Need Toshiba tools and utilities for my Satellite A660-149

Hi friends
I have formatted my Toshiba Satellite A660-149 and I didnt create recovery CD/DVD.
I have installed Windows 7 but now thing is that I dont have any of Toshiba features like eco utility, HDD protection, face recognition, NVIDIA graphic controller.
Please suggest me what should I do now....& where I can get this software.

Hi friend ;)
All necessary drivers and Toshiba specific tools and utilities you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads Support homepage.
At the bottom of this page you will see option Driver download.
Go there, choose your notebook model and you will find all you need.
Of course, there you will find stuff for supported OS version only.
Good luck

Satellite P100-488 - Installing Toshiba tools and utilities on Windows 7

Hello everybody,
I have purchased a pre-order of Windows 7 Professional for my laptop and would like to upgrade it from Windows Vista Home Premium installed on it at the moment.
However, I just have one question :
- Do you think I will be able to upgrade from Windows Vista Home to Windows 7 Professional without a full install ?
- Else, if I have to perform a full install, then is it possible to install the Toshiba tools and utilities from the CD (I have not found anything to do this) ?
Many thanks in advance.
Fred

Hi Fred
As I can see you have two questions. ;)
At first I must say that I don't believe anybody here will be able to offer exact answers but here is my opinion:
Q1 for OS installation I prefer full installation but I think you will be able to make Win7 upgrade. Problem is how the Toshiba tools and utilities will work after this upgrade. As far as I know in the past Toshiba has suggested removing some tools and utilities before upgrade installation starts.
So maybe you should think about full OS installation. I think it is better solution for you.
Q2 I the whole story I see one problem what if Toshiba will not offer Win7 support for your notebook model? Then you will have problem and just try to use Vista stuff in hope it will works with Win7 too. Anyway, in this forum you can find many postings where people confirm that most of Vista stuff runs well with Win7.
Good luck Fred.

Needed Recovery CD and drivers for my Satellite L850-B148

Where can I Get a recovery and drivers cd for my Toshiba Satellite L850-B148?
Recently, I had my motherboard and HDD replaced and win7 freshly installed. But unfortunately, I could not find the CD that came with the laptop. Can you help?

Hello
As I can see doc has already posted the links for drivers download. If you don't have recovery disc for recovery image installation you can install own OS version using Microsoft installation disc. All necessary drivers, tools and utilities you can download from Toshiba download page. Of course you must install them one by one.
In this case your preinstalled OS will not be activated as original recovery image so you must buy valid licence code (product key).
In my opinion best solution for you is to order original recovery installation disc. I don't know where do you live but I hope the link posted by doc will work for you.
Using recovery installation disc the whole package will be installed and when finished it is not necessary to install anything. OS, drivers and all necessary tools and utilities will be installed and configured properly.

Need Intel HD display driver for my Satellite A660

I recently have tried to use Windows Movie Maker, but get error message to say the Intel HD driver installed is blocked. (version 8.15.10.2014).
When I try and update via the Intel updater am told cannot update as Operating Manufacturer has configured the device, but there is no more recent version on the driver downloads for my machine on the Toshiba support pages.
I have updated the Nvida card drivers no problem via the Nvida website, but how can I update the Intel one??Please advise as this is driving me nuts.
My machine is a Satellite A660 running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, with an Intel Core i5-480m processor and Intel(R) HD Graphics card.

Hi
Intel Core i5-480M supports the Intel HD graphics and the newest driver could be downloaded directly from Intel page:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?ProdId=3231
The installation is a little bit tricky.
First of all you would need to download the ZIP package where all the singles driver files are zipped in the folder.
Then you should update the driver within the device manager.
Here you have to start the Advanced installation procedure which allows you to choose the downloaded and unzipped folder.
This update procedure works for me like a charm

It can't be expanded. You'll have to use a different calendar service if iCloud limits aren't enough.

I have a form that has multiple fields but has 5 sections. I have used mail merge to insert information but I can't get Excel to recognize that I need different names and addresses for each section. Please help.

Thanks for your response. I do believe I have the information needed for each form on a separate line in Excel. There is a first name, middle name, last name, city, and zip column. And field is entered on a different line for all the information. I'm really stuck.

Satellite A660-149 - Does it have a 3D video card?

My notebook has been a surprise gift for me - day after day I'm now discovering its many wonderful features. A bit of a struggle though 'cos I'm far from being well versed in computing.
One thing I'm uncertain about is this: Is my NVidia GeForce a 3d video card? I 'd better be sure because a couple of the drivers Toshiba Tempro suggests I install come with the warning: *This driver is only for the model with the nVidia 3D video card*. Is anyone around who can confirm the Satellite A660-149 does have a 3d video card?

Thank you, folks, for helping me clarify my very hazy ideas on this subject. Then this screen with 1366x768 res/ and 60 hz refresh rate is for sure not up to reproducing 3d, but Xardas must be right in thinking the A660 may support 3D on an external monitor which would explain why the Toshiba utility advises on the installation of a 3d driver for the A660 series. Oh well, I won't bother with 3d one way or another, enough complications in life as it is at the moment. Cheers all. :)

Satellite A660-149 - Tosh utility disappeared!

Would someone pl. help me trace the following utility which I've had till recently on my brand new Satellite A660-149 but now it's gone (maybe through some fault of mine).
It took the form of a rectangle that would hide at the edge of the screen and would (inconveniently, most of the time) pop out whenever the cursor hit its outline. One of its 3 buttons caused a box to appear where you could select one of various pre-set options for the display according to ambient lighting, one of these options being user defined.
I found this utility most useful for quickly changing the display adjustments whenever I had to move my laptop around.
I hardly had time to look into what this utility was called and where it was residing, before I lost it without trace.
A prize to anyone who helps me rediscover it ?!

How kind not having given up on me, Xardas! :)
I'm having the same results as you, with Flash Cards. As a novice I haven't looked into these things properly yet, but it seems to me the tool I'm after isn't related to Flash Cards. The closest I could maybe describe it is: a control for ambient light. BTW I don't seem to have a functioning Ambient Light Sensor, i.e. the button next to the Power button (numbered 13 in the Manual) - it must've been disabled for my model. The Manual says: *The Ambient Light Sensor automotically adjusts picture & contrast etc etc. By utilizing up to 8 different contrast settings, you will see the best picture possible in any room environment.* Well, I wonder: the utility I'm after with its (as far as I remember) 8+ lighting presets, must've been a kind of compensation/replacement for the missing automatic Ambient Light Sensor. As I said, it took the form of a (maybe) 4cm x 1cm rectangle hiding at the edge of the screen.

Satellite Pro A120: Need all drivers and easyguard for Win 7

Hi!
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, which I purchased back in 2007 and I am very satisfied with it.
It had Windows Vista Business, but recently I installed Windows 7 and this is where my dilemmas began.
My touch pad doesn't work correctly, its scroll feature doesn't work anymore, to be precised. I installed the latest ALPS touch pad driver, but the problem remains.
Then, when I checked the system, I noticed two devices that are listed and it said that there are no drivers installed for them. I cannot find out which devices are those and where to find the drivers.
Here are they:
1st: ACPI\TOS6208\2&DABA3FF&1 Driver not installed!
2nd: ACPI\TOS620A\2&DABA3FF&1 Driver not installed!
And my third problem is regarding Toshiba's sets of programs and utilities.
My laptop came with Toshiba Easyguard, with theft protection and other Toshiba programs, and now I lost them all. Is there any way I can get them?
I have to say that I have no intention of going back to Windows Vista, so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you all for your answers and help!

Hi
In my in my humble opinion the additional touchpad features and other devices dont work correctly because the installed drivers are not designed for Win 7 and possibly are not fully compatible with Win 7.
Who knows if the Win 7 drivers would be released for Sat A120 series we will see
At this time I didnt find special Win 7 drivers for A120.
But if found some Win 7 beta drivers on US page:

Maybe you are lucky man and some drivers would run on your A120.

Re: Need Win 7 Recovery Disc for my Satellite Pro L750

Hi all,
Could someone tell me where to download or get a copy of the OEM Win 7 Recovery disc for my Satellite Pro L750? The laptop has a new HDD without a working recovery partition and I don't the recovery CD.
Help Please.

Yes of course you should make backup disks but this was my first personal laptop (unbelievable, right ? Never needed one before) and I wasn't aware i couldn't just make a recovery disk from any pc like I used to do for my desktop. The hdd is supposed to last for what, 5,000 hours ?
I would be lucky to have had more than 1,000 hours on it. And no games play either; it had an easy life.
As per Microsoft Forums I did a clean install of Windows 7 using a supposedly OEM setting download from Digital River (OEM in the 'channel' setting in the ei.efg file) but good old Toshiba must do something else in the hardware as slmgr /dli still states it's a 'retail' version so even though Microsoft would have given me a new product key (as to which i am entitled as i have purchased a licence when i bought the laptop), because the installation id states retail based, my genuine licence key number from the bottom of the laptop does not register as genuine when they check.
I tried my desktop pc oem windows 7 installation disk that I got with the pc (now there's a whacky idea, providing a disk with the purchase...) and no luck there either. The laptop was still locked to its own licence key and retail version. I'm guessing even if i bought a new retail windows copy, it still wouldn't work !
I still think $66 is far too much to pay to get the disks. I've already paid for the windows licence, But what choice has toshiba left me, other than to pay them their blood money.
I may be a slow learner, but I do learn. I will never buy a Toshiba laptop, or other Toshiba product again. Sure, other companies will have the same licensing setup, but I'm not angry at them !

Need swappable CD rom drive for the Satellite 230CX

After hours trawling the net, I still haven't found the part number for the swappable cdrom drive for the Satellite 230CX.
Sadly a couple of sites say it's the PA2659U / XM-1402B, so I bought one from eBay, and it doesn't fit!
Any help would be appreciated with either the straight answer or a pointer to a parts list.
Cheers.

Its an oldie.
I dont found any information about this notebook.
But usually it should be possible to order the supported and compatible CD rom part from the Toshiba service partner in your country.

Need user's manuals document for my Satellite L645

Hi
I need users manuals for my notebook.
I bought it in Asia but unfortunately I dont have manuals for it.
Ive already searched it on toshiba page but I cannot find it.
Who can help me?
My notebook model is Satellite L645.
Thanks in advance
+Message was edited: posting has been translated+

Dont know what *Satellite L645-xxx* you have exactly but such series was released for USA market too: for example +Satellite L645-S4102+
Therefore the manual could be downloaded also from Toshiba US support page; of course it depends on model you have.

Help!! I am in need of the recovery disks for a Satellite 2445-S305.

Hi all,
I am needing the recovery disks for a Satellite 2445-S305. I know this is an old one but still serves its purpose. I just tried to reload back to factory with my disks but they are in bad shape and not working! I hope someone can help me out. I own the laptop and it has the COA for XP home and I have the original disks. I can offer proof that I am not trying to scam and get the OS for free. Reason for going back to factory is that when I load XP PRO the device manager show one "unknown device" and I can not solve this. I have run across this before in the past and found a solution but I do not remember what it took to solve. Thanks for any help!
