Why does Satellite Pro P100 freeze under Windows 2000?

I have just installed Win 2000 with SP4 on my P100 and am finding that the laptop locks up for a second or so every 30 seconds.
By "lock up" I mean the mouse and keyboard stop working and have to wait for the freeze to end before I can continue.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Hi
You said the CPU usage increases to 50%.
Well I think the notebook freezes for a while because any background processes use more CPU performance.
It would be very interesting to know this background process.
Dont worry; its not very difficult to find it out.
You will find the processes in the task manager.
Check it and post again

Why does Premiere Pro blue-screen if Windows Audio Service is enabled?

Since I enabled ASIO in Premiere Pro, I have to remember to disable the Windows Audio Service before starting Premiere Pro, or else it will blue-screen at some point, usually after I pause playback of a video clip. It only happens in ASIO audio mode, and completely goes away if I disable Windows Audio. Something is interacting badly between the Premiere Pro ASIO driver and the Windows Audio service. The error message has something to do with USB host or something like that...I don't have it in front of me right now.
I tried to create a batch file to disable the service, then run Premiere Pro with "start /wait", then re-enable it when premiere is closed, but Premiere Pro cannot be run by that command, unlike every other executable I've ever used it on. It just doesn't come up. So I tried with a Powershell script instead, and when doing the equivalent in Powershell, Premiere Pro starts, but the window is blank and hangs forever until you kill it by clicking the X. I would be fine with a scripting workaround, but Premiere Pro is really really really resistant to that apparently, so my only option is to remember to disable it manually EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's just annoying when I forget to disable it and then I lose work, and probably hard drive clusters, when the blue-screen comes. And if I want to export something to another program in the suite that doesn't use ASIO, I won't be able to play audio without closing Premiere and fiddling with the service.
Here are the specs that might be relevant:
-Windows 7 x64
-M-Audio FastTrack Pro sound card (usb) [latest drivers]
-12 GB RAM
-Intel core i7
-gtx 460 video card with the ini file CUDA hack

I'll make sure to do that. But in case the bug takes a long time to fix or gets pointed to M-Audio, who will most likely not ever fix it if it's in their stuff, does anybody know how I can get the batch file and/or powershell solution to work? I don't really get why Premiere Pro would know or care who launched it as long as it launched in its own process.

Why does Satellite Pro A300 not start when the power button is pressed?

Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 will not start correctly when the power button is pressed. The situation is this: When I press the power button the Toshiba opening picture (Leading Innovation) appears and disappers quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. Then there is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation underneath. And nothing happens however long I wait.
In order to get on with the starting proces I then shut down the computer by pressing down the power button until the computer stops. ("The hard way to shut down")
Now I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then the computer starts normally with the Toshiba opening picture and after a few seconds I am asked to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.
What shall I do to get a normal start procedure?

When notebook starts normally (after choosing normal mode) shut down your notebook properly using START > Shut down option. Next start should be normal.
When the OS is switched down on irregular way you will be always asked how to start it again (safe or normal mode).
The same happen on my Satellite A300.

Why does Satellite Pro A60 occasionally beep whilst working normally?

Hello,
Every now and then I get a loud echoing beep whilst using my A60, what does this indicate? I am concerned as I had to have my laptop repaired twice under warranty and now the warranty is out I do not want to be left with an expensive repair. First time out it was the hard drive, second time out it was the mainboard. My laptop has always made this noise.
Please help on this matter.
Thanks
Clive

Hi
I dont have the Pr0 A60 but an m40 and on my unit I can hear something similar. Its not a beep tone but more like an click and sough. At first time I was very surprised but know I have locate the sounds.
The different sound is coming from the HDD and from the cooling modules, possibly fans.
I think its the same situation on your notebook

Satellite Pro P100: losing picture on external monitor when I use DVI-D connection

Guys,
I've got a Samsung SyncMaster 940MW LCD TV and a Satellite Pro P100 (Geforce Go 7600), so recently I bought a DVI-D cable to connect them together.
Now the problem is that when I've got it connected at 1400x900 the LCD TV screen switches to a black screen repeatedly (usually when there is alot of activity or I'm resizing windows from maximum to mimimum).
Now, I would have thought it would be the LCD TV not liking the signal or refresh rate however I've connected it using a VGA cable and its fine - no problem all no matter how much I mimimise my windows or put alot of activity on screen. To complicate things even more, when I'm running the screens in "Dual Screen" mode rather than "Clone" if I set one of them 1400x900 @ 59hz in 16bit it works fine....??
Can someone please help as this is doing my head in as I can't figure out what the hell is causing it!
I've included a list below of all the different resolutions / screen modes I've tried it in and the outcome.
Thanks for your time & help.
Regards
Craig.

Hello
I hope you have checked Users manuals delivered with your unit. On the page 148 you can find very interesting table about supported display resolution.
I must be honest with you and say that I am not DVI expert because my LCD has no this port, just HDMI but if I am understood you right you have problem with 1440x900 resolution only. This resolution is not listed as supported and I presume it is not unusual that you have problem.
Sorry but I believe you must use maximum supported 1280x1024 resolution only.

Satellite Pro P100 (PSPA4E) - No Sound Following Win 7 Clean Install

Hello, A European friend really struggling and looking for help.
I have just clean installed Win 7 Home Premium (64 bit) on a Satellite Pro P100 (PSPA4E) which was purchased in November 2006. It was previously running XP and I never installed Vista though the laptop is badged Vista Capable) I followed the Win 7 bios/driver/software install order but I now have no sound at all. Everything that I have tried so far has failed to fix it.
The laptop has a Conexant based audio solution with harman kardon speakers. Win 7 has installed the following driver which reports the following info.
High Definition Audio Device (Microsoft Driver version 6.1.7601.17514 dated 11/19/2010) and Device status: This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Hardware IDs:
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5047&SUBSYS_1179FF31&REV_1000 HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5047&SUBSYS_1179FF31
There is a second exclamation mark in Device Manager for a further unknown device / uninstalled driver (showing code 28) for a device with a Hardware ID of ACPI\SMCB000 but I do not know what this device is!
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix for my sound issue?
Thanks!
Martyn

Any one have any thoughts on this issue?
I have failed to locate a working / compatible Windows 7 x64 driver for Conexant HD Audio!
Perhaps there isn't one?
Perhaps I need to try harder?!?
Perhaps the on board sound solution featuring Conexant HD Audio is simply ****** as on www.conexant.com they say manufacturers have TOLD them NOT to make drivers available (... to poor unfortunate users)!!!
I think that manufacturers need to step up to the plate and support / help their customers. I own 4 Satellite Pro laptops running Vista x32 and Windows 7 x64. This one cost me well over £1,200 so I don't want to hear or conclude that it is simply scrap! That would represent truly poor value for money - the kind of business case that would undermine my belief that Toshiba laptops are the best in the business.
Ditto Microsoft - the Windows 7 x64 Upgrade Advisor tool gave me the all clear to upgrade this system. All generally appears fine EXCEPT the lack of sound.
Having now been exposed to the experience of many other laptop owners set out in various forums etc, covering both Toshiba laptops and some other major brands, I have to conclude that the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor is flawed and that a successful upgrade is somewhat hit and miss affair. Beware!
That said, still hopeful that someone out there will be able to help me fix this issue?

Martyn
P.S. I can be reached by any Toshiba or Microsoft technical support guru looking to make a difference and help me out.

Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEA - Irritating Fan Noise

Hi,
I have a Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEA and it honestly must be the most irritating laptop I have ever owned.
The problem is the cooling fan that has a tendancy to spin up to maximum regularly, sit there for a couple of seconds then spin down.
Rather than just increasing in speed to cool it kinda roars for a second or two then reduces speed. It can do this like every 15 seconds or so and is driving me nuts especially in a quiet room. I am running Windows Vista and the latest V4.4 BIOS. I am ready to kick this thing out the door and never buy Toshiba again.
But before I do this does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks

Updating the driver does seem to have fixed the probem.
Thank you very much!
Now if only I could get VT working the laptops stay of execution could last significantly longer!
I do recommend installing a 7200rpm drive for this particular model. The one Toshiba ships with it is appallingly slow (what were they thinking).

Satellite Pro P100: Where can I find the preinstalled software?

Hi all, i recieved my satellite pro p100-327 today. From what i've read in the manual the recovery cd included is just a copy of windows? If i want to reinstall windows where can all the programs preinstalled on the laptop be reinstalled from? Is there any way to make a boot disk as such?
Thanks for the help all.

I will try to bring light into this case
The Toshiba recovery CD contains a OEM version of the Windows XP operating system and all the Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities are a part of this CD.
Simply said, after usage of the Toshiba recovery CD you will get the notebook with factory settings.
If you need only the Toshiba drivers or tools you can create a own Tools & Utilities CD.
This option can be found in the Toshiba Assist under --> Protect & Fix -> Create Drivers & tools CD
All the drivers are also placed on the Toshiba driver page

Two external LCD on Satellite Pro P100-324

Hello friends
I have Satellite Pro P100-324 with GeForce Go 7900 GS graphic card. I need to work with two external LCD displays. One primary and second as secondary in DualView. But this is not working under Windows XP SP2. In Vista Home Basic it works normally. Is there any chance to work on this notebook on Windows XP with two external monitors sith DualView mode?
Thanks.

Wait a moment. You will say that you can make running two external displays connected to your Satellite P100?
Can you please tell me how you have connected both of them and how you can switch to both external displays?
As far as I know it is possible to use just one external display, but two at the same time

HT6114 why does macbook pro restart with the latest software?

Why does macbook pro block and restart with the latest software update?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for crash or panic reports. If you don't see that heading, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". It may be under either of the two subcategories, "System" and "User." A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic".
Select the most recent of each and post the entire contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as a hang log — they're very long and not helpful.

Hi Michel,
Many thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately I have tried your suggested approach
probably 20 times or more with around 8 different drivers. So far none have fully
installed and fixed the issue.

How to connect the Satellite Pro P100 to Hifi

I've got Satellite Pro P100. How to connect this notebook to HiFI
This is probably easy, but what can i say... just call me stupid.
I've got the lead that goes out of the headphone jack, it links up to my hifi nice.
Trouble being, there's a nasty hiss in the background. Tried plugging my boys mp3 player into the lead, and that works fine.
Any chance of some help... thanks

Hi
In my knowledge you can connect the Sat Pro P100 to HiFi only via a 2-RCA Audio Y cable adapter. In my knowledge the notebook does not support the S/PDIF audio out so you will be able only to use an analog sound port.
You could also buy a stereo adapter with 2x cinch jacks to connect the notebook to the Hifi. Such adapter can be plugged into the headphone jack
Check this:
stereo adapter
I think you should visit the nearest notebook dealer. He can show you the right and supported cables and adapters.

Satellite Pro P100 - Synaptics touchpad issue using Win 7

Satellite Pro P100 with Synaptics touch pad, was running Vista, now Win 7 64 bit.
The original driver had an option "disable when external pointing device connected".
I have installed a driver from Synaptics Synaptics_v14_0_3_C_XP64_Vista64_Win7-64_Signed_default.exe which does not have this check box.
It works fine except that sometimes the Microsoft Mouse turns off and on every few seconds as it or the touchpad fight each. I have to disable the touchpad.
Then next time I turn on. If I do so without a mouse, I cannot use the touchpad, until i plug in the mouse, reactivate, then unplug the mouse.
Thanks

Sorry, but this problem is reccurring more frequently (like every 2 or 3 days). The driver you recommend does not have the "disable touchpad when external mouse connected", nor does the Fn+F9 button work. Both touchpad and mouse are active at the same time with the result that the mouse becomes active, inactive, active, inactive every few seconds, and is that happens the secondary monitor goes blank (which is normal when new drivers are being installed, such as for an unrecognised flash drive). Thanks.

HT4623 Why does my ipad3 keep freezing up?

Why does my ipad3 keep freezing up after the latest version was installed?

It might or your system may be low on RAM. Open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) while operating the computer normally. Then click the System Memory tab, under normal usage a general rule is if they system has 500MB or more or FREE RAM it's OK, if it's below that yup you could use a RAM upgrade. It will look similar to:
While you are in Activity Monitor also check the %CPU column and look to see if you have any processes using large amounts of the CPU.

HT1320 why does my iPod classic freeze up when i plug it in to my computer

why does my iPod classic freeze up when i plug it in to my computer

It's not a "fix," actually. If that is a 4th gen iPod connected using USB, you need to do what it says and plug it in to the white square power adapter that originally came with those models. Later Apple power adapters should work; third-party adapters may or may not work. It has something to do with voltage. The USB connection to computer does not provide the required voltage (although it's obviously fine for normal syncing and charging).
If that iPod is connected to a FireWire port, it apparently provides the required voltage, because that step does not come up during the Restore. That model was a transition between iPod connecting to FireWire and connecting to USB. Earlier models required FireWire. Later models only used USB.
If you don't have an adapter, and there is an Apple Store nearby, I guess you could take it to the store's Genius Bar. I'm sure they have a power adapter there, to complete the Restore. (Just don't let them re-do the Restore on a Mac, if you use a Windows PC. Different storage formatting.)
