Question about drivers (hardware manufacturer vs toshiba drivers)

Is it better to use the drivers supplied by toshiba (nvidia, synaptics,...) or should I install it from the official hardware manufacturer as they have newer drivers than the toshiba site.

Generally the drivers of Toshiba page should be used because these drivers are tested by Toshiba.
For example, the Toshiba display driver supports some kind of overheating protection and reduce clock down the GPU so the temperature would be too high in this case the performance for a short period, but that would lower the temperature as far as I know, that don t chip manufacturers drivers are supported by this feature
So the use of these drivers is at your own risk

However, you can install drivers page maker Synaptics. There is no risk.

  • Question about drivers on Toshiba Recovery DVD

    Has had a HARD drive failure and bought the product recovery DVD, many drivers are unsigned and therefore used to install. Would have thought that Toshiba drivers tire would be signed, have searched the forum for an idea on what to do about and can't find anything.

    Did some general internet searches and found solutions, but I'm not sure if I should do these changes to the system.

    Any thoughts?

    Hey Buddy,

    > and so used to install.
    ???
    If you install all the Windows Toshiba Recovery disk drivers and tools will install automatically. During the installation of recovery, no error message and everything will be done automatically. So, I do not know what you mean with the drivers won t install.

    The fact is that all the drivers and tools (the entire contents of the recovery disk) is pretested by Toshiba and it works properly. Everything is tested and designed for a perfect use.

    Aykut

    Hi aykut76,

    Using the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or your own installation?
    Can you put the vendor and exact device ID? It would be useful to identify the exact device. But according to your assignment, it has something to do with the package of added value or HDD/SSD alert maybe

    Your printer, you need to contact the manufacture of the printer. This has nothing to do with Toshiba. Probably you have need new drivers or something else

  • Question about drivers for Tecra 9100

    My Tecra T9100 do not work with LAN more after the installation of a new HD (old one crashed) and where some Toshiba files on the old HD that I don't know. (Bought the laptop 2. a few years ago by hand) and I lost the CD that belongs to her, and there is no drivers on this site for this 5 year old machine. Maybe a little strange because it's a P4.

    In the list of hardware (control panel/system /) there is no problem with the network card. But at the top of the list, there is a yellow "?" for the UNIT of BASIC SYSTEM and there is the missing drivers.

    It's very confusing to me because I've never heard of these drivers and I don't know which device is the following. There is also a yellow "?" for PCI modem (but I didn't need) so I guess this unit of base system has to do with the PCI-bus and perhaps also affects the LAN card?

    But shouldn't? the drivers will be in the BIOS?
    Can someone help me?

    Hello

    You should take a good look here:

    http://209.167.114.38/support/download/ln_byModel.asp

    because here, you will find all the drivers for your computer. The Canadian site has almost all of the drivers for older machines, and you should really check out.
    I think that "basic unit of system" could be something with ACPI or similar. But lets wait until after you have installed all THE drivers and then give feedback short.
    And no, the drivers are generally not in the bios because the bios is just to boot but it s OS independent.

  • Question about drivers ATI for Satellite A100-683

    Hello

    I hear the new ATI drivers are finally out with good support of OpenGL for Vista. But again, I can only find the NVIDIA drivers on my laptops driver page. The thing was where before ATI offered to consumers that they stopped now with her again and point of Toshiba. Toshiba does not put them online and or not ATI.

    Any ideas how I can also enjoy new 7.4 or at least those with OpenGL drivers good support so I can finally use this book where I bought it for (graphic work for my studies, we use a lot of OpenGL).

    I just hope that Toshiba allows ATI to include their laptops in the reference ATI Mobility drivers.

    EDIT:
    Well, I asked ATI about this and they say I have should you mail, msg, pressure, etc to suport my material, or at least that it is supported by Catalyst Mobility. Which means that you can get at the moment their reference drivers. Which I think would be fair, because for now I can get the drivers for Nvidia this mobile version.

    Yes, you are right, that for Vista ATI display drivers are not placed on the page of the Toshiba driver.
    S let hope Toshiba guys will publish these drivers in the near future

    UPDATE:

    Everything is available on the page :D

    And can I use Vista and XP at the same time and how?

  • Question about drivers Vista for Satellite A100-906

    Hello
    I have a satellite A906 and I installed all the vista drivers from the 'step by step upgrade dvd-rom' - I want to ask if I should reinstall or upgrade a driver (or BIOS) of the webstite of toshiba in the Download Center.
    Thank you

    If the driver update is a solution to some problems (which you probably do) then try to update.

    Note: If you want to update BIOS please check if the BIOS is designed for you notebook series. Bad BIOS and bad BIOS update procedure can and does not damage the jury!

  • Portege 3010 ct: Question about drivers USB under W2k

    Can someone point me in the direction of the Windows 2000 drivers for the CT 3010 Portege USB port? I can only find Win 95 and 98, and they do not seem to work.

    Thank you very much

    Adam

    Hello

    Usually it of not necessary to install the additional USB drivers for W2k or WinXP.
    I read on some sites that sometimes, the service pack update will solve driver problems. You should check if you have installed all SP for W2k.

    I also found this site:
    http://www.USB-drivers.com/companies/667.htm
    You should check it out.

  • Windows 7 Imaging question about drivers

    Hello, I'm doing some research on the Internet and can't find what I need for this task.  I want to make an image of Windows 7 on a laptop, but I want to load the drivers for the other 20 laptops and desktops we have so I have a small beautiful image.  Is there a documentation proving that I can download all the drivers and then change a registry entry to make Windows look like this directory to load drivers when the image is used on another PC?  Or maybe is there another way I can do this without having to purchase any additional software?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Question about OS preinstalled on laptops Toshiba and recovery CD?

    Y at - it only something preinstalled on Toshiba notebokes and if so, what is pre-installed? Only Windows or also the software?
    Is there a score with these things pre-installed on it? Do you get the original software CD or that you get only a recovery disk?
    I hope someone could help me with these questions.

    Thank you very much.

    HI Sanne,

    This will depend on what any Toshiba laptop model you buy, and also the provider that you use.
    Some Toshiba laptops come with recovery discs that you use to install the operating system base so that any software provided and utilities. Other Toshiba laptops have a 'hidden' partition and a utility to allow you to create your own recovery discs.

    If you buy your ook noteb through points of sale, then they may well pre = install the operating system for you as well as their own software and tools.

    In general, you will not receive an original CD of Microsoft since the laptop will be provided under an OEM license.

    As you can see that there is no simple answer to your question. :-)
