  • Order of installation of drivers for Satellite Pro 4600 / Windows 2000

    Does anyone have the installation order of drivers for Satellite Pro 4600 (Windows 2000)? I already found the site to download the drivers ([http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=DE]), but I don't know in which order should I install them.

    Welcome,

    Floyd

    Hello

    There are not many drivers and utilities, so I recommend starting with Chip Set Utility, Display Driver, Driver Sound, infrared Driver, LAN Driver, Wireless Lan Driver, mouse driver.
    Then follow with common modules and energy-saving, etc.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro 4600 Wireless card does not work with WIN2K?

    I have a Satellite Pro 4600 with UK dealer PA3070U-1MPC wireless operating with Windows 2000 card

    The wireless client Manager detects the network from my wireless router and the signal is excellent and I see all the Green swhowing bars.

    But I can't mske a connection in 'connections' wireless says "network cable is disconnected.

    the router works well with other laptops in my house.

    I have the latest version of Win2K also downloaded and installed the latest versions of client manager and WLAN driver for win2k to the toshiba Web site.

    'Support of toshiba in Turkey' told me ' I need another driver for Win2K for my driver wireless card cause win2K on the toshiba site isn't for "thie" wireless card ". I have been waiting for this for 3 weeks now and couldn't join the UK level 3 elusive support who supposed to have this driver. I saw on the internet is the same wireless card was sold as an accessory "made by toshiba" and he said that it is compatible with Wim2K

    What I then please? It works with Win2K, is it "another driver" and so on?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I don t think that there is something wrong with the driver because you can receive signals from router (green bars). If the driver WLan would be a mistake if wouldn t receive all signals.
    Please check device manager. If the wireless card is recognized if you are using the correct driver and the driver has been installed correctly.
    Please see this page:
    http://209.167.114.38/support/TechSupport/TSBs/all/-TSB000705.htm

    In my view, the message "network cable is disconnected" appears because your (NOT wireless) LAN cable is not connected. This post has nothing to do with the question of Wlan.
    You should check your WLan settings again.

    Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

    Thank you for your attention.

    Hello AF

    It's really not easy to say how this problem can be solved. Usually the new facility could solve it. This kind of problems is not easy to repair on easy way. If you are a user with lots of experience I suggest you remove all records related to energy saving, even entries in regedit (be careful).

    Then, try again to install energy-saving. Sorry but I have no other suggestions.

    If you will be able to solve this problem please let me know.

    So I went back to the software TrueSuite Access manager, but this time I had a problem!

    You take the recovery disc and reinstall the OS using the Toshiba disc.
    The laptop must be set to the factory settings/configuration and then you should check if the same error message again.

  • Satellite U840-10N - Windows Installation can not see any drive

    Hi all, this is my first post so I hope that I chose the right place to post in.

    I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite u840-10n ultrabook. He joined WIndows 7 Home Premium 320 GB HHD + SSD of 32 GB.

    Even though I prefer Linux, I need Windows because of Microsoft Visual Studio. I downloaded Visual Studio (legally throught dreamspark.com), but it looks like it has some issues. In particular, I can't create any project.

    After searching the Web for this problem, I decided to try reinstalling Windows, hoping that this will solve the problem, and here's the point.

    Installation process of Windows 7 can not find any drive. I looked through the web a lot to solve this problem, even, without understanding.

    I read a lot of other people had the same problem. I tried different ways and I'm about to throw the laptop out the window.

    Is there anyone can help me?

    See you soon,.

    You need to load the SATA driver before you start the installation of the OS. Try it please use the files from http://www.fileswap.com/dl/igfH0jVrap/

    I used it on my Win8 preinstalled satellite to install Win7 64 bit. Copy it to USB and install from there.
    Please post comments.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - PSPCDA-01L00D - DVD not found after upgrade Windows 7

    After a new installation of Windows 7 Home Premium, and then download the required drivers from the Toshiba support site there are problems with the DVD drive in my laptop.

    I downloaded the app Toshiba DVD Player, which auto detects what version you need. After the application is running, I get the message "no installation Toshiba DVD could be found! You can only update a version already installed. »

    How can I get the DVD player to be recognized, if the application will be installed. Currently the DVD player will not play DVD - that will be a problem for my daughter who use the laptop.

    The driver Windows 7 page mentions too, updates will be available via Toshiba Service Station, but does provide no link. A search in the Web from Toshiba site fails to locate, where can I get this utility of?

    What you have found on the Toshiba download page, it's just the update and not full version.

    If you want to have really good player install VLC player. It's free and you can find Googling autour. This reader reads all video formats and I use it for a long time.

    It reads the DVD without any problem.

    Test it. If you n t it you can delete any it system.

  • WLAN for Satellite Pro 4600

    Hello

    I installed the recovery disk (Windows 2000) for my Satellite Pro 4600 but WIFI could not be started.
    The software "Toshiba Wireless LAN Client Manager" says that there is no wireless network card-driver.
    I do not see a "Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card", only a "Intel (r) PRO/100VE Network Connection" to the hardware Manager card. But there is also a "PCMCIA UNKNOWN_MANUFACTURER" - device. The WLAN driver does not fit.
    The Notebookhardware has not been changed then what is it?

    Please help me fix this problem.

    Thank you
    Stefan

    Hello

    If you use original recovery CD for the installation of the OS (SP4600 only) all hardware components must be installed correctly. Before we do that any external devices should be deleted (USB keys, printer or PCMCIA card). If the wireless card is displayed correctly under NICs without yellow exclamation, I guess that the wireless network card is installed correctly.

    Driver Toshiba designed for WLAN should be used for INTEL adapters. I really can't understand why you use the same driver for the PCMCIA unknown device.

    In my opinion, you should check the download from Toshiba site and try reinstalling the chipset utility. Please don t forget to disable the WLAN Windows option if you want to use the WLAN client.

    Good bye
