Satellite A30: What important drivers should I install

Hi, My Satellite A30 PSA30E had a major crash a while ago, now I have to reinstall everything but I lost my boot disc, I got an XP disc and I kno I have to install the drivers afterwards. I was just wondering what ones are the most important and if I need to install them in any specific order.
Thanks in advance

Hi
If you want to use all notebook features you should install all available XP drivers from the Toshiba driver page.
You ask for the most important drivers? Well, you should install
- Chip Set Utility
- Display Driver
- Sound Driver
- LAN Driver
- Wireless Lan Driver
- Cardbus Driver
- Touch Pad Driver
- Modem Driver
Other utilities like Toshiba Console or E-Key are needed to use the notebooks features but you the unit will run also without these programs

I have a macbook pro what virus protection should i install?

I have a macbook pro, what virus protection should I install?

1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't actually been tested by Apple (unless it comes from the Mac App Store), but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe.
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could find some other way to evade Apple's controls.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is presumably effective against known attacks, but maybe not against unknown attacks. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. Beyond XProtect, Gatekeeper, and MRT, there’s no evidence of any benefit from other automated protection against malware. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source. How do you know whether a source is trustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
ClamXav may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use ClamXav unless a network administrator requires you to run an anti-virus application.
9. The greatest harm done by security software, in my opinion, is in its effect on human behavior. It does little or nothing to protect people from emerging threats, but if they get a false sense of security from it, they may feel free to do things that expose them to higher risk. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
10. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.

Satellite A30 latest XP Drivers - found on Toshiba Canada Site

RE: Toshiba Satellite A30 XP Drivers
After several days of trying all the drivers on the Tosh Europe site and getting errors, I found the latest A30 Satellite drivers for XP on the Tosh Canada site.
http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/files_downloads/index/Satellite/sa33en.htm

I am absolutely disgusted by the lack of support for the A30 on this website. The drivers here don't work at all, and won't even install on my machine - Toshiba need to do something about this ASAP. Don't know what to do anymore...
My machine is a UK machine, however, I have to use the Canadian drivers, because the European drivers don't work at all. I have Windows XP SP2...
Anyway - After using the Canada drivers, I have managed to get most things to work - however, my PCMCIA slot still doesn't work - I need the right drivers Toshiba(!)
After ringing Toshiba's technical support number, they were of NO use whatsoever - All they said was to send the machine off to a Toshiba service centre(!!).
I am very computer literate and build computer systems as a hobby - I am not some idiot who doesn't know what they are doing. The problem is a software problem NOT a hardware problem. There is nothing wrong with the laptop - just the drivers. The least they could do is list a set of drivers for their product that actually work(!)
PLEASE - I am going insane...

I just got a windows 7 64 bit laptop. I have a T3 Palm. What desktop version should I install?

I just got a win.7- 64 bit laptop. I have a T3 Palm. What version of Palm desktop should I install on my new laptop? I know there is a program written by Dimitry to be able to use a 64 bit machine. Can anyone tell me which desktop version to use? Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
imanewbie
Post relates to: Pre Plus p100una (AT&T)

The lastest version is 6.2, you should be able to find it for download if you do a google search, you will also need to 64 bit drivers you can get them here: http://aceeca.com/index.php?option=com_maqmahelpdesk&Itemid=5&id_workgroup=1&task=downloads_category...
They are for 64 bit garnet which is Palm OS

Qlogic what firmware version should be installed

I'm having trouble with a couple of new qlogic 5600 switches (the switch wants to assign my clients as target and not initiators). which firmware version should be installed on the switches? i'm having quite a lot of trouble with this upgrade and any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks

thanks for your reply Donald. I did manage to get the FC switch and hba cards working properly. I was aware of the device scan and streamgard settings on the switch, but the feedback i was getting from the switch was worrisome (some targets were listed as initiators on the switch and vicaversa). What solved the problem for me was to load the latest qlogic firmware 7.0.1...(i think), and it started giving the correct devices on each port. The new firmware also allowed me to log on to the switch through a web browser on my mac and not the antiquated "San Surfer" java app that came with the switches. I also had to set my hba to point-to-point and not automatic. I also set my arrays to point to point as well. I have 2 xserve RAIDs and a new promise array all set for "point-to-point". The old emulex switch we were using before was much nicer to work with than the qLogic switches that I just installed, and I found myself longing for the simplicity of the setup on the emulex.
Everything is working great now...I'm getting very fast throughput (250mb/sec).
The only remaining grief is that everytime I quit the admin app and relaunch it, it won't reconnect with my mdc's and i have to delete the xsan admin preference in my admin/library/preferences/ folder to reattach the admin app and administer my san. any ideas?

Email address spoofing is very common. It is nearly 100% certain that your email address wound up on someone's Windows computer that has become a victim of any number of potential Outlook address book harvesting attacks.
If you have not done so already, update to OS X 10.7.4. Then, update your profile:
The OS X update alone has nothing to do with your email account. The reason I am suggesting this is that if you haven't updated to 10.7.4, you may not be aware of other recent software updates. Run Software Update.

Which drivers make problems?

Which Nvidia drivers should I install.

I have no idea what I should use for drivers:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce Go 6200/6400] (rev a1)
That's part if the output of lspci. What driver should I use?

Where possible you should minimize the files on your system which aren't under your package management software (pacman in this case).

@jwwolf, since this is the Newbie Corner, it'd be helpful to take the time to at least add a few words on the difference between nouveau and the nvidia drivers...
you should not make things up. in the case of nvidia pacman is nothing more than wrapper. In this specific case it actually limits nvidia original installer.
there is not such thing as "cleaner" system: this is linux so user is allowed to use distro specific packaging system or sources.
I agree with gnoonee. The good thing about using pacman to install anything, including the Nvidia driver is:
Someone else does the work.
Automatic updates.
Very very easy to uninstall it. If you want to try the open source driver, or, if you install an ATI video card, then it is very easy to change drivers.
No different than installing it the "Nvidia" way, which would be by downloading it from nvidia.com. If a package is not installed the way you want it to be, then I recommend making (or changing) the PKGBUILD file and making your own package. It's easy to do!
That's only my advice. Of course, it's your computer, and you can do whatever you want with it. But I've had too many Linux installations become "dirty" because I strayed too far from the package manager.

Satellite L500D: What Win7 version should I choose: 32bit or 64bit?

I have just purchased a Toshiba Satellite L500D and upon starting it up it asks in the product recovery menu to choose either Windows 7 32-bit version or Windows 7 64-bit version.
I am really not sure which option I should be selecting.
Can some please assist??

Hi
Its your choice which version you choose! ;)
But if you have 4GB or more RAM installed I would suggest choosing the 64bit version. Only this version can handle 4GB or more RAM.
If you dont have 4GB RAM you can choose the 32bit version. Some older applications are require 32bit OS.
Have fun with your new notebook! :)

SATELLITE A30 ERROR!!! AFTER INSTALL RECOVERY DISCS

I THEN PRESS ESCAPE;; AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT NEEDS A FILE NUMBER ? NOW I REMOVE THE DISC ;I CAN ONLY BEGIN THE SAME PROCEEDURE AGAIN NOTHING ELSE WORKS ON PC.....
DISCS CAME WITH PC AND I HAVE USED THEM TWICE EASILY
LAPTOP CODE A30 (PSA30E)14MONTHS OLD WAS WORKING OK SOMETIMES SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO CLOSE BECAUSE GENERIC HOST HAD ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM ... RECOVERY DISCS DONT SEEM SCRATCHED CAN ANYONE HELP ?????????

Hi 6sixs
You probably have some problem with your discs or Optical drive. The best you can do now is try to find out where the problem resides.
The simplest (I think) way to do this is to take the second CD (the one that always produces the error messages) and copy the complete contents to a temporary folder on another machine. Why this? If the CD is defective you will probably see that also on that machine. It will probably stop with an error message saying it can't read the contents of the disc.
In that case you have defective Recovery CD's and need new ones.
If the copy-process works out fine, then probably you have a defective CD-drive in your notebook.
Good luck
Tom
