Satellite L300 - installation of Windows XP

Why so many people are installing XP on Satellite L300?

There will be more soon, so you will need to use Vista or newer.

Hello!

Why are you asking this?

I think the reason for this is why Windows XP is still supported and don t need resources as long as Vista. In addition, I know a lot of people they don't similar to Windows Vista.
For example, I use Windows XP too. I like more that Vista because I don't like Aero and XP design is, in my opinion, easier to use than Vista.

Good bye

  • Satellite L300 freezes with Windows Vista

    Once the connection is freezing, so I used to do Toshiba HDD recovery and formatted and installed with its recovery tools.

    Now its connect with normal mode.
    The problem is that if I use multitask or open a window or whatever it is the laptop is hanging (freeze).
    Again, I have to forcely, I need to start with safe mode and normal mode then again once I get the same problem.

    Can someone tell me the solution?

    > The problem is that if I use multitask or open a window or whatever it is the laptop is hanging (freeze).
    Maybe some of your applications cause this problem

    I think you should check what software could cause what I mean it of not impossible that a 3rd party applications that runs in the background would be the cause of your troubles

    Of course, it could also be related to a hardware malfunction. It looks a bit like a RAM problem, but just a personal suggestion.

  • Satellite L300 - product key Windows 7 required

    Hello. I bought my Toshiba Satellite L300 in 2011 and it came with windows vista preinstalled. Some time later, we learned that Toshiba gave a free upgrade to windows 7. I got the install disks and install windows7. I had zero problems with my machine since and have been a very happy customer - until very recently.

    I emptied my trash recently and for some reason, there were a few critics files in there, so now, my machine does not start. I don't know how they got there because they were in the trash administrator and I always use a subordinate user account - for security reasons.

    Long story short, I tried to start my computer using the windows 7 installation disc which worked perfectly until I had to enter the product key. Unfortunately, the product key on the label of my laptop is for windows vista so I thought that it is not valid. I wonder if I can recover my product key of windows 7 from anywhere? Toshiba would have a record of what they could send me? I was informed by microsoft that I get from Toshiba.

    To complicate things, I bought the laptop in Ireland, but now lives in South Korea, so I can't at home get the product key.

    I have the Toshiba DVD upgrade, the product key would be there?

    Please, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Toshiba does not provide a unique product for the Windows system keys.
    Toshiba offers own recovery disks / averages in order to recover the laptop back to factory settings.

    Windows system which is part of the image of Toshiba is already enabled and does not require the additional serial key.

  • Satellite L300 - upgrade to windows 7

    I have a toshiba satellite l300-1dn notebook running vista premium.
    Upgrade to windows 7, I'm worried about losing part of the toshiba programs installed on my pc.
    I wanted to do a clean install on a new drive, but do not want to lose the toshiba dvd creator and dvd ulead movie factory, which came installed as standard.

    I want to know if I lose these two programs, if I do a upgrade and clean installation
    And if I do, is there anywhere I can download these programs in safe or better yet a way to save training I use now to reinstall them later after the new installation.

    82 views and zero answers, thank you...

    To answer my own question, I lost the two programs, but found online and re-uploaded disc creator that he, ulead is gone for good.

  • Can satellite L300 - I buy Windows 7 from Microsoft

    My Satellite L300 came with Vista Home Premium. I formatted the drive and installed Windows XP to allow me to run a software not compatible with Vista.
    Now Windows asks me to activate the operating system.

    Now, I want to buy Windows 7 from Microsoft.
    I'll be able to install Windows 7? or will the Vista product key related to the rejection of the system, the installation?

    Hello

    The key of Vista does not work in Win 7
    The product key that you will find at the bottom of the unit is the key OEM belonging on the recovery disk.

    You must purchase the license of MS

    Hi Welshie_1,

    These beep codes mean usually there is a hardware malfunction detected

    You can start in safe mode?
    Have you noticed the beep code when you go into the BIOS too?

    You can install Windows recovery disk Toshiba or you get a bluescreen too?

  • Satellite L300 - 1F5 PSLBGE Windows Vista 64-bit display driver

    Hello

    I bought the Satellite L300 PSLBGE two weeks; as you know, the operating system is not included.
    I installed Windows Vista 64, and since then I struggled to find the drivers.

    After weeks of struggle, I managed to get all the necessary drivers, except the "Display Driver"

    On the site of Toshiba, this driver is none that does not exist. There is a display driver for the same model but for Vista 32, I downloaded it but it is impossible to install (indicating that I have not the minimum standards to install this driver).

    Help, please! I need this driver for Vista 64. It is urgent...

    Thanking you in advance,

    > I installed Windows Vista 64, and since then I struggled to find the drivers.
    Usually, you must check if the laptop is supported for some OS at first and then install the operating system.

    In any case, according to the specifications of the laptop, your laptop must have the Intel GL40 graphics card. The same Satellite Pro U400 PSU45E and it is Vista 64 bit supported.
    HEREis the link to the driver.

    I am trying to upgrade my Satellite M40 (PSM40A - 03 K 009) for Windows 7 Home Premium, but towards the end of the installation, my laptop reboots and freezes you try to start Windows 7.

    I restarted in safe mode, and it seems to get stuck loading \windows\system32\drivers\classpnp.sys.

    Rob

    Hello Rob

    Please don t get me wrong, but this old notebook was designed for Windows XP Home edition. I imagine that you have problems with the installation of Win7, but I'm afraid that there is not much you can do about it.

    This laptop old models are not supported for Win7 and Toshiba will not offer some updates as the BIOS update. If you want to use the newer operating system probably you must also update your hardware. Maybe it's time for the new laptop computer. ;)

  • Satellite L300-12 b Windows XP WLAN issue

    Hello
    ,
    I installed windows xp on my l300-12 b and got everything works except for the LAN and WLAN.

    My problem is that I downloaded the WLAN driver for the chipset of RTL 8189 (the one for XP,) of course and I can't get the wlan to work, I could install the driver with this 2 lines inserted in the .inf - I hope you know what I mean (English is not my mother tongue as you may have noticed).

    There is no error or something like that, but the WiFi network doesn't detect a network (wlan switch is on), I don't know if it has something to do with the fn - keys missing... but the LAN concludes also no network. When I plug the cable windows notice this, but I can't ping my router or whatever it is, there is no connection.

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    So, are you sure that you ve installed the right LAN, WLan drivers at 100%?

    As far as I know this laptop L300-12 b was equipped with driver and the Realtek 802.11(b/g) 13ch-RTL8187B WLan chip Realtek 10/100 Base-TX LAN.
    After installing these drivers device manager shouldn't t shows no yellow exclamation point. It's important!

    After correct installation check network properties: Wlan and Lan.
    There are different protocols. You must choose the TP/IP Protocol and click on properties.

    All parameters such as the IP address and DNS should be set to assign automatically, or something like that.
