Satellite M40-129 and drivers Win7

Hello

I just installed Win7 on my Toshiba Satellite M40-129. It was really hard... Windows refuses to complete the installation until I deleted pcmcia.sys in the windows system folder.

Now I have the problem that my pcmcia cardbus is working nor my SD card reader. As soon as I ask for Win7 to update driver PCMCIA, the doesn´t of the computer unbootable until I have again to remove pcmcia.sys.

Now my question: I can live with having one for not working the PCMCIA port, but there all the drivers available for windows 7 and the Cardbus SD?

Thank you very much.

This old Satellite is not supported for Win7 and you won't find any driver for it. It is not easy to configure the hardware on these old books but Win7 has good drivers base and, after several Microsoft updates most of the equipment must be installed correctly.

What you can try is to try to install the driver designed for another model of laptop. Perhaps satellite A100 or Satellite A200. I put t know if this will help but you can test it in any case.

    Hello

    Check the properties of the card wireless in Device Manager. On the Advanced tab, there is transmit power setting. I hope that it is defined at the highest level. Your card is standard g and it should work up to 54 MBit per second.

    Hello

    I have the portable 'Satellite M40 - 129 Centrino PM730' computer
    I need a 2nd power adapter, because I'm working on 2 places (and I'm lazy to wear)
    The one I have is model Liteon: PA-1750-08.
    (1) is the only model that works, and that another one would also work?
    (2) I want to buy it online, what other adapters are also compatible for my laptop.
    I have no idea for the "key words" I can search in google or ebay?
    (Currently the results I get for my research are not so good.)
    (3) for example, I found Liteon model: PA-1650-02. This would also work with my laptop, is there any mapping?

  • When I'm playing games like Fifa07 Satellite M40-129 freezes

    When ia´m to play games like Fifa07 my phone freezes from time to time. I have a Satellite M40-129 with the latest version of the driver 6.14.10.6525.

    I get the error message (German): http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/2337/grafikkartentreiberdf9.png

    Dxdiag: http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/2250/grakatreiberup4.jpg

    Isn't there anything I can do to avoid those who freezes.

    Hi Sascha

    Is the laptop freezes only when you play this special game or it freezes by other applications, games, etc?
    Don t know exactly why it happens, but if the laptop freezes only during playback the Fifa07 then it might be a problem of compatibility of graphics driver with this game.

    Do you use the graphics driver for the Toshiba page?

  • Does anyone have experiences with Windows Vista on a Satellite M40-129?

    Hello
    does anyone have experiences with Windows Vista (Business) on an M40-129? Any suggestions on the proper drivers and advice are welcome.

    Hello

    I have an owner of the M40 motorway m but I didn t install Vista on my laptop.
    Why? good Vista needs a lot more material resources like the XP.
    In addition many additional applications that are running on my system are not compatible with Vista.
    Last but not lease I didn t find the drivers of Toshiba for the M40 on the Web site.

    I think that the drivers Vista missing on the page is not a problem serious because important factors as driver graph, sound driver, lan and Wlan driver can be downloaded from the website of chip manufacturing.

    Anyway, if you want to install Vista on your M40 I would create an additional partition and install the OS on the second partition.
    In this case, you can use the two BONES; XP and Vista.

    To my knowledge the Vista installs a clean boot manager and it should be very easy to switch between XP and Vista.

  • Satellite M40-313 and Vista

    Hello

    I m a surfer of money with a counter top, but my 22 year old daughter, as recently bought it a second hand Toshiba Satellite M40 313, now she wanted to put Windows Vista Ultimate OS on it, I had my doubts, so I increased the RAM to 2gbs and gave it a try, it seems to work very well, he's a bit slow , after a couple of days a week and after several software maybe init started acting a bit erratic.

    Question is the will of the hold of the laptop operating system or would it be wise to low-grade it back.

    Yes, you must reinstall WXP. There are several reasons for this. My friends has the same model of laptop and it works well with Windows XP Home edition.
    So, this former model of laptop is designed for Windows XP Home edition and Toshiba offers no Vista support for this model of laptop. This means that there are no drivers or tools or utilities available. You will never be able to set up well with Vista.

    Install WXP using recovery delivered image or install your own WXP and all drivers, tools and utilities. You can find them on the Toshiba support page. In my view, it must be some leaves in ARCHIVES.

    If you need more help with installing Windows XP edition family thanks for posting again.

    Hello
    I need to format the hard drive and install XP Pro SP2 on my Satellite M40 - 239 (pre installed XP HE). How do we install the Express Media Player?

  • White screen on Satellite M40-129 with no BIOS access

    OK, I really tried a lot of things to find out what it may be.
    When I start the laptop it seems to start, but the rest black screen (AC + Power lights up, but no disk HARD-light).
    I tried several times, even with ESC + on and F2 + now and 50 only once I could see the splash screen.
    He was there for several minutes and nothing happened. So I decided to try it again... and Im yet to try.

    Support told me there is a problem with the bios, but since I can't access what it is, I can't update the bios.
    I tried with an external monitor, with or without battery, with and without the HARD drive (bios must be accessible without).
    Always with the same result.
    And as these things always happen after the expiration of the warranty.

    The hardware seems to work (ok once a lot) and for strange behavior, I wonder if anyone had a similar experience or has a tip for me.

    One of my friends has Satellite M40 and it's very nice for laptop. If possible try to connect your laptop to external monitor and just turn it on. It will be interesting to know if it works or not. If so, I assume that the display is faulty.

  • Satellite M40-129 Harddrive Bluescreen Error

    Hello
    I got a M40-129 last year, created 2 Partitions and installed XP Pro SP2. Everything worked very well, but a few months I drive hard-error-Bluescreens. When I run Chkdsk afterwards, I get messages about bad securities Index or orphan data segments (translated from German). Normally I reinstall my laptop then go to a backup Image and all is well again. But these errors occurring weekly/daily now.

    I called the support, but I was told that the support would be only grab the laptop and see if the problem still occurs. But that's what I'm already doing. Is it possible to fix this?

    Hello

    First something about your partition hidden.
    The M40-129 Sat was delivered with the Media Express Player.
    This player is pre-installed on the hidden partition.

    Well, HARD disk system errors and the file can result from a variety of problems, such as hardware failures, outages of electricity, poor system maintenance, virus and human error.

    When you run Chkdsk with parameters, such as / f / / r, Chkdsk repair errors related to file system structures.

    I recommend the Microsoft information page. Here, you will find many useful information about HARD drive failure and why this happens.

  • Satellite M40 - start and stop issue

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop Satellite M40 on stop to the low process sometimes also on windows start and I think it's BIOS associates.

    When I start my laptop, sometimes (not always) I get an error message in a blue screen saying that my BIOS is not fully ACPI-compatible... I reboot, and if I wait a while, the system boots normally, but if I just restart immediately, he'll get the same message.
    It happens sometimes that the computer goes further opening in the black screen message: contact tomorrow: toshiba

    The other problem, I don't know if it of related or not, is that the computer is not shut down or restart. I have to do it by pressing the button for a while. I thought it was an application that I had in my system that was the cause, but I have just formatted the hard drive and the same mistakes are still ongoing...

    When it stops, it stops right on the message: 'Windows is shutting down... ". »

    I updated my BIOS with the new available for download here to toshiba support, and I think it was the trigger for all these problems... now I don't know how to go back, or even if it's the reason.
    I really hope someone here can help me, because I just wanted all the information related to the internet without success.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Satellite M40 is well-known for me because one of my friends has one at home. Laptop very nice.

    So, what can I say? It's really not easy to say what the problem is here, but if you use Windows XP Home edition for a long time, it can happen that one day to happen strange things. I believe that no one here can say with certainty what the problem with your machine.

    If possible, you should clean OS installation using recovery media delivered. After doing this, you should see what is happening. In this case, no one can say that there are programs that have bad influence on the execution of the operating system.

  • Satellite M40-129 BSOD and does not start correctly

    Hi again.

    I was working on my computer since my last question, but (almost) nothing has changed.
    The problem:
    My laptop is booting, but only on very rare occasions.
    What can happen:
    -l' screen stays black (almost 50% of cases)
    -L' splash screen (Toshiba - in touch with tomorrow) becomes visible and nothing happens then (40%)
    -Notepad starts "correctly" (10%)

    If the notebook starts correctly there are 2 options:
    1st: I try to start Windows: it crashes with a blue screen with the nice request an update of the BIOS.
    2nd: I boot SuSe Linux: EVERYTHING WORKS!

    I tried to update the BIOS the traditional way, although it is difficult to get it started it runs until shortly before the end and restart the computer.
    I don't see any confirmation screen as Im used to.

    What I assume, that the associated BIOS startup problem.

    I read a method for recovering the BIOS with a floppy disk, where you copy the BIOS. ROM disk and start the computer with the disc.
    My question is: is this also possible with a CD (have no floppy drive), if yes: how to proceed?

    I wanted to give a point of service of Toshiba, but if they can't fix it, I always have to pay 50 euros. I have to pay money to get my BIOS restored, but the service seems to be just a "-delivery service" the real point of service and I would like to speak with a qualified person, first :)

    > I read a method for recovering the BIOS with a floppy disk, where you copy the BIOS. ROM disk and start the computer with the disc.
    > My question is: is it possible with a CD (have no floppy drive), if yes: how to proceed?

    Hmm, you said that you have already received the traditional BIOS files from the ASP in your country. Then maybe you should take a look at this Toshiba document:

    What is going on? Also I can't find in the windows recovery Panel. Key F2 and F12 does not work, when I press it, the laptop starts beeping beep and starts in windows.
    Can someone help me? I don't want windows 7 I like windows 8.1.

    Thank you for your help

    It's really good that you posted this question. So far on this forum many people ask the same questions, but all have been at the origin of new machines of Win8.
    Now we have the situation with the old machine Win7 but with Win8 preinstalled.

    Solution for other people needed to proceed to a complete stop and after doing this, it was possible to enter the BIOS settings. Check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm

    This situation does not for me so here's a question for you:
    When you start your laptop, I guess you can see the Toshiba start screen. With F2 option is shown on the bottom of the screen?

  • Satellite M40 - 129 (German model)

    You have 3 questions before you buy this model:
    (a) want to install WIN XP Pro SP2, all supplied drivers function 100% or do I have to download separate drivers?
    (b) have read in another Forum that the speakers make crackling noises, it's because of hardware or software problem.
    (c) the manual says internal XYZ of Intel graphics card of 128 MB, ATI X 600 external (and other modelst)
    What this means for the internal display (TFT screen) the graphics card ATI isn't all involved only a few shared Intel graphics?
