Satellite C50T-A382 - updated to Win 8.1 Pro & touchscreen support

Dear all

I am currently the owner of Toshiba Satellite C50T-A382 machine which has preinstalled Windows 8.1 edition in plain language.

I now want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro Edition, however I'm worried if updated to Win 8.1 Pro, it will support not my touch screen, because I read many comments on the Internet about other brands, like H.P., happens, etc. where users have upgraded to Windows Pro Win SL 8.1 8.1 and their support of the touchscreen is so more than work.

Very would be grateful if someone could inform if it would still technically support my support for touch screen or not?

Thank you.

Concerning
Tan

I put t see serious reasons why the touch screen is not working after these updates.
The driver that controls the touchscreen part of Windows 8.1 System. It s not supplied by the factory for laptop (Toshiba, etc.), but it of a Microsoft driver.

However, in most laptop cases factory provides own systems preconfigured and tested, including all drivers and additional software. All other systems, own hand are not supported by device manufacturers.

What does that mean?
This means that in the case of certain problems (after the installation of another system) you will be always asked to test the device original system preinstalled and preconfigured.

  • Satellite U940 PSU6VA - updated to Win 8.1 without following the instructions

    I recently upgraded my Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite U940 PSU6VA - 00S 002) of Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows.

    However, I didn't know at the time where there was quite a long list of procedures that I should have followed before and after the upgrade (see [http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-upgrade-stepbystep/]).

    After the upgrade, I noticed that the computer is slow, and the fan would never stop. I finally discovered that the driver for the graphics card was gone, and so I used Toshiba Service Station for update my drivers. Now, everything seems to work normally (except that my Wi - Fi off frequently, but happening before the upgrade as well).

    However, read the article I linked above, I see that I have not followed the steps correctly.
    I do not uninstall the software listed in the annex is before the upgrade and I have improved my drivers without apparent order by Toshiba Service Station (rather that check the Toshiba website for good order, that article says).

    So, what I want to know is: this will potentially lead to problems in the future?

    Is it useful to do a factory reset and go through the upgrade process again? (I have all the time at the moment, so I can afford to do so.)

    > So, what I want to know is: this will potentially lead to problems in the future?

    If your system works fine now, I don t think you will have some problems related to the upgrade.
    But of course, you might get some problems of system in the future, no matter if you upgraded the system in the correct order. Something like that is not in the order of installation.

    However, I have read in this forum that many people had problems with the Windows 8.1 because they did not follow the update instructions. In such cases, it s advisable to repeat the upgrade procedure

    But in your case, all seems to work fine

  • Satellite A300D - Display driver for Win 7 32 bit that support WDDM

    Hello

    I recently got Windows 7 on my laptop Satellite A300D and I have problems with the Aero graphics.
    I can't fix it because my display driver does not support aero graphics and my driver (which I downloaded it the TOSHIBAS DRIVERS site) does not have something on WDDM...

    Please helpo me...

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    WDDM means Windows Display Driver Model.
    Check out this MS page for more details
    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/library/aa480220.aspx

    and Wikipedia:
    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Display_Driver_Model

    Usually, the graphics card driver should support this
    As much as I know, that you need to install the latest DirectX Windows 7 supports DirectX10 and Vista supported DirectX9.

    What to say; I use the driver of Toshiba page and I was able to use Aero m.
    But note; Aero must be supported by the graphics card and other components of portable equipment. If the hardware requirements is too low, then you would not be able to activate Aero.

  • Satellite U920T - function keys does not work after update to Win 10

    Hello, good morning / evening...

    I use (U920T satellite) and recently updated my Windows 10 Tablet
    but after that, the function keys, volume, brightness, key FN and even the backlight does not work anymore!

    I tried to restore the system and update the driver software but nothing has worked...

    I use these keyboard shortcuts all the time and now it's really hard without them!

    What is the problem? What should I do?

    The problem is that U920T satellite is not listed as Win 10 support unit and, therefore, drivers earn 10 Toshiba and software that controls the FN keys is not released.
    But as far as I know using the FN keys, system of Toshiba and the Support of Flash Card Utility driver must be installed.

    For all Toshiba units win 10 supported, the drivers can be downloaded from this page:
    http://win10upgrade.Toshiba.com/swup...SPX?region=TEG

    Maybe you can try the drivers released for other models of portable Win 10 supported...
    I'm not sure if the software will be compatible with your model of U920T, but its certainly worth a try...

  • Updated by Satellite P750/05F to Win 8.1 Pro - a few questions

    I just upgraded my P750/05F Windows 8.1 pro with a CLEAN win pro 8.1 installation

    I downloaded and used only the windows 8.1 drivers listed for the P750 via the toshiba site.
    I've always had some problems, but I think I solved the

    IE. : no Win 8 driver worked for ENE IR device, so I used win 7 64 bit
    Atheros windows caused 8driver problem so I got latest Atheros site

    There is no drivers windows 8 for the trackpad on the toshiba site and windows drivers 8 synaptic install not at all, so I used windows 7 64 drivers.

    So far, the machine seems stable with it.

    Im very bored Toshiba did not provide a windows driver package 8 for complete installation.

    Anyway my questions are outstanding

    1. is there a windows driver 8 for the TV tuner? or can I use the driver windows 7?

    2. my FN keys work, but I did not comment on the screen for windows 8 when I use FN F8 keys to enable or disable the wireless. With windows 7 there are icons that would jump to the top. Is there a software for this?

    Thanks for any help.

    Toshiba has provided a research of system of Windows 8.
    There you can check if your system can be updated to Windows 8. 1
    http://support.Toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows81/list_au.htm

    In case your laptop series isn t listed, the laptop series isn't supported to win 8.1.
    This means that the drivers Win 8.1 would not be available too. :(

    It really good news that your machine runs on stable even using the Win 7 drivers.

    With regard to the return to the screen button FN:
    This part is controlled by Toshiba function Key Utility to win 8.1

    This tool is available for several other new series laptop and that's why I recommend you to install these software released for other series.

  • Satellite L300 - where can I order CDs of update for Win 7

    Hi all

    I find my Vista starts so long time, about five minutes, and now I want to upgrade to win 7,.
    Where can I order the CD Update for win 7 from the Toshiba site. Thank you

    Hello

    You cannot order this disk from Toshiba.
    You can order just a recovery disk. But if you laptop came with Vista, then the recovery disk contains the Vista OS and not Win 7.

    If you want to use Win 7, you can buy this OS and then you could install it on the laptop. Win 7 drivers should be available on the European driver page

  • Satellite A100 BIOS update - BAD CHECKSUM

    I've just updated my BIOS to version 6.0 that TOSHIBA said > 26/11/07 "this Bios update adds functionality to your system: Satellite A100 Toshiba 6, 00 - WIN (PSAAN).»

    My original BIOS was 5.9
    My computer works fine A100-33 but when my computer restarts, showed it to the BLACK screen.

    I noticed that it displays BAD CHECKSUM and suugested I select default BIOS but I * ignored this advice * that wanted this new Version of the BIOS.

    What means BAD CHECKSUM and what effects will have on my computer peformance please if any?

    Under the system information that is displayed for my BIOS Version/Date Phoenix Technologies LTD 6.00, 07/12/2007

    Name of the Microsoft OS? ® Windows Vista Home Basic

    Hello

    Don t worry if the message "bad checksum" will appear only once.

    'Bad checksum' means that the BIOS has been changed, rewritten or settings have been restored by default. Thus, whenever you save your bios settings, bios made a "checksum" to check the next time you start the settings were stored and all goes well. If something is wrong or has been changed, then the checksum stored since the last save a Don t match real new generated checksum.

    So if you make an update of the bios, all your settings will be modified logic - you get an error "Bad Checksum".

    Another reason for such "Bad Checksum" is an empty BIOS stack or a malfunction, so BIOS cannot keep it s settings and you will get every time you start the computer a message "Bad Checksum".

  • Question of battery charge on the new Satellite C50t-A-10J

    I have a new Satellite C50t-A-10J that has intermittent load problems. Sometimes it charges ok sometimes it says connected does not support. When no current charging if I click on the battery icon supported starts and continues ok.

    Does anyone know of a more automatic solution? I read on similar problem solved by uninstalling and then reinstalling the Microsoft ACPI battery compatible control method in Device Manager but is reluctant to try because the computer is new.

    I can of course go back to the retailer, but thought I'd post just in case someone had a similar solution.

    Thank you

    Hi Geoff

    I guess this isn't problem in the system.
    It seems that your battery is defective and I recommend to contact the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country to get a battery replacement.

  • Satellite L650D - need drivers for Win server 2008

    Laptop model: Satellite L650D-PSK1SA-03E014

    before that I installed win7 32 bit OS.

    Now I want to change to 64-bit, but he says still no startup disk after the completion of copy and restart.
    I use the recovery disk that I burned after that I bought and used the System Restore Wizard.

    So I decide to install win Server 2008 r2 64-bit, installation is successful, but some hardware drivers can be find and install from the Web site.
    (I use win7 64-bit drivers, I read online, a guy said that it works on his laptop, but do not know why it does not work for me.)

    should I take the laptop to the support center and ask them to install the drivers for me?
    I'm not sure that this service is covered by the warranty or not.

    Or I can ask them to install win7 64 bit OS for me?

    Does anyone have the link to the drivers for win Server 2008 r2 64-bit?
    Thank you very much!

    As much as I know Win server 2008 is not supported by Toshiba, so you will not be able to find the drivers for it. Toshiba offers support for OS preinstalled only and possibly an upgrade if your laptop model is supported for the new OS.
    Warranty has nothing to with Win server 2008 so I think that guys will not be helpful for you. What they can do is to check if the original recovery image can be installed or not. If this is not the case, there may be a hardware problem.

    Hello

    To activate the WLan, you need to install the Wlan driver first.
    The wireless network card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager?
    Otherwise, install the WLan driver compatible; As much as I know the WLan card is Realtek RTL8191SE 802.11bgn

    Then once the Wlan card is recognized correctly, you must install the VAP (value added package) and Flash Cards support utility!
    These two tools are required to operate the FN keys and switch WLan using Fn + F8!

    Hello

    The Windows 8.1 does not require driver external webcam.
    Usually, the webcam driver is part of the Win 8.1 system and so the webcam should be recognized automatically.

    To my knowledge, the webcam is connected to the USB controller. You have a few unknown devices (USB devices) in Device Manager with yellow exclamation?

    By the way: you would update the BIOS to the latest State and system of Toshiba driver to win 8.1 installed?
