need suggestions for operating system change issues

[Guest deb]

I have read many posts about changing from Vista to XP-Pro on different

Toshiba laptops, however I've tried most suggestions to no avail. I'm

looking to see if anyone can point me in the right direction so I can get

back the use of my USB flashdrive? Most of the drivers came back once I

went to Driver Detective but I still have several that unidentified. I've

been to Tohiba's website and downloaded an earlier version for the USB

driverer and it will not install on my system. The items not working

properly is 1) power management settings to let the computer

hibernate or sleep 2) USB connection to see a flashdrive 3) the good clear

display settings.

 

Any help would be appreciated....Thanks

If you want to change from Vista to Windows XP then you must do a full

installation of Windows XP.

You need to perform a clean install of the XP Pro..meaning wipe out the Hard

drive (Complete format) and install the XP on new created Partition(s) and

also try to get the drivers from the Laptop manufacturer website for XP pro

(32Bit or 64?).

NOTE: don't install the drivers for your hardware from Microsoft, only from

your Manufacturer website and specific for your Operating system Version.

So you did a clean install of XP Pro on your laptop, yes? You need to go to

Toshiba's website and get the chipset driver(s) for your model, for Windows

XP, and all the other stuff (video driver, etc). This isn't really an XP

issue as drivers are the responsibility of the hardware manufacturer. You

should make sure that Toshiba has XP drivers for this laptop before doing an

installation of XP.

Re: need suggestions for operating system change issues

 

I did do a full install from a clean harddrive and this is the result.

 

I did go to Toshiba website and it tells me there are no drivers available

for XP, that's my problem. I was able to get most of the drivers from driver

dective but the ones I'm having issues with I can't seem to find.....

Deb

This just a guess and it may be not work or it may be will work!

I done a search on Toshiba website and got the link for the nearest match to

your Serises Laptop. Try to download it and install it and see if that will

help.

If it didn't then your way back to Vista is the only answer.

Download drivers:

http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

 

Satellite A Serises

Model Satellite A110 (PSAB6)

 

Let us know if this worked for you and solved your issue.

Re: need suggestions for operating system change issues

 

Your simplest course of action would be to stay with Vista. If you insist on

using WinXP then you can do this:

- Run Aida32.exe (http://www.aumha.org/freeware/freeware.php#aida32) do

identify the names and models of your various devices.

- Get on to http://www.driverguide.com to locate drivers for these devices.

Re: need suggestions for operating system change issues

 

Thanks for the info....I did run aida32 and unfortunately it came back and

said the chipset was unknown as well as the CPU type....so I guess I'm just

out of luck. I did learn that as long as I don't have a flashdrive plugged

in right next to my usb plug for the wireless mouse my usb can read my

flashdrive....strange problem it can see them side by side but at least

there's a work around there....now if I can just get my hibernate/program

sleep modes back i'd actually be quite happy.....if not it still runs much

better with XP than it ever dreamed of doing with Vista....I'm glad I got rid

of the OS and wish Mr. Gates would do the same.....

While you might be able to find XP drivers for much third-party equipment

(printers, etc.), if the drivers for the manufacturer's hardware (USB ports,

screen, etc.) are not available, you're completely out of luck. The drivers

simply do not exist. Anywhere. Probably.

Re: need suggestions for operating system change issues

 

Sounds like the 2 USB ports are tied to the same USB root hub. Not enough

power for both when used on same root hub as the mouse. Check device

manager.
