Toshiba R200

On boot up, after login I get the message box: Title: Toshiba PowerSaver Content: A fatal error has occurred, this program will beterminated. code 0x5.

Any ideas why?

- Thanks for the response. The Toshiba power management application is very effective (when it works) and important to me because I have a lightweight laptop (R200) with a small battery that I need to make last as long as possible. Thus my real aim is to reinstate the Toshiba application faultlessly. After I get the message box and I "OK" it, everything runs fine, but obviously with no power management. I have now found that by restarting it after it crashes on startup, I can get it to operate OK. But on a reboot, it gives me the error messgae 1 time in 3.

So it's not predictable.

best regards

Mick

It sounds like the built in powersaver utility is crashing. Assuming you can log into the OS after the error, go to Control Panel - Power Options and change to some other (or none at all) setting. And/or uninstall the application completely.

If you can not even get into windows you could try changing the power settings within to bios to disable power saving at all, and that might allow you to boot properly and then turn off/uninstall as described above.

- It's possible that Toshiba has an updated version available on their web site? If not, perhaps an uninstall and re-install would get it working properly again?

Or is it possible that some malware has gotten on your machine and that is what is causing the application to crash? PowerReg comes to mind as a possible exploit that might adversely affect the utility.
