Impossible to install old windows on Satellite A100-787

I bought the Satellite A100-787 with Vista home premium installed. I wanted to remove vista and install older windows.
I tried Win XP without service pack, but the installation gave me a lot of blue screens and could not continue.
I tried Windows Millennium, but even once it froze during installation because of "material conflict". How can I install old windows on this computer.
Pls don't tell me that it is not compatible with the old windows, because this makes no sense.

> How to install old windows on this computer?

Thank you for using Windows XP edition family SP2 not SP1. I installed Windows XP SP2 home edition on the new Satellite A200 and if I can do it on the A200 you can do this on A100 also.

    There are several drivers for my computer Satellite A100-787 (PSAAN) for wireless local area network. Some are by Atheros and some by Intel, which is mine? I can't.

    As you say that the Sat A100 were shipped with Intel and Atheros WLan cards.

    Hello

    Believe me; I see this error message for the first time.
    This certainly isn't a simple error due to software problem, but I think there might be something wrong with the hardware.

    But before you contact the ASP in your country, you should check this:

    If you are not able to boot in windows, so why you n t try to reinstall the operating system?
    Try to boot from the Toshiba Recovery CD and check if it of possible to reinstall Windows.
    In addition I recommend access to the BIOS and try to pass the default BIOS settings.

  • Impossible to send E-mail on Satellite A100 WinXP SP2

    Hi all

    just found this forum.
    I have the Satellite A100 Windows XP sp2 and I'm unable to send e-mail to certain addresses (yahoo among others - recipients rejected by the server).
    After several long sessions with my ISP tech (ntlworld) support that seemed to be the best advice that all is OK with my settings on the server and I need to look for a solution elsewhere.

    I was using Outlook Express as my email application so tried Mozilla's Thunderbird to see if this helped - no improvement, unfortunately.
    Windows updates all installed. I approach approaching the limit of my knowledge, help/advice or pointers in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Maybe is a problem of the Outlook profile.

    Make a new profile in Outlook under Extras? E account Mail with information from the ISP and verify the Netware properties.

    I hope this is a help.

  • Can I go back to my old BIOS settings - Satellite A100?

    My laptop (SATELLITE A100 - 225 PSAA9E - 03U01EEN) started disconecting my router wireless (for 5 seconds at a time every 5 minutes or so) since I updated my BIOS on Toshiba update page.

    How would I go back to my old BIOS settings?

    Thanks in advance, Genghis.

    Hello

    As far as I know it is possible, but this must be done by service. They can install old version of the BIOS using special tools.

  • Impossible to install W7 UEFI on Satellite L875-131

    Hello
    I downloaded the latest Bios (6.70) for your support and flashed my bios.
    There is no way that I can install W7 UEFI on the laptop.
    I disabled Secure Boot, my USB key bootable with W7 or W7 boot my dvd properly.
    Windows shows files upward.
    Then on the 'Starting Windows' screen, the screen is stuck, nothing happens.

    My brackets are great, I have used several and when you pass the UEFI in CMS mode, I could make a correct installation, as at the end of loading, I see my scores and choose where to install W7.

    But as my only HD GPT formatted, there is no way that I can install without losing W8, and I don't want to delete all my partitions.

    I'd appreciate a solution for this problem...

    EDIT: I can also add that the installation process works very well under W8, when choosing a free for install partition.
    Windows copy all files, and then when the system restarts once again, I'm still stuck on the "Starting Windows" screen

    I would be grateful to know if the problem occurs on all satellites L875-131, or if my phone is defective.

    If anyone has a work around for this problem, I would really appreciate ;)

    Thank you very much

  • How to install bluetooth in Satellite A100-787?

    The doc that comes with Bluetooth monitor for this computer says that certain files must be present in the c:\Toshiba directory but I n t have this directory at all in my computer. I installed the BtMon2Inst.exe file (which is recommended for installing XP SP1) which seems to have installed fine but do not know if Bluetooth or not functions.

    Any idea on the steps and files needed for a correct installation?

    Bluetooth Monitor you can find on the download page of Toshiba. Search for Satellite A100 (PSAAN). Download and install Bluetooth monitor.

    According to the Instructions of facilities, you must install the Bluetooth stick and then Bluetooth Monitor. BT can be activated using the FN + F8 key combination.

    Hello

    Seems that you tried to install the drivers bad for bad notebook series.
    Satellite A100-813 belongs to the series of PSAA8E and the laptop was equipped with Wireless 3945ABG Intel and Intel Pro/100 LAN card network card.

    If both are of the Intel chips.
    Check the Toshiba pilot European page again and try reinstalling the drivers!
