Hi, Thanks for the link. I checked in the Intel site and ran the program to check my machine. After checking the machine, it listed a few drivers including Graphics, chipset software etc. However there was message under each driver saying "This device is unknown or unresponsive. Please contact...

Hi, Thank you for the link and I did check. There were only two driver files (BIOS and Ali Sound driver) it could recognise. I downloaded the both and updated the sound driver. No improvement I could see. Do you think I need to update the BIOS as well? Any other suggestion for this slow...

Thanks for the information. Could you please advice me how to identify the correct chipset driver for my Toshiba Lpatop? It is nearly 12 years old. The drivers I should look in Intel site or is it coming from XP? I also found my microphone not working while speakers are working. I could not...

Thats a good point. I didn't think about it. It has an ATA (16GB) hdd. Is there a way to check this hdd? whether it is working correctly with the spin speed (rpm) etc.?

You meant, it is XP causing the problem? Why? not enough memory (RAM)?

Yes. It is 512Mb of RAM although system properties indicates 502Mb RAM.

Hi All, I have an old Toshiba Satellite laptop which has only (maximum) 512Mb of RAM, 1GHz processor. It had Windows 2000 and was working ok. There was problem and I had to format the HDD and installed XP and SP1, 2 and 3. The laptop is, now, painfully slow. Example, if I double click the...

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have selected the 'clear type test'. I could not find the option in Windows 7 to set separate resolution for both LCDs? Do I have to download any other program for this? Hfdo

I would also like to know, whether it is possible to configure one of the for LAN ports to be a WAN port so that I can connect my internet cable to the WAN port? eg. Can I configure LAN1 to be WAN and keep LAN2, LAN3 and LAN4 as they are (as LANs)?
