Re: Satellite P100-160 - Display driver installation failed

Satellite P100-160, PSPAAE, vista 32 bit,
Today Aero wasn't working and not available in graphics properties. Installed latest display driver from Toshiba UK site, Intel 15.0.1.1114. This version was actually older than my current driver but I thought that maybe as it was the only one availabel that it must be correct.
The driver install failed with an error (no details just 'an error has occurred'). Now I have no aero and my display resolution cant be set above 1280x800 - should be 1440x900
To say I am pisseed would be an understatement. Can anyone help? thanks

Hey,
If Aero is not available I dont think its display driver problem
Anyway, have you removed the old display driver before you installed the new one? Go to device manager > right click on graphic card > uninstall. After reboot the display driver should be uninstalled and you can start with display driver installation.
If you install drivers make sure you are logged in as Administrator and antivirus/firewall is disabled. Restart once again and you should be able to choose the native screen resolution now.
Check this!!!

Windows 8 Upgrade on Satellite P100-160 - No Sound

Hello everyone.
I own a Satellite P100-160 {http://www.toshiba.co.uk/discontinued-products/satellite-p100-160/}
I decided to upgrade the machine from Windows Vista to Windows 8.
The machine works o.k. apart from the fact there is no longer any sound.
It seems that windows 8 does not have the correct sound drivers.
Can anyone help me out with a solution?
The laptop is in good working order, and apart from no sound.
Thanks
colesdav.

Hello, thanks for your replies so far.
Just in case anyone else out there has tried to move to Windows 8 on an older laptop I will tell you
What I have tried that did NOT work.

None of the above suggestions / drivers worked.
The drivers all did install but ... no sound from the Laptop.
I accept this is an old laptop but it is in mint condition.
Here is my solution to date.
I bought a Sound Blaster X-fi Go! Pro external USB Sound card from Maplin U.K. yesterday.
It works and the sound quality is great!
I am currently using an external speaker ... but I may try to install the USB sound card inside the
Laptop and see if I can rewire the speakers ...
Here is a link to the USB Card.

By the way I have managed to upgrade 3 of my 4 laptops from Windows Vista /7 to Windows 8.
Here is what worked with comments.
Toshiba Satellite P100-160 - Vista to Windows 8. Only problem = No sound Driver.
Toshiba Satellite L300D - Vista -> Windows 7 - Windows 8. No problems at all.
HP G62 - Windows 7 -> Windows 8. No problems seen yet.
The only machine I cannot upgrade is an HP Envy 15-1060ea due to notebook specific ATI Radeon 4830 Driver.
Thanks

Display driver Niveda failing

I have a Sattelite A665s6093 1 year old and keep getting a black screen then recovering and giving me this message "display driver Niveda failed and has recovered". This has happened at least a dozen times over the last fewmonths and I imagine it is only a matter of time before it does not recover. Any suggestions for a fix???

Hello Patriotsrock01,
Sounds like your video card driver is failing. If the issue started happening within the past few weeks something may have triggered the problem.
The first thing we can do is try uninstalling the video card driver and re-installing a new driver to see if it continues to crash. You can find the original drivers here.
http://goo.gl/bW4ug
What you will want to do is follow these steps
1. Download the drivers and save them to your computer (someplace you can find them such as your desktop)
2. Click on the Start Orb
3. Right click on Computer and select properties
4. Navigate to device Manager
5. Expand your display adapter section
6. Right click on the driver listed and uninstall
At this point your computer screen is going to go blank and we need to restart your computer
7. Tap the start button your keyboard
8. Press the right arrow twice
9. Press the letter R
At this point the computer is going to reboot. When it reboots Windows will install a basic video card driver. At this point we want to reinstall the ATI driver from your desktop. Double click on the .exe file and run the installer and follow any on screen instructions.
Post back your results

Satellite P100-160 - Keyboard fault

I have a Satellite P100-160 which was working fine but has gradually become unreliable. Initially I blamed PKZIP v9 since it was the last thing installed before the system started to go downhill so I uninstalled it. But alas it was not to blame. It looks now like a h/w fault. I have a couple of problems related to this.
When the keyboard locks up it is stone dead. Nothing. No keys at all work. Not even the CapsLock, NumLock or power On/Off button (you can hold it down forever). Typically after a failure I have to close the system down using the mouse, but at the last gasp the mouse pointer also freezes and then I have to let the battery run right down to regain control (wasting a couple of hours). I am reluctant to switch off by removing the battery.
Is there a system reset button hiding somewhere? Or somewhere to prod it with a sharp stick?
The problem is clearly getting worse. BIOS reports no faults. After a full power down by running out of battery it usually restarts OK with the usual warnings and will run for a while before the keyboard locks out again. But this last time the keyboard was stone dead from the very instant of bootup. I could not move the cursor on the SAFE mode boot screen. So after the timeout period it tried to boot Vista. This got as far as having a very faint "(c) Microsoft Corporation" visible in the lower middle of an otherwise black screen and stopped. It is currently sat waiting for the battery to go flat again.
Ideally I would like a few suggestions on other tricks to try and especially on a quicker way of regaining control when the thing goes belly up that is faster than leaving it running until battery failure. I can keep it low on battery but it is getting really frustrating since the thing will usually work for just long enough to recharge its battery and then die horribly losing all keyboard input again. System diagnostics find nothing wrong up to the time it stops working. There doesn't appear to be a standard external old PS2 keyboard connector on it.
You can still run programs when the keyboard is dead in the water provided you don't want to type in any text. And the PC is visible across the network - except in the most recent incident where it didn't get as far as starting Vista properly. And may never do so again unless I can plug a working keyboard into it.
I couldn't spot anyone with similar problems in these forums, but would be grateful for any tips on what else to try. I would particularly like suggestions to make fault finding a bit quicker now that the fault is recurrent. It is under warrantee but it would be inconvenient to be without it for any length of time.
Regards,
Martin Brown

It is a strange sort of lockout. I don't have a USB keyboard, but I have a hunch that if I connected one it would work. I may get a chance to try this next weekend.
I have established that I can still type stuff if rather tediously by using cut & paste from the CharacterMap utility. This is actually useful since it allows work in progress to be manually "saved as" new filename shortly after the keyboard latches up and dies. It just failed again :(
It is very annoying that the power off button is also deactivated by this failure mode.
I don't really want to go right back to factory settings and then have to bring it back up to spec again if I can avoid it. I strongly suspect it is hardware related. Although similar but not identical problems have been reported with some older Toshiba BIOSs & Vista and this one is a PSPAAE with BIOS v3.80 where as the latest version for AAE on offer is v4.30-WIN. It is with great trepidation I am considering applying the BIOS upgrade. It could easily be a Vista vs Toshiba power management issue. Failures do seem to be correlated with me taking a tea break (so that the suspend/powersave/screensaver are invoked).
The Toshiba manuals refer indirectly to there being a reset button you can press with the point of a biro, but there is no illustration of where the reset button if it exists has been cunningly hidden. This would be preferable to waiting for its battery to run down after each failure. Any ideas where it is hidden please?

Martin Brown

Satellite P100-160 - System does not boot

Hi all,
i was hoping someone may be able to help me out with a problem i have with my Satellite P100-160.
I was using it the other night without power connected when my battery ran out and it shut down.
When i re-connected the power and switched it on i got the usual message asking if i wanted to re-start as normal which i did.
Upon doing this i got the icon in the bottom right corner telling me the system was looking to install a new driver for mass storage device.
It could not find it and i have not added or taken anything away from my system.
When i shut it down and went to re-start it next time i got a message on boot screen along the lines of:
error
resource conflict - pci serial bus controller on motherboard bus: 0A, device: 04, Function :01
error
resource conflict - pci mass storage controller on motherboard bus:0A, device 04, function 02
error
resource conflict - pci on motherboard bus: 0a, device: 04, function 03
press F1 to resume F2 to setup
i can get into setup but when i resume the system just hangs and all hard drive activity stops. i have managed to get it to boot successfully once but no more, cant get into safe mode or anything. when i took it to my local computer shop the guy there looked at the error and said it is broken, the motherboard has gone and there is nothing i can do with it. im quite disappointed as the laptop is only 2 years old and i would have thought it would last longer than that.
So my question s are is the guy right, is it broken or is there something that can be done with it? if it is broken can i access the contents of my hard drive with another laptop (the shop guy said something about using a hard drive caddy and using it as an external hard drive??
thanks in advance for any advice
D

Well it would certainly seem my laptop is a gonna, plenty of views but no solution. Must say from
browsing this forum Toshiba laptops definitely have their fair share of problems, mine suffered from
the broken cover mentioned in another thread but i did not think it was such a widespread problem. It has certainly put me off opting for a Toshiba as my replacement.

SoundBlaster X-Fi Driver Installation Fails After Moving Soundcard to New Slot

NSoundBlaster X-Fi Driver Installation Fails After Moving Soundcard to New Slot4 I recently moved my X-Fi Elite Pro soundcard to a different PCI slot to accommodate my new large PCIE graphics card.
Prior to moving the card, my?original SoundBlaster install went fine without any trouble. When I booted up after relocating the card,?it was not detected at all. So I uninstalled my SoundBlaster driver software and?rebooted the computer?thinking that was necessary to clear any hardware configuration settings from the old install. This made no difference. I then discovered my card was not seated properly and corrected it.
Next I installed the SoundBlaster driver software. The installation proceeded and finished with a request to restart the computer. Once I did, the computer detects my card and starts the hardware installation wizard asking if I want Windows to search online for driver software. It does not recognize the just installed SoundBlaster driver installation. I have a dual boot setup and this happens in both WinXP Pro and Vista 32 Home Premium.
What's wrong here?

Forget it folks...couldn't wait for any suggestions so I just cleaned off my hard dri've and reinstalled everything. Works fine.

Satellite P100-160 BT Icon appears in Control Panel, but no BT

Hello,
I have a Satellite P100-160. I am very confused as to whether I have BT or not.
*Reasons I thought I had BT:*
I originally thought I did have it, because in "Control Panel", there is a Bluetooth Icon, which when I press it opens up the "Bluetooth Devices" box. I also use Wi-Fi internet which I thought was a sign that BT was installed and working. I also notice that in "Services" there's something called "Toshiba Bluetooth Service" running.
*Reasons I now think I don't have BT:*
However, when I press Control Panel > Bluetooth Devices > Bluetooth Settings, nothing happens. It's like the button is dead. And when I try to "Add a BT device", it can't find any devices. Also, there is no BT listed in Device Manager.
Overall, I'm very confused! I bought Wireless Speakers yesterday having seen the BT icon in Control Panel (I'd read that if that icon was there I had BT), but having struggled for hours trying to get BT to work yesterday I've come to the conclusion that I don't have BT at all!!
Could someone explain what the Bluetooth Icon in Control Panel means? Why is it there if I don't have BT? Or, does the icon mean I do have BT but am doing something else wrong??
Many thanks in advance! Very frustrated!
David.

Hi DJH_1,
Different notebooks have different hardware parts. This would explain why Bluetooth software is preinstalled, probably other P100 models have Bluetooth but the P100-160 does NOT have Bluetooth.
BT software is installed but not BT hardware so you cant use BT.
Its no mistake by Toshiba. Just check the specifications of your notebook and then you see what features your notebook has or not. ;)

Multiple USB Device Driver Installations Failing

Windows 7 64 Bit / MSI P965 Platinum Mother Board
I have three USB driver installations failing. I believe this is related to ' USB', because installations of other software unrelated to USB devices install just fine. Might it be a Windows Installer Service, appears to be running fine?
Failing Device Driver Installations;
1) IOGEAR USB 3 PCIe card
Problem: The installer runs part way through the "Preparing to install' process and goes into limbo. I have tried three USB cards by different manufacturers and get the same problem. Tried several Renesas installers, all failed.
Microsoft Windows Installer says: 'Stopped working. Files that help describe the problem: AppCompat.txt, WERInternalMetadata.xml, WERDataCollection failure'.
2) APC Battery Backup 'PowerChute' Software
Problem: : The installer runs part way through the "Preparing to install' process and goes into limbo -or- I get an error message telling me to check the USB connection. APC cable is pulgged into a native port, not a hub. APC has no solution.
3) Logitech Harmony One Remote Software (Finally installed in 'Safe' Mode
Error: : The installer runs part way through the "Preparing to install' process and goes into limbo, but, when I went into 'Safe Mode' the software installed properly. Installation of the other two examples yield the Windows 'can't be installed in safe mode'
Help Appreciated - IM

To rule out a Windows problem, have you tested with a fresh parallel installation?

I can't install display driver.
I got the message:
+This computer does not meet minimum requierements for instaling the software+
+setup will exit+

Hi
Where did you download the display driver?
Normally if you download the drivers on the Toshiba website they are working properly because they are pretested from Toshiba.
I assume you have downloaded a driver for another model or chipset so check the Toshiba page:

R5850 Display Driver Install Fails

Hello.
I have a problem installing MSI's official drivers for my R5850-OC. When I first received the card, the official drivers installed fine. Also, upgrading to the newest MSI official drivers worked fine. However, if I ever wanted to remove the drivers to roll back or w/e, I get a BSOD in the middle of Catalyst Install Manager uninstalling.
Now, If I want to install any of the official MSI drivers, I get a warning that the ATI Display Driver fails to install. However, it appears I can install any of the ATI/AMD drivers just fine. I'm currently using Catalyst 10.12.
The reason why I want to fix this, is because I currently have a HDMI Audio problem with the card and Media Center and wanted to try different drivers.
Thanks for your help,
~Mason
P.S. I seem to remember encountering a problem installing the Official drivers long ago, but fixed it by manually installing the display driver via device manager, and using catalyst for everything else.

OK, install a program called Unlocker >>http://filehippo.com/download_unlocker/<<. Then, try removing anything ATi with DriverSweeper in safe mode. Don't restart. Run DriverSweeper again, but analyze only. Find the left over driver(s) location and right click on them to run unlocker and delete them. This may or may not blue screen you, so don't be surprised if it does. Restart. Run a registry cleaner to get rid of any extra stuff and then try installing the MSI drivers.
If you're still experiencing audio issues, try checking the HDMI cable itself (I'm assuming you're using that). Make sure there is no exposed wire or excessive bending. Also, check the physical connection on the card so that nothing is loose or missing.

Satellite T130-02F - Display Driver Error

Hi There,
I just purchased the Satellite T130-02F and after choosing 32bit running system I had the power connected to charge battery up and then started to get "display driver errors" where the screen would flash black and then flash back on. I've checked device manager and driver details, the drive is upto date and as far as I can see is the correct driver. I've searched sites to see if there ar other drivers out there, but its up to date.
I haven't installed anything extra on the computer yet and find I get the error more regularly on the battery rather than power which concerns me. The computer is less than 24hrs old.
Any advice?
Mobile Intel (R) display chip set.
Windows 7 installed 32bit.

Hi
In your case I would try reinstalling the display driver. You can find the latest version on the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
After this make sure that the newest BIOS version is installed. You can download it on the Toshiba website too.
If nothing works your only chance is an authorized service provider. It seems to be a hardware problem and must be checked from professional people.

Re: Satellite U500-PSU9ME - display driver stopped responding

Since I purchased the laptop I had a problem with the display driver.
The screen keeps blackout and comes back after a second with the massage display driver stopped responding and has recovered, I wish I can attach a screenshot. The laptop have nVidia card on it.
The dealer replaced it for me but even with the new one, it comes each day once or twice
This is my 1st Toshiba, I always heard they are good but now I am kind of confused!
Anyone had this problem and could solve it? Please help.
Note: i updated all drivers.

Why not? Driver stops responding only when cpu cooler runs on minimal rpm, seems to me, that fan rpm basically depend on cpu heat (_not_ gpu).
Very good solution, but I have a question: would you buy a server that works only when you disable lan card? would you buy a car which can turn only left?
No matter. Never the less, I'm satisfied with how the Intel i3 and Nvidia 310m works.
The thing i DO NOT like and which concerns manufacturer directly is keyboard. I don't know who designed flat buttons, but it's the worst keyboard I seen EVER. You can realize my disappointment, changing eeepc to u500 expecting better and getting THIS. They could at least have upgrade for keyboard replacement, the part that cost $50 spoils $1100, wonderful...
:( I imagined my fist toshiba as much happier thing...
