Added on September 24, 2007, 10:56 pmHi Sifu, my laptop screen brightness is too bright for my eye so I use the function key f6 to adjust the brightness from level 8 to level 4 but everytime when I restart or turn on the laptop, the brightness will be back to level 8. How can I set the brightness so it will stay there forever? Thanks!

Yes! It reduce heat from building under the notebook as well. When I use the laptop at home, I will removed the battery so now there is a big hole there and no place for me to stick the snapball.

Yeah, Vista is slow compare with XP. I have a desktop with Pentium 4, 1.8ghz processor using windows XP pro. I can feel that it is faster than my new laptop! Will consider to downgrade as well. I think I might upgrade my laptop ram from 1ghz to 2ghz. Probably it will improved the speed kua.

Anyone here use a transparent cover protective film on their laptop? I got the problem here where the bubbles seem appear on the surface very obviously and looks damn ugly. I think the reason why there is so many bubbles because of the black gloss surface finishing so the air easily trap inside the film and cause bubbles. If the surface is matte finishing then it is ok. I think I should find a thicker film.

I'm thinking to upgrade my ram from 1gb to 2gb. After upgrade, will it really improve the speed of my laptop? I'm using Vista OS. Nowadays the ram is very cheap, only RM125 for 1gb Kingston DDR2 KVR667 SODIMM! Thanks!

I just realized that my laptop is using two 512mb ram, means no more slot to add in another ram! The only way is to replace both 512mb ram with single 2gb ram. The price for 2gb is damn expensive RM425 If I get two 1 gb is much cheaper, only RM250. Why the price for 2gb is so expensive? Will my laptop warranty be affected if I upgrade my ram? I means I buy and install myself?

Just bought 1gb kingston ram at pcdepot, cost me RM122. Now my system got 1526mb liao...Can feel a bit faster liao....Later when my sis in kl, I will ask her to get me another 1gb ram. Is much cheaper there, right?

My sister will going down to KL to meet her friend mer so I can ask her to buy lor.....wah rm98 nia...so cheap ar.....dunno in Penang can get that price or not...

If you got friend going to US then can ask them to buy and bring it over lor....make sure don't bring along the packaging lor else sure kena tax one.....right? Is it cheaper to get in US or Europe?

So, Singapore also expensive than Malaysia arrr? I remember many years ago, all electronics product in Singapore is very cheap especially in Sim lim towel. I think now no more liao....

If you stay far away from Singapore then better get it locally else your warranty claims can be troublesome.

Guys, I have create a recovery disc and backup all the files from Tosapins folder by copying them to a DVD. Any other files that I need to back up? If one day I have to format the hard disk, I only use this dvd to reinstall vista and all the driver, right? Thanks.

I use this method when I format my desktop hard disk. Not sure about laptop, maybe same kua

Yeah, sometimes I have this problem also...it show camera locked by another application...dunno which program that cause this problem. I have to restart the laptop then only is ok....Anyone got any idea?

Why my laptop Tosapins folder do not have a webcam driver, only got Chicony camera assistant software nia. In the toshiba website, I found Satellite M200 Vista: Webcam Driver dated 27/8/07 and camera assistant software driver for XP. So I only download the webcam driver (3 parts) dated 27/8/07 for Vista nia, right? Just now I went to Device manager, imaging devices, USB2.0 PC Camera and click on the Update driver and Search automatically for updated driver software. After few minutes, it pop up this message...
"The best driver software for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date. Chicony USB 2.0 camera"
I check the driver date is 9/1/07 but in the Toshiba website is 27/8/07. Is it advisable to download the 3 parts driver and manually install in my laptop? Thanks!

Just installed the webcam driver. Initially it show "Graph failed to render" when I turn on the camera. I restart again the system, now no more error message. Hope everything is fine now.....

I did installed this package last few days but seem no different compare with original one, can't notice any new software in the system FYI, when I try to installed one of the file, error appeared on the screen but I can't remember what is it liao so I just skipped this installation.
