyone provide an answer to correct this problem. Thanks!

    even did a factory reset.
    That confirms no software on the hard drive is responsible.

    The main concern right now for me is to get my personal data and files from the computer. I still have other computer to use, so I am not so worried about start up the computer. I want to find out a way to first back up my personal data and files from the computer to an external devices, then try to fix the computer. Thank you.

    The main concern right now for me is to get my personal data and files from the computer.
    Yes, that's exactly what you should do first. Later we'll try to resurrect Windows. This is my favorite way nowadays.
     1. Prepare a thumb drive formatted in FAT32. It doesn't need to be large. This stuff only occupies 130 MB on mine.
    2. Download UNetbootin to create the thumb drive.
    3. Download a Puppy Linux .iso file for the operating system.
    4. Run Unetbootin-windows-xxx.exe and point it to the Lupu-xxx.iso file to create a bootable drive.
    5. When you power on your computer, hold down the F12 key. That should give you the opportunity to choose the boot drive.
    6. For some tips, scroll down to the following sections at this web page.

  • Re: Satellite A300 - Windows Vista hang on - what can I do?

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 with OS Windows Vista Home Edition.
    After some weeks of working with my laptop, it hang on.
    I have reinstalled the OS but and it work well during 1 or two months then the laptop hang on again.
    I bought this laptop October 2008 and I have reinstalled Vista 3 o 4 times.
    What can I do?

    You mean the Vista does not response after couple of time?
    Well buddy, this can be an software issue.
    I mean there are no magic solutions for such issues I assume you have installed and used many different applications on this notebook.
    It could be possible that one of the applications causes this issue
    It could be also possible that the registry entries and some system files have been changed during the Microsoft updates
    In my opinion you should use some cleaning tools like for example the CCLeaner.
    Its free tool and it cleans your registry and other files
    You should also check the applications which are running while the system would start to hang up
    Last but not least I recommend checking the memory you could run an memory test (www.memtest.org, www.memtest86.com) in order to find out some memory issues.
    Good luck
