Reinstalled Windows XP now WLAN is not recognized - Satellite Pro L20

I reinstalled Windows XP on my Satellite Pro L20.

In Device Manager, I have a number of yellow question marks, which means that the operating system has not installed the drivers and therefore does not recognize the device.

I downloaded the v5.3.0.35 Atheros Wireless Lan Driver Atheros dated 09/12/07 and tried to install these next to the 'Network controller' device, but nothing helped.

Someone has an idea of what I might hurt or something else I could try? Sole purpose of the laptop is wireless connectivity, so I'm anxious to get this sort.

Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.

Hello Thomas

It will be interesting to know what L20 you exactly (L20 - xxx). It will be easier to identify what material is built into it.

Anyway, as far as I know this laptop comes with operating system Windows XP Home edition and will be best solution to install using the supplied OS recovery media. The OS will be installed just after 20 minutes and all the hardware components are configured correctly.

Of course, you install OS on your own. On the download page of Toshiba just follow instructions order facilities and avoid all the problems.

Back to the Atheros WLAN card. After you download the driver Atheros for Windows XP Home edition, open the folder INSTALL and run the setup.exe file. What happens when you do this?

  • CD not recognized - Satellite Pro A120

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro A120 with Windows Vista professional. I have a problem with the DVD player (Mat * a DVD - RAM) because sometimes when I insert a CD of the software, the disk turns but does not recognize the drive.

    I tried different CD, but the problem is the same. I can only solve the problem by restarting the computer. That always seems to happen unless the PC has barely started.

    I installed the latest version of the BIOS and still have the problem.

    Hello

    Hear you the CD cannot be read or the AutoPlay window does not appear?
    Have you used the CD s compatible?

    In the manual, you should find a list of compatible CD s & s DVD.
    But be aware that the user guide lists only the manufacturers of CD and DVD and NOT sellers like TDK or Verbatim, etc...

    In the internet, you could find some freeware software that finds this which is the manufacturing of CD or DVD.
    Then, you can compare your CD/DVD with compatible manufacturers manufacturing and supported in the operating manual.

    If the CD or DVD is not listed as compatible support or supported various compatibility problems could appear.

    I reciently reinstalled windows and now the fence, restore down and minimize buttons are not mixed together. they are indervidual buttons. Have all the updates and service pack installed.

    I saw the screen shot, I think that Aero is disabled, or the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service is disabled or stopped. Try to run the troubleshooter 'display the Aero effects. " And when firstly, you had the drivers that do NOT support Aero and then updates, Windows does NOT automatically update the settings. You must recaulculate the computer for Aero Performance Index is enabled.

    Or you can see more help on this page, which contains explanations of the Aero and a link to a Web page for downlading an application which solves the problems.

  • Need to reinstall windows, but does not have any CD - Satellite Pro L20

    Hi, I wanted to reinstall Windows XP home on my Satellite Pro L20, but do not have the software that my laptop came with (read the discs lost). I have a valid XP tone (like its stuck on the bottom of my laptop), but no disc so I tired using a copy of a cd of Windows XP home, which did not work, but let me go as far as the formatting of the hard drive.

    So now I use Ubuntu, but want to reinstall Windows. Have valid product key, but no software to reinstall.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Christopher

    Valid key will not help you. This key belongs to the image recovery and copy included WXP he.
    If you have two options. Either you order original Toshiba recovery image or use Microsoft installations CD key which belongs to this copy. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

    Hello!

    Do you have the yellow marks or unknown devices in Device Manager?

    In your case I'd do an update of the BIOS if you n t have the most recent version, and Yes, you have an Atheros WLAN card, so you need Atheros driver.

  • Just upgraded to Windows 10, now Indesign does not open

    As the title suggests, just upgraded to Windows 10, now indesign does not open. It is interesting to other applications CC open, but no indesign. When I try to open from the finder, I get an error indicating that the file ddl virtual studio c ++ 110.dans is missing. I tried all the normal things to make it unmissing, but they do not seem to work.

    If I try to open indesign CC, nothing happens. No error, nothing, I'm just pressing an empty button.

    Thank you.

    Hello, I had actually already tried using the tool unistaller. All uninstalled, then reinstalled, which did NOT work.

    I was upgrade to Windows 8.1 for windows 10.

    I managed to get InDesign to work as follows:

    1. Everything uninstalled uninstaller of windows (and not via CC).
    2. At running the Adobe uninstaller tool (it has not found anything however).
    3. After I installed CC, I noticed that CC has reinstalled the package to redistribute C++ 2008 I've heard causes problems.
    4. I uninstalled then manually C++ 2008 package, but left 2012 and 2015.
    5. Then I installed InDesign. When I installed indesign it installed a few other packages C++, but... Responsible inDesign! Still a bug or 3 but it works at least.

    It worked for me.

    I had to reinstall windows on my laptop. Not sure what happened to my cd restore xp but I have a genuine windows xp disk. tried to install this and using the product key from the sticker on my laptop. It comes up saying unauthorized key.  Is this because my laptop is of the Germany and my cd is in English? Can I use my key with any version of XP or should it be the recovery CD for Toshiba I got when I bought it.

    Uninstall what you can the normal way via the Control Panel, and then use the CS cleanup tool.  Then try to reinstall. You might want to try an installation download rather than the disc if it continues to fail.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - original drive not grateful

    Hello

    Ive looked for forums and the internet in general but was unable to find anything related to my problem.

    Recently, I removed the my Satellite Pro L20 original hard drive and replaced by a spare part just to test another operating system. I didn't wipe my existing windows of the original OS.

    However, now if I place the original hard drive in the laptop, it does not recognize it in the BIOS at all. The original works of disk of 60Go perfectly in an external USB caddy on the laptop, but used in their own country. At first, thought it might be the drive so I bought a new drive of 250 GB, but again, not recognized.

    Reading, I think that the original drive is an EIDE drive and I don't think that the replacement of 12 GB is drive I put in temporarily. Ive also tried reflashing the BIOS, hoping that might solve the problem, but without any luck again.

    Could you get it someone please let me know how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Martin

    Hello

    This s very strange problem you have deleted first disk of 60 GB, then you have reinserted and the BIOS doesn t recognize now 60 GB HARD drive.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - recovery utility hangs and does not complete

    Hello.

    I've been running my L20 Pro Satellite for two years now, quite happy. Unfortunately, in the last 3 months, he began to misbehave. The startup time stretched to 5-10 minutes by that I mean time spent in "black" screen between the initials XP boot logo and the bright blue splash screen Windows. Playing sound/media crackled and stuttered badly through the loudspeaker. So, being reasonable technical, I've read various articles forum tried MSCONFIG tweaks here and there, removed all viruses etc... Nothing helps.

    I began to suspect a HARD drive problem. CHKDSK has not shown any errors. I finally resolved to back up my data and attempt a complete recovery. (Virgin!)

    Unfortunately, this is going to plan. medium 90% up to the end of the NVA Toshiba Recovery Utility 1.0.1.0 I think, started making subtle beeps and stopped on the 'X:\03596002 '. File of the GHS. The Green HARD-drive activity light has renounced his reassuring twinkling. Nothing.

    Any suggestions tips out there? I am currently in the State where he can not start (no NTLDR found).

    Help.

    Thank you.

  • Satellite Pro L20: battery not charge when the power adapter is connected

    Hello

    all advice appreciated.

    I had a Satellite Pro L20 for about 18 months. Recently, battery does not charge when the power adapter is connected. The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile. However the ACPI often said that AC is "offline."

    There are two recent occurrences that coincide with this problem, I try to eliminate:

    1. my friends rat chewed by the feeder for pets! Power is Mobile OK insofar as he fled sector - the rat seems to have simply chewed by the outer cover (I see some threads, but I think that is just a shield, although I'm not an electrician).

    2. I put the laptop in hibernation for the first time. That seemed to mess up the system a bit, which was what initially drew my attention to the problem. This question is a bit complicated because I'm under Linux (Xubuntu).

    I updated the drivers etc from windows when I bought the laptop. Never had any problems until now and have been running linux for centuries. Also, I have mainly the laptop the power supply turned off, but do not remove the battery (is that really a problem these days?)

    I obviously need to replace the adapter, but is - it is likely (and how I can check) that the battery was borked until?

    see you soon
    Chris

    First, please check if the other are lit.
    If the AC led and power led are on the adapter sector is ok and it provides the power to the laptop.

    > The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile
    If the battery LED is yellow, this means that the battery is not fully charged and if the Green led changes then recharging is caught and the battery has been recharged.

    So I really don t see any problems with the charge process.

    Maybe the battery is old and so you cannot use it for an extended in such a case only the replacement of the battery could help.
