  Hello

  Please reinstall the display driver and give me some feedback if it worked. You could by the way check what hardware ID is the device? The hardware ID can be seen on the tab 'Detail' of the device which is not properly installed...

• Update BIOS on Toshiba Satellite A300-1MW

  Hello.

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300-1MW with version 3.5 of the BIOS. Can I upgrade to version 1.7 which I downloaded from the Toshiba site?
  Whay I want to do?
  Because I have a lot of problems with this laptop. For example:

  (1) slow loading on the compatibility mode system
  (2) when I put the AHCI mode and reinstall the drivers SATA then loading is faster, but I have problems with the critical error

  I don't know what to do :/ Maybe I have bad drivers (it is not possible because all the drivers are of the Toshiba site) or maybe I didn't install drivers (there are many drivers on the Toshiba site, I don't not download and install all the)

  Can someone write a list of the drivers I need to install?

  Thanks in advane and have a nice day.

  Yours,
  Tralla

  Hello Tralla

  As I see you have already posted a thread with the same question and I wonder that you ask the same question again.

  You have these problems, because you didn t install WXP correctly. If you want to have many preinstalled WXP and use with full speed use the AHCI settings in the BIOS and load Windows XP Home edition with all SATA drivers.
  After having this laptop will run fast and you won't have problems BIOS update should not be done at all.
  This theme is very often discussed on this forum and please take some time and check this forum on the installation of Windows XP Home edition using the SATA driver.

  Good bye

• Update BIOS on Satellite A300 disabled the touchpad in WinXP

  Hey

  I just installed XP on my A300, the installation went well, until I updated the BIOS to to 1.7. After that, the touchpad is irrespeonsive, which means that it is displayed in the Device Manager, but does not.

  I tried the Fn + F9 key and after a long driver Hunt, I decided to re - install Windows XP, to locate where the problem was.

  I also tried resetting the BIOS by default, but once again, without a bit of luck.

  The touchpad still does not work.

  Is there a possibility to downgrade the BIOS?

  Hello Johan

  Can you please tell me what Satellite A300 you exactly (A300-xxx)?
  What model is your laptop?
  Almost all cell phones of the A300 are WXP supported and I can not imagine that the update of the BIOS can kill touchpad. It's very strange.

• Satellite A300 - issue Downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hi all...
  IM intending to get rid of my windows Vista SP2 (32 bit) and XP SP3 (32 bit). My laptop is: [Satellite A300 - 1 G 5 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 1055589].

  Now, I studied the topic before posting. When the first time I tried to install XP laptop does not recognize the CD of the OS and I failed. Later, I found a topic suggesting through the BIOS and change the HHD of ACHI to compatibility mode, so I did and it works but I have not installed yet. I have a few question reclassification process.

  1. once I have install the XP, can I put the AHCI mode? gives me a better performance (I really don't know what is ACHI!)
  2. this void my warranty?
  3. If I had a problem, the XP installation failed for some reason any and no OS on my laptop, will still be able to use the recovery DVDs to restore my laptop?
  4. now, the issue of the pilots. Here: [list of drivers Vista | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU] and here: [list of Drivers XP | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU], the question as follows:

  (A) some drivers exist in the list of drivers Vista but does NOT exist in XP driver list; as: DVD player, facial recognition, supervisor password, driver of the SRT, tiles for the mobility and WPS Library Center. What should I do?

  (B) is there a specific order to install drivers? as a driver for a device must exist before a driver to avoid conflicts or overwrite files?

  (C) there are several drivers for the same device, how to choose one? example: the Wireless Lan Driver has several companies (Realtek Semiconductor Corporation, Atheros and Intel); which I will use?

  5. is it true that Vista is better than XP mobility? will (consumption and the heat of power management) XP my laptop do suffer from heat because the laptop is already packed with vista? I mean, they tried what OS fits perfectly on the machine, unless Toshiba push just Vista people because Microsoft needs that... lol

  ----------------------------------------------------------------

  Hope that my questions are clear, I had something else to ask, its a matter of opinion. are there advantages of Vista on XP? I use my laptop for some games and make some 3Ds MAX, which both require a lot of RAM, Vista eats up to 1 GB of my RAM, so that XP barely fill half a GB of RAM, that is my main concern when I decided to go for XP. I'd like to hear your opinions and experience life...

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  In my opinion there is no great reason to change to Windows XP Home edition OS. Optimize Vista can also run well and stable on your laptop. I was very skeptical on Vista but now after a year of use I can work very well with it. Soon we will again have Win7 and it should work much better than Vista.

  My point of view is in a hurry and do not always return to comfortable. Of course, you can do what you want and your decision is quite legitimate. I imagine that you will get better performance under Windows XP Home edition for all activities, that you do every day.

  I must also say that you did the right thing to pick up some info before you start the installation of Windows XP Home edition. On this forum, you can find a lot of interesting and useful discussions.

  Back to your questions:
  1 n ° best performance, you'll have under ACHI.

  # 2 you can install what you want.

  3 Yes, but only the DVD. F8 option no longer works and the image on the second partition will be useless.

  4
  At the drivers, tools and utilities are not the same for Vista new and old WXP. Install available stuff. It is not enough.
  B - generally YES. If you need help with this let know us.
  C you know what WLAN card is in your laptop. Check Device Manager under Vista.

  5 I didn't noticed any difference. Toshiba installs Windows XP Home edition for years and has good experience with this. You can use great Toshiba power saver tool in Windows XP Home edition and optimise energy consumption, cooling method and performance. In Vista, you can do the same.

• Slow reaction of the media on Win XP buttons - Satellite A300-1MX

  Hello world

  I bought a Satellite A300-1MX about 1 month ago. I had XP installed on it. I installed all the drivers, etc.

  The multimedia keys, however, are a little slow in their reaction, meaning: I press one of them (e.g. READING), then it turns on and outside as normally (at full speed), but then he only PLAYS the song after maybe 3-4 seconds.

  The problem is that I've lived twice more that these media buttons reacted very quickly (so normal speed), and only two times this happened was when, once I played a PC GAME, and once I was using another program.

  So it was almost like they wud answer quickly only if traore to be little RAM used, or some processor used. Do not know well, that's my theory.

  Maybe somebody has a solution for how to get the media buttons respond quickly (normally) and not only after 3-4 seconds.

  PS: I use the windows media player for media buttons.

  Thank you very much!!
  Sasch

  Hello

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here. In my view, it is also important that opinion may be different on the speed, how he should respond. I put t know what you mean with slow or fast, but if the player has already opened the music should start playing immediately.
  When you press play and wait for the application to open can only takes a few seconds to start, and it is nothing unusual.

  Another important point is preinstalled WXP. Have you noticed that normal speed with Vista preinstalled?

• Satellite A300 - Win Vista instalation disk missing

  Hello world.

  This is my first time on any forum ever :)

  In August 2008, I bought laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 149. There was a lot of turbulence in our relationship, but we always went by them so far.

  Some time ago I added an additional hard drive just for the system. I did it just to have all important data in the entity. This extra drive decided to die.

  The problem is that there is no more the oryginal disc recovery so I have a laptop, hard drive and the product key for windows, but no instalation windows disk or at least file.

  Can you please help me and tell what should I do now because I can't undo what I've done already :)

  Hello

  Your A300 was delivered with the operating system from Vista preinstalled (recovery image). This recovery image is saved on the HARD disk. Operating manuals s described document that each owner of the laptop must create the installation of recovery disk using pre-installed recovery media creator tool.

  If I understand you right you didn't he create if it is your only error.
  What can you do now?
  You have two options:
  1 / you can order the original recovery disc - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
  2 / you can install own OS version

  I have too many A300 and for three years I use it with Windows 7 32 bit. It works perfectly and much better than original Vista.

  In any case, you do need to make the decision. If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

  Good bye

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite A300 - 16L. And it must recover Vista.

  I tried the solution key 0. But this does not work either.

  I do however can start with a knoppix cd and see the entire disk. And I could save almost all the data.

  Can someone help here?

  eyes of Jan

  You have created DVDs of recovery following advice in the document s user manuals?
  If Yes use this support to reinstall the original Vista recovery image.
  Is preinstalled original Toshiba Vista or your own installation?

  By the way: I have the same machine and I use Win7 32 bit. It works perfectly on the A300.

  Hello

  You can install another system of Windows Vista or XP for example or you have the same problems the other systems?

  However, to check if the default BIOS allows you to install Windows 7
  In addition, try to set the SATA mode in compatible mode or AHCI.
