• Re: How to install Windows XP Home on a Satellite L40 - 17R

  I bought a laptop Satellite L40 - 17r without Windows installed and the store didn t give me all the drivers also.
  When I check your "how to install windows XP on a L40.pdf. It says to download the driver package that I can't find on your website.

  I have a Windows XP Home genuine SP2, but I can t install as WXP does ' t find the hard drive.
  I'd be the appropriate driver package to install Windows XP on my laptop.

  If I have an external floppy drive can't, I used a USB drive external hard also add the necessary drivers so that Windows XP can see my hard drive (160 GB HARD DRIVE (5400 RPM) SATA).

  Thanks for your response

  Hello Xavier

  I think installing WXP on L40 laptop is most asked in recent months. I recommend to check this forum category and you will find answer to your question. If you have no floppy, it shouldn't be a problem at all. Solution is Nlite software.

  Use as search terms in the advanced search option and you will find so many threads with exact explanation on its use.

  Hello

  just wait awhile, sometimes reason some maintenance reasons drivers delete/upload reason some updates or whatever. I think that if it was already online then they should put it online again.

• Satellite Pro A300 freezes when on the internet

  Satellite Pro A300 freezes when on the internet & the only way to turn it off is to take out the battery. Bought new Dec 2010 & is under warranty - suggestions?

  Hello

  have you tried to update drivers Lan (wlan)? What browser do you use? I guess, the Internet explorer, try firefox or opera. Also, your computer may be infected with the virus, or blocked by the firewall. Have you installed software before it starts? Is this ok when you bought it? I ask you too, because you do not have a lot of information.
  It is especially the driver, software problem.

  Hello lucky

  In my opinion, installing WXP on L40 is one of the most asked questions here on this forum and I recommend you to use the search function and search around a bit. On Windows XP Home Edition drivers there not much to say. I found the info your laptop belongs to the series of PSL4CE and I can see WXP drivers are available on the Toshiba support page. There is no driver package, but each driver can be downloaded separately.

  All you have to do is to install the OS and after that follow the order of the facilities. Check it please page 27 on PDF (Installations instructions).

• How to upgrade video memory on Satellite L40 - 17R?

  I have laptop Toshiba Satellite L40 - 17R with 2 GB RAM and I want to upgade my video memory: 256 MB Max (384MB). How can I do this?

  Unfortunately you can not upgrade you RAM physically as your video RAM is just shared memory.

  You can try to increase the amount of RAM in the BIOS because the video RAM should be a shared memory. If you can't find some options in the BIOS, that allows to increase the amount of video RAM, then you won´t be able to update...

  To learn more about shared memory, please see the following site:
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Memory_Architecture

  I must also tell you that even if you would be able to increase the amount of graphics memory shared, it won´t affect performance not really since the system RAM is slower then a sort of RAM dedicated.

• How can I install Windows XP on Satellite L40 - 17R?

  I tried to install windows XP on my new L40 - 17R.
  I get a msg says that I don't have a HARD drive.

  I enter the WOOD so I can find a setting for SATA HDD to turn it off as I do in my old ASUS.
  But I have not found anything to the HARD drive in the BIOS.

  So can any body please help me how can I do to install windows XP?

  I will be grateful

  You do not need to disable anything in the BIOS. Simply install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager and the operating system will recognize the HARD drive.
  You are going to install the SATA (Storage Manager) driver for the external USB floppy drive or you will use nLite software to build an own XP CD and include the SATA driver in the new XP.

• Satellite Pro M70-113: cannot install Vista graphics driver and lines appears on the display

  Hello

  I have satellite pro m70-113 with ati x 700 graphics card.

  When I installed vista, he installed the default drivers for the x 700 'mobility radeon x 700-microsft Corp.-WDDM '.

  I've updated the display drivers for vista, that released by toshiba 2 days back... but the driver is not updated to the latest version, only the catalyst control center is installed when I ran the update of the driver of toshiba.

  The problem is that whenever I put my laptop in standby or hibernation and resume... the screen shows thin lines vertical/horizontal... and I can't use the laptop... and I have to still put the system to sleep, just to hope that it is not blocking the screen this time...

  This problem is 25% of the time only when resume...

  This problem is not resolved by the update driver for toshiba has released a few days back... as is not installs the drivers (I can't even install the drivers with the option "update drivers" of Device Manager and select file driver update from toshiba.) It says windows find new driver, but could not install the driver... Contact the manufacturer...)

  This snap shows the problem... : http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/2783/12042007366copyod1.jpg

  I updated the driver from an earlier version of catalyst, as it is downloaded from the ati site before that toshiba has released the update... this time it updates some 8. XXX version but the screen problem remains...

  Second, this update of the driver leaves me not sleep my system... the process starts for a sleep, but go back to the locked screen without making sleep ever... so I have no choice to get stuck with the default Windows... drivers having only the problem of the screen... and not the problem of sleep...

  Anyone here with a solution?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I have Satellite M70-159 and I noticed the same thing several times. For most Vista works well but I don't remember cases in which the described problem occurs. I was just curious on M70 Vista and have had no time to intensive testing.

  Anyway, it will be interesting to know if you have already updated the BIOS to the latest version 5.10. If this is not the case to do this and watch carefully if the problem persists.

• Can satellite P300D-h-13 - I install Vista x 64?

  I ordered by Satellite P300D-h-13 that came with Vista x 32.
  Now, I want to install Vista x 64 for my business.

  I need drivers for it, or Vista x 64 install without problem?
  I realized I need to upgrade the BIOS for Vista x 64... When should I upgrade the BIOS, before or after the installation of Vista x 64?

  Let's say that after Vista x 64 I want to return to my Vista x 32... recovery disk image should I upgrade/downgrade my BIOS for Vista x 32, wright?

  Thank you

  Hello!

  You can install Vista x 64 on your laptop. I think it should work, but you have to look to external Web sites for drivers. So check the site of the factory hardware.

  On my Satellite U400 I have Vista x 64 too and I flashed the BIOS after you have installed Vista x 64 but it is important to ensure that all functions will work well.

  And Yes, after downgrading to Vista x 32, you must install the BIOS for 32 bit OS.

  Good bye
