Satellite Pro A300-1NT - need Vista 64-Bit drivers

Hello,
I bought the notebook Toshiba Satellite A300-1NT which came with Windows Vista 32-Bit pre installed and an XP Recovery Disc.
I bought the Vista 64-Bit Edition but I didn't find any drivers for Vista 64-bit on your website though it is 64-bit compatible.
How can I get them ?

Hi
It looks like the Vista 64bit drivers for A300 series are not available on the Toshiba European driver page at this time.
Therefore youve got two possibilities;
Either you will wait till such drivers will be released on the driver website or you will try to collect such drivers at your own hand.
You could search and try for example such single drivers released for another notebook series and could search also on website from chip manufacturers like Intel, Realtek, etc
Bye

  • Need newest driver for ATI Radeon 3650 - Satellite Pro A300-1NT

    Hello everyone,
    I am looking for the newest drivers for ATI Radeon HD 3650 onboard Satelite Pro A300-1NT.
    During playing Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) game by Beenox Inc ..... I get pixelized squares on tthe screen (instead of dust) and eventually blue screen.
    I am using Windows XP Pro
    I looked for drivers on *Toshiba website* and the only I found are:
    12/01/09 Display Driver ATI Windows XP 8.477
    *Game support* suggests upgrading driver for a newer one.
    *Ati manufacturer support* have driver for ATI Radeon 8650 but not compatibile with Mobile Solution - and when asked for Mobile Ati support I got the ansfer:
    +AMD Customer Care for ATI products does not provide direct technical support for laptops/notebooks at this current time (telephone or email). If you require direct technical support please contact the system manufacturer of your laptop/notebook.+

    I ask then are there newest drivers for Windows XP

    Hi
    I think you have already answered this question by yourself...
    As you wrote you can get all drivers on the Toshiba website and if there isnt a newer driver available you can nothing more I think. Satellite A300 isnt a high performance gaming notebook so I think display drivers are not so important.
    The only way to get a newer version is that you search on external websites. Maybe you can get the desktop driver working due some modifications I dont know but be really careful!!! Other drivers dont have an overheat protection and you could destroy the graphic chip. Be really careful what you do.
    Alternative you can search on the Toshiba website for other notebook models with ATI card too. Maybe there you can get a newer version

  • Satellite Pro A300-2CW - Need Recovery disks with Windows XP

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 2CW. I bought it with Software Windows XP (included in a CD), which worked perfectly for years. I have reinstalled it several times during this years, but now the CD has deteriorated and it doesn't work anymore.
    Originally the machine had WIndows Vista installed with DVD recovery creation option and a HDD recovery option, but I think this is not possible for Windows XP.
    Do I have any options?Where could I buy the original Windows XP CD?
    Thank you

    Hi
    You can try to order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    Other way you can install own WXP version. All WXP drivers, tools ad utilities can be downloaded from Toshiba download page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  • Need Vista 64-bit drivers for Satellite Pro P100

    Hello,
    I have one question about Drivers for Vista 64bit version. I have a notebook Satellite Pro P100 and search in the drivers catalogue and find only a BIOS update for 64-bit systems.
    But where can I find the Hardware drivers for 64-bit versions?
    Regards
    Mischa

    The 4 GB RAM issue is a known issue at the toshiba helpdesk (yes I had it and called) it's due to a problem programming the BIOS to handle more then 3GB.
    As for your drivers I can tell you in advance you can find everything except SD Card driver and the microphone jack in plug support driver.
    I'm sorry I forgot where I found those but the rest is out there (you can also try installing 32-bit version for the most).
    Ow and the BIOS - update for 64 bit doesn't work for me so don't count on it to much lol

  • Need Vista 64-bit drivers for Geforce Go 7900 gs for Satellite P100-437

    Hi,
    I just installed Vista 64 and the vista driver on the site is not recognised by windows and Nvidia doesn't have a driver available on their site either. It is for a Toshiba P100-437 satellite laptop, running a Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GS graphics card.
    What do I do? Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

    Toshiba does not provide any 64bit drivers; neither for Vista nor for XP.
    I would recommend checking the 3rd party sites like;

    Because it comes "stock" from the factory with a 2GB stick of RAM in each of the two available slots, maybe?
    Or am I misunderstanding the question?

  • Satellite Pro A300 - WiFi is 50% slower on XP than on Vista

    I noticed that WiFi transfer is slower on Windows XP Pro than with original Vista installed on the same machine.
    I tested the issue on Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-1NT - is it possible or my Toshiba is not working propely?

    I dont feel I have already checked - btw I have got 2 same models of A300-1NT
    the one with XP recovered and second one with Vista onboard - the speed I have checked on different speedtesting websites (like speedtest.pl or dsl.cz) and I can feel the difference downloading te same things as well.
    After recovering XP from original CD with SP3 installed or without SP3 the result was clear - 50%.
    The system is clean with no additional band - consuming activities.
    I have checked RJ Ethernet connection and there was no such issue.
    i upgraded Wlan directly from intel website with noo results.
    I use 802.11g standard with more aggresive settings than default.

  • Satellite Pro A300-1A8 Vista system restore not working

    I wanted to use system restore due to attempting to reconfigure administrator rights, its somehow deleted all my shortcuts on my menu and messed about with a few things.
    However when i try to use system restore (i have attempted to use it in safe mode, via cmd promp, both together and normal boot), yet all seem to stay hanging in the same green page where it reads something along the lines of 'system is initialising restore etc' (spending 45 mins on this page before i get fed up and shut down the computer). I have tried using different restore points but the same occurs. It like its not working at all.
    Can anyone help with this please?
    My laptop is a Satellite Pro A300-1A8.

    Hi
    You mean the Vista tool which can be found in (Start button -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore) does not work and you cannot set back the Vista to the early time point?
    Well, usually there is no much to do to restore the OS to the early time point you have to star the system restore tool and have to choose the restore point. Then everything should run automatically.
    If this doesnt work then something is messed up as you said in your posting above somehow deleted all your shortcuts on my menu and messed about with a few things possibly the OS has been messed to.
    Try to clean the OS using the free software for example CCLeaner. I use it too. Its great. Repair and clean the OS and check if its possible to use the system restore tool again.
    I found also this MS page:
    [System Restore: frequently asked questions|http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/517d3b8e-3379-46c1-b479-05b30d6fb3f01033.mspx#EIEAC]

  • Cooling behavior after BIOS Flash - Satellite Pro A300

    Hello everybody,
    I have two laptops, Satellite Pro A300 and Satellite A300. Both have the same configuration, C2D E8300,2GB,ATI 3650 512MB and so on.....
    Today I flashed BIOS to the latest version (from V3.90 to V4.20) on both of them. On the version 3.90 cooling was OK, fan worked only when it was necessary. But now after flashing the BIOS fan works permanently, it does not stop.
    What I did make, in Vista's Power Options under Toshiba Power Saver I changed the Cooling Method from Maximum Performance to Battery Optimized, the cooling reversed to the normal operation, but the cover (keyboard area) became hot a little bit.
    My question is, what is the problem with cooling in the new version (v4.20)? And how to solve this problem?
    Again, problem didn't exist before BIOS flashing and the problem is on both computers.
    Thank you for your help!
    Best regards,
    Osman

    Hi mate
    Thanks for the feedback
    > So what do you recommend me, to stay on Battery Optimized mode? Generally speaking, what's the difference between Maximum Performance and Battery Optimized modes in Power Saver?
    Usually its advisable to use the Battery Optimized mode only when the AC adaptor is not connected to the notebook and the notebook uses only the battery power.
    In such case the notebook does not waste the power using Battery Optimized mode and you could use the notebook much longer using battery only.
    Using Battery Optimized mode the CPU and cooling modules run with lowest performance and the CPU does not create high heat dissipation.
    This leads to a lower internal temperature and lower usage of cooling modules.

  • Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9C-01500Y - FSB question

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on possibly upgrading my new [Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9C-01500Y|http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en&section=1&group=1&product=8270&p art=8813#spectop] to a different model.
    I do not use this system for gaming or anything like that, mostly Office 2007, web browsing, media and programs like Photoshop and Dreamweaver. Nothing too high end.
    My model has 800MHz, but after looking at a few different models I see that for $100 or so I can get a higher FSB speed (1066MHz) Like the model [PSAG9C-01J00Y|http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en&section=1&group=1&product=8270&p art=9131#spectop] which has a little faster CPU as well.
    One of the things I have noticed as well is the max Ram for my system is 8GB and most others are only 4GB. I will not be using 64 bit windows, so it doesn't matter anyway.
    I would mainly like to know if it is worth worrying about the FSB. I understand how FSB works and what it does, I am just not sure if i need to worry about it.
    Any advice or suggestions are most welcome.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi
    In your case the FSB speed is not really important if you want to use your notebook only for Office 2007, web browsing or webdesign.
    The higher FSB is useful if you want to use high performance memory modules with higher speed.
    For example; youve got FSB of 533Mhz and memory modules of 800Mhz the inserted memory modules would NOT run at 800Mhz because the lower FSB would slow down the memory speed.
    But as I said a higher FSB is not really important if you dont use the notebook for high-end gaming.

  • Satellite Pro A300-28R: slow boot and freezing on Explorer/Internet

    I have recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-28R and I am quite disappointed about the performance.
    1) From the specs it looks like a decent laptop but with booting time of about 3 minutes, "please wait" it is surely not impressing me given the fact that i have not installed anything yet...
    2) I will try to uninstall applications like tempro but still I am puzzled by the slow reaction on internet pages.
    For example when i go on google and start typing something most of the times the cursor freezes and i have to wait a few seconds before I am able to see what i am typing.
    I have only bought it last Friday and I have not used much but surely a bit of a disappointment so far.
    Any ideas why the cursor freezes on google or on the internet explorer toolbar?
    for info i am using Vista Business OS and Internet explorer
    any help welcome

    Hello
    About slow boot you can read very interesting and useful thread under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
    I hope this will help you to understand why this can happen.
    After first start you can be faced with this behaviour. Few days updates will be downloaded and installed in the background and you will notice high HDD activity. These activities can slow down notebook performance and what you can notice is this slow typing reaction or freezing video play.
    So my advice is to disable automatic updates and set it when updates are available you should get notification but you can start it manually. These all possible vista updates installation is for me big mistake because if you check available updates many of them are optional and some of them are driver updates (3 of them) these updates must not be installed.
    Maybe you should install recovery image again. don't connect it to internet and do what is described in posted thread. After optimizing preinstalled OS change settings for Windows update and connect it to internet. Check list of available updates and install important and recommended stuff only.
    I do always so and I am happy with my Satellite P200 and new A300. Both of them runs well and I am satisfied with performance.

  • Satellite Pro A300-1GT - Error message when starting webcam

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-1GT. The problem is that the camera does not work. When I start software it writes that I should restart camera or computer. I'm having Windows 7 and I serched the internet for solutions but I find just a discusions with the same problem without solutions.
    Sory for may bad English.

    Hi
    The cam is not listed in device manager; neither as unknown device nor as USB device?
    Well, I read here in the forum that internal webcam is connected to the USB controller on the motherboard and sometimes the connection is loose and therefore the cam cannot be recognized by system.
    I think in such case the notebook needs to be disassembled and the connection should be checked. But this seems to be a job for technicians

  • Satellite Pro A300 crashes with blank screen

    I have a Satellite Pro A300, AMD CPU, ATI graphics, Vista.
    The system worked fine for a year but a few months ago it started crashing, the screen went blank, not blue, anything running, like music, stopped. This can happen after several hours or minutes, or even whilst it is re-booting. All my software is up-to-date, both from Microsoft and Toshiba. I have rebuilt my system from scratch and the symptoms came back.
    At first I thought this might be a heat problem but I have monitored this but I don't think this is it. It has crashed seconds after leaving sleep mode when it has not had a chance to warm up.
    Anybody got any ideas?
    Simon

    Hi buddy,
    Theoretically it could be an overheating problem so the screen went blank due built in overheat protection...
    You should try to clean your notebook using compressed air spray. This could blow out the dust from the cooling ventilators and therefore its not necessary to disassemble the notebook.
    In your case I would recommend reading this article:

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300 - DVD drawer does not open most of the time

    I have a Satellite Pro A300-1NH laptop. The DVD drawer does not open most of the time. Occasionally it does, but most of the time it does not.
    Sometimes if I manage to get a DVD/CD into the drawer to burn something to, the burn works.
    Most of the time the computer does not recognise that there is a disc there, and then I can't open the drawer again to get it out.
    Can anyone tell a novice what I need to do to sort this out please?

    Have you noticed this when you try to open drawer using eject button in the drawer itself?
    Almost every player has integrated eject button. Can the drawer be opened using this eject button?
