Satellite L500-21T & Windows 8 64-bit

I changed my operating system to windows 8 64bit , all hardware defined by windows except chipset & blutooth (I defined them once from Windows 7 another time from latest model like L830). but the function key not working (for wirekess/blutooth on/off ).
Is there any drivers for L500-21T for windows 8 64bit or from specific new compatible models drivers?

> Is there any drivers for L500-21T for windows 8 64bit...
On http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/checkWindows8Compatible.do?service=EU you can check if your notebook is supported for Win8 OS.
One more thing: your notebook has Intel HM55 Express Chipset. Interesting is that Tecra A11 with part number PTSE0E has the same chipset and it is supported for Win8 so you can try to use chipset driver offered for this Tecra notebook.

Satellite L500-21T - Stop error code when installing Windows 7

Hello
I bought a notebook Satellite L500-21T from saudi arabia.
I lost the hd recovery during trying fix windows 7 installation. If I try to install windows 7 I get stop code 0x0000009c error. If I turn sata to compitibality from AHCI Windows xp sp2 not sp3 installed but most drivers like display and wlan not installed. Trying to update BIOS give that is not suitable for that the phoenix version of bios 1.5
I changed HD and RAM but the same problem. It may the BIOS?
plz help me

Hi buddy,
Do you install Windows 7 from Toshiba recovery disk or normal Microsoft disk?
Usually if you install Windows 7 from recovery disk, everything should work well because its pretested image from Toshiba and you get back out of box settings (factory settings).
If not it seems to be a hardware malfunction
By the way: Try to load the default settings in BIOS. You can do this if you press F9 key in BIOS.

New Satellite C660-1F1 windows 64-bit -cant use graphics editing software

Hi Guys....any help appreciated...this is the message I sent to Toshiba support but they are taking their time getting back to me:
Important information: Satellite C660-1F1
Key Features
- Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery)
- Intel Core i3-380M Processor
- DVD-SuperMulti +-R (Double Layer)
- 2048 MB DDR3 RAM (1066MHz)
- 39.6cm (15.6") TruBrite HD (1366 x 768) High Brightness display with LED backlight with 16:9 aspect ratio
Hi... I purchased my laptop about a month ago from Argos and it has a 2 year warranty. I have one big problem - the 2 main graphics editing programmes that I use do not work. Both Corel Paintshop Photo Pro x3 and Adobe CS5 can both be installed and opened but as soon as I try to save a photo or edit a photo both of the programmes crash and i have to close it down by using end task in task manager.
This happened when I installed the full versions of both programmes which I purchased and it also happens when you download the trial versions from both the Corel and the Adobe download sites. I have been on so many help forums for both adobe and corel and the most helpful pointer came from one of the designers at Adobe - a Chris Cox.
He very logically stated that as it happened in both of these 2 graphics editing packages that it was most likely a problem with the graphics card drivers or the actual graphics card hardware. I purchased a 64-bit operating system to handle precisely these 2 programmes which can be exhausting on the system. I know i only have 2 GB RAM at the moment but it has been happening with other people...some who even have 8GB and 16GB of RAM which is what I will have in the next few weeks. However, not if I cannot rectify this problem. Please can you help/advise the best solution. This seems to be a problem only with the 64-bit systems. Both Adobe and Corel are 64-bit compatible.
There is also a message that appears when I open Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended....which is as follows:
...."Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements, Check the video card manufacturers website for the latest software."
I then click that message away ....use the programme, edit something, try to save and it crashes. I have gone through all troubleshooting directions and ran countless diagnostics but there only seems to be one common denominator between the 2 different programmes and that is my Toshiba laptop.... I even tried installing another large photo editing software package to test it and I had the same result - an application crash.
Please help! Thanking you in advance.
Kind regards
John

Hello John
Have you already got some answer from Toshiba?
What to say my friend? In my opinion the best advice you can get from Corel and Adobe. They have best experience with own product and have probably tested them on different hardware platforms.
Notebook manufacturers offer different notebook models with different hardware configurations. Some of them are cheap and offered with average hardware. The performance is not the best but good enough for every day activities like internet, office, mailing and so on.
On other hand there are notebooks with excellent and powerful hardware. Very often such notebooks cost twice as much as cheap low budget products.
Please dont understand me wrong but your C notebook is not the best one for usage with such powerful software.
I really dont know what Toshiba can do about it. I can imagine that you need other graphic driver but graphic driver support for mobile computers is pretty limited and I dont think you can do much about that.
What you can try is to download and install driver from graphic card manufacturer but you must do this on your own risk.
Sorry friend but I dont have any other advice for you. I just think youve bought wrong notebook for such complex graphic operations. 2 GB RAM? I dont know.
Good luck.

Satellite L500-128 - When can I get Windows 7 drivers?

Hi,
Recently I have bought Satellite L500 with Windows Vista. I hope Toshiba make the Windows 7 drivers soon so I can install Windows 7 Professional on my laptop. Why does it take so long?
Would the drivers come I an few weeks or must we wait till next year?
Greats, from the netherlands!!

Hi Dennis,
First of all Im pretty sure that Toshiba will release Windows 7 for this model because I founded this: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/KBA9A02PX0000R01.htm
I think nobody at the moment can say how long it takes until Toshiba will release the drivers for this model but I can understand that not all drivers can be released on one or two days. I assume Toshiba do test the drivers before they upload them and this takes a little bit but I noticed that every day more and more drivers for Windows 7 will be released so check the Toshiba page from time to time.
Regarding the Windows 7 drivers on the US page its really nice to read that you have founded another model with the same specification so I assume the drives should also work on your model. Im waiting for a feedback from you because Im thinking about buying Satellite L500 for Windows 7 too so it would be very nice to read your experience with the drivers here. :)

Re: Satellite L500-19X - Webcam application start with Windows

I have lost my Web Camera Application from off the desktop.
I can bring it back by going to the Web Camera Application / Program files(86) / Toshiba/ Web Camera Application and clicking on the Web Camera Application .exe. But it will not reappear when I boot. I have the Auto Run ticked,
My laptop is the Satellite L500-19X, Windows 7
Thanks for any help.

Thanks to all the replies I have now got the Web Camera Application working properly.
Dr.Lamp the download link you gave me has enabled the Web Camera Application.
The problem I had with installing the driver ie Windows Script Host error, not allowing me to install the driver, I overcame by not allowing the zip file to extract and install. What I did was create a new folder on the desk top, and instructed the zip to extract but not install the contents into the new folder. When all the files had been extracted to the new folder, I opened the folder and clicked on the .exe file. To my amazement and joy, the software ran and first removed the existing software, I rebooted and clicked again on the .exe and the software installed. I now have the web camera application on my desktop and it re-appears after a re-boot.

After reading the replies that was given while I was writing my last post, can someone enlighten me regards whether the action I took was the correct action to take, I am concerned that I may still have further problems regarding the 'Error message Cannot find script engine'

Satellite L500 and issues with wireless connection

Hello people
Ill just throw my problem out there.
First of all my details and info which may help you help me!
Satellite L500 running windows 7 (note: same issues when Vista was installed)
Latest wireless drivers as well as latest drivers for everything else.
My wireless router is a billion voip enabled router 7000 series its quite a good one for when I got it about 2 yrs ago and works fine.
Basically the problem is the wireless on my Satellite L500 keeps dropping out. Im no more than 20m away at most, right now Im 10m away with 1 wall in the way. I tried to get to a website and it says connection dropped out or unable to find host.
However the other laptops in the same room same spot at the same time has no issues at all. Never has.
As soon as I go into the same room as my router it works again. Sometimes works if I just stand on the opposite wall.
So basically Im thinking my wireless card in my laptop is either faulty or just no good?
Can u replace the wireless card with a different one? Maybe the Toshiba ones are just no good? Ive read so many problems with these wireless cards in Toshibas...
Anyone have any ideas? Have I missed any info u need? Ill repost again in a day or so with the types of wireless devices in each laptop.

Hi
At the moment I doubt that your WLAN card is faulty. Before you exchange it you should also update your BIOS and not only the WLAN card driver. Both updates you should download from the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
I had a similar issue with my Toshiba notebook and WLAN connection. The problem was the WLAN power saving mode in Windows Power Management. There you can also choose a power saving mode for the WLAN card. Disable it and choose Maximum Performance.

Issues with my Satellite L500

hi everyone, i currently have a toshiba satellite L500, running windows 7, 3 gb ram 350gb hdd..
it was running fine until a fortnight ago, when my computor kept popping up message in the far bottom right hand corner saying windows error, critical error, youre hdd is missing, missing RAM etc etc, a window popped up telling me to do a system scan which i did and it came up with all these very bad errors.. it them popped up a program calle dmemory optimizer and told me to scan and do a defrag.. which i did.. and then teh next thingi knew, the hdd had disapeared from my computor, i couldnt access anything on the desktop, but could tab between the pages i already had open. then teh whole thing crashed.
i did a recovery on my own, and the error appeared to be fixed.. but then would only work properly in safe mode. so i took it to a repairer who charged me $188, reformatt teh whole drive, put on a copy of kapersky and office full version..
the day after getting it home, i noticed when i was typing things, the cursor would move about the page on its own, and id end up typing in the middle of what id already typed, sooo frustrating!! so the tech man suggested i download a program called touchfreeze.. and it fixed it..
now the last day or two, ill be in the middle of working on my laptop and it will just go to a black screen.. and it will resume when i press the mousepad, or it will completely turn off and go into sleep mode..
theres no settings on for sleep or hybernate, so sort of screen saver nothing.. and like i said, it happens when the laptos in use, about every 15 mins and happens several times.. any idea on what could eb the issue??
i could swear there were other issues with my laptop and he just said it was a virus..

Hey man you bomb us with all these issues and your last issue is pretty confusing.
Before we start discussion tell me one: do you use Toshiba recovery image (original operating system you got with your notebook)?

Satellite L500: WLan drops out and doesnt work most of the time

hi everyone, i have a toshiba satellite L500 running windows 7. have been using iprimus internet, wirelessly, no problems for a few weeks,before that, was using it via ethernet cable as i didnth ave a wireless modem. my laptop was off charge the other night and went flat, next morning when i woke up and turned it on, it wouldnrt connect to the internet.. after hours and hours of phone calls to iprimus, and numerous winsock resets, ethernet cable testing, and modem resetting, they tell me that the problem is within my laptop...
So i rang toshiba.. and they got me to go into device managers, and then network adapters, and disable, actually uninstall the wireless drivers, then reinstall.. and it worked.. finally... (forgot to add with all the iprimus confusion someone had reset my passowrd and i had to configure that to the laptop..
so anyway, after all these calls, i did a complete restore of the laptop, and wiped everything and reinstalled it all, and therefore reinstalled the modem. this time in modem setup it was telling me the wireless network adapter was unplugged, and would only let me set it up via ethernet..
now earlier today i did have the internet.. but it dropped out randomly.. webpages will go slow, sometimes it will reconnect, other times it wont. now i thougbht i might try and uninstall and reinstall the modem again,s ame error, and this time, cant get on wirelessly at all.
ive googled to see if others ahve had this problem.. and seeing what other people wrote, i went into my battery settings, and checked the WLAN didnt go into sleep mode etc, and ive also checked everythings enabled. ive no idea what to do,, neither iprimus or Toshiba will give me any anwers, both companies are just blaming each other lol
so i
it does appear to be my laptop, as all lights are on modem.. and iprimus keep telling me its not registering with them ( the disconnections) so it must be my wireless. though everytime my laptop dropped out of internet, so would my bfs iphone we were testing, and so did my other laptop which is partially stuffed but could normally still connect to the net.. so thats telling me its a modem problem.. ive no idea what to do.. and cant keep this via ethernet on the bench in this new hosue ive moved into,as with 2 kids under 3, thats just asking for trouble..
anyone have any suggestion??
thanks in advance

wel after many more phone calls to iprimus, i finally found a helpful indian, who ran me through the modem setup AGAIN like everyone else has, this time in its security settings, he got me to change the wireless signal channel from 2 to 9, said that would improve the signal, every other person when explaining the issues i was having, always told me to set it on 2.. so this has improved it dramatically in the day, but at night, particulary around 830pm, it drops out over and over and over...
would this just be a faulty modem, and perhaps buying oen from a harvery norman etc would be better?? or could it just be iprimus as a whole with there wireless coverage? im not in an iprimus area, theyve borrowed the lines of telstra or something.. so im on a crappier plan in this new house, and dont have adsl2 just 1500 speed. would this have anythign to do with the poor reception, or perhaps is there something in my house interfearing, or in my neighbors house? there is a satelite here, but no actual foxtel connected, looks as though it has been before. there is also an alarm here, not in use though.. ive not even seen if it turns on..

Satellite L500-1EH - Nothing happens if I press a FN key

hello,
I just bought a new Satellite L500-1EH, Windows 7 and none of my function keys work with the fn keys seem to work (meaning that when I press fn key + one of the function keys nothing happens). Does somebody know how can I solve it?
thank you very much,
Roni

Hi
What do you think about installing the drivers for FN keys?
You have to download Toshiba Value Added Package that you can find on the Toshiba website.

I had a similar issue and after installing this Toshiba all everything works. :)

How to recover Vista on Satellite L500

Hello guys,
I bought a Satellite L500 with Windows Vista...unfortunately I am not a Vista-lover, so I installed the good old WXP.
However, I forgot to burn a copy of the vista-version.
Then I realized that there are no xp-drivers available for the Satellite. So I installed the vista-drivers. Almost everything worked, except the graphics drivers.
My notebook, of course, now uses the default graphics drivers from windows, but now everything is distorted.
Now my question: Is there a way to recover Vista? Of course, I own a product key that I have acquired with the purchase of the notebook.
I have also a Vista CD from my other computer, but it does not accept the product key from the notebook.
Thanks for your help!
ps: Sorry for bad english ;)

@xaver
I have a original Microsoft Windows Vista DVD, but if I install Vista with this DVD, I must activate it after approx. 2-3 weeks of Vista online. If I give the key which stands on my notebook comes an announcement that my key is invalid. I think this is due to the fact that the notebooks have a kind of protection and therefore only the Vista version functions which was from the outset on the notebook.
I think it really sadly that there are no drivers for WXP.
Nevertheless, the choice of the operating system should be with the customer: (
@ZiglioNZ
I do not believe that I still own this partition. As this activation came I had to develop the hard disk and delete completely. Otherwise I could not even have installed any more WXP.
Nevertheless, already thanks:)
I hope somebody has one more idea

Re: Satellite L500-02C

I have a Satellite L500-02C and I install Windows 7 32bit from original version of 64bit to run application that wouldn't work on it. I have installed all drivers for the 32bit, but I am having trouble getting the drivers for the touchpad (synaptic) also the driver for the function keys. I have tried the Toshiba web site download from there but they don't work.
Can anyone help?

Hey,
>but they don't work.
Why they dont work? Can you explain this?
Usually the Satellite L500 supports Windows 7 32bit too and therefore you can download all drivers and tools on official Toshiba website:

If you have more questions please let us know! :)

Can Windows 7 64-bit work on Satellite L500-02F?

Hi,
I have a toshiba satellite l500-02f and I have windows 7 32bit intalled.
I have programs such as adobe premiere pro cs5 and adobe after effect cs5, but I cannot install them because I have windows 7 32bit.
So I would like to know if it's possible to back up my files and programs in my laptop, then upgrading windows 7 32bit to a windows 7 64bit in the toshiba satellite l500-02f ?
Thank you.

Hello
I found your notebook on Canadian support page and it is supported for Win7 64bit. With other words you can download drivers from download page - http://support.toshiba.ca/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp

Satellite L500-164 Drivers for Windows XP?

What about Drivers for Windows XP (32-Bit)?
On the Toshiba Driver Site for this product there are only drivers vor vista 32 bit and vista 64 bit...
where can I find drivers for Win XP??? Or do the Vista drivers work for Win XP, too??
I cannot test it now because I first want to ensure that it will work with win xp, after I wanted to install it..

Hello
The Satellite L500 doesnt support Windows XP, it supports only Vista 32bit and Vista 64bit. Windows XP is pretty old OS, it the past. Now its Windows Vista or Windows 7.
If you want to install XP you have to collect the drivers by yourself on external websites, like Intel, Realtek and so far.
But to be honest be happy with preinstalled OS. All new notebooks are fast enough for Vista. ;)
