Win XP on Satellite P300 - 18 M: WLan failed to connect properly

So, myself installed XP now running quite a lot better than Vista (P300 18 M) with a major nuisance...

I installed the Intel 5100 Wifi drivers and they work effectively, but with a hiccup.
From the laptop, it can take up to 10 minutes after that before the WiFi actually detects and connects to my wifi box.

If I manually search prior to that, he said simply no networks detected, whereas in fact (using another notebaook as the iPhone, around 7 networks are visible at all times...

So he ended up finding the right network and newspapers, but it takes forever.
Any ideas what may be the problem here?

I hear you, displays, I wonder why you do not write that you have installed Windows XP Home edition. As far as I know, many people here have reported on the various problems with WXP SP3.
Using Windows XP SP3 home edition too?

By the way: this is the forum user. No response from Toshiba :)

    Firstly, it must ensure that your wireless network card and your WLan router would support the Draft N.

    Second, you should check if the project has been selected in the WLan card properties.
    This, to check the Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab WLan card

  • Satellite P300 - 19 p - WLan does not work

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Satellite P300 - 19 p and at home I had a connection to the LAN cable to go online but 2 days after purchase I flew to Africa for a year and now when I try to connect to the Internet wirelessly, I discover that the bleeding thing doesn't have a working wireless driver.

    I am really disappointed and frustrated, I installed drivers before and the Toshiba driver on drive C file shows a driver by Atheros wireless and I installed it but it will not appear on the Device Manager.
    I copied a driver realtek on a disk and loaded, it appeared on the Device Manager but wouldn't work, came up with the code 10 error?

    When I turn on wifi radar it keeps saying "the wireless network device is disabled. Please activate"- large just give me an idea how to!

    I can't connect my laptop to the internet and it smells just a waste of money and be out here is not anywhere I can take it to!

    Can someone offer help and why not the manual provided with the help of these things!

    Thanks in advance!

    > When I turn on wifi radar it keeps saying "the wireless network device is disabled. Please activate"- large just give me an idea how to!

    I think that this problem of WLan is not related to the missing driver, but on the fact that your WLan is not enabled!

    Then all first move the WLan switch on IT and then use the FN + F8 key combination to select the WiFi network!

    By the way; isn't your Atheros or Realtek but INTEL WLan card wireless network card!
    The driver can be found here:

  • Satellite P300 - quick launch buttons does not work properly

    I installed Windows 7 Pro on my Satellite P300 and everytime I try to use the button mute etc it starts the program set button assignment but no options are available to choose.

    Has anyone encountered this and a fix?

    Hey Jones,.

    Can you please tell us which version of Windows 7, you have exactly? I mean the 32-bit version or 64-bit and you downloaded the package of value added specially for Windows 7? From Toshiba Web site shows also different patterns of P300, what model number you have?

    Have you ever tried to assign different functions to the button? For example, there is a file mute.exe as far as I know in case Toshiba should be assigned to the button mute. Check it!

    Maybe reinstall the VAP might also be useful.

  • Satellite P300: webcam driver open failed

    Hello

    I'm desperate.
    1 month ago I bought a satellite P300-190 with webcam internal.

    Everything seems to work, except the webcam.

    I get the error when you start the software: "webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.

    I read so many threads about this problem.
    I tried: update of software, of the bios, graphics card, software of the camera.
    follow-up of most of the things specified in the markets, but still the same problem.

    Is there a somewere expert who can help me solve this probem?

    Thanks in advance,
    Best regards, Jeroen.

    * Download driver Chicony Webcam drivers from Toshiba Web site section was updated. If you can't find an updated driver, try a new driver of another model of Toshiba.
    * Install the Service Pack 1 of Vista, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1)
    * Update your e-mail software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc...)
    * If you have another program that can use the webcam (e.g. Skype), make sure that they are completely closed and not, sitting in the system tray.
    * Try to close the bar Assistant camera on the left side of the office.
    * To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".

    If this does not work, the best option would be to backup your data and run recovery. If it still does not work, then the webcam itself may be faulty.

  • Satellite Pro C850-15 q - failed to connect to projector

    Hello world

    I'm unable to connect a Toshiba Satellite Pro C850-15 q Part No.: PSKC9E-01JOOHEN to a projector, laptop computer does not wish to duplicate the screen for the projector.

    The laptop worked without any problem with a spotlight for months, but its only today that it is unable to connect to a projector via a VGA cable.

    So far, I have tried to use the laptop on different different projectors, but will not work on any.
    I have used different VGA cables, uninstalled the driver display and then reinstalled the latest driver, updated chipset and bios but nothing seems to work.

    Physically, the VGA port seems fine, I tried to project using FN + F4 and the windows key + P, the two options do not work. I have also a right-click on the desktop, properties, all the eyes of correct parameters, also sought to graphics options right click again this sounds all very well.

    The laptop is running windows 7 32 bit.

    Suggestions as to what to try next?

    Thank you
    Darren.

    Hello

    What exactly happens when you press Fn + F4 (or only F4)?
    Other function keys work correctly?

    The laptop seems to also support the exit HDMI port.
    Are you able to connect the laptop to an external monitor and the output video using the F4 function key?

  • Satellite P300-133 - problem installing Win Xp

    Hello

    I have a problem installing win xp to Satellite p300-133.
    To resolve this problem, I have tried the solutions:
    switch to ahci mode in bios and incorporating storage drivers compatibility intel to the installation cd xp with nlite, but none of them solved the problem.

    Laptop computer starts from the cd of xp and xp installation says "program Setup inspects your hardware configuration" and then a blank black screen comes.
    After that, the installation does nothing and waits indefinitely.

    Any ideas on this problem? Thank you.

    Hello

    > switch to compatibility ahci mode in the bios and the integration of the storage drivers Intel to xp with nlite installation cd, but none of them solved the problem.

    The two methods are good!
    You can install the Win XP without drivers Intel Storage Manager (SATA drivers) but in this case the SATA mode must be on compatible mode.
    It works for sure!

    The second method is the installation of the SATA drivers with nLite (drivers can be integrated into the new drive Win XP).

    I put t understand why this doesn t work on your laptop. I think it's a problem with your Win XP drive. Contains this Win XP SP2 or SP3?
    If this isn't the case, then you should use nLite to include min the Win XP SP2.

  • Satellite P300 PSPC4A - BIOS no updates required for Win 7?

    I have a Satellite P300 (PSPC4A-03P01P)
    Currently 2 hard drives, both are partitioned.
    Disc 1 - C and D
    Disc 2 - F and G
    Current operating system on the C drive is OEM Vista 32-bit HP
    BIOS version is V4.20. 05/01/09

    I want to upgrade the Win - 7 HP 64-bit operating system
    I know that this will require a format the C partition.

    In preparation, I downloaded all the drivers for Win 7 64 bit

    My Questions:

    The BIOS will require the update to support 64-bit?

    If partitions D, F and G are left intact, Win-7 64-bit on the C drive will be able to read?
    Or these partitions will also require formatting?

    Thanks for any help

    Hello

    There is no relationship between the BIOS and the operating system. Thus, you need not upgrade Bios for Win 64 bit.

    > If partitions D, F and G are left intact, Win-7 64-bit on the C drive will be able to read?
    > Or those partitions will also require formatting?

    You can install the Os on C: and it will be able to read information on other partitions too.

    If you have any ideas, I'll be happy to hear it.

    Hello

    Have you checked if the address Mac filtering settings can affect the WLan functionality?
    If the MAC address filtering enabled your WLan card mac address has been inserted, then your laptop wouldn't connect.

    Also I recommend you check the settings of the WLan card TCP/IP.
    In the TCP/IP properties, you must set options for automatically

    PS: have you checked whether your P300 is the latest BIOS?

  • Satellite P300 - cannot find drivers for Win 7 32 bit

    I have the Toshiba Win7 install discs, but I have 2 questions.

    1: I installed the 32-bit version, but I can't find the 32-bit drivers (reinstalled). The Australian Toshiba site is the only one that recognizes my model (PSPCCA OC201Y), but it offers only drivers for win7 64 bit.

    2: I'd really rather do a clean install of the 64-bit system (the disk too) but it seems no way to do. In an upgrade, it offers the possibility, in a clean installation, it doesn't.

    Hello

    I noticed that aid of t don SP3 in all cases.
    First, the best solution is to install Win XP SP2, and then register the mentioned patches. Then restart the laptop and install the sound card driver.

    If still get you some yellow exclamation points then the brand of the device and remove it from the Device Manager list.
    After restarting again the device to be recognized by Win XP again and you can complete the installation driver sound.

    The sound card is made by Conexant.
    The sound quality on win XP from Vista is bad relay.

    Hello

    I have the Satellite Pro P300 (PSPCDE) with the same sound card. Satellite and Satellite Pro have exactly the same configuration material just my Satellite Pro comes with Vista Business and your probably one with Vista Home Premium.

    With this machine of the company, I also have Windows XP Home edition recovery DVDs. I tested with my laptop and with original sound Toshiba recovery image works well. I noticed that this recovery image has Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3.

    So the question is why your own installation ends with this noise problem.
    You have the option to install Windows XP SP3 home edition on your laptop satellite?
