I have installed the windows xp professional on my notebook Toshiba portégé 7010ct. He despite the small ram (64mb) goes very well but he doesn't load more the battery, doesn't see the bios and goes me each twenty minutes in suspension, also during the job, although i have disconnected it. Besides the video (neomagic driver) doesn't work more in 3d. How could i obviate to these drawbacks? Is there of the driver done adjiourn for marry this portable to the xp? I thank in advance Ulisse
XP runs surprisingly well on that computer, but not with 64mb. I've installed it on the 7010CT before. After a memory upgrade, it did run very well with XP. The maximum memory capacity of the 7010CT is 192MB, which I would recommend buying the memory upgrade. This laptop was made before XP came out. So Neomagic doesn't make XP video drivers, which means there may be no or limited 3D support. Infact, the video card is so bad on the 7010, that I'm not sure you could run any 3D games anyway using Windows 98. That is, unless it is a very, very, very basic game. The batteries for the 7010 are not very good. Even a brand new battery might only last 1.5 hours maximum. Most of the used 7010CT laptops I've seen only last about 30 to 45 minutes. I would assume your battery is probably bad and needs to be replaced. www.ebay.com is a good place to find batteries.
