Toshiba Satellite M200 Windows XP sound driver
Again Toshiba driver.
Since the sound driver I suggested in my previous post does not work, so lastly I need to upload the driver of my laptop.
But the driver I uploaded does not content setup file. Therefore, one needs to right-click “oem1.inf” and select “install”.
I exported the driver using DriverMax (freeware). I didn’t upload the original setup folder, because it is about 83 mb. So, after exported and compressed the file, it is about 9 mb.
MediaPlayerConnectivity and VLC
Previously, I installed K-Lite Mega Codec and used MediaPlayerConnectivity add-on for Firefox. But the Media Player of K-Lite Mega Codec could not connect most mp3 and wma files especially in chinese websites.
Now I tried VLC. And using VLC, it solves the problem of MediaPlayerConnectivity. That means, MediaPlayerConnectivity works well with VLC.
So, now I click the “play” button of MediaPlayerConnectivity, it will pop up VLC and play the audio streaming file. Nice.
Toshiba Satellite M200: Audio and modem drivers
Sorry for some visitors looking for the other drivers, because I did not notice that some visitors asked about the other drivers.
For the audio driver, I installed from my Toshiba laptop. So I don’t know where can find the correct driver. So, I found that Softpedia provides similar driver version. You can try the driver.
For the information, the audio driver I installed is:
Realtek High Definition Audio
Date: 3-1-2007
Version: 5.10.0.5377
(Info showed by using DriverMax)
Website colour hurting your eyes?
Do you find that some websites background colour is hurting your eyes?
You can solve this problem by installing Greasemonkey or Stylish if you are using Firefox. If you are using IE, then you need to install Trixie. I personally do not install Trixie.
Then, install the “user styles”:
Black text on white background or Light text on black background
If you are using Maxthon instead of IE, MyStyle is the solution.
"Language Bar" and "The language bar"
This is an XP annoyance. I don’t know how does it comes out. The problem is, when I righ-click the task bar, and choose “Toolbars”, there shows “Language Bar” and “The language bar”.
I also not sure how to solve this problem. But what I have done already solved the problem. That is, I disable “The language bar”, which also disable the real “Language Bar”. Then I enable “Language Bar” again, and this time no more “The language bar”. And I restart XP. And fixed it.
Dealing with Toshiba Satellite M200
I don’t like Windows Vista, now. I don’t mean that I will remain dislike Vista in future. Why? I only tried a while. I feel that its greatest change is the interface change. And found that, it cannot run several applications which I can run in Windows XP.
So, I go to search about comparison of Vista and XP. Click here to see.
But it does not relate to this article much.
Problem: svchost.exe crashed, lsass.exe high CPU usage, cannot play audio
Today, I got a great problem! First, svchost.exe crashed with the message “The exception unknown aoftware exception (0x0000409) occured in the application at location 0x5b86a3c0”. And this happened when I connected the internet. After the message, I found that my computer was slow down. Then I opened the task manager to see what happened. Then, I found that “lsass.exe” has high CPU usage. This was the problem.
So, I afraid that it was virus. Then I scanned for spyware and virus. But found nothing. So I searched for the solution from internet…
Mozilla Archive Format (MAF) plugin: Cannot open .mht file
Recently, I found that, I cannot open “.mht” file directly using Firefox. Previously, once I installed Mozilla Archive Format, there is no problem to open .mht file. But now, I just drag and drop a .mht file, it will pop up the “Open with…” dialog. Very incovenient. So I search for the solution from internet. However, I cannot find anything.
Lastly, I go to Mozilla Addons website to search any plugin that can edit MIME. Because I read the forum, they said it is because of the problem of MIME. So I found a plugin, MIME Edit. Yes, using the plugin, I can edit the file type for the Firefox. So, I change the “maf” (Mozilla Archive Format) related data, to “open using default application”. Then, problem solved.

Final Fantasy VII: Ruby Weapon missing!
Recently, I play Final Fantasy VII (FF7). I follow the walkthrough to play so that I will not miss any important events. However, after I defeated the Ultimate Weapon, according to the walkthrough, I should be able to find Ruby Weapon in the desert of Gold Saucer.
But, I couldn’t meet it. Ruby Weapon is missing! And I tried to find the solutions from internet. Only few people had same problem as mine. Yes, I can meet Emerald Weapon in the sea, but not Ruby Weapon in the desert.
