Blurry display after installing XP Pro

Inspiron 1720, Windows XP Pro sp2.

I got 15 of them I need to Setup. Native systems with Vista. We are running applications that are not supported in Vista, so I'm wiping the readers and install XP Pro. Everything works fine. However, the display is not as crispy as in Vista.

I installed the latest drivers for ' Mobile intel 965 Express Chipset Family ' site at support.dell.com. The strange thing is that after the restart and check on the screen briefly seems very clear, then the stove display flashes for 1/2 second and then returns to her fuzzy so.

  • 3110CT no sound after installing XP Pro

    I am a novice when it comes to laptops, so here's the problem: my 3110 ct no sound after installing XP Pro. Had no noise when I bought it with another operating system, the report says no audio devices installed.

    Does this mean that I have to make a chip for laptop or a driver, I need & where can I find the driver or the part for this.

    Help, please.

    Usually, if the audio driver is not installed you will get no sound, but also a yellow exclamation point must appear in Device Manager.

    If the sound card chip is damage, I imagine that you will not be able to see the yellow exclamation point belonging to the sound card in Device Manager.

    You bought this Portege as a second hand unit. Am I wrong?
    So maybe the sound card is faulty.

    The computer uses an ES1978 ESS (Maestro-2E) and sound chip ES1918.
    Check if you can find an audio driver XP in internet.

  • Satellite A60 - lack of drivers after installing WXP Pro

    I installed XP Pro instead of XP home with the PC.
    I can't upgrade because of the other language.
    I downloaded all the drivers of your site, but after insttallation I still have a problem with the FireWire (lack of driver).
    Then I also checked that the drivers of toshiba sure power are missing too.
    What can I do?
    Best regards

    Hello

    on the driver download site, you can download the installation instructions. Follow this order of installation. Toshiba Power Saver utility can be downloaded from the pilot site, too.

    You can also use your CD tools & utilities. There you can find all the programs and drivers for XP. Doesn't matter if it's home or teacher, the drivers are the same. But maybe some drivers from the download site are updated to a newer version.

    Good bye

  • Modem does not not after installing XP Pro

    I just installed XP PRO, including service pack 2, from scratch, on a Satellite Pro A10. I downloaded the latest drivers for modem from this site and install them. (several times). All anything will do, when querying the modem diagnostics tab all that I get is a message indicating that the com port cannot be opened. Is the modem on COM3. Can anyone help please? I tried the suggestions of the other posts, but nothing helps.

    Hello

    I'm not sure but I think that your camera comes with SP1. It is possible that some hardware components are on strike after installation of SP2. Try to reinstall the sound driver.

  • NB550D-111 - can't change the display resolution after installing Win7 Pro

    Hi guys,.

    After you install a clean install of Windows 7 Professional I can't get resolution, more than 800 x 600.
    I went to the section of the driver and installed the good display driver for my NB550D-111: version 8.812.2.2 of the displaydriver.

    After a reboot, still nothing happens and I can't change the resolution.
    Trying to open the Catalyst Control Center results in nothing: I can't seem to open it.

    I spent hours and hours trying to solve this problem, but need help at the moment.

    See you soon,.

    Tim

    NB550D-111 has AMD HD graphics card 6250 and the same Satellite C660D (PSC1YE) or Satellite L775D (PSK5PE) then you can try using the display drivers for these laptops.

    I n t have experience with NBs and cannot confirm this will help, but you can try it and send feedback.

  • Qosmio F10-136 - no sound after installing WXP Pro

    I reformatted my hard drive using the recovery CD, after which, I installed Windows XP Pro. Originally, it was Windows Home Edition that was previously installed. Now, the sound is missing and some components more.

    I tried to download the audio drivers from the Web from Toshiba support site but it didn t work. When executing the installation of the software Sound Max of Analog Devices, Inc., a guest of error is displayed "driver not found, please reboot your computer and reinstall again". Can someone help me on this?
    Thank you.

    First of all buddy you need to update the XP to the last State. I mean to install the XP2 and all patches and fixes available!

    Then you must download all the available drivers, tools and utilities for XP and should install it in the right order.

    The right installation order is mentioned in the installation instructions txt file.

    XP audio driver Analog Devices Inc. v5.12.0.1.5160 is available on the page and it works for sure!

  • Driver problem Intel 945GM display after installing Vista on A100 PSAA8

    After the upgrade to Vista on Satellite * 207-A100 PSAA8E-180049EN *, display adapter "* Mobile Intel (r) Express Chipset Family 945GM *" does not work. In Device Manager, it says "* this device cannot find enough free resources that it can use." (Code 12). " By using the Vista driver from Toshiba Web site and also tired last driver from the Intel Web site without result. Re-installed all the Vista drivers in the order recommended on the site Web of Toshiba. Also tried several removal and re-additons of the different drivers, nothing works.

    If anyone out there has the same model, I would be grateful if you could send a screenshot of Device Manager (reduced to display the secondary devices under main devices). Also a second snapshot of Device Manager, showing resources (Device Manager / View / resources by type). My e-mail address is: [email protected].

  • 30 - Qosmio F-113: no sound after installing WinXP Pro

    I installed Windows XP Professional on my Qosmio F30-113 (preinstalled system is WinXP MCE).
    All devices work properly except for the audio card.
    It not there no sound anywhere, but in Device Manager, it seems, there is no problem with any device.

    I tried to install the audio driver (sound-qf30-xpmce - 51049460.zip) TOSHIBA-Center download - but after restarting Windows install tells me, that the current system doesn't support driver, which I am trying to install.

    What should I do? Which driver to use?

    Hello

    It's very strange. As far as I know that the driver can also be used with WXP Home and Pro. There is no difference. You are right on the sound card. Your laptop has an its SigmaTel STAC9200D card and the driver is SigmaTel HD Audio driver V5.10.4946.0.

    I don't know how did you install all the drivers, but I hope that you did this in the order of good facilities. The order of good facilities, you can find after downloading the install Instructions document.

  • Switch to native SATA after install WinXP Pro?

    I have a compaq presario C306us with a kind of chipset mobile Intel 940-family that is currently being displayed in the disk SATA controller device manager

    "Intel 82801GBM/GHM ICH7 - M family Serial ATA" showing a driver as provided by Intel, as of 23/05/2005, version 7.0.0.1020
    That all said, I'm not sure it's the right driver, or best driver for the device - it is extraordinarily difficult to determine what is right for this chipset [plethora of posts on the topic anywhere on the web].
    The system works with the disabled SATA, it means Compaq say 'Compatibility ATA Mode' :)
    Switching the bios "SATA" will result in bootloop.
    There are messages here and there on the tech forums that support there is a way to implement the system I have now it, point to a source for driver update driver install, install it, restart and go to the BIOS and switch to native and it should work.
    Such a position that seems well detailed is the following:

    SIW reports the northbridge as i940/943 and video shows i945GM
    HP publishes only a softpaq Intel Matrix Storage for this model, and he's wearing an older driver than what I currently loaded.
    HP has a manual on a similar model but sectors of this platform, which details the various solutions and workarounds for this problem.  The instructions after the fact are similar to the but not exactly that of the blogger above.
    I would move this little laptop to a SSD drive, but without solving this issue, it would be a bit of waste.
    I can't get this working and need help from someone more light I have.
    Please help if you can.

    for the sake of others who have this problem and get the same zero responses as I did, I will post the solution.

    Intel crashes their drivers in CAB files so that, in the case of this particular implementation, simply run the executable does not create a folder anywhere that includes all the necessary driver extracted and available files. to make things worse, the cab files are protected by Word and no one I know has the 'key '. so even if microsoft and other kind souls after a procedure to enable real SATA mode, we need to find the drivers.
    These drivers have been posted by some kind and knowledgeable on download.com soul.  This person obviously understood the catch22, extracted the drivers and their publication in a usable form there.
    for reasons that I don't understand, just go to the Device Manager, pulling up the pane driver SATA device and point the wizard to the necessary driver "update" the file on the hard drive will not accomplish the goal.  Instead, copy the files to a usb flash drive and point the wizard on this device to extract the files.  Once that is done, restart the system and immediately call setup/BIOS and SATA to legacy mode SATA mode switch.  Save and let the system startup normally.  When windows is in place and connected, it will finish the task of updating all the devices associated with the controller [in my case the ICH7-M].  Then, the system must be restarted once more for all changes to take effect.  You are finished.  Finally
  • Satellite P100-286 with no display after installing drivers

    I reinstalled XP on my 286 P100, as I did a couple of times before and went about installing the XP drivers on the Toshiba site. I was installing video drivers when the screen went black. I assumed it was a regular part of the installation of the video driver, usually the screen goes black for a few seconds, but the screen remained black.

    I tried various commands on keyboard, but nothing has worked. So I restarted the laptop. Now, the display lights at all. I can't even an external monitor to show anything.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hey,.

    Can you see photo when you in BIOS mode for example?

    If so, you should try to go into safe mode and remove the display driver. Maybe something was wrong due to the installation of the driver

  • No display after installing linux on Satellite A100

    Hi all

    The weekend, I decided to install linux on a partition on my toshiba satellite a100. I did a new install of windows from the recovery cd and everything worked fine. I then installed linux on an extended partition and my computer does not display anything on startup - (the LCD has a backlight) and I get all the beeps and reads it from CD etc. The strange thing is that I can plug it into an external monitor and it works fine. When I start with an external display I can then go to the LCD screen and I get a screen but it is very slow and has a lot of flaws.

    I've updated the bios, installed the latest graphics drivers (ati), but still no improvement. Since the linux install I deleted the partition scope and installed windows from the restore CD (still no improvement).

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can try next?

    Thank you in advanced for your help.

    Ask what you can do?
    Delete and format the whole HARD drive and reinstall the OS from the recovery CD.
    If you want to use Linux, I advise to use a Knoppix. You can get it on the Live CD and it s not necessary to install it on the HARD drive.
