• Tecra A4 and Win7 - problems with PCMCIA card driver

  I've recently updated my old laptop Tecra A4 - PTA42E - (in great condition however) for Windows 7 and it is now in the best shape ever except for the PCMCIA card. In fact, to have Windows 7 installed I had to rename the pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf files during the installation (to .old or .bak) otherwise the new operating system would not start. The same problem has been experienced by many other users Tecra A4 and the solution is available in a number of forums.

  Although I use no more than the PCMCIA card slot, I want to fix this for a reason: If, in the future, I need to re - install Windows 7 for some reason any on this laptop, I have to repeat the same process - rename the pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf during installation, in addition, the new operating system does not start.

  I do not understand that the original drivers from the card slot (Texas Instruments PCI-xx21/xx11 CardBus Controller with UltraMedia) are not compatible with Windows 7, but it is there any updated driver that works for windows 7? And if there's a how can I replace the old drivers in my system so that in the event of re - install Windows 7 I will not have to go through the same process? TI site is no help, and Toshiba does not all drivers to download.

  Last but not least, if there is a driver available, I used the card slot for 2 ports USB 2 or 3 additional which are really necessary.

  Thanks to the forum, in advance

  Hello

  The pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf files are part of the Windows System.
  This driver isn't provided by laptop manufacturer, but it is a Microsoft internal driver.

  You mentioned that the pilots of the original card slot Texas Instruments PCI-xx21/xx11 CardBus Controller with UltraMedia) are not compatible with Windows 7.

  To my knowledge, this driver does control not the PCMCIA location but this driver controls the card reader that supports the MMC card, SD card, card xd picture card, SM card, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro.

  However, the Tecra A4 is very old model of laptop. The driver will not be updated for this camera and it looks like Windows 7 drivers never had to be released the driver Toshiba UE

• Tecra M9 and compitable motherboards

  Good day to all
  My Toshiba laptop Tecra M9 PTM91E - 12R features of a faulty video card.
  I replaced this card many times, but it's always get bad after a while.
  My repair shop of my recommended to replace its motherboard in order to get a solution permanent.

  I'm not sure if I am looking for motherboards Compitable with my product

  Can someone tell me please with PART NUMBERS of SPECIFICATIONS AND motherboards that I can buy?

  Thanks in advance for your support

  > Any can advise me please with PART NUMBERS, specifications AND motherboards that I can buy?
  Hmmmm... It is not as easy as you think. Defective parts will be exchanged on mobile units with only identical hardware components. It's a completely different situation than on desktop systems.

  You can visit the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help, but you will see that they will not be able to help you.
  Fact is that Tecra M9 was offered with two hardware platforms. PTM90E and your PTM91E.

  In the end, I must say it's really strange that you have an ongoing problem with GPU defective. When everything is changed on professional way and you take care of the machine and don't forget laptop is cooled properly I don t see the reason why it should be defective over and over again.

  For 3 years I have Tecra A11 and use almost every day for my small business and there is no problem at all. OK I use for typical every day activities such as web or MS Office and not for games or other graphics intensive applications.

  Try to contact Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for advice. They should have access to the material database of Toshiba and maybe they have good advice for you.

  If possible, send feedback.

• Tecra A7 fingerprint sensor support

  Hello!

  A skier of Tecra A7 have a fingerprint sensor and some not. How will I know if my A7 has a sensor? There is a quarter on the right side of the touchpad, but it has the same color as the case of notbook.

  Hello

  Where did you come from?
  There are many models Tecra A7 but each model has been designed for a country or a region

  You can visit the Toshiba home page and check the area of product-> notebooks-> Tecra

  There you should find different units of Tecra A7 and the features supported.
  But as far as I know, that Tecra A7 with number PTA71C should support the fingerprint reader.

  By the way every mobile merchant who sells the Tecra A7 should provide or offers the right information on the details of the laptop

• Tecra M7 and Multidock question

  Hey all,.

  I am a professional designer and have always been an incredible supporter of similar to Wacom Cintiq graphics tablets. I have one of these wonderful machines in my office, but as I work for long periods, I thought that it was worth investing in something on a smaller scale that could do the same thing.

  I found brilliant Toshiba M7, and as it has decent graphics card memory and a good resolution (1400 x 900 on M7 vs 1600 x 1200 on Cintiq), I decided it was the machine for me.

  The problem came once I realize actually what actually makes the Cintiq so good - it is articulated support on which is located the monitor - it is tilting, and can be rotated almost 360 degrees, so that he can shoot from any angle.

  So now I want something similar for my M7, but I can't find anything! I saw the 2 multi-dock, but which is compatible with the Tecra M4 (which I believe is a machine of lower quality, right?), and I was up at present unable to actually find a stand universal which works the way I need.

  Help! Anyone know what it was that way for the M7, or in any way I can 'fit' the multi-station to host 2 to work with the M7? Is there a multi-welcomed 2 planned for the M7 station? If this is not the case, really will feel the effects if I downgrade to a M4, so I can have this facility?

  Thanks in advance for any info!

  CR.

  Hello

  Toshiba options & Accessories sites Web provides useful information on the compatible parts.
  Have you checked this page?

  PS: I didn t find info on the multi-station to host 2 but I guess that soothing as it could exist also for the Tecra M7 because it supports a host slot down.

• Tecra R10 and Windows 7

  Tomorrow, I'll get a Tecra with the following specifications:

  Tecra R10 - 14 d
  Type: Processador Intel® Core 2 com tecnologia vPro AP9400, ligacao of rede e Intel® GS45 Express Intel® WiFi Link 5100
  Watch speed: 2.40 GHz
  FSB: 1066 MHz
  level 2: 6 MB cache
  OS: Windows Vista® Business 32 - bit Edition Genuino (pre-wont, recovering HARD disk Toshiba)

  http://PT.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/product/Tecra-R10-14d/1071135/toshibaShop/false

  Thus, it comes with W_Vista. Can I just update it W_7 or not? Do I need a driver or something to do the update?

  Very appreciated for any response.

  Best
  Naim

  When you receive your laptop, as a first step please installation of recovery discs using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
  With other words: start preinstalled Vista and DO NOT install Win7 version clean or something because you lose the ability to create recovery discs. These discs you can use in the future if you want to have once again the factory settings.

  Back to your question:
  Tecra R10 is fully supported for Win7 and you have two options. You can do Win7 upgrade using the Toshiba upgrade kit, or you can install install Win7 clean and clean using the facilities of Microsoft disc. If you take decision clean OS install all drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance

  To be honest I prefer the new installation of the OS.

• Tecra M9 and M10 wheel Volume does not not under Vista

  Hello

  I hope that someone can help me, I'm Vista using Microsoft Deployment Workbench deployment for Tecra M9 and M10 material and the volume knob will not work. I added the drivers of Toshiba in Deployment Workbench, while they are presented the machines via Plug n Play, volume button do not work. I also deleted the drivers of Deployment Workbench and installed the drivers manually on the machines, this installs fine, but volume knob will not work. I have two development servers, Win Server 2003 and Win Server 2008, the two do not run successfully the pilot slots.

  If I deploy a standard Win Vista Enterrprise 32 bit OS of DVD hardware, with any driver when it is installed, the volume wheel works. I can then manually install the audio driver and the volume button still works. But if I deploy the same exact DVD based OS of Deployment Workbench, the volume knob does not work?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is doing my head and holding up the deployment of the new image.

  Thank you
  Paul

  Maybe you are trying to install the driver Audio of M9 M10 or vice versa?

  You install the driver Chipset Intel and value-added package first? (this is important)

• Re: Tecra S10 and S11 freeze randomly

  We have several Tecra S10 and S11. Freezing randomly during the day. Some even twice within half an hour, others spread it throughout the day.

  The Tecra is all Windows 7. Some have 64 bit, others a 32-bit installation. After installation of Windows 7, we have removed additional software we don't need, like McAfee, Toshiba goodies (Assist, Tempro, etc.), Ebay, etc. After that we activatie Office 2007 and Microsoft put updated laptops. So far so good.

  However, after a week or two just work in Word causes the Tecra to freeze. Same ctrl + alt + delete does not work. The Tecra should be forced to turn off the power, press and hold the power button.

  Everyone recognizes these "frozen moments". It's very annoying.

  It is not easy to say why this is happening.
  Always it is that Office is preinstalled on almost all laptops Toshiba so I did not thing your laptops can be somewhat different.

  Maybe something else responsible for this?
  Maybe are all connected to your business LAN and there is a problem.
  Are connected external devices which can be responsible for this?
  Maybe some internal software of the company is blocking something.

  It is not easy to say what he can be.

  Have you done tests in the past to see what can be the problem?

• Problem starting with the Tecra A8 and A9 models

  We have about 20 or more, A8 and A9 Tecra notebooks and each has shown signs of the same problem again. If rebotting and netwrok cable is attached, so they will not start. Remove the cable and it is a normal startup.
  The A8 has a motherboard replacement (problem existed before the replacement) and is still there now after the replacement. The MB is replaced mainly because the sound card was dead. All machines are running XP Pro OS. The A9 is a novelty. Would be - this driver issue or - this one of my favorite - an update from MS that has caused problems.

  > If reboot and the cable network is connected, then they will not start. Remove the cable and it is a normal startup.

  Hmm that's strange.
  However, I recommend that you check the BIOS settings, please ensure that LAN is not set as first boot device.
  Also check if the BIOS has been updated to the State

  Sorry, but this is really rare and you should try universal workaround solutions that could help resolve this problem.

• Tecra a5 and beeps...

  Hello

  I have several Tecra A5 and one of them started to beep when turned on. It emits 3 beeps, and then a break, then 4 times, then pause and finally another 3 times. I know these mean something, but have sought a solution and high and low.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  See you soon

  Hello

  I'm curious to know how the machine works, so that in this case and thereafter? Normal?
  Normally, this would indicate a serious problem with the hardware and also stop the machine to work at all.

  Check that you have installed RAM additional - If Yes, please remove it and reuse the machne.
  In the end, you might have to get in touch with an ASP.

• Tecra 8200 and Win Xp

  Hello

  I just installed WinXp on my Tecra, because I was not able to use an external USB HARD drive. So far so good
  but now, I have some problems with my wireless card und the notebokk tells me every time you start, I need "Toshiba common Module" for my select bay.
  Someone at - he of the experience with a Tecra 8220 and WinXP.
  Thanks for your help.

  Blunma

  Sorry for my writing is not very well English, my normally preferred language is German. So long.

  Some information more than my Tecra 8200:
  -PIII 850
  -384 MB of Ram
  -Windows XP SP1 (I don't have confidence in SP2 so far.)
  -Installation of WinXP was an update on Windows 2000 SP4

  Hi Mario

  I guess you need the common Modules. It is a special Toshiba driver you have to install first.
  This driver, you can find on the delivered tools & utility CD or on the official website of Toshiba. Note: There are different drivers for Xp or Win2000.

  Good bye

• HP and HP Support Assistant update

  Is it necessary to have and use the updated HP and HP Support Assistant?  HP Support Assistant does not have everything HP Update done more more? It seems that HP Support Assistant was created to replace HP Update.

  Hello:

  I agree with you.

  The support assistant is a program that includes the search for updates and other features such as air upward, etc..

  I see no need for both (in fact, I see no need of either).

  I mean this... I would like to change the default value of the assistant to support the definition and automatically download and install updates. I read where this thing was running updates the BIOS in the background while people were working on their PC with antivirus running programs, etc., than to have bad things happen.

  If you like the support Wizard, my recommendation is to change the setting to warn and let me choose which updates to install - or what is the closest option to the default.
