Re: Satellite Z30-A with Win 8.1 - Driver update confusion

Hello,
I have a question regarding driver updates. Currently, Windows Update recommends me to update the audio driver (important) and the LAN driver (optional). Toshiba Service Station, however, doesnt offer new drivers for these devices.
My question is whether I should install these updates (particularly the important one) or if they are not approved by Toshiba yet?
Moreover, does anyone have a changelog for the new 3.8 Bios?
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick replies! I was just tempted because one of the updates was classified as "important", for whatever reason, which are normally those updates that should be installed (e.g. for security reasons). In fact you are right, I dont have any problems with my laptop.
Sorry, forgot to state the model: Z30-A with Win 8.1
Any ideas about the bios update?
Thanks!

  • Satellite A200-1vp with Vista - CD/DVD drive failure code 39

    Hi,
    I have been burning and watching DVDs on my Satellite A200-1vp, with vista, since February, the last time I burned anything was a couple of weeks ago.
    Suddenly there's a problem, no response when I load a disc and my divx player tells me no recorder found.
    When I search in the device manager I get the message " windows cannot load the driver for this hardware" (code 39) " driver is corrupted or missing".
    I tried uninstalling it and using the Toshiba upper/lower limit filter repair tool but on restart it still failed to install.
    Should i try the Toshiba Recovery Disc and loose a lot of unbacked up programs/files, as last resort?
    Would that work?
    Anybody got any ideas?

    Here is an interesting Microsoft knowledge article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us
    You should firstly access the device manager and should remove the CD/DVD drive from the device list.
    Then should access the registry and should remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Reboot the notebook and check if the CD/DVD drive would work again!

  • Problem with Latest Epson Printer Driver Update

    I installed the Epson printer driver update that came out today, but it made absolutely no difference. My Epson printer is still using a the same old Epson driver plus Gutenprint. There is no other option. I don't get it. What's the point of installing the update if the printer is still stuck with Gutenprint? My printer (Epson Stylus Photo R340) is supported according to Apple's list.

    Thanks for that tip, John. I found the "Epson SP R340 series" driver by searching for it as you suggested.
    Happy to help Alan.
    HOWEVER, I cannot print with this driver. I get the following error message when I try to print:
    Error: Library/Printers/EPSON/InketPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/MacOS/r astertoescpll failed
    This seems common with the Epson drivers, there are several posts here with that problem. Some users have had success deleting the printer from Print & Fax Prefs and adding it again using the Epson (non-Gutenprint) driver. Others have had to delete the <hard drive>/Library/Printers/EPSON and /Library/Caches/Epson folders, re-download the update, then re-add the printer.
    I would try the first one first since it's the easiest and you already have the update installed. If that doesn't work, the second should.
    Hope this helps.

  • 8330 alltel curve won't sync with PocketMac, even after driver update

    Sooo I have a blackberry curve 8330 I recently got through Alltel. I
    installed PocketMac twice now, and was reading all about the FAQ's and
    tech. support and it's not recognizing my blackberry. I tried syncing
    and it said the "error 1: skipping" thing. I also downloaded the
    "driver update" and it's still doing the same thing. It shows my phones
    like charging when it's plugged in but I can't sync it. This is my
    first blackberry and I'm confused.
    Can someone help me, please?
    And, does anyone know what "Enterprise Activation" is?
    Thanks
    EDIT: sorted out the formatting

    I also had problems syncing my 8330 Blackberry with my Mac with a program called PocketMac and after installing and reinstalling the program several times and syncing for hours on end (the program was just sitting their), I also spent $49.95 for PocketMac Tech Support. Still no results. I did a little more research and I found a program that I thought was easy to install as long as you follow the simple instructions and it worked great, the program is The Missing Sync for Blackberry Version 2.0.1. it cost $39.95 it is available at www.markspace.com. 

  • Satellite P845T-107 with Win 8 PRO but after Win 8.1 update it isn't PRO

    Yesterday at Saturn Salzburg bought the notebook.
    It has on the bottom a PRO Windows 8 label.
    Unfortunately, I first initiated the update to 8.1 and then only a backup created on a USB stick.
    Windows has muddled up the the Pro version after Win 8.1 update.
    Can not join domain, as I expect from a PRO version actually.
    How do I get the original Pro version again?
    The label does so, that there must have been a Pro license.
    How do I get the licenses number?
    I'm A bit sour ... how Toshiba is helping me?

    Hi
    Regarding to the Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page, the notebook was preinstalled with Windows 8 64bit.
    [Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page|http://www.toshiba.de/discontinued-products/satellite-p845t-107/]
    It was not Pro version.
    You can also check all the details about this notebook on the Toshiba Unit Details

    I will need to put the serial number to get the information.

  • Satellite C50-B with Win 8.1 - PXE error appeares using UEFI boot mode

    I have a C50-b laptop running Win 8.1 and recently needed to boot it from a usb key so eventually found the way to do that (miss the bios first boot menu) and managed to do that.
    My problem is even when I have returned to uefi and set the boot order to be local disk, cd, network it asks everytime do I want to boot for PXE IP4,IP6 then IP4 and IP6 again. I have also disabled secure boot
    I think some value is missing when I switched to BIOS and back to UETI boot option but where is the laptop getting the setting to tell it to PXE/Network boot when its down the list and wake on LAN is disabled.

    According to the automated support on the site I should do the following for Win 8
    Switch on the notebook and immediately begin tapping the F2 key continuously.
    When the system setup (BIOS) appears, stop tapping F2. Tap F9 once, select 'Yes', and press Enter.
    Use the cursor keys to move to the Advanced menu.
    Choose System Configuration and press Enter.
    Ensure that Boot Mode is set to UEFI Boot.
    Press Escape to return to the Advanced menu and choose the Security menu.
    Set Secure Boot to Enabled.
    Press F10 once, select 'Yes', and press Enter.

  • Satellite U920T-100: NFC Win 8.1 driver doesn't load

    Hi,
    as I know the 920T -100 has NFC possibilities ... but I can't install the drivers from support page.
    While trying, the allow change pops up, yes and then nothing happens.
    I have unpacked the package with 7zip and started the setup, it is checking the system and its all ok and it ends with a warning there was a script fault.
    I have tried to find the Intel NFC Software Kit, but cant find.
    Any help for me?
    Regards Heinz

    >I have a PSUL1E and it is offering the NFC Driver for download at Toshiba Pages
    The Satellite U920T-100 (PSUL1E-00500NGR released in Germany) as well as the U920T-117 (PSUL1E-02900JEN) belongs to the same series PSUL1E and therefore you can find the NFC driver in the driver list. But this does not mean that all notebooks which belongs to PSUL1E are equipped with NFC chip.
    > For my understanding it is integrated in the Intel Pro Chip
    No, both notebook models U920T-100 and U920T-117 support the same Intel WLan card (Intel bgn Jackson Peak1 chip) but only U920T-117 supports NFC
    In case your Sat U920T-100 would be equipped with NFC, you should find the device in device managerbut I guess you cant

  • [Solved] Starcraft 2 crashe with wine bunblebee nvidia driver

    After the upgrade of yesterday (2013/05/12) my starcraft II (under wine) crashes.
    After a downgrade of the nvidia driver ( and linux kernel ) my SCII is running once again perfectly, so I guess there is something wrong between the new nvidia driver (319.17-2) and the following package : bumblebee (3.2.1-1), wine (1.5.30-2) .
    I'm a little buzzy actually and didn't take time to check deeply why, but if someone wants some data just ask

    Edit: the package bunmblebee has been updated and solves the problem. Thanks.

  • Satellite Pro A100 (PSAAPE) Win XP Modem Driver

    I have rebuilt an A100 (PSAAPE) recently with Windows XP (SP2) and after downloading all of the drivers from the Toshiba downloads site I have installed everything OK apart from the internal modem.
    When I run the setup it appears to install OK but when I check device manager there is still a PCI device that needs installing and it's definitely the modem as there is no modems currently installed. Please can someone let me know how I can install the modem in this laptop as I have tried everything I can think off.
    Thanks
    Martin.

    I called Toshiba yesterday and that's exactly what they suggested, I was a bit sceptical about it but
    after going through the list including a large number of hotfixes! I came to the audio drivers install
    and after installing the software and rebooting, the system detected an audio modem and then installed
    the modem drivers as well!!! so I was able to resolve the issue but it did take a while to install
    everything!!
    Thanks

  • Satellite L350-16X: Need Win XP graphic driver

    I have remove windows Vista and I have installed windows XP Pro on my laptop.
    My display does not run properly...
    I need drivers for display for xp but Intel download site provide to me only incorrect version of drivers.
    Can you provide me the correct drivers for Toshiba?....
    plz help me
    I look forward for your reply

    To be honest I wonder why you have posted this question.
    I mean all the Toshiba XP drivers for this Satellite L350 PSLD8E are published on the Toshiba European driver page.
    Also the Intel driver is available.
    So to be honest your question is not understandable for me!

  • Satellite P10-554 nvidia geforce fx go5600 driver update

    Hi all,
    I just tried to update to very last nvidia driver version 78.01. Running the setup I got an error message indicating that the setup routine couldn't find a driver that is compatible with the hardware installed. According to the doc the new update supports the harware installed.
    Does someone why I can't update to most recent version?
    Thanks in advance
    Karl
    BTW: I already uninstalled the current driver, rebooted the machine and tried to install the new version without success.

    Hi Juan, hi R2D2
    thanks for your answers. I found the driver on the german site as well as on the english one:
    http://www.nvidia.de/object/winxp_2k_78.01_de.html
    http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/winxp_2k_78.01.html
    If you follow the link "Products Supported" on this page a list of the supported products is being displayed (I just noticed that the card supported is GeForce FX 5600 and not GeForce FX Go5600). May that's the reason.
    The last driver on the Toshiba site is 4.4.8.5.
    Since weeks I'm trying to pinpoint a problem that the turns off due to the settings of the power management. But I can't reactivate the display when moving the mouse or pressing the keyboard. So I try to find out if it's a software or a hardware issue, but without success so far.
    Best regards

  • Problems with June-Aug 2010 Driver update, dell 740

    Hey everyone,
    We have been experiencing problems imaging dell 740 in the last two releases. For June, after the kernel is loaded the screen goes black. This happens before we can hit escape to see where it's freezing.
    For August, upon bootup i get the error "Boot Loader: Not enough memory to load specified Kernel". Older updates work ok and aug does seem to work with other models.
    Has anyone came across this?

    We had the same problem, and solved it by adding parameter mem=512M in the config file z_maint.cfg, located at /srv/tftp. like this
    'append 5 initrd=boot\initrd mode=5 rootimage=/root install=tftp://$PXESERVER/boot splash=silent vga=normal mem=512M tftptimeout=50 $KERNEL_PARMS'

  • SatellIte A100-220 - ATI Radeon Xpress 200M Driver update

    Hello
    I have a laptop Toshiba SatellIte A100-220 and I can not find the latest driver for Ati Radeon Xpress 200M, could you help me?
    Advance I thank.

    Which operating system do you use?
    I presume that you know that you should use drivers from Toshiba support page. Have you already checked latest version there?

  • Satellite Pro L300: x3100 and Intel 965 chipset graphics driver update

    Has anyone else installed the Intel 7.15.10.1666 driver, dated 26/02/2009 for the Mobile 965 chipset? Here's their web page for getting to the download:
    http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/
    For some reason unknown to me, Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 doesn't work with the Intel auto driver update (the download with the exe file). Therefore I followed their instructions for a manual install (the download with the zip file).
    My laptop is working just fine with this new driver, and there is a definite improvement in the transitions between images when using the Windows presentation option (slideshow).
    This new driver also installs 3 graphics programs from Intel:
    Hotkeys for display management
    System tray access
    TV wizard
    I used Windows Defender to remove these 3 from programs that automatically load at system startup to keep a fast boot time and not load unnecessary programs into memory. This hasn't caused me any problems.
    Why hasn't Toshiba added this to the driver downloads page?

    Hi
    Thanks for this info mate...
    > Why hasn't Toshiba added this to the driver downloads page?
    Who knows maybe it has not been checked, approved and tested by Toshiba?
    As far as I know every notebook manufacturers test and approve the drivers before they will be released on the driver pages
    Maybe it has not been approved...
    However, its good news that this driver is working properly.
    I will check it too on my notebook.
    Cheers

  • Satellite L505-10z - Win 7 tools are not compatible with Win 8

    My laptop is Satellite L505-10z. I installed Windows 8 Pro and I notice that lots of drivers (especially TVAP) I downloaded from Toshiba support website (which are originally for Windows 7) not working! When will Toshiba release Windows 8 drivers? Will my model be included in the driver updates?
    Thanks

    > downloaded from Toshiba support website (which are originally for Windows 7) not working!
    Win 7 tools and utilities are made for Win 7 and not Win 8
    > When will Toshiba release Windows 8 drivers? Will my model be included in the driver updates?
    I think you should ask Toshiba. This is user to user community.
    But I think Toshiba would start with driver support if Win 8 would be available OFFICIALLY on the market.
