• Tecra 8000: W2K - how to operate the 2 screens at the same time

  I have a tecra 8000 with win 2000 pro is installed.

  Everything works fine with one exception...
  Press the [fn] [f5] keys to use the device outside.

  Is there a way I can get it to run 2 screens at the same time (either cloned or, preferably tv being a secondary monitor)?

  If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful

  Thank you

  I'm not familiar with the Tecra 8000 and W2K operating system. If there I sno good driver on Toshiba download page (I assume W2K is not supported for this model of laptop), please try to find the driver somewhere on the net. I found some info your unit has NeoMagic NM2200 (MagicMedia 256av) video card.

  To use an external monitor as a second monitor, or extended display just try to use the Windows settings in display properties.

• Tecra 8000 with Win2k - how to start in DOS?

  What I want to do is to create an image of the current operating system partition with Ghost 2003 BACK utility loaded on a CD instead of a floppy.

  I have an old Tecra 8000 borrowed my gal friend. It has Win2k Pro installed.
  After d/ing a pdf of the manual, it seems he came originally with Win98 installed.
  The manual says to use the diskette "Companion" to enter the BACK.
  The diskette only d/l that I can find is for Win 98/Win98se.

  So, my questions:
  1. the diskette of Win98 works with Win2k?
  2. preferably, how can I open a CD with BACK before the start of the OS?
  I can't enter startup. But this does not allow me to access the CD-ROM drive.

  I hope it's an easy process that I am too blind to see.

  Two weeks ago, that I created the image using a program Norton Ghost 2003.
  I created a CD image and Ghost was asked to create a floppy disk back.
  I've never used this disc because I don t have a floppy drive, but I guess you can use this disk to boot from them and access to the ghost CD.

• How to get to his work on W2k on Tecra 8000?

  Is it possible to get the sound to work on a Tecra 8000 using windows 2000 pro? I just upgraded from win 98 and the audio driver install the Yamaha opl3-sax, but there is no sound. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling different drivers, but none seems not to work.

  Hello

  I also recommend to check the Device Manager. If there is no yellow exclamation next to the sound card, so I would say that the audio driver has succeeded not installed and there must be something wrong with the audio settings.
  Have you checked the sound and audio devices in the control panel? You should check all the audio controller if they are defined at the top level.
  In addition, I would recommend controls the controller of volume on the side of the laptop. People sometimes forget to define. ;)

• Tecra 8000 on XP pro... How to adjust the brightness

  Hello

  I recently bought a Tecra 8000 with XP Pro installed.
  Unfortunately the LCD display too bright, but I can find no way of setting it.

  I understand that there is a brightness of toshiba laptop display utility.
  Can someone tell me if there is one for XP and if possible to direct me to it

  see you soon
  Michael

  Hello

  Usually, the FN + F6 and FN + F7 key combination decreases or increases the brightness of the display.
  But this only works if the Toshiba drivers are pre-installed. So check first if you have installed all the drivers needed and utilities on your laptop.

  Do you know where to find the necessary drivers on the Toshiba page?

  You can use a drive enclosure external DRIVE with USB port for this.

• How to install the latest version of the BIOS Tecra m2

  How to install the latest BIOS P000Bv160 on a M2. install toshiba BIOS instructions say to use a floppy disk, but the file size is 1.48 MB so not fit on a 1.44 MB diskette. can I use a USB?

  Are you sure that you have read the statement on the right?

  AFAIK it's win-BIOS version (windows version) and not a version TRAD (traditional), so the update of the BIOS must be running OS.

  There should be an exe file that must be executed to start the update of the BIOS!

  Please check the instruction again!

• Need help installing a Tecra 8000 wireless

  I just bought the wife an old laptop tecra 8000 and like to run wifi on it, I bought a d-link router and a d-link usb adapter, but he said I would impose a usb high speed and it n, t, raise the router a pcmia card would work better, also can anyone suggest a modem/router and card that works on it, any help is appreciated...

  Hello

  The Tecra 8000 supports only USB 1.1 standard.
  Are high speed USB 2.0 ports
  Many USB devices are designed only for USB 2.0 and I guess that your USB WLan adapter also supports the 2.0 standard.

  The PCMCIA should work better. There is no standard limitations as on the USB ports.

  Try to change some settings in the BIOS.
  In the configuration box, you can set the configuration of device option to all devices.
  In addition, in the area PC card, you can try changing the compatible option CCIP or CardBus / 16-bit.

  Play with these settings and check if a this will allow the card.

  PS: Have you installed all the drivers that should be shipped with this card?

• Tecra 8000 BIOS update

  Help... my first visit on this forum looking for a kindly soul to out me of trouble. My wife has a Tecra 8000 (European version) with P2 400 mhz. To start, she "prepares for the BIOS update". I managed to find what seems to me to be good download on this site, the 'traditional' version for computers that do not run on 500 mhz or higher? Only problem is that I know this must be installed through FDD we have with the laptop, but we have no way to open the file on disk. Neither our computers from home or at work have a floppy drive to open and copy the downloaded file. We were wondering if anyone has a copy, or access to a floppy drive to produce a copy and send it to us? We would be more than happy incurred to help us.

  Hello Brian

  Please check this page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=BIOS&FI D = TRO0000000b07. It is described how you can create the BIOS update disk, and the correct procedure of updating the BIOS for your laptop model.

  It is not complicated. I'm sure you can do it alone.

  Good luck!

• Corrupt BIOS on Tecra 8000

  I have a Tecra 8000 flea market some time ago and Mepis Linux is installed. Everything worked fine until I gave it to my sister who spilled a cup of tea top.

  Allowed us to dry out, but now, although it seems to be 'living' I get the message "ready for the update of the BIOS. Please place BIOS update diskette in the drive snd press a key when you are ready to move forward. "when I turn on the monitor.

  I hope that this suggests I can restart the machine, if I install a new BIOS.
  However, there is no floppy drive on this computer in which you insert a floppy disk!

  I tried to download a BIOS upgrade and save it on a CD, but it is not recognized, probably because there is not BIOS.

  Does anyone have suggestions as to how I could try to get the machine working again?

  There is a floppy driver for Tecra 8000 with a special connector.
  You need a floppy drive!
  Check on ebay for it or try to contact your local Toshiba service. They may have this player.

• The upgrade of Tecra 8000

  Recently, I have a Tecra 8000 that I got from work they were buying new laptops. After you install windows 2000 on it, I gave it a spin. I was surprised how quickly that this little machine has.
  If anyone any ideas on how to get a free manual for it and upgrade tips? (graphics for example)

  Mikey'it,

  You can download the manual from the following link:

  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/Tecra/T8000/manual/userman-T8000-en.zip

  The graphics chip is on the system board, so you will not be able to improve it. However, you can add more memory, for example.
