  On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the Portege M100 drivers.

• Portege M100 - no audio output device

  I recently acquired a Portege M100 1.2 ghz model no PPM1DE-0000Y-EN. The hard drive had been cleaned, so I installed Windows XP with Service Pack 3. I don't have a utility Toshiba and driver CD.

  For the moment, my main problem is that there is no sound and I get messages of "no audio output device. I can watch a DVD but once again his silence as the internal speakers do not work. I am a novice, so if you have any tips please try to not do not technical but in simple terms that I can understand. There are probably a number of questions that I haven't discovered yet IE Power Saver, etc. without wire.

  I think you're missing the SOUNDMAX program to render sounds. At least that's what I had with my M200, but apparently M100 and M200 are quite similar. Installed SOUNDMAX SE will solve the problem. The easiest way is probably to get a sort of utility CD.

  And it's probably the only one too. Even if make you it work without, you always end up without the other Toshiba Utilities (which can be quite crucial, as power saving, ability to use the buttons and the FN keys, possibility to use the touchpad, etc..).

• No WiFi after installation of XP SP3 on Portege M100

  I have a used protégé M100, on which I recently did a clean install of Windows XP Pro (SP3).
  Unfortunately, as a novice, I didn't save my drivers.

  I've been on the Toshiba site and that you have downloaded everything for this model (M100 protégé Centrino), I printed the "content and the order of installation for windows XP" and load all the drivers at best in the suggested order.

  However, some items were not available to download, or I did not understand the references.

  I downloaded and installed the Atheros client utility and the customer, as well as Configfree utility aironet Cisco, but could find nothing to match the description "wireless driver".

  Perhaps because of this, or not? customer utilities above and ConfigFree (connection doctor) as well as some other diagnostic software downloads tell me I have no installed... wireless LAN hardware but I know it's there, and I never got it out!

  Can someone tell me what I can do?

  Hi George

  I think that you just have not installed the right driver WLan.

  The Portege M100 was certainly equipped with a wireless network card internal minPCI and you should see it in the device under network card Manager. It should appear as an unknown device (if no driver has been installed) or a Wlan-Intel/Atheros/Toshiba/Cisco card.

  Always it is that there are different models of the Portege M100 with different internal minPCI WLan cards and I think you used the incompatible driver.

  Please check the single WLan drivers published on the page of the Toshiba driver and check if you allow your internal wireless network card.

  In addition, you can use the Toshiba WLan portal to get the latest drivers for the Atheros/Intel cards.

• Portege M100 - WinXP tools & utilities installation sequence

  Hello

  I recently bought a new Portege M100 but received no assistance Tools & Utilities CD ROM I would like to perform a new installation with a standard CD-ROM Windows XP SP2 (not the Toshiba Recovery CD) and have downloaded the necessary drivers and utilities from the Web site.

  Can someone please list the exact order (in accordance with the CD of tools & utilities) to use when installing drivers and utilities for a Windows XP system? The updates of Windows (executable files Quick Fix Engineering) are not necessary, because I will have already downloaded all Windows updates before proceeding with the installation of drivers.
  Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  As far as I know after installing Windows, you need to install the utility Chipset and modules then common. Then display driver, sound driver, orders etc.
  But why do you want to install the operating system from the original Windows CD?
  You can use the recovery CD and then you can remove all the programs that you do not need.
  Believe me. It is a simpler way.

  Good bye

• Wireless card not found - Portege M100

  I hope someone can help me, I'm pulling out my hair!

  I bought a used Portege M100 (model number PPM10E) and is in serious trouble to install the mini-pci wireless adapter that comes with it.

  When I turn on the wireless switch on the front, light on the cover comes in orange.

  Windows XP (Pro, SP1, and SP2 update) does not see the device. Device Manager acknowledges 2 devices with problems: 'Network controller' and 'other devices '.

  I downloaded the drivers all listed for this model and installed (or tried!) in the order specified in the Installation Instructions file (from the same page of drivers Toshiba download for this model).

  I also installed Everest Home Edition, and he sees the wireless adapter and tells me that it is an Intel 2200 BG.

  I tried to get drivers updated Intel and driverguide.com, but none of them will have, either - not even on a clean install, substituting them the driver provided by Toshiba.

  The wireless card works perfectly in other non-Toshiba notebook, also running Win XP Pro - so I guess that there is a conflict of software/hardware with this Toshiba laptop!

  I tried to 'update driver' on 1 2 problem devices) by pointing their (via Device Manager / driver update) each downloaded game (uncompressed) file. No joy.
  (2) to connect to my router via an ethernet cable and allowing Windows to search online for drivers. No joy here no more.

  When I try to run the Atheros Client Utility or Config Free, they can't find any wireless adapter on the system.

  Can someone give me advice on what to do next? Specifically, I bought this machine because I need to use wireless.

  Thanks in advance (and hope!)

  Teddy

  A few questions:
  1. you said that the wireless network card works in the Toshiba laptop not. Did you change the card WiFi of your Toshiba to the other laptop?
  2. you are not sure if it's an Intel or Atheros Wlan card (otherwise it makes no sense to install a client with an Intel Wlan card atheros). Could you please send the PnP ID of the device (DeviceManager-> properties-> details-> Hardware ID)?

• Portege M100 - none of the drivers work

  None of the Vista drivers work for Windows 7, so I switched to XP Professional and always SOME drivers don't work?

  Is there a special way to install after installing Windows?

  see you soon

  Hi ollie,.

  It would be interesting to know what you mean with none of the drivers work. You get an error message or what is exactly happening?

  Regarding the issue of Windows 7 I think that it of normal that Vista drivers do not work for Windows 7 because the Portege M100 is very old notebook, so I doubt that Windows 7 will work on this subject.

  Moreover, the Toshiba site, you will find an installation instructions document. Use this list a driver installation order is recommended.

• Portege M100 runs at 600 MHz after the BIOS/FRIMWARE upgrade

  Hello

  I received a Portege M100, this week, installed Debian GNU/Linux (Sid) on it and almost everything was fine.
  Then I upgraded to the latest BIOS/FIRMWARE (from V1.10 to V1.50) and now my Pentium M 1200 MHz running at half speed.
  I can not load also cpufreq, which controls the speed of the cpu.

  I see this problem is already known, then:
  It will come a new BIOS/FIRMWARE fix for this?

  What do you mean by "I saw that this problem is already knowna? ¦ »
  Where do you find the description for a same problem?

  Usually the BIOS update should not have any influence 'wrong' on the speed of the CPU!

  Have you checked the BIOS option called "dynamic CPU frequency mode".

  This option is also in the Toshiba HWSetup. You can also switch between 'high' and 'always low '.

• Portege M100 just run half the speed - 600 Mhz

  Hello
  I have a Portege M100 that I found very slow until I discovered it was running half speed (IE 600 mhz). I tried everything in the Bios and in Toshiba utility, but nothing to do: always clocked at 600 Mhz.

  Is there something I missed? y at - it 'special' something to do to allow him to run at full speed?

  I thank the of in advance to anyone who helps!

  Hello

  As already suggested that the firmware must be updated! This portable strange behavior happens especially if the technician forgot to update this laptop runs only at 600 MHz.

• Several questions on Portege M100

  Hello

  Forgive me in advance if this sounds a bit sketchy but my husband's is the only useful with these things, but his time is limited with work, I thought I'd try and help in advance for when he comes home.

  I bought a M100 to take with us on our vacation, especially to just watch DVDs for children and some web browsing so n t need something fancy or again the guy we got it installed Ubuntu Linux 9.10.

  The main problem we are having is

  1. we can t connect to the internet, the wireless on the top light is still orange (I presume it must be green once everything is well and is connected), even if my husband did the usual things that connected our 3 other laptops for the wireless. It downloaded the user manual and it has to activate the wireless press SHIFT + F8, but this doesn t seem to do anything.

  2. we can play t DVD, the guy we got if says he burned a CD from it, but when we asked to watch DVDs, he said he didn t try know everything, when you insert the DVD, it says you need to download a codex, which her husband is very well done if it was able to connect to the internet.

  I hope all that makes sense please advice on what we could do

  Thank you very much

  Portege M100 is old enough laptop model, and certainly not supported for Linux operating system that's why if you want to use all the functions described in the user manuals, you need to use supported WXP.

  What you need to do is to install the operating system using upgraders original CD.
  Do you have the with your laptop?

  If you don't install WXP using the original disk of Microsoft WXP facilities. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp for assistance

  If you need good facilities order list please let us know.

• Disk error when you exit the Portege M100 in standby mode

  Hello all :)

  Have a Portege M100 for general use with WXP Pro installed.
  Recently decided to upgrade to a DVD - rom DVD burner, then bought a Sony DW-Q250A burner.
  Installed and it worked, but I continue having problems when the computer wakes from sleep, I get the message "ERROR #1 IDE", while the system reboots without additional probs in windows

  The problem is, once this happens, the DVD player then disappears from the window 'my computer' and is not visible in the "Device Manager", until I remove the disc, back up and then analyze for pop. "p in Device Manager devices, it reappears as nothing has happened."
  I thought it might have been a conflict with the IDE bus (ie the two - disk HARD & DVD - disks configured as master) so I put a rider on the HARD disk to make the slave drive (which looks like to mean a change of firmware on the DVD drive for this) but it just created more probs... Then I got a message "ERROR of IDE #0" extra when I did and the machine would not boot from the HARD drive.

  Any thoughts would be welcome? :|

  Mark

  Hi mate,

  "first of all I would like to explain the IDE #0 error: it s quite understandable given that the HARD drive is the * FIRST * player of all and must stand the * FIRST" by car, which means that you jumper shouldn´t to a slave drive. It must be a master, otherwise, as in your case, the boot of won´t machine.
  in
  So you have 2 IDE channels (primary and secondary IDE channel), and each channel has a master and a slave. Apart from the HARD drive that is located on the main channel, your DVD player is naturally on the secondary channel configured as the master drive.
  Here´s a bit 'image': D to explain it:

  -> Primary channel-> Master = HARD drive
  -> Slave = nothing

  -> Secondary channel-> Master = DVD
  -> Slave = nothing

  Regarding your problem:

  I have no definitive solution for you, but I can give you some advice. First download the latest BIOS for your machine and upgrade to the latest version. Then download the latest drivers and install them. After that, look for an update of the firmware of your player of DVD and last but no less check the database of microsoft for known issues as any of the similar issues are known for me with drives toshiba toshiba machines.

  Would be worthy to try

  :)

  See you soon
