Satellite A30, Win XP Pro SP3 - modem won't work

Another issue with this A30 Satellite notebook
The built in modem doesn't work.
*Explanation:*
The driver is correct and downloaded from the Toshiba support site.
The modem is identified as 'Toshiba software modem amr' and is setted on com3 port.
When I click on 'diagnostic' and 'ask modem' (the right labels may be different, since my is an Italian win xp, I just translated the Italian labels), a window appears saying it's impossible to open the door (port) which the modem is connected to.
I have tried to change the modem com port to different numbers but the problem is the same.
I don't know whether the modem is an actual board connected in some way to the main board or is just built on the main board. If it would be the first case, I could change it ad see. btw, the mini pci slot is already occupied by the gigabyte Wi-Fi board, so the modem must be somewhere else.
It is strange, since I did at least 2 other win xp pro installations on this machine, always downloading and installing the proper drivers, and the modem never has worked.
Thanks
S.

Hi
This old Satellite A30 was offered with Windows XP Home Edition/Professional SP1 so maybe you should install WXP SP1 and then all other stuff following original installation order.

  • ITunes 10.1.2 upgrade on  Win XP Pro SP3 Kills Internet access

    The latest iTunes 10.1.2 install on my Win XP Pro SP3 system kills my Internet access. Internet status shows that I'm connected but Internet Explorer and Firefox can't connect to the server. Running Win XP Pro SP3 with all MS updates applied on a Dual-Core Intel 6600 chip, 4 gig of memory and a couple of terabytes of hard drive. When I do a restore from my backup hard drive to the prior OS and iTunes version, everything is back to normal. I didn't receive any error notifications both times from the install. I first did the install from the Apple website directly (and lost Internet access), then restored my backup system and downloaded the update separately and then installed and lost Internet access again. Am now back up using iTunes 10.1.1.4. Is this update from Egypt? (supposed to be funny).
    Thanks-
    Richard

    Thanks for the link. I noticed that "Swut" from Orange County, Ca (see the post below) had a reply in the link you gave me referring to "Vipre" , which is an Anti-Virus program that I also use, like "Swut".
    I will investigate this further. In defense of Apple, there is no way that they can test against every bit of software that we run on these PCs. I would hope that if we find out that there is some problem with the Vipre interface, both Apple and the Vipre people will be made aware of the problem.
    Before I try the iTunes 10.2.1 upgrade again, I'll contact Sunbelt Software- the people who make Vipre and see if they have heard of this problem. I'll let all of you know what the results are.
    Thanks- Richard Van Nostrand

    I didn't have to go all the way through with TRG10987s solution. When I got to step 4 I noticed that VIPRE had installed multiple virtual network adapters on to of the network adapters. I uninstalled VIPRE thereby deleting the virtual adapters ran the upgrade, and reinstalled VIPRE. Everything works fine now.
    Thanks to TG10987, who put me on the path."

    This is a feature as far as I know.

    Reinstallint using setup seem to work, but ole is not working: e.g. from word , I do insert object, click ole , select adobe acrobat object, then app freezes.
    2 processes are created dor adobe reader and I have to do "end-task".
    Inserting another ole object (e.g. excel) works!
    I tried uninstall from control panel.
    I also downloaded and ran acrobat_ittools_cleaner_p1_061713 and acrobat_ittools_cleaner_p2_061713 (downloaded from your web site), then reboot and reinstall. No change!
    Any hint?

    Hi albourg,
    Try disabling the protected mode in Reader and check the performance.

  • Sync taking hours - iphone 3GS Win XP Pro SP3

    Hey,
    Had a search but couldn't find anything of any use.
    PC is newly formatted Win XP pro SP3
    Phone is iphone 3GS 32gb 3.1.3 about 6 months old
    Total memory on phone used is about 12gb
    I have done this two times, one as a fresh update syncing the phone and one with a copied library from before the format.
    This might just be a "PC" thing that I will have to live with but since going to 3.1.3 and the latest version of itunes syncing my iphone its taking well so far over an hour and a half to sync the phone!!
    Originally when I bought the phone with 3.1.2 with itunes 9.? (December) it was syncing in about 10mins.
    The previous version of itunes in mid\late march had huge memory leaks which explained why it wouldnt sync or update but this new version seems to sync but it takes forever!
    The sync times do not affect my ipods, I have two classic ipods (80 & 160gb) which it takes no time to sync and works fine.
    Any suggestions? Apart from buying a mac!!

    The most common issue with long backup is users that keep way too many photos in the TEMPORARY camera roll.
    Do you copy off photos from your camera roll on a routine basis and then sync back to their own libraries any photos you wish to keep on the phone.
    The camera roll is a special place not meant to really keep on storing images for long term. It is treated differently than the rest of the file system.

  • HT4245 my iMessage on my macbook pro mountain lion won't work.

    this is a very frustrating problem
    my iMessage on my macbook pro mountain lion won't work.
    it keeps on saying that ive entered the wrong passcode.
    i even have my firewall turned off
    plz help

    Ok...
    So I bought my MacBook Pro second hand, and it came with no installation discs, but I got Mountain Lion and had it installed and decided to back it up to a disc in case of this scenario. I followed some instructions to make a bootable disc and used it to install a fresh copy of Mountain Lion back when I first got it.
    My problem is that without the boot partition of my MacBook's hard drive it doesn't seem to want to boot the disc.
    Since I didn't want to buy a disc and I don't have another MacBook or know anyone near me that does, I decided to download a hackintosh iso and use it along with my other laptop to install iPC 10.5.6....this installed successfully and my hopes were that my MacBook would be able to boot it, so I reinstalled my MacBook's hard drive and to my surprise it booted, although not normally. Since it is hackintosh it has some rewritten boot features so it's not a true OSX, but it is fully functional. Since I finally had OSX booted I figured I was in the clear and would be able to install Mountain Lion from this, but then I found out that you have to have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or later in order to install Mountain Lion.
    Now I'm stuck with a hactintosh version of Lion and still no way to get back to Mountain Lion, is there anything I can do now that I have a functional OSX installation?

  • Satellite C660-1TN. Win XP Pro SP3. Driver of video card GF 315M

    Laptop Satellite C660-1TN. Under the corporate standard it is necessary to work in Windows XP Pro SP3. The driver of video card NVIDIA GeForce 315M isn't established. Thanks

    Your corporate standards are pretty old. It should be time for corporate update to new standards. ;)
    Anyway, newest notebook models are not supported for old operating systems and newest notebook models are designed for newest operating system. Newest notebook models have newest hardware also designed for newest OS.
    Problem is not Toshiba or WXP support. As far as I know even Microsoft doesnt support WXP anymore.
    Check if NVIDIA supports WXP for GeForce 315M.

  • No audio in firefox, works fine in IE & Chrome. Have Dell E6500 running Win 7 Pro 64 bit. every thing works with native windows driver but with not IDT driver

    I have no Audio in Firefox. I think this is an old problem with Dell IDT driver and Firefox. Flash is installed, I have uninstalled and re-installed two or three times, removed pluggins and put them back to no avail. The native win 7 driver from 2010 works okay in all browsers including firefox but I would like an up-to-date driver that works. The latest IDT driver for my Dell e6500 running Win 7 pro works great in IE and Chrome but not Firefox.

    I don't think there was any setting I could change on the driver. Firefox did not show up in the mixer or volume control. It is there with the native win 7 driver. This driver doesn't seem to see Firefox. I just got this computer, but looking for help, posts three years ago on the web seemed to have this problem with the Dell e6500 and Firefox.

  • Macbook Pro sound sometimes won't work. Took into Apple to be fixed. Still not working.

    I purchased a Macbook Pro in July 2014 so my computer is still new.  There is no damage to it (it has never been dropped and kept in case).  My issue started about a month to month and half ago.  When watching netflix the show will stop and when I try to hit play it comes up as an audio system error. 
    The sound won't work and then a few minutes later it'll turn on, as if it was lagging.  For example I would send an email and try to hit the volume button to get the sound to work and then a little later I will hear the whooshing sound from the email and the sound adjusting sounds from the keys all at once. I followed the steps from netflix to fix it which were to uninstall and reinstall silverlight.  That still didn't work.  After a while I took it into Apple and they replaced the switch board.  I got my computer back yesterday and today it is still not working.  I have done everything I can think of to fix it.  What else can I do?

    Return it to the repair shop.  Tell them they didn't fix it.  Take full advantage of your warranty.

  • Flash Pro CC Debug won't work correctly

    Hello. I am using trial version of Flash Pro CC and I think it's a glitch.
    If there are multiple layers that have own frame script and run Debut(ctrl + alt + enter ), debug won't work correctly.
    for example there are 2 layers on main stage Layer A and Layer B..
    Layer A has  this one trace script,
    trace("1");
    Layer B has those 2 trace scripts.
    trace("2");
    trace("3);
    And I put breakpoint  on trace("1"); of Layer A, and run Debug and use "Step In"  to run all scripts manually.
    And if trace("1");  is finished, you are supposed to  get to trace("2"); but instead you will get to trace("3"); in this case.
    I mean little yellow arrow, which tells me what script is running right now, is marked on trace("3");.. not on trace("2");
    It seems Flash pro CC thinks Layer A's trace("1");  == Layer B's trace("2"). He can't recognize Layer A and Layer B are different.
    I think it's a glitch. Does anybody notice this glitch?

    Does anybody notice this glitch?  I want to check if it's really a glitch or not before using newest version of Flash CC.
    If it's a glitch, I will stick with CS6.

  • X58 Pro and esata - Won't work...

    I am just beyond frustrated with esata now! Wouldn't work on my last board (Asus P5K-Deluxe) and now it won't work with my latest build on the X58 Pro.
    I tried to connect my Thermaltake BlacX external storage device via esata today and nothing happened when it was connected. I tried two different cables, one brand new one and one that has the corners 'shaved'.
    I got ticked off tonight and bought a Lacie D2 Quadra 1TB external drive with esata. No go for this as well. Both the Thermaltake and Lacie work via USB2 no problem but USB2 just isn't fast enough.
    I have made sure the Extra RAID/IDE Controller was Enabled in the BIOS (which it was)...
    Aanyone have any suggestions? 

    Sometimes it is that easy. That's why I asked about the OS you had. Some component recognition issues tend to arise from time to time with different versions. Drivers are another fun element in the mix as well. If it stops showing again, looks like a 'reboot' will fix it. As an afterthought, it may have something to do with the 'connect' sequence. Now & then if I forget (can relate to age), & leave a portable device connected after shutdown, at bootup, the boot sequence is all messed up. Anyway, glad it is working now.

  • Yoga 2 1051L Win 8.1 - 3G modem doesn't work on Vodafone

    I've bought a Yoga Tablet 2 1051L Windows 8.1 and I found out that the 3G modem doesn't work with the Vodafone Sim card, I've tried with Telekom Sim Card and it works, so the probably it's a compatibility issue since I've changed the Sim card from Vodafone with a new one and no luck, I've tried it in another very cheap tablet and it works just fine.I've also instaled the newest drivers, only the bios driver I didn't had the courage to install it.
    I've read on the reviews from amazon.de and it seems that i'm not the only one. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

    This is a known problem and no solution yet, you can reflash the modem and gain a basic functionality with a vodafone ro sim, but only on hsdpa speed wich is crap for a 4G sim, i keept searching for a solution for a month now and no succes, i'm from ROU too, and support for us from lenovo is non existent as it seems.

    Hello Jim,
    be patient! See if system is working for you. Don´t run System Updater, without carefully reading installation
    instructions. Some Bios updates, should be deployed with burned iso. on cd. Not via System Update.
    Windows SP3 is safe and you should use Firefox with Noscript and Adblock plug-ins, when you want to surf safe.
    Not IE6! 
    SP3 will be necessary and essential, when you want to get your system updated with security updates in long term.
    Overlocking is not good at notebooks, cause of heat dissipation and there is no option in bios to allow that.
    I hope I could help little.
    Regards
    Andreas
