Satellite C55-A-199 with Win 7 64bit - cannot enable WiFi

Hi,
I have some problem with the wifi in my Toshiba Satellite C55-A-199.
I have downloaded and installed every drivers that I could find on the [website|http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp] but I am still not able to turn off the wifi by pressing fn+f12.
When I press fn+f12 the bluetooth can be switch on/off but the wifi symbol doesn't appear on the screen, and the red led at the front keeps lighting.
I don't know what could be the problem, but I hope I'll get some help here.
Thanks,
Piri
(I use win7x64)

Hi everybody,
_Thanks a lot Randy, doing what you said helped me solved the issue_ with my newly Satellite C55-A-1P2, but unfortunately I have discovered an even bigger issue.
I think this thread is probably not the right place to say my problem but I haven't found to much info regarding the issue. :(
If I'm allowed here this is what I'm encountering with the Wi-Fi adapter:
My Wi-Fi adapter (Qualcomm Atheros AR956x I think this is the one) is frequently disconnecting, stays disconnected for a minute or so and after that is reconnecting. For me that is a very big issue as I'm a heavily Wi-Fi user. I do have the latest driver installed from Toshiba site and using windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.
If anybody has any idea on how to solve this issue or if it's even solvable(if this is the case I need to return the laptop) or redirect me to another post related to Wi-Fi disconnections I will be forever grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Wifi doesn't work on Satellite C-55-A-14G with Win 8 64bit OS

My wifi connection does not work on Satellite C55-A-14G Windows 8 64bit.
How can I fix this?
There is wifi on other computers but not on this laptop.

Hi
You are still using Win 8?
Microsoft has already released the Win 8.1 system.
Its recommended to update the Win 8 to Win 8.1 since different bugs have been solved and new features have been added.
The Win 8.1 update is free and you could download the update files from Microsoft Store.
Please perform the update as recommended by Toshiba and update essential the driver and tools.
I guess after the update the WLan would work properly.

HT1386 my iPhone will no longer sync with iTunes. running a pc with win 8/64bit

why won't my iPhone sync with iTunes? i'm running latest version of iTunes on a PC OS Win 8/64bit?

It's ridiculous how difficult this is. I've reinstalled iTunes, played with the settings, and it just doesn't work.
It will happily sync my computer library (which has nothing in it) with my phone library (589 songs) thereby (presumably) wiping out the 589 songs.
But I can't get it to sync the other way and copy the iPhone library to the computer.
It also puts new CDs on the computer but not on the phone, where I want them.
Is there anyone at Apple that cares about this abject stupidity in the software?

Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS with Win 7 (64bit): Looking for driver software

Hello,
can anybody tell me where to find the driver software for the Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS connected to my Windows PC running Windows 7 (64Bit). With Win XP there was no problem at all, the printer got connected via plug and play, whereas with Win 7 I can't get it to work.
If there is no original WIN7 compatible driver version available, is there any other printer driver that could be used instead.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Best regards
Jochen (Heidelberg/Germany)

Re: NB550D with win 7 64bit

I have recently bought a NB550D with c-50.
There are many threads around the internet and here regarding upgrades. It seems that 2 are the main difficulties or desired things to do with this laptop with equal challenges.
1. upgrade the memory to 4gb
2. Install win 7 64bit.
I have decided to embark for both, so in here i will try to summarise what i have done or have been doing in order to help others who might want to do a similar thing:
1. Memory
In summary it looks like the laptop can use both DDR3-1066 and DDR3-1333 at DDR3-1066 speed. People report that the kingston modules have no issue.
After reading many forums i have decided to buy Kingston memory DDR3-1333 since the kingston 1066 was not available from the shop i visited.
I have installed it and running fine both in the original OS (started) and in Ultimate 64bit (current). The difference is day and night.
2. Win 7 Ultimate 64bit.
After reading around in forums it's clear that people have issues with the drivers and mainly the display drivers. Here is what i have done so far, although I'm still in the process of updating drivers:
1. Downloaded the realtek Lan driver from here:
http://www.realtek.com/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=7&Level=5 &Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
I downloaded only the driver "Win7 and WinServer 2008 R2 Driver" version 7.049
(to be edited later need to rush...:)

Somehow i cannot edit anymore my original post so i continue from here:
2. After i have downloaded and installed the lan driver i went online and let the system do the first microsoft updates:
Amongst the first 4 there were 2 updates:
ATI Technologies Inc. - Display - AMD Radeon HD 6200 series Graphics
TOSHIBA - Other hardware - TOSHIBA x64 ACPI-Compliant Value Added Logical and General Purpose Device
The first one has enabled the screen to native resolution, which seems that many people had issues wtih. The second one i have no idea exactly what it does but for sure some of the fn keys are working like the volume and brightness that i use and the num pad. There are no flashing cards mind you to inform you of the changes with the fn keys.
3. next i have installed the Atheros wireless driver from the Toshiba website. I haven't looked for the latest one but if anyone knows please let us know.
4. I have also installed the latest graphics card and HDMI drivers with the catalyst software from here:
http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/pages/integrated_win7-64.aspx#1
5. From the same site i have downloaded and installed the amd AHCI drivers and an AMD usb filter driver:
http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/pages/integrated_win7-64.aspx#3
6. for the webcam microsoft has already installed some chicony drivers so at the minute i have let those.
Does anyone have installed something different?
The below drivers i haven't installed yet, so sharing your experience on what drivers you used would be usefull.
7. realtek high definition audio
8. realtek card reader
9. Bluetooth (drivers + software??)
10. Synaptics pad (official synaptics site has as latest drivers the ones with gestures. Has anyone installed them or used the ones from toshiba website?)
11. Any toshiba software.
Have i forgotten anything?

Laserjet 1320 on win 7 (64bit) - cannot access from a networked XP Pro machine?

I have a Laserjet 1320 and a Officejet 6450 attached to a win 7 (64bit) machine - both work fine.
Have a home workgroup network established with an XP pro machine. Both printers are "shared" etc..
I can access the Offiejet from the XP machine, but cannot get access to the Laserjet. Claims that
the proper Driver cannot be located. Have downloaded the PCl5 driver to the Win 7 machine, but when
I point the XP machine to the HP PCL5 Driver folder on the win 7 machine it still cannot find the proper driver.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Don
Thanks for the reply.
The version of Visual Studio being used is 2002 (getting on a bit now).
We had a play about with the way we installed the MSI installer we had created that installs the Crystal Reports runtimes (merge modules) and managed to get it to work on both Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.
The solution was a weird one, but seemed to work (but was different to what I had done before to get it to work). We made sure the MSI was local on the PC and right-clicked the MSI and selected the ''Troubleshoot Compatibility' ' option. Not 100% why this would work, but it seems to have done the trick.
Many thanks for your help.
David.

Portege Z930: Loss of Fn keys after Win 8 upgrade - cannot turn WiFi on/off

After many months biding my time I have just embarked upon upgrading my Portege Z930-11G to Windows 8 Pro.
Largely this has gone to plan with the exception that after running the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant I've lost the Fn key display and about half the keys no longer seem to function at all.
The only key I ever used routinely is the Fn+F8 option to turn WiFi on/off.
So now I cannot enable the WiFi on the machine.
There must, surely, be a mean to do this but I can't find it. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm OK for now as I have a wired LAN in the house but once I get out on the road I'm going to struggle without WiFi.
Before running the upgrade assistant the Fn key brought the key display up across the top of the screen and I surely wish I'd turned WiFi on at that point.
The Fn key utility offers very little control of the Fn keys. It does not offer the ability to do anything other than disable five on screen notifications for keyboard backlight, power plan, touch pad, cursor overlay and numeric overlay.
All help gratefully received.
Andrew

> So now I cannot enable the WiFi on the machine.
First of all you can enable and disable the WiFi using function key but you can also enable the WLan in Windows 8 settings
Win key + C -> Settings -> Change PC settings -> Wireless
Now you can use the wireless devices slider to enable or disable the WLan.
But to get the FN key working you have to install the +Toshiba Function Key Utility+ for Win 8 and +Toshiba System Driver+ for Win 8

Satellite R630 - Driver issues on Win 7 64bit after SP1 upgrade

Need your help here guys,
My Satellite R-630 is less than a year old, running a Windows 7 Home Premium on 64 bit. For a while, I have been experiencing BSOD's, which I traced through the Event Viewer to here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd337789(WS.10).aspx
This did not lead me far enough.
Finally, I concluded through other forums that the SP1 upgrade would solve some of the annoying BSOD issues and I launched the download and upgrade. However, on restart, while my laptop seems to have been cured (so far) of the BSOD's, I have issues with drivers for:
- Sound Card
- USB Controllers
- DVD Player
- Webcam
- Bus Enumerators
I have downloaded the indicated Win 7 - 64 bit drivers in each case. I tried installing them first. Nothing happened. I uninstalled the existing drivers, and installed them again. Nothing happened again.
I figured I must be doing things in the wrong order.
So I tried installing
1). the Chip Set Utility (drivers?) first, then
2). the USB drivers
3). Sound card drivers etc.
Nothing is happening still.
I am running out of ideas here.
P.S While all the other drivers executed fine when I extracted them from the .zip format, the Sound card driver refused to execute, even though the "run command" box was ticked when the .msi file was run.
I extracted it into a folder and ran it manually.
Still didn't help.

That's where I got things wrong I think. I did not use the windows automatic update, because it kept saying connection was unsuccessful.
What happened is it identified a component of the SP1 as a "critical update", a 900 mb chunk (listed as windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5842 ) but would not download it. It failed every time. So I went on the windows download centre, looked up for the same component and installed it manually. Right now windows update turned green with the tick and says everything is fine.
I will try to restore my settings to the former configuration and let you know. I was about to try that last night, but I didn't see any restore date prior to the SP1 installation. I'll try this right now.
--*Edit:* So system restore isn't working. There is only one restore point that's prior to the SP1 installation. I've tried 3 times already. Every time it tells me that it could not access a file, probably because of antivirus. I use Avira. I disabled it the second time. Still same message. I uninstalled it completely for the 3rd trial, same message again.--
--So system restore isn't an option. Could it be that I missed a component that would be required for some drivers to work properly after the update?--
*Edit*: In all my troubles, I forgot an elementary step: run system restore in Safe Mode. Which I did. Now my system is back to before SP1, sound, usb connectivity working. I suppose everything is back where it should be. I'll just wait and see if i get a BSOD again and come back here if need be.
Thanks guys.

Satellite Pro L550-17U PSLW9E - Win 7 64bit HDD recovery question

Hi,
Basically when I recieved the laptop it had the Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed.
I created the backup disks as requested but the first disk got scratched and gets stuck on the install, I can install the 32 bit version (the CD it came with) and I've tried to create a new recovery disk via the 32 bit system but this just creates a 32 bit recovery disk (which I already had the proper disk).
Just seeing if there is any way to restore the 64 bit system without having to buy a new version of windows?
Satellite Pro L550-17U
Part Number : PSLW9E-01500MEN
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery) and
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (Toshiba-Recovery DVD)

Hi buddy,
The recovery disk that was delivered with your notebook contains *only* Windows 7 32bit version. That means if you install this version, you are able to create 32bit recovery disk but not 64bit. Therefore you would need the 64bit recovery disk.
In my opinion you can do nothing without ordering a 64bit recovery disk. Such disks can be ordered here:

I hope I could help you a little bit. :)

Is Satellite C50-A441 preinstalled with Win 8.1 English language?

I haven't managed to get a straight answer on the microsoft forum so am posting here.
The following product ( [C50-A441|http://www.toshibamea.com/ComputerProduct/4/Satellite_C50-A441/52956?pageid=4] ) is advertised as Windows 8.1 Single Language 64-bit (pre-installed).
I am currently based in the middle east and asked in the shop if the language was US English but I did not get a clear answer and I don't want to buy a laptop with Arabic.
Is there any way to know if it is in US English (I am not able to test before purchasing...).
Many Thanks.

The Satellite C50-A441 PSCGJV-009001AR was preinstalled with Toshiba image containing the Windows 8.1 in Arabic language.

Is Satellite U400-10T compatible with Win XP

Hello ,
i want to buy one Satellite U400-10T and I want to know it this model is compatible with Windows XP .
It' seems that on the Toshiba site, some drivers are present but it's all the drivers needed?
A+
Jean Marc

Of course its compatible why shouldnt it be???
The Satellite U400-10T seems to belong to the PSU40E series.
This series is listed on the Toshiba European driver page and ALL XP drivers are available
So you ask if all drivers are needed???
Well, of course you dont need to install everything from the page, but if you want to use all notebook features then all drivers and tools would be necessary!!!
Never fear ;) you will be able to install the XP on this notebook and it should run trouble free too ;)

Satellite A300-1FP - Chicony webcam Win 7 64bit - driver open failed

Greetings
I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my Toshiba Satellite A300-1FP. I was surprised at how smoothly it went. The only thing that was missing was a Windows 7 driver for the Chicony Webcam. A number of people on these forums have suggested using the Vista 64 bit driver. I tried numerous times to make this work. I deleted the startup entry, deleted and resinstalled the driver from device manager, etc. Everything I have found on these forums I've tried.
None of it works. I continue to get the error message "Webcam driver open failed. Please restart camera or computer."
Even with the "camera assistant" the Chicony camera is really awful. Had I know before I bought the machine I would have chosen otherwise. Too late now. Without the assitant you have only the driver that comes with Windows 7 which allows you to use the camera but unless you have Hollywood quality lighting the video is so dark that it is nearly unusable. The "camera assistant" at least had a booster for darker rooms.
I don't know why Toshiba ever used this camera in the first place.
There are many people with this same exact problem who are looking for help in the various forums for their system.
If anyone knows how to handle this I would really appreciate hearing from you. Toshiba, if you're listening, what were you thinking?
Dave

Hello
Just a little question: Have you tried this?
[Why an error message displayed "Webcam driver open fail. Restart camera or computer"?|http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=18]
Furthermore it would be interesting to know if the same happens with factory settings. Can you check this please?

Which Video Card will Work out of Box with P7-1240 Desktop with Win 7-64bit & AMD A10-5700 CPU?

Hi Folks,
I'm new here and have already searched for solutions. I have P7-1240 Desktop purchased new in June 2012 with Jasmine MSI-MS-7778 motherboard, AMD A10-5700 quad core, 10 MB ram and Windows 7 64-bit. I'm trying to install a graphics board so my son can play some games that he currently must play on low resolution using the integrated graphics.
I updated my PSU to 600 watt Corsair and tried GTX 750 Ti and GTX-660 cards to no avail (the computer won't boot past HP splash screen). I've also tried AMD Radeon R7-265 card but couldn't even boot to the HP splash screen. As I understand, HP offers no BIOS updates for Windows 7 (I read here that one guy loaded a BIOS update for Windows 8 on his Windows 7 machine and it worked, but I am too chicken to try that).
I just want to put this issue to rest. So my question is simply this: Does anybody know of ANY graphics card series that will definitely work OUT-OF-THE-BOX in my machine with the stock BIOS and PCI-Exp 16 Gen 2 slot? I was going to try a GTX 500-series card next. But I wanted to get some advice first, since I won't be able to return it if it doesn't work.
Thank you!
Gary
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Graphics card compatibility with the BIOS levels in PCs is not the only factor. PCI-E slot version compatibility both upwards and downwards would be another factor. Manufacturers will at times view standards differently and hence design their graphics cards to function differently compared to the same card being made by a different manufacturer. Manufacturers may also design graphics cards to only work with their motherboards. Bottom line is that not every graphics card will work in every PC.
