  Restart the laptop with your new XP cd inserted, after it is started, the windows installer will ask you where you want to install Windows XP to: follow the prompts to delete all existing partitions, and then follow the prompts to create a new partition and install Windows XP to that. You can choose the "quick format" to speed things up.

• How to install WinXP on Satellite L40-139?

  Einf.
  I can't install Windows XP Home edition on my laptop.

  If i press a key to start to install for a view very short time just "Setup inspects the hardware configuration of your computer' and then nothing happened.

  Have someone some practice with it?

  I assume you are using Microsoft WXP CD installations. Am I wrong? Is the visible HARD disk when you start the process facilities?

  I found a few topics on similar problems. As in the other thread suggested that you must first install an Intel Matrix Storage Manager before you continue the installation of XP. The installation is very easy. During the installation process you must press F6 to include the Intel Matrix storage manager from an external USB FDD drive.

  After this instillation please don t HARD drive format but continue installing XP

• How to stop Satellite L40 - 14N connect to non-preferred networks?

  I'll put up a Satellite L40 - 14N notebook and only want it to be able to connect to a designated wireless LAN router. The network adapter is a Realtek RTL8187B and the laptop runs Windows Vista Edition home premium (v6.0.6000). The machine is currently working on a WLAN with WPA pre-shared key.

  I have read a number of Web pages such as:

  http://ask-Leo.com/how_can_i_block_neighboring_wireless_networks.html

  At halfway on this page, it displays the setting "Automatically connect to non preferred networks" in one of the boxes of properties. In the property fields I see on this machine the I can't find this setting and I don't have a list of options to change the priority of connection or preferred networks.

  Does anyone know if the automatic connection to other networks can be disabled on this computer and if so... How?

  I need the machine for details of a unique WLAN connection and if the network is not present then do not access anything else.

  I noticed the "Connect to a more preferred network if available" parameter in one of the other properties boxes, is this similar?

  Any help much appreciated! :-)

  Pete

  Hello

  "As explained on the website of the 3rd party you should uncheck the option to automatically connect to the non preferred networks.
  You must mark the neighbours WLan and press the properties button.
  Then a new window should open and on the Connections tab, you should * uncheck * the option called + Connect then this network is in range.

• Disabled AGP on Satellite L40 - 14n

  Hi all!

  I have Toshiba Satellite L40 - 14n. When I try to run any game, I see the following message "the game may not be coherent agp is off." Please enable agp for consistency.

  Tell me please how I can do this.

  Hello

  Because the graphics card is hollow connected the AGP bus it must be another problem because if AGP is not active then windows would not be able to start up.

  Which game you play? I recommend you do the following things:

  -update your entire operating system (windows update)
  -Make sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed
  -update the drivers for your graphics card
  -apply the latest patch available for the game you play

• Satellite L40 - 14N boot question without power cord

  Had this problem for a while, any ideas please?

  My Satellite L40 - 14N sometimes won't start when the power cord is not connected. It starts ok but when I get to the Windows screen drops colored that keep moving from left to right and the machine will not get one more no matter how much time is left.

  This never seems to happen when the power cord is connected and is turned on, it starts very well.

  Hi starmonkey,

  What power lead do you mean exactly? Do you mean the AC/DC adapter?

  To be honest, I also don t know why this happens, but you use pre-installed OS from Toshiba?
  You have installed a different display driver?

  Maybe you should try to reinstall Windows in worst case it s a bad material work :(

• Performance issues with Vista on Satellite L40 - 14N

  I just signed up to your forum, it's really nice, how it works.
  I bought 3 months ago, a satellite L40-14N, with Vista Home Premium pre-installed, but I'm starting to get tired of the delays.
  I also have a problem, always Walker I want to open some windows, such as control panel or my computer and all my icons on the desktop disappear after some time will be displayed again, but not the application open before (Panel configuration or my computer).

  I wanted to ask all of you, what may be the problem, in fact I think to get rid of Vista and install XP, do you think it would be a good idea?
  If so, what kind of xp (sp2, sp3, etc.)? And, what I would have in return when I install xp, as what drivers need me for my laptop works properly again?

  Thank you very much... good day

  Hello

  He knows that the Vista operating system is in need of more resources as a Microsoft OS at the beginning of s.
  I have a Vista on the L30 and I get a really slow performance.
  In addition many services and processes running in the background of the operating system. It also decreases performance.
  But all background processes are needed if you want to use all the features of notebooks such as the FN keys or buttons to Toshiba for example.

  However, I've installed XP on the L30 without any additional driver for the FN keys, control buttons etc and it was amazing to see how fast the laptop can be.

  So generally it s not a bad idea to install XP on the L40.
  But note; If you want to install XP on the L40 you must install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager first. Without this driver SATA XP does not recognize the HARD drive.

• Satellite L40 - 14N - RAM who do I take for an upgrade?

  Hello, I have a Satellite L40 - 14N with 1 GB of RAM, and I'm using Vista.

  I have been informed that a bit more RAM would be better so I think to upgrade. On the Toshiba product page, it says that the maximum is 2 GB, and now I'm wondering if it is better to get a key of 1 extra GB or to replace the 1 GB with a 2 GB one?

  Hello

  Satellite L40 - 14N supports up to 2 GB of RAM maximum, you said.

  You buy an extra RAM or you replace the 1 GB with a 2 GB module. It s you according to what you do.
  In your case I would buy an additional 1 GB module because it does not cost so much and I n t see a reason why you should use a single module.

  For the upgrade, you need a memory SO-DIMM PC2-5300 Module.

• His record is not possible on Satellite L40 - 14N

  Hello...

  Bought a Satellite L40 14N last November and have been very happy with it.

  I want to record audio on it. When I start Microsoft Sound Recorder, a small window appears with the message "an audio recording device is not found." As the machine apparently has a sound card with the inputs and outputs, it's quite strange. Surely, you have actually to plug something in the front entrance on the side of registration comes into force?

  If I try to record with Audacity, Audacity can't see even a recording device.

  Someone at - it solutions?

  Thank you...

  Hello

  Usually, you can use the external microphone for sound recording.

  1. open the 'control panel' (Standard view)
  2. click on 'hardware and sound '.
  3. click on "sound."
  4. click on the "Recording" tab

  You should see all the available recording devices. If only one microphone is available so that you can only use this device for sound recording!
