While gaming graphics get scrambled and Satellite A200-1j0 freezes

Hi,
I have a major graphics problem with my notebook. Its a Satellite A200-1j0 with HD 2600 running vista 32bit.
When I run a game the graphics get scrambled and the nb freezes.
I have been using the nb for casual gaming since i bought it (1 year ago) with no problems.
But some days ago, a couple of games (hl2, far cry 2) started freezing my system rarely and at random times.
Today, I updated the drivers from the Toshiba site and it got worse.
It now happens in almost every game, and as soon as graphics appear after the loading screens.
Windows run without problems though.
Here are some photos of the notebook when the graphics get scrambled

My first thought would be a faulty VGA Card, especially considering you are using the proper Toshiba Display Drivers.
I would update the BIOS and see how that goes.
Then reinstall Windows using the Recovery Disc to ensure its not a software problem (maybe DirectX is corrupted?).
Otherwise, send it to an ASP for repairs.

Satellite A200-1J0 is getting very hot

When i work long hourks on my laptop ( 4-5 hours ) it is geting so hot that i can't even put my hand on buttons and sometimes it just turns off =(((

Hi
Ohh.You have installed Win XP? Well buddy. In such case you should update the BIOS too!
There is a BIOS designed especially for Win XP and you should update it if you switched to Win XP OS.
Furthermore you should install the Toshiba Power Saver and should change the settings in Toshiba Power Saver Basic Setup.
There you can find the option called Cooling Method. Set it to Max Performance.
Furthermore you can set the CPU processing speed to a lower level and CPU control method to Auto.
At the other hand your notebook can overheat because of the clogged cooling grilles and cooling modules. I know this because my notebooks temperature was high until I removed the dust from the cooling fans.
I used a compressed air spray. You can buy it from different computer dealers or online shops.

Gaming graphic glitch - fps and refreshing problem?

So I'm recently having some strange issues with gaming graphics (Skyrim and Witcher 2). Whenever I try to run them, the screen starts glitching and refreshing, making the game unplayable. I already installed the newest drivers and checked installed programs compatibility.

Error: File does not exist (while trying to get Petstore and demos to run)

Hi all,
I have been trying in vain to get the Petstore demo and other servlet demo HelloWorld to run. It seems to install okay cause it creates the directories and extracts the .ear or .war files. My problem is connecting to the application. When I run http://my.host:7778/estore or http://my.host/7778/HelloWorld/HelloWorld I get and error in the Apache error_log that says: File does not exist: c:/oracle/components/apache/apache/htdocs/helloworld/helloworld and File does not exist: c:/oracle/components/apache/apache/htdocs/estore
I have looked and searched everywhere for help but to no avail. Under the WebModule the URL Binding is /HelloWorld and /estore.
Please help me!!! I am going crazy with this.
Thanks,

PS. I am running 9iAS 9.0.2.0.1 and everything is on 1 Windows 2000 (sp1) machine. Infrastructure and Components in separate dirs with port 7777 and 7778 for each.

I'm having the same problem under a solaris system did anyone ever find the solution to this problem. For some reason the server just wants to use the document root instead of the deployed application directory.

Rikaichan (add-on) doesn't work at my office. It gives this error "Javascript application: the index for one or more dictionaries needs to be created. This may take a while on slower computers". And then the PC freezes. What should I do?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.17, and have installed Rikaichan 2.02. Once I've installed the Japanese-English dictionary, I then click on Rikaichan to get it started, and it always gives a "Javascript Application" error:
'''"The index for one or more dictionaries needs to be created. This may take a while on slower computers"'''
Rikaichan always works fine on my laptop, but I just can't seem to install it properly at work. Is there some sort of office security screwing it up?

venicespent,
Boot into your Mavericks Recovery partition by hold down the command and R keys whilst booting. You'll see a screen that looks like this:
Click on the Disk Utility item to open Disk Utility. You should see your boot drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've changed it) in the column on the left of the screen. Select your boot partition and click on the "Verify" button. Let your Mac do it's thing - if you get green text telling you that everything seems to be OK, then your disk should not be damaged. If, however, you get red text telling you that the disk needs to be repaired, click on the "Repair" button. If the disk can be repaired, you should be good to go. If the disk cannot be repaired then the drive is damaged.
But before you do anything, make certain that you have backups!!!

I was happily working with firefox 3.6(?) I received a request to upgrade to firefox 4. I did so. The site keeps freezing and I cannot get email.

Firefox has always opened a blank new tab, if it opened to anything else that would be caused by an add-on. Check your add-ons to see if any offer this feature, or if any were disabled when you updated to Firefox 4.

SDHC card does nor work on Satellite A200-1J0 with a clean Vista install

Greetings,
When I bought this notebook there was preinstalled Vista 32bit and as usual some Toshiba's drivers and software. As I remeber there was no problems with built in memory card reader, it was reading regular SD cards and also SDHC.
One day I had to reinstall operating system (without using recovery disc) and i've downloaded drivers for my notebook from official site, installed them and the card reader now it's not able to read SDHC cards. Is it just me?
This is what I installed for reader:
-Toshiba Value Added Package where is TOSHIBA Flash Cards inside of it
-Flashmedia Driver
-SD Utilities
I just want to highlight that there's no problem with reading mmc or normal sd cards.
My sdhc card is 100% working properly with other card readers.
Another sdhc card that I have is not working, it's just like I put nothing inside the reader.
Just nothing happens.
Is there anything else that I missed and this is the reason of my problem?
Any fix for Vista or something like that?

Dear Jeffrey,
My problem is solved, thank you so much! :)
This words were very helpful:
"Mostly an installation instruction is placed on the Toshiba European driver page which contains the essential installation order."
So I went on that site and found file where was written:
Contents and Installation order
for Windows Vista
INSTALL ORDER
WINDOWS VISTA
No. Component Name Version
1 Windows Vista RTM
2 Intel ICH7M Chipset Utility native
3 Intel 945GM Display Driver
or

4 Realtek ALC861D Audio Driver
5 Realtek 10/100 8101E/ Gigabit 8111B LAN Driver
6 Synaptics Touch Pad Driver (with LuxPad)

22 TOSHIBA Assist
23 TOSHIBA Speech System
24 TOSHIBA Extended Tiles for Windows Mobility Center V1.01
25 TOSHIBA Fingerprint Utility V5.6.0.3221
Thanks to that file I've found that I haven't installed "TI Multiple Digital Media Card Reader". In toshiba european download site there's nothing like that so nothing weird that I didn't find that before. Here google became a good companion and helped me to find that file. I just simply installed it without deinstaling previously installed drivers (just like is NOT written in install order above) and it's working :)
Thank you once again!
Best regards,

When i open my computer I get the white screen with apple symbol and there are vertical lines all over the screen with green pixels and after a few minutes the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer what happens

3 years ago I bought an IMac Desktop that I am using for a lot of things but the most important for dvd montage in Imovies and Idvd.
Now today when I opened my computer I get as usual the white screen with the Apple symbol but there were all over the screen vertical lines with green pixels and after a while the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer using the power button or the restart button and when I do so each time the same is happening somebody can tell me what is happening and what caused this. This computer is my work and now I have no income anymore.
On the Apple support site they are asking to enter the serial number and when I do so I get message it is wrong but it is the only one I have and I buy this computer in Cairo Egypt. I am living in Hurghada in Egypt for the moment. When I call the technical support of the shop where I buy it they are telling me that it is the hard disk or ram and that I probably lost everything on it and they are asking a big amount to repair.
Can somebody advise me on this matter. Thanks in advance

You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive.
You can also boot into Safe mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
   1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
   2. Press the power button.
   3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
      Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
   4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
Please post back with results,
To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

NI Session Manager gets slower and slower from call to call!

I have the following problem with NI-Session-Manager:
I use Session Manager a lot on my test systems. Now that I have a test system running that makes many Session Manager Calls I noticed that after a while the system gets slower and slower. I�ve attached a Sequence File, which demonstrates this problem.
This sequence file is based on the LV Session Manager Example, which ships with TestStand.
Instructions: In the UI-Msg Field of the Sequence Editor you will see how long the actual run took to execute. Every run makes 500 calls to Session Manager. You will notice that every run takes a little bit longer than the previous. After 100 runs the difference is significant.
Although my example uses a COM
port to demonstrate the problem this problem is really related to Session Manager because the same happens if I use an IVI-Instrument (i.e. NI-DMM, NI-Switch, �)
Any help appreciated!

Herbert -
Thanks for the feedback. I will look into item (1).
The design of the session manager was to solve the problem of only having to share an instrument within a multithread application. If the session already exists, than you get the same session and thus the same handle, and the instrument is only initialize once and closed after the session no longer exists.
In the case of a C++ based program you would have to add the session as a member variable that has a specific lifetime. When the object is release, so will the session.
In the case of an application like TestStand, you just attach the session to the execution. Once the execution goes away, the session may go away if no other execution is using it.
In the case of L
abVIEW being called from TestStand, you are using VIs as subroutines, so either the application (TestStand) must manage the lifetime of the session, or the VI subroutine must deligate the lifetime control to a "global" VI. The item you attach to the global could be the refnum itself or the SMgr session. One way of doing this would be to create a VI that serves the refnum to you but internally manages the lifetime of the ActiveX references to the Session Manager sessions. This would be a simple vector of names and their sessions. When called the VI would lookup and return a refnum from an existing session or create a new session and return a refnum for it.

MacBook Pro display scrambles and restarts when lifted up

I have a two year old MacBook Pro (13in Mid-2012 model) running on OS X Yosemite. The device had a faulty HDD connector and it was replaced a few months back. Now if I lift the device when it is on, the display gets scrambled and freezes for a second and restarts. Also the MBP gets very hot during usage.
The MBP was purchased and used in India, but since last month after I moved to Singapore the magsafe adapter is getting very hot during usage.

Your GPU is damaged. The failing NVIDEA is very common with your model. So much so, Apple had a free replacement program until Dec 2012. Unfortunately you will need a new logic board. This will cost $750-900. I suggest purchasing a new machine.

Satellite X200-219 overheats while gaming and shuts down

Ok I originally lived in the UK, where I bought a Toshiba X200-219.
Since then I moved to the States, and have the laptop plugged into a surge protected extension cord, attached to plug converter.
Once the warranty expired on the laptop, I upgraded to 4GB of RAM, and switched out both hard disks to Seagate 320GB 7200rpm drives.
Now ever since I moved to the States, the laptop has been overheating, more and more frequently even *before* I upgraded the components; this has usually been happening whilst gaming. I have been regularly blowing out any dust that might have settled inside the vents with compressed air
But this time it's different. I was playing Red Alert 3, and it did it 3 times. When the laptop over heats, I have to remove the power cord and then reinsert it before switching it on. Except the final time I tried that, the laptop didn't start. There are absolutely no signs of life from the thing, even after cooling down for the past 2 hours. There aren't even any lights acknowledging that the power cord is plugged in. Oh and I've replaced the fuse so it can't be that (the battery is in the back in this instance)
In the UK the laptop ran at a normal temperature. Over here it was running hot to touch, and the fan was screaming but it was manageable.
It ran even hotter on the odd game I was playing but not whilst en/decoding movies.
Please don't let this become one of *those* threads where everything fizzles out and I don't get an answer. Any ideas please?
Happy holidays folks

Hi
Overheating is a serious issue because a high temperature can damage the internal parts.
The internal temperature increases to a higher level because all devices like CPU and GPU are running with high performance while gaming.
In such case the cooling module fans should rotate faster to ensure that the warm air would be blow away
In many cases the cooling modules cannot work properly because the dust and debris clog up the cooling grilles or there is not enough thermal grease between the cooling module and CPU or GPU.
Furthermore its not recommended using NON-Toshiba graphic drivers because such non Toshiba graphic drivers are not designed for the notebook usage and can lead to such overheating issues.
You should also ensure that there is enough free space around the notebook. This is important for properly fresh air circulation.
But of course an faulty cooling module could be also responsible for such overheating issues and in such case ONLY the ASP would be able to help you.

Satellite M70 - Drastic drop in FPS while gaming

My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite M70-148.
Link: [See here|http://nl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=NL&BV_UseBVCook ie=yes&PRODUCT_ID=109803]
I have bought my laptop in febuari 2006. I've been playing the game America's Army v2.5 since that time.
Since 4-5 months I have been getting serious drops in FPS while gaming. I am talking about from 85 FPS (steady with the highest settings) to more frequently drops to 30-40 FPS and even more to 8-10-15 FPS (on the bare lowest settings).
At first I thought this could be fixed by increasing RAM memory, so i bought 2 sticks of 1 GB RAM. And this didn't work at all.
I've installed a fresh backup, with nothing but Windows XP (Home, legal of course with all updates) and the game and i'm still experiencing the drops in FPS.
What I seem to be hearing is the fan blowing harder when I get the FPS drop and sometimes it does the same when it goes back to 85 fps.
Because it has been able to run smoothly before I am inclined to think that this is some hardware malfunction that is causing this problem.
Is there any way I can replace/upgrade the hardware inside my computer?
Or can someone give me a suggestion as to where i should look to find the problem?
Thanks a LOT!
// PAMF

If you think you have a hardware problem with your notebook, I would go to a service partner from Toshiba.
You can search for a partner in your region on this website:

I hope this helps you...
