[SOLVED] wireless is not working after format

ATm32 · 06-05-2009, 03:15 PM

Hey ,

I formatted my Toshiba Satellite L350 Laptop & Installed XP Pro SP3 ,
then wireless network does not work , I checked the Device Manager
some devices ( Sound , VGA , Lan adaptor ..etc ) with Exclamation Mark cannot be update\reinstall , should connect to the Internet to update them ..

so what to do then ? how can I get the update for them ?

Thanks advanced ..

and welcome to the Forum

You should be able to find the drivers on the Toshiba support website. Load the Chipset drive first, then the others in any order

Go to Toshiba's site and download the drivers.

I need LAN_Adaptor High Definition Audio & VGA plz , couldn't find them in Toshiba
support website ..

Is the wireless switch turned on, it usually located on the front of the laptop, or somewhere around the keyboard area.

They are likely called something else . .

LAN_Adaptor = Network Controller

High Definition Audio = Sound

VGA = Video or Display Adaptor
support website ..

yeah turned on , the network icon does not appear in the system ray near clock ..

Exclamation marks still found in the device manager after installing the drivers ..

**simpswr** · 06-06-2009, 07:32 AM

Did you load the Chipset Driver first? What Devices still have the exclamation marks?

ATm32 · 06-06-2009, 07:53 AM

yup I load it first , here they are under " Other Devices "

• Audio Device High Definition on Audio Bus
• Ethernet Controller
• RTL8187B_WLAN_Adapter
• Video Controller
• Video Controller ( VGA Compatible )

only these ..

Here is a link to the drivers:

See attachment and input the information accordingly

The drivers you need are as follows according to what you have posted previously:

If you still have issues please do the following. This will help me "see" what Hardware you have.

Go to the Device Manager
Right click on the error>Properties>Details Tab
Post the info you find under Device Instance ID

Do this for each error you have in the Device Manager
