Tecra M9 - Windows 2000 ACPI

I am trying to install Windows 2000 on a Tecra M9 (model PTM90).

I slipstreamed successfully Intel Matrix Storage Controller drivers in my Windows 2000 installation disc, but the Installer Blue-screens in trying to detect the ACPI BIOS. At this point, the stop message tells me I can start Windows installation and press F7 to avoid the ACPI control. I tried and managed to get Windows 2000 is installed, but power management has failed. The laptop detects even when he was running on battery - not very helpful!

I tried updating to the latest version of the BIOS (1.60), but Windows 2000 install always fails.

Moreover, most of the hardware works under Windows 2000, even if installers on the Toshiba site claim to be for XP.

Is anyone know how make ACPI work properly on this laptop under Windows 2000?

Cheers, Giles.

Hello

Uh, you're trying to install what? Why?

Why are you trying to install an NT-based OS that is as old as your machine, what is VISTA compatible (which doesn't mean you should install Vista :)))
Gets an old, incompatible and not supported operating system which makes the machine slow (because the socket driver is really not good) and does not work properly.

If you need advice: remove it and work with a newer operating system. And if you need the computer as a SERVER, use Linux. But avoid the Win2000. :)

Welcome them

  • Tecra S3 - Windows 2000 hangs on reboot

    Hi all

    I have a Tecra S3 dual boot Windows XP and 2000, with the correct RAID driver installed for each of them.

    In Windows 2000, it hangs for a reset. It is necessary feed the computer works in order to complete the reset.

    This problem does not occur in Windows XP and BACK. Is there someone else by using Windows 2000 with this model?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Well, it's not easy to say why this problem occurs. I assume that you have installed the W2k since the original Windows CD. In this case, it is very important to install the driver Toshiba, tools and utilities in the correct order.
    On the Toshiba download page I found a statement of installation for W2k. This list gives you a good driver installation information. Please see this document.

  • Tecra M2 mapping of the keyboard in Windows 2000

    Hi all

    I have a Tecra M2 on which the WinXP was removed and replaced by a new installation of Windows 2000 SP4 (I prefer not to go into detail as to why this took place).

    My problem is that the keyboard mapping is not correct under Win2000, for example if I press shift + 2 I get a @ and not a '. '. The problem exists with almost all the characters of Maj (' |,-,', ~,', ', @, #, etc..).

    Note that I don't use any software that remaps the keyboard.

    Does anyone know how this bee fixed?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I have the same problem on my laptop, but I don't have time to look at the problem until I saw this ad...

    Here is the answer for Windows XP, I guess it's the same for Windows 2000, because the systems are similar.

    Under start/setting/control panel, you will find the icon "regional and Language Options". Double click it and you get a new window. Select the folder "Language" then "Details". A new Windows pop up and from there you can select 'Add' services 'install '. Select your language to enter the menu drop-down, then click on 'OK '. Ensure that the value "default input language" is correct, then click 'OK' and click on 'OK '.

    Normally, the operating system needs to restart to set the hardware!

    Your keyboard should work correctly after the next system startup.

    Let me know if it works for you

  • Tecra S1 under Windows 2000 Professional external display problem

    As I can't answer in the original thread (1831), because it is locked, I put here my answer to the answer of the Quad.

    Quad first wanted to know if we have installed the Tecra S1 on a recovery CD.

    No, we do not have. We have created an image that consists of an unattended installation. It is installed from a Windows 2000 RIS server.

    Quad also said that the Fn + F5 is enabled after the installation of the utility Hotkey for display devices.

    We downloaded the hotkey utility, but when we tried to install it we got the error message you "Driver not found" and suspended installation. We have installed as a user with administrator privileges.

    We do something wrong, or this utility owes something to be installed as well?

    Kind regards

    Hi again Mr. Hofman,

    First of all I must tell you that this is a typical problem. AFAIK Tecra S1 comes with the Professional Windows XP Home edition and optionally with W2000 professional. This two OS has been tested and Toshiba offers all drivers and tools to Toshiba download website.

    It will be interesting how you created this image. What was the basis for this image? You are installed to the first completely Tecra and after created image?

    Have you had problems before the creation of the image?

  • Tecra M2V crashes during the Windows 2000 format

    I'm working on the installation of Windows 2000 for a laptop Tecra M2V in my school. The installation process crashes when the disk has reached 6% format. It is always in the same place that the deadlock occurs. Is there a way to get around this, or can I change a setting in the bios Setup? Any help appreciated.

    Hello

    Not easy to say what can be the problem, but if the formatting process always freezes at the same place I assume that there is a problem with the HARD drive sector faulty or bad. I recommend you to check the HARD drive using a tool. Google a bit and you will find many tools for free.

  • Error message at startup in Windows 2000, "Tcmsvr.dll, the file is missing.

    We get the same error messages three times at the start of Windows 2000 on some of our companys computers: "Tcmsvr.dll, file is missing. Computers are Tecra s1 models.

    What driver Toshiba is this related to?

    Hello

    I studied a bit and it seems that this file should be placed in the system32 folder.
    In my opinion, this file is part of Toshiba common modules.
    I m not 100% sure, but you can try to refresh (restore) the common modules.

  • Satellite M30X windows 2000 installation problem

    I noticed ribooth has also posted a message with the same problem... but I haven't seen a real answer. The problem: if I try to install Windows 2000 Professional (including SP2) on my satellite M30X-130. The windows 2000 Setup program crashes with a "page in a no fault paged area" in acpi.sys just at the moment where the status in the status bar has been changed from windows 2000. If I press F7 during startup, acpi support is disabled and no page error occurs but the windows 2000 installation hangs on "the first screen" where you should be able to start, stop and? installation. There is no additional hardware installed and I'm unable to partition and format the HD with W2k. If I do it with win98 and create a FAT32 partition and try to install w2k on it I get the same ' page in a no fault paged area "acpi.sys error. Any suggestions to fix this?

  • Satellite 1605cds: RAM has not reported in Windows 2000

    Hello

    I have a 2nd hand Toshiba Satellite 1605cds/4.3 (amd k6-2 450 mhz basic system).
    It has 32 MB of ram on board and a dimm slot - so put in a memory of 128 MB.

    But I read this Web page:

    http://fandelem.com/toshiba2.html

    where it says it can be improved with a 256 MB memory module!

    I have it plugged in and it correctly sees 288 MB (32 MB onboard 256 MB on housing) in the bios.
    When I boot from the partition of Windows 98 Second edition, it shows the 288 amount of ram.

    .. .but when I boot on the partition of Windows 2000 Professional, it displays a blue screen saying that the bios is not an improved ACPI bios. It says that I have to push the F7 key during the installation of Windows 2000 to disable ACPI and install HAL.

    But if I remove the 256 MB slot, Windows 2000 starts correctly without any problem.

    I tried to reinstall Windows 2000 by pushing the F7 key during installation, but then Windows 2000 shows that the 32 MB of ram.

    So, what can I do to run Windows 2000 and 256 MB module?
    The bios is the last that can be downloaded on the web page of toshiba.

    Thanks to all and sorry for my English.

    Hello

    According to your description W2k said to update the layer HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). In Windows 2000, there are several ways to solve the problems associated with the material (HAL, Hardware Abstraction Layer) Abstraction layer that may occur due to bad detection, an obsolete or non compliant Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) or incorrectly installed computer type or manually.

    For more information, please see this Microsoft support site:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/237556

    But as I know Toshiba supports the 128 MB only on this unit and if you want to use more ram you can do at your own risk!
