Satellite Pro L40 - Vista display lack of virtual memory message

Hello

new here on this forum, hope someone can help,

I have a series of satellite Pro L40, I'm trying to free up memory space I get the prompt "virtual memory is low", Vista (c) shows 3.28 GB free of 37.2 GB & data (E :) shows 100% free, I just replced both modules of memory with x 2 1 GB 200 pin Sodimm memory upgrades but Vista is still to display only 3.28 GB of free space) , any idea?

Your very confused!, Mike.

Hi Mike,.

I think you mixed a lot of The RAM (Random Access Memory) has * nothing * to do with disk space von Vista (c).
Vista with low disk space partition is stored on the HARD disk and the second partition (E :) as well.
RAM and HARD drive are completely different. All your data/files are stored on the HARD drive because the RAM is no place to save the data.

In any case, I think you need to move some files from partition C: to E: partition like photos, music, etc. Then, you can get rid of this error message.

I think that this document could be useful for you:

  • Satellite Pro L40 - Vista C drive empty data complete player E

    I have an old two-year L40 Pro Satellite entered pre loaded with Vista.

    Now have a constant problem with "low disk space on drive C of the Vista.

    As a data reader E I'm puzzled as to what to do to use the 26.1 GB of unused space on the E drive.

    Hello

    Why you n t store all you things like images, videos, MP3s etc on the E partition?
    I use partition C (System partition) for my system Windows, programs, tools and utilities
    All other files (images, videos, MP3s, documents, etc.) are stored on the second partition.

    I recommend doing it so you can move some files to E in order to get more free space on C.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - where to get the Vista recovery disc?

    I lost my business vista recovery cd rom by wrong cd rom is broken.
    hope someone can help me,

    Hi sherin2222,

    That's no problem because you can order a new Toshiba recovery disc directly but I m not 100% sure if it is possible for the older by Satellite Pro L40. Just check out the recovery shop:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    If you can t find, ask the ASP in your country. Guys can order such a disc.

  • Vista 64 bit on Satellite Pro L40

    I installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit on my Satellite pro L40 and I downloaded all the necessary drivers for this OS, but I can't use the FN keys and volume on my keyboard.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why they won't work, I had Vista Home Basic on the machine before and they worked very well.

    The FN and the other keys work fine it's just the sound that does not work.

    Hello

    I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and there are not many Vista 64-bit drivers for this unit L40. Your FN buttons don t work because you didn t install the driver necessary or tool that controls this feature.

    I found a tool called Hotkey Utility, which was published in the Vista 32 bit driver section.
    You can try to install it on your Vista 64 bit version, but to be honest I m nit sure if it will work
    If she will not run, then you must use Vista 64-bit without the functionality of the FN button.

  • Have now installed XP on my Satellite Pro L40-134 that had OS Vista as OEM

    high-definition Intel (azalia) codec adi ad1986a audio

    Hi, I have a problem a lot of time with the sound on my laptop.
    Description
    * No sound
    * An exclamation in device saying management "Audio device high definition Audio Bus".
    I removed Vista (which came with) and installed a genuine XP PRO SP3
    Downloaded all the drivers from the Toshiba Download Center (used the Satellite Pro L40 - 17 H, this is a similar model with XP as the operating system OEM)
    Installed in the correct order according to "how to install" Toshibas pdf

    Had a typical saying "Audio Modem Bus High Definition Audio" for awhile, but it disappeared during the installation of the drivers in the correct order.

    Now I sculled the Earth for a solution, but found nothing.

    Answers to these questions would be very apprechiated.
    What is my motherboard model name?
    who is the manufacturer of the MoBo?
    Who made my equipped with a sound card?

    The best course would be if I could get a link to a nice download that solved my problem.

    All the best.

    C_sdi

    After reading your ad something was strange for me on this pdf "how to install". Now I know what the problem is here.
    Your laptop model has the name of the European model, but on the European download page, there is no pdf file "how to install".

    Now I wonder what you do exactly.
    If you check the European download page, and it's right for you, you'll notice that Toshiba doesn't offer WXP stuff for your laptop model. So you will be unable to find the proper drivers and Toshiba-specific tools and utilities, and I assume that you will not be able to complete the configuration and installation of Windows XP Home edition.

    Anyway, you can try to find the proper drivers that Googling around or you can try install stuff designed for model laptop similar but I can't say for sure if it works or not.

    On your Satellite pro motherboard is Intel 943GML + Intel® ICH7-M, then you can try to find suitable driver on Intel support page. Sound chip is ADI AD1986A.

    Good luck.

  • Re: Satellite Pro L40 - killed the laptop BIOS update

    Recently I thought it would be better to download the latest drivers and upgrades for my Satellite pro L40 to keep up-to-date and partners the laptop that works smoothly. I couldn't have worse summer. Before I updated the new driver updates I thought it would be a good idea first update the Bios. So I downloaded the update of the Bios on the Toshiba site, unzipped the files and followed the online instructions for updating the BIOS. I double clicked on the BIOS file to run the update, the laptop says it was end the session, I waited and the Toshiba logo screen came. In the instructions, it says that I have to press F2 now and confirm that the date and time are correct. I should then press F9 to load all the default values and then press F10 to save and exit. At this point, the laptop must away to the loading screen, but... I got a black screen. IV turned off the computer and turn it back on, but still, I get a blank screen. The lights are on but know one's home.

    Could a mod/staff/Board Toshiba administrator please explain to me why I'm going to draw the consequences of my lack full on my face because I followed a form of direct teaching of personnel of Toshiba or... Please run me through the process of bring back my cell partners in life, before that I get my Crown snatched jewels. This isn't a laugh. An upgrade directly from the manufacturer is not intended to cause you problems!

    Please get back to me as soon as POSSIBLE. My first son moments of life (videos, photos) are on this laptop. That cannot be replaced. Please tell me that the laptop can be fixed...

    Hello Durks

    I'm really sorry to hear you I have this problem.
    To be honest, it is not easy to discuss about this because a lot of people on this forum with a similar or same problem reacts quite aggressive if they don t hear exactly the thing they want to hear.

    In any case, I just want to write my comment. Don t be worried about photos and other important data. You can remove the laptop HARD drive, put it in a small box of HDD SATA 2.5 and connect the HARD drive to the other PC / laptop as external device. You will have full access to all stored data. So you can do the backup.

    Update the BIOS.
    What to say at this point?
    I have checked the Toshiba download page and saw that the BIOS update is available for Windows XP Home edition and Vista pre-installed notebooks so I hope you ve chosen the right one. Anyway, it is not easy to fix screwed up in the BIOS. You hate me now, but I think you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Call them, explain the situation and ask what you can do about it.

    I hope you will fix this laptop soon.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - drivers need to

    Hey.

    I just installed a clean version of Windows (Vista 64-bit) on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE... But I have no drivers CD or anything.
    I can't connect to internet because my Wifi does not work, because non drivers (and for some reason that I can't connect through the LAN (does not work on other portable computers as well).) And the lack of internet, it is really difficult to find drivers.

    I downloaded the drivers from this site: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    And I tried to download the LAN drivers wireless from here: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads
    But I'm not sure which one to choose? Also, should I install the Intel drivers first? I installed them, but while restarting the computer froze and I had to force him to stop... :(

    Are there not as a driver Package, you can download, as, instead of the driver CD or something?

    I hope you can help

    ANDA H.

    Hello

    To be honest I don t understand your problem. I checked the Web from Toshiba site and there are some drivers listed and also for LAN and WLAN card. Just search for your model and Vista 64-bit. You will find a short list of necessary drivers.
    Check this box!

    In addition, you can turn on/off WLAN if you press FN + F8. Did you do that?

  • Question about the files to be transferred on the Satellite Pro L40

    I have a portable Satellite Pro L40 and bought a upgrade disk to upgrade Vista Home Basic to Vista Home Premium.
    But I can not install the upgrade because drive C is showing that only have 8 GB of space.
    Drive E has 30G of space, but I can't transfer files from C to E to free up enough space.

    Please can someone tell me how to transfer files from C to E?

    I can ask the same thing as Akuma - why can you transfer files from C to E of t?

    Open two windows in the Windows Explorer. On the left side of the C drive on the right side of drive E.
    Mark all the files on the left side and move them to the right window. When you do with the key right mouse options will be displayed. Choose the MOVE option and I hope that the adaptation procedure will be launched.

    Have you ever tried to do this?
    An error message appears on the screen?

    Question sorry but described is completely illogical.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - 15A - Windows XP screen white when the cover is open

    Hey,.

    So when I closed the lid on my laptop for a while and then reopen the lid, the screen remains white (black). The only way I found to get back on the screen is to re-boot.
    In power management, I put 'Status quo' for when I close the lid on my computer and power management is ' Always on '.

    I have the latest Bios and updates to the system.

    Any help appreciated.

    Hi ib1.

    You use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or is it your own installation?

    What to update the display driver? Take a look at the Toshiba page for the new display driver:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Don t forget to look in the * archives * on Toshiba page because this model is a little older, so all of the downloads are moved in archive.

  • Problem with the software Modem on Satellite Pro L40

    I tried to set up a connection Dial-Up Networking on a Satellite Pro L40 running Vista and can't get the modem to talk to the modem from the ISP. The connection appears OK and then you can hear the modem dial, but when the ISP picks up there is a bit of yelling and then my modem abandons the connection and I get the standard vista connection failed box.

    Things I've tried:
    -latest drivers for the 2.1.77.0 modem (and the rest of the system) downloaded from Toshiba and installed OK
    -all the updates of windows installed
    -removal of the modem in the Manager of peripherals and re - install
    -suppression of the agrsmdel.exe and then re-install
    -try different cables to plug into the phone jack
    -several different ISPS and phone numbers
    -reduce the maximum speed of the connection
    -connection to the same ISP with my Satellite L10; works very well never have time!
    -using the windows to diagnose and repair the tool (set last resort!); says that the modem works fine and can not find a problem with the connection

    Is it possible that the update of the BIOS on the laptop would make a difference (currently v 1.60)? I did some research on Google and found messages on various forums, which suggests that the connection between the motherboard and the modem chip is a little doubtful for all the Agere Soft Modem; If the case is it something I can fix myself or I should go for warranty repair?

    Midders

    Hello

    I'm sure that there is no problem with your modem, but with the configuration or even s ISP modem. I recommend you to speak with the support of the ISP.

  • Satellite Pro L40: black screen but faint image in background

    Satellite Pro L40 - 17 H (PSL4BE-00T005EN)

    Hello

    I would appreciate your help with the following problem:

    SYMPTOMS: The screen is black, but I see that there is a faint image in background.
    I get a good picture in the external monitor.

    I suspect, _among others_, there may be a faulty * cover sensor / switch *, but I have been unable to locate him, although I have disassembled the unit.

    If anyone knows, please let me have the exact * location * where I should look for the switch.
    Thank you

    > I think, among other things, that there may be a faulty lid switch/sensor

    No, I do not think that its sensor problem.
    I guess that the FL inverter is faulty.

    The FL inverter controls the backlight of the LCD display module.
    Therefore, this part should be checked and if necessary, it must be replaced.
