Re: Satellite A210-16F: Where to get newer driver for graphic card??

Hi!
I have a Satellite A210-16F laptop with a Ati Mobility Radeon HD 2600 graphic card...
After checking my device manager i found out that my graphic drivers are from 2007 which can't be good :S but for the life of me i can't find the right drivers anywhere... if you check out the screenshot, you will see that the drivers are from 2007 and after i click on "update driver" and then "search automatically for updated driver software" it never finds anything and tells me that my drivers are up-to-date :SS Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Oh, also, my OS is Vista Home Premium (32-bit)
Thank you!

One solution for your problem is, that if you upgraded your OS to Windows 7, there's a new driver for Mobility Radeon 2000 Series (Catalyst 9.6) on the ATI/AMD driver page(that one with the OS selector etc..). It's states however, that these drivers are for 7's beta releases only, but if you install them even on regular Win7 system, they're working fine and after a while an update for them appears in Windows update(It should update to Catalyst 9.7). I run them almost a week without a problem and it even resolved my Mass Effect 2 crashing issue.
One problem remains though that the driver is only for Win7(when you select Vista, it's really annoying: "Please contact your device driver manufacturer..." for you.).
It's truly more annoying than sad, that Toshiba, although in the Win7 supported laptop models list states that P200/A200 series are supported, the only thing supported after all seems to be a bluetooth module(since only that one got a new driver). So far there was no problem with an old display driver for 2600, but recently the new Mass Effect 2 crashes almost randomly during loading stages(with error log in computer management stating that the faulting module is ATI(anything here), and I only expect more such errors/problems with new games to come, because almost 2 years old drivers! So I think guys in Toshiba software engineering should really wake up.

  • Where to buy new drives for Xserve RAID

    I have been looking all over to buy NEW drives for my RAID. Can anyone direct me where to go to buy new drives with the slot attachment? 500GB or 750GB
    Forgive my lack of specific/correct terminology - I am a newbie when it comes to the RAID.
    Thanks in advance!

    I think the fine print says DVD Player support requires 10.3 or higher. But you can still play DVDs in the original drive you have, and are looking to add a drive in the empty bay, right?
    Also, Patchburn is available for 10.2 to add native burning support, or you can maybe find an old version of Toast (5 ?) for 10.2 that should allow you to burn to the drive.
    http://patchburn.de/download.html
    I agree with the suggestion to upgrade to 10.3 or 10.4, if you can, but you should be able to make this drive work in 10.2 (and still use the original for OS 9 and DVD Player) and decide to do the other upgrades later on if you want.

  • Where to add new drives for best speed

    I've got a G4 here, and I want to add a 300GB drive for video scratch data - obviously I'd like everything to be as fast as possible.
    My question is, the front drive bay has ATA buses labeled ATA33 and ATA66, which I'm assuming mean it uses the lower speed ATA. On the other hand, the higher speed bus (ATA100) already has the main system drive plugged into it. Which location for my new drive will get me the best performance, on the same cable with the other drive, (ATA100) or on a second cable (ATA66)?

    Not everyone realizes that the MDD has native large (48-bit) support on both the ATA-4 and ATA-6 buses.
    What you may want, though, is an ATA or SATA controller if you want to create a scratch RAID.
    the ATA-4 (ATA/66) bus is about 4% slower than ATA/100. I'm not sure if you will see the 65MB/sec that your new drive is capable of. But that has nothing to do with being ATA/100/133 or ATA-6 or ATA-7.
    You could use the 300GB drive as boot + scratch drive, using the ATA/100 bus, and keep /Users/account on ATA/66 drive bus. Otherwise, if you already keep OS/Apps only on startup drive, and have data and media files on another drive/bus, you might want to look into (S)ATA controller.
    There is an article (sticky) on MacNN Forum, under PowerMac, that lists what Macs have native support for 48-bit etc., very useful. The QS/2002 was the first PMac to support >137GB drives too.

  • Where to get new cord for North American wall outlet (110V) for macbook pro 2011?

    Hello, all.
    I work in Korea, bought a macbook pro here.  It's really great but I have a problem -- I need a standard north american, three pronged, power cord which will run from the wall outlet to the 60v mag adapter, as the wall outlets here are different than in North America and I will be returning there shortly.
    I have only been able to find total adaptor replacements or what looks to be cables for older adapters.  I would like to avoid having to replace the entire adaptor as it works fine -- i just need a cable that will plug into it and a standard, three prong, north american outlet.
    Does Apple sell just the cable that precedes the adaptor?  I have been unable to find one if so...
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Mertcrimmer

    Amazon is your friend in this case

  • Where to get cheaper ram for my ibook g3?

    Hello,
    is apple the only place where I can get new ram for my ibook g3? Checked their store, 512 ram costs 150 usd. That is expensive enough.
    Thanks in advance.
    imac g5 (isight) 20", ibook G3 (white)   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   airport extreme base station

    Check out RAMSeeker.com. They will compare different RAM vendors' prices to help you get the best price.
    Be sure to buy from a firm that gives you a lifetime warranty on the RAM you buy. While RAM doesn't fail very often, it can happen. Enough vendors give a lifetime warranty that you should not settle for one that doesn't. I would recommend paying a few dollars more if necessary to get the lifetime warranty.

  • Where can I get the driver for my HP DE8A4L external USB CD/DVD drive?

    Where can I get the driver for my HP DE8A4L external USB CD/DVD drive? 
    On the label it says, Model HSTNN-PD06-91
    and
    HP PN: 518819-001 Rev.B
    I've had my Mini 110-1000 running our music system for a couple of years, no complaints.  When I wanted a CD/DVD drive, I purchased a DE8A4L external USB drive directly from HP.  It didn't come with a driver disc.  When I plug it in, the USB subsystem does not enable it.  Device Manager shows a yellow exclamation point, saying, "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware..."   It is running Windows XP Home Edition SP3.
    What gives with this device?

    Following up on tactic 2) above, I upgraded the BIOS from version F07 to the latest version available on the HP download site, version F19.  This went well, but unfortunately the system still does not recognize the device.
    When I try to Device Manager, and select the DE8A4L DVD device, and try "search for a device driver", it says it cannot find a better match for the driver already installed.
    This Mini 110-1000 only came with 1 Gb RAM, and Windows XP Home.   Is one of these a critical limitation for running an external USB DVD drive?

    Windows 7 64 bit comes with an emulator for 32 bit software so your computer is capable of running that software.
    Something with the transfer so uninstall all BlackBerry software and try again.

  • Does anyone know where I can get a driver for a Kodak G610 easy share?

    does anyone know where I can get a driver for a Kodak G610 easy share? tried the Kodak site but the software doesnt appear to work

    There is no longer any support from Kodak for their EasyShare cameras on Mac OS X.
    If you connect your Camera via a USB cable, does iPhoto launch?
    If iPhoto doesn't launch automatically, try launching iPhoto first,then plug your camera in via connected USB cable that came with your camera.
    If iPhoto doesn't open, have you tried using OS X Image Capture App to download your photos from your camera?

  • Where is the new update for N95 US Versions?

    Where is the new update for N95-3 and N95-4? i have this two phones and i fell disappoint and mad becuz i bought this expensive cellphone and we have no support from Nokia.. this is no fair we are consumers like any other in the world. And the european model of N95 has a lot of updates and we r exent of the updates and support.. thats no fair my cellphone cost a lot of money and no support? only one update for year?.. my cellphone N95-4 compared to the European model is a garbage. Because the European added many things with update.. like autorotate and improve speed.. im about not to buy another Nokia because we have no support !! Nokia set aside the American market.
    THATS NO FAIR !!

    Actually, it's the American market that set Nokia aside.
    Nokia initially refused to allow network operators to customize their phones' firmware. Consequently, American network operators all but stopped buying Nokia phones. Nokia has since relented and does carry out a certain amount of trade in America now, but they're nowhere near as popular over there as they are elsewhere in the world.
    Add their lower popularity in America to the fact that you all use different frequency bands from the rest of the world, which means a different set of hardware, and you begin to understand why the American market is a bit of a bugbear and why Americanised products are low priority. If American networks followed the same standards as elsewhere in the world you'd all benefit from the same updates.
    Note that this is just personal speculation and not necessarily Nokia's official standpoint. I am not a Nokia employee.

  • TB 27.0.1 (W7) will not "get new messages for all accounts"

    I installed W7 with IE11and downloaded the latest TB (27.0.1) I have added five email accounts (more to be added) and none of them show up in the left pane - only global Inbox and two folders I created. I can get new messages manually one account at a time, but "get new messages for all accounts" (or Shift F5) does nothing. Most of this happed after MS installed well over 100 updates to my W7, but some of my accounts never did show up in the left pane even before the W7 updates. I have reinstalled TB - nothing changes.

    Matt, I thank you for your kind and gracious response (Ok I will say this only once....). Be assured that I would never think of asking your advice again.
    The crux of the matter has been resolved by checking the “Include this server when getting new mail” box in each account’s “Advanced” box under “Server Settings.” Now every time TB checks for new mail (including on startup), the process is displayed in the lower left portion of the window. I wish this had been explained to me more clearly early on.
    Having all accounts in the left pane has become unimportant now that I can see the mail being checked on startup, periodically, and on Shift F5.
    I consider this thread closed.

  • I have a ipod classic 5th gerneration. Is there any way I can get a new battery for it? Or does Apple only get new batteries for the 7th generations? Thanks

    I have a ipod classic 5th gerneration. Is there any way I can get a new battery for it? Or does Apple only get new batteries for the 7th generations? Thanks

    Yes you can still purchase replacement batteries your iPod from third party repair companies.  Apple does not offer replacement parts.
    Do a Google search for iPod battery replacement and you should get a plethora of results.  There are many good deals on Amazon and eBay.
