Product: Toshiba Laptop, Satellite 1800 (PS183C-00HV9P)\r\n1.1 GHz, 512mb, Windows XP Pro Problem: I recently reinstalled Windows XP Pro. I am having problems with display. Videos do not run smooth - its like frames coming up - even if I scroll down a page in explorer it's like frame by frame. I think I need a display driver. I installed display driver s18274vidx.exe from www.csd.toshiba.com. This might be the wrong driver though, I am not sure. Can anybody help me with this issue. Thankssss!!!!

Go to toshibas website and select your operating system under drivers and downloads. There you will find a list of drivers that you need.

The video driver is specific to the model laptop, there may be a few different video card used in the same model laptop, in this case you may need to install one at a time to find the correct driver.
You can download any/allthe Windows XP or Vista device drivers for your model laptop from the ToshibaWEB site from their download page.

hello, the drivers can be downloaded from the same place which is toshiba website. Now I personally have used an english key to install a spanish version of windows xp. I dont know if this would be the case with your version.

Good

YOu need to locate your devices TRUE model. Look on your product label on bottom of laptop. There are various models of the L3000 series. Once you have the proper model number (looks like L3000-502I etc) Go to Support.toshiba.com website. Go to DOWNLOADS tab, choose LAPTOP in first box, Choose SATELLITE on next one, and in third box scroll to your actual model number (the real one) and then download the SOUND drivers for your device. This should fix it. Also, you need to be sure and download teh proper version for Windows XP.. dont get the Windows 7 version. I would also make sure that XP is updated to the current SP3 version. To do this go to microsoft.com and run Microsoft Update.

Reinstall your VGA driver from right clicking on computer>properties>device manager>display adapter>driver>uninstal. Keep ur XP CD in ur CD/DVD rom, windows will detect the hardware automatically and follow the instructions. If windows does not have a compatable driver, follow the link below for the official site of toshiba to download the driver for your laptop for free.

Hope this will solve the problem

you have to use a standard windows start up disk with cd rom support like win 98 works well so the computer will recognize a older version then insert it and boot the computer with the operating system that u want to install but be advised if you have a warranty on the machine you will void the waranty i found out the hard way i had xp on my toshiba laptop and i put windows me on it couple of months later i had a cd rom issue and sent it to the manufacture and found out that the waranty was voided because i put a different operating system on the machine

you need to buy windows xp for a software shop. it will come on a cd/dvd. all you have to do is pop the cd in the computer and follow the on screen instructions.

Press either the "Esc" key or "F1" when first turning on computer to boot up.
