Upgraded Satellite P750/05F to Win 8.1 Pro - some questions

I just upgraded my P750/05F to windows 8.1 pro with a CLEAN install of win 8.1 pro
I downloaded and used only the windows 8.1 drivers listed for the P750 via the toshiba website.
I still had a few problems but i think i have resolved them
ie.: No Win 8 drivers worked for ENE IR device, so i used win 7 64 bit
Atheros windows 8driver caused problem so i got latest from Atheros website
There are no windows 8 drivers for the trackpad on the toshiba site, and the windows 8 drivers from Synaptic wont install at all, so i used windows 7 64 drivers.
So far the machine seems stable with this.
Im very annoyed Toshiba did not supply a package of windows 8 drivers for full install.
Anyway my outstanding questions are
1. is there a windows 8 driver for the TV tuner ??? or do i use the windows 7 driver ???
2. My FN keys work, but i dont have any onscreen feedback for windows 8 when i use the FN F8 keys to enable or disable the wireless. With windows 7 there was icons that would pop up. Is there a software for this ??
thanks for any help.

Toshiba provided a Windows 8 system lookup.
There you can check whether your system can be updated to Windows 8.1
http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows81/list_au.htm
In case your notebook series isnt listed there, the notebook series isnt supported for Win 8.1.
This would mean that Win 8.1 drivers would not be available too. :(
It really good news that your machine runs stable even using Win 7 drivers.
Regarding the FN key onscreen feedback:
This part is controlled by Toshiba Function Key Utility for Win 8.1
This tool has been released for many other newer notebook series and therefore I would recommend you to install such software released for other series.

Satellite P750-05F reserved graphics memory and best nVidia driver

I have recently purchased a P750-05F.
The systems specs under windows 7 say
8 gig ram installed. 6 gig available for system ram.
For the graphics GT540M it says 2 gig dedicated, 4 gig available.
Obviously 2 gig of system ram is reserved for the graphics. How can i undo this?
I think 2 gig dedicated is more than enough.
I want to release the reserved 2 gig system ram back to system ram.
I cannot find any bios or graphics driver options to do this ??
Also what is the best latest nvidia driver to use for best performace on this laptop ?
Please help.

So if the GT540 is NOT using the reserved 2 gig, is is available for use by system ram if required.
Or is it locked off from system ram never ever to be used.
Seems like a waste if it is ?
So whats the story on that part ?
thanks

Upgrade Satellite 1800-400 from ME to XP Pro ??

Anybody managed a satisfactory upgrade of a Satellite 1800-400 or similar (384MB RAM, 20GB HD, 800 MHz Celeron)from Win ME?
Would prefer to Upgrade to XP Pro, but clean install 2nd choice.
If I format HD for clean install, would an Upgrade version of XP recognise the Toshiba recovery CD as a legit copy of ME - I heard there may be problems?
I intend to upgrade BIOS and collect all available Drivers for this model offered by Toshiba for XP, but will there still be problems with any of the hardware?
Do the Toshiba Drivers need to be loaded in a special order, and is that during or after the XP install?
Is XP likely to be faster/slower/about the same as ME, with above hardware specification??
Any advice welcome, as I haven't upgraded operating system on a laptop before, and the potential problems seem greater than with desktops.

Hi
I dont see any reason why WXP should not work on your unit properly. On this forum I have read many topics where users reports about WXP on older units as yours.
Please check Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp and there you will find drivers for WXP.
After WXP installation install display and sound driver at first. After that install other hardware drivers. The next step is Toshiba stuff installation:
Common modules
Controls
Power saver
Utilities.
It is important to install common modules as first.

Upgrade from Phenom II X4 to FX8350 or 8320 - some questions.

I'm going to upgrade my current Phenom II X4 965 to FX 8350 or 8320 and have a question - will these CPU's work on my mobo? I'm not going to overclock them. My current configuration is:
CPU - Phenom 2 X4 965 3.4Ghz (125W) overclocked to 3.9Ghz
CPU cooler - Xigmatek Gaia SD1283 (http://www.xigmatek.com/product.php?productid=104)
RAM - 8Gb DDR3 Hyunix
M/b - MSI 970A-G46
Video - HIS Radeon HD 7850 2Gb IceQ X
PSU - Sirtech High Power HP-550-A12S 550W
HDD - 320Gb Hitachi + 500Gb Western Digital
Case is http://www.yang-it.de/5601.htm but I'm going to change it to http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=621 with more fans.
Why do I have this question - I've read a lot about that FX8350/8320 don't work good on this mobo because bad VRM and 4+1 power supply and want to know - is it worth spending money on the new CPU or not? I saw that 8320 is in the list of supported CPU's (and about a month ago saw 8350), but still not sure. The question is very important to me because I have a limited budget that allows me to buy only one of these CPU's and a new case. Are there real owners of similar configurations that could give me an advice?

Quote from: miklkit on 29-July-13, 23:18:00
I have used the type 2 heat sink on a Gigabyte board and it made at 5C difference. But the cooler on your MSI board is much larger than that one so the type 2 will not fit. I have not looked up the specs on the type 4 but it would need to be much longer than the type 2 to fit.
According to this, do not use this motherboard with 8 core cpus. http://www.overclock.net/t/946407/amd-motherboards-vrm-info-database
that's all. dead end. damn MSI! I'm very disappointed with this mobo! why do they state that it will work with FX 83xx CPU's? about a month ago I saw 8350 in CPU support list.

I can't log onto-into my Satellite P750 Win 7 profile

My laptop is a SATELLITE P750 with Windows 7. I started it today and it loaded windows fine, up to point where it requests my profile password.
I have not changed this in years and know it is correct but i keep getting the message 'The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded'.
I do not have any backups made :( silly me.
Any ideas how to get past this as I can't get on my Laptop.
ps I would rather not have to re-install windows or anything too major
Thanx Chris

Hello, I have, since asking this question, found the answer through windows.microsoft.com
If you ever have the same problem, google the message 'The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded' and follow link to support.microsoft where they give you three options to fix. I used the 1st method using regedit and changed the s-1-5 files in the profile list as explained.
This fix worked perfic
May all you IT troubles dissolve away like mine.

Satellite P750 - Shutdown issue after removal of external monitor USB 3 hub

Have operated my Satellite P750 laptop with external DeII monitor for a year or more now.
Monitor has a Usb 3 hub. (i have some ext HDD plugged into these. So far no issues. I unplugged the monitor usb hub from laptop (to create wndows image backup straight through the sole usb3 port on laptop.
After this finished i found that i was unable to shutdown or restart laptop. It gets to the light blue 'shutting down' screen; HDD light flashes for 5/10 secs then it stops accessing disk with power still on and stuck at blue shutdown screen; laptop even sounds like it shuts down.
Two things, i can hold down power button till hard stop, then press again to restart, and all is fine; no error messages when win 7 start up again. Or i have once just left it sitting without holding power button- it seemed to be like this for about 4 hours (monitor went to standby cause idle) before powers down.. When i start laptop after this i get windows warning failed to shut down properly.
It took me a while to work out which device was causing the issue; but can now replicate any time.
So - unplug monitor usb hub from laptop; laptop fails to shut down/restart.
Replug DeII usb hub back to laptop; no problem laptop back to normal shut down.
Any ideas??? (this means whenever i go portable with laptop i have to hard shut down/ hold power key to turn it off????)

To be honest I dont know why the system cannot shut down properly without connected USB monitor hub but system shut down issues are mostly related to some processes which are running in the background.
Sometimes such processes are locked and could not be closed due to different reasons. This may prevent the system from shut down
Maybe this is the case
Try to clean the system as well as the registry using CCleaner (its freeware tool).
You should also check what processes are running in the background maybe one of this processes is related to the hub which cause your shut down problem

Reinstalling Acrobat 9 after upgrading my x86 computer from Win XP Pro to Win 8 Pro on a metered isp

I am trying to reinstall Acrobat 9 after upgrading my x86 computer from Win XP Pro SP3 to Win 8 Pro. I used the CD to install the original Acrobat 9, then began the process of applying all the updates that have been issued since. The update from 9.0 to 9.2.0 was 300.1 MB, but my satellite ISP only allows for 250 MB per day. How can I update to the current version 9.5.3 without having to download and install all the intermediate versions?

Satellite P750 - Wireless card is not working

PSAY3A-02q001. Laptop is about 20 months old. Turned it on this afternoon and the wireless is not working. Atheros AR9002WB-1NG. Cannot b switched on and off from the hardware switch. The switch beeps when pushed. Network troubleshooter indicates card is not turned on. Card is still detected in windows.
I am feeling that this indicates the card has failed. Any thoughts?
cheers Simon

Ok just to tidy this up
The Atheros OEM wireless lan and the bluetooth were both working.
They stopped but I could still see the card in device manager.
Thinking the card was faulty and wanting to upgrade to a better wireless card I purchased an Intel 6235. i had the same problem i.e. the card would not turn on. I reinstalled the Toshiba value added package which then returned functionality to the hotkeys to turn the wireless on and off.
Next problem i was unable to get the bluetooth on the intel card to work.
There is a long thread on this on the intel community forum with the bottom line being a lot of people can't get it to work on their laptops.
I removed the intel card and reinstalled the OEM atheros card which is now working except i can't get the bluetooth to function correctly.
The intel bluetooth software is virtually uninstallable.
This is also covered in the same community forum.
The next step will be reinstalling the OS (windows 7 x64). It has been running for 2 years so is probably due.
Learnings.
1> If your wireless card stops working in the P750 and you can't turn it on reinstall the Toshiba Value added package.
2> Don't install an Intel Centrino 6235 wireless card in your Satellite P750. The bluetooth will not work.
3> Don't install the Intel Proset bluetooth software on your Satellite P750. It wraps itself around everything and can't be uninstalled. Actually you can get it out manually

Satellite P750/02L - Extended Warranty question

Hey
I was wondering if anyone could help me about my extended warranty.
My computers recently been playing up and I need to take it back in but its past its limited warrant and I have lost track of my extended warranty.
I have a Laptop Satellite P750/02L. I remember registering for the extended warranty on the Mytoshiba.com.au website but can't find a copy of it saying that it has the 2 year warranty and I was wondering where I could find it.
I really hope someone can help me.

Hi
Get in contact with Toshiba service center in your country Australia and they should be able to check if your notebook is covered by warranty:

Satellite P750: Unable to install Bluetooth Stack driver on Windows 7 (x64)

Hello.
I own a *Satellite P750-02T* (Part no. *PSAY3A-02T001*).
In the order what I did:
1) I formatted its HDD and reinstalled OS to *Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1*.
Then I downloaded *ONLY BIOS and the drivers* from [its Downloads page|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p750/psay3a-02t001/download?os=25] :
2) I updated its BIOS to *v1.90* (the laptop came with v1.80)
3) I installed all the drivers:
- both LAN and WiFi
- Intel Chipset (latest available)
- all video drivers (Intel HD Graphics, NVIDIA Graphics, and Intel HDMI)
- Card Reader
- Realtek HD Audio (latest)
- Synaptics Touchpad
- USB3.0
- IR
- TV-Tuner
However, I'm *unable to install the Bluetooth driver (v8.00.06(T)* )...
When I run setup from the [above-mentioned page|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p750/psay3a-02t001/download?os=25] it partially detects *'Bluetooth USB Controller-10 from TOSHIBA'* (USB\VID_0930&PID_0215&REV_001)
and then installation simply freezes displaying +'Installing the Bluetooth Driver. Please wait+.' and stays like that forever...
I also tried downloading a driver from [another location|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download-toshiba] for TOSHIBA notebooks - v8.00.02(T):
and followed installation instructions displayed under 'Details'
but there was the same outcome - the setup simply freezes...
Installing Hotfix (*KB978258*) recommended there didn't work either - the message '+The update is not applicable to your computer+' pops up.
And I understand why - this Hotfix is [already included|http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/B/A/EBA55FE2-373A-4351-9346-6D762B79AA69/Updates%20in%20Win7%20and%20WS08R2%20SP1.xls] into Service Pack 1 for MS Windows 7.
I spent hours searching on the Internet for a solution. Although there were some similar cases none of the recommendations actually worked. I tried installing:
- WiFi driver before installing Bluetooth (someone suggested that those two are the parts of the same card);
- resuming installation in Safe Mode;
- *Toshiba Value Added Package* hoping those tools somehow will kick in.
Nothing worked...
It's interesting that when for the sake of experiment I tried to run installation for my generic Bluetooth adapter (using the driver [for non-TOSHIBA notebooks|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download]) then everything run smoothly!
*Using Bluetooth connection on this laptop is very crucial for me.*
I hope I shall not have to return this wonderful notebook as I know TOSHIBA is one of the best manufactures and am sure there is a solution to this problem.
Thank you very much.
Evgeny.

Win7 install with multiple/all the FAILS! Satellite P750 (PART NO. PSAY3A-02T001)

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite P750 (PART NO. PSAY3A-02T001)
Installing: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64 bit)
Background: Laptop is around 2-3 years old now. Formatting and installing a fresh copy of Win7. Doing this for a close friend.
Issue #1: Using the "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool" off the microsoft website, I attemped to install Win7 via USB drive (had so many issues before using this tool ). It boots to USB perfectly and starting going through the installation options. When it gets to "Where do you want to install Windows?" (creating and seleting HDD partitions) I hit a major road-block!
p.s. USB in USB2.0 as I originally tried 3.0 and coudln't even make it that far....
I get the Error "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing systm partition. See the Setup log files for more information." Basically the Primary disk is created but the system disk wont.
p.s. The HDD still does show up and worked before this all. it's not a failed HDD.
I've tried (most of these were "Fixes" I found on forums that never worked):
1. Creating different size partitions, multiple partitions, leaving GB's of "Unallocated Space" hoping it will create a system partition. Didn't work.....
2. Formating the whole HDD using Command-line and wiping it completely clean. Honestly, this was stupid because now I cannot even go back! Didn't work.....
3.Changing BIOS settings and praying it will work. Most of the BIOS settings these fixes told me to change, aren't actaully on this Toshiba model. I even restart to default settings. Didn't work....
4. Even tried a "load Drivers" fix I found. The fix asked for a SATA driver, but I got every driver just incase. Not a single driver even appeared on the "Select the driver to be installed" screen. Unticked the "hide drivers.." box also... So that didn't work either...
At this point I was pretty mad so I went and purcahsed some DVD-RW's to burn the ISO onto and try that instead.
Issue #2: Using the same tool as before, I installed Win7 onto a DVD. I then ran the DVD on my PC to test and the setup.exe showed up. I then put the DVD in the Toshiba laptop and using F12 to select "ODD TSSTcorp CDDVDw TS-L633F" (the other options were "HDD/SSD, USB and LAN).
p.s. The DVD drive lights up and I can hear it reading the disc (normal slight humm).
I then get:
"Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 083)

PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.

or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot Device and Press a key_"
To me, this is the LAN controller boot, but it didn't even read the disk.
I've tried (and again, most of these were "Fixes" I found on forums that never worked):
1. Changing Boot priorities and settings. I even tried to disable LAN boot in BIOS (but you cannot on this model). Didn't work..
2. Yelling at it and holding myself back from hitting it with a hammer. Still attempting..
3. Praying to a higher power. Didn't work...
Ideas I have left that may work:
1. Downloading and burning a different ISO. maybe even trying 32bit. (was 64bit before starting)
2. Waiting for someone much smarter than me to reply on this post and help me!
3. Telling my friend that "It's not my problem, while I run off into the sunset!"
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! This is doing my head in!
and yes, I've tried turning it off and on again

oh my **bleep**ing god...... I am so mad right now! 95% butthurt infact!
MY RAGE IS STRONG!
Just found out off the owner that the DVD drive doesn't work..
SO! The DVD drive doesn't work and it seems like the only way to install Win7. I have a feeling that this model doesn't do USB very well....
will an external DVD drive work for this? or some I find someone with a toshiba that has the same model dvd drive inside and swap them for an hour while I do it...
or should I try LAN... havn't one LAN install in a home environment before..

Windows thinking Ctrl key is stuck on Satellite P750

Yes, I've done some thorough googling and searching of this forum before posting. No prior topic quite resembles my problem; and the solutions don't help. Sticky keys box in the Control Panel is unchecked, not using any aides--the computer is brand new with barely anything installed and zero customization.
Using my Satellite P750 (purchased just in October 2011), every once in a while after simply using Firefox or Chrome (either one)--using nothing but the mouse pad and the left mouse button--the size of the font of the text in the browser randomly increases, and after that the computer starts thinking the Ctrl key is being held down. (Ctrl +Alt + Del does nothing, only rebooting the machine). I realize that I'm inadvertently toggling some function, but what? Looking around Control Panel, nothing seems to be close to "if user moves curser, increase font size and make the Ctrl key stuck".
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!

Thanks, had the same problem with brand new Toshiba Laptop.
Ours also had external mouse attached. With OS thinking CTRL key stuck, Excel went ape and began doing all manner of evil upon a very complex spreadsheet we were working on.
One note: On ours after getting to Mouse Properties, there was not an 'advance' option. Instead we had to select:
