open up the screen case and check if the signal cable is connected to the screen,if it is,then change the screen cos it's faulty....

you need sound driver realtek hd audio 97 from realtek.com as for display driver if you try toshiba .co.uk and put in model number u can get the display driver for xp or vista hope this helps

Unless you have changed the drive letter assignments, the C: drive is your hard disk with the operating system and applications. Drive D: is the optical disc drive. The directions merely mean: open the file explorer (My Computer (WinXP) or Computer (Vista)) and double click on the optical drive with the Learning Quickbooks CD. (The booklet for the CD assumes that auto-run isn't being used. In that case, you wouldn't need the drive letter information. It may be that they didn't include auto-run to make it easier to go through the tutorials and restart at different points.) Once you have the file explorer open for the CD, follow the rest of the directions from the booklet.

I hope this helps.

You may want to go to the "Device Manager" or Sound Devices, find trouble shoot...or some other tab...roll back driver, it may be a bad version of your sound driver

Disconnect the power supply from your laptop, then remove the battery. leave it for a couple of minutes, then replace the battery & boot up normally

Toshiba Satellite 2405-S221 Laptop takes the PC2100 DDR SDRAM SODIMMs Memory Type, and comes installed with 256 MB (removable) of Memory. You can upgrade your Toshiba Satellite 2405-S221 Laptop to up to a maximum of 512 MB Memory, the system has 2 sockets to install Memory, already with 256 MB (removable) standard Memory installed.

In short.... yeah, 512k is the max.

Doesn't appear to a bios limitation. It is a hardware issue that is limiting the amount.

It is the probem with ur battery ...it seems to be drained..

You'll have to check if windows is loading before it restarts. If windows starts loading before it shuts down and just loops all over again, you can easily fix this by simply re-installing your operating system. you can do this by booting from the recovery discs that came with the laptop. Now if the rebooting cycle happens before windows starts loading then this could either be a RAM or a motherboard issue and will need to be serviced.

If you don't have a copy of the recovery discs, you can always call Toshiba at 1-800-457-7777 and purchase one from them.

you will need to clear the BIOS password by:

On the computer motherboard locate the BIOS clear / password jumper or dipswitch and change its position. Once this jumper has been changed, turn on the computer and the password should be cleared. Once cleared, turn the computer off and return the jumper or dipswitch to its original position.

on a laptop computer the location of the dipswitch (almost never a jumper) can be under the keyboard or on the bottom of the laptop in a compartment such as the memory compartment.

Alternatively you can locate the CMOS battery on the motherboard a remove it for at least 10mins allowing the computer to lose all of its information but please not that this does not work on all computers

Goodluck
