Satellite Pro A100 - Can't install sound driver

Hello,
Hope someone can help, I'm having trouble getting a sound driver to work, I've tried quite a few different drivers now and none seem to work.
I've tried all the drivers off the Toshiba driver download site with no luck. I'm still left with a yellow question mark in device manager. (Satellite Pro A 100) During the installation the window appears that i must instull MICROSOFT BUS DRIVER BEFORE this audio drive r(Realtek HDA for XP).
Where can I get this driver(Appreicate if someone could point me in the right direction), or somebody can give me another usefull advice?
Appreciate any help
Thanks.

I think this is a known issue.
Sometimes its useful to search in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. There I had found these interesting documents:

Its very important to install these hotfixes before you install the driver.

Satellite U405D-S2874 - Can't install sound driver on Windows XP

Hi! I am from Russia! I need your HELP!
I try to install Win XP on Toshiba Satellite U405D-S2874! All drivers work, but SOUND NO WORK!
Give me driver for SOUND on Win XP!

To be honest its a little bit strange to understand your question...
Can you hear sound at the moment?
Have you tried to update DirectX? Look on the Microsoft website for an update.
In my opinion the best way would be if you run the factory settings. Just boot from the Toshiba recovery disk and follow the screen instructions thats all! All drivers and tools will be installed automatically.
However, you could try to update the BIOS and sometimes I can read in the forum that SP3 is not compatible with all drivers. Maybe you should try a downgrade to XP SP2.

Satellite Pro A200 - Can't install Windows 7 due missing CD/DVD driver

Hello, I have a Satellite Pro A200, PSAE4E-046018N5 and I'm trying to install Windows 7 but I can't pass from step one because it doesn't found a driver:
A message box saying: A required CD/DVD drive devise driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
-What to do?
CD-ROM is a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA, the actual driver have version 6.0.6002.18005 (date:2006-06-21)
Best regards

Hi Peter,
Do you try an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 at the moment? If yes please try a new and clean installation of Windows 7. Does this work?
Another question: Is your CD/DVD drive working properly or is it listed with yellow exclamation mark in device manager?
In your case I would try to remove the drive from device manager and restart the notebook. After this the drive will be recognized automatically.

Satellite Pro L500 - Can't install Realtek LAN driver

Hi All,
I have recovered a Satellite Pro L500 Windows 7 pro with disc created from notebook, but now can't install a Realtek LAN driver for the notebook.
The software driver installer dosn't seem to run correctly all the time, have tried several times to install, with only once a realtek "repair" option becoming available.
When I did manage to install driver I got a error "device failed to start". after recovery I also had problems with a "PCL simple communications controller driver",
which seems to have been a Intel MEI according to the VEN, DEV info displayed in systems info.
Are these problems related and how do I Install the required driver in a automated system if the system won't detect the hardware correctly?

Have downloaded from many sources the correct driver, but the motherboard or the OS is not discovering the network adaptor so even if the driver is installed the divice is not recognised as being there(physically installed). when installing the driver software i get the error from the realtek installer "Realtek network controller was not found. If in deep sleep mode is enabled please plug the cable". have no idea what or how deep slee is enabled and have reset bios settings to default and have reset cmos.

Satellite Pro M70 - Can't install Toshiba Power Saver Driver

Hi, I can't install toshiba power saver driver on my laptop because instalation crashes with error 1610: The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel. I tried more versions of power saver driver. I got latest official chipset driver..Know somebody how to fix that?
My second problem is with battery, my laptop running on battery for max 10 minutes (i got my laptop 2 years) and i dint using battery supply often. Can battery loose so much capacity in 2 years even if i used to my battery once a week?
Sorry for english and thx for reply

I believe you must not install this driver, only Power saver utility only.
What to say about battery? In my opinion it is possible. In my opinion the battery life time cannot be defined so easy.
Some batteries run well after 3 years of usage and some of them are death after one year only.

Satellite Pro L510 - Can't install and start Intel Link 5100

Hi,
I have a Satellite Pro L510 (P/N:PSLFML-002004). Recently, I have updated my WLAN to Intel Link 5100 (my original WLAN is Realtek RTL8191SE). I've tried Windows 7 32bit and 64bit with intel driver, version 13.4 and 13.5, non of them has worked so far. I always get this error "This device cannot start" from Device Manager
Can anyone help me with this problem, please?
Duy

Hello
> My old WLAN works normally before the upgrades
So I think this WLAN card is not compatible. Not all WLAN cards are compatible with all notebooks. I think this also depending on the mainboard and BIOS
Installing another WLAN card will not improve the range or speed. For example if you use draft N you have 300 Mbps with every WLAN card and the WLAN range is depending on the WLAN antennas and not WLAN card itself.
In your case I would install the old one and be happy with it ;)

Satellite Pro S300L - Can I install Windows 7?

Can I install windows 7 on my Satalite pro s300L if so which version 32 or 64 Bit?

Hello
First of all you can install what you want.
Why?
Its your notebook and you can do what you want with it! ;)
In my opinion its depending on the RAM which version you should install If you use 4GB or more RAM, choose the 64bit version. Otherwise 32bit is enough and therefore you can get all drivers here:

Re: Satellite Pro C50 - Can't install Windows 8

Hi.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro c50 with Windows 7 preinstalled.
It comes with 2 DVD's containing Windows 8.
I have tried to upgrade to Windows 8 (following the instructions included in the manual: BIOS changes, etc) but I cant install it.
After booting from the DVD, it doesnt appear the Windows 8 install utility, but the Windows 7 recovery options .
Could you please help me?
Thanks in advance,
Sergio

Exactly the same problem.
Toshiba Portege R-930.
Comes with Win 7 preinstalled and 2 CDs with image of Win 8 (Win 8 sticker on bottom of the laptop).
Followed the directions in the leaflet to upgrade to Win 8 (change in BIOS, etc.) like the user above.
It gets only to a blue screen with two options:
1) Toshiba recovery - a frightening black screen with warning that every data will be lost) and
2) System recovery, getting nowhere but to "switch off computer".
At one point got the message that the disc is locked.
Gave up, returned safely to Win 7.
If someone could explain how to do this properly,
Thanks
Ket

Re: Satellite Pro U200 - Can't install HDD protection Utility?

hi
Knows somwonw why I cannot install:
18/08/08
HDD Protection Utility
Toshiba Windows Vista 32 Bit 2.0.0.7 World Wide
on my Satellite Pro U200 PLUA1E-02802QS4 with Vista Business 32-bit?

All Toshiba stuff available on download page is the same as in recovery image.
All tools are tested and I don't see any reason why you should not be able to install this utility.
Is some error message shown?

Satellite Pro P200 - Can't get sound to work

Hi, since I've had this laptop I've not been able to get the sound to work. Have tried turning the volume off and on from the ESC key and the master volume control looks fine. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!

Hello Wayne
Please don't be mad on me but whole story is somehow strange. Why?
>since I've had this laptop I've not been able to get the sound to work
This cannot be the truth. Every notebook is preinstalled with Toshiba recovery image and recovery image is designed for your notebook model. That means, with factory settings everything MUST work well.
So questions are:
Do you still use factory settings or own preinstalled OS?
Do you use Vista?
Can you hear sound using headset?
Please offer a little bit more info.

Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE: cannot install ATI display driver

Hi all,
I have experienced a series of problems with my Mobility Radeon X1400 graphics card that I'm sure could be resolved by downloading the latest drivers. This I have to do from the Toshiba website as the ATI website offers no support for it. But I have experienced multiple problems downloading the file archive.
It always says that there is an error: "Header error... (missing or corrupt)" and it asks me to redownload the file, I've done this three times now with the same results, I'm starting to get a little frustrated- can somebody +please help+. I have noticed that the downloaded (and useless) file is smaller (by over 50%) than the intended size-- I don't know if that helps at all...
Pre-emptive thanks if you can help me with this problem.

Hi
What to say I have noticed that the drivers download server is very slow. Looks like an overload possibly all the packages would not transmitted correctly and therefore this error message appears.
I know that this could be very frustrating and I really understand you because I have tried to download other driver and the performance is really slowly but I dont see any other solution as trying to download the graphic driver package again
Good luck buddy

Satellite M70-CLI - Can't install display driver or SM Bus Controller

Hello,
I have a Satellite M70-cli PSM73C-CL100E and I got a new hard drive and loaded Windows xp. I went to the Toshiba website and downloaded and installed all of the drivers. I didn't have any problems with the atheros wifi drivers, or sound, modem or chipset. I also updated the bios to v2.10 all with success.
The problem is with the video card. I used the program from huntersoft and know that the chipset is an ATI. Also it said its a ATIradeon xpress 200m with 128MB DDR shared video. When I try and install the ATI driver it says setup was unable to complete the installation. Try to setup your display adapter with a standard vga driver.
I have spent hours pouring over the net. I have tried the ATI L30 XP driver and it does the same thing. I have tried the ATI radeon xpress 200m driver and it says hardware not found. I don't have the original CD's. I know that it works as the old drive worked fine. Unfortunatly I wiped it as well to put in an older laptop. I should have got the drivers off of it. :(
Does any one have any idea? This is driving me crazy! Thanks for any help. Marilyn

I guess I should have been more specific.
I always install the chipset first and then the display driver.
I did only use the toshiba driver. If you read the post I said that it comes up with an error message that setup was unable to complete the installation and try to setup you display adapter with a standard vga driver.
I did install sp3 first before the drivers. I also updated the bios ( after I had trouble). I tried 3 times with the toshiba driver and then tried the ati xpress 200m.
The installation on that driver halts with a no video hardware found for this driver.
The only thing I can think of is that somehow the video card has become damaged. It doesn't make sense as it was working perftecly before the hard drive upgrade.
I am trying to get this laptop ready for a donation. I volunteer as a tech for a computer company.
We donate laptops and computers to people in need of help looking for jobs,ect.
Thanks for any help. Worse case senario is that I give them the laptop any way. It still works, just not that great of display.

Satellite Pro A100 (PSAAPE) Win XP Modem Driver

I have rebuilt an A100 (PSAAPE) recently with Windows XP (SP2) and after downloading all of the drivers from the Toshiba downloads site I have installed everything OK apart from the internal modem.
When I run the setup it appears to install OK but when I check device manager there is still a PCI device that needs installing and it's definitely the modem as there is no modems currently installed. Please can someone let me know how I can install the modem in this laptop as I have tried everything I can think off.
Thanks
Martin.

I called Toshiba yesterday and that's exactly what they suggested, I was a bit sceptical about it but
after going through the list including a large number of hotfixes! I came to the audio drivers install
and after installing the software and rebooting, the system detected an audio modem and then installed
the modem drivers as well!!! so I was able to resolve the issue but it did take a while to install
everything!!
Thanks
Martin.

Satellite Pro A100 - Where can I find the ethernet controller driver?

I recently changed my operating system from Vista to XP and I am not able to find a the necessary driver for the ethernet controller in my Satellite Pro A100 PSAAPE.
Does anyone know where I can get this driver from?
Thanks!

Hi!
You can install the driver if go to device manager and select the Ethernet card. Right click on it and select update driver. Choose the advanced installation where you can choose the driver directory yourself.
Then you can install the driver! :)
