Satellite A300-1N8 - Need 64bit drivers

Hello, fellow "Toshibers".
I got a Satellite A300-1N8 two days ago and I've installed Windows Vista Ultimate x64 on it, but guess what - my graphics card and my network adapter (and several other things as well) would not start.
It is important to say that this notebook comes without any software (on external hardware (CD,...)) at all.
The exact statement for both devices' status given by the Device Manager is "The device cannot start. (Code 10)" and then they suggest I should check for solutions on Microsoft's site. Well, that sounds exactly like "The keyboard is not working. Press any key to continue." (Courtesy of Motorola in computer's dark ages).
Therefore I cannot use advanced graphic features for the moment or connect to the internet.
I have focused on the network adapter problem for the time being.
The adapter is Realtek RTL8101 Family PCI-E Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0). I updated the driver manually using the driver for Vista x64 provided at Realtek's website for the adapter but it is all the same.
Then it occurred to me that it is possible to be something with the motherboard drivers, but I did not find anything useful for a 64-bit version of Windows Vista.
Help me, please. I ran out of ideas.

Hi
Notebook supports the Realtek LAN card and the Mobile Intel GL40 Express Chipset (graphic card)
You can download the Vista 64bit drivers from the Realtek page and from Intel page.
The error code 10 means that the device (LAN card) cannot start or cannot be used because there is a compatibility issue between the device and driver.
In most cases a wrong driver has been used!
It could be also possible that some MS updates are needed to sort out this issue.
Check this MS knowledge base article:
+Description of Code 10-related errors that Device Manager generates on Windows XP-based computers+
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104/
There are some solution proposals.
But usually if you would use the right driver then the issue should be solved
Sorry but this is everything what I can say about this case

Satellite A300 Win XP 64bit drivers requested

Hello people,
I am trying to figure out if Toshiba has drivers for win xp 64 bit.There are drivers for xp but there isn't a discrimination like in Vista where you can get 32 or 64 bit drivers from the drop-down list.
Thanx for your answer in advance :)

Hi
Win XP 64bit drivers do not exist on the Toshiba pages
I doubt you will find it on any of Toshiba page you will need to search on 3rd party pages but this will be a hard venture because the Win XP 64bit was not so popular like 32bit OS.
But since the 4GB RAM issue which is related to 32bit OS limitation many people try the Win XP 64bit. But most manufactures dont develop the Win XP 64bit drivers in this time Win 7 is the future and king. You know.

Satellite A100 - Need 64bit drivers and tools for Windows 7

Hi,
I have W7 RTM from Technet, and I was install 64bit edition on my laptop "Satellite A100 (PSAA9)" I need 64bit drivers and 64bit utilities (Value Added Package,..) but I can not find them... 32bit Value Added package not work on 64bit (installation is rejected ) :/
Sorry, my english is very very bad
Thanks for any advice

Hello
I have checked the Toshiba website and there I cant find drivers and tools for 64bit OS. So I think Akuma is right you should 32bit OS on an old system like Satellite A100. The Toshiba website offers all drivers and tools for Vista 32bit and most of them should also work on Windows 7.
Alternative you can download the drivers and tools from another notebook model that is very similar to yours.
Just search a little bit. :)

Satellite P100-324: Need 64bit VISTA drivers

Hi. I have problem with finding drivers for 64bit VISTA for my lap (P100-324). On Toshiba drivers page, there are mostly Vista 32bit drivers, but no 64bit...
What drivers I found working:
chipset - from intel page
display - from laptop2go.com
Especialy, I have problems with Connexant audio and card reader driver.
Maybe you know what EXACTLY is inside this lap?
Best regards,
Jarek

Hi
The internet is a really a gossip factory. I found some statements that Toshiba plans to publish the Vista 64bit drivers. But thats all
We will see in the future what drivers and what notebook series will be supported

Satellite A300-1N8 on XP in AHCI - "iaStor" error and freezing

Hello guys,
A friend of mine has bought a new Toshiba A300-1N8 without OS a month ago.
I've installed Win XP Pro Sp3 and after 2 days of wondering how to enable the ACHI (because in compability mode it was hellish slow), I found how to do it and I made my XP with NLite and the extracted drivers from the Intel Matrix Storage Manager - ICH9M and reinstalled the windows in ACHI mode without any problems (because i still didnt know that there is way to install it without reistaling of windows)
I've installed all the drivers from the site and everything was fine till the moment we discovered that randomly the system stops responding and freezing... then the only way is restarting from the Power Button.
I found that in the Event Viewer (in the control panel - administrative tools) on the System information randomly appears an error:
{color:#ff0000}"The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor, did not respond within the timeout period". {color}
And the Iastor.sys actually was the system driver for the Intel AHCI controller, is it right?
So after that error apears - the the HDD lights permanently on and the system stopped responding after a few time or after trying to restart or turn off from windows start menu.
i found here
[http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1368385]
that the error may be can be fixed by changing the parameters in the LPM from 1 to 0.
I fixed it but the error still apears and the system crashes randomly :(
Any suggestions?

Exactly the same problem here on a Satellite L300.
I also made an ISO file with nlite and the F6 SATA driver disk.
The system freezes (in fact its the windows explorer or "My computer" that freezes) and the harddisk LED remains solid on. But the drive remains working if a program was having access to it. But it's not possible to start an explorer based program.
The freezes appear to be randomly, sometimes after many hours.
After reboot there appears to be an "iastor" time out in the Windows log files some time before the freeze.
No IDE settings available as there is no IDE drive in the XP hardware manager...
Only thing I could try right now is set the BIOS to compatibility mode and use a "normal" XP install disk without the sata drivers and see if that works better for me.

Satellite L30 (PSL30A) - Need new drivers for Windows 7

Hello I am trying to update my notebook from Windows XP to Windows 7 and need new drivers.
My machine specs
Satellite L30 (PSL30A-00100E)
1.6 Celeron M
2GB RAM
40gb disk space
ATI gfx card (Radeon 200m?)
Intel chipset
Realtek RTL8139/810x family network card
Realtek High Definition Audio Device
Only the gfx card, sound card and network card need new drivers
Hopefully I can do this

Thanks so much for the swift reply's :) I had Windows XPsp3 running very well on this old computer and was quite happy with it. I decided windows 7 being new I'd give it a go anyways, so I can go back if I have to. I am going to battle on though I think this is achievable. Found this thread on another website, I am giving this solution a go www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/35629-radeon-xpress-200m-problems.html as it sounds promising.
Thanks for your help...... next the soundcard......lol :)

Satellite A135-SP4088: Need XP drivers for power management and Hotkey utility

Hello
I couldn't find drivers for the toshiba A135-SP4088, we bought 3 of them for the office and it's almost impossible to use with vista, so we go to XP SP2, and manage to get almost all of the drivers from other models, but i cannot find 2 utilities that work with this machine, they are:
Toshiba Power Management (the bulb in the task bar, remember?) :D
Hotkey Utility (so I can change Screen brightness, and go to hibernation (Fn+F4)
I have al the rest working, quite nicely but these two are a real problem, none of the ones I tested worked, some even crash the XP and have to go back to a previous restore point.
also, I didn't install any ACPI drivers, are they required?, which ones show I look for? since the model doesn't exist in csd.toshiba.com site.
Now, How one of the greatest notebooks manufacturers in the world can build such a nice computer without making drivers for the most widely used operating system?, can anyone explain me this because i sincerely don't understand it.
thanks a lot!.
Indkt.

Hi
The Satellite A135-SP4088 seems to be designed for the US market so you should use the Toshiba US driver page for the driver download!!!!
But why you need the Toshiba power saver for XP? The XP supports an own power options and also the hibernation option. This option must be enabled in the control panel -> power options -> hibernate tab
> didn't install any ACPI drivers, are they required
Toshiba page does not provide any special ACPI drivers. The OS uses own Microsoft drivers and the installation of any 3rd applications is not necessary!!!!

Satellite X200-23G - Need some drivers for Windows 7

Hello buddy !!
In first place, I'm Brazilian and I have some dificulties to speak in engilsh.
Let's to go to the problem:
I had been installed Windows 7 Ultimate here in my Satellite X200-23g (PSPBUE), but, I'm not find some drivers. Are the drivers: Video Card, Biometric Coprocessor, PCI Memory and Storage Massive.
I hope that can someone helps me.
For now, thanks for everyone !!!

Hi buddy,
All drivers can be downloaded on the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
I have checked the page and it seems that for Windows 7 are no drivers available. I think its why Satellite X200 is pretty old.
But from my own experience I can say that the most Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7. You should check this too! ;)

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.

Satellite A305D-S6835 - Need some drivers for Windows 7 32bit

I installed Windows 7 (32-bit) on my machine, everything is recognized, except 2 devices! I do not know what could it be, because in "device manager" write "base system device"! I tried to update it from device manager, but I had not luck!
If someone knows what is this, please help!

Hey,
Well, I think nobody can say exactly what drivers you need if you dont post detailed information about these unknown devices.
First of all you should identify them. Therefore you must check the vendor and device ID as you can read in following article:
[How to identify an unknown device (e.g. Wireless LAN module)? |http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=78]
All drivers can be downloaded here:

Satellite P100-324 - XP 64bit drivers

Hi
I have Windows XP Pro 64bit version. From where I can download drivers for this OS?
There are device manufacturers drivers that support 64 bit, but I don't know what's inside my laptop... besides nVidia.
Thanks in advance! :)

Hello
I am pretty sure Toshiba will offer drivers for 64-bit Vista version but for Windows XP you will not find anything on Toshiba download page especially now when no one notebook will be delivered with WXP. Sorry but you are on your own. :(
I have found some info that can you help. This unit has:
Mobile Intel 945PM Express Chipset
Graphics Controller NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900
CX20551-22 soundcard
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG WLAN card
Intel PRO/1000 Ethernet LAN
I didnt find more info.

Satellite A300 and Windows 7 drivers

Hi
Is anybody know, when or if actually will be a drivers operative for Windows Seven for this laptop????

Hey buddy
Are you sure that you want to use Windows 7?
Dont forget that Windows 7 is only a beta version and it could include a lot of problems or something else.
I think the better solution would be Windows Vista or the older XP.
However, try to use the Windows Vista drivers that you can find on the Toshiba website or you search on external websites for drivers.
Good luck! ;)

Satellite A300 Win 7 64bit - ATI Radeon HD 3650 black fullscreen in games

Hello
I've got a problem, everytime I try to turn a game (and if its default window mode is fullscreen) my monitor goes all black and my pc just blocks there, there is no way to get out unless to manually shutdown the laptop (pressing the power button for 5secs).
However if I put the mode to windowed move, it works fine =/
I've already updated my drivers, and now I'm going to try the windows xp mode that was reccomended in this forum.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Just adding, after a while of playing the video card stopped responding (according to a windows warning).
It seems it's my video card that is on its dying breath.

Satellite Pro A300-1NT - need Vista 64-Bit drivers

Hello,
I bought the notebook Toshiba Satellite A300-1NT which came with Windows Vista 32-Bit pre installed and an XP Recovery Disc.
I bought the Vista 64-Bit Edition but I didn't find any drivers for Vista 64-bit on your website though it is 64-bit compatible.
How can I get them ?

Hi
It looks like the Vista 64bit drivers for A300 series are not available on the Toshiba European driver page at this time.
Therefore youve got two possibilities;
Either you will wait till such drivers will be released on the driver website or you will try to collect such drivers at your own hand.
You could search and try for example such single drivers released for another notebook series and could search also on website from chip manufacturers like Intel, Realtek, etc
Bye
