  Hello!

  It should be possible to install Vista 64-bit on the laptop but I could be that you will get not all drivers.
  For now, doesn t support and 64-bit drivers Toshiba offers but you can search on other sites:

  Here are some examples:
  -Intel chipset: [www.intel.com]
  -Realtek sound chip: [www.realtek.com]
  -WLAN driver: http://195.182.196.33/wlan/
  -Bluetooth: http://195.182.196.33/bluetooth/

  Good luck!

• 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:

• 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.

• 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?

  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 - 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 hard drive storage on Satellite Pro L40

  I have a Satellite Pro L40. Memory hard drive seems to be divided into two (about 35 GB each) under Vista C and e of data.
  Vista C is almost full. How can I use/access the E-data memory?

  Hi Bart

  Please don't get me wrong, but your question is really strange. I mean after reading your post, I'm really interested in your PC knowledge and how long you use your laptop.

  You want to know is basic stuff and must be learned first when you start using computers.
  When you have the time to try to get some book on WXP or Vista and all know about operating systems and how to use them.

  Open Windows Explorer, and you will have direct access to the second partition. You can move files from C to D, or save all data directly on the D partition.

  Google a bit. You can find many Web pages on basic stuff to the use of operating system.

• Satellite Pro L40 - after I start the update of the BIOS, nothing happens

  I'm trying to update my BIOS version 2.00 - WIN for Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE.
  My OS is Vista 64 bit.

  I downloaded the file and run the .exe but nothing happens.

  I also tried to copy the files on a diskette and start with a floppy disk, however, I get an error message saying to remove the diskette in the drive on startup. Any help please?

  First update the BIOS for Satellite Pro L40 is based on Windows it of possible to update in DOS mode.

  Also, I checked the Web from Toshiba site and I can only find a BIOS for Windows XP and Windows Vista 32-bit.
  It seems that the update of the BIOS is not supported for Vista 64-bit.

  If you want to update, you need to change to 32 bit Vista or XP. Then you can update the BIOS.
  Don t forget this version 2.00 - WIN is for Vista 32 bit and 5.50 - WIN XP.

• 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 and it crashes and freezes

  Hi guys

  I have a Satellite Pro L40 and it crashed on me a few weeks ago.
  It will turn upward, but everything freezes.

  They gave me a copy of Vista to friend, but this only loads until it said 74.5 MB necessary and only 74.4 on the partition so I guess it does not load the full program of vista.

  I don't have the original backup drive so cannot use it.
  Is my only need to get a new hard drive and if what kind do you recommend.

  Sorry if I have'nt it explains very well

  Derek

  In my opinion, it is always good to have original Toshiba DVD facilities. If you want to order a visit https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx, and how much you should pay for it.

  As Akuma wrote before starting installation Vista delete existing partitions, create new and install Vista on it. I don't think that you need a new HARD drive.

• 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 - 17F: everything by playing the DVD player window flickers

  I have a new Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 - 17F with all the updates of Windows Vista (Home) applied. This includes those optional (for example driver updates)

  I came to be used for the first time (outside the application of windows update) and play a movie. The player (not the controls, just the player) window flashing continuously, even on the menu screens. It almost seems that the film was shot with an old film camera and is played on a projector.

  I have not really looked at it properly yet, but I wonder if this is a common problem...

  Someone at - he had the same thing? What about a solution?

  See you soon

  Not easy to say that this could be what software do you use?
  Have you tried different players? If this is not the case, check this box!

  Have you noticed this problem only play DVDs using the DVD player?
