Satellite A100-680: PnP BIOS Extension missing driver

I searched for about one hour now, other threads from reading and the search manually through the database of the driver, but I can't find any useful information.

As you can see from the following screenshot...
[http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/3171/prtscr2.jpg]
... I am missing a driver.

I'm sure that the driver is listed, but it can also be saved under another name. This isn't something I'm infamiliar of searched a lot on other sites (Acer, HP, etc.) for drivers of other computers in my work.

Anyway.
The reason why this driver is missing on my * Satellite A100-680 * is that my antivirus detects it as a keylogger. This is not the first time that this happens, and I can easilly restore virus vault if I want to. However, this is something I really wish to do.

This problem also occurred with some of my audio drivers earlier, as well as the driver associated with TOSHIBA Hotkey functions. (Solved).

In order to check for me if my antivirus detects a false positive or not, I would like to find the driver and install it.
If after this my antivirus detects it as a keylogger, it was just all along.
If it detects it as a keylogger, I treat the result as a false positive and add it to the white list.

My Toshiba is a Satellite A100-680, running Win XP Home edition.
The version of the BIOS is "Phoenix Technologies LTD. 1.70, 11.05.2006" (from msinfo) (whether this info is helpful at all is beyond me...)
SMBIOS version 2.31 (new msinfo.)

If you need additional information in order to help me, please indicate what information you need.

  • Unposted on Satellite A100-680 mass storage controller

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A100-680 (PSAA9E) that has worked, XP Home, for about two years. Very satisfied!
    I decided to upgrade to Vista Business, which worked very well (actually impressed by the ease of installation).

    The machine works perfectly, there is only one irritating factor - under Device Manager - other devices I have something called mass storage controller and is not a driver loaded. I tried to locate one, but I have no idea of what to look for.

    Vista at one point suggested some Texas Instrument PCI device, but... Let me this way... Fortunately I have not reinstall because I had made a backup of the disc image.

    Can anyone give me a tip that I should look for.
    Thanks in advance
    Hans

    Really nice, your installation of Win Vista worked all right.
    For this device not recognized, I also think it's the Texas Instrument card reader.

    Go: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

    And download the Flash Media Driver and maybe the SD memory Format. Install them, reboot and the unit must be installed without any problem.

  • Water spilled on my Satellite A100-680

    Hey!

    I have an old (well okay, for me) veeeery Satellite A100-680, it's almost 6 years, and for about a year now it did not work properly. Whenever I look at a video on youtube which is longer than 5 minutes, it crashes.

    It's one of the problems - but I accidentally spilled perhaps half a teblespoon CLEAR WATER on the keyboard, and I took out the battery as fast as I could and started wipeing with a tissue.

    Then I tried with a blowdrier before I put it in the Sun to dry and now it is completely dry, but the keyboard still does not - I'm writing with another keyboard that I have connected to the laptop. But still, he supported his own letters and for example when I press BACKSPACE it presses ENTER.

    The carpet of mouse, or what you call does not work either and when I start the computer it said something about does not connect with the Intel prosessor.

    If I ruined my computer for good, or can I do?

    To me, it seems that the parts are damaged: keyboard and touchpad.
    Maybe the spilled water caused some shortcuts that has damaged the connection between the Council and the parties or parts

    Not sure if one only keyboard and touchpad replacement may help you resolve this problem. In the worst case, the motherboard needs to be replaced, but only a technician can provide the answer to this question once the equipment has been tested and verified

    Hello

    ACPI defines hardware and software interfaces that allow focus on the OS configuration and power management to enumerate and configure motherboard devices.
    For example: ACPI is necessary for the standby and hibernation mode.

    Now your question; the new BIOS has been updated and configured to using VISTA.
    It seems that VISTA was not compatible with the previous version of BIOS because the ACPI interface. Now you can install Vista on the laptop, but it seems that you need a driver. Possibly new chipset driver version might help. But as you probably know, the drivers are not available at this time. Unfortunately

  • Satellite A100 (PSAARA) spontaneous BIOS password

    Hi guys,.

    I have a problem, my Satellite A100 spontaneously put its own passwords BIOS and HARD drive. He also asked a fingerprint on startup (not on windows).

    My finger print works now, but for some reason, the laptop has put passwords in BIOS and HARD drive on his own, and he calls for them to start.

    The laptop is out of warranty.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards
    Scott.

    Alone! Strange. I use laptop computers for 10 years and have never heard of something like that.
    Anyway, if you want to remove password BIOS Toshiba service, you must visit and they can do it for you.

    Password BIOS is reasonable security feature and cannot be discussed in the public forum. I know that you realize that, right?

    Hi Jon

    According to the description of portable computer, you must be from Venezuela. Am I wrong? ;)

    I don't really know if Toshiba there is a support page for South America but a few guys out of here have had the same problem as you. I can't say for sure if you can use the update of the BIOS of the United States support site. I recommend you to call the partner of service authorized in your country. They work with this stuff and I'm sure they will be able to give you good info to 100%.

    The addresses and telephone numbers, which you will find under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true

    Bye and good luck!

  • Satellite A100 - 01 L (PSAAR): XP sound driver need

    Hello

    I need a sound driver for my laptop. It is a 01 L A100 (PSAAR). For PSAAR are just Vista drivers online... but I need one for XP... I tried all PSAA9 audio drivers... but they don't work! :(

    I don't know why... I hope toshiba will publish drivers for PSAAR for XP soon, too... anyone know what driver would work? (Sorry for my English... I am from the Germany)

    Hello

    The laptop uses a Realtek ALC861 audio chip.
    Therefore, take a look on the realtek site and download the driver that supports this chip!

    But it's very strange. Satellite A100 PSAA9E series uses the same sound chip and driver XP it works also on your laptop.

    A tip: If the sound card has been recognized in the Device Manager, the driver is OK. In this case, you will need to check the volume and controls.

  • Satellite A100-233 and 500 GB HARD drive

    HI, I need help. I have the Satellite A100-233 and seagate 500 GB 2.5 "HARD drive.
    I can install this HARD drive on my laptop?

    Put it inside and do a test. Why wait for an answer when you can find it on its own.
    It will be fine if yo9u may inform this community if it works well or not.
    This information is always welcome.

  • Satellite A100-237, which is the HARD drive more big, I can install?

    Hello!
    Can you guys help me. I have the Satellite A100-237
    I would like to buy a new HARD drive (250 GB or 320).
    What is the largest HARD drive can I install in this laptop? I couldn't find any info about it.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    The point is that there are no details or info on HARD drive sizes compatible max.
    If we can only speculate.
    Is the laptop seems to support SATA hard drives and in my opinion one 250 GB or more should work.
    But this is only a personal opinion, and it would be very interesting to know if a HDD 320 would work too.

    Please post some comments after you have upgraded the HARD drive.

    See you soon

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA9E) - Cannot install the display driver for Windows 7

    I have a problem with installing official Toshiba Windows 7 x 32 ATI x 1600 driver.

    After unpacking it should run install.exe, I think, but it's not; nothing happens. Go on the Setup.exe with installation manual, then I see no Catalyst Control Center & Display Driver from the list, just the catalyst install Manager & vcredist. After installing these components (CCC & DD) are not present.

    Any ideas?

    P.S. Same problem with the official driver of Toshiba Vista32 ATI x 1600.

    Hi mate,

    You have already installed other drivers for the laptop? I mean the chipset driver, this driver must be installed first.
    And are you sure that you have ATI display driver? Some Satellite A100 models were shipped with the nVidia graphics card, AFAIK.

    Moreover, what happens if you install driver manual in device via advanced installation manager?

    Hello

    As far as I know, this device is your laptop card reader and therefore you need to download the Flash Media driver from the Toshiba page.

    I checked the page but it s is only available for the 32-bit Vista or XP :(

    You can try a driver for another model laptop but there is no guarantee that it will work. Just check out ;)
