Issue of the upgrade to Vista - Satellite A100 (PSAA9)

Hello.
Well, I think to upgrade to windows vista from my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A100 (PSAA9)). I was researching (little) on the drivers and hardware compatibility with vista, and it seems that if I update now, I can't find major problems. Is this true?
I ask because when I was looking for drivers for vista, I found many (and some of those that exist, I can't download them!) But even without a driver, vista will recognize and install drivers 'default' for the material of my laptop? Can someone answer this with some?
My major concern is connectivity: lan and wireless! I'll be able to install the hardware drivers to operate these two things?

Thank you very much to all those who somehow tries to help with these issues!
Good bye.

Hello

I upgraded my and installed all the drivers from the card reader SD me just used for XP drivers and they worked very well. There are a lot of vista drivers now available for this model, although I am having trouble with the value added package to allow me to use the function keys and access keys.

Apart from that, I had no other problems!

Good luck... Let me know if value-added package that works for you, seems to be working for some but not for others.

See you soon

  • Some issues with the new facility on Satellite A100-691

    Hello

    yesterday, I received the laptop from a friend of mine.
    He had a troyan horse program, so we decided to install everything again. We use the product recovery CD for the Installation of XP, then 'Tools & Utilities CD Rom', but there are now a few problems:

    the following things are listed with a "?" in the Device Manager:

    Ethernet controller (PCI Bus 0, device 27, function 0)
    mass storage controller (Bus PCI 7, device 6, function 2)
    network controller (PCI-Streckplatz 9 (Bus: 5 PCI, device 0, function 0))
    PCI device (Bus PCI 7, device 6, function 3)
    PCI device (PCI Bus 0, device 27, function 0)
    videocontroller (VGA compatible) (6 PCI-outlet (Bus PCI 1, device 0, function 0))

    on the CD are drivers for nvidia, I installed them, you can find it in the softwarelist, but I can't the solution what luck that any other then 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768

    After I installed all the software from the cd rom, I got a message that hkdrv - this driver is absent with Everest there is no listed grafic card, so I can watch, if there is an ATI or Nvidia card in Notepad
    I looked throug google and guides toshiba helf, downloaded all the drivers and updates here, but nothing changes

    The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A100-691 model N°-PSAA9E-09800QGR

    Plese help me. (o)

    Hello!

    Why have you tried to install the nvidia drivers? The Satellite A100 has an ATI Radeon X 1400 graphics card and an Intel chipset, so you n t need stuff or drivers from nvidia.

    I think that you have installed a lot of drivers, which are not necessary. So in your case I would reinstall the laptop again and if you use the recovery disk, you n t need any driver more.

    If you need drivers, look at the Toshiba site: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    There is also the Installation Instructions the software and drivers are recommended.

    Good bye

  • Using the external display with Satellite A100-PSAA9

  • Question on the extension memory by Satellite A100 PSAA9E

    The original manual (1997) for this machine says 2-concerts is the maximum memory for this sub - 2 machine, but today compatible Gig 2 chips are available.

    Can I switch to 4 GB? (or is there another aspect of this machine which limits the memory to 2-concerts?)

    Hello

    Upgrade memory depends on the chipset.
    If the chipset would support only 2 GB, you can then use max 2 GB.

    I think that if the manual says that 2 GB is max which is possible, then it will be good

    Of course you can check that as well.
    Verify your Intel chipset and then look on the Intel site for more details and properties of this chipset.

I would switch the infrared receiver on my computer to avoid this problem.

    Any help you can provide would be great.

    Check if you can find the IrDA device in Device Manager.

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA9A) and Vista DVD maker problem

    I just got windows ultimate on my laptop that I got about 2 and a half years and he says about this Windows Vista capable. So I have to drop out and everything but when I open something like Vista DVD maker, he says that my video card meets the minimum requirements.

    Check my driver and it says Standard VGA graphics card? Strange huh? So went on Notebook driver downloads > Satellite > A100 (PSAA9), but then he only gave me the opportunity to PSAA9E and I need A at the end.

    In any case I put t know whether or not that counts, but I downloaded the driver and check the update driver > Browse pilot, first of all it only let me not click Desktop and didn t let me inside the office even with submenu.

    So I just clicked next and guess what! After all that palaver he said the pilot has the last updated and doesn t need to be installed but it obviously hasn't t because it's model is something starting with 6 and the driver Vista I want download it something starting with 7, so I'm really stuck and really help.

    Thank you

    Hello

    At the bottom of the unit, you should find the name of detailed; something like Satellite A100 - xxx PSA.

    Could you please post this number and name?

    The A100 is certainly capable of Vista, but this does not mean that you can use all the features of Vista.
    My other laptop manufacturer is Vista capable, but for example the doesn t run Vista Aero due to the performance of the weak graphics card.

    Creating Windows DVD is available in Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but some features may require advanced or additional hardware.

    Check this box:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/dvdmaker.mspx

    In any case, the graphics driver on the right must be installed to ensure that such feature Vista can run correctly.

  • Upgrade CPU on Satellite A100-521

    Hi all, looks like a good forum here! I'm looking for more information about upgrading the processor on my Satellite A100-521.

    The current main specifications are:
    Intel Celeron M 360 (1.4 Ghz, 400 Mhz FSB)
    2 GB RAM PC2-4300
    60GB OCZ SSD 2 Vortex
    Windows 7 (works well, but without Aero)

    So it's the CPU that's the weak link, verified by the Windows performance index.

    I did some research and it seems that the chipset is AMD Radeon Xpress 200 m http://www.amd.com/u...s-200m-amd.aspx which is apparently compatible with some Pentium and Core 2 CPU: http://en.wikipedia...s_200_for_Intel

    Any ideas what I could update? Didn't need to be very fast, just a little faster with the processes of daily...

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Upgrading CPU is generally very delicate due to the compatibility of the BIOS.
    Although the chipset would be able to handle new CPU, BIOS can cause problems.
    But no one is able to say that if cell would stable after these updates if you want to be 100% sure, I recommend choosing a CPU that has already been used in the A100 series
    Otherwise, it would be possible that new CPU would not be addressed by BIOS correctly.

  • Considerations for the host of the upgrade of Vista HomePremium for Win 7

    I have a large 64-bit Vista HomePremium PC as the host operating system. I've got VMWare Workstation 6.5.x running as an application on Vista and it supports two computer called Windows XP (essentially nothing else that VMware is running on the host).

    I think the upgrade to Vista from readings elsewhere. Assuming that succeeded, it would be an appropriate next steps approach?

    • Re-install the VMware Workstation application on new host (Win 7)

    • point this VM Workstation application newly installed on the definitions of existing virtual machine (GER) for Windows XP 2 clients

    I'm sorry not to use better terminology in my question. I hope my question makes sense for a VMware guru. I have a bit of memory on the use of the MS Virtual PC 2007 product and I think I understand the concepts but my terms are probably passing offshore for VMWare.

    Other ways to address this issue are:

    • is there a list of audit planning things to do before you change your host operating system while you are a user of VMWare Workstation?

    • is there a special version or service pack for VMWare WS run on a host Windows 7 (64-bit) machine?

    jjamjatra wrote:

    Thank you for your comprehensive reply and suggestions. As I answered Naki, know nothing about the intentions of VMWare on the 'official' support for Windows 7?

    Official support for Windows7 as a host and guest will be included in VMware Workstation 7, which is currently in version beta (in fact it is now at the stage of the Release Candidate).

    VMware comment on dates for the next version, but my guess is that 'soon' is based on the fact that it is more listed on the page of Beta here: http://communities.vmware.com/community/beta
