Hello Everybody....

I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 Laptop that came with windows Vista ultimate preloaded on it when i bought it 3 years ago.

just recently i had a avrt.dll corrupt file error, i searched for a very long time and i couldnt get it fixed so i reinstalled Windows XP home edition onto the laptop.

now when i installed it there were some ethernet controller drives missing and some others. i installed most of them onto the laptop....

now when i try to connect to the laptop wirelessly or wired it sas connected but i cant use the internet at all... when i do ip config i get a gateway and ip adress etc... but it says media state.... media disconnected....

can anyone help me out with this please

Have you used Toshiba's hardware installer or gone to their site to get the drivers?

[Basher_sarfraz]

the following are yellow:

ethernet contoller
ethernet controller
modem device on high definition audio bus
video controller
video controller (vga compatible)

[Elvandil]

You need to install all your drivers from the Toshiba site, starting with the chipset (or platform) driver.

I find it hard to believe that going to the support page for your Laptop on Toshibas website would give you the wrong drivers to download.

like what i mean by downloading the wrong ones is that the only drivers for my laptop on that site is for windows vista... i found none for xp

I just looked up your model on Toshiba's Australian support site and I see all the drivers for your model there. Plain as day. All for XP.
