• Sound card is not after the downgrade from Vista to Xp on Equium L350

  Hi I have a Finalis L350 laptop computer and I've recently downgraded from Vista to XP.

  All other drivers work very well outside of my sound card.

  Does anyone know where to find the drivers I need for my laptop?

  I know what we call drivers

  VIA AC 97 Audio Controller (WDM and SIS 7018 Audio Driver)

  Only problem is that I don't know what those who work with my Toshiba L350 - 10L

  There are different versions of these drivers. No one knows everything everyone who it is?

  Thanks in advance :)

  Hello

  If you download the latest driver from realtek site (which belongs to this sound card since it s a realtek card) you can't do anything wrong. Just check www.realtek.com and download the latest being.

• Downgrade from Vista to XP Pro Dell Inspiron 6400: no sound, error Code 10

  Downgraded from Vista to XP Pro (V. 2002) on my Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop.  Have installed Service Pack 3.

  Audio will not play (I get beeps of warning system but that's all, there isn't a problem with the hardware).

  In Device Manager, there is a yellow exclamation by the "IDT High Definition Audio Codec" under sound, video and game controllers.

  Dxdiag shows NO device installed.

  NO device does appear as installed anywhere.

  I tried the updated drivers, did NOT work.  Get the error code 10.

  Automated fix - it doesn't include troubleshooting for audio.

  Does anyone have a solution?

  DM1313,

  This system comes with 3 different sound cards to choose from. You can view download driver sound options by clicking below.

  So, what problem do you have? I mean without knowing what problem you have, nobody can help you? Where is the problem?

• Need help with this problem without downgrading from Vista to XP pro.

  OK so I have a problem, but it is in a common category, it is a rare problem as given that everywhere I look I can't seem to find someone who has the same problem.

  Question #1: Heres Alright so my question downgrade from vista 64 bit of the month last to XP pro SP2... Well, I'm going through the process of installation very well, wipe the hard drive, make new partion (or how ever spell you it) etc. It starts the formatting, and it installs everything seems to be fine. Now when it comes to the reboot screen it counts down it restarts correctly now, this is where the problem occurs. During the restart of the process rather than continue through the installation process which should be, where it says "Press any key to boot from the CD" soon after that instead of going into the installation process it says "disc read error" or something of the sort just underneath. Help, please!

  Question #2 also now that I re installed vista I did all good also, erased the hard disk (even I tried to install XP on) just to make sure they had no data on this. Well now, during startup it asks if I want "a previous version of windows" or "Windows XP" as if I double started somehow. Vista loads still very well when I choose it however. If I managed to do an install own success of XP it should fix right?

  Thanks again.

  Hi Kevin112,

  Thanks for posting. Follow these steps on your XP disk.

  1. place your Windows XP installation CD and start to her...
  2. Press any button to start the Windows installation (don't worry... we do not actually use the installer at this point)
  3. wait a few moments for the installation program starts, when you see repair an installation of Windows XP using the Recovery Console, and then press the R key
  4. wait until you see this screen, enter the number of your master installation. (Typically 1 to C:\Windows)
  5. press ENTER.
  6. If you are prompted to do so, enter your administrator password. If you don't have one, leave the field blank and press to enter.
  7. from the command prompt, type: chkdsk/r (note the space between chkdsk and / r)
  Allow it to complete undisturbed.
  8. remove the disc, then restart.

  After completing this, then format it and try to reinstall XP again. As for your other question if completely format you your drive using XP you should not see the previous version of XP. The only reason you would see that it's the Vista BCD is located on a second hard drive in your computer. If this is the case and you want to do an install own format two readers please.

  I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

• Downgrade from vista to XP pro on Pavilion dv3-2005ee (need drivers)

  Hello

  I want to downgrade from vista to XP SP3 because some old games on does not work on vista as Hitman:codename 47 and TheSims... etc.

  Then... I need help to find the driver for this laptop. I did a forum search for my model and found nothing.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Before that we'll start with her, I have something to tell you. Decommissioning of this model is not always easy, and your model is designed to work well with Vista. Please check first that link written by Joshua Wood and concentrate on problems that may appear when you install the sound card in it. I don't know then it's dv5 guide, but a lot of hardware and drivers are the same for both models. It is recommended also by me to print this guide and information on the problems with the sound card.

  First make the Vista backup. Here you have all the information, how do.

  You have a folder with the drivers & programs that can prove very useful after downgrade XP. Copy the folder in C:\Swsetup on DVD Before you format your hard drive.

  Now you need to integrate your drivers Sata (only x 86 drivers) win nLite.

  Here is the guide how to do it and here are AMD SATA AHCI Controller for you. Just unRAR it drivers with winrar.

  Remember, also, that you use the Windows XP SP2 version. If you have not got the version SP2 here you can download this service pack

  and here you guide how to integrate this file with your new system of nLite.

  In this program, you can even burn your new XP cd with this driver.

• Downgrade from Vista to XP [DV2740SE]

  Hi all. I do a downgrade from Vista to XP and I can not foud the drivers.

  Can someone help me plese?

  THX.

  This Conexant posted to Skydrive is the same as the file Mediafire post by Mariza... which is, btw, his own personal discovery and seems better to work for a microphone. Get it if you have problems to Mediafire, like that sometimes.

  I think that Mariza said the Install.exe can be executed from it rather than having to use the Device Manager.

  Also, if I do not need to register with Mircosoft XP, where can I get the registration key of?

  Greatly forward a response.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  A downgrade from Vista to XP is possible. Why not?
  But as far as I know, so you need to reinstall the full specifications but in my opinion, this isn't a problem because you have the XP Recovery disk. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen.

  But before that, you you should burn the Windows Vista recovery disk. How do you know this? You need to start only the Toshiba recovery disc creator and you need a blank DVD. Then the Vista recovery disk will be created, and if you want new Vista, you must start only on this disc. That s all because it contains the settings factory and if all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

  If you have installed XP you must register it on Microsoft. It is not necessary.
  AFAIK, you must enter a product key. It of already on the recovery disk.

• Satellite L300 PSLB8A - cannot locate the WLan adapter after downgrading from Vista to XP

  Model - L300 Satellite PSLB8A-01F004
  Australian model
  Place of residence current UK

  Happy new year to you all. I have a problem with the adapter wireless following a downgrade from Vista to XP Pro home. Device Manager indicates that a network adapter, which is the LAN and it does not work properly.

  I have two points with one exception - Ethernet controller and Modem on Bus High Definition Audio device.

  I find all the major engines of the Toshiba Australia but he lists three (I think) site possible WLAN - Atheros, RealTek, and one of the other manufacturers.

  I tried all three without success but am willing to acknowledge that I can have a mistake, perhaps by installing all three drivers at the same time for example.

  The indicator on the front of the box portable wireless lights on or off with the hard switch setting.

  I am also unable to locate the display of all available wireless netrworks, this can be a symptom of the driver is not installed.

  I tried to locate the wireless card, but it doesn't seem to be accessible through the background panels, including the Panel of RAM module.

  Any ideas please?

  > I have two Articles with one exception - Ethernet controller and Modem on Bus High Definition Audio device.

  The Ethernet controller is the WLAN adapter.
  I guess that the WLan driver is missing and so the wireless network card does not appear under network adapters

  Hello!

  Downgrade from Vista to XP isn't very difficult and it should be possible that you can do yourself.

  You need at least one drive in Microsoft Windows XP with SP2. Boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. But you need the SATA drivers, the computer can recognize the HARD drive. For drivers, you need Intel Storage Manager, which can be downloaded on the site of Toshiba and this is workaround step by step how to do this:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

  If you have installed XP, you must install all the drivers and tools for this. All what you need you can find on the Toshiba site:

• Error message appears during the downgrade from Vista to XP

  I'm trying the last days to downgrade from vista to xp.
  Whe I try to do a clean installation Ikeep error 0x0000007b (0xF7A8A524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

  I also tried through the back (which I am not good at) repeat me something on the partion, which it is not.
  When I go through the windows if it says that the version is newer than the one you want to install.

  Hello

  If you want to use the Win XP instead of Vista, then you must do a clean install!
  The downgrade will not work because Vista is newer than XP.

  I put t know what laptop you have, but most of the new laptops support a SATA HDD controller and you must include the SATA drivers to install Win XP.

  In addition SATA drivers are a part of the Intel Storage Manager which should be published on the Toshiba page as well.

  Just a hint; Use the option search advanced this Toshiba forum there are a lot of discussions about this theme!

• Satellite A200-1NB: Question about downgrade from Vista to XP

  I bought a 1NB A200 and I intend to downgrade from Vista to XP.
  I would like to create a CD of tools and utilities, but do I need to do before the low grade or can I do after?

  Also, I have to change the BIOS for XP before you install on the system or install XP first and then modify the BIOS for XP after installation?

  Thanks for your help.

  *@Brown*

  Hello

  If possible, try to update the BIOS first, and then reinstall the operating system.

  I think you also need download all drivers Toshiba XP before installing XP on this OS. Without the LAN or WLan you will not be able to connect to internet ;)

  Good bye
