Satellite A300 - Graphics Driver update needed

Hello

I am writing this hoping someone from Toshiba will be able to help me to find and update for laptop Satellite A300, short model: PSAJ4E.
I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) and Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) on another partition.

I noticed I was encountering problems more often because of the graphics card is not not to date.
I am looking for an update for the ATI Radeon HD 3650 series.
I checked the AMD for and to update, but it seems that most cell phone manufacturers do not want to distribute updates. They had however an update for the ATI Radeon HD 3xxx series in December 2010, but the following comment wrote:

Following books are not compatible with this version: *.

All laptops launched after this version of the driver
Portable computers compatible switchable graphics card using Intel® chipsets.
* _Toshiba® portable (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these books) _ *.
Sony VAIO® Laptops (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these laptops)
Notebooks from Panasonic® (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these laptops)

This comment is in the following link: [AMD | http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst1012ReleaseNotes.aspx]

And before someone sent it to me in the updated drivers from Toshiba on the following link: [Toshiba | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 781 & selSho rtMod = 697 & language = 13 & selOS = 30 & selType = all & yearupl = DST & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = all Machines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 68813 & DISO = 30 & driverLanguage = 42]

I checked and the update on the Toshiba site is the previous update... it has the * version 8.634.1 * and AMD is at version * _8.801_* with their AMD Catalyst 10.12 software suite.

I know laptops are not updates as much as a normal desktop pc, but it would be nice to receive updates that came out for the products that we bought.

If possible could someone direct me, so that I can get the driver for Windows and Ubuntu?

Kind regards

Marc

> I checked AMD for and to update but it seems that most cell phone manufacturers do not want to distribute updates...
Do you know why?

For example, I have the Satellite A300 PSAG8E and use it with Windows XP Home edition and Win7 32-bit dual boot and everything works perfectly.

  • HP Pavilion x 360 Convertible: the Intel HD graphics driver update fails to install

    Hello

    I got my new laptop for Christmas and a few days ago, HP support assistant told me that there was a Version "Intel high definition (HD) Graphics Driver Update": 10.18.15.4281Ep3. I downloaded the updated, but after that 4 attempts trying to install via HP support assistant I kept getting the same message "installation failed." Then, I went to my downloads through Explorer of files and found the downloaded file. When I click on the file it takes me to the Setup Wizard and I can start the installation, but about 2/3 of the way if the installation I get the same message "the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" and then the installation completes without completing. I'm not sure how to find out which process is using the file or how to do the complete installation so I would really appreciate your help.

    Thank you Daniel for answering my message. While the NVIDIA GEFORCE driver is an option, my driver is INTEL (R). I have since solved the problem by installing the BIOS update. Then, I was able to successfully install the graphics driver updated. Thanks again.

    Hello

    On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the new Toshiba nVidia graphics drivers that are available right now!

    The same graphics card was also installed in the Satellite X 200 PSPB9E series.
    You can check the drivers also designed for this series.

    Usually only the Toshiba graphics drivers should be used because of the overheating protection that is available in the graphics drivers Toshiba and which is not supported by the graphics drivers from manufacturer of graphics cards drivers.

    But if you want, you can try to install the drivers GPU NVIDIA page, BUT ONLY at YOUR OWN RISK!
    To install this driver, you need to go to Device Manager and update the driver by using the Advanced installation. Then you choose the last option don't search. I will install the driver and must point to the downloaded nVidia Driver.

    But once again; This can be done at your own risk.

    Good bye

  • Satellite C660 Graphics Driver does not update

    I currently have the 8.15.10.2189 Intel HD Graphics driver version and want to upgrade to 8.15.10.2353 driver but everytime I download, unzip the file and open the file, it will extract and request "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer" I click on "Yes" and then it disappears and nothing happens at all. I've waited long to see if something happens, but nothing happens.

    Any info on why he is not update would be great.

    I also noticed that the same Version of driver on different models of Toshiba Satellite has a different file size, I was wondering if I should download and try to install on my C660 because I assume that they would all be the same update of the driver. I don't know why they would be a different file size.

    Thanks for any info.

    Can you please tell us what C660 you exactly (C660-xxx)?
    What operating system do you use?
    Are you using the original pre-installed OS that you got with your laptop?

  • Intel GMA graphics driver update on the Satellite Pro U series

    I want to upgrade my graphics accelerator driver that is Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family.
    On the Intel website, I found this accelerator and new driver for Win XP OS that has been released 31.3.2009, its version is 14.38.3.5047.

    Although I can not install it because this driver is not verified by Toshiba and the site Web of Toshiba is the driver who is one (of course I have it) year old. So, is a way to install the new driver from Intel or can you please this verified driver?

    BTW, if the latest drivers are more than a year, it does not resemble the good support.

    Zdenek Konecny

    Hello

    I m using Intel drivers too and I n t have a problem to install.

    If you have tried to install the driver through setup.exe, you should try manual in Device Manager. Right-click on the graphic card > driver update. Use the Advanced installation step and choose the driver directory yourself.

    Before installing the driver, you must remove the older version first, and then restart the laptop.

    Hello

    The sound card is listed in the Manager device correctly or yellow exclamation? You may need to reinstall the audio driver with the newest one of the Toshiba page.

    Also make sure that its isn t cut. You can deal with it, if you press FN + ESC.

    By the way: you can use the restore feature of the system to the last known good configuration. Then, you should have all the settings before Tempro update.

  • Questions on on Satellite A300 HARD drive partitions

    Hello

    I would like to install a new OS (new operating system: Windows 7, old OS: Vista Edition Home Premium) on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A300-237) to repartition the whole HARD drive. I see a non-standard partition, its size is of ~ 1 GB, can I delete this partition?

    What information contains this partition?
    I did the recovery previously by Toshiba HDD Recovery disks. Guess when I delete any partition and put in place and installation of the discs, will recover the initial state (including the hidden partition)?

    Thank you

    If you want to install your own Win7 version delete all existing partitions and then create a C partition for the installation of the OS.
    I guess you write over WinRE partition and it is about 1.5 GB.

    I installed Win7 ultimate 32 bit on my Satellite A300 and it works perfectly.
    If you need assistance with installing Win7 let me know.

  • Satellite Pro Graphics Driver - OpenGL version low-income L870 question

    Trying to recover a part of my working on my new L870 3D graphics software, he complains that the opengl version is too weak at 1.1. The ATI HD 7670 M supports up to 4.1.

    I downloaded realtech VR OpenGL extensions Viewer, it also reports OpenGL 1.1. He also pointed out under "GDI Generic" rendering, but it should be "ATI Radeon 7670 M" I think that (judging by the post [here | http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2487900]).

    The Catalyst Control Center seems to think that the card works well. So I tried to update the drivers to see if that helped. The latest drivers from Toshiba (8.982.7 - 120808 a 14704), the [zip file | http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/display-20121023172326.zip] is damaged (checksum fails), and he tells me that previous drivers (8.982.10.6 - 120918 a) are already installed.

    Any suggestions to get OpenGL > 1.1 work would be appreciated!

    Thank you

    Hello

    OpenGL is an open standard API, but more often the DirectX designed by Microsoft is included in the graphics card driver for OpenGL enters the market of professional graphics, DirectX, DirectX is used primarily for computer games.

    However, if you need a driver supports OpenGL then you need a driver updated him from some 3rd party sources.

    ATI drivers can be downloaded from the page AMD directly or on sites like omegadrivers.net
    But use at your own risk.

    In addition, to install these drivers, you will need to use a special procedure. I mean by special procedure installation via the Device Manager where you could choose the driver manually.

    Even if you n touch cell phone t, the disk is running and different applications, access data. Applications and processes that are running in the background cause this blinking. Notes; This isn't a problem!

    > 2. When I go somewhere, my screen turns off and when I move my screen mouse lights up but nothing happens. Everything stands still (sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes) and it is ready to operate.
    Disable the support by modem and disable the settings turn off the screen while the laptop is not in use. This is possible in the Windows 7 power management.
