Hello Fernando, I had similar problems with my 100ct not finding the hard drive on power up some times. It turned out to be the 32Mb memory expansion module located under the keyboard. Removing this allowed the machine to find the hard drive, so I bought a new memory module and the machine is working fine now. If fitted, you might want to try temporarily removing the memory module. Lift the plastic strip above the keyboard from the right hand side gently. The keyboard should now come away from the base of the machine with ease. One screw holds the memory in place. Dont forget to remove the battery this time ;) HTH Dave ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

I will be removing Win2000 and using Win98 for myself. It is setup to hibernate from Win2000 every time the power button is pressed, and this is relatively quick, however a full reboot takes a long time, a very long time. The OS itself is quite unresponsive, and its only being used for email and some web browsing at the moment. Win98 on the other hand is very quick in comparision. Another point is that for some reason the sound doesnt work properly under Win2000, although this seems to just be my problem. a 100 (not a 110) > -- get a bigger HDD too > -- overclock your 100 > > If you can't get the first, and you rule out the other two, then my best > guess would be that you will probably find your system as it stands now will > struggle with Win'2K. Its slow. Its slow with the machine overclocked to 266MHz. I take it that it is impossible to upgrade the memory past 64Mb ? Does the BIOS support more than 64Mb ? What about piggybacking more chips on top of the expansion ones, as Win2000 really could do with 128Mb.

There is TweakUI for 9x OS's which allows you you move/rename the folder and
will sort out the registry accordingly. I have used it in the past to do the
same thing with the My Documents folder.
Is there something similar for Win2000 ? I dont know, but Im sure that there
is a lot of OS tweaking software out there somewhere.

[LIB] Windows 2000 speaker problems
Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2002 17:07:54 - From: "Eyetech Technical" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Windows 2000 speaker problems Hello again, Running Windows 2000 on my 100CT now 64Mb I find that I am unable to use the internal speaker or external audio jack. Whilst the sound is fine from within Windows 98, under 2000 when a sound is played it will be repeated very quickly and only a portion of it. If another sound is then played, it will take over from the previous one but with the same problem. I have tried installing the drivers again for it. Does anyone else have this problem, and are there any solutions? Is there a defacto Windows 2000 known working driver file I could download? I noticed that Toshiba dont support the Libretto under 2000. On another note, is there an easy way to switch the display between the LCD and VGA out under Windows 2000, possibly an application written for this, or is my only route to follow through all of the display properties screens?

[LIB] Memory problem fixed

Now I could not find any expansions bigger than 64Mb so I take it that this is the limit for the 100CT?

Toshiba I think is trying to be 'smart', it just gives a screen that says 'Please insert CD' ... no option to look for files anywhere.

If I want to go for Win98 onwards OS installed, should I look at 98SE or ME for better hibernation support?

Dont suppose there is a cheap solution to this? Does anyone have a spare 32Mb that they would like to sell to me? I don't suppose that the memory is actually fine and there is something quite wrong with the Libretto's memory interface. The number of bad things happening to me lately, that would not surprise me :( Cya Dave ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

I removed the 32Mb RAM upgrade board and have found that the system is functioning just fine without it. When it goes back in, the machine will not even post, with or without a hard drie. So I take it that the memory is faulty?!? I can probably buy some more from ebay, but the obvious question would be how the heck did that happen? I take it that the freeze test, cooling it down stops it working instead of CPU's where the cooling is more likely to make it work? I blasted it with some air duster, but that was after it's appearing to be broken.

My recommendation is to open the thing up (no it isn't that hard ;-) and make sure you can't see any obvious stresses or fractures in the circuit boards and that all the connectors are solidly plugged together. > > If you're feeling brave run the laptop without the case and do the freeze test on the RAM modules ... those seem reasonably delicate and the solder joints under them may have fractured (a freeze test is where you run the libby in a loop with something that tests the RAM then apply freezer spray to half the circuit board then the other half ... one half *should* fail when you blast it, reboot and divide THAT section by half and so-on until you can narrow down an area). ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

[LIB] Hello new user and please help
Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2002 10:06:00 - From: "Eyetech Technical" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Hello new user and please help Hi everyone, I've been given a Libretto 100CT machine because it is not working quite correctly. It has both Windows 98 and 2000 installed on a 20Gb drive with 64Mb and is clocked to 266MHz. When I try to boot the machine, some times it works, and others, the screen will do strange things like shift out of place, or the sound will get corrupted. Once in Win 2000 the usual result is a random hang, with nothing working, power button or reset, so I have to remove the AC and battery to reboot the machine. Sometimes I also do not even get the Toshiba BIOS logo. Ive found that if this happens once, the only way to fix it is to remove the hard drive and boot up. The machine reports no drive, then putting it back in and rebooting will allow the machine to work again for perhaps a couple of hours. I am told that this has just started happening the last two days and the machine has been very reliable for a couple of years overclocked. It was dropped the other day, but surely that would just affect the hard drive? Does anyone have any suggestions for what I might try to solve the random hangs? Im tempted to clock it back to the manufacturer's specs, but would prefer trying everything else before opening it up. Thanks for listening.
