New installation of Windows XP Home edition on Qosmio F20 - sound card errors

Hello

I am one of those who is very reckless on internet and download a lot of spam and viruses along the way. I keep, but I'm also obsessive compulsive on the backup of my important files, so when my computer flip out on me, I just wipe it clean and continue!

I stick to windows XP because some software I use still does not work on Vista, and I also install a completely new copy of XP instead of recovery as bundles of Toshiba with my laptop. Why? Because I lost it...

Anyway, I've been tracking the drivers to get the last bits of the material work and all seem to work well! The only problem I have is with the (Yes, you guessed it!) sound card driver!

I have a Qosmio F20 and have no idea of what sound card is actually inside this thing, I have always used SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio drivers and they do most of the work very well, but they seem to have problems when I try to use Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and Soundbooth. Both programs complain that there is no sound card and then refuse to open,

As far as I know, the driver that I use is by 'Analog Devices' and v5.12.1.5240. I don't know if it's really any help at all!

Does anyone know which driver is correct to use and where to find it, or is the fault, I have just an inevitable?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello Pav

Have you installed Windows XP Home with Service Pack 2 included?

On the Toshiba download page, there is a driver available and I do not understand why you think that this is not the right one. The same driver will be installed if you use recovery CD/DVDs.

  • Preparation of an installation of Windows XP Home edition CD with a MINIMUM required drivers for A200-1AX

    Greetings,

    I am trying to install Windows XP Home edition on my old days by Satellite A200-1AX. Today, I tried to boot from the CD of Windows XP Home edition or after the copy of the system files, the laptop produces the error that Setup did not find any hard disk during the Installation of Windows XP. I looked on the internet and found the following page:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows/resolving-Setup-did-not-find-any-hard-disk-drives-during-Windows-XP-installation/

    Explains how to resolve this problem. So I try to make my own installation CD of Windows XP Home edition with the necessary drivers. My first question is: what are the minimum required drivers to ensure a smooth installation process until I get the XP running? It is not necessary to install the drivers for all the A200-1AX since the first installation of XP, I can always go back and install those remaining of the XP; but I don't want the installation process interrupted due to a missing driver where I have to repeat the process of manufacturing more install of WXP CD custom. The list of drivers and devices provided by Toshiba is too long to write on a single installation with XP CD.

    My second question is: there is an update of the bios/firmware required in accordance with the instruction list. Is it necessary BEFORE or AFTER the installation of Windows XP Home edition?

    If I decide to go back to VISTA using the recovery CD, I must restore the bios/firmware?

    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Best regards, Ashraf.

    > My first question is: what are the minimum required drivers to ensure a smooth installation process until I get the XP running

    You will need to include only the Intel Matrix Storage Manger for the XP CD again. Without this iMSM XP will not see the HARD drive
    This driver is important. Other drivers can be installed after the installation of XP!

    > My second question is: there is an update of the bios/firmware required in accordance with the instruction list. Is it necessary BEFORE or AFTER the installation of Windows XP Home edition?

    There are 2 versions of BIOS; One for Vista and one for XP. Generally, the update of the BIOS must be made before the instillation of OS but you can also try to do after installing XP. In both cases, the update of the BIOS would be possible.

    > If I decide to go back to VISTA using the recovery CD, I must restore the bios/firmware?
    Generally, Yes! Without the good BIOS features like the FN buttons could not work properly!

  • Installation of Windows XP Home edition on the new Satellite Pro L550

    Hello

    I have a new satellite Pro L550 and need to downgrade to XP. If I want to go back to Windows 7 that I can in the future?

    Thank you, Lisa

    Hello Lista

    In my opinion you should look forward and begin using the new Windows7 operating system. It is really good OS, well done and runs with good performance on Toshiba laptops.
    Please note that you have most recent laptop with newer hardware model designed for standards of Win7.
    Yes, you can install Win7 when you want.

    Win7 is fully supported and you won't have any problems with it.
    To return to Windows XP edition family has no much sense to me, except to use some old software designed for Windows XP Home edition only.

    Anyway, what model of laptop you have exactly (L550-xxx)?

  • Can not install the new copy of windows xp home edition

    A friend has built a computer for me and my friend it works for me.  Everything goes ok, then it stops working because the friend has installed a pirated copy of Windows XP Professional on this topic.  OK, I'm a little angry, but I can cope.  I had bought a new copy, never been used before, Windows XP Home Edition a couple of years to my old copy that I ended up not using.  When this happened, I thought it would be great, I could install that.  So, I turn on my new computer and let it boot.  When it comes to the screen, saying that I don't have an authentic copy of Windows installed, I open my CD drive, and then press the button so he can go back into the computer.  I have no mouse or keyboard control so I can't select all and nothing happens after that the disk will inside.  Nothing, I can't even hear anything running.   I would try to solve this problem without having to take Office Depot where they charge me $ 99 for "try" to fix it.  I don't have a job, so fix me it is my only option.  Any help out there in the cyberland?  Thanks for any help.  I'm on my dad's computer if you're wondering how I'm even able to send this way.  Laughing out loud

    I do not understand what you're doing or why nothing seems to happen, but the fundamental question that you have, it's that you cannot "upgrade" from XP Pro to XP Home.

    Assuming you can still start Windows (even if you get the notice that it is not authentic), copy all your data on some external support (external drive, USB flash, CD, DVD) and then perform a new installation of XP Home.  Once Windows is installed, you need to restore these data and you will need to re - install applications (programs) that you have installed (for example, Microsoft Office), so you'll need to find the installation for the applications media.

    Because it is a home-built computer, you must obtain all the necessary drivers on the web sites of various hardware manufacturers.  Most likely you will need are motherboard (chip), display (video), (audio), network (including wireless and modem) and any device (e.g., printers).

    Use the computer that you use to post here in order to download drivers and save them to a flash drive or burn them on a CD.

    I guess that your boyfriend (ex?) didn't give you all the documents with the computer (e.g., the motherboard manual or manuals for other equipment he installed).  If you can enter in your current Windows installation, click Start > run > msinfo32 > OK.  Click on the 'Components' category and look at the different devices to determine their models and manufacturers.  Motherboard information (you need to get the drivers of chip set) is not indicated in msinfo32.  Use BelArc Advisor (free)

    How to do a clean install of XP:

    http://www.theeldergeek.com/xp_home_install_-_graphic.htm
    http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

    Don't forget - when installing from a Windows XP CD, you'll probably not the current service pack (service pack 3) and you will certainly not have current security patches.  You too have an antivirus.  Get instant access to Windows Update (do not go to other websites) and download critical updates.  Probably, this will take time and may require several reboots and go back to Windows Update.  When all updates have been installed, install an antivirus.

    If you are willing to pay for an anti-virus, eSet NOD antivirus (not the "suite").  Otherwise, I suggest Microsoft Security Essentials or Avira AntiVir Personal.  At some point after that things are settled down, you should also get the free versions of MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware.  You don't need the "pro version" that work all the time; You must only update and run these scanners on a periodic basis just to be sure that you have not picked up a malware that is slipped beyond your anti-virus.

  • How do you determine the activations how I left on an installation of windows xp home edition

    I have a pc I erased some viruses and malware, but seems to have a corrupted registry. I reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition several times with the cd that I bought at the store a few years back. It was my understanding I could install this particular cd not more than 5 times for a single pc. Over the years I've lost track of the way that many times I reinstalled and reactivated this facility. What should I do to see how many activations I left before I reformat and reinstall with this cd and find out that I don't have a working after all installation?

    There is no limit to the number of times you can activate a retail Windows XP version as long as it is only to be installed/reinstalled on one computer.  However, the relocations within a relatively short time may ask you to activate Windows XP by phone.

    The sticker key product or something else, says 'Windows XP Home Edition, HPQ'

    Hello rutofteaching,

    Because the certificate of authenticity (CoA) has "HPQ" on that, we know that it is a HP or Compaq computer.  Please contact HP/Compaq support to see if you can order a recovery disc for the computer.  If the original motherboard is still in the computer, it is always allowed to run Windows XP Home Edition HP/Compaq.

    Departure to this page by using HP/Compaq: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07143&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

    If none of the recovery discs are available from HP/Compaq, please try other suppliers such as www.restoredisks.com.

    In a pinch, you can borrow real Microsoft hologrammed XP Home installation disc a friend provided with licenses from Microsoft for XP Home Edition OEM/systembuilder/small manufacturer.  Installation using this CD and the product key located on CoA on your computer and NOT the product key provided with the CD. After installation, you must activate by telephone and NOT by an automatic online activation.

    As others have posted, there is nowhere on the Microsoft site that you can download an ISO file or equivalent for Windows XP Edition family.  You wouldn't use a downloaded disk even if you could find one elsewhere on the internet because they are probably packed full of malware, rootkits, and who knows what else - not what you want to infest your computer with.

    Just for the note;
    Toshiba has published several documents that might help you to install the SATA drivers and to include it in the XP CD:

  • installation of Windows XP Home Edition, 32-bit SP2, cd purchased from retail store

    Last week I didn't buy a desktop pc on eBay and I just discovered that there is NO operating system. Four years ago, that I bought a cd to upgrade in a retail store at the level of Windows ME to Windows XP, because Windows Me support was over. I went and bought a box of upgrade (with cd, directions, product key, etc.) in a local store. I installed it, and after completing my computer memory was much too little, then, I went and bought a pc brand new with Vista already intalled by the manufacturer of the computer. Back to my question...

    Can I now use this cd to install an operating system on my computer, I bought the week last in eBay? The pc on which I have installed initially that XP has been scrapped and lifting off of me more than 4 years ago. And also, if I can use it, immediately install SP3 from Microsoft? The computer) that will be installed (which used computer eBay I bought last week) will be used as a 'save', because in a few days, ironically, I get a pc brand new.

    I would appreciate any input from anyone. Thank you!!

    neabsco3268

    Unless you have a CD to install Windows 98 or Windows ME authentic to insert in the drive when asked to do so during the installation of Windows XP, then you won't be able to use the Windows XP upgrade disk since you won't be able to prove that you have a Windows license qualification to be upgraded.

  • New installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on Sony VAIO key OEM

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Sony VAIO VPCEB27FA, who is essentially a Middle East of the EB series model. The PC is literally loaded with all sorts of versions possible assessment and bloatware and it absolutely killed any computing experience. Windows 7 starts at more than 3 minutes. Yes, I timed it actually to see how long it takes for Windows load up before you can start actually using my computer. My old gateway desktop which is in reality a P4 and has Windows 7 installed on it opens in less than 45 seconds and is good to go. So I definitely do a clean install on my laptop to clean up all the UNWANTED horrible. But can I use the Windows 7 key on the back of my laptop after a clean install? I go to download the English version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit of Digital River. Currently, my laptop has the same version that is the English version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit as mentioned on this page from Sony

    http://www.Sony-Asia.com/product/vpceb27fa

    Thank you

    PS: - You can see for yourself on the page of Sony in the specifications of the software INCLUDED, how trialware and bloatware been installed by Sony on this machine. I hate Sony for this and I will never buy a VAIO again in my life.

    There is no need to separately download OEM or retail of Windows 7 RTM installation DVD ISO, as the release of Windows 7 installation can be easily converted using simply the correct product key (for example OEM_SLP product key can convert an installation of Windows 7 at retail in OEM version), as issued by the OEM product keys has a different basis of the retail product key. For ISO of DVD images, the only difference between a Windows 7 RTM retail ISO and ISO of OEM of Windows 7 RTM is in position of EI.cfg file [channel], which specifies the sales channel to retail or OEM.
