Go into the control panel and select add and remove and look for the Toshiba Power saver utility and click remove. If you are running windows 7 go to my computer and select uninstall at top.
Formatting a laptop is the same as doing it on a desktop computer. If you are using the Windows installation CD then to get the laptop to boot up with the Windows CD you can change the BIOS boot startup device and make the CD the first boot device.
place XP CD into your CD Drive that is set to boot first in your Bios. And reboot, When prompted (usually one of first things) press any key to boot from CD" do that.... once you get to the screen that loads press ENTER to "set up XP now" Then press F8 for the user agreement The next page will show your previous installs. choose yours.. Select "Install a Fresh Copy of XP without repairing" the next page will show some options with your drives and partitions listed below. from there you want to select the partition with your current XP install, Then smash "D" on your keyboard to delete the partition (this is where all data is lost on the drive)! you will need to press Enter on the next page to confirm. and another confirmation press L next you will see your drive press C to create an new partition next
you can just hit Enter to create partition the full size of your drive.
(suggested) or you can change the size and have multiple partitions.) once you have created the partition press Enter to install windows will tell you the drive is not formatted and will offer you some choices... choose NTFS Quick or Slow ( I use slow on smaller drives and quick on the big ones.)
The brightness is automatically controlled by a "Brightness Sensor" However, you can compensate the brightness by using the Toshiba Brightness Sensor Control. In order to use this utility, you must set the Brightness Sensor in Toshiba Power Saver to "ON"
this is due to the bios problem. check for bios update from service provider then press fn+esc+power button when light start blinking put your pen drive in the usb port after 1 -2 min, it boots up . that files are like flashget etc.
Check to see if the sound drive installed properly from the device manager. Try uninstalling the driver and doing a hardware search. Then check the sound settings to make sure nothing is muted or turned down. Some driver need manual adjusting.
