Satellite M40X-149: DirectX (Direct 3D) issue playing for Silent Hunter III

Charge of Silent Hunter III in December 2005 after adding the 512 MB of RAM (total 1 GB now). Game worked great so far. All of a sudden game does not load with the error message "cannot start the 3D engine. Have loaded latest Intel driver (dated February 06). Loaded (v 9 c) latest version of DirectX from MS site (dated from Dec 05). Have uninstalled and reinstalled the game DVD. Still does not work. DxDiag States "directly 3D feature not available"... but it was.
Game providers are out of ideas.
You people are my last hope... I'm going 'cold turkey' without being able to launch torpedoes at ships!
Any help gratefully accepted.

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.

    Hi there, hope someone can help me.

    I booted up my laptop today and the icons on the desktop appears larger. 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 A80: Update DirectX 9 .0c to play Call of Duty 2

    Hello

    It's Carlos. I have a portable Satellite A80, and I want to update the display driver to be able to play Call of Duty 2, in need of a Directx 9 .0c compatibility. Yet since 2005 it has some new drivers from Toshiba Web site. The last driver I have is compatible with DirectX 9. 0b. But the game does not work in my PC.

    Toshiba will issue a new driver in the near future, or should I forget play this game because my laptop becomes obsolete?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    In my opinion, it is not necessary to update the display driver to install DirectX 9 c.
    You can download it from the Microsoft DirectX Web site. Then try to install the new application.
    Usually there should be no problem to update this version of DirectX.

  • 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 - 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.

  • Satellite M40x-149 and atheros ar5005gs

    I recently bought a laptop, a few weeks previously and recently I tried to connect it to a work already wireless network in the home and found that the laptop could not see the network and then connect to it.

    I know that the network is working with the other computers in the House.

    The internal network card is installed and working properly according to the windows Device Manager.

    Could someone please advice me on the possible solutions to this problem.

    Hello

    If your wireless card is installed correctly, the next step is to activate the card. All with antenna wireless switch on the front of your laptop. After that check with the combination of keys FN + F8 if wireless network is enabled. After that decide how you want to configure your wireless card. For the configuration of the wireless network, you can use the Windows settings or the settings of the Client (in you Atheros client utility case).

    If there is no link please check internet connection firewall.

  • 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.

    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.

    Reference number is an internal information, and I really don't think that someone can help here.
    I don't know in which country you live, but I imagine you can find many online PC shops in your country. Google all over the place.
