Satellite M45-S265 - How do I delete WiFi File from the system?

This M45-S265 Machine has Intel Pro/Wireless BG Network Connection.
The installed Driver is Intel dated 12\19\2007 Version 9.0.4.39
So I want to "completely" uninstall this driver from the system.
Going thru the device manager and simply asking it to uninstall doesn't completely uninstall.
Because as soon as it refreshes it will reinstall the same file from a cache some where in the system.
So how do I go about completely uninstalling such a driver from the machine?
Can anyone answer this for me? Many thanks.

Hi
In device manager you can check were the WLan driver file was installed and how its called.
Choose WLan card -> Properties -> Driver tab -> Driver Details
There you will see the path and how the driver files are called.
Then go to this folder and delete it.
Bye

Satellite M45-S265 tries to start then dies

I have a M45-S265 and when I turn it on the light comes on (on the switch), the fan comes on then it just dies. I tried taking the battery out and it worked once then froze. Kept trying over a period of a week, same result, came back after a week, with the battery in and it started then froze again.
I have no idea if this could a faulty switch or what! The fact that it has frozen on the couple of occasions it actually has started has me confused!

Hi
Hmm. First of all check if you AC adaptor is ok and if its connected properly to the notebook. You should ensure that AC adaptor provides power to the notebook.
As next step you should check if its not a software issue. In such case you should try to boot from the Recovery disk.
If its not possible to reinstall the OS using such disk then a hardware problem could be possible.
In such case the RAM modules should be checked. Maybe one of the modules or both RAM modules are faulty and therefore the notebook does not run as it should.
Last but not least if you dont have enough resources to perform such notebook test then a notebook technician should be contacted.

Satellite M45-S265 will no longer hibernate

My laptop no longer hibernates when I close the lid. Even if I manually try to get it to hibernate through the START menu, it just reverts back to the desktop. All settings that I can find are set to hibernate when the lid is closed. I also checked the device driver for my newly installed mouse, but the settings look OK there, too. Additionally, I installed and ran Registry Patrol, which found other problems, but didn't fix this one. How can I fix this?

Confusing when you post the same problem more than once, Becky.

Satellite M45-S265 went black screen

I can pwr on but as soon as the Toshiba logo appears, the screen goes totally black and the laptop gets very quiet. i was using it when this happened last night but did not see it happen as i had turned away momentarily. the disc drive runs when i load a disc but no response from laptop. its not the battery. I always use the AC pwr cord and its not the cord because i have two and it gets pwr. could be a windows thing (xp) but i tend to think its hardware... im just guessing. im not a computer pro. anyone had this happen and what was your solution? I need the data on this machine today and cannot access it from this netbook I am currently using to find a solution.
thanks. I'm desperately seeking solid help here...

Virus. I recently had one of the 'Anti Virus Software' viruses that I thought was thouroghly cleaned. I guess not. Since the virus can actually rename parts of itself as intregal parts of the OS, you could be sitting on a time bomb if not correctly removed. Certain files must be removed and repaired or replaced.
*How to repair:
1) If you can get to Safe Mode Screen, can access BIOS but not boot, odds are your HDD is okay.
Download Ubuntu Live, do not install but run live (do not install or you will overwrite your HDD) and you should be able to view your files and save them to an
external storage. Take everything you need and then reinstall OS.
Unfortunately programs cannot be transfered so be sure you have your installation discs. You can then transfer your files back.
*I am not a technician and only offer this as advice to look into, as I was told the same.
2) See a professional

Satellite M45 refuses to boot at all

Greetings! My Satellite M45 seems to be quite sick! It all started a while ago as the battery slowly died, and eventually, the laptop would refuse to go to the BIOS on the battery's power.
I ordered a new battery (which I am still waiting for) and continued to use the laptop on external power, but every now and then, it would refuse to boot on external power.
On pressing the power button, the "TOSHIBA on touch with tomorrow" screen comes up - albeit with a problem - then hangs (with the fan on). The problem (other than hanging) is that the screen is "displaced" to the left. Instead of filling the whole screen, the boot screen "ignores" the rightmost 2 inches and the bottom half inch, and is displayed in the remainder of the screen. Its a bit hard to explain...
This morning, its refusing to boot at all!
Any ideas? I've tried reseating the ram, powering on without battery, only on battery, I have removed all "extras", and am at quite a loss now!
I can't get to the bios menu either - so its highly frustrating!
Any help would be great!
Michele

I feel your pain. Saturday morning I awoke, came into my home office, sat down and pushed the on switch and the light around the switch came on, then 3 seconds later went off. Nothing!
I tried again and again, with battery, without, with power cord without. I called tech support, they had me repeat everything I had already done. My M45-S269 is now sitting across town at the authorized repair facility. Where it will presumably be repaired for only $95.00 per hour labor, plus parts. I imagine I'll loose the 1200 songs I have in iTunes and the several hundred photos from the past year. Best of luck to you.

Satellite M45-S165 New Battery won't charge past 25%

Hello,
This is a Satellite M45-S165 running Windows XP SP2.
I just put in a new battery from Technuity sold at Circuit City. Followed the instructions and let it charge for 10 hours before using it. The laptop was turned off while charging.
Turned on the laptop and Toshiba Power Saver said that the battery was only charged to 25%. It just won't let it charge any more than that.
I shut down TPS from the task manager and opened the Windows power meter on the control panel. After running on just the battery for a while I tried to recharge it. But the windows power meter is showing that the battery is charging, but that is stuck at 3%.
The battery is new, so any idea about what is keeping it from charging completely?
Thanks.

Hello
At first I must say that you have done everything correctly and this issue is probably not because of the battery (I hope you bought the right one). The question is is there some problem with power supply electronic.
You must understand that it is not easy to offer simply explanation to such issues and to find out what is wrong there it is necessary to run diagnostics program and check power supply electronic functionality.
This can be done by authorized service provider only. So you must make decision what to do. Make a call and ask them what can be the reason for this. Inform you what can be done with it. What else you can do?

Satellite M45-S355 and DVD Burning

I have a Satellite M45-S355 laptop and have never tried to burn DVDs until now. I know it has a Mat****a UJ-831s driver/burner.
I am not able to find any DVDs under 16x for their speed. How do I burn onto these types of DVDs?
When I even try to format a disc, etc, the computer says that CD/DVD-R are not supported by this version of DLA.
Any help would be great!

Hi
If you want to burn data on the DVD then I would recommend using an 3rd party software like Nero burning ROM
I use Nero and Im satisfied.
Furthermore I recommend checking the registry and to 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}
Last but not least you can use DVDs which can be burned with higher speed but I recommend burning the DVDs with the lowest speed I do it with 1x speed.
Cheers

Satellite M45-S331 - iLink Port not Working

My Toshiba Satellite M45-S331's iLink port is not working. I am trying to stream high quality video from my Sony Digital 8 DCR-TRV350 to my laptop, but the laptop does not read the camcorder when using the iLink cable. The cable is fine because my father's laptop can read the camcorder using the same cable. I went to device manager and it says that the IEEE 1394 Bus host controller is working, yet it won't read the camera. The laptop reads it just fine using USB. I contacted Sony and they told me to uninstall and reinstall the iLink capture card, but I am not completely sure how to do that or if it will even work. Has anybody else had similar problems, and if so how was it solved (if it was ever solved)? Thanks for any feedback.

Satellite M45-S331
they told me to uninstall and reinstall the iLink capture card, but I am not completely sure how to do that
Do it this way. In Device Manager (devmgmt.msc), right-click the 1394 Host Controller, and click Uninstall. Reboot Windows to reinstall it.
I too don't know whether that will solve the problem.

My Satellite M45-S169 Keeps restarting

I just got my computer [Satellite M45-S169] back from a friend who had it for 2 weeks and when i turn my computer on and it starts to load but then gos to the "we apologize for the incovenience, but Windows did not start properly" page. So i hit F8 and go to advanced settings and disable the restart on system failure. It starts to load but stops half-way and then goes to so weird blue screen that says
STOP: c0000218 {Registry File Failure}
the registry cannot load the hive (file):
\SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE
or its log alternate.
It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.
Beginning dump of physical memory
physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance.
I NEED HELP!!!

Satellite M45-S169
the registry cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE
Bad news. The Software hive is a vital branch of the registry. Without it, Windows will not run.
Unless you had provided in advance to restore the registry, you would need to be especially proficient technically to recover from this.
How to recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting
You will probably need to restore the hard drive to an earlier state.
Do you need to access important files first?

I cannot Install Toshiba Power Saver on my Satellite M45-S169 - Code: Ox7E

I cannot Install/reinstall/remove/run Toshiba power saver on my Satellite M45-S169. after I have reinstalled the system (now it is Windows XP Professional SP2). When I tried to open Power saver via control panel I got accessed denied and every time I reboot the system I get the error message:
Toshiba Power Save
A fatal error has occurred. This programme will be terminated.
Code: Ox7E
I cannot neither remove nor reinstall power saver. Can I try to run power saver for Windows XP SP2 applicable for other laptop models? I could not find the one for my model. Which one will fit? Any other solutions/advises to the problem?
Please, help
Thank you a lot, Oksana

Hi
First of all you have to known that this notebook was designed for the US market and all drivers, tools or any other Toshiba utilities should be used from the Toshiba US website.
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
Please ensure that you have already installed Toshiba ACPI Common Modules before you will continue with any further Toshiba software installation.
One important hint; the Toshiba power saver profile must be chosen in the Windows power options!!! Dont forget this!!!

Satellite L500 - System hanging on startup screen after Windows update

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help. My Satellite L500 is hanging on the blue startup screen after it restarted after a windows update, the mouse arrow is moving, and there seems to be some hard drive activity with some flickering in the system indicator lights. Other than that, nothing? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Denise

It was stuck on the Windows 7 welcome screen, all I had to do was hold the power button down for longer and restart it properly. I was just concerned as they always say not to turn the computer off during an update.
*All good now* thanks anyway :)

Satellite A660-18N hanging and needs hard reboot

My Satellite A660-18N hangs every other day about 2/3 times. I cannot press ctrl + alt + del and the mouse does not move. I have to hold down the power button to reboot it manually. It started about 2 weeks after I got it which was in September. I watch a lot of videos online (and offline) and usually after the screen freezes/hangs, the audio continues and stretches. I thought that this was a problem with IE8 so I switched to Google Chrome but this still continues. This problem also occurs offline. Also, after my laptop hangs, the fan speeds up so I thought it was an overheating problem. I bought a cooling mat a few days ago and the system still hangs. I'm not sure what to do now, can anyone help?
Intel core i7 q740 @ 1.73Ghz
4.00GB ram
64-bit OS
Windows 7
Nvidia Geforce 310M 512MB dedicated video memory

I'm having the same problem as the OP, with my A660-11M.
At the moment the display is freezing a few times every day and it's been like this for the last week. Before that, (almost) no problems for a few months after having similar problems.
So, it seems to be coming in bursts which is, needless to say, bizarre.
I too experiences it mainly while watching video (and similarly the audio would continue after the freeze) so I disabled Hardware Acceleration in the FlashPlayer settings after reading this post:
http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Video-Display/Toshiba-A660-Screen-Freeze/td-p/189944
But this didn't help.
Then I thought it might be Chrome, so I switched to Firefox 4.0.1 but this didn't help either.
Now, I have disabled the Flash plugin to see if that works - too early to say so far.
BTW, these days the crashing is occuring mostly when I am NOT playing video - although I don't play much video anyway.

Hi, I have Satellite M45-S355 laptop.
When i try to boot from cd.. It passed cd boot screen and starts windows normally.. DVD drive is working normally.. Reading CD's, DVD's..
And also i try to boot from external DVD - Drive.. But i didn't boot from that drive too.. And also i didnt boot from usb because this computer doesn't support usb boot :/
What can i do ? Don't say change your computer =)
I'm waiting your supports.. Please help me..
(But i also have to say that i was booting from cd/dvd drive.. But one years ago, my CD/DVD drive was not reading CD's only reading DVD's.. And i gave my computer to Toshiba and they changed DVD drive.. After they changed drive, the drive can read CD and DVD but now it can not boot from cd ) !

Hi
Possibly just this particular recovery disk cannot be read by the CD/DVD drive.
Copy/burn the Recovery disk to another disk which can be handled buy the CD/DVD drive.
I made good experience with TDK R disks.
Use another computer to copy this disk and then try to boot using this new disk
Good luck

No sound when playing video from iTunes on a Satellite M45

Hi,
After trying to play a video from iTunes on a Toshiba Satellite M45, the entire sound system went out. I think there is something wrong with the sound drivers or it/they can't be detected. I'm new to the PC world and any help in easy-to-understand terms will be grateful. Is there any destinations where I can download a new driver.
I need to fend off the insanity that's creeping in. Thanks.
Caden

Hi
I think you should firstly check the device manager if there are any yellow exclamation marks near to the sound card.
If yes so the sound driver reinstallation could help.
It seems that the notebook was designed for the US market. (because of the 5 at the end of the number)
So I think you should take a look on the US Toshiba site for driver updates.
