Satellite L500 - Windows 8 GPU Drivers

Hey!

My apologies if this isn't the right forum. Not sure if it is purely for laptops upgraded via the official update program.

But anyway, I have a Satellite L500-1ZR which is not covered by the official program, I went and updated my laptop directly through Microsoft. Everything works perfectly until now. However, Windows has installed its own drivers for my Radeon Mobility HD 4500 series and I prefer to use the ATI drivers. And it's normal, I can't install the drivers directly on the ATI site, but when I try to install the drivers via the Catalyst Install Manager which is located on the site of Toshiba, as I always did in the past, she claims that she cannot find any installable content.

Is there a way to get around this, or is it a matter of waiting (and hoping) that Toshiba to release Windows 8 pilots?

Here is a nice thread on Win 8 supported laptop series:

If his list, he'll win 8 drivers

    I doubt that this question has something to do with the laptop.
    I guess that it s software (Win 7) related question or maybe it related to this folder special photo

  • Satellite A660 - 17 M - need drivers for Windows 7 32 bit

    Dear all

    I just brought a new Toshiba Satellite A660 - 17 M in Egypt and I installed windows 7 32-bit on it to support my company work, but I could find the drivers for it on the website and many material options does not specially the extra package, please help me!
    is it possible that I can install it or fix it?

    Hey Buddy,

    The problem is that most of the new laptops don't support windows 7 64 bit because they come with 4 GB or more RAM capacity and 32-bit support only up to 3.2 GB.

    I think you should search the drivers yourself. Just check out some similar Toshiba models, they support Windows 7 32 bit. As much as I know Satellite L500 provides 32-bit drivers Windows 7 and tools where you can also get value-added package for example.

    If you find all the drivers of the comments would be great. :)

    Can set the restore/recovery point and can back up restore/recovery points, but cannot save actively / data backup on the external units with Windows tools. Council of Toshiba to 'secure your laptop' does not work as well. If possible, do not restore the entire operating system.

  • Satellite L500 - keyboard idle after the mode 'sleep'

    Satellite L500, Windows 7, keyboard become idle after waking up from his sleep. Restarting solves the problem.

    Help would be welcome please!

    Hey William,

    That s odd, but in my opinion you should try a BIOS update. BIOS version latest for your laptop, you can download from the Toshiba page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    But let me give you a little advice: update of the BIOS is always a bit risky so make sure that you are logged on as administrator. In addition, extract all the files from zip archive and close all programs running (also AntiVirus).

    By the way: you use pre-installed Windows 7 in Toshiba or did you do your own installation of Windows?

  • Satellite L500-164 drivers for Windows XP?

    What about drivers for Windows XP (32-bit)?

    On the Toshiba Driver Site for this product there are only drivers vor vista 32 bit and vista 64-bit...

    where can I find drivers for Win XP? Or the Vista drivers work for Win XP, too?

    I can't test it now because I want to first ensure that it will work with win xp, after that I tried to install it...

    Hello

    The Satellite L500 doesn t Windows XP, it supports only 32-bit Vista and Vista 64-bit. Windows XP is pretty old OS, it the past. Now it of Windows Vista or Windows 7.

    If you want to install XP you must collect the drivers by yourself on external sites, such as Intel, Realtek, and far.

    But to be honest rejoice with OS preinstalled. All new laptops are fast enough for Vista. ;)

  • Satellite L500-128 - where can I get drivers for Windows 7?

    Hello

    Recently, I bought Satellite L500 with Windows Vista. I hope that make Windows 7 drivers Toshiba soon so I can install Windows 7 Professional on my laptop. Why does take so long?

    Pilots would come I have a few weeks or should you wait until next year?

    Great, from the Netherlands!

    Hi Dennis,

    First of all I'm pretty sure that Toshiba will come out Windows 7 for this model because I created this: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/KBA9A02PX0000R01.htm

    I think that nobody can't say how long it takes until that Toshiba will get the drivers for this model now, but I can understand that not all drivers can be released in one or two days. I guess that Toshiba test riders before they download them and it takes a bit but I noticed that every day more and more drivers for Windows 7 will be available to check the Toshiba page from time to time.

    About Windows 7 drivers on the page United States it of really nice to read that you founded another model with the same specifications then I guess that readers should also work on your model. I m waiting for a feedback on your part because I m thinking purchase Satellite L500 for Windows 7 too so it would be very nice to read your experience with the drivers here. :)

  • Satellite L500-13W - what order to install drivers on Windows 7 32 bit?

    Hello

    I have Satellite L500-13W and install Windows 7 32 bit. I have download all the drivers.

    What order of installation for my model?

    Hi jason_x,

    I agree with Akuma. Two weeks ago I also installed Windows 7 on a disk of Microsoft and after installing Windows 7, I started with installing the chipset driver. Then I installed the Intel Storage Manager, then display driver. After that, I installed the rest of the necessary drivers.

    I didn't use a special installation order. After installation, all devices have been properly recognized in device without yellow exclamation points Manager.
