• Satellite A200-1AD - downgrade from Windows XP Home edition

  I've read all the other different threads around the upgrade/downgrade to XP, but I have a few questions.

  1. What do I need to change the BIOS before I start to replace Vista by XP or can I wait until I loaded the base XP and then make the BIOS change?

  2. If I try and update the BIOS for XP and it crunches the laptop is covered by the warranty?

  If the 2 answer is Yes, then I'll save a step by step process that I do to change the operating system from Vista to XP. Any help much appreciated.

  Hello Ken

  All I know is some BIOS designed for Windows XP Home edition for computer series laptop Satellite A200. I installed Windows XP Home edition on my A200 but some FN keys do not work properly. Other stuff works well and WXP turns quite quickly.

  I recommend installing WXP without updated BIOS to see if there is a serious problem. If this is not the case, leave such BIOS what.

  Thank you

  I checked the - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp - Toshiba download page first to see if your machine is supported for Win7. Yes. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities can be downloaded.

  Generally installation Win7 should not be so problematic. Are you using the original installation disk Microsoft Win7?
  To be honest I don't understand what is happening with your machine and the BIOS.

  You find useful instructions on changing mode BIOS - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm

  What happen exactly when you change the boot mode? Can start Windows installation?

• Re: Install Satellite P855-31V - Downgrade from Windows 7 and driver

  I recently bought my first PC Toshiba laptop and after a few tries with W8, let it downgrade to the previous version, which I am owner of a valid license to the Pro edition.

  I checked what wlan card I had installed (my PC "information" is below) and downloaded all of the 44 available support files.

  I updated the bios to 6.50, load the values by default, changed the "secure starting" to disable and also changed the "boot mode" at the start of the csm. This allowed me to install W7.

  I start to install the drivers: chipset, driver Intel, Intel Management Engine Interface, rapid storage technology driver and even more and that's when things start to get ugly--some drivers don't are not supported under W7, nvidia drivers do not recognize video card, to restart after installing some of drivers windows starts complaining and trying to fix things. A mess.

  I smear the order to install it? If so, can anyone view the correct procedure? There are 44 files, some with names like 'Toshiba System Driver', 'register Patch'... I don't know when these install, as well as some other files do not have a description says.

  If W7 may not work properly on this machine I'll have to upgrade W8 Pro (I need remote desktop) and will have one more time to install all the drivers, so it still takes the correct order to install drivers and utilities.

  Thanks in advance for any helpful input.

• Cannot install Windows XP Home on Satellite Pro L450D-12 X

  Hi people

  I have been using Windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L450D-12 X. But because he of been running very slow, I decided to put windows xp on it.

  So I put the drive in a two set windows xp and when he gets two the part were I need to press on enter, a blue screen comes on. I checked the laptop and its all ok, I even took the HD set windows xp upwards with her on some pc and it works fine.

  But as soon as I put the HD in my laptop it won t charge up are anything... IF anyone can help me with this, it will be a great help.

  Thank you very much for taking the time to two read this.

  At first, I must say that your laptop is designed for Win7 and maybe you should continue to use Win7. Problem is that laptop with the factory settings is quite slow but it can be changed. What you need is to optimize Win7 preinstalled. Check out this forum and you will find many threads with good description and detailed what we can do about it.

  According to specification for laptop, your laptop comes with WIN7 32 BIT PROFESSIONAL & XP DVD.
  You have problems when you try to use this DVD WXP that you got with your laptop?

• Downgrade from Windows - 8 updates from Windows-7 Pro-Windows-8 causing of programs; Troubleshooting and problems

  Dear Microsoft community team,
   
  I installed the Windows (27) - 8 and Office 2010 updates yesterday that was recommended in the notifications of security & systems.
   
  After installing these updates (27) in my HP Envy h8 - 1520t PC, my programs said crash and stop and start automatically. This has been a recurring problem with the updates of Windows-8 that I installed in my new PC.
   
  As a result, I am unable to play my favorite games, use applications and have constant program blocks.
   
  I am very disappointed with these problems. I bought a copy of OEM OS-Windows 7 PRO 64 bit and would like to downgrade from Windows-8 to-Windows 7 PRO 64-bit OS. Can you please provide me with instructions to install Windows - 7 PRO on my PC?
   
  I spent countless hours online and search for bugs on the web sites of Microsoft for Windows-8 updates of the anomalies and corrections, with no resolution. HP has no alternative but to contact Microsoft support. I can't find a link email Microsoft support anywhere.
   
  Please help me as soon as possible. Many individuals have downgraded to Windown-8 to-Windows 7 PRO with positive results on their HP Envy h8 - 1520 t PC. I never had a problem with the Windows 7 operating system.
   
  Sincerely,

• Satellite Pro L450D-14V - scroll function stopped working

  Hello, sorry for the bad post (novice!)

  I have windows 7 32 bit preinstalled with preinstalled rescue disk program (made on the two discs). Model is Toshiba Satellite Pro L450D-14V (2 GB of additional RAM installed, was only 1 GB). It has been provided directly at BT, after winning a competition.

  When scrolling to work stoppage, it was presented in the control panel/mouse that I could click on and get parameters which is the case of the Green/horiz. Bearer of buttons are even though they in grayed out when I tried to click them.

  Since the mucking with drivers I have now that I lost the functionality of touchpad synaptics, it only has a PS/2 compatible mouse, but all I have is the touchpad, workingl still without scrolling?

  Thank you for your interest

  Sigull (Tony)

  Hi Tony,.

  Welcome here in the forum! No problem regarding your assignment, it of not difficult and we can discuss here everything about Toshiba laptops! :)

  The scrolling feature is controlled by a touchpad driver you've already written and if you have lost this function I recommend reinstalling the driver from the official site of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  On this page are two drivers listed: Alps Electric and Synaptics. You must install two drivers!
  After that, you should be able to use the new virtual scrolling :)

• Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X at turns on

  First of all, Hello to everyone.
  I have the weirdest problem ever with my satellite pro L450D - 12 X.

  There's the laptop has not turn once when I pressed the power button, a few lights led lights and kicking in the fan for a few seconds and nothing.
  It seemed that it was on but the screen was completely empty.
  I then turned it and turn it on again and it worked as usual.
  A few days later, he did the same thing, but he did not come until the 3rd attempt it turn on and off.

  As time passed, it took more time and more time to get the thing to kick and actually start.
  There are no other problems. All of a sudden, I found myself sitting there for about 30 minutes by train to start, turning it works, but nothing works. I looked online and tried all sorts of things, but nothing has worked.

  I took apart to see if I could see all the problems, but everything went well... but as I put it all back together, it worked again - I did not move anything. I got with the laptop with a couple of days and then all of a sudden it started to do even once, until it lights all new (it did not last long this time however).

  I recently participated AGAIN and cleaned up a bit, and it's the same thing, this has worked two or three times and then denied comes on.

  What's happening on Earth?
  Why it only works for a while after I remove all the screws and look at the motherboard?
  It's as if he's happy when I'm looking at him--it's like a needy teenager, trying to get "like" on facebook.
  I can't keep opening up just to get a value of days of use out of it... It's driving me crazy.

  Anyone know what could be the problem? I have tried to format the HARD drive too.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  To be honest I have don t think that someone here in the forum would be able to say exactly why this happens. My first thought was that a problem of memory could be responsible for this dysfunction, but given that the laptop could be activated after a certain time, I suppose a motherboard or CPU issue would be the troublemaker.

  I guess there is no other method of troubleshooting to replace the affected parties and to check if the question seems once again, or could be resolved.

  Of course, if you wish, you can also visit the technician from downtown just to perform certain diagnostic tests.

  Sorry mate for this general view, but it of really difficult to talk about these hardware problems.

• Satellite Pro L450D-12 X - Wireless card in the process of disappearance

  Hi guys,.

  So, I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro (L450D-12 X) in my possession.

  She has 8 installed inside windows (but came pre-installed with windows 7).

  The problem I face is that, suddenly, the wireless still endangered, literally as no wireless card exists - but there is a wireless card.

  I was able to fix it by reinstalling windows 8 OS. It worked only for a little while and then it disconnects / disappears. No wireless in the "map settings" icon Only the "ethernet" adapter
  Cannot search or browse for wireless network either.

  Since the fix above was not permanent, started the service that controls the card wireless among others who are associated with what this either wireless (don't remember the name) - it worked again.

  Now it has stopped. Well, I'm not with the laptop at the time, I said there and all attempts to restart the service via the phone, does not provide any solution.

  Any ideas guys?

  All responses appreciated.

  Problem is that your laptop model is NOT supported for Win8.
  What WLAN driver have you installed?
  Where did you find?

  When you are faced with this problem wireless network card is listed in the Device Manager?

• Performance on a Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista problems

  Can someone help me with this.
  My laptop is a new Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista.

  I had my last configuration less portable, but you know what? He was faster!

  I'm supposed to have cetrino duo 2, 2 GHz and cach of 4 MB, FSB 667 MHz, RAM 1 GB, even though they are at 533 MHz, 100 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive / MIN.

  It is slow, not only starting, programs opening, plays something, the browser and even to copy from the CD to the hard drive sometimes give me time 4 days left!

  Clicking on something takes forever. What's wrong?
  Need less to say that with vista no and I mean none, of my devices are busy. Dongle Bluetooth, USB disk, printer, NAS, and and...

  Hey dude,

  Please don t forget that Vista has been installed on your laptop and the additional tools of Toshiba and the utilities that control many additional features!
  There is a huge difference between Vista and early Microsoft operating systems.

  The Vista eat computer resources and many devices old don t work or cannot be installed because the 3rd device manufacturers don t provide Vista drivers!

  In my opinion an upgrade to 2 GB ram would increases the performance of laptop.
  All programs and utilities could be loaded more quickly

• Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X - reset to factory settings after formatting

  Hello

  I tried upgrading my installation of Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 ultimate. I ended up format the partition and now Windows will not load and the installation hangs right on 0%. I don't have a disc of recovery for this laptop, is it possible to access the recovery partition on this laptp to reset to factory settings or a restore CD I can order and it will work?

  The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X

  Hey Buddy,

  If you have already formatted the Windows partition, you are not able to start the recovery of HARD drive more. Also there is no possibility to access the recovery files and start them, so the pre-installed operating system is necessary.

  The only option you have is Toshiba recovery disc. Only with this drive, you can restore the original settings of the box but I m wondering why you have n t a. It s mentioned in the user manual you have to create yourself

  In any case, just order a disc here and be happy ;)

  > I noticed now that the DVD player has an exclamation mark next to it in the BIOS but I don't know what that means?

  Perhaps, you talk about the Device Manager but not Bios.

  CD/dvdrom was working before a virus attack? are you sure that you insert a bootable windows disc?

• Cannot exceed on Satellite Pro L450D-12 X BIOS password screen

  A friend gave me a laptop to watch. His windows password was not recognized. She asked me to perform a password reset. I tried to get into the BIOS to change the boot order and requested a password. My friend doesn't know the BIOS password.

  Than trying to get into the BIOS, whenever I start the laptop, it always goes to BIOS password entry screen. How to start windows log on screen and he asks me the bypass BIOS password?

  The laptop model is satellite pro L450D - 12 X

  > How to start the windows log on screen and he asks me the bypass BIOS password?
  BIOS password is very important security feature and you cannot bypass so simply.
  To be honest, to discuss this topic on the public forum is pretty crazy, isn't it?

  Each notebook stolen with BIOS password would be easy to start and data would be not protected at all.

  It is unwise to chat about it. In any case, BIOS password can be removed by only authorized personnel, so contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and they will help you with this.
