Problem with Windows XP on Satellite L40-139

Hello Toshiba user community!

I'm new here but I'll cut right to the chase with my problem.

I have a Toshiba Satellite L40 - 139 (PSL40E) model that was included with Windows Vista Home Premium installed and all perfectly installed software. I recently got a Windows XP Professional SP2 through MSDNA of my college (a Microsoft service for universities) and has installed because Windows Vista, although very looking shifted the laptop as hell.

The installation went smoothly. I installed all the drivers that showed the question mark (as the display driver, audio, modem, etc.). I experienced a few problems. They are presented below as well as a few questions:

1. I can't use the Fn function more. While Fn + F8 works, I can't turn the volume upwards or downwards using Fn + arrow up / Fn + arrow key or any other combination.

2. the display driver although it shows that it is perfectly installed it seems that it is not.
a. I do not have the optino of display properties when I right click on the desktop.
b. I recently installed Gothic I, who had previously worked on my L40 and now after playing the intro, I do not see the menu. It's dark, but the sound can be heard as the navigation menu. If I manage to press new surprise of game, it's always black and sometimes it shows a random graphic error.
I tried to install the Toshiba page display driver. And after that he has not changed a thing I downloaded one from the Intel site. Same thing!

Do you know a sollution?

3 another problem, although as unrelated to the laptop is the for my laptop model Toshiba download page only shows the "how to install Windows XP.pdf" file. " This is for the Windows XP operating system. If you change to Vista you get a lot of pilots. It would almost seem Toshiba would force me to HAVE Vista so that my Satellite wo works properly. Any ideas?

4. do you know a good tutorial on how to install Windows XP for Toshiba L40 laptop? Especially for the L40 - 139 (PSL40E)?

5. If Windows XP succeeded withought problem to see my hard drive is necessary to install the driver Toshiba mentions in his XP installation tutorial? I mean he should improve performance or not?

Thank you in advance,
I will adjust your answers tomorrow!

Best regards!

Hi Robert,.

I think that there is no such thing as a tutorial for installing Windows XP on your machine. But you can count the installation instructions provided on the page to Toshiba, because WinXP installation is all about good pilot order.

Have you tried to select as model number short "all"? You can find many drivers and I am sure that these will work very well for your laptop.
I'd say reinstall with the Toshiba page display drivers and try again. And install the latest version of direct X 9.

OK, Gothic I is not a new game, but worth a try anyway.
Ditto for the FN keys. Just follow the installation instructions and download and run driver configurations.

  • Problem with Windows Mail on Satellite L350-145

    Establishment of a L350-145, I met a problem to start Windows Mail.
    At first, I thought that the problem could have been due to a large Import OE, or an interaction with my AV (Kaspersky) or software firewall (Comodo).

    However, having disabled from this other software, then by removing existing user Windows Mail files and finally have restored the system to the box start in HARD drive recovery files, I'm still having the problem, it's...

    If I do a deed of record (for example, creating or deleting a folder), the list of records not updated until I exit and restart the Windows Mail application. Similarly, if I empty the deleted items folder that contains a folder deleted the content of deleted items not updated until I exit and restart the application.

    Because this behavior is allowing me to perform actions on files that have already been made, I fear this could eventually lead to a corruption of file / data mean. And since I can reproduce this problem on a freshly recovered system * before * any operation others actions and installs, I'd be surprised to see that no one he met.

    My conclusion is that there is a problem with the distribution of Toshiba for this laptop. The file name for the collection was 06491XSP.swm.

    Try to update Windows Mail and see how it goes.

    I think that its been via WindowsUpdate.

    Otherwise, try the free (and big!) Mozilla Thunderbird

    I really wonder that many people do not read why this forum is created for. If you want to reply Toshiba guy form I'm afraid, you're on the wrong place.

    One thing is very interesting in both your subjects. You do the very dramatic issues described and to be honest I don't really know why. I don't know in what company you work and what kind of support do you but in your case with portable Toshiba L40, the situation is quite clear.

    In a first time on Windows XP Home edition: it is well known that for good work WXP portable designed Vista you need of the BIOS that takes in charge all the features of Windows XP Home edition (it should be version 5.10 so often discussed on this forum) and also all the necessary tools and utilities designed and tested for your laptop model. I assume that you have already visited the Toshiba download page.

  • Satellite L40 - 139 with the combination FN + volume problem

    Hello
    at first, I want to say sorry for may English. It's so good, but I'll try to explain my probblem.
    Yesterday I installed the XP system and everything works fine. After installation I can't press FN with the volume I want to say, some with works of function FN buttons, but some of them don't work. Only those function don't switch (FN + volume) volume of work and increase the volume level up/down(FN+ up/down arrow)

    Someone know how to fix/repair it?

    Marcin

    Satellite L40-139 belongs to the * PSL40E * series.
    Where did you find the Toshiba XP drivers for this laptop series?

    To my knowledge at THIS time the XP drivers are not released on the Toshiba driver page and so I guess that a driver missing XP or is not compatible BIOS might be the reason for you question.

    I think you have to wait until all drivers XP and BIOS XP will be available for you series!

  • Satellite L40-139: new graphics driver is causing the problem after waking from sleep

    I have a three month old Toshiba Satellite L40-139 (PSL40E) with 1 GB of RAM with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed. This laptop worked very well for me for the basic headquarters far tasks, and I would have no problem recommending.

    In the last days I've updated the software and drivers from the Microsoft Update web site.

    Since the update driver Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family (to version 7.14.10.1350, dated October 18, 2007), the screen resolution at 800 x 600 after awakening from the sleep state. The only way I found to fix it is to restart the PC.

    Other articles published on the web, I understand that this particular driver (Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family driver 7.14.10.1350 version) has caused many other problems on a variety of hardware and software platforms.

    Does anyone have a definitive solution for Satellite L40?

    I looked at four options.

    1. let the new installed driver and restart Windows each time after waking up from sleep mode. Rather, I must not do this.

    2. using the Restore Point created by Windows Update before the update of the driver, roll back to an earlier time. This seems to be a good course if it works.

    3 download an older version of the driver and reinstall it. I don't know which version would work but note that others have had success with the 7.14.10.1280 version. I guess a similar version could be included in the driver Package that can be downloaded from Toshiba Europe site, but have heard that the time required to download this software can exceed ten hours and am therefore reluctant to try.

    4. the fourth option is not really possible. I should be able to "Roll-Back" the driver in Device Manager, but the button is disabled.

    Although only a minor problem, it is very irritating and I would like to address them without causing other problems. Does anyone else have this problem? Someone has fixed it successfully?

    Hello Peter

    If I understand correctly, you use your usual laptop for daily work and you don't need any computer high-performance notebook. If I'm right I have to say that you should be happy if the laptop works well and stable.

    I don't really see any reason why you wanted to update chipset driver. In any case, you should try to roll back the BONES of time earlier and I hope everything will work again. There is absolutely no risk, and you can test it.

    Please post the result.

  • Strange problem on my Satellite L40-139

    I've been strugling with a problem for a while now, and I don't have a lot of aid assistance. Its like my new Toshiba has a memory problem, but I don't know if its caused by Windows Vista or if its HW related.

    This is what happens:

    When I surfed with IE7 og have 7 tabs open at the same time, his similar windows runs out of memory, all of a sudden I can not open a new tab and do a right click on the touchpad does not react. If I can minimize IE7 and right-click on the desktop nothing product.
    If I then close some programs (his only Yahoo Messenger og coreTemp running (coreTemp shows how hot your cpu and min is constantly between og 56 64 degrees celsius)), then right click works again.

    Usually when that happens, I can't even upward Task Manager, but if I close Yahoo Messenger so that I can, and now I see that it is used about 47% memory, under process I can see that:

    Yahoo uses up to 50MB
    IEXPLORER 27-150MB
    og Dwm.exe takes up to 120 MB.

    The problem also happens if Yahoo is not started, so this isn't the cause.

    I disabled aero and minimal use of all things Vista comes with, then the I me maximum performance following most of the instructions of www.Vistaguide.dk but the problem persists whenever I use IE and use more than 7 tabs (this should not happen, and using more than 7 tabs is perfectly normal).

    In addition to surfing the net, I use it for video playback with VLC or GOM player and music from Winamp. I don't play games.
    Here he is never short of memory.

    His Danish Vista Home Premium and in general I think it runs worse than what Home Basic on 2 GB of ram.

    My laptop is a Toshiba satellite L40-139:

    Intel Celeron M 520 clocked at 1.6 Ghz, 2 GB DDR II 667 Mhz (which fits the model), Toshiba 120 GB HDD S - ata, Atheros Wi - fi, 943GML chipset.
    Comes with Norton Internet security pre-installed.

    I put auto tunning high heat: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglev = high

    It has not solved the problem.

    Basically its like Vista is simply out of memory, but I can see in taskmanager which is not the case since there are only 47% of 2 GB of Ram with a 4096 MB swap file.

    What I don't understand, is that there are other people who have a similair system and they do not have this problem.

    I scanned for viruses and other dirt with Dr Web Cure and it found nothing, neither Norton.

    The things that I think could be causing this is:
    1 Norton Internet Security 2007, which could have a flaw that makes this place.
    2. the CPU is has a 533 Mhz FSB and Ram a 667 Mhz FSB (should be only a problem if the Ram is slower than the CPU). Memtest says they are OK.
    3 Vista has an error which allows to not release the memory again, but it stacks up just up until the error occurs.
    4. the fact that there is a flaw in my CPU or chipset.

    If its 4, the Toshiba has a program so I can test it?

    The problem has been there since I bought one even with th initial Ram inserted.

    I love hearing from Toshiba, which may be the cause/solution for this, and if someone else knows it please let me know, I can't be the only one.

    With greetings

    Hello Jan

    You are not alone with this. You won't believe me, but it happens on my two laptops. I use more Satellite M70 with WXP and Satellite P200D with Vista Home Premium. This strange issue with IE7 arrives on two laptops.

    I know with certainty that at the beginning M70 I didn t notice this problem. As you know anytime a Microsoft automatic update and maybe a few patches is responsible for this. Sorry, but I don't know what we can do. Only solution is to close IE7 and IE7 end process running in Task Manager.

    Just for example: I tested it with Opera browser and there is no problem at all. If you want you can test also.

    Just a tip;
    If you need an office application then I recommend OpenOffice.
    It s software open source similar to MS Office and you can use and download it for free!

    The issue of your pain.
    The painting is part of the Windows OS. It of not possible to uninstall it.
    File paint.exe is placed in the folder c:\windows\system32\

    There seems to be an error of operating system... maybe the system is confused upward...
    try to clean the operating system using the CCleaner...
    It cleans the registry and maybe it helps to get rid of this error...

    otherwise, you need to reinstall the operating system...

  • Satellite L40-139 - need driver Windows XP Home edition for 'ethernet '.

    Please can you send me the link to Satellite L40 ethernet control model of laptop for Windows XP Home edition?

    Hello

    Satellite L40-139 belongs to the PSL40E series. Am I wrong?
    You can check the serial number of your laptop. It should be placed somewhere at the bottom of the unit. Check all labels.

    Anyway, the Toshiba driver European page doesn't provide XP drivers for this series at this time. Seems you have to wait a bit until all pilots to be released!

    For the only moment that two versions of the BIOS for L40 PSL40E if released.
    The BIOS must be updated to the XP version, if you want to use XP on this laptop.

    By the way; It seems that this series is supported by the Base map - TX Ethernet Realtek 10/100.
    Then you can try the LAN driver from the site Web of Realtek. Should also work.

    Good bye

  • What card Firewire works with Satellite L40-139?

    I have Satellite L40-139 under Vista Home Premium.
    The laptop doesn't have a Firewire interface. He has a 54mm Express card slot. I would like to add a Firewire interface, so I can import video from a camcorder. If I understand correctly, it should be possible to install an Express card (34mm or 54mm will fit) which will provide the Firewire inputs.

    Although there are a lot of these cards on the market, there are also many stories of them does not not with Vista or some Toshiba laptops.

    Can someone advise please a card that is known to work with the L-series and with Vista?

    Thank you in advance.

    This is right.
    Satellite L40-139 supports ExpressCard location and so you can use an Express which has been equipped with a firewire interface card.

    You should google a bit, there are a lot of offers on the internet

    For example something like this:
