Satellite Pro M30 - cannot install sound driver

Hi
I have a Satellite Pro M30 which usaed to work fine but I can no longer install sound card drivers on it.
I THINK it has happened since we reinstalled windows XP Pro with SP2 but can not be certain.
It is trying to install the Sigmatel AVC97 drivers and comes up with the following error.
Invalid operating system parameter or this installer does not support this operating system
Any suggestions as there seems to be only one sound driver for the SPM30 family.

Nobody here have got a problems with sound driver installation just you
So is this not strange for you???
Either you did something wrong or its your windows XP issue.
Please note that the Toshiba driver page provides also the Installation Instructions
There you can find the right installation order!
Install your OS again and follow this instruction in this doc!

  • Satellite A40-151: Cannot install display driver from Intel site

    Trying to update display driver on the A40-151. Have downloaded latest driver from Intel which very helpfully states 'You cannot install this driver, please contact your vendor' no more clues.
    Toshiba site only seems to have the 6.13.10.3514 version which is the same as that which came with machine. Am I therefore stuck with no possible upgrades?
    The current driver seems not to be 100% compatible with Directx 9.0c * Sigh *

    Hi
    What Intel graphic card was installed on your notebook?
    Is it a Intel 852GME 16MB-64MB shared memory graphic card???
    I have found nice information on the Intel page and it seems that the graphic card hardware does not support the DirectX9 but only the DirextX7 and DirecttX8
    The graphic driver from the Intel page will not help you.
    Firstly you will be not able to install it because its not designed for the Toshiba notebook usage and secondly the hardware does not support it.
    But I give you one tip if you search for a earlier driver version.
    Some notebooks use the same graphic cards. Try to search for the driver in different notebook series with the same graphic card .
    But the new installation will nothing change. The DirectX 9 API is not supported

  • Satellite C850-19Z - cannot install display driver

    Hi
    I have had to reinstall my Toshiba Satellite C850 - 19Z ----- PSCBWE - 02400NEN
    with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
    The laptop uses Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU B830 @ 1.80GHz 1.80 GHz processor
    Everything has installed fine apart from the display driver.
    I downloaded the following file as my laptop is using an Intel Processor
    Intel Display Driver
    Version 8.15.10.2752
    display-20130924153144.zip4
    For model Satellite C850
    I found the file using the following drop down options on the Toshia website
    Satellite C850 PSCBWE Windows 7 64 Bit Display Driver United Kingdom English
    When I try to install the file I get the following error message:
    This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.
    I have checked the requirements in the readme file. The three requirements are:
    1.
    3rd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) processors
    2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 processor
    2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 processor
    2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 vPro(TM) processor
    2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 processor
    2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 vPro(TM) processor
    I am not sure which generation my processor belongs to but i'm assuming it is one of the above since this is the driver for my specific laptop.
    2. The software should be installed on systems with at
    least 1 GB of system memory.
    I have 4 GB of RAM and my system is showing 4 GB is installed.
    3. There should be sufficient hard disk space in the <TEMP>
    directory on the system in order to install this
    software.
    I have 270 GB of free space in my primary hard drive / partition which windows is installed into. The file defaults to extract in this hard drive / partition.
    I cannot figure out what the problem is with this installation.
    Please help!!!
    Thanks

    Hi
    As you said, the notebook was equipped with the Intel Celeron processor B830
    This CPU supports the Intel HD graphic chip as mentioned on the Intel ARK page:
    http://ark.intel.com/de/products/71141
    The driver can be downloaded also from Intel page:
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/
    Here choose:
    -Graphics drivers
    -Laptop graphics drivers
    -Intel Celeron Processors with Intel HD graphics
    Here you can download an zip package.
    Then you will be able to update or install the driver within the device manager.
    You can use the Advanced installation which will help you to point to the unzipped driver folder

    Hi
    What graphic card was installed in this oldie???
    I dont think that Toshiba provides any Win ME drivers for this unit and therefore you should Google in the internet for graphic driver.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - Cannot install software for USB 3.0 Expresscard

    I am trying to install an AKE USB 3.0 expresscard to a Toshiba Pro L300 running Windows 7. The laptop recognises the expresscard but the software does not install correctly so the unit will not work.
    Have tried the NEC & Fresco drivers supplied with the unit and also tried other drivers for AKE downloaded fron internet but still no joy.
    Has anyone ever loaded in software for a USB3.0 expresscard successfully? Will the laptop take USB 3.0?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    If the software doesnt install correctly try to contact card manufacturer and ask for help.

  • Satellite A100-590 - cannot install Display Driver for Win7

    I installed Win7 on my Satellite A100-590 (PSAA9E-03Z00QGR) today. Everything works fine exept for the display drivers.
    I downloaded the win7/32bit drivers from here: [here|http://at.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=AT&BV_UseBVCook ie=yes&PRODUCT_ID=115970] But when I try to install them, the files extract and then nothing happens.
    Anybody else have this problem or even better a solution? will any other drivers work on that laptop?
    edit: graphic card is a ATI Mobility Radeon X1600

    Extract the files into some new created folder. Open it and use setup.exe.
    What happen when you start it manually using setup.exe?
    You can also try to start setup in folder Bin.

  • Satellite Pro M30 graphics card not working when driver is installed

    Hi all,
    Im having problem with my nvidia Geforce FX Go5200, in a Satellite Pro M30 laptop, (Intel Pentium M processor 1.7 GHz, 512 Ram). This card was working fine suddenly the notebook stops.
    I have formatted the notebook and installed Win XP PRO. After installing the VGA driver I restarted the notebook but black screen started coming up right after the Win XP splash screen appears. The notebook continues to start up but no screen.
    It starts just fine in safe mode. I get my best screen by simply disabling the geforce card or uninstalling the driver. I tried to install a new driver for the VGA from the Toshiba download site but same problem appears. I have also tried updating BIOS but nothing happens.
    Anyone can help me?
    [email protected]

    It is very strange issue. It will be really interesting to know if this happen when you use delivered recovery installations CD.
    Anyway I presume there is some problem with LCD display. In safe mode the desktop is shown in lowers resolution but when OS starts the resolution will be adapted for standard one (1280x800) and obviously there is the problem.
    I am not technician but I recommend you to contact service partner. As far as I know they use special tools and programs for display tests. They can tell you more.

  • Satellite Pro M30, Is it recommended to install the new display driver from nVIDIA?

    I own a Satellite Pro M30 notebook, which includes a GeForce FX Go5200 GPU made by nVIDIA. On July 27, nVIDIA released a new driver and related software (version 61.77) which, as stated by nVIDIA, fits all its GPUs.
    I tried to install this new driver on my notebook (after removing the old driver as instructed by nVIDIA) but it does not install. Does somebody have any idea why?
    Why isn't the new driver posted on Toshiba's driver support site for this notebook?

    Hi
    All drivers are designed and tested for the notebooks and Tom is right about depending on notebook producer. That means that you can find all necessary drivers on Toshiba download page.
    As far as I know Toshiba supports the drivers delivered with the unit and updates drivers if needed.

  • Satellite Pro M30 Win 7 - webcam does not work on msn messenger

    Hi all
    I have a Satellite Pro M30 Modell Nr.: PSM35E and have just changed to Windows 7. But the Nvidia Card NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 Grafik mit 64 MB RAM does not work properly.
    I could find a driver from Vista and installed it, have Aero pics on the desktop, but my webcam does not work on msn messenger and this is the only way for me to see my family.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi
    Im a little bit confused; do you have some problems with the graphic card or with the webcam?
    I assume you are speaking about external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
    What happens if you connect the webcam to the notebook? Can Win 7 recognize the connected device? Did you install additional drivers for this webcam?
    In most cases its necessary to do that because I think its not plug & play device.

  • Need info about max HDD size available for Satellite Pro M30-813

    Hello,
    The following question is mainly to be addressed to authorized Toshiba support personnel. What exactly is the limitation of a maximum size of an internal HDD that I could use with my Satellite Pro M30-813?
    Recently, I have bought and installed seagate 160 GB SATA drive, onto which I have successfully installed WXP Pro and have been running it for quite a while with no problems. Recently, I have been copying large amount of data from an external hard drive to my new internal disk, and as the files were being copied as I noticed having about 50 GB free space left, I had experienced windows "delayed write failed" and a massive partition failure with no possibility to recover data. The system would no longer boot and the whole MBR was damaged. As the result, I have lost all data on my new disk.
    Although, I realize that Toshiba is not responsible for additional hardware that I use with my laptop and that is not officially supported by Toshiba, I am certain that as an end user of a Toshiba product I have the right to know about a max HDD size limitation information for my notebook model. Therefore, I request Toshiba technical support representative to give me a straight official answer to my question.
    Thank you in advance,
    Andrejs
    (You may also contact me privately at my e-mail address)

    Hi Andrew
    > The following question is mainly to be addressed to authorized Toshiba support personnel
    I think you are in the wrong area if you are looking for an answer from an authorized Toshiba support.
    This is a Toshiba user-to-user forum! You will meet here Toshiba notebook owner and enthusiasts who share knowledge and tries solve problems but nobody from Tosh :(
    I could provide my experience with the M30 Satellite and the HDD upgrade possibilities.
    In my knowledge the Sat M30 supports a 40GB, 60GB and 80GB HDD for sure.
    In my opinion you could use the 100GB HDD but bigger HDDs will not run and functions correctly.
    So switch to a lower HDD size and enjoy the notebook!
    Ive goggled a little bit and found compatible HDD and the part numbers
    HITACHI GBC000Z810 -> 80GB
    HITACHI GBC00014810 -> 80GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2188B -> 80GB
    HITACHI G8C0000Z610 -> 60GB
    HITACHI G8BC00013610 -> 60GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2183 -> 60GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2184 -> 60GB
    I hope this could help you a little bit!

  • Satellite Pro A40: Cannot play musik - searching for audio controller

    Hi
    I have a satellite pro A40, my DVD rom drive wont work anymore and I keep getting a message about searching for hardware for a multimedia audio controller!!!
    Cant play music or anything anymore.
    Can i download these drivers safely?
    Don't want to clog up computer with random downloads from internet.
    If anyone can help me I would eternally grateful

    hi satproa40,
    you can safely download all drivers for your satellite from: [http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]
    the "multimedia audio controller" means the sound driver,
    if previously installed it may help to delete this item in the device manager and let it reinstall by system.
    same procedure with the dvd-rom, if this wont work try to exchange the drive...

  • Keyboard not responding - Satellite Pro M30

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased a Satellite Pro M30. The keyboard has stopped responding completely. When I turn the laptop on and when it prompt me for login credentials I am just not able to enter it, nothing happens when the keys are pressed.
    I re-installed the unit using recovery CD but no luck. Interestingly, when I put laptop in stand-by mode, and when it comes back to normal mode, keys work for few seconds. Also if I kill the explorer.exe and launch new one, keys works for some time.
    Since keys are working when laptop comes out of standby mode, the keyboard is not completely dead/hardware failure. My OS is XP Pro SP2.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sanjay Kedare

    Hello
    The best way to check the functionality of the unit is to preinstall the unit with original recovery CD or DVD. Like I can see you have already done this.
    If the problem still persists I assume there is some hardware problem. I dont know if the unit is new one or used one but you should contact service partner in your country and explain them the situation. Valid warranty will cover all costs if some hardware part is defective and must be exchanged.
    Bye

  • What is the mainboard productnumber on Satellite Pro M30?

    Hello,
    I need the Productnumber from the mainboard for my Satellite. Modell Nr. : PSM35E-000NU-GR
    Thanks.

    Rocko your right number is notebook part number and number posted by Doc is part number for mainboard.
    All Satellite Pro M30 belongs to model number that begins with PSM35E and you can find it on Toshiba sticker at the bottom side.
    Start Google and put P000400260 as search term and check the results.
