• Satellite Pro L300 1AD is unable to install the Windows XP display driver

  I just installed XP on my Satellite pro because my internet modem doesn't work with Vista.

  I went to the main site of Toshiba to install display drivers, but they moved it, it keeps bringing the message "this driver is not for this computer please contact manufacturer.

  I put t understand why because all the other drivers that I downloaded on the same work, it's just the display one page. Does anyone know what's wrong?

  You have downloaded the latest driver for Satellite Pro L300?
  On the Toshiba site it s version 6.14.10.4953.

  An alternative, you can try the drivers from Intel, but normally the Toshiba driver should work.
  I always use the driver from Toshiba and never had any problems.

  Furthermore, I looked on the Toshiba site:

• How to install Windows XP in Satellite Pro L300-1 to 9?

  Hello!

  first of all, sorry if I ask something really obvious, but I'm quite new with this questions... sorry for my English, I'm not native.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1 to 9 with Windows Vista preinstalled, but the thing is that I prefer Windows XP. I tried to install it, but it won't work.

  I read a lot of messages and comments on this topic in this forum and also in the web. The problem is that I don't know if the procedure and drivers to download are the same for all models L300. Mine is L300 1 to 9.

  Could someone give me a few extra simple instructions (I'm a beginner) on how solve this problem or a link to this question? I saw a lot of them, but none on this model L300 1 to 9.

  Thank you very much!!

  Hello!

  What do you mean with it doesn t work to install Windows XP?
  Please explain this!

  However, I think you forgot the SATA drivers. These drivers are required to install Windows XP, if your system is running in AHCI mode for better performance.
  The drivers, you can download the Toshiba site or on Intel:

• Satellite Pro L300 shows ACPI ATK0100 Kernel Mode Driver error

  I have a Satellite Pro L300 with Windows Vista and it has been fickle to say the least, making me restart the system several times.
  The last two times she since continued to come up with an error message saying "cannot open ACPI ATK0100 Kernel Mode Driver", and I understand that it is perhaps what is originally that there problems later.

  I tried updating the BIOS, reinstall the drivers and, seeking answers and, of course, reinstall the whole system, but I still get this message every time I turn on my laptop and I really don't want that it gives me the blue screen of death again - please help me!

  Thank you.

  Stand by.

  You ve done clean install of Vista with initial recovery DVDs and you get this error in any case (no additional software is installed)?

• Satellite Pro L300-1AF fails to start

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-1AF that won't start, it stopped working a few weeks ago and I tried startup repair and things, and nothing seemed to work just kept loading a black screen with a cursor but nothing else. After a little more research, I found out how to restore to factory settings holding the 0 key etc. when I tried this he got 54% then the screen everything went black and now it used to boot. It happens with just:

  -Unable to start windows. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

  file:\Windows\system32\winload.exe
  status: 0xc000000e
  Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.

  He also says to insert your installation disc, but I have not one when I bought it.

  -What this means and how can I solve this problem? I tried the factory restore and just make it even worse.

  Any help or advice would be much appreciated

  Hello
  > He also says to insert your installation disc, but I have not one when I bought it.
  That's your first problem. This model laptop was delivered without disc recovery but the preinstalled software that allows you to create a recovery media. All this is clearly described in the document s user manuals.
  Now, your original Vista operating system has disappeared. On this path virtual I can't say with certainty what the problem is, but somehow, I think the HARD drive's troublemaker.

  What to do now? First you need the Windows installation for the installation of the OS disc. Original Vista may not be used more so my advice to you is to get the Win7 32 bit install disc and try to install it on your machine. Win7 is entirely compatible, so there is no problem to install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities.

  By default the BIOS settings and try to install Win7. If the same problem recurs and Setup will stop I m afraid HARD drive is defective. If possible, try to get another HDD for testing purposes.

  You know you have to play a bit with your machine now and find out what the problem is.

  Hello.

  XP and Seven is installed in dual-boot on my laptop and I use EasyBCD to choose which system I want to start.

  To start XP, I need to enable "Compatibility" (Controller SATA in BIOS mode) and seven is "AHCI" must be activated.

  Is there a way for my two OS was started without making changes in the bios?
  Y at - it an update to correct this problem (or alternative)?

  Thank you in advance.
  Marc

  Yes you can do it but I'm afraid, you must reinstall Windows XP Home edition m.
  Why? Because before beginning to install Windows XP Home edition, you must change it to AHCI mode, launch the installation of Windows XP Home edition and before you start you need to load the SATA driver (via F6 I think).

  Long time ago, we have discussed a lot about this on this forum then use the advanced search anc check options other postings on this subject.

• BSOD STOP 0 x 00008086 on Satellite Pro L300 - 1 K PSLB9E

  Hello

  My son came back from uni with his laptop which, to quote ' is knacked - no idea what the problem - been like that for weeks...» »

  At startup, it goes to the green bar of process, then goes off, then comes up with the BSOD - technical details: Stop:

  0 x 00008086 (0x00000000) (0x00000000) (0x00000000) (0x00000000)

  At this point, I didn't get any action with her, when I make a bad situation worse.

  The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 - 1 K (PSLB9E) running Windows Vista.
  (I would provide more information, if I could, but can't until I can start to check specifications)

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  BSOD can be caused by a hardware or software problem.
  First of all, you should check if it s not software related issue.
  In such cases, it of needed to reinstall the Windows operating system.
  Usually the new OS installed should not cause any BSOD!

  If the Toshiba Recovery disk does not help you, then you should start to investigate
  It may be a cause of modules defective memory BSOD issue very often.

  However, if you have no knowledge about computers, then you should ask a technician to downtown to control parts.

• Satellite Pro L300 - no sound with Win7 64

  I have the laptop according to:

  [Satellite Pro L300-1AF | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=1058007&DISC _topSpeed = 1 & service = UK]

  I installed Win7 on the laptop, and now I can't get any sound. When you set the volume control, the level display changes on the operating system, so I guess everything is ok with the connections. I tried many different drivers, including the currently recommended drivers, as well as all the previous pilots (including drivers for different versions of the VICTORY, as suggested on some forums) after many hours trying to solve the problem, nothing seems to work.

  Any ideas or suggestions?

  Hello

  This means that the sound card is properly installed in Device Manager and you don t have no yellow exclamation?

  Perhaps portable speakers are silent. Simply press the combination of keys FN + ESC enable/disable sound.

• Satellite Pro L300 - second defective memory Slot?

  Hi, I'm trying to install 4 GB of memory in a laptop Satellite Pro L300. This kind of thing, I did a thousand times before.

  However, every time I install a module of memory in the second memory slot, the laptop will be a blue screen when windows is loaded. Even running memtest (via bootable cd) will result in a block, so it is not for lack of Windows.

  I have the latest version of the BIOS installed (1.50)

  Each module of memory works perfectly in the main location on its own.

  With the help of a single module of memory in the memory secondary slot (even the original 1 GB module) translates the laptop does not even start.

  Is this a known issue? Or is it just a second faulty slot?

  Thank you very much!

  Maybe it's a non compatible memory module.

  What model of laptop you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
  What extra RAM you bought?
  Have you checked the compatibility?

  To be honest on this forum you will find many forums where people have described the same problem after upgrade. Most of these problems described was linked to the use of markets and not compatible good RAM modules.

• Satellite Pro L300 - XP runs slowly

  Satellite Pro L300 PSLB9E - Windows XP
  Works slow intermittently, but shows inactive in the Task Manager. Disable anti virus etc, but always slowly works intermittently.

  Can anyone offer advice please?

  Hey mate,

  First I must say that it is really hard to say why your laptop is running slowly. There are several reasons for this problem, but it would be interesting to know if you have installed the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba or did you install XP yourself using a disc of Microsoft? In this case, you should try this again with the Toshiba recovery disc. It contains a picture of the factory settings and so, your laptop should work correctly.

  In addition, I would recommend to defragment the HARD disk, disable some services and startup programs that you don't need and you try a good antivirus like AntiVir. After that, clean you the registry with CCleaner.

  Good luck!

• Satellite Pro L300: x 3100 and updated updated driver chipset Intel 965 graphics

  Has anyone installed the Intel 7.15.10.1666 driver, dated 02/26/2009 for the Mobile 965 chipset? Here is their web page to download:

  http://www.Intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/

  Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 doesn't work for some reason unknown to me, with the automatic update driver Intel (download containing the executable file). Therefore, I followed the instructions for manual installation (the download with the zip file).

  My laptop works fine with this new driver, and there is a clear improvement in the transitions between images when you use the option to Windows presentation (slideshow).

  This new driver installs also 3 Intel graphics programs:
  For the management of the display function keys
  Access to the system tray
  Wizard TV

  I used Windows Defender to remove these 3 programs that load automatically at startup of the system to maintain a fast startup time and not loading unnecessary programs in memory. There is no me no problem.

  Why Toshiba has added that this to the driver download page?

  Hello

  Thanks for this second info...

  > Why Toshiba has added that this to the driver download page?
  Who knows maybe it has not been verified, approved and tested by Toshiba?

  As far as I know every phone manufacturers test and approve drivers before they will be released in the pages of pilot
  Perhaps, it has not been approved...

  However, it s good new that this driver works correctly.
  I'll check it too on my laptop.

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro L300 - touchpad does not work

  Hi all that I need help urgent because it drives me crazy. First of all, I use XP PRO. My laptop is fairly new, only around the age of 4 months, I had no problem with it at all. I formatted my laptop yesterday and reinstalled all the drivers that I downloaded here:

  http://www.ISD.Toshiba.com.au

  and everything works fine except the touchpad. I have already installed shared, utilitarian toggle the touchpad Module and I have the latest BIOS installed and reset all default settings and I made sure that the touchpad is enabled in the BIOS, but also pressing FN + F9 to enable during Windows.

  I installed the latest touchpad driver Synpatics I downloaded from the homepage of Synaptics. But for some reason any, that it does not work, I don't know what is the problem here. My touchpad worked before I formatted my laptop, it worked fine and has never had any problems. Will you please tell me what is wrong because I need to use my touchpad sometimes as well, so I can't use a mouse all the time.

  Hello

  > I installed the latest Synaptics touchpad driver that I downloaded from the home page of Synaptics
  I think that you question refers simply to the driver for the touchpad that is missing or incorrect.
  I put t know how it works on Toshiba notebook Australian, but the Toshiba European Satellite Pro L300 units needs touchpad different drivers. some use the Toshiba touchpad driver and some units need a driver for the Synaptics touchpad.

  In your case, I recommend this controlled again.

  By the way; My touchpad is always disabled so that en external mouse is connected.
  It is parameters that control it. Please check in your touchpad properties too!

  Hello

  Start-up of facilities you have to load the SATA driver. I think that your laptop has a Chipset Mobile Intel® GL960 Express with code CrestlineGM + ICH8-M name.

• Will XP work very well on a Vista Satellite Pro L300-153

  Hello

  I'll buy the Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-153 vista laptop, but I intend to use XP on it.
  If I destroy the entire vista and install XP, then use all of the drivers listed on this site for XP, my system would work fine with XP but it's a computer vista laptop?

  I don't see a reason why it should not work well. If Toshiba offers the drivers for this model of laptop, it must be tested.

  For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, I recommend using Windows XP SP2 home edition.
  Do not vorget to create DVDs of recovery before you remove the Vista system.
