I have a click with the right button on the desktop then went properties SETTINGS and noticed that the highest resolution I could get is 1024 x 768, but when I checked the specifications of my computer online, I found that should be by as high as 1280 x 800.

  My laptop is a satellite M40x-149. The cursor goes down to 800 x 600 to 1024 x 768 there is no inbetween.
  I tried restoring the system, but in vain.

  Help please

  Hello

  This looks like the display driver needs to be updated. Please see the Toshiba page for an update:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Before installing the latest version, you must remove the old one. Then restart the laptop and now to install the most recent version.

  Normally if the display driver is installed correctly, you should be able to choose the higher screen resolution.

  Hello

  If there is no possibility try test your WLAN functionality with another network wireless (friend or maybe in your company). On this path, you should be sure if the problem occurs only with your WLAN.

  Try to install the driver for your WIRELESS Intel network card. You can find it under http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=1847&lang=eng

• Satellite M40X-149: where a memory module?

  Hello

  I have a satellite M40X-149. I believe that my laptop has a faulty memory - gel randomly, sometimes will not start sound cmos etc. However when I opened the plastic lid it seems to be an empty memory slot. Assume that the memory is either on board or possibly under the keyboard as in some other models of Toshiba.

  Could someone tell me first where it is and also if it can be replaced. If it cannot be replaced, is it possible to disable it and use the empty accommodation?

  The machine is out of warranty so take it apart is not a problem

  Thanks in advance
  KeV

  Hello

  Yes, you are right. The laptop supports 2 locations in memory, but only one is scalable user.
  This means that the other is hidden somewhere under the keyboard!
  But if you remove the keyboard or any parts, you will lose the warranty.
  Therefore the slot is called scalable user because the common user could insert the module without having to open Notepad.

  The laptop can be upgraded up to 2048 MB. If one slot can candle 1024Mo!

• Satellite L35 (US) with Atheros AR5005G wireless connection problems

  I have a Toshiba L35 (Windows Media Center Operating System) with the software WiFi Atheros AR5005G. This machine was purchased in the United States.

  While in the United States the Wi - FI connection to a router (Linksys) using Windows to configure was instant without any problem.

  I am now in England and when I try to connect to a Modem/Router (3 com), use Windows to configure, connection is spasmodic with what makes a connection on every five attempts. Several times I have to use the repair connection device trying to connect. When it connects the connection is good. When you use the repair it shows unable to renew your IP address if it connects. On other occasions, I use the network connection Panel and 'disable' then 'activate' then most guarantees a connection.

  The laptop provides instant connection when you use a card PCMCIA WiFi with Windows to configure. While the card is inserted the s computer WiFi connect instant however when the card is removed and the computer restarted the same problems occur for a computer, free WiFi!

  Other laptops have no problems to connect to my Modem/Router. I am convinced that it is working properly.

  All regional/language settings in the control panel have been updated with the United Kingdom.

  No undates are available for the Atheros Driver or BIOS.

  Anyone can help identify the problem/possible settings to change?

  Hello

  Satellite L35 is a portable American designed for the American market. BIOS and drivers should be downloaded from the Toshiba site we and not on Toshiba Europe site.

  However, the error message Impossible to renew your IP address is known to me and my brother had the same problem with the Intel card. I just updated the WLan driver and used the Intel Proset utility for WLan configuration.

  I see that you have the Atheros card. The Atheros also provide an Atheros WLan client utility. Try to use instead of the clean Windows configuration.
  In addition, place check WLan card properties. You will find energy saving option. Please turn it off and check the Advanced tab

• Satellite M40x-149 - Question about RAM upgrade

  Currently, I have 512 MB of RAM and want to upgrade. The jury of the RAM has two screws, should I take this and replace it with an upgrade of RAM, or leave the original in and put the new in the slot on top?

  Thank you.

  Hi RareOz,

  The amount of RAM you want after upgrade?
  If you want a maximum of 1 GB of RAM for example, you can leave the original RAM in and buy 512 MB additional RAM.

  But as far as I know M40x supports up to 2 GB of RAM, and that's why it would be necessary to install the module of RAM of 1 GB in each slot. That's why you need two new modules.

  The specification is PC2700 SO - DIMM DDR - RAM.

• Satellite M40X-149: cannot use WLAN to internet connection

  Hi, does anyone have an idea why I can only connect to the internet using my ethernet cable and not the built in wirelless ability of this laptop? If I check the status on the connections Ethernet network that I still have packages sent and received, when I try the road wirless I get only packets sent and received zero. My other laptops do not have the same problem with the same router in the same room.

  Hi Paul

  In my opinion, you should first of all control the functionality of your wireless adapter. If you are able to see your local WLAN card works properly. In this case this problem may be due to wrong settings.

  Do you use WLAN WXP parameters or a WIFI client?

• Satellite M40X-149 the use with a digital projector HP 3130

  Hi, new to this, so apologies before you start!

  I have my M30 laptop and I am trying to link it to a new digital projector - a HP3130.
  I connected it, turned everything on, began a slide show on my laptop... toggled buttons FN/F5 (a screen comes up with three images on it, but not the choice on how to choose or use) and nothing appears on the screen.

  What should I do to make them work together?
  Any ideas please?
  Thank you very much.

  Paul

  What you need to do is to switch to projector before you start any application.
  So when you see Office use only FN + F5 key combination to switch to the projector.
  When the desktop is displayed, it start the slide show.

  Hello

  As far as I know, this unit was delivered with a Mobile Intel 915 GM Express Chipset AlvisoGM graphics card.
  Toshiba recommends to use own graphics card drivers, because they are specially designed for the use of the laptop.
  Please check this pilot site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  There you should find a driver 6.14.10.3943 version.

  But usually it of not easy to say why you game won t run.

• Satellite M40X-149 - typing question

  My wife is having a problem with some letters by typing on the internal keyboard, the keyboard was changed, but the problem persists. If it uses the following keys that several letters are typed, but not every time, I thought it was the heat associated with, but sometimes it happens as soon as the laptop is on, sometimes it's okay for a short period.

  The affected keys are:-q s d g,. [] PgDn Alt all ideas, an external keyboard works fine, but using one is very troublesome, a laptop with an external keyboard is a desktop computer.

  If you use an internal keyboard brand new but the problem persists perhaps is defective keyboard controller. It can be verified by the service. In this case the repair can be quite expensive.
  I put t know how your wife is using this old book but if he uses it on the small keyboard Office Wireless can be good solution.

  Thank you

  Reference number is an internal information, and I really don't think that someone can help here.
