P205-S6267 satellite... XP? Heres where im at...

oooops it's the PCI device driver annnnnd the Ethernet Controller

 

Shubes,

I just recently purchased a p205-s6237 laptop and thanks to all the input on this thread, I was able to successfully install XP without a hitch.

I was wondering if you were able to figure out the whole F6 and F7 brightness control thing? I would really like to have that functionality back.

On another note, does anyone know how to change the resolution of the touchpad after loading XP?

 

ok folks i found out what the problem was for the touchpad not working on my p205 running on XP:: i tweaked the BIOS setup back to DEFAULT just by pressing the F9 key and saving the changes made and after that i done a reinstall of the driver provided in the disk 1 of the toshiba recovery cd, plus i installed the on/off touchpad utility you can download from the toshiba website and voila, everything works now.
i can only assume that the IRQs were probably moved during my first XP install (?) cause i never touched the machine's setup before and the touchpad worked fine under vista
i decided to post this in case anybody has encontered the same annoying problem.

good luck to everyone!!!!!!!!

i guess that's all from me for now.. .. ..
nice one -ziGG

 

hi, i just turn it to XP, everything is working ok... thanks for all this info,
but the webcam does not work with the original program.
same as OldTechGuy, can anyone help me?

 

Unfortunately, no. I never could get the function keys to work correctly. I found a small, inexpensive program called Magic Hotkey that works wonderfully, if not better. I can control not only the brightness with my function keys, but the contrast AND the gamma settings as well.

Yeah, it's annoying to have to install an external app to make the function keys work, but I sure like having XP.

 

well, its done... to make the webcam original soft run correctly
i put the program in compatibility with win95

right clik over the icon, propeties, compatibility and there you are.

thanks to everyone.

see my new post same title.."P205-S6267 satellite... XP?"

 

What is the original software for the webcam on the P205-S6267? I just recieved the computer and it had already been converted to XP Pro everthing seem to be working but there is no program for the Webcam or the Lableflash.
I would like to be able to use the webcam but i have no idea where to start.

thanks, Tina

Hi i have the same problem. I can't find lan drivers for the toshiba p205. A link witch was in this subject dont include drivers for lan. Could anyone upload the corect drivers?? Drivers on the web dont work correct maybe i can't choose corect ;/ Please help ))))!!! A one milion of props from me !

 

BUMP! just got a s6267. I installed linux and could most things to work except for the modem (its software) and the touchpad. Due to a new position available in my company, I will need to have windows installed. I do not own a copy of vista, and the recovery CD is a joke. Keeps telling me that this machine is not a Toshiba product.

Any update on the drivers?

About F6/F7 Display Adjustment keys, only works for
vista not for Xp yet, But works when the PC is booting to xp also in the bios, so press and hold FN+F6 or FN key & F7 to control the BRIGHTNESS in the bios or when booting, the setting stay when you run XP.

 

bac0nn,

you just saved my life. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ok, I have a P205-S6267 Satellite, I installed XP.
I have All Drivers I found here.
They ALL Worked, EXCEPT Video Controller.
I tried like 10 different Intel Chipsets, my Classmate said it was 'NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300'.
So I tried like 10 of those Drivers that were 'supposed' to work for that.
But I still have:
Video Controller
Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
neither of the 2 are working.
so, if this is what I have, Please tell me where I can Download the Driver.
I've spent Days on this one Driver allready.

thanx - Da-Man

 

I came across the Satellite A100 notebook, that has also the Agere HDA modem inside. I found aproperiate driver on toshiba support site, but with a little workaround:
Try to choose only the notebook model number and OS in the form at support website of toshiba. Do NOT fill any info about country, language or type of downloads. This lists all downloads in all languages for given notebook model. Then You should be able to find the modem driver as did I (eg. modem driver is available in UK english, but not US english).

Good luck
