Vista Ultimate installation on Satellite L650-1MM

Hi,
I bought my Toshiba laptop some time ago and it came with Win7 Home Premium.
Now I want to downgrade to Vista ultimate... Im not quite sure about the drivers as there is non under support drivers in here... any info if it would work?

I have checked Toshiba support page and you are right. There is no support for Vista OS.
To be honest Im really wondering that you want to do such downgrade. It is well known that Win7 runs better than older Vista, especially on Vista machines. I have upgraded several older Satellite notebook models originally delivered with Vista.
Maybe you can use some Win7 drivers, tools and utilities. Test it.
By the way: what is the reason for such downgrade? I mean I cannot imagine you are not satisfied with Win7. Try to obtain Win7 ultimate version and install it. in my opinion it is best solution for you.

  • Satellite L650-1MM - Video display issue

    Greetings from Finland.
    So, about a month ago I bought this laptop of mine, Satellite L650-1MM, and I've been wondering what the heck is the problem with video display. Dunno for sure is it a problem with the hardware or just something with the computers settings. I mean, even on youtube, I got so pixelated image when watching some 720p HD videofootage, that it hurts. Here's some evidence: [http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/6623/youtubena.jpg] And yes, I got the latest Flash Player plug-ins and all, so that couldn't be it.
    And maybe, possibly, when I watch some ********** movies, tv-series or something, they all looke so pixelated. And I know that there's codecs and all, but I'm positive, that I got all that handled. As a matter of fact, in the beginning I had worse video display, but with codecs I got it a little better. Still, I'm far from satisfied. Now, I've heard that there might be some problems with Windows 7 and video display, but you know, can't be sure.
    So, basically I'm here to rule out the possibility, that there might be some problem with the hardware. Could there be? The screen looks just fine, when normally idling and for example surfing the net, but streaming videos or watching some videos, oh man, oh man, it's so pixelated. I got the latest display drivers from Toshiba, BIOS-drivers too. Would it be any help, if I got the latest drivers straight from AMD's site (Ati Mobility Radeon HD 5650)? Does that even work? I mean when Toshiba updates their own display drivers and all, and very rarely what I've heard.
    Here's my laptops specs:
    Satellite L650-1MM
    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
    BIOS-version 1.80
    Intel Core i5 CPU M460 @ 2.53 GHz
    4096MB RAM
    HDD ~600GB
    Ati Mobility Radeon HD 5650 version=8.723.2.0
    15"6, 1366x768
    True Color (32-Bit)
    Conexant Audio Driver For AMD HDMI Codec version=4.98.26.0
    So please, If there's any hint you can give me, I would very much appreciate it!
    edit.
    Also, just remembered, that I had one more problem. When connecting HDMI to my 40" HDTV, and when I close my laptop screen, the sound starts to bug, and in some cases video too. So I have to keep my laptop screen open, so I can watch movies without any sound or video problems. What's with that?

    Hi
    Please take a look to the settings called Choose what closing lid does. This can be found in the control panel -> power options
    On the left you can see this option.
    There you should choose Do nothing.
    Furthermore in Advanced Power settings you can find the option called Multimedia settings
    There is a suboption called When playing video. Both settings should be set to Optimize video quality
    check it out!

  • 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 :(

  • Vista Ultimate Installation

    Whenever I try to install Vista Ultimate on my Mac Pro it always goes to a BSOD after it gets to the "completing installation" step. It happens wether I install the 32bit or the 64bit. Any ideas on why it is doing this?

  • 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.

  • Installation Flash cs3 with Windows Vista Ultimate

    I am trying to use Flash on Windows Vista Ultimate.
    Installing the program tells me a mistake "error in the
    installation component". I have tried to install in administrator
    mode and windows account manager
    Can anyone tell me how to install Flash for suite cs3?

    I would download a new installer, you can get the trial
    installer, then just enter your serial when you first run it.
    Sounds like a corrupt exe. But yes, make sure and run as
    Administrator by right clicking the file.

  • I cannot connect to the Internet after installation of Windows Vista Ultimate edition.

    I cannot connect to the Internet after installation of Windows Vista Ultimate edition. For some odd reason, it seems my ethernet has not yet been installed to my operating system and I do not know how to do that even with the internet, I have the LAN cable hooked up to my computer but I do not know exactly what to do about it. Is there some sort of driver I need to install, or what? How do I do that without the internet?
     This operating system is on a separate partition to my other operating system that is connected to internet already (Windows Vista Premium) that I do not wish to use anymore because of it's corruption. I tell you this because you may know a way of finding the driver files on my previous operating system that I may be able to transfer to the other.

  • Unknown devices after Vista installation on Satellite Pro U200

    I installed vista ultimate yesterday, but unfortunately my U200 is not as vista compatible as the sticker would make me believe.
    Non functioning items I've identified so far:
    - Speakers and Headphone jack
    - Function Keys
    - Fingerprint Reader
    Almost none of the included toshiba software installs even after turning "Application control security off"
    Does anyone know where I can get the new drivers and software or when they will become available?
    Otherwise really liking Vista. It is very responsive and simplifies many tasks. It looks nice too, but thats not my priority.
    Any help gratefully received
    Cheers

    This might help others having similar problems. I have been able to get evrything to work except my shortcut keys.

  • Rescue Vista Ultimate SP1 64 bit Bootcamp Installation as Hard Drive Fails

    I have been using a Bootcamp installation of Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit retail since May 2008 without a problem. Vista was installed (accidentally) on two drives, both of which are separate from the two Mac OS drives. I would have preferred to install it on only one drive, and thought that I had done so.
    All my Windows documents and programs are on Drive C (Bay 2), which appears as a Master Boot Record Partition in Disk Utility. Drive D (Bay 3) contains some of the Vista files (including the Boot directory and bootmgr), but nothing else, and appears as a GUID Partition Table in Disk Utility.
    I have now begun to receive an S.M.A.R.T. warning that Disk D is failing. It was backed up last week before the warning to a Windows Home Server, but no longer backs up. I would like to replace Drive D with a brand new drive, but know from past experience that Vista will not boot if I simply remove Drive D. Aside from the Vista boot content, there is nothing on drive D that I need.
    How should I best proceed to avoid losing programs/data on drive C when replacing drive D? Should I remove drive D, and try to boot from the Vista Ultimate SP1 retail CD to "repair" drive C? Is there some other approach that would avoid having to start from scratch with a new Vista installation?
    Starting from scratch is very unattractive. The initial installation of Vista was a difficult chore that involved "cleaning" the brand new hard disk from the Vista CD (with Microsoft support), since it would not install on the Bootcamp-formatted drive. In addition, Drive C has software and documents that I use regularly and would rather not have to recreate.
    Many thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    So you do have at least one good backup. And you have used Vista file and PC backup as well, so you could do a restore if needed?
    Whatever you do, I would pull all your drives and drop in one or two fresh drives.
    I've never felt comfortable or safe with Acronis - doesn't support GPT.
    Prosoft DataBackupPC 1.0 - used to use for backups but never did a restore.
    Paragon HD Manager 2009 - seems to have a lot of tools but someone said it doesn't yet have full Mac and Boot Camp support.
    My system is Vista and Windows 7 on one drive, data and such on #2 and multiple backup drives - one internal and a couple hot swap external.
    SMART is not very good at predicting and you are at the point where what? I/O errors? bad or weak sector(s)? have you ever used the disk check to repair files and attempt to fix any bad blocks?
    Depending on the make of the drive, you want to use the vendor's utility - often before even using a drive - to do a full surface scan and repair.
    I remember when you had trouble installing.
    Oh, and I would make a new backup. Even if it means pulling your OS X drive and dropping a new drive in there, and make it a backup of programs, files, documents, whatever, and maybe a system image backup.
    Can you restore from the server? while booted from Vista DVD?
    I have a somewhat similar problem with a drive "D" with nothing on it now that is "owned" by Vista that I want to get rid of and strip so I can use it for backup or something else.... but afraid to.

    I have already downloaded most of them but I can't find some like [2] Intel ICH7M Chipset Utility, [11] Intel Kedron Wireless LAN Driver, [23] TOSHIBA Speech System. Also some of the drivers are not installing properly.
    Can you please help me out.

    The chipset driver you can get on the Intel webiste
    www.intel.com
    But I think the driver could also be in the display driver because its the same chip.
    The WLAN driver I have found on the Toshiba website so download and install it.
    The speech system could be integrated in the sound driver.
    But download and install all drivers and the system will work.
