Question about newer graphic driver version for Satellite A series

Hi!
Probably I'm not the first and last one who will ask: is there going to be any actualization for the display drivers, because the one that are on the driver-homepage of Toshiba are v8.4.0.0 form 2006 :( For example: Far Cry (1 not 2).
Nearly 2/3 of the landscape is black (when I say black, a mean BLACK). And that's not all. Timeshift wouldn't start at all (yes, I know the card will not support full graphics, but I've played games with much better graphic on my PC at home (with GeForce 5200 128MB).
Good think it was just a demo.
Can't imagine what "nice" surprise it would be if someone gives a 40-50$ for a game and finds out he can't play it because of the drivers.
Had just tried trails of some programs for 3D animation...Well, only problems :-/
Another program told me in a straight line - drivers not up do date.
Updating drivers will fix most graphical issues etc....
Thanks for the help in advance.

What Satellite model dou you have?
As Akuma said, you can try modified drivers or drivers that are not from Toshiba. But with these drivers you could get more problems as now.
As far as I know the games need a lot of power and a Satellite notebook was not made for computer games. The Qosimo series is ideal for playing games.
If you want to play games on a Satellite notebook, you should not set high quality settings in game. It runs better when you play with lower settings.

  • Satellite A30: Question about new Hard Drive

    The hard drive on the above computer has failed. When formating the system hangs at 70%. When running a utility to recover the hard drive again it fails at 70%.
    I am now looking at replacing the hard drive and would like to know can any 2.5" hard drive (speed/make/size) be used (non Sata).
    I would have assumed it would not be a problem but there is no way of changing the settings in the Bios, does the Bios auto detect the drive when fitted?.
    When fitting the hard drive can it be fitted through the access panel on the rear of the laptop or does the whole back need to be removed?
    Thanks,
    Keith.

    Hi Keith,
    The hard drive on the satellite A30 is located underneath the optical drive which must be removed from its slot first. To do this just undo one screw (F5 I think) underneath the notebook and the optical drive will then be free to slide forwards.
    The hard drive will then be visible secured in place by four screws (2 on each side). Remove the screws and then pull the hard drive towards the front of the notebook to disconnect it from the connector.
    You will need to transfer the mounting brackets to the new hard drive which is then inserted by reversing the above procedure.
    The BIOS will automatically recognise the new drive.
    If you choose a drive with a higher rotaional speed than the normal 4200RPM be careful of the extra heat that will be generated. I use a 5400RPM drive in my A30 and it does tend to warm up quite nicely when the drive is being used heavily.
    regards,

  • Are there any graphic driver updates for Satellite L850-162

    Are there any driver updates available for the L850-162?
    I'm just running with the ones that came installed with the laptop but the display is pixellated and jumpy when watching video.
    Any help/advice would be much appreciated

    Sat L850-162 is a part of the PSKDGE and it has been equipped with an Intel HD (INTEL HM76) Express chipset (graphic chip)
    There are more Toshiba series which use the same chipset so you could also use the drivers released for such notebook models.
    For example:
    C850 PSKC8E
    C855 PSKC8E
    C870 PSC8EE
    L830 PSK84E
    L870 PSKBGE
    P850 PSPKBE
    and others
    At least you could also try to use the Intel HD HM76 driver from the Intel page.

    > it says Toshiba modified it and I can't find the driver anywhere
    Thats right. Toshiba offers modified and tested drivers only. Due to specific design and cooling system Toshiba must take care about hardware protection, especially about overheating.
    This is the reason why offered display driver is modified and dont allow GPU to run on highest level that can be reason for hardware damage.
    If you are not satisfied with notebooks performance you should try to upgrade RAM to maximum level.

  • Question about swapping Hard-Drive​s/Creating Recovery Discs

    I have a laptop, Toshiba Satellite C655-S5082, with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit OEM Operating System already installed on it so it did NOT come with an Installation or Recovery disc.
    My problem here is two-fold... First I would like to change the hardware on the PC by changing Hard-Drives from the one that came with the laptop to a large capacity one however since the laptop came with the Operating System already installed onto it I can not install it onto the new Hard-Drive (which for all further purposed we will call Hard-Drive B) now I thought that I could create the recovery discs using Toshiba's Recovery Media Center to create the 4 DVDs however I do not even know if this will help at all since Hard-Drive B does not have a recovery partition on it.
    This however is where my second problem comes into play, when I try to create the recovery discs using the Recovery Media Center I insert the DVD and begin the burning process, however about 75% of the way through the first disc the program slows down and a window pops up asking me if I would like to open the disc with Windows Explorer as if it has just recognized the disc again, I exit out of this and it comes up a few minutes later with an error code of 020150-20-0000000 and a message stating it can not read a file located within the ZZImages directory and then crashes, freezes and I have to end the process via the Task Manager then eject the disc via Windows Explorer 'My Computer' link.
    As you can see my problem is two fold so my questions to the Toshiba Support Team/Administration are...
    1. If I insert the new HDD into the laptop and begin using the recovery discs created via the Recovery Media Center will it be able to install the OS to that HDD and allow the OEM Product Key to be used to verify the OS?
    2. If I can do the above process how do I fix the Recovery Media Center application from crashing and effectively ruining my DVD's, so that I may create the proper recovery dics?
    3. If I can't do the above process due to the Recovery Partitions not being located on that new Hard Drive is there a way to copy and or transfer that Recovery Partition to the new Hard Drive so that the recovery discs do work?
    4. If neither of the above processes work will Toshiba be willing to send me a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit OEM Installation disc via the mail or the .iso/.img file of the disc via e-mail so that I may burn them to a disc myself and install the OS onto the new Hard Drive?
    I do have the appropriate Product ID/Product Key for the OEM OS as well as the Serial Number of the specific laptop itself. Please get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you!

    create the recovery discs ... comes up a few minutes later with an error code
    This sometimes occurs because of the media. Try using a disc from a different source.
    Follow the instructions in the section Creating recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 68 of the User's Guide.
       Satellite C640/C650 Series User’s Guide 
    I do not even know if this will help at all since Hard-Drive B does not have a recovery partition on it
    It doesn't make any difference what's on hard drive B. All of it will be replaced.
    For this, see the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 71 of the User's Guide. You want to recover to "out-of-box state."
    After you have restored to the new hard disk, it will contain everything that the original had, including even all the recovery partitions. So you will even be able to burn recovery discs again from the new hard drive.
    ..the OEM Product Key
    The version of Windows which is restored (not installed) to the new hard drive is pre-activated. You won't need to fool around with the product key.
    ..will Toshiba be willing to send me a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit OEM Installation disc
    If all else fails, you can always order recovery discs from Toshiba directly.

    Your questions indicate that you do not understand the procedure above. If my explanation is insufficient, please feel free to ask for clarification.

  • Why isn't Firefox accepting my graphics driver version?

    I am trying to get Firefox 11 to turn on hardware acceleration, but it's complaining that my up-to-date driver is blocked. "about:support" says "Blocked for your graphics driver version. Try updating your graphics driver to version 257.21 or newer."
    I'm running XP SP3 fully updated and a GeForce 7300 LE with the latest driver version 296.10.

    If you go into about:support, can you copy the exact text that appears in the graphics section? (or take a screenshot).

  • Newer graphic driver from Sat. A305 on A210

    Can I install graphic driver for notebook toshiba satellite A305-S6864 on notebook toshiba satellite a210-16f? And will it run correctly? I want to try this because of the last graphic driver I have is version 8.452 and any newer games like a Unreal Tournament III and Unreal 3 engine doesn't run good. I want to try it on Graphic driver version 8.611, it's much newer and it's more optimized. Does anyone try this?

    I tried to install this driver for a305, but it displayed me that I have everything up-to-date. And It could update only CCC program, setup manager ati catalyst and ms visual c++ redistributable. So no driver showed here. :(
    So my recommend: Don't buy notebook with ATI graphic card, because of there is many problems connected with this like a drivers(No updates from Toshiba's side, official side, ... and bad linux support), unfunctional games (Anarchy online isn't playable on ati's card., and so on.)
    While nVidia's and Intel's Cards has official support from the developers.

  • Finding an older driver version for LaserJet Profession​al M1212nf MFP

    Dear all,
    I am looking for an older driver version for our HP LaserJet Professional M1212nf printer, since with our SAP-Citrix system I could only print reports from that version. The version is 20100331 (1.0.1.19178). Is there any place where I could find this driver version? If not, is there any way to transfer the printer driver to the new computer?
    In the meantime I found the HP FTP path where various drivers can be found: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/. However, I don't know where I could find the driver I am asking for. Could please someone help me with this?
    Best regards,
    Radu

  • X230 keeps rebooting after update of Intel(R) HD Graphics Driver Version 8.15.10.2696

    Hi,
    i just got a new x230. I finished the first time setup and ran the thinkvantage system update utility. It listed the Intel(R) HD Graphics Driver Version 8.15.10.2696 as an optional update, so i ran it.
    After it completes and restarts, the system will just cold boot once it gets to the user login screen. Is this a wrong driver for the x230?
    thanks.

    Hello x230user,
    It is the correct driver for the X230 and Windows 7 but it might have downloaded the wrong bit OS for your computer.
    Are you able to uninstall the driver?  If possible please boot into safe mode and uninstall the graphics driver.
    Please let me know what OS you are using and I will post the correct links.  Is it a 33 bit or 64 bit OS? 
    Hope this helps,
    Alex

  • Does mountain lion comes with graphic, Does mountain lion comes with graphi, Does mountain lion comes with graphic driver updates?  I'm currently using snow leopard, and it seems that there's no graphic driver updates for a really long time.

    Need some advice

    I'm currently using snow leopard, and it seems that there's no graphic driver updates for a really long time.
    Snow Leopard is no longer being updated, 10.6.8, was the last update. So, a "really long time," will be forever.
    Yes, ML has graphic driver updates, but since there is no way to guess whether it impacts your unmentioned hardware, there is no way your question can be answered.

    >cant insall last driver from intel(they told me that i must download new driver from Toshiba
    It is possible to install the driver from Intel but you have to do this is device manager!
    You have to FORCE windows choosing the downloaded driver and this can be done using the advanced installation procedure. This helps to choose the driver from Intel and to finish the installation!

  • Thunderbolt / USB3 questions about external backup drives for my new MacBook Pro

    I have a new MacBook Pro retina 13". It has two USB3 and two Thunderbolt2 ports.
    Until now on my iMac I've kept two backups on two WD USB2 drives. I have never had any problems with any of my WD Passport drives. One for Time Machine and one for CCC (a complete bootable clone incrementally created at 3:30 am every day).
    I'd like to get new portable drives for my MBP for these backups going forward and have a few very basic questions, since this is the first time to have a device with a USB3 port, and the first time I even heard about Thunderbolt.
    If I get a USB3 drive and need to use it to restore things on my older iMac, which just has USB2, will it generally connect and run with USB2 at a slower speed? Or would I have to get a drive with both USB2 and USB3 ports?
    Is Thunderbolt just an Apple thing? Or is it a new standard widely used by peripherals now? I just never heard of it before. Is it faster than USB3?
    Is it common for drives to have both Thunderbolt and USB2 connections?
    Are there "hubs" for Thunderbolt like there are for USB? Considering the limited number of ports, I'm wondering the best way to connect 2 external drives. My iMac has 4 USB2 ports on the back, and I connect one drive separate to each of those ports, rather than going through a hub.
    Is USB3 like USB2 in that if you have even 1 USB2 device (e.g. my Logitech headset) connected to a USB3 hub it will slow down everything on that hub to USB2?
    Any recommendations for good, portable backup drives?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Hi Doug,
    Lets see if we can address some of these:
    If I get a USB3 drive and need to use it to restore things on my older iMac, which just has USB2, will it generally connect and run with USB2 at a slower speed? Or would I have to get a drive with both USB2 and USB3 ports?
    USB3 is "backwards compatible" with USB2 so plugging a USB3 drive into a USB2 port should work, but at USB2 speeds.
    Is it common for drives to have both Thunderbolt and USB2 connections?
    Drives sold as Thunderbolt often (not always) have USB as well, drives sold as USB never (in my experience) have Thunderbolt connections.
    Are there "hubs" for Thunderbolt like there are for USB? Considering the limited number of ports, I'm wondering the best way to connect 2 external drives. My iMac has 4 USB2 ports on the back, and I connect one drive separate to each of those ports, rather than going through a hub.
    Yes there are (but don't expect them to be comparable in price to a USB hub) e.g. see here: http://www.belkin.com/uk/p/P-F4U055/
    Is Thunderbolt just an Apple thing? Or is it a new standard widely used by peripherals now? I just never heard of it before. Is it faster than USB3?
    I'ts an Apple technology (like firewire) and is far from widely used on peripherals.  There ARE Thunderbolt drives etc by companies such as LaCie, WD etc but they are still very expensive (3 or 4x the price of an equivalent sized USB drive).  For some this was a worthwhile expense since Thunderbolt is many times faster than USB2.  But the arrival of USB3 has, in my opinion, changed the landscape.  Yes, Thunderbolt is theoretically faster than USB3 (up to twice as fast) but benchmark tests have shown that in real world situations, the speed difference varies from no difference to Thunderbolt being 25 or 30% faster.  When you take into account that USB3 drives are more common than Thunderbolt and are only a little more expensive than USB2 drives at present, then it's a "no brainer" as far as I am concerned.
    Hope this helps.

  • Question about the Intel driver for the IDE controller

    Greetings to all:
    Lenovo has recently published another driver for the IDE controller and I wonder how many of you that have a T60, T60p, T61 and T61p have been able to actually install it.
    My controller device is:
    Intel(R) 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller - 27C4,
    both in XP-SP3 as in Vista SP1, 32bits versions ( see bellow details of my T60p, which has 2 hard drives)
    Interestingly enough the driver on each is v:7.0.0.1020 (2005/05/23) for XP and v:6.0.6001.1800 (2006/06/21) for Vista-B. They are working well as far as I see, but now and several times before, I have tried to update them but they do not install. The message is that I have already the  best driver. I noticed that the label of the controller is not quite exactly spell out in the instruction text file or the .inf, and the one that comes close, is that of the so call ICH7-M family.
    Why is this? There are at least 7 versions discussed in the history.  It it perhaps because the one for the ICH7-M family is always the same? System update does not install them either.
    Forgive my curiosity but why bother publishing if they can not be installed? Or perhaps somebody has. This is not logical.
    Cheers.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    For those who think I can not follow directions.
    First, the driver for the Intel IDE device in a T60p is obviously from Intel. But there are two ways to get it fulfilled.
    Lenovo publish the Intel drivers with perhaps there own twists, refinements and in the absence of clear contrary information, that they are perhaps more fine tuned to the machine. It uses the following inf files to have them install: iaahci.inf and iastor.inf. They are revised whenever Lenovo fell is necessary and eventually published.
    I must assume they are in use if you have a Vista system originally installed by Lenovo and that is why those inf are the ones you find in the updates.
    Mi T60p was purchased 2 years ago with XP-Pro, just before the release of Vista, with the understanding of a free upgrade to Vista-B shall be send when finally released. An Indeed they keep their word and send me a Lenovo branded full version of MS Vista-Business, some 4 months latter (not an image). Rather than upgrade XP-Pro and to avoid the time in limbo and work interruption of the Vista less desirable over XP, I did a successful clean install into a new hard drive, followed by a Lenovo system update, which changed many drivers and installed programs, etc. But as you might imagine, the Intel IDE-SATA driver installed is the one provided by MS (v:6.0.6001.1800 of 2006/06/21), (which uses a different installation file mshdc.inf) and, until proven otherwise, I must assume more generic, since it is for any and all machines, following the standard of the hard drive SATA type.
    Talking to Lenovo support for nearly 1 1/2 hours last week, was at least not good for my blood pressure, while attempting to explain the issue and refuting a collections of nonsense from the support tech. Eventually a supervisor assure me that the driver was the same and that it has not change for a long time, as it is the same even for XP. Well, why bother with updates if that is the case? But I see that there are others IDE drivers species for animals such as Dell, or HP, etc. Thus you must accept that there is a strong case for a Lenovo modified Intel driver and thus the updates. Tech support could not answer such question, nor they were able to install version 8.6.0.1007 (date 2008/12/04) of the driver.
    I fell the machine is working well, but have nothing to compare with (MS Experience Index 4.3). And as usually happened, sometimes you do not appreciate how sick you are, until you get cure. The question remains about the driver been generic and sufficient or specific and optimal.
    Cheers and happy holidays.

  • Graphic card driver update for Satellite M30x

    I need to update the video card driver in my Satellite M30X (ATI mobility Radeon 9600/9700). Where can I find the latest version?
    On the toshiba support page there is only an old version (dic.2004). I already tried to install the one supply at ATI.com, but did not work (suddenly stops and says that my system does not support that driver). I really need this Update...
    Please Help me

    Hello!
    I did the following:
    1. I visited:
    http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool/
    and downloaded this tool.
    Unzipped it only to read the instructions (I did not start any installation).
    2. Then visited:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=de&FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5
    there I downloaded .Net framework 2.0 (the minimum required version) and installed it on my computer.
    3. visited:
    http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html
    selected: WINDOWS XP (Profeional/Home) ---> RADEON ---> RADEON 9700 Series and clicked on GO
    in the new window I selected: Catalyst Software Suite --34.6MB--7.1--Jan. 10, 2007--Display Driver&Catalyst Control Center&WDM Drivers
    3. Following to the MOODTOOL manual, I started installing the driver gotten at ATI webpage (with the expected result ERROR, please dont give up at this stage)
    4. Started The MOODTOOL following the manual (some scary windows appeared telling what we all know, it is that the driver you are installing is inconsistent and you can continue on you own risk)
    5. I accepted all questions.
    6. BINGO! the last version of Catalyst was installed on my notebook and the software that was experiencing problems with my video card started working....
    Remarks: I hope there wont be any problem with my video card in the future.
    Thaks a lot!
