• Satellite Pro A40-111 - Windows XP Pro Russia - how to change to Windows XP en

  Hi all

  I just bought the Satellite Pro A40-111, 2 days ago in Ukraine. Everything is OK except the OS, it is the version of WinXP Russia. I'm not one Russian or Ukrainian.

  Could Toshiba or someone could help me to config this OS to have the Interface in English WinXP?
  Please help me!
  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  for your Windows to speak another language, you need to go to stores and buy a Windows with this language. In your case, there is (at least not known to me) no way to change Windows English Russian Windows without having to reinstall the system from scratch - and not with an English Windows.

  When you do so, remember to add the drivers CD Utilties - and tools and in the exact order as described in the help on the CD HTML files.
  It is imperative to install drivers in the correct order to have the machine works correctly.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

  Hello

  The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

  Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

  Hi Richard,

  I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.

• Satellite Pro A40: Is it possible to format the HARD drive without disk

  I am passing on a Satellite Pro A40 to a brother. It is in very good condition, but has slowed down over the years. I want to get rid of my data (I have on a new machine) and speed up the system by formatting the hard drive.

  The machine didn't come with a disc for Windows XP, or a recovery CD (just a CD "tools and utilities"). I'm sure the drive HARD will be partitioned, and I can format the drive without such a disc.

  If this is true, how should I do?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I can't believe that you do not have recovery media.
  The laptop must be supplied with recovery CD, Tools & Utilities CD, and WinDVD.

  But back to your question;
  If you insert a new HARD disk, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows to install the operating system.
  The new drive is not partitioned HARD and doesn't have any OS pre-installed!

  If you n t have the original CD of Microsoft OS you can contact the service provider allowed in your country and you can order it.

  I hope I could help

• Satellite Pro A40 - sound skips when loading programs

  PC: Toshibe Satellite Pro A40
  Sound card drivers: Soundmax integrated digital audio

  Hello

  When I bought my Toshiba Satellite Pro A40 my audio is not affected by loading programs and any other activities that could slow down my computer.

  I had to resinstall windows a few months back when my HD crashed.

  I reloaded all my drivers etc. and installed itunes.

  When I play music or any audio I listen to jump seriously when loading programs or when processes are performed on my computer.

  This used to be the case, I tried to change my settings from quicktime to run in safe mode, I even now deleted quicktime and itunes that I thought it was the source of the problems.

  Nothing worked, my sound is still seriously affected when my processor is busy

  I uninstalled, reinstalled my sound card drivers, but nothing has worked...

  I would really appreciate it if you have all the settings I could change to stop this problem.

  My voice through my microphone breaks a lot, so the people at the other end of a VOIP call can barely hear me... it's driving me crazy!

• Replace the drive DVD/CD-RW on my Satellite Pro A40

  Hello

  Does anyone know if a Toshiba DVD/CD-RW drive with model number SD-R2412 will be compatible with my Satellite Pro A40? If not, anyone know where I could find? Some muggins broke the CD drive on my laptop by bumping the case off a cargo cover. As a result, I can't claim on the warranty... statement of accidental damage... bah. :-(

  A friend of mine, think the new drive can need CSEL or M/S setting... What is it exactly and I need for an A40 Pro Sat? The laptop model number is PSA45E - 0184H - EN

  Thank you!!

  Hello

  Sorry, but I can't tell you which model will fit your laptop because there is not a public document on this subject. I know that your drive is set up and if the warranty is still valid you should not o alone because you can lose your warranty. I also found information that your device may also use a DVD-R, - RW drive. These types of information have all authorized partners. Try to contact them. I'm sure they can give you correct information on this subject.

• You are looking for an internal DVD drive for a Satellite Pro A40

  Hello

  I'm looking for an internal DVD burner for a model Satellite Pro A40 2.88 Celeron with a currently installed CD-RW/DVD-Rom. My mother is the owner of this laptop and I want to upgrade the drive for her.

  Does anyone here know of any number of model of the DVD-RW/CD-RW/DVD-Rom that is compatible with this model.

  I want the drive to function as a DVD-Rom/CD-RW also because I do not want to lose these features. Swap the bezel above if necessary isn't a problem for me.

  Thank you

  Hello
  For this particular model, I could not find another A40 Pro which has a DVD - RW, only DVD ROM. I also suggest to buy an external DVD - RW writer because an internal hard drive will cost much more. Probably triple what external there. External, you can find for about 50 but internal will cost at least about 90 more taxes. I'm sure it is internal that correspond to this machine, but at the moment I don't have the time to research each compatible model search of the car, it's why I suggest an external drive. I hope this helps.

• Satellite Pro A40 guard stop with the ATI driver error message

  My girls having some problems with her laptop and get back to Uni at the end of week for me to have a look on.

  Basically, he keeps closing sometimes with an ATI graphics driver error message. I had updated the memory last Christmas and resinstalled from scratch.

  My first impressions are it is overheating and I probably need to clean the fan, was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

  Thank you very much
  Keith (South end)

  Satellite Pro A40 is about 3 years old and it is possible that the unit needs to be cleaned. If the appliance is used intensively, I assume that there is more dust inside. By overheating of the appliance stops suddenly without any warning.

  As a first step the device. I don't know if it's the right idea to do it alone, but if you are familiar with laptops, you can give a try. After having done that, your daughter should carefully watch what happens the next few days.

• Cannot start Windows Vista on Satellite Pro A40

  I haven't used my Satellite Pro A40 for awhile and I'm now greeted with a black BACK screen with an error message saying that Windows XP could not start properly.
  I have had this once before but when I waited so that Windows starts normally it was fine.

  This time he just continues to move toward opening screen windows then the Toshiba screen then back to the black screen again.

  I read somewhere here that now the key 0 when starting may solve the problem, but there is no mention of this in the manual of the A40, and when I tried it on the off-chance that is nothing past.

  Any ideas?
  Help, please!

  Thank you

  Hello

  > I read somewhere here that now the key 0 when starting may solve the problem, but there is no mention of this in the manual of the A40, and when I tried it on the off-chance that is nothing past.

  Don t think that this procedure works on your Pro A40. It is a European series and as much as I know this option (by pressing the 0) is not available on European laptops.
  What you could do is try to start in safe mode by pressing the F8 key immediately after power on.

  She she s not possible to start the operating system using the safe mode then a reinstallation of the new system would be desirable

• Need drivers XP for Satellite Pro A40

  Just do a fresh install of XP on a Satellite Pro A40 of second hand. Various onboard devices are not known (of in XP Device Manager) and I can't go through the process of "Install new hardware" that I don't have the drivers. The devices are mainly the Multimedia Sound Audio Card and the PCI Modem. I don't know what manufacturer made these, as XP ID device as unknown Manager.

  Anyone have any ideas or tips on how I can get the sound and PCI modem to work?

  (I'm not using the laptop for this message, even if it has access to the Internet).

  Thank you

  Looking for XP drivers?

  You can find all the XP drivers on the European driver Toshiba page!

  For the multimedia and Audio sound card, you need to install the audio driver and Modem PCI-> modem driver.

  You will find everything on the page of the driver.

  But note that buddy, there are also a few QFE Ms. This is usual Microsoft patches and fixes that are necessary and essential for the installation of the driver.

  Also check the Microsoft Windows XP SP2 update information. Sometimes the only drivers or utilities must be updated after the installation of service packs for MS!

• Satellite Pro P100 (PSPA4A-005002) - no sound after installing Win7

  I've updated my laptop Satellite Pro P100 from Windows XP to Windows 7. I ran the custom installation of Windows 7 while I did not any problem of Windows XP system and I used a separate hard drive. This way I can reinstall the hard drive with XP and go back and use XP if I am not satisfied with Windows 7. Among the problems I encounter is that I can't ge the noise at work.

  The speaker in the lower right corner icon has a red x on it. In Device Manager, the high definition Audio Device a "this device cannot start. (Code 10) "in the State of the device. The driver installation of guard is the version "Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385 version dated from 13/07/2009" driver. I tried to install the driver (Vista) recommended in the page Web of Toshiba "Upgrade your Toshiba PC to Windows 7". This driver has not worked. Windows also displays the error message "Driver Installation rating: could not find the media for this driver device.»

  I searched the web high and low and all the recommendation I found does not work.

  If someone has encountered this problem and have you found a solution?

  Hello

  Maybe you used the wrong audio driver. The 10 error always appears if an incorrect or incompatible driver was used.
  I recommend the audio driver again.

  As far as I know the laptop supports a Conexant audio chip.
  There are some models of different laptops that support the same sound chip.

  See the European driver of Toshiba page and choose for example the Satellite P300
  This assumption of the model driver audio Conexant and I recommend that you install this driver!

• Satellite Pro A40 - how to turn on wireless?

  Hello

  I recently formatted and installed Windows XP Professional on a Toshiba Satellite Pro A40.
  But I can't understand how to activate Wifi on the computer.

  When I press FN + F8, nothing happens. All the drivers are installed properly, no errors appear in the Device Manager in Windows. Do I have to install specific drivers, like I used to use the other FN keys (I needed to install common Modules)?

  I also have a (Linksys Wireless - G WPC54G) PCMCIA card. When I put the card in the laptop, the power led flashes once, but also nothing happens. This card is not compatible with this laptop?

  Please can you give me some advice?

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Nothing

  Hey,.

  What is the card listed WLAN correctly in Device Manager? Or you see yellow exclamation points or unknown devices?

  Maybe you should try to update the WLAN driver. On the Toshiba site, you can find the most recent version.

  You should also tell us what happens if you search for your WLAN router. The WIFI connection is displayed in network connections?

• Change HDD on Satellite Pro A40

  Hello!

  I have a hard drive dead in my Satellite Pro A40, and I would like to replace it.
  Please tell me which model suits me. The size of 40 to 80 GB hard drive.

  Thank you!

  This old model was offered with 30 GB, 40 GB or 60 GB HDD. In my opinion you shouldn't have any problem, upgrade with 80 GB or even with max 100GB / 120 GB HDD.

  For example check please model Toshiba MK1032GAX. It is the old model with IDE interface and must be perfect for your machine.

  Incidentally: of course this old piece of equipment can scale up to 2 GB of RAM. How do you currently use? What operating system do you use?
  Sorry for the question, but it really is fascinating that many people still use old machines WXP. :)
