Satellite L300 - big decrease in graphics quality using Win 7 64bit

I have done this clean install (from Vista 32-bit to Win 7 64-bit) for someone and loaded (I think) all the relevant drivers.
There seems to be a big decrease in graphics quality.
Is this something to do with Vista vs. Windows 7 or does it make any difference which of the three display drivers are installed?
Unfortunately, the laptop isn't with me now so I will have to look into this remotely as well.
Thanks.

Is it possible to point me to the exact link for the correct driver as I will need to communicate with someone else to see if it is installed properly.
Is it an .exe as well as that would really help?
Thanks.

    My operating system is Win7 Profwessional 64 bit.

    When WiFi and BT switch is off everything is ok but after turning wireless connection with this switch after fiew second computer is showing dump memory and doesn;t want to work anymore... Restert helps until next turning on the switch on front panel.
    What is wrong ? I was trying to install drivers, unistalling everything and installing...
    Thank you for help.

    Hi buddy,
    Your posting is a little bit confusing I have checked the specifications on Toshiba website of Satellite A200 and some models are equipped with Bluetooth. What Satellite A200 model you have exactly and does it have Bluetooth model?
    If yes I would try to reinstall the whole BT software. Uninstall, restart and install it again
    Has Bluetooth worked on preinstalled Vista from Toshiba?

    Hi,
    When does the issue begin to occur?
    Since Windows system uses separated user mode and kernel mode memory space, stop errors are usually caused by kernel portion components, such as a hardware device,
    third-party drivers, backup software or anti-virus services (buggy services).
    Please refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
    1. Boot the computer in
    Clean Boot for a test.
    2. Temporarily disable all unnecessary hardware devices in Device Manager, such as Modem, sound card or external device.
    For detail steps, we can refer to the link below:
    Device Clean Boot
    3. Upgrade the virus definition, run antivirus program and perform a full scanning.
    If the issue persists, please upload the minidump file (%systemroot%\minidump) to SkyDrive (
    www.skydrive.live.com ), then share the link to me. I will be glad to assist you to analysis the data.
    Thanks,

  • Using Win 7 64bit on desktop and laptop. OK on laptop; desktop does not load graphics in broswer with/without exts/addons. Any ideas?

    Browser loads text on page but not full graphics - some - sometimes; sometimes none. I use same search engine on both desktop and laptop. I've tried disabling add-ons and extensions but it makes no difference. As I didn't know which version of Shockwave Flash to install I've installed both!!!

    Thanks for this. I could not select Shockwave Flash 9.0.45.0 - but downloaded the uninstaller from Adobe which removed the newer Flash 11 version. I reopened Firefox in Safe Mode and yes, Flash 9 was still there. I ran the uninstaller again - after closing Firefox. It said that Flash was removed however when I reopened Firefox in Safe Mode - Flash 9 was still there - disabled - but there. Nothing appears in the Control Panel/Programs list. So how do I uninstall this older version?
    Graphics problem continues in Safe Mode.
    After reading: Flash 9.0 r28 and below: Your Windows list of installed programs may have an entry for "Adobe Flash Player ActiveX" but this will only remove the Flash Player for Internet Explorer and AOL. To completely remove Flash from your system, download the Flash uninstaller from Adobe.com. To remove Flash from Mozilla browsers only, delete these Flash plugin files from all locations. [17]
    I searched for but did not find:
    NPSWF32.dll
    flashplayer.xpt
    This sort of stuff is out of my comfort zone!

  • Satellite L555-12V - Touchpad doesn't using Win 7 64bit

    I bought the laptop with Windows 7 home premium.
    Then I installed Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and my touchpad doesnt work anymore.
    I tried everything. I have the original drivers for 64 bit
    When I make the auto detecting on the Toshiba page it shows me that I have a Satellite A200-17O. :/
    Sorry for my English :D
    mfg

    So what notebook do you have exactly?
    Satellite L555 or Satellite A200-17O?
    Did you check the device manager if the touchpad would appear as unknown device or as installed devices with an yellow exclamation mark??
    I think its driver related issue but from my knowledge the touchpad should work and you should be able to use it even the drivers have not been installed.
    Did you check if the touchpad is not disabled? Check it using the option FN+F9

  • Satellite A500-03P: Cannot connect to WLan using Win 7 + Event message

    Hi all,
    I very recently bought the Satellite A500 with the included offer of Windows7 when it was available end October 09.
    So I got the DVD from Toshibe for the upgrade and followed the steps and upgraded from Visa home premium to Windows 7. I have two issues now.
    1) I am getting a System Event Notification after start up, telling me about the system event log. The full message is below.
    Failed to connect to a windows service
    Windows could not connect to the System Event Notification Service service. This problem prevents limited users from logging on to the system. As an administrative user, you can review the System Event Log for details about why the service didn't respond
    2) I was able to use this laptop for the internet PRIOR to the upgrade, both via a wireless USB drive as well at office via a modem ADSL.
    Now I cannot access the internet after the Windows 7 upgarde!!
    As an example the Optus dial up pop up box appears andwhen I click "connect" it does not connect.
    Can anyone help please??
    Thanks
    C I

    Hey buddy,
    1)Have you checked the Service Configuration for this service? The start up type of System Event Notification Service must be always set to Automatic. This service is absolutely necessary for Windows and shouldnt be disabled or set to manual start type.
    Check this!
    2)To be honest I never heard about internet PRIOR but normally it should also be possible to access the Internet with Windows 7.
    Make sure that the WLAN and/or LAN card is installed properly and check the TCP/IP settings. If you are missing some driver you can get it on the Toshiba page.

  • Re: Portege Z30-A - Bios update 3.80-WIN using Win 7 64bit

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Portege Z30-A
    Maybe someone was able to perform the upgrade bios in windows 7 64 bit?

    I upgraded to 3.70 EC 1.4 as soon as I got hands on my Z30t-A and when I noticed the 3.80 was available I downloaded the zip file. None of the 15 files has started the upgrade process.
    I run Windows 8.1, but the BIOS upgrade should function the same as for WIN 7.
    Toshiba must have forgotten to add a setup.exe or something.
    I haven't seen a release note, but I'm a big fan of fresh software.

  • Satellite A660/07U - Problem installing nVidia driver for Win 7 64bit

    A660/07U Windows 7 64bit
    To begin with, I need to install this driver as apparently it will solve an issue with the current driver that causes the computer to freeze when booting with an external monitor as the primary display.
    I have downloaded the driver install file from the Toshiba web site and it is extracting ok but then when I run the program it just exits immediately without actually installing the drivers.
    Device manager in windows doesn't seem to help either, because when I point it to the extracted folders it tells me I already have up-to-date drivers, even though my current driver version is a lower number than the downloaded one.
    Rebooting has made no difference.
    Any ideas/suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, that is exactly where I got it from and I have tried re-downloading the file but still have had no luck.
    I was, however, able to get the driver directly from NVIDIA and it worked fine and has also resolved the issue with the external monitor bootup.
    It is still strange that the file provided by Toshiba did not work.

  • Satellite L300-243 to connect to JVC camcorder

    Toshiba Satellite L300-243 was purchased primarily to use with Pinnacle 12 to do video editing.
    My previous PC had a 4-4 firewall connection but there is no similar connection on laptop.
    Do I use a 4 - USB lead to make the download from camcorder to laptop?
    Or is there a different socket on laptop I need to use?
    Bob

    Hi
    I assume the JVC camcorder supports the firewire interface and it was connected to the computer via firewire cable.
    Unfortunately, it seems that Satellite L300-243 does not support the firewire port.
    In your case you could purchase an Express card which contains firewire port.
    Then you could connect the camcorder to the notebook.
    Cheers

  • Satellite A500: Low screen resolution using Win 7

    Hi,
    I've looked around the forum and haven't found any real solutions to my problem so...
    I recently bought a Satellite A500 and did a fresh install of Windows 7 Professional on it.
    Apparently I was supposed to just upgrade it in order to keep the drivers but being the noob I am, I didn't.
    So now my resolution is stuck at 1024x768 or 800x600, neither of which are native.
    I've downloaded the win7 64-bit drivers from the Toshiba website, but apparently I already have the latest ATI driver installed.
    However I still can't change the resolution and my monitor is recognized as generic non-PnP.
    Is there any way to check if I have the display driver already?
    And also any solutions to the display problem would be much obliged. It's the only thing left bothering me now about this new laptop.

    Hi
    I assume you are using Win 7 64bit OS since you have chosen the Win 7 64bit display driver is it right?
    What A500-xxx do you have exactly?
    The Toshiba European driver page provides three different display drivers for A500 series; Intel, nVidia and ATI
    Seems three different graphic chips have been installed in A500 series
    You should firstly check what graphic chip your notebook uses
    Then go to device manager and uninstall the installed display driver.
    Then visit the Toshiba European driver page, download the right display driver for the graphic chip and install it.
    After that reboot the unit and check how the notebook would run.

  • Is graphic card upgrade on Satellite L300-21W possible?

    Hi!
    I`m thinking to buy Toshiba Satellite L300-21W but i wat to play some games on it like Cod2 but I think that her serial graphic card is weak so my question is:
    " CAN I REPLACE GRAPHIC CARD WITH BETTER ONE OR NOT( and with which one if you know)!?!?!??!"
    Thank you!

    As far as I know graphic card on mobile computers cannot be upgraded. This is also described in follow document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
    So if you want to play different games with your notebook pick up info about models with better graphic cards.
    I can recommend you to check Satellite A300/A350 notebook models.
    Talk with your local dealer.

  • Satellite L300 - Which WLAN driver I need to use?

    I reformatted the drive and installed Win XP Professional and updated the BIOS. The Realtek 8187b Wlan driver is not recognised in the device properties. There seem to be three different brands of drivers listed but do not know which one is te correct one.
    I made sure the WiFi switch is on. (Fn + F8 does not work).
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi Klaas-bcs,
    Your notebook belongs to PSLB0A series and therefore you can get all drivers on Toshiba Australian page:

    Youre right that there are different drivers listed but if you have a Realtek WLAN card you have to download the Realtek RTL8187B Wireless LAN Driver

  • Satellite L300 1BD - VGA output is not working

    Hello.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 1BD (Model PSLB8E). I was usinng the VGA output to connect to my LG tv. It worked fine until last week. All of a sudden the TV doesn't get reckognized by the laptop anymore. The TV says that no external device is connected. I have tried different things: starting up with the TV connected and not connected through the VGA cable, pressing the FN+F5 button, removing the battery and pressing the powerbutton, checked for the latest videodriver, removed the existing driver and installed it again...unfortunately without any result. I also tried to hook the TV up with a different VGA cable, but no result. It's not the TV, because i did try to hook the laptop up to a TFT monitor and it didn't work as well. Tested the VGA cable with my friends laptop: it works perfect.
    The strange thing is: if i hook the TV up to the laptop, i can hear the laptop is making the 'new hardware detected' sound and the laptopscreen even turns black for a second, then everything appears back on the laptopscreen. If i check the graphic properties with the rightclick on my desktop, i can see that they are no set for 'clone device'. As if the laptop knows, something is connected, but just can't transfer the image to the TV screen.
    The graphic adapter is a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset family.
    The OS is Vista Home Basic (32).
    It's a shame the VGA output seems to be out of order since i watch tons of video's and movies through my laptop on the TV screen. I don't know if this could be a software or a hardware malfunction. If anyone has an idea or some clue, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I would like to give my 2 cents to this post (and the answers from Toshiba):

    I have exactly the same L300 19F with the same graphic adapter, only with Windows 7 Ultimate (32) and was watching DVD's through my Toshiba TFT TV-set/VGA Monitor for a couple of years as well as all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore. The same as the gentleman who started this thread I checked everything there is to check: my laptop/another screen, another laptop/my screen, drivers, new cable, even installed the (original and licensed) W7 OS again etc. etc. etc. TO NO AVAIL !!!
    Since this is the first time that I can't solve a technical computer problem in more then 25 years I got mad and started to think what the heck I did different over the last few weeks, and now I think I know the culprit.
    One day, a few months ago, I saw a warning in my screen to flash my BIOS with a new upgrade from the Toshiba website. Having seen that message for several months I did not give it much attention because everything worked fine, and the reason given for the update was a quote "password protection update" unquote, a function I don't use anyway and that's why I didn't run that fast.
    After a while I decided to flash the BIOS, just to get rid of the annoying message and now I am quite sure that it really did kill my VGA output capabilities.
    So, instead of the nice "Check your Power Cord" and "Go to the Official Toshiba Dealership" hints, maybe there is some technical solution. Maybe there might even be a nice technical Toshiba person have a look into the BIOS update and what the heck the differences are with the old one.
    At the very least you could offer a "downdate" of the current valid BIOS for this type, because everything used to work pretty good and, as a 25 year long time customer of Toshiba laptops, I could be entitled to a little better (quality) answer.......
    My friend Marcinondrums and I still have hopes.
    Thank you !!

  • Memory upgrade problem on Satellite L300

    My laptop is a Satellite L300 PSLB8A-047004. I purchased a kit of 2 x 2GB modules and inserted carefully following the instructions (they clicked into place). On restart the Power light was lit, the fan was on but no further activity, and the display remained black, no disk activity. Originally there was 1-off 1GB PC2-6400S module installed and Ive checked that the new ones are PC2-6400S. I took them out and put them back in but same result. When I put the original module back in it worked fine.
    I then tried just one of the new modules in place of the original one but no luck so the original module is now back in and all seems OK.
    Any suggestions please? If there was module damage from being handled then the original 1GB module should also be damaged as its the one thats been handled the most.
    Kev.

    This is typical behaviour by compatibility problems. Which modules you have, I mean who is manufacturer?
    I recommend you to use high quality products from Kingston or Toshiba. For more info about compatible modules for your notebook visit http://www.kingston.com/worldwide/default.asp
