Satellite Pro A100 - cannot update driver ATI

Hello!

I have a problem with my graphics ATI Mobility Radeon x 1600 card card. I can't update to the latest driver from the ATI. The program says that it can not install on my system - contact company for the most recent driver. But the one that is provided by Toshiba is almost two years!
It all started with, that I could not run FIFA 2009... even if it clearly States in EA own manual that this graphics card is supported! But I do not see everything in the game - except the players. Only their shadows are visible...

I know it's a lot, but I'm pulling the hair here!

HEEELP!

BTW: my system: Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-PSAACE - Core2Duo 2.0 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 120 GB of HARD drive Windows XP Pro.

I really wonder that many people do not understand why the laptop manufacturers don't offer drivers for graphics cards so often.
Each laptop manufacturer deals with design, hardware components and drivers used for the operation of the equipment. On laptops, hardware components are miniaturized and placed close to each other. This means that the heat and is a common problem for the designers of the laptop.

Each computer laptop (hardware, drivers, BIOS, cooling system) is designed to operate in optimal conditions. If you want the new driver that can force a graphics card to run on the maximum limit, the result will be more heat. More heat means more risk for damaging hardware and overheating.

So to laptops, there are limits that must and should be respected. Graphics card manufacturers cannot just offer new drivers for laptops and be responsible for the damage. When some owner of the laptop is damage graphics card because of the driver who should be responsible? ATI or Toshiba?

For this reason, graphics card manufacturers say clearly: If you want the new driver laptop computer contact the manufacturer. Manufacturers must also protect the customer s of material and be careful with this stuff.

So I think you see how it works and the display driver update will be probably endless discussion on each laptop computers forum.

Good luck!

    Rename the package for example in "display driver" and then uncompress the package.
    Then go to the folder where the driver was decompressed and then launch the installation.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I need to update my latest video card drivers, AutoCAD is slow work and I would play BF3 on my laptop too.

    TOSHIBA offers only a very old catalyst I think it s 1.11, but I'm not sure. The main objective is to get a new display driver is newer than 8.723.2 because the catalyst is only the user interface, but I need new drivers with optimizations better.

    I have can´t install the drivers of AMD official because TOSHIBA does not allow it and the driver can´t install correctly (only installs it CCC). However there is also a tool of change for the drivers but I do not want to cause its too risky. I really need help.

    What should I do?
    I had this problem already with laptops from other manufacturers ("Sony" and "HP") and they will not help me if I sold these laptops.

    Hi mate

    It must be said that I had a similar problem with the old drivers, but I could install page Intel driver because my laptop was equipped with an Intel GPU.

    I could install the driver through the Device Manager. I used the Advanced installation procedure, that allows me to select the downloaded driver.

    Of course I did at my own risk. I read here in the forum that drivers Toshiba not don t support the overheating protection that controls the performance of the GPU and GPU clock downwards if temperatures rise to critical level.

    However, you can check more recent graphics cards drivers has published other new models of laptops Toshiba with the same GPU.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - CD/DVD drive is not listed in the Manager of peripherals and BIOS

    Can Hi anyone tell me what is wrong with this laptop?

    The problem is im using my DVD - ROM drive and it stops working. I went into Device Manager and it wasn't there and it was not in my list of drives. I went and checked the BIOS, it is not listed there either and the BIOS pick up all get them is check the cable or the conection.

    Would be grateful if some knows what happened or if my hard drive is gone.

    Thank you

    Hello

    If the CD/DVD drive is not listed in the Device Manager and BIOS, it seems to be defective and must be replaced.
    What do you think about this?

    You can exchange the car yourself. Check for a compatible CD/DVD Player user manual or go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can order a new drive to swap.

    Sorry, but if the drive is not listed in the BIOS seems to be defective.

  • Satellite Pro A100: Display Driver ATI Mobile Radeon X 1400 WinXP

    Hello there :)

    I have browsed the forum and could not find another thread that helps me. I have a Satellite pro A100 PSAACE laptop, equipped with a Mobile Radeon X 1400 graphics card. Now, I was informed by the games that I play that drivers are up-to-date. I think it is true that in the last few days, I formatted my laptop and then only initial drivers from the disc of recovery of the product are to be used.

    I visit the ATI site, and they inform me that I have to contact my laptop to the manufacturer (that Toshiba are not in the list of supported manufacturers) in order to get the new drivers. If I remember I should get all my updates page to download the driver from this Web site. The only problem is that apparently he not there no update driver for the graphics card (to share for one for Vista).

    I recently reformatted my computer using recovery of product, and so that's why I was after the new driver. I don't remember for sure, but I'm pretty confident that I have already downloaded a updated driver for my graphic chipset during the last 14 months of use (before formatting my hard drive).

    Now, if someone could offer any help to find the driver, or have information about the problem, it would be highly appreciated. Once more, my specs (you need to enter on the page of the driver) are portable series A100, PSAAC, PSAACE, and I use Windows XP.

    Thanks for reading, and I would appreciate any feedback whatsoever.

    Hello
    You can find the display drivers at the following location:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com (Support & downloads), choose your type of laptop and then download the ATI display drivers.

    Make sure that you select Windows XP as the operating system. Check it out.

    But note that the display drivers for laptop computers are not updated as often as for desktop PCs. If you encounter serious problems with your real driver version then just leave it.

    You can find the other drivers on the internet, but to use at your own risk.

  • Need best driver of ATI X 1600 for Satellite Pro A100-830

    Hey

    I use my Satellite Pro A100-830 (PSAACE-00W002EN) for the most part to play my games, but unfortunately I can't. It seems that Toshiba doesn't provide good enough graph-drivers because every time I play, for example: half-life 2, I get this error specefied: internal driver error in IDirect3ddevice9::present()

    I tried to reinstall my computer all with CD distribution which followed with my PC, but this work of t is not a long time. I also tried to download than the latest ATI drivers, but they can not be installed, nor OmegaDrivers (Installable but didn t work).
    I use Windows XP and I have all the updates of 'Windows Update'...
    Just when I reinstalled my computer, I downloaded all Windows, then the most recent BIOS updates, and after that, I deleted the ATI driver that was limited to the CD and installed the ATI driver 'later' of Toshibas own homepage.
    (Not only Steam-games doesn t work, almost none of my games...)

    Please help me on these "desperate times." Would be happy if you could write the answer directly to my email address:

    Hello

    To be honest, you are not alone in this and many laptop users want to have better performance and play the latest games which can be played with the latest and newest materials. If you have a portable way but want to have maximum on graphics performance.

    Sorry but I think you wait a little too long. We are talking not on desktop computers and notebooks. As a player, you understand without doubt that high-performance graphic has a result a lot of heat, and it can be very dangerous for the portable equipment (placed on the square). Using the most recent and better display drivers will require you probably to a graphics card to work under pressure but the result may be overheating or even damage the material.

    Be reasonable and understand that laptops have lower graphics performance and laptop manufacturer has only one priority: to protect the equipment. Because of this there not much updated graphics card drivers.

    I don't really know what games you try to play, but I tested my old M70 (also ATI) graphics card with several games (not later) and it runs good.

    Bye and good luck!
