Satellite Pro U300 and XP - driver VGA update problem

Firstly a bit of background.

I have attached a new Del ST2320Lf monitor on my laptop Toshiba U300. The native resolution is 1920 x 1080.

The highest resolution I can select them using the display properties > settings is 1280 x 1024.

So on the site web of Toshiba I down loaded the XP VGA driver
VGA_INTEL - 6.14.10.5016 - XP.exe
When I try to install it, I get this error
"The pilot is not validated for this computer. You can get the correct driver from the manufacturer of the computer.

Then, I went on the website of toshiba and downloaded a new bios. -Installed OK. Re started. Then tried to install the video driver-> the same mistake.

Went on the website of Intel and clicked a button that p
and got this error
A detected product IntelĀ® GM965
Current driver installed 6.14.10.4831
A custom computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update utility is not able to update the driver. Install a generic Intel driver instead of the driver from the computer manufacturer custom can cause technical problems. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.

Called in support of the Toshiba Australia, who says "XP never came out for this model" I was unable to convince the guy to be liberated because I have records of origin with Toshiba written on them and I installed these drives XP image earlier this year. (Yes, it came with Vista pre installed but it also came with the downgrade image discs).

He suggested that I needed a thing called "Toshiba Value added Package".
I only found on downloads for U300 and XP OS.

What to do next.

Ideas and suggestions welcome.

Can you please send us model mobile exact so that we can check the specifications of the laptop and see if this model is supported for Windows XP Home edition. If so, all the drivers for Windows XP Home edition must be available on the Toshiba support page to THE.

See also document s user manuals. There you should find the table with all the resolutions supported for external displays.

By the way: Toshiba value added is designed for Vista and Win7. It doesn t exist for Windows XP Home edition. On Toshiba WXP specific software works on another way. .

  • Satellite Pro U300: Low resolution on external LCD screen and a station

    I've got Satellite Pro U300 and LCD HP1907v and PA3542E-2PRP - docking station.

    When I connect external LCD for laptop - resolution is OK (1440 x 900). But when I connect the external LCD display in a docking station - the resolution is lower(), I can't change it, and I don't have some display options under Fn + F5 (that I had when I passed this lcd directly to the laptop).

    Help me find a solution, please!

    Yes. Latest Dynadock software must be installed.
    I checked the hardware specifications of the dynadock with DVI-d port and DVI supports a maximum external resolution UXGA (1,600 x 1,200) 24-bit.

  • Satellite Pro U300 shows "Unmountable_Boot_Volume" message

    I hope someone can help me...

    I have a Satellite Pro U300 and recently she comes with a stop with the message Unmountable_Boot_Volume error screen.

    Starting the machine, told me that windows did not start properly due to a problem of HW or SW. I gives me the options to start windows normally, go back to the last good configuration known or open in safe mode, however all these lead to the error message Unmountable_Boot_Volume.

    I am responsible to ensure that all new HW or SW is installed correctly and disable them if necessary. However, I have not installed anything recently and the computer was working fine.

    The error message appears for 4 seconds, and then the computer restarts and appears with the same startup message and continues in this circle reboot after each stop error message.

    I'm not a computer whizz as you probably can, but I would be very happy if someone knows what happened to my computer!

    Sometimes the file system can get damaged due to power outages or viruses or bad RAM.

    First of all, you should check the disk for bad sectors. Run the test Advanced in DFT (it is a bootable CD or a floppy disk):
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT

    Then, try to fix the file system by plugging the drive on another PC using a USB 2.5 "SATA HDD adapter. Run CHKDSK on the drive.

    If this does not work, you can try to repair Windows by going to the Recovery Options in the Windows Start Menu (press F8 before Windows starts).

  • Satellite Pro U300: Battery LED indicates low power using Linux

    Hello

    I have Satellite Pro U300 and I'm using Linux.
    I have a problem of opinion on my PC, it does not indicate that the battery is low (without flashing) and lights out.

    What this indicator a software driven or it's a hardware problem on my laptop?

    Another small problem that was Watch not remember brightness for battery mode.

    > Another small problem that was Watch not remember brightness for battery mode.

    Please don't be angry with me, but first I would not talk about problems if you use Linux on the Toshiba laptop. Is that Linux is not supported and that's why some features of laptops may not work properly.

    About the light battery;
    The LEDs are controlled by the BIOS. As you know the laptop was running Vista and so the BIOS support for Vista.
    As I said above, if you use another OS like XP or possibly Linux so some features may not work properly.

  • Can not install the latest driver from Intel on my Satellite Pro U300-10 display

    "Act of war" and others.

    The pilot is the revision of the pilot: 15.12.4.1666, March 5, 2009
    It is supossed to be the latest driver for the video card U300: MOBILE INTEL 965 Express chipset family.

    Drivers designed for laptops are changed and adapted to provide performance fairly, but not to force a graphics card to run on the limit. As you probably know there are big difference between office and mobile graphics cards.

    Desktop graphics cards have no limits with cooling and drivers can be updated very often. Design of portable computers is completely different and all hardware components are placed on the square. The common problem with laptops is to design the system of cooling, small but effective.
    Because of all these reasons, display drivers must be tested and adapted by the laptop manufacturers. The main point is to protect the material. The same situation is with other manufacturers of graphics card. They don't offer drivers for laptops.

    If your graphics card will blow that will be responsible for this Toshiba or Intel?

    By the way: Satellite Pro U300 is for me a laptop of small business and certainly not designed for games. Do you agree with me?

  • Satellite Pro U300 BIOS update BACK

    Anyone know if I can upgrade the BIOS of my Satellite Pro u300 from a floppy boot BACK, or another way to do an update without Windows? The downloaded utility seems to work only in Windows, I do not use.

    I tried to launch a live Windows CD (BartPE and Ultimate boot CD) but it does not start or shows no graphics.

    I have problems with some hardware and hopes that an update of the BIOS.

    Thank you.

    No, you can not day BACK because Toshiba driver BIOS European page provides only the version of the BIOS win.

    For an update of the BIOS BACK you would need an update of the special BIOS that is not published on the page and is available for Toshiba technicians!

  • Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) standby & hibernation fails after updating BIOS

    Hello

    I wonder if it is common that after the upgrade of the Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) of the BIOS 2.50 at BIOS 3, 70 - Win or 3, 90 - Win, do sleep modes and Hibernate the * completely locked laptop computer? *

    After the upgrade, when I try to enter sleep or hibernation, the laptop turns off the LCD and gets locked so it isn't help to press and hold the power button, open/close the cover, press Fn - F3 or F4 - Fn, the only way is to disconnect the power supply and wait until the battery runs down, or simply be very rough and * disconnect the battery *.

    While the Pro U300 is locked, I hear that HARD drive and fans are also swivel - as soon they were when entering standby or hibernation mode. Very ugly behavior - you can FRY your laptop with something like that. I thought that BIOS 3.70 was faulty but unfortunatelly version 3.90 also worthless.

    Furthermore, I can't yet understand why large (70% of the zip file) file of the package to upgrade the BIOS (3.70 and 3.90)... is the portable other flashers log file?

    Your ad, I understand that the screen does not wake up after its entry in the standby or hibernation mode.
    Am I wrong?

    I noticed that Toshiba has released a new version of the Intel graphics driver.
    At this time the update is 02/20/08 and the version is 6.14.10.4831.

    Maybe you should try to update the display driver too check to see if it would help to get rid of this annoying display problem

    I recommend to remove the old version of the graphics driver first, then install the new downloaded driver.

    Mate good luck

    In your case I would uninstall the Realtek LAN driver.

    In addition, in the DOS command window, you can try to run this command:
    * Ipconfig / renew *.

  • The maximum size of HARD drive the BIOS sees in Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series systems

    I want to switch the HARD disk in my Satellite Pro 4340. I know the 4200 and 4300 SP series can take at least a 20 GB HARD drive that I've already updated a SP4270 and SP4280 drives from 20GB already.

    I did a search on assignments earlier re. Satellite Pro 4200 and computers portable 4300 series as various other contributors of this forum had already asked this question. A respondent suggested that they had installed a 60 GB HARD disk without problem.

    Someone at - it else mounted a big HARD drive (or more even) in these notebooks series 4200 and 4300 and managed to do work OK and had the BIOS to recognize the total size of the HARD drive?

    What is the largest swap HDD that someone did with success on these machines of 4200/4300?

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to find accurate information about it. All you can find are reports from other users. I am really interested about other views.

    By the way: 60 GB HARD drive is not sufficient for you?

  • Satellite Pro U300 - it just freezes and makes a noise

    Hello!

    I think I have a very similar problem!
    Since I bought my computer happens but not on startup. When I'm with her, she just freezes, makes a loud noise and I can't do anything to turn off, I need to use the same radical technique! Hold the reset button and sometimes I need to remove my battery.
    Now, it happens almost every day.

    I don't know how to run these disc harder than self-test or BIOS, try to find out what the problem with my computer. I have a Satellite Pro U300. Could someone help me?
    I hope that we will find what's wrong.
    Ah! Now I use windows 7 and Vista and the problem happens both...

    Thanks in advance,

    Fernanda

    Hi fefalm,

    If you have this problem, because you bought your computer, why you didn t contact a service provider authorized to solve the problem or ask a seller for a replacement one?
    If your laptop is still under warranty, contact the nearest authorized service provider!

    If that happens on different operating systems, it seems to be a malfunction of the equipment. Theoretically, it could be related to the HARD drive or another part

    The HARD disk, you can test with special diagnostics as Drive Fitness Test Tools. ask Google to find.
