Network Controller driver for T42p not working

We have a T42p (type 2373-HTU) that had a new copy of WinXP Pro installed on it, wired network is working but wireless is NOT working.
In Device Manager, the network adaptor is showing up as working and it is (Intel PRO/1000 MT Mobile Connection) working fine on a wired connection. The Bluetooth works when you Fn-F5 it on. My problem is that the Network Controller has the infamous yellow question mark on it and I have been through every single driver on the Lenova site for this particular laptop (2373-HTU) and none of them work. I did follow the install instructions and still have the same problem. I assume this is why the wireless networking is not working. I do have an icon in Control Panel for Wireless Network setup wizard. There is no off/on switch for wireless on this model. I have been in the BIOS and there is no way to turn wireless off/on in there either. As far as I know ... this particular model does have a wireless card installed.

Welcome to the forum! These were the original specs of your T42p:
P M 745, 1GB RAM, 60GB 7200rpm HDD, 15 UXGA(1600x1200) TFT LCD, 128MB ATI FireGL T2, CD-RW/DVD-R Multi-Burner(slim), Intel 802.11b wireless, Bluetooth/Modem, 1Gb Ether, UltraNav, Sec Chip, 9 cell Li-Ion Batt, WinXP Pro
The driver, presuming you're running XP:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/1rwc89ww.exe
After downloading and extracting the driver, you must go into C>Drivers>Win>Wlanint and run the setup file from there.
Quite a few users have reported issues with Intel 2100B card under XP SP3. You may want to consider getting a newer card, they are quite inexpensive nowadays.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Cheers,
George

No network controller driver for Portege R500 (Windows XP)

Hello
I don't quite understand why Toshiba does not provide the necessary drivers to make a new Portege R500 WLAN work. I have absolutely no wireless networking capability, as if the switch was turned off, and I have a yellow question mark in the Windows Device Manager ("Other devices", "Network Controller"). Windows does not find a driver on the two restoration CDs and trying to install everything from http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads doesn't help neither.
Has anybody managed to find drivers to correct this "Network Controller" problem for an R500 under Windows XP? Maybe my unit has a hardware defect, because I can't believe that WLAN support for XP is not provided out of the box or at the very least by downloading files on the Toshiba support site
Thank you
Olivier

Hello
Reading your posting one thing is strange for me. Can you please explain to me what you mean with: Windows does not find a driver on the two restoration CDs.???
As far as I know restoration CD/DVD is not a kind of driver collection but recovery image that you can use for clean operating system installation. Can you please tell me which restoration (recovery) CDs you have? Are both of them for one operating system or you got one for Vista and other for WXP.
I have checked Toshiba support page and there is listed WLAN driver version 11.5.0.32 / 9.0.4.37. Download it and unzip the driver files and before you start installation check readme.txt file at first.
By the way, for WXP installation please use Installations Instructions document and follow listed installations order.

DV8225nr Mass Storage Controller driver, left mouse not working, and standby blinking light?

Hello!
1. Getting a yellow arrow in Device Manager for Other Devices>Mass Storage Controller. Online HP site scan can't find my computer. When I type model as DV8225nr, it's can't find that either. I need a driver so I can clear this question mark. Properties>Details> Device Instance ID is PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8033&SUBSYS_309B103C&REV_00/4&13826118&23A4
2. My daughter uses this computer so maybe through some key combination or switch or something (unless it just failed), the left mouse button doesn't work. I have to use a USB optical mouse. Any idea what I can look at to restore full functionality to the mouse/touchpad?
3. At night, I notice that there is a flashing blue light comping from this computer. I think it's when it goes into standby. Any way to stop that flashing?
I appreciate everyone's help!

Hi:
You need this driver for that device.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-43235-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Did you install the touchpad driver?
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-48345-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
If that doesn't work, I don't have any other suggestions for you and I concur with your assumption that it is a hardware problem.
Blinking light? Shut the PC down instead of letting it go into sleep mode.
There are no settings to not have that happen.

I have an 8300 a3 printer driver for vista not working

when i download the driver for the 8330 or 8350 for vista they dont work

thankyou

Make sure your scanner is on. Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners
If you've been using your scanner before the update, then you should see your scanner in the left-hand sidebar. (If not, you'll have to add it by clicking on the + sign.) Click on Open Scanner. It will scan, but I would rather not have to go to System Preferences to scan.
Solution - use application Image Capture, a default Mac app in your Applications Folder. Drag it to your Dock. Launch application. You will find your scanner under Devices. VOILA!
It's not the same Epson Professional scan window I'm accustomed to using. It's now a part of Image Capture. The Scan interface is much cleaner.

Formatted WD Elements external hard drive for mac, not working

Hey.
So i recently got a new television and found that i could plug my WD Elements hard drive into it and watch my movies etc.
the hard drive hadnt been updated in a while, so last time i had updated it was before we got a mac. i plugged it in the other day to put new things on it and my mac recognized it but it said it was read only and wouldnt allow me to put new things onto it. After doing a bit of googling i realized i needed to format it. I thought i would give it a go see what happened. after looking on the forums i formatted it through either exFAT or NTFS. and my hard drive changed to read & write and i could put my things onto it. But when i plugged it into the tele it said no media was found(still recgonized my hd though)
I'm guessing ive done something wrong. i just don't know exactly what. any tips or suggestions on what to do next would be much appreciated! thanks
oh and my mac's version is 10.9.1

You did nothing wrong, you just need to find a format that can be shared by the Mac and your TV.
Mac can work with Mac formats (HFS), and Windows formats (FAT and NTFS), but NTFS will be only read only.
So your TV set, read NTFS but perhaps not FAT?, and your mac cannot write NTFS.
In order to write to NTFS devices, you must install one and only ONE of this comercial software:
Tuxera or Paragon

Need network controller driver.

I need a network controller driver for my laptop as the wifi is not working at the moment. The only thing with a yellow exlimation mark in the device manager under other devices tab is the network controller. the hardware id's are as follow:PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&SUBSYS_064211AD&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&SUBSYS_064211AD
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&CC_0280

The first both devices: Ethernet and Network controller are LAN and Wlan card.
If you want to know more details about these devices, I recommend you to check this Toshiba document:
[How to identify an unknown device |http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD0302U00000R01.htm]
In such case it should not be a big problem to get the right driver.

Need SM Bus Controller Driver for A75-S231

Unfortunately I am without my system and backup disks and I am in desperate need of a driver for the SM Bus Controller. Problem surfaced after re-install of XP Home.
I called Toshiba tech support to identify the motherboard chipset shipped with my unit (specs listed at end of post) so as to locate and download the driver. Unbelievably, Tech is not equipped to identify the make or model of my motherboard or identify the chipset. Third Party software tells me I have a Toshiba EDW10 Motherboard and tech searched the internet and told me I have some VIA motherboard and good luck finding your driver.
Please help, I didnt think that Toshiba of all people would be unable to identify their own systems but here I am 4 hours later bothering you good people and still hunting. Does anyone have the SM Bus controller driver for the A75-S231 or tell me what chipset was shipped with my unknown motherboard?

Thanks fo your help.

Hi
As far as I know your unit must be an US notebook model and please try to check Toshiba US download page under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
Please dont be mad on tech support but I dont see any reason why they should know every technical detail of your notebook. Toshiba has designed drivers for every hardware component that you can have anytime you want and install it 1000 times if you want. Toshiba guarantee that it will work properly and I dont see any problem there.
Technical details you can get from Authorized service partners in your country.
Good luck!

Portege R100 - Network Controller Driver

I've just installed windows7 business version on this laptop and I've got a Code 28 message in the Device Manager/Network Controller/General/Device Status window.
It can't find an appropriate driver.
I'll obviously need to instal via a CD or floppy as I can't currently access the network or the internet via that laptop.
But can someone give me the url of an appropriate driver.
Thanks
Rob

Hi
I think it could be a little bit difficult to find an Ethernet controller driver for Portege R100. The point is that this pretty old notebook supports only up to Windows XP according the Toshiba European driver download page.
So you have to search on external websites for drivers. The most Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7 so you should look for Vista drivers.
What Ethernet controller you have?
If its a Realtek for example, you can search on the Realtek website: [www.realtek.com]
Or e. g. Intel => [www.intel.com]

Probems with msi 875p neo Fis2r and network controller driver

Hi guys just wondering if anyone could help me with my msi 875p neo FIS2R and problems with the network controller driver/network card.
I'm running xp on a computer my nextdoor neighbour gave me. I got it working fine with service pack 3 installed but then installed a bunch of windows updates last night and the computer would switch itself off before windows could start. Now I reinstalled xp and unfortunately it does not recognise the network controller/card at all now. I tried installing the intel network controller drivers but it stopped because it said no intel adapter/card was installed/present. Could anyone please help with suggestions? I tried running everest and under newtwork it doesnt list intel network adapters but I'm pretty certain it is. Again any suggestions?

Clear CMOS with your PSU unplugged from A/C power. Then load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS and retest.
thanks jimi... jack
will try that and post later if it worked... ive never cleared cmos, this sort of thing is relatively new to me but thanks again

Photosmart B8550 driver for Maverick NOT AVAILABLE

Photosmart B8550 driver for Maverick NOT AVAILABLE.
The website should say that it has it, or it doesn't! So ambiguious...
Call tech support and for a kindly $25 box we'll show a work around. I interpret that to be obsolesence. You are up to date or you are not. The refund of the money is more complicated to monitor than when the softweare patch would be available, at least 5 times more complicated. Wait for the bank statement to see if ther money was refunded, and than follow up for the refund, come ON!

Tomesh,
Problem is not so clear but I can say you can try these things.
1. Are you trying to do retroactive calculation for particular employee . If yes, then check the driver perk wage type validity period.
2. If you are using some constant table to calculate Driver's perk value then you must check that contact table and dates mentioned there.
