Vista drivers - when?

I understand that support Toshiba engineers are unable to read this forum, but I'm still creating a separate thread on this subject in the hope someone from Toshiba here will one day and see how many people are in need of drivers vista for computers laptops "vista capable", purchased in 2006.

Its been a long time since the last version of Vista.
I guess that the whole subject is rhetorical, but anyway...

[Edited by: admin]

It's really amazing. 10 colleagues, I have in my office, 8 of them are permanent blame Microsoft every silly thing and it is also on all the forums I've read. Now the Vista is 5 days on the market and you can't expect good pilots and cry here for Vista drivers and other things.

I tested Vista on my notebooks from two months ago. OK, this is something new and interesting. I do not understand that many users are curious how it looks like to and so on, but why that permanent beg for stuff of Vista? You know that a lot of software you can not even install on Vista machines, and in my opinion, it is better to wait a while to get all the stuff from the laptop to the manufacturer and then install and configure Vista with good drivers, tools and utilities. Is it so important to have it now or maybe two or three weeks later?

If you are so sold on Microsoft and Vista, I apologies for all the words that I wrote.

  • Availability of Vista drivers for Toshiba laptops

    A few months ago, I installed Vista RC1 and it worked well with Vista picking up all the drivers outside the slot for memory card and sound

    This was not the end of the world. I could just use my camera docking station - although it was not as convinient and the sound worked, but was not very good. It's abit intestine and the virtual sound thing didn't work.

    I just checked on the download section of files on the Toshiba site and there is still no Vista drivers - I have my laptop Satellite A100

    Does anyone know when Toshiba released drivers for these things

    Vista was released to the manufacturer (RTM) for a few months now and its on sale to the public very soon

    I want to know before I installed the final version - that we received

    I have a Qosmio G10-133 with the motherboard upgrade which I believe has the Nvidia GeForce FX graphics chip Go6600, not the old motherboard which had the chip 5900.
    I'm trying to find a recommended driver for this chip when using Vista as an operating system.
    I know that Toshiba is no longer supported this discontued model and certainly do not have the drivers on their website.

    Anyone got any ideas where I can get a suitable driver, or even if there is a.
    Site Web de NVIDIA simply States that the computer manufacturers portable invidiual adapt drivers for their chips and do not provide a driver.

    Any ideas?

    My understanding of the Toshiba doesn't support Vista drivers for the Qosmio G10 The Vista seems to be supported since the Qosmio G30 series

    I read several threads on the compatible graphics driver for Vista OS and Web site _ www.laptopvideo2go.com _ provides some nVidia drivers.

    But note; These drivers are not tested and so you can install and use at your own risk

  • Vista drivers for certain things on my Qosmio F20-136

    I have a level of bog F20-136, with upgrade of ram 1 GB.

    I have recently updated for windows vista premium 32 bit os and am having some difficulty finding drivers to use certain parts\service on the machine that were there on the original configuration.
    Vista has done a good job sorting of various parts of the computer, and it is currently very well with all the major parts of the laptop.

    I searched vista support and drivers, but found them is it that only for the series f30.

    I need help drivers\programs to help me with the following...

    -the touchmouse on the laptop (it works fine, but the extra features on this topic for example buttons at the corners, staggered, sliders, etc. do not work)
    -the SD card reader
    -the media buttons on the top of the laptop computer keyboard
    -function key ("FN") does not work when combod with the 'F' keys (for example FN and F7 landed brightness)
    -the main managers of Toshiba (for example ones you change the series of boot etc.)

    That's it, I've noticed so far, so if anyone has any suggestions that would help me, I would be eternally grateful and very happy!

    -A the QOSMIO user very happy.

    Qosmio F20 is not supported by all the Vista drivers.
    I found a list of Vista support units but the F20, G20 was not there.

    But please check a few discussions on laptops Qosmio Vista Forum:

  • Satellite Pro A300D - how to get Vista drivers

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300D laptop a few days ago.
    The first task was to wipe Vista Home Premium there and put professional Vista I needed to connect to a domain.

    I did this and then install the drivers from the Toshiba driver download pages.
    There were a lot of riders who have failed, but I managed to fix most of the problems aside when I display the laptop to a projector, I can start cutting the bottom of the external display only.

    In any case, I am now led to believe that there is recovery of HARD drive on the disk that could give me the right drivers that they have been installed at the arrival of the laptop.
    How can I get these out of the system on a disk for example so that I can resinstall?

    Thanks for your time.

    Hello

    > Anyway, I am now led to believe that there is recovery of HARD drive on the disk that could give me the right drivers that they have been installed at the arrival of the laptop. How can I get these out of the system on a disk for example so that I can reinstall?

    I think that this is not possible because the recovery of HARD drive contains only unique image files and you will not be able to get only the unique drivers of the recovery image.

    HARD drive recovery can be used to perform a new installation of operating system from the HARD disk (without using the disc).

    The European driver Toshiba page usually contains all drivers Vista compatible and necessary for your laptop model. So I doubt that your problem with the projector might have something to do with the Vista drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • 32-bit Windows7 64 bit Vista drivers needed

    Hi all

    I'm looking to confirm drivers that need to be used when upgrading a custom install of Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit

    My system is a Pavilion a6109n is a 64-bit system

    I use vista 64-bit drivers that are the only drivers 64-bit available?

    Again something I do not have the HP disk I bought directly at retail.

    Message edited by MsRoboto159 on 11/19/2009 08:00

    Hi MsRoboto,

    Your Vista drivers will probably not work. Some of them might, but probably not worth the hassle of trial and error. Since you use complete installation of operating system Microsoft, you would probably be to wipe out all of your existing software and data, particularly since you're going OS 32-bit to 64-bit. Then save info all important first.

    Here are the links for Win 7 drivers, you will probably need:

    Chipset

    Audio (accept any agreement from Realtek, click Next and then download Win 7 version).

    You will also need to find applications such as a DVD player and disc burning utilities. After you upgrade if something does not work well, tell us in the forums and we can help find other drivers or software that you need.

    For reference, here's your specifications.

    that seems to be true because the latest drivers for my P300 with 4500 m are 2008!

    So, I checked for L670 Vista display drivers and did not find one! Even for Win7 do not seem old already,
    is that mean Toshiba is not compatible Vista more? I have to use windows 7 only?

    I can see in the specifications of the laptop your laptop came with WIN7 64 BITS HOME PREMIUM.
    Can you confirm this?

    Why are you asking about the Vista drivers if you got the new OS to Win7. You want to use Vista or what?
    I want to say Win7 is much better than old Vista OS so I put t understand what you exactly want. To use Vista or you ask here for more recent WIn7 display driver?

    The best state test would be to check this with a PC which has Vista.
