Satellite M40x-230 - display driver lost

Hi, I'm new here.

I've had this laptop model Toshiba Satellite M40x-230 for about 4-5 years now. The hard drive is full so I thought I would like to remove some unwanted files. I did 2 things

(1) uninstall some programs that I don't use anymore
(2) use Disk Cleanup to delete unused files.
I thought I knew exactly what I was remove, but when I did, I found that the display went bizarre.
When I checked, I found that it was showing only a default driver. Worse still, when I went in the trash to try to undo what I had done, he has no files inside.
I tried to do a system restore, but it does not work.

I went on the site of Toshiba and sought the drivers for my laptop. There are 2 options. I downloaded all of them and tried to install. The first one (Intel) said my system did not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. The other is (ATI) said the length of the specified directory path and the name of the installation folder exceeds 88 characters and to shorten it?

Please can someone help me get my display back to how it was. It of usable but looks terrible and base.

I know I'm a model so please be gentle with me.

Hello

Try this one:

ATI

or
Intel

http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/display-20080416165832.zip

I don't know if your laptop is equipped with Ati or Intel, that's why I posted 2 drivers.

    Hello

    Well, I found on the Toshiba site the version of 8.111 ATI display driver.
    It seems that there is a newer version. But what frequency display would you like to change?
    Did you mean the screen refresh rate?
    As far as I know it of not possible to change this setting. It s a framework closes and it is always set to 60 Hz.

  • Satellite M40X-230: display fault - vertical lines

    My laptop crashed last night and on itself reboot screen displayed (spaced on each 8mm) vertical dotted lines and then crashes with the following message (edited for the relevant points)

    "Windows was arrested to avoid any damage to your computer.
    The problem seems to be caused by the following file: ati2dvag...
    The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates problem with the device itself or with the device driver...
    "Technical information: * STOP: 0x000000EA (0x822185B0, 0xF8972CB4, 0 x 82133288, 0x00000001)".

    The screen is damaged now wherever the phone is turned on.

    However, if I have it start again, after the error, then mode message without failure, once Windows is used the display looks good (he is still defective prior to this, however). The same fault also occurs with an external monitor.

    I tried to uninstall the driver for the graphics card, but that makes no difference.

    Any ideas? I would like to reinstall windows, but that the fault if poster before the aircraft reach POST I really don't think that will make all the difference. That the screen is in Mode safe but not while it is booting up also does very much make sense to me either.

    Thank you very much to get this far in my ramblings.

    Hello

    According to the error message:
    "... This usually indicates problem with the device itself or with the device driver... »

    It may be a faulty graphics card because the same defect appears on the external display. But diagnostic tests are required to be 100% sure what s the fault could be.
    The Toshiba service partner can start the test and then can give you some details about the failure. So, in my opinion, you should contact Toshiba service partner in your country.

  • Satellite M40X-230: the display will not stay in position

    Can someone help me, when I opened my laptop the movements of the screen on the hinges back about an inch freely instead of being closed, is anyway it can be tightened?

    Is the case please let me know.

    See you soon

    Hello

    I suppose that the left or right hinge becomes tense and so the lid doesn't it stay the right position.
    Unfortunately, I n t think you can resolve it the other side.
    I think that the hinges need to be replaced. Try to contact Toshiba service partner in your country.

  • Satellite M40X-230 turns off randomly

    Hello

    My satellite m40x-230 is about 2 years old. Recently, power has been cut out completely Mid-use - for example I watch a movie and suddenly everything power to cancel - it is connected through the ESA and the battery is connected when this happens. If I unplug the AC and the battery and wait a while, then ac and battery back, I can to come back on and it works very well for a while.

    Can anyone suggest what the problem please?

    Thanks in advance.

    Not easy to say with certainty what the problem may be but let us start with an innocuous explanation: I think that this happens due to overheating. Obviously the material temperature has reached the critical level and the laptop turns off simply without any warning.

    It is because of the material. Because of this, the first step, you can do is to clean your laptop. I guess that after two years, there is a lot of dust on the inside and the air flow is blocked.

  • Satellite M40x-230 - YouTube videos is not continuous

    Since the purchase of the satellite M40x-230 in 2005, he was never able to play online or off connection permanently in the video, the video stops to load a few seconds to a minute, about 10 to 20 seconds. In this case you were using itunes, windows media player or winamp.

    I downloaded the latest version of Adobe flash, but I'm not sure that there is an error with the laptop itself. The operating system has been reinstalled several times but the problem remains. I don't have this problem on a new netbook from toshiba.

    The information system are:
    Windows XP SP3 operating system,
    Intel (R) Pentium (R) M processor clocked at 1.86 GHz,
    512 MB of RAM.
    Graphics - unknown

    I would appreciate any information that might lead to a solution for this.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    I put t know which videos you look, but perhaps that you have to install a new codec pack. Just use Google to find these codec packs.

    In addition, I recommend VLC media player. It s a freeware player that can play most audio and video files. It s freeware! :)

  • Satellite M40X-230 memory upgrade

    Upgrade memory

    I have a satellite M40X-230, most of the documents indicate that it is expandable up to 2 GB of RAM.
    On the underside there a memory expansion slot which will have a 1 GB SODIMM, giving me a total of 1.5 G bytes of RAM.

    Is it possible to add the other 500 MB. (I'm experimenting with Virtual Machines and data bases)

    In case anyone is interested!

    There is a module in memory of 500MByte located on top of the motherboard. Unfortunately this is mounted internally in the case.
    It is located below and slightly to the right of the center of the keyboard.
    However, the casting of the cover of the laptop cover electronics and so it is not accessible by simply removing the keyboard. the top cover should be thrown which also consists of removing the screen.

    Otherwise, the module is mounted in exactly the same type of socket than under the machine.

    Hello

    I just bought the Satellite T130-02F and after choosing 32-bit operating system, I had the power to recharge the battery and then started to get 'to display driver errors"where the screen black flash and then flash back on. I checked Device Manager and Driver Details, the reader is up to date and as far as I can see is the suitable driver. I searched websites to see if there are other drivers out there ar, but its update.

    I have nothing more have not installed on the computer again and find that I get the error more regularly on the farm rather than power, that concerns me. The computer is less than 24 hours old.
    Any advice?

    Mobile Intel (R) display firmware.
    Windows 7 32-bit is installed.

    Hello

    In your case I would try to reinstall the display driver. You can find the latest version on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    After that, make sure that the latest version of the BIOS is installed. You can download the Toshiba site too.

    If nothing works your only chance is an authorized service provider. It seems to be a hardware problem and should be checked for professional people.

  • Win8.1 need for Satellite L300-2CR display driver

    Hello Toshiba,

    You will develop a display driver for Windows 8.1 64 bits for all Toshiba Satellite models? I have a Satellite L300 - 2CR. The paradox is that when I installed the first time Win8, the display driver for Win 7 worked, now on the second format it no longer works.

    As much as I know old machines are not supported for Win8/Win8.1.
    Each new operating system brings also new standards for hardware so new notebooks offer newer hardware and hardware platforms.

    Development costs a lot of money and time. Then do a test and support. I can't imagine that the laptop manufacturers will make for some models of laptops designed for Vista. OS support for the LDP machines is very limited.

    Maybe it sounds silly now but for me there is no sense to use Win8.1 on this old piece of hardware. Win7 32 bit is, in my opinion, best solution for you.

  • Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100 - display driver resolution - help!

    My laptop screen is 15 inches and resolution 1024 x 768. He worked always good. Until I installed Windows XP SRV 2 once again. Now, the screen only works with 969 x 768 pixels. Without the ability to use the whole poster resolution. So I downloaded and installed the toshiba display driver. But still the same problem. (Black band on the right side) part of the display resolution remains unused and remains black.

    I tried everything in the display settings of display resolution, but the law remains black strip unused

    This unused black band is om the right side of the screen.
    The rest of the computer laptop good workt without problem

    A frend of mine has the same problem with a toshiba Satellite Pro 6100. After insalling Windows XP and the appropriate driver, the screen leaves a band black and unused.

    Can someone help me please?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Can you please check under display properties > settings > advanced > monitor, is there possibility to activate the option Hide modes that this monitor cannot display.

    If you want, save your data and reinstall OS with recovery CD. Check if your monitor is working properly and there is black band again.
    I ve done the installation of SP2 several times without any problem. It is not a simple to determine what can be wrong with it.

    If you reinstall the operating system and there is no black band again, please let me know. I am very interested about your problem.

  • Satellite L500 - 152 Display driver Sims3 plus

    Hello. I use this thing = [Satellite L500-152 | http://nordic.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?LNG=18&service=ND#tab3;] .
    And it was fine, until I came out and me Sims3 and Sims3 World Adventures, after installing both (+ in order correct ofc +), when I tried to start them up, I can not for the game Launcher, because an error message blocks my way...
    "* There was an error during startup. "Check the log for details."
    No info for don't nabs like me, about the location journal. And when you press the button available only here, the frozen Launcher naturally also closes its doors with her.

    So I checked google and found that people who have had the same problem, just changed the display driver to one that is supported by the game, I discovered that mine was not, I have * "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series."

    _Sims3 taken in charge the radeon drivers are: _
    Series ATI Radeon 9500, 9600, 9800, X 300, X 600, X 700, X 800, X 850, X 1300, X 1600, X 1800, X 1900, X 1950, 2400, 2600, 2900, 3450, 3650, 3850, 3870, 4850, 4870, Â Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) GMA series 3 Series 4 GMA.

    If someone could help me, by discovering what driver of the foregoing (as appropriate), will work on this laptop and tell me where to download it, I would be very very very happy :)

    Those who changed the driver perhaps no laptop and desktop computers. There is a big difference.
    Support drivers is much better for desktop computers.

    Problem is that the drivers for laptops are slightly adapted and designed for optimal graphic operations.
    I'm afraid that this with updating the graphics driver will be not so easy.
    It is always recommended to use the drivers provided by the manufacturer of the laptop. With the help of some third part and untested graphics card driver may be forced to run on a maximum and there is risk of damage or surprise. So be careful with this stuff.

    To be honest I don't know why this happen and always happens when I m using internet explorer or the browser chrome. When this happens to you?
