Xcdt satellite 2540 - USB port to use a USB key?

Hello... I would like to give my old Tohsiba (Satellite 2540XCDT) my aunt to use either a connection dial-up / ADSL / ADSL2.

It has a USB port - this port can be enabled to take a USB? Download a driver for it? Where can I find a driver for this system?

(Recently I hooked a new Lexmark printer into the USB port and managed to get the printer doesn't work after loading software CD - a little slower than the old connection with the HP Inkject printer, but works nevertheless.) .... Made me think that maybe I could get a memory stick for this?

Also... Any chance I can still switch from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 online? And it would help at all with performance improvement? Or cause complications more?

And... ADSL or ADSL2 will be better than just using a slow dial-up? (or is this old system quite simply too slow anyway?)

... It used to work fine on just dial-up, although the memory buffer (or course) on video content - and I always think that one probably even with ADSL/2?) ... But things have changed there! (my new Toshiba Satellite XP a is zero, so I don't know how this old system would work these days?) Any comments?

Hello

Looks like you are using Win 98 OS is usually very old new Microsoft operating systems; Windows Me, 2000, XP and Vista include the Generic USB drivers and it is not necessary to install any USB drivers but more old OS like Win 95 or 98 needs USB drivers Win

See this page:
http://www.technical-assistance.co.UK/KB/usbmsd98.php

You would be able to download the USB drivers to use the USB flash memory.

> Any chance I can still switch from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 online
No, I don't think this is possible if you want to use W2K then you need to purchase this OS, but since it is an old OS I doubt you could buy this OS.

  • Satellite Pro M70 freezes everytime when the USB port is used

    Satellite Pro M70 (SPM76) crashes every time when the USB port is used.
    The mouse works, but external HD/Extarnal card sound/Memory stick causing the laptop to freeze. All the drivers are installed right, they are the most recent and have no trouble with other users.

    The devices are all compatible. Service pack 2 is installed, and all the hardware drivers on the toshiba have been updated... again, same problem.
    The toshiba is about 2 months old and have had this problem since I got it. First I thought it was the drvers, but I cleared of all (?) other options but the USB ports.

    Hello

    Believe me, that's not easy to say what the problem may be. It is important to see if the problem occurs because of hardware or software may be. I recommend you to backup all your data and reinstall the unit using rescue media. On this way the unit will be factory settings and will be clean preinstalled. Test your USB devices and see what happens.

    Try to use some standard like USB stick or external HARD disk parts, because in this case, you must not install any drivers please. If you use other devices like USB webcam with own software and drivers, it is possible that something goes wrong, but what. On this path, it is not possible to say.

  • No matter which usb port I use for a usb hub

    I have a compac presario CQ60-215DX notebook and I want to install a usb hub. No matter which usb port I use? would also like to know if it is necessary to remove it to restart my computer"

    Thanks for any help.

    Karen

    The only time you usually get trouble with USB ports is when you mix both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices.

    • For all USB 3.0 is backward compatible, it is simply not the case that all the older devices are USB 3.0 compatible.  If you have a problem with an older device, consider that it may be because it is plugged into a USB 3.0 hub / port.
    • Not all hubs are created equal.  If you try to run some devices high speed (things you plug a hub) on a lower speed (2.0) turntable, they may lose the integrity of the data (Act funny) or refuse to perform certain tasks (depending on the device).  These devices may work best when it is plugged directly into the computer no matter that they are running as the USB 3.0 or USB 2.0.  It is not, therefore, necessarily what port the hub is connected - rather, it could be the hub itself (if you have problems).

    Peripheral USB could better with a reboot - some may not reset at all without rebooting.  A USB hub, one of the simplest types - these are usually plug-and-play.  That's all that is connected to the hub, which could be the determining factor for the restart.  It's Windows - it is always better to restart when things change.

    Hi Androman,

    First of all I suggest you to check if the Oregon Scientific WMR968 is compatible with windows 7 or not.

    Check out the link given below to the windows Compatibility Center 7.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    If it is not compatible with Windows 7, then install the drivers in XP sp2 compatibility mode and also to contact the manufacturer for drivers that are updated that are compatible with windows 7.

    Select the option for windows XP sp2 and install the drivers.

  • Re: My Satellite L350 does not recognize USB key

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L350-235. It suddenly stopped recognizing my usb key that I use every day. Normally, he would say "new hardware found" and allow me to click on the F drive, now I get nothing!

    Can someone advise me?

    I guess that the USB ports are working properly if you connect another device; something like USB mouse. Right?

    In my opinion, you should test the USB in USB ports.
    You can also try to remove the USB controllers and hubs from the Device Manager list.
    After restarting of new laptop, (ports) USB controllers must be recognized, and then you could connect and test the USB again.

    In the event that the USB is not recognized by one of the available USB ports, try to connect to another USB key.

  • Cannot sync. -Com port in use error

    Win7 64 bit, PalmDesk 6.6.6, IR USB dongle. Tungsten E

    Has been able to synchronize the first two times with the new IR USB organization. I ended with triple calendar entries so finally was able to remove old items out of PalmDesk and after doing a hard reset on PDA, could clean the scheduling issues so I thought everything was OK.

    Then tried another HotSync and kept getting an error on the PDA "Cannot start the HotSync operation because the port is currently in use by another application"

    Spent 2-3 hours to get here and other sites for possible solutions. Found none so tried to Soft Reset and then reset hot but neither worked. Finally I did a Hard Reset.

    Was able to do a HotSync.  It took 6:30, but it does not seem complete.  Note that my memory is only half full

    Now, the real problem.  I wanted to see if I could do a HotSync and did not take hours to complete.  But still, I get the port in use message.

    The message comes even if the PDA is not connected to the PC by IR isn't something in the PDA.  He was going to install dbFix, but since I can't synchronize I can't install it.

    I note that after the Hard Reset did only 3 options under connections now, I have 6. There is an IR to a PC/handheld, but the details show that it uses really Cradel/cable. There is an infrared for GSM phone but I can not remove or change it. Also of IR to PC with a speed of 28.8 by default.

    Solutions, ideas or even wild guess appreciated.

    WyreNut

    Thanks for the reply, but you are not the first to suggest not correctly the problem was in the PC.

    I have finally resolved and am posting the investigation and the resolution here in the hope that others can solve the problems of strange synchronization they could find out by doing a similar detailed investigation.

    The error message not being able to sync because the com port has been used pop up would immediately after recording HotSync. I without having to be connected or even close to a PC to get this error message. I have confirmed that being in front of PC with IR, equipped of Vista 32 bit, so it wasn't a problem with Win 7 64 bit either as I had been able to synchronize PC Win 7 approximately 4 weeks earlier.

    I had 4 chat sessions with Palm TREES, where they provided a number of suggestions essentially to tell me that the problem was Win 7 based or 64 - bit based or that I did a Hard Reset if fixed (none of which were correct).

    I tried a number of sweet, hot and hard resets. The only time wherever I could sync was after doing a Hard Reset and synchronization takes then 3.5 HOURS to complete. I could never do a second Hot Sync that I always get the error message.

    I finally discovered that the list of connections is changing and the individual setting for one of the original connections was changed when I did the sync.

    After a Hard Reset, there are three connection options:

    PC Via cable/home station, Modem Via station home/cable and IR for PC/handheld Via infrared

    When I ran the Hot Sync more than two connections have been added to the list

    IR for GSM and GSM BUT phone serial

    The surprise that took a few moments to discover that the PC/handheld Via IR computer had its details changed to home/IR obviously cable station, I could use this connection to synchronize this is to create a custom connection which was the PC Via IR.

    The dropdown under HotSync would present the old PC/Pocket PC Via IR, but it does not work because he didn't was more IR I would choose the custom, but he made the mistake of com Port conflict

    The SOLUTION was to delete all backup and archiving files, install the PC off, do a Hard Reset of the PDA and then do a HotSync.

    This time sync took only 5 minutes, the connection list has not been changed and the settings in detail for PC/handheld Via IR were not changed.

    I don't know when the commands of GSM phone has been added to the list of options on the PDA, I never used the PDA as a phone. I'm not even sure who's App adding the GSM phone files. He could have been there for years I never had problems with synchronization with USB port and a XP machine. Even the first synchronization IR on Win7 64 bit machine worked so I thought everything was OK.

    Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

  • Satellite S50T-B - port HDMI questions

    Hi all...

    I hope you can help. I bought my new Satellite October last year and the first day I've known connection of an additional monitor problems. Initially I had an old monitor with a VGA connection, and of course this computer has only HDMI.

    So I bought an adapter, which did not work. I tried to connect my computer to the tv with the HDMI cable screen to test it, but it still doesn't work. It is still under warranty, so I sent it to the service of Toshiba, which couldn't find anything wrong with it and returned it to me.

    So I bought a new monitor (a BenQ) and a new HDMI cable. Indeed for some reason any he has worked for a couple of months.and isn't now. The computer does not detect the monitor and the monitor says there is no cable connected when I attach it to the computer.

    I tried everything and it drives me crazy.

    Hello

    The VGA-HDMI adapter will not work because HDMI provides digital signals and VGA (RGB) port supports analog signal. You cannot mix the two!

    In any case, go back to your HDMI problem.
    Please try this workaround:
    First of all go to BIOS (F2) and put back the default BIOS settings (F9) and save the changes (F10).
    Now connect the laptop and the TV with an HDMI cable. The two units must be OFF when connecting.
    Then turn on the monitor and then the laptop.

    AFAIK, you must use the function key: FN + F4 to switch to a display external or internal.

    Please check this!

  • Satellite 2540 CDS, boot problem

I have the power led, HD light, seeing the battery. The light on the drive is also on. I tried the reset button but nothing changes. The HD is fine and the power is very good. Is there a combination of magic button to turn it on? Help, please

    Hello

    As much as I know there is no magic button, but sometimes, it will be very useful to have a. Am I wrong?

    In my opinion, you should try to enter the BIOS settings. Check if the HARD drive is recognized correctly. Alternatively, you can try to start the device using the departure of dick. Check if you can change to C:\ A:\ and verify if the contents of the HARD disk will be displayed correctly.
