Satellite A305 - access a card SDHC on XP

Hello
I recently bought an A305D-S6851 with Vista and downgraded to XP.
Everything works great and it's great, but recently, I wanted to use the slot for memory card and load my 4 GB SDHC memory card, but I put it and nothing happens.
I have the drivers for the slot installed correctly, and after searching the forums, I discovered that I need a XP - KB934428 fix. I installed it and it does not solve the problem, and then I saw another post saying KB923293 that sorted. Once again, installed and nothing.

So I'm in a bit of a dead end here. Drivers? Check. Patches? Check.
In fact, I doubt that it's a problem of laptop because I go through the same process of problem solving on a desktop computer with a USB card reader and it can also read the card.
However, this isn't the card because until I moved to XP on the laptop I managed to access it with the slot with any problem.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Len

Have you tested with 1 or 2 GB card? Is the result the same?
What is with the other compatible cards? Have you tested some of them?

  • Toshiba Satellite A305 - S6898 USB malfunction

    Greetings and Salutations,

    I have an interesting dilemma with my Satellite laptop. Whenever I try to use the USB ports for devices in addition to my hub, keyboard and mouse, I get the error "USB device not recognized" infamous. Of course, this means that the unit does not operate. This happens on any of the three USB ports on my computer, but NOT with my keyboard, the mouse, or the hub they are connected.

    Now, lets hit some suggestions out of water before I give myself, because so far, I tried pretty much everything that has been suggested for this problem.

    I tried to uninstall the ports and allowing Windows to reinstall the drivers after reboot. That did not correct the error.

    I tried formatting the computer completely and put on a new installation of Windows. That did not correct the error.

    I tried the fix 'disconnect the computer's power. I left said computer turned off and disconnected from any source of energy for more than twenty-four hours. That did not correct the error.

    I updated the BIOS OF THE system to the latest version. That did not correct the error.

    There is no virus or malware in the system that can cause this error, as I indicated above, I formatted the system entirely, and he failed to correct the problem.

    I went into Device Manager with devices hidden showing and removed all USB devices hidden, disconnected from the past. This did not correct the error either.

    Essentially, I tried just about everything has proposed as a possible solution and come up with nothing. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's either BIOS or related material, but it is meaningless for me something associated material would allow SOME devices (keyboard, mouse and Hub) to function, while others do not.

    If anyone has a solution I've tried there, please let me know. Specifications system and operating system to follow.

    Toshiba Satellite A305-S6898

    Hello

    Given that you re-installed Windows pointing to a hardware problem, however there may be a required chipset or
    another driver from Toshiba. Check with Toshiba Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask
    in the forums about known issues with your model.

  • Satellite A305-S6858 win XP video driver does not

    I recently bought a Satellite A305-S6858 in the States and I went down the Edition Vista Home premium preinstalled
    for Win XP 32 sp 3. I had several problems to lift the computer up and running. After reading several posts
    on various forums, I managed to install the OS, but I still cannot use the Intel video driver.
    After the installation of those available on the toshiba site I still have in the Device Manager under the node for the video card
    2 entries for 965 Chipset Mobile with an exclamation point.
    I recently discovered that not having is not the video driver installed the operating system does not allow Stanby and Hibernate power options.
    If someone has stumbled in the same issue?
    Thank you

    You must install the basic drivers first.

    Try to install the driver for the Chipset Intel first, then the display driver.

  • Satellite A305-S6829 I would like to disable the touchpad

    I recently updated my laptop A305-S6829 of Windows Vista to Windows 7. I use a laptop mouse and I want to disable the touchpad.

    Unfortunately, the touchpad does not appear on my device manager and FN + F9 does not work either.

    Please help me. Thank you.

    Hello

    First of all; It is a model of laptop series Toshiba us.
    Usually, it takes use drivers from this page:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    But it seems that Win 7 drivers are not published on this page for Satellite A305-S6829
    That's why I think that you could choose the page European driver of Toshiba touchpad drivers. Here you can choose the A305 or A300 series.
    I think you could also choose other touchpad Win 7 drivers to the most recent series of laptop.
    Please install the drivers for the touchpad and check if the FN + F9 key would work.

    Note! If no FN key doesn't work, you need to install VAP (value added package) and Support of Flash Card Utility

  • Satellite A305 - error message keep appearing from

    Hello, I have a Satellite A305-S6857 laptop
    A few days ago to XP downgrade Vista. It worked well but suddenly yesterday when I restart windows,.

    * the system has recovered from a mistake of the serosa

    A log of this error has been created

    For more information about this error, click here * so I clicked and it said

    error signature
    BCCode: 1000007e BCP1: C0000005 BCP2: BA430F76 BCP3: BA513C94
    BCP4: BA513990 OSVer: 5_1_2600 SP: 3_0 product: 256_1

    So I simply ignored, did cancel but it keep poping up and I made reports but it did not work either.
    So I restart again but still the same. Every time I have restart this pop-up.

    So I googled on this topic and I've done something and I think after I did uninstall and reinstall a driver GMA an another error message too. It says * the Publisher could not be verified. are you sure you want to run this software? * and I say yes, he shows me another one same thing 3times.

    It's really annoying and after that I got a few messages pop up, my computer has become slow and sometimes it stopped

    help me guys...

    > He says that the Publisher could not be verified. are you sure you want to run this software?
    Maybe something wrong with the graphics card driver or other software which is not certified by Microsoft

    Did you use some third-party software, tools and 3rd applications?
    Have you installed the drivers from Toshiba or other websites of third 3rd page?

    Check the msconfig-> Start up tab and take a look at the list of background processes.
    If there are some applications that are not known to you, then turn it off.

    In the worst cases, you need to reinstall the OS.

  • I want to install Win XP on Satellite A305-S6905

    Hello.

    I want to downgrade my Vista to XP because of problems and slow down my PC...
    For example I can't download updates antivirus, games etc...

    I read in the forum that I need some kind of sata drivers and those I can do myself, but someone can help me with other drivers because I use this laptop for an hour and I know not what drivers there need.

    If someone could give me links to the necessary software, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I think that you couldn't find the right drivers XP because you didn t find on the right-hand page.
    Like you probably n t know that this series of laptop (Satellite A305) belongs to Toshiba from US and you have to find good drivers on Toshiba U.S. page!
    http://www.toshibadirect.com/TD/B2C/home.to

    In addition, if you want to install Win XP on laptop thin, you will need to install the SATA drivers first.
    The SATA drivers are on Intel Storage Manager part which can be downloaded from the Intel and Toshiba page page as well.

    But if you don t want to install SATA drivers, there is another possibility to install the XP.
    Just access the BIOS and set the compatible SATA to AHCI mode.

    That s it.

  • I can't activate the operating system on my Satellite A305-S6857

    I have laptop Satellite A305-S6857.

    A few days ago my computer did not work well.
    So I did format and reinstall the Vista trial version because I lost my CD of vista.

    Then after I tried to turn on but did not work. I put my product key at the bottom of my computer.
    I'm really horrible at the computer.
    Now, I can't use my internet and everything.

    because I don't know where are the driver files. Can someone help me?

    Tell me where are the driver files and why wasn't my product key.

    The button on the underside is not a kind of universal key and it will not activate your Vista. This key belongs to the recovery image, that you got with your laptop. If you use the Microsoft CD/DVD facilities, then get the original key. If you don't have it you can activate it online.

    Before that, configure all hardware and internet access. All the drivers, tools and utilities for this model of laptop you can find on US Toshiba support page - http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp

  • Cannot connect by Satellite A305 Linksys WRT160N wireless

    I have a Satellite A305-S6839 with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium that I tried to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless - N WRT160N router but I am unable to get the service.
    I can configure the router and it transmits properly, but for some reason that I can't connect to it. I tried to reboot several times that the manufacturer suggested unplugging the cables, but that did not work. I suspect that there are drivers I need to download for this operation.

    Someone give some advice?

    First, visit the Toshiba support site we and install the latest BIOS and Wifi Driver.

    Second, try to change the Wifi settings-Wifi card-> properties > Device Manager. Increase power output, select "802. 11 g-only", turn off energy-saving.

  • Connection problems Hotmail account on Satellite A305-S6909

    I experienced a problem connecting to Hotmail using IE8 on my Toshiba laptop. I posted this problem for Windows Live and my anti-virus. The two parties have not solved the problem after 2 months. The issue started around November 20, 2009. I think it may be related to a security upgrade or CrashFree upgrade.

    Information on the basis of the problem:

    When you sign in on Hotmail on IE8, I firstly have a message that my password is incorrect. If I try to log in again, I get the login screen (no message). If I choose the enhanced security Option, my browser allows to browse several blank screens before expiring. The site of hotmail then sends a message that the site is down, etc. Also, I can connect in the rest of the Windows Live, including MSN.com. When I connect to MSN.com, I can see the sidebar that shows the last 5 emails on my hotmail account. I just can't access these emails. I have no problem with any other website.

    Where this problem does not -

    1. this problem does not exist when you use FireFox.
    2. in Safe Mode with networking, this problem does not occur on IE8.

    Attempts at a solution-

    1. I worked with my anti-virus software tech support to confirm that hotmail is not blocked by the firewall. I have confirmed that it is not a virus affecting the program.
    2. with the Windows Live team, I went through the entire process of clearing cache, flushing the dns, restoration... I reloaded even IE8 on my system.
    3 Windows Live suggested that I use Fiddler Cap in order to acquire more information. This program generates an error when I try to run it. However, it works when I run it in Mode without failure.

    Laptop: Toshiba Satellite A305-S6909
    OS: Vista 64-bit
    Browser: Internet Explorer 8 (32-bit)

    Hello

    I don t use Hotmail but it is really strange. In my opinion, it has something to do with the settings of Internet Explorer, because everything does work with Firefox. Theoretically, this means that nothing is blocking your connection and AntiVirus/firewall doesn't block these connections in Hotmail.

    In the Internet Explorer options, you have different areas, like trusted sites, restricted sites, etc.. In your case, I would like to add MSN page you need to trusted sites.
    In addition block you / allow Cookies of some Web pages. Make sure that Cookies are not blocked.

    All that s what I can tell and the time and I hope that I could help you! :)

    Hey,.

    To be honest I don t understand your problem... Why are you looking for other drivers? What is so important or better? I don t think so

    You should read the announcement of Quad. Toshiba offers clean and * pretested * see the drivers they will work 100%. In addition, they have overheating protection so I put t understand why you're looking for other drivers.

    Prior to installing the most recent Toshiba display driver, remove the old version and restart your laptop. Then start the freeware CCleaner tool to clean the registry and reboot again. After that install the Toshiba display driver, everything should work now or not?

  • Satellite A305-S6902 - need drivers for Win XP ethernet

    Help...

    I have a portable satellite A305-s6902 which had Vista Home above,
    I formatted the computer and put xp on it.

    * Now, I can not find xp drivers * for chipset, network controller, ethernet controller, peripheral pci, base device system, mobile intel 4 series.
    I went to the toshiba site, and none of the drivers working for it.

    Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?
    T
    Hank you in advance for your help...

    Hello

    Satellite A305-s6902 seems to be a series of laptops Toshiba us and you should look for first on the page of the Toshiba driver we:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp?NAV=download

    If you will not find the correct drivers XP then you will have to try to collect the drivers of your own hands.
    You can try to install drivers released for models on the European driver Toshiba Sat A300 page.

    -chipset-> general, this must be an Intel chipset and so the pilot is also found on the Intel page
    -Ethernet controller-> This may be a LAN or WLan card. Check what Wlan and LAN card has been integrated, and then visit the page of the manufacturer of the WLan and LAN card driver.
    -pci device-> I don't very well but maybe it s m a driver for card reader

    The other drivers mentioned are not necessary

  • Satellite A305-S6905 and Web Cam questions

    I apologize if there's another thread for this particular model and the question, I'm just extremely frustrated and after hundreds of searches through google, toshiba and chicony, I can't find a solution. My laptop {Toshiba Satellite A305-S6905} was originally Vista when buying. My uncle put upgraded to Windows 7 and in addition to the fact that he constantly tells me that "this copy of Windows is not genuine", my web cam suddenly stopped working. It worked fine on Vista.

    I uninstalled camera Assistance and reinstalled more than 8 times. I * think * I reinstalled the driver, but whenever I open (or try to open) helps the camera, I get the message: "Webcam is disabled or has failed." Please check your webcam settings '. I opened the Device Manager, but the Chicony webcam is not listed. Nothing about the webcam is listed. I restarted my laptop... believe me, I almost tried everything. I noticed that a lot of upgraders from Vista to Windows 7 have the same problem. Last resort, I decided to come on the website of the manufacturer of my laptop. I would appreciate help.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    If there is no entry in the Device Manager, it's quite strange. If the device works properly it is listed under imaging devices like Chicony camera.
    Somehow, it seems that there is no link between the cam and the motherboard.

    All you can do now is to test the functionality with the settings and see if the problem persists.
    If the situation will be the same, you should contact the closest service and leave technician to check the cam feature.

    So I have to buy something like an extended warranty that I could apply in the Czech Republic.

    Hmm, don't think it will be so easy in your case
    Always is it that your laptop was designed for the American market.

    Hello

    To me, it looks like a serious hardware problem
    I think that as a first step, the RAM should be checked
    You should try to switch on the laptop using that one module in different locations

    If this will not help, then another part may be affected. CPU, motherboard, etc.
    In most cases it of not possible to say what role could be faulty

    Generally, a hardware diagnostic test must be done to get the details on the problem
    In m opinion that a technician should be contacted if your warranty is valid, then everything should be done free fro
