Internet connection takes long to launch the Satellite L40 - 12K

Hello

Can someone tell me if I can speed up the opening of the internet connection on my laptop.

I have a Satellite L40 - 12K, with 2 GB of memory, operating system vista Home premium.
When you enter my user space after 30 seconds the system tray has not all symbols yet, but the drive slows down. At this point, I have the 2-screen symbol with a red cross. Then after 50 seconds, the hard drive shows some activity and then more certain symbols are placed in the system tray.
Then after about 80 s finally Red Cross disappears.
I don't know if this is a common problem with vista, or is there something I can do to speed this time.

pls help me

Hello

the problem with Vista is that many things are 'wobbly' which causes the system to do things slower then you're accustomed to XP or other systems.
The best would be to update ALL your drivers and install each update of Windows available. You can also speed up until your departure by removing unnecessary Autostart entries.
I recommend reading this extremetech article that describes how to speed up Vista system startup:

  • Satellite L40 - 12K - BIOS update failure

    Hi people,

    It is the second Toshiba laptop, I've managed to screw up. I don't know why, but it seems that Toshiba is especially prone to spectacular failure of BIOS.

    This laptop (Satellite L40 - 12K, short model PSL40E) has a bios made by FRIEND and Toshiba has an update on its Web site for windows that uses the tool of WinFlash.exe made by ASUS.

    The tool only works for 32-bit operating systems, and I had installed a 64-bit version of Windows, I could not pass the laptop.

    Then I thought: we will try to update the bios from MS-DOS, using a bootable flash drive!

    I went to the ASUS ftp site and downloaded the latest AFUDOS (2.41). This is a special version of the afudos FRIEND tool, specially designed for ASUS.

    I ran the tool under MS-DOS, and it will make sure the BIOS automatically confirmed that the binary file was compatible with the laptop model and automatically starts the process of flashing.

    But it crash in the phase of "flash erase". He was stuck there for HOURS, so I turned off the computer and tried to turn it back on.

    Not at all, the laptop won't turn. It does not even ANY SOUND. NO LIGHTS, NO NOISE, NO FAN, NOTHING.

    ABSOLUTELY AND COMPLETELY DEAD.

    So, there you have it. I have flashed dozens of computers (servers, laptops, workstations, etc.) in my life, and I've only had TWO failures.

    TWO of them were with Toshiba laptops. Geez, Toshiba is really the King of the failures of BIOS flashing!

    Hello

    I would never try update the Toshiba BIOS with a BIOS from other support pages for computer laptop manufacturer
    What to say; I found one from Toshiba victory of the BIOS and traditional BIOS Toshiba U.S. driver page:

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com

    Maybe you could try to Flash the BIOS using this version of BIOS
    If this is not possible, then only a service provider authorized Toshiba would be able to help you.

    By the way: I've had three different Toshiba notebooks: A210, U400, and now Tecra A11.
    The BIOS update has worked perfect for all series...

  • Satellite L40 - 12K - larger capacity of HDD

    What is the capacity of a hard disk, which is supported by the Toshiba Satellite L40 - 12K? Now I have a 120 GB MK1237GSX TOSHIBA, but I want to change it because it's probably has a problem.

    Hello

    According to the specifications of your laptop supports hard disks up to 200 GB. I believe that a 200 GB HARD drive isn't bad and it will be sufficient for you.
    Do you agree with me?

  • Internet connection no longer works unless I have disconnect and reconnect the wifi regularly

    I find that after a time random, maybe twenty minutes a half an hour or so, my internet connection breaks down and it can only be fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting to my wifi network.

    It is a problem on my iMac of retina 2014 running El Capitan and 2011 MacBook Air my wife running Mountain Lion (but not on my MacBook Air of 2011 which takes place in Yosemite).

    It does not seem to be triggered by almost anything, but it's maddening to have to do all the time. It's a router NetGear btw, less than a year.

    If anyone has a solution I'd love to hear it!

    Greetings, peederjigson!

    Use the Diagnostics wireless for you help to solve the problems of Wi-Fi on your Mac - even with a new router, the firmware may need to be updated. But this article can go a long way to point out where it is.

  • Internet connection takes a long time to connect

    original title: Internet connection problem!

    My internet on my windows XP THAT is telling it to connect to the internet, but it takes forever to load. By forever, I mean that it does not load. The numbers continue to climb, but never, it connects to the internet.

    Hey Kevin,

    If you haven't already done so, try these things.
    Click Start, choose Run, type cmd and press ENTER. This brings you to the command line.
    In the command line, use these commands without quotes.
    "netsh winsock reset."
    "ipconfig/release".
    "ipconfig / renew".
    "ipconfig/flushdns".
    If one of these commands do not work, or if the four run but does not solve the problem, post again and I will help you further.
    Good luck.
  • Procedure for starting and long stop on the Satellite P200 - 10 c

    I have a Satellite P200 - 10 c and I bought this laptop with pre-installed Vista Home Premium.
    Everything works fine, but it takes a long time for the computer to boot. Same thing with shut down and restart.
    Is this normal?

    * amaster *, it has nothing to do with the laptop - that's Vista. You would be to optimize your system.
    1. disable UAC (run msconfig on Tools choose disable UAP, where getting the message "Command completed successfully" - restart)
    2. turn off some visual effects: go to control panel / system / advanced system settings / Advanced tab / Performance settings / Visual effects (default tab) and disable the following list:
    Animate controls and elements inside windows
    Menu fade or slide into view
    ToolTip fade or slide into view
    Fading of items after clicking
    Show shadows under menus
    Show shadows under mouse pointer
    Show translucent selection rectangle
    Drag the open drop-down list boxes
    Drag the task bar buttons
    3. optimize virtual memory: first remove the existing file - control panel/system/advanced system settings/advanced/performance-settings/advanced/Virtual Memory-change... mark "No. Paging File." Reset. Then create the new paging file - Control Panel/System/advanced system settings/advanced/performance-settings/advanced/Virtual Memory-change... do fixed Page File with size equal to: amount of physical memory (RAM) + 1 GB. If you have two hard drives - best create the pagefile on no system disk. The min and max sizes of pagefile should be equal - not different.
    4 turn off System Restore. (Start / computer/properties/Advanced Settings/System Protection.) If UAC will ask you confirmation - allow)
    5. turn off the Hibernation (start programs/guest/in the context menu, choose "Run as Administrator" and in the command line write * powercfg OFF h *)
    6. cut unused services (do not turn it off completely - do, then manually run)
    7 edit the registry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
    MenuShowDelay = 0 (default 400)
    AutoEndTasks = 1
    HungAppTimeout = 1000
    WaitToKillAppTimeout = 1000
    LowLevelHooksTimeout = 1000

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro L]
    In all three destinations: WaitToKillServiceTimeout and make 5000 (default 20000)

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\PriorityControl]
    Win32PrioritySeparation = 6 (default value 2)

    And so on and so forth... Actually-, it is a never-ending story...

    Hello Ashan,

    Thanks for the reply.

    You can try to follow the following suggestions to solve the problem.

    First, try to reset Internet Explorer and see if that helps.

    Reset Internet Explorer

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/923737

    Note: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you have added to the list of Trusted Sites. Reset the Internet Explorer settings can also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the reset Internet Explorer settings. Reset Internet Explorer is not reversible, and all the previous settings are lost after reset.

    Additional information:

    We can also refer to the computer or the device manufacturer's Web site and try to update the latest version of the network adapter drivers.

    (Also works for Windows 8)

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

  • Satellite L40 - 12K - unreliable internet connection

    My laptop sometimes connects with my local wireless network and sometimes is not (so the other pc's in the House do, then there is nothing wrong with the internet connection).

    Sometimes it stops even while I work. Sometimes the little orange light indicating that I have a connection is on, sometimes I can't get on with the slide switch backward. Perhaps the slide is broken? I tried to restart a couple of times: it sometimes works, and sometimes it doesn't. It's a gamble whether or not I have a connection.

    Someone had this problem?

    Hello!

    Normally the WiFi led should always light if the switch is set on you and that you have enabled using FN + F8.
    Did you check that?

    But you should try to update the driver WLAN and BIOS before going to an ASP. Two updates that you can find on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    You use internet security with firewall software? If so, you should try to remove it and use only Windows Firewall and another program like AntiVir AntiVirus (Freeware and very nice). Then test it again.

    Good luck! :)
