Having a hard time updating video driver.

Hi all!

So, I've been doing reviews of various games that I play my graphics/video driver is outdated and needs an upgrade. I pushed a little this turned off until I could not really play a game that I wanted to because my graphics driver was not able to support it properly. (the game would work, but "read memory" errors would regularly jump upwards)

So my computer (a Dell Inspiron with Windows 8 (64-bit) and an Intel Core i5 vPro processor) currently has an Intel HD Graphics card 2500, and when I went on their site and contacted the support for some assistance, they recommended an Iris Intel HD Graphics (v.  15.33.14.64.3412) to replace. When I tried to upgrade my current processor (whose version is 9.17.10.2849), he said that the current driver, I had was to update, even if everything else was telling me it was not. To work around this problem, I contacted the person suggested I have uninstall then reinstall (which I did), but the old driver reappeared in its place when I downloaded it (manually in a zip file). After that, I tried to uninstall from a different place (Control Panel, I think), and despite my best efforts, the old processor kept returning. The person has recommended that, because it seemed that my computer was rejecting their driver, I go on the manufacturer's site and see whether there are upgrades.

What brought me here. I found the recommended drivers, but Intel one seems to be an older version (8 something), but there was an Nvidia card, I thought I'd try to download to see if it helped at all. I tried to download it, but I kept getting an error message which I think was something about not being able to find the appropriate driver tech (I could be wrong, but something she was doing so he could not find a place to install to, I think). So, I'm pretty stuck. My driver obviously needs an update, but I'm completely lost as to what I should do.

Thank you very much!

I'm a bit confused with all of this.  Graphics Intel HD 2500 is integrated in the i5 processor.  You should not try to update anything.  You cannot pass your processor unless you physically remove your motherboard and put another in his place.  Still, you shouldn't try to update the drivers of the CPU either.

Apparently, you have not any dedicated Nvidia or AMD video card then you should not try to install the drivers for it.  2500 HD is not intended to play all games requiring high-end graphics power where you would need a dedicated card.  If you have any questions, play a game as described, then you just buy a video card and install it on your system.

If you have the Inspiron 660, I would suggest a 7750 HD or a GTX 750 for the games.  They will both work on your power of 300 watts.

    I recently bought an iphone 6s and I'm having a hard time activating my number imessage FaceTime. I migrated to an iphone 6 and where everything worked like a charm to a nightmare without end I tried all support apple suggests more change my sim card, twice, even try different phone numbers did not work. I spoke with my carrier to check any international obstacle on my serve - no luck there. Contacted by phone - apple support chance either. I EVEN DEMANDED TO REPLACE MY UNIT WITH a DIFFERENT ILS DID and guess what - STILL NOTHING! I'm running out of ideas and patience. I even tried my number deauthorised for imessage/facetime and the Lady at apple support had no idea they could that, even if Apple has a webpage set up for that matter! Last but not least, I charged a sum of rediculus of money for "Invincible" sms for activation of apple through my device for activation - ALL for NOTHING! Can someone in the Apple support give me a solution to this?

    What country are you in and who is your provider? iMessage and FaceTime activation use SMS to the Apple activation servers to the United Kingdom. If you use a carrier not supported, it may not work. If you use a supported media, make sure you have your account set up properly for an iPhone.

    Then when I tried to display updated my driver, there is no way to freaking updated its just impossible mission.

    Toshiba care a little to make updating drivers for the customer even though I tried to download it from the official site of AMD.

    It is said to be impossible to update driver since it is not supported and it said that I'm going for new drivers toshiba site and there is no new drivers for my pc.

    So I stuck and new games need new drivers like few games don't wana start because I not updated my drivers.

    The only thing I think is to find more recent drivers of other computers portable satellite with similar graphics card.

    I searched a bit and find [these | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp].

    Select the satellite C series:

    Display driver
    AMD
    Windows 7-32 Bit

    You can also try to download the 64-bit drivers. It is possible that they include 32-bit as well.

    C670D

  • Toshiba will be updating video driver from Nvidia NVS 2100 M for Tecra S11?

    Toshiba will be updated driver Nvidia NVS 2100 M of S11?

    My S11 machine is almost 3 years old. In the first year there was a lot of update for the drivers, but last year 1 there is no update.

    Official website of nvidia, there is a driver download page, but if I install the last driver - no matter that one - I have several video driver related issue. So I downgrade to the Toshiba nvidia driver.
    I'll try this one
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/Quadro-notebook-WIN8-Win7-WinVista-64bit-310.90-WHQL-driver-all.html

    If nvidia or toshiba will update the video driver?

    To be honest I don t think that Toshiba will offer updates for older models of laptops.

    As you probably know Toshiba offers modified and tested the drivers so it will be interesting to know what kind of problems you have with the NVIDIA driver.
