Satellite Pro A120 - Cannot get the PCMCIA card to work

OK i have a problem with my Satellite Pro A120's (xp service pack 2) cardbus.
I use the cardbus slot to add firewire conections via a IEEE 1394 cardbus card and have been doing this a long time. The other night my comp went into hibernate with the card still in the slot and still in use and when i tried to use it the next day the card was not working at all.
So i thought the had died on me and brought another one, this one to be exact [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16839314003] .
When i plug the new card into the slot windows starts the installation add new hardware thing but does not find the driver, there is none on the provided CD and it does not conect to windows update to find one ethier. So the new card does not work and does not get installed, it just shows up with ! next to pci device.
I have looked everywhere on the internet to find the driver, read the manual etc.I even did a fresh install of windows so it might find the drivers but nope.
The only thing i can think of is the slot does not except 32 bit cardbus but in my manual it says this:
"The computer is equipted with a pc card slot that can accomedate a type II card. Any pc card that meets industry standards can be installed. The slot supports 16 bit pc cards, including pc cards 16 multifunction card and cardbus pc cards. Cardbus supports a new standard of 32 bit pc cards."
Any help please
Thanks

Thanks for your help but i ahve already tried this including searching the net for the driver and no luck. I've also tried microsoft update but no luck.
The reason i can't find the drivers is because the cardbus card is supposted to be plug and play but windows doesn't have them.
The good news is i found out my old card was 32-bit just like the new one so my laptop is compatible. I don't want to just go and by another card incase that one won't work.

Take it to the nearest Apple store or AASP so you do not accidentally damage it and void any warranty you may have left.

Hi, I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro but cant get the mirroring function to work with Apple TV. I've got the most recent Software 10.7.5 but cant see the mirroring icon or turn this on. I'm able to mirror from my Ipad but not my Mac, any thoughts?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
AirPlay Mirroring is supported on your Mac, but it needs OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
You have two possibilities:
1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade to this OS X. Then, you will find the AirPlay Mirroring icon at the top right of the display, on the menu bar, or on System Preferences > Displays.
2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
Both options work properly, but I recommend AirPlay Mirroring as it doesn't need a third-party program

Let's start with the general things.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

I don't have any direct experience with D-Link equipment, but I may be able to provide some general advice. See if you can use a Web browser to connect to the D-Link's configuration screen. This probably involves visiting a URL such as http://www.192.168.0.1 . If you haven't changed the sign-on parameters, a quick Google search should find them for you.
Once there, note as many configuration details as you can find. You'll need those to configure your Time Capsule.
Use the AirPort Utility to configure the Time Capsule.
One last thing: It's quite possible that the Verizon network will have locked onto the "MAC" address of your D-Link router. Something needs to be done to reset this. If there's a separate box at your house that came with the FIOS equipment that's "upstream" from the D-Link router, I'd cycle power on it to see if that does the job. Otherwise you'll probably need to call Verizon to ask them to reset things once your Time Capsule is installed in place of the D-Link router.

Cannot get the Oilpaint Filter to work

I own CS6 and just downloaded the Photoshop CC trial version. I cannot get the oilpaint filter to work in either. I must be missing something. When I open a photo, select filters and then oilpaint - all I get is the grey screen (with the oilpaint tools). But no photo is there for me to apply the filter effect. Any idea what I am missing?

Satellite Pro A120 cannot boot up when printer is connected

Hi I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 but am having a very strange problem.
I installed my printer - Epson Stylus Photo R300 but now the laptop wont boot up if the printer is turned on. When I turn it on the Toshiba screen comes up ok, then the Windows XP screen comes up with the black background when the blue bar goes across to load Windows but its all faded out and the laptop just freezes and will not power up!
However if you turn the printer off and re-start the laptop it boots up fine!
Its definitely the printer that is causing this as its only when I have it turned on.
It never caused this problem with my old PC that was using Windows XP too.
Any help with a resolution would be greatly appreicated.
Thanks
Adam.

Hello Adam
I am afraid there is not much to do. Friend of mine has the same problem and the fact is that Epson chipset is pretty bad and it gives completely wrong information to the system. Because of that notebook is confused and can not start.
I can just recommend you to use USB hub and I hope it will work. I dont know if your notebook can boot from USB device but if this option is available please disable it.
Good luck!

Getting Wireless PCMCIA card to work

Attempting to get a Linksys wpc54G wireless PCMCIA card to work on my 1.5Ghz G4 PB.
I verified that the card works, by plugging it into to a PC.. ( works fine)
Plugging the card into my pcmcia slot, on nothing. No lights.. nothing.
I get the PCMCIA icon on the menu bar, three options
unknown vendor <-grayed out
Network controller <-grayed out
Power card off.
I read where there might be some hack that I have to do to get PCMCIA support running, but no clues after that.
Any help is greatly appreciated...
Larry

Hi,
When I got my PCMCIA wireless card (not Linksys) it came with an install CD. The G4 maybe wouldn't of known what it was or what to do with it on it's own, needed the install feature.
Works fine once installed. Did you get an install CD for it from Linksys? For the Mac OSX? If not, it might pay to check their web-site for one.

Cannot get the Mobile Template to work in SharePoint Foundation 2013

Hello all,
I am trying to get the Mobile View to work in SharePoint Foundation 2013. When I access the site on any phone it gives me the following error:
"Cannot complete this action. Please try again."
The URL it forwards me to is "http://<sitecollectionurl>/_layouts/15/mobile/mblwpa.aspx?Url=%2Fdefault%2Easpx
So it seems to me like it's working, but there's something wrong with the template. The template has definitely never been modified.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Vinny

Firefox 13 and 14 will not install properly on my windows 7 starter. Also I cannot get the Scrapbook addon to work. Can you tell me why ?

I have tried to install Firefox 13 and 14 on my netbook, running a Windows 7 starter OS. The installation begins to go smoothly from the setup.exe file; but after the installation seems complete, and I press the 'Open Firefox' button the firefox programme can be seen to start opening because it accumulates about 50mb of private bytes RAM on the windows task manager or on the 'process explorer' utility program by sysinternals. '''However the firefox screen/window never opens up and so firefox does not seem to be properly installed.'''' Also I have had problems with getting the Scrapbook" addon to install properly. I have another computer, a laptop, running XP Home, and I can get the Firefox 13 or 14 to install but it is on this other computer that I cannot get the 'Scrapook' addon to install properly; There is no notice on the Addon page saying the 'Scrapbook' addon does not work on Firefox 13 or 14, and the addon does install, but not properly, so it does not work.
I have the old Firefox setup.exe files, and so I have managed to install an old version, firefox 3 or 4, on an external hard drive. I have successfully got this old firefox to work on the XP Home laptop from an external hard drive, and can successfully use the 'Scrapbook' addon in this way.
I cannot understand why I have problems with Firefox 13 or 14. I think I first noticed the problem about 'Scrapbook' with Firefox 12.

It seems your Mozilla installation is broken. Try the following steps to fully uninstall Mozilla Firefox:
1. Uninstall Firefox as you would normally do.
2. Open a command prompt as administrator.
3. By using the cd and rd command, remove Firefox AppData and Roaming folders, for example:
C:\Users\USERNAME> cd AppData
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData> cd Local
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local> cd Mozilla
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla> rd /s Firefox
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla\*.* - Are you sure? (y/n) y
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla> cd ..
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local> cd ..
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\> cd Roaming
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming> cd Mozilla
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla> rd /s Firefox
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\*.* - Are you sure (y/n) y
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla > exit
Remember to press Enter each time.
4. After that, open a hard disk clean-up tool (such as CCleaner or Windows built-in) and remove all temporary files from your computer.
5. Restart your computer. Download '''again''' the Firefox package from [http://www.mozilla.org/es-ES/download/?product=firefox-14.0.1&os=win&lang=es-ES Mozilla official servers] and try to install Firefox. If the problem persists maybe your computer has a problem or is infected with viruses.
About the Scrapbook add-on, I could get it to work. It has no icon when docked to the toolbar, but you can anyway open it. Right-click a button on the toolbar, click Customize... find the Scrapbook icon, drag it to the bookmarks bar so you can see the icon and click on it to open it. Whenever you need to save a page, right-click that page and choose Save page.
