Satellite M40-225 and Vista PCMCIA driver

I lost my original disks for my M40 so bought a copy of Vista to install on my computer, when I first installed it the computer would not start up so I looked on the internet and it seems there is a conflict with the PCMCIA drivers and Vista. I followed the advice on the forum and managed to get vista to load by deleting all the files relating to the PCMCIA drivers.
Vista now loads but I am unable to find update drivers to get the PCMCIA slot running. I use this port for my wireless internet has the internal one was very slow with my router. Ive tried downloading the drivers from Toshiba but there is no Vista ones. Ive reinstalled the originals but they still dont work although Vista now loads. Does anyone know of a solution to my problem?
Thanks Steve

Hi
First of all the M4 I dont understand why there is a conflict between the PCMCIA drivers and Vista!
The drivers are included in the Vista OS so how did you remove such drivers and how did you install the Vista on this notebook?
Furthermore the notebook supports the PC card slot and you can use the PCMCIA R2.01, PC Card 16(multi-function card) and PCMCIA 32bit cards. The BIOS controls this slot.
Maybe you have to update the BIOS before you will install the Vista on this unit!!!

Satellite M40-129 and Win7 Drivers

Hi,
I just installed Win7 on my Toshiba Satellite M40-129. This was a really tough one... Windows refused to finish installation until I deleted pcmcia.sys in the windows system folder.
Now I have the problem that neither my pcmcia cardbus is working nor my SD-card reader. As soon as I ask Win7 to update PCMCIA driver, the computer doesnt start anymore till I again delete pcmcia.sys.
Now my question: I can live with having a not working pcmcia slot, but are there any drivers available for windows 7 and the SD-Cardbus?
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
I have windows 7 in my satellite m40-285 (PEntiun M 1.86GHz, 2GB RAM, Ati X300) and it runs smoothly.
The problem with pcmcia.sys is the same with vista you can find in google how to rename it.
The most difficoult was to make the graphic card work well with AERO, I had to install the diver for a Dell and update throw windows.
Good luck!
I don't think the M40 series are too old if you have enough memory and a good CPU and GPU

Satellite X200-252 and Vista sound mixer problem

Hi,
My Satellite X200-252 is running under Vista Home Premium operating system.
I have strange problem with sound mixer. After (I think) some security patches applied my vista stopped from recognizing the sound device.
The taskbar sound icon on the right side of the screen is marked with red cross and while im clicking the icon the info-window states that there is no sound device connected.
When I select the properties, I see all 3 output devices, i.e. internal speakers, hdmi and digital output. However no icon is displayed in the window. But the configuration is working.
Moreover the keyboard shortcuts as well as touchpad works as expected. I mean I can mute/unmute etc..
But I can not change the volumes per channel. For this I need the mixer app.
What I can do to repair my comp?

Hi
In your case I would recommend reinstalling the sound driver.
As far as I know this notebook supports an Realtek sound card.
You could visit the Realtek website and could download the sound driver directly from this page.
You need an HD sound driver.

Xboard 61 and Vista x64 driver problems

I cannot install the driver for my Xboard 61 without this happening. I've done the following:
-run as administrator
-changed the integrity setting to "ON" using BCDEDIT
-run driver setup in an unpacked driver application folder
-checked to see that emuumidi.sys is installed in system32 folder
-re-checked to see that the same Xboard works on my extant XP x32 system (and it does)
I'm at a loss for what to do. Emu has email support now and its hasn't provided any answers.
Here is a copy of what happens to my system. Any suggestions are welcome.

Do you have vista service pack 1 installed? That will do it, I think. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C21C3978-3B7D-4D64-873B-3C9D26982D7A&displa...
If the link doesn't work, search the microsoft site for update KB936330 (x64 version).
I had many driver problems with all kinds of hardware on my computer with vista x32. I downloaded SP1 (but for x32 version) and all those problems were solved.

Designjet 250c and Vista? Driver or work around?

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am looking for a work around for Vista so I can print directly to my designjet 250c. It works on XP and everything below but the driver was discontinued for Vista. I was wondering if anyone was aware of a program which could translate the print information or if anyone created a DIY driver. Thanks for any help in advance.

Satellite P875-319 and Second Disk Drive

Hello, I have one question. Does P875-319 has slot for second disk drive?

Hi
Please check this:
+Toshiba Satellite P870, P875 - Hard Disc Drive Replacement Procedure+
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU2603C90000R01.htm
After the memory slot cover has been removed, you will see two HDD bays.
There is a primary HDD bay and secondary HDD/SDD bay
But not all P875 unit support the HDD controller for the 2nd HDD bay.
In such case 2nd HDD is not possible so check if an connector is available.

Satelite A300-1GN and Vista x64 driver support

Hi,
I am (happy?) owner of this model for 2 days.
However it seemes logically that if this notebook can support up to 8GB RAM (i bought with 4GB) there should be possibility to install x64 operating system.
It seems, but it's not like I see. There are no drivers for x64 MS Systems on Toshiba official website to download.
Well, I am able to understand you do not want to support Win XP x64, because this system is getting older.
I can not understand how it's possible that every large company supports Vista x64 for their devices and Toshiba do not.
It seems perverse that you do not deliver suitable drivers and I really can't believe that.
I am wonder and i hope the main reason is that product I own is a new model and the drivers appears soon.
E.g. Satelite A200 has x64 support despite its a lower and weaker model...
I hope we can expect that our doubts will be explaining, and Toshiba will not slight their custommers longer, but will incline to our requests.
If I am mistaking of looking for needed drivers, then want to apologize for my post,
but if I am not wrong I will be satisfied to hear rational answer and ensure that the drivers will comming soon!
regards
Kuba

Well I really hope it will be.
Mabye can you tell me how long does it usually take to support the drivers for 64bit systems for new model by toshiba?
If I will have to wait e.g. 2 years there will be no sense to wait for them. If does it usually take about few months I will be waiting carefully.
Or mabye somebody can give me advice if there is a sense trying to find needed drivers on devics producers sites?
Finally my question is, if models having nearly the same devices and configurations like sat a300-1GN and sat a300-15B are probably using the same drivers?
If there are the same graphic cards the same webcam the same loudspeaker? :)
Is there any sense to try drivers for this devices for sat a200 series?
I am sure i will try to install Vista x64 for few days so i am satisfied for all tips i will get here.
Greetings,
Kuba

Satellite Pro 2100 and new hard drive

Hi,
I've seen on another post that L0nestar has installed a Western Digital WD2500BEVE (250GB, 5400RPM) into a Pro 2100.
The question I have is what interface is required EIDE or SATA? The original drive states its a SATA interface, but the WD2500BEVE is an EIDE interface?
Hope someone can clear this up for me.
Cheers.

As far as I know all old notebook models have HDDs with EIDE interface. Satellite Pro 2100 is delivered with Enhanced IDE (ATA-5) HDD.
Bye

Satellite M40: Win XP install after system crash- ser.number problem

Hello there,
i would like to ask you what shall i do. I bought new toshiba satellite m40 laptop about 5 years ago in London.
There was no Win XP recovery cd (no recovery partition on hdd as well), just cd with toshiba drivers in the box. Now my system crashed.
Took me long time to figure out what it was. (BSOD - "not ACPI compliant") I tried almost everything even HDD format.
Later on i completely dismanteled laptop, cleaned the dust inside and it works again - no BSOD.
Now i need to install my WinXP back. So i downloaded WinXP service pack 3 cd-rom and tried to install it.
It wont take my serial number which i have on a sticker on my toshiba.
Please help me, what shall i do?
I paid for WinXP (system was included in price) and now i cannot use it.

Well, i was in London just few months when i bought that laptop. The guy in the store told me the box include everything - it was the way they got it. I didn't know how it works in London (well except the robb of in an exchange office on victoria train station first day and another one paying for a laptop in Computer store which had branches all around London and the company crashed and did not pay me back) and it was my first (delivered) laptop as well. Of course i asked why there is no Win XP cd (or recovery). I used to have many destops before starting with old good 386@20MHz. I was very well aware that i really need installation cd of windows, do remember loads of system crashes of Win95 and Win98. Maybe somebody took it out of the box, who knows. I am just 100% sure it was not there. So i reconciled myself with it, was a newbee there, didn't want to make problems. My fault. Another one was not buying recovery program (or use of that toshiba recovery creator) to make image of hdd. Those days imaging system was quite a new thing as well-at least for me. Few days ago I tried toshiba support web to find recovery cd, even e-bay, etc. to find and buy it. No chance. I can try to call Toshiba UK support centre, but i guess it will be the same answer.
You wrote your friend has got one as well, is it the type -225 ? Full name of it is: Toshiba satellite m40 -225. Different number means different hardware, but recovery cd of your friend might be compatible. Would it be possible to ask him to give/sale me an image of that disk? Toshiba support in my country cannot provide help or further info, is not comparable with the UK or US one. But thank you guys for answering me anyway! :-) Any idea welcomed.
EDIT: BSOD (not ACPI compliant) is unfortunatelly back, laptop works just in really cold (-10 C) environment. Restoration CD would be logical step to go.

Who has installed Vista Ultimate SB at Satellite M40

Is there anyone who have Vista Ultimate installed at Satellite M40? I've big problems to install Vista. After I disabled the PCMCIA it's OK. I'm looking for a new BIOS-update and Vista-drivers.

Hi
Im a M40 owner but I did not install the Vista on this unit. I use the XP.
I did not install the Vista on this unit because according to the Toshiba document which I found in this forum the Toshiba drivers are not available and I dont think that this drivers will be available in the next time or anytime for this notebook series.
Does the notebook have a Vista capable sticker? I dont think so :(

Satellite P300D-13N and XP Installation Issues (Sata-Driver)

Hi,
I have some issues with my XP-Downgrade.
I already tried integrating the Intel Storage Manager drivers into my XP-CD but unfortunately it didn't work.
Probably because i've been integrating ALL drivers, that were available and not just the one that should work for my chipset.
Anyway, in one of the threads in this forum there is a link to [THIS How To|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm] and I think I found my problem...
[Here|http://s5.directupload.net/images/080904/2eptrpzs.jpg] is a screenshot of my device manager (sorry for it being in german) of the pre-installed Vista.
As you can see, there is no information about the controller-Version.
So my question is, WHAT chipset is built into my laptop, because due to the fact that the Intel drivers do not work AND there is no information about any Intel Drive-Controller, I have no idea, which drivers i have to integrate into the XP-CD to get my XP-Installation to work. :(
Help :(
Thank you
Laptop: Satellite P300D-13N PSPDCE

Of course... I didn't want to bore you with the details... but I can do that ;)
I couldn't find any Chipset drivers on amd.com OR the toshiba website so I googled for the chipset and found [This Driver|http://eu.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=883&CategoryID=1&Deta ilName=Driver&MenuID=123&LanID=4] on the ECS-Elitegroup website.
I don't know why AMD doesn't upload this driver on their website, because I don't think I am the only one, who needed this SATA-Driver... ;)
Anyway, with the chipset-driver on my HDD, I created an XP-BootCD. I didn't know which driver (there are 3 or so in the package you can download on the ECS-Website), so I put *all* of them in the CD, which worked just fine. I think the *ahcix86.inf* in *\1_chipset_XP3264\XP3264\RAID7xx\x86\ i* is the important file for WinXP to load, but I'm not sure...
PS: The original catalyst drivers from ati.com do NOT work but the ones you can find [here|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU] work fine ;) Just telling you so you don't try 3 different versions from ati.com before you try the toshiba-drivers... like i did :D

Windows Vista Ultimate doesn't install on Satellite M40

Windows Vista Ultimate doesn't install on this notebook. Vista hangs after installation and doesn't boot up. Does anybody know what the problem is?

Hello
As far as I know older units are not Vista supported. I believe it is not necessary to say why. Satellite M40 is older notebook model and definitely not Vista supported. Many newer WXP preinstalled notebooks are Vista supported but Toshiba has for each model designed new BIOS version and before installing Vista the BIOS update must be done at first.
I can imagine that new BIOS is needed for M40 too but as I said before this machine is not Vista supported. I am very interested if someone will report more about Vista on Satellite M40.

Satellite M40-145: CD/DVD drive won't read some DVDs

Hello!
I own a Satellite M40-145 purchased just over one year ago; the DVD driver worked perfectly until three days ago, but today I discovered something... peculiar. It still reads commercial DVDs and burned DVD+R, but apparently it doesn't read burned DVD-Rs anymore. I have tried with different DVD-Rs I burned through the same DVD player, with no success; trying to access the DVD yields a "insert disk in D: drive" message.
In this case, I'm talking about movies on DVDs. Please tell me there's a way to solve this without sending the computer to customer service...
I'd hate to think it broke down just days after the expiration date of the warranty.

Hi
Well, you can try to remove the drive form the device manger.
After new reboot the drive should be recognized again. Check then if its possible to read the DVD-R CD.
But the issue sounds as a lens calibration error. If you use different media the lens must be calibrated again. But if this procedure fails, the drive is not able to read or write the DVD for example.
Unfortunately, in such cases only the drive replacement will solve this issue.

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!
