Cannot install LAN driver on Satellite M100-221

I reinstalled OS on my Satellite M100 - 221 PSMA0E.
IT previously used Windows XP Home Edition, and now I installed Windows XP Professional SP2. I have an error in my DEVICE MANAGER with ethernet controller, mass storage controller,SM bus controller. But let's stick to ETHERNET CONTROLLER.
I download the genuine LAN driver from Toshiba official website, and every time I'm trying to install it I get the message "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware".
In NETWORK UPADATE wizard I don't even have option to choose Realtek driver, only Intel and some others. My network adapter worked great on preinstalled XP Home edition. What am I suppose to do? Please HELP!!!

Hi,
I guess you should try the intel drivers instead of the realtek drivers because your machine was shipped with an Intel LAN chipset.
So, please visit the intel website (www.intel.com) and download the latest LAN drivers from their homepage.
It should work and you should have soon a working ethernet connection.
Regards

Cannot install LAN driver for my "KT6 Delta Series" motherboard

I've got this motherboard (KT6 Delta Series). Bought it second hand recently and I haven't got the original MSI driver CD. I downloaded all the drivers from the MSI website (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=474&kind=1) but I'm not able to install the driver for my onboard LAN.
I just get a yellow dot on the ethernet controller under unknown devices in my device manager. When I try to update driver from device manager by searching the folder where I unzipped the driver, I just get a message saying something like "no driver could be found for this device in the selected folder... will you connect to Windows Update to search for a driver...?". I've also tried to install it the hard way by selecting "from floppy disc" and browse for the "b44win.inf" file inside the "WinXP" folder in the unzipped driver folder... but I stilll get an error message... saying something like "can't find any information of the hardware in the selected folder"... it's a bit difficult for me to describe the messages correctley because not English Windows version.
I've downloaded both LAN drivers for this card from MSI download site (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=474&kind=1). Both "Broadcom 5788 LAN Drivers" and "Broadcom 4401 LAN Drivers" and non of them will install on my system. I've also tried downloading from the Broadcom website (http://www.broadcom.com/drivers/downloaddrivers.php). NON of them will install (
I've just formated my harddrive with fresh Windows XP install... The only software already installed is drivers for my motherboard and AGP card. No other software that can make any conflicts. When I connect a network cable to the onboard LAN the yellow light goes on so it seems the card itself is working.... but where can I get a driver that will install???
I've also tried connecting another network card (realtek 10/100) and connected my ADSL internett through it... and used the MSI Live Update utility... but still no luck... the only network driver it gets is the one for my reltek card :-(
Any suggestions???
I use Windows XP Professional SP2. How do I install the drivers for my onboard LAN???
Best regard.

"...so my onboard Broadcom 4401/5788 controller thinks it is a 3COM controller instead of a broadcom controller..." Think it shouldn't be possible since basic data should be written in a kind of ROM. Now, if that could happen, it should be possible to reverse it the same way you did to overwrite that data.
I belive you are right... but I can't reverse it the same way I did when overwrite the data... because I'm not able to install the driver :( I cannot install the driver at all in Windows XP. In Windows ME it's possible to force the installation of the driver... but it does not work. It moves from unknown devices to network controllers... but it gets a yellow dot... and is not working. Every time I boot Windows ME I get a message reporting that something is wrong with the broadcom ethernet controller :(
I belive the only way I can reverse it is to replace my harddrive with another... with Windows XP and drivers for my card is already installed on the harddrive... the same way as I did when overwriting the rom file(s) with data from my Asus board... but I can't make such a harddrive when the drivers won't install on my card :(
I maybe think this also has happend to the onboard Audio controller... and maybe the chipsett also :( The audio controller works perfectley eith the MSI C-Media drivers... but when I run MSI live update... I get drivers for the C-Media device... but also drivers for "VIA AC97" audio controller can be downloaded from the MSI Live Update Utility... The "VIA AC97" is the audio controller on my Asus board... so I belive it has happened here also... and maybe also to the "VIA 4in1" chipset... but this is the same "VIA KT600" chipset as on my Asus board. When updating my Via 4in1 driver, I just get an option to update the inf file. But normaly on "Via 4in1" drivers on other boards I know, there shold be installed drivers for PCI, IDE and AGP. Is it the same way for you guys with this motherboard? Is it only the "Inf file" to update for you guys also?
What I think is most frustrating here is that things like this cab happen. This can happen to everybody. Many times I've switched harddrive from one computer to another... and I've never experienced anything like this before. This time I was not planing to boot the harddrive at all... just format it... but forgot to set the right boot order... so the harddrive booten... and that's all it takes to "destroy" my board. Shouldn't these ROM files be a littlebit more difficult to overwrite, you think? Why doesn't MSI writeprotect their ROM files or anything... to make them a littlebit more difficult to destroy...?
Well... I'm still interested in advices on how to "restore" my motherboard data to the original values... and remember... clear CMOS and update BIOS is not enough :(

Cannot install Display Driver on Satellite L500D-14W

Hey,
I have a big problem with the Display Driver. I reinstalled the Windows now i cant install the Toshiba or any other modified driver. I cant use the old Display resolution 1366x768, only 1024x768.
Windows Device Manager shows only Standard VGA Graphic Card
I tried so many ways to fix this problem.

Hi
If you are using Win 7 then it should not be a big problem to get the right driver for this unit I installed Win 7 on my notebook and Win 7 was able to pick up the driver automatically.
Go to device manager and select the graphic card. Now choose driver update and lets Win 7 searching for the driver automatically
Usually this should work
By the way: Toshiba European driver page provides Win XP and Win 7 drivers for this notebook model L500D PSLT6E

Satellite A40-151: Cannot install display driver from Intel site

Trying to update display driver on the A40-151. Have downloaded latest driver from Intel which very helpfully states 'You cannot install this driver, please contact your vendor' no more clues.
Toshiba site only seems to have the 6.13.10.3514 version which is the same as that which came with machine. Am I therefore stuck with no possible upgrades?
The current driver seems not to be 100% compatible with Directx 9.0c * Sigh *

Hi
What Intel graphic card was installed on your notebook?
Is it a Intel 852GME 16MB-64MB shared memory graphic card???
I have found nice information on the Intel page and it seems that the graphic card hardware does not support the DirectX9 but only the DirextX7 and DirecttX8
The graphic driver from the Intel page will not help you.
Firstly you will be not able to install it because its not designed for the Toshiba notebook usage and secondly the hardware does not support it.
But I give you one tip if you search for a earlier driver version.
Some notebooks use the same graphic cards. Try to search for the driver in different notebook series with the same graphic card .
But the new installation will nothing change. The DirectX 9 API is not supported

Re: Satellite M100-221: screen goes black moving the display

Hi,
I have a problem with the lcd display on toshiba satellite M100-221.
When I move the display the screen goes black.
The display works properly only when the angle is close to 90 degrees.

Hi buddy,
Im not a technician but I agree with the user above. For me it sounds like a hardware problem and you should go to an authorized service provider. The technicians can check your notebook and exchange faulty notebook parts.
You can search on the Toshiba website for nearest ASP. ;)

Satellite C850-19Z - cannot install display driver

Hi
I have had to reinstall my Toshiba Satellite C850 - 19Z ----- PSCBWE - 02400NEN
with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
The laptop uses Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU B830 @ 1.80GHz 1.80 GHz processor
Everything has installed fine apart from the display driver.
I downloaded the following file as my laptop is using an Intel Processor
Intel Display Driver
Version 8.15.10.2752
display-20130924153144.zip4
For model Satellite C850
I found the file using the following drop down options on the Toshia website
Satellite C850 PSCBWE Windows 7 64 Bit Display Driver United Kingdom English
When I try to install the file I get the following error message:
This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.
I have checked the requirements in the readme file. The three requirements are:
1.
3rd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) processors
2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 processor
2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 processor
2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 vPro(TM) processor
2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 processor
2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 vPro(TM) processor
I am not sure which generation my processor belongs to but i'm assuming it is one of the above since this is the driver for my specific laptop.
2. The software should be installed on systems with at
least 1 GB of system memory.
I have 4 GB of RAM and my system is showing 4 GB is installed.
3. There should be sufficient hard disk space in the <TEMP>
directory on the system in order to install this
software.
I have 270 GB of free space in my primary hard drive / partition which windows is installed into. The file defaults to extract in this hard drive / partition.
I cannot figure out what the problem is with this installation.
Please help!!!
Thanks

Hi
As you said, the notebook was equipped with the Intel Celeron processor B830
This CPU supports the Intel HD graphic chip as mentioned on the Intel ARK page:
http://ark.intel.com/de/products/71141
The driver can be downloaded also from Intel page:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/
Here choose:
-Graphics drivers
-Laptop graphics drivers
-Intel Celeron Processors with Intel HD graphics
Here you can download an zip package.
Then you will be able to update or install the driver within the device manager.
You can use the Advanced installation which will help you to point to the unzipped driver folder

And then choose at operating system Windows XP and at Driver type LAN Driver.
Click on search and you will get the right driver.
Download and install it. How this works did Jimi said.

Satellite A100-590 - cannot install Display Driver for Win7

I installed Win7 on my Satellite A100-590 (PSAA9E-03Z00QGR) today. Everything works fine exept for the display drivers.
I downloaded the win7/32bit drivers from here: [here|http://at.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=AT&BV_UseBVCook ie=yes&PRODUCT_ID=115970] But when I try to install them, the files extract and then nothing happens.
Anybody else have this problem or even better a solution? will any other drivers work on that laptop?
edit: graphic card is a ATI Mobility Radeon X1600

Extract the files into some new created folder. Open it and use setup.exe.
What happen when you start it manually using setup.exe?
You can also try to start setup in folder Bin.

And no i cant do it when i boot the pc it makes another problem
So how can i fix this not recognize thing do i need too download a driver or something like that

Hello
Your posting is pretty confusing and it is not easy to understand you.
I dont understand which setup file you want to use but you cannot install operating system with click on some setup file.
You can install Windows 7 using Toshiba recovery image (if you got one) or using original Microsoft Windows 7 installation disc.
So please be nice and explain to me which disc do you have and how do you try to install Windows 7.

Need LAN driver for Satellite Pro A120

Hay,
at the begining, my english is not very well, i'm sorry.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A 120 laptop, but i lost the recovery disc so i dont have drivers for internet. When i plug in cable for ADSL nothing is hapening. I was search that on this pages, but did not find. There are two available, and i dont know how to download it.
When i download it and extract there is no icon for install.

Hi champion20,
What is the exact part number of your notebook?
Usually you can download all drivers on Toshiba website. If you have an European model, check the European website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads
The correct LAN driver is depending on the built in hardware. If you dont know how to identify an unknown device, check this very useful article:

Cannot install BT driver

For last few days I was not able to use my Bluetooth and wireless connection. Then when I was trying to install Bluetooth driver on my Toshiba Satellite M645 - PSMPML-00UOO5 it shows the message "Could not turn Bluetooth power on. Please turn on wireless communication switch located on side of main unit." but i am not understanding this.
Where is the switch?

According posted part number you have an Asian notebook model and it is not known to me.
Anyway, I presume the principle how it works must be the same for all Toshiba models so for enabling WLAN or BT module you must use FN+F8 key combination.
Please check it out and post some feedback.
