Re: Satellite C855 - How do I install device drivers without WLan connection?

I had to reset my son's Toshiba C855-1GP yesterday.
Bought it about a month ago and windows 7 was pre-installed.
I upgraded to Windows 8 Pro via online download.
I was able to reinstall Windows 8 via USB, but when I turn it on now, it's completely empty of programmes and applications.
I realise I need to download Windows 8 device drivers for the model in question (writing this from another laptop), but not sure how to do this as the wireless device is not being recognised and I am being told to connect via ethernet. Is this just a matter of buying a cable and connecting it from laptop to router?
Will establishing an ethernet connection enable me to download the relevant drivers?
I can't figure out which Wireless driver to download either, as 4 different options are coming up (is that because I'm searching from a different computer?)
Could someone list the hardware spec for the C855-1GP here so that I know which drivers to download?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for all the basic questions!

Thanks so much for your reply - I actually found an old ethernet cable that was lying around the house and downloaded WLAN driver from Toshiba website - 1st driver didn't work but 2nd one did! Now that I have internet on the computer I will be able to download drivers individually as I need them. Good to know I could have downloaded the driver onto a USB and installed that way - will keep it in mind for the next disaster!! Appreciate the helpful advice.

  • How Do I Install Apple Drivers For Windows XP?

    Okay, so I have a 15 inch mid 2012 MacBook Pro that is running OS X Mavericks. After many attempts, I managed to install Windows XP 32 bit as a secondary operating system on the HDD using Disk Utility. The only devices that Windows XP recognised upon the installation were the keyboard and the trackpad. I then inserted a Snow Leopard disc to install the Apple Drivers for Windows XP and it appeared as though the drivers got installed(the Boot Camp icon appeared on the taskbar next to the digital clock). However, when I restarted windows, none of the devices other than the keyboard and the trackpad worked. Does this imply that the drivers didn't get installed? If so, why is this and how can I install the drivers? If the drivers did get installed, why aren't the devices working? Please help me out, if possible. Thanks in advance.

    It does not work because you are running Mavericks and trying to use non-Mavericks drivers for an operating system (XP) that is not support on your hardware or your operating system.

  • How can I install gutenprint drivers for my Epson Stylus Color 440?

    Good day all!
    I have and old and useful printer -Epson Stylus Color 440- and just bougth a cable for connecting it to USB port. Add a new print on its Print and Scan Preference Panel and it was recognized inmediatly, but I was told there was not any driver to that printer.
    Tried to set "Epson Stylus Color Series" on its driver but when I went to print, printer seemed to work but does not eject any ink. It seemed as if I were ran out of ink; its car moved over the places occupied by the photo and sounded as normal printing, but not a drop of ink. I checked on an older windows pc, and ink is full, printed normally. I also looked for its drivers on Epson pages, but it seems there are only available for previos Mac OSs, not for X.
    A son told me that in his Snow Leopard MacBook White there's a dirver called "Epson Stylus Color 440 gutenprint" on his Print and Scan Driver Menu; haven't tried to print from his MacBook yet, and as I searched, those are open drivers.
    I wonder if I can download and install that "Epson Stylus Color 440 gutenprint" from the web, of if there's a way to copy it from my son's Macbook, when he comes and check.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • How do I install OS10.4 without the disks

    I have a older Macbook core duo which came with 10.4. I had to replace the hard drive but now the original OS install disk is damaged. The error reports scratches on the disk. How can I install the OS without the install disk? I tried installing Leopard from a disk but the Macbook rejects it. So it looks like I need to start with the original OS. Any ideas?

    It might run 10.6/SL...
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.

  • How do i install adobe reader without installing products from google.

    i dont like google, i dont like a bunch of worthless taskbars crowding my browser. so how do i install adobe reader without installing google products when you dont even give me the chance to say i dont want them?
    It is unethical to force onto people products of any nature that they do not want. i do not want google products so by your installation for adobe reader automatically installing google products without my consent is unethical.

    I don't understand the "forcing" part; the bundled software is clearly optional, and can be unchecked before the download.
    Or using the download link that Michael provided earlier (which is posted at least a dozen times every day in this forum).

  • How can I install Adobe Acrobat without installing the browser extensions?

    Hello All,
    I am a computer Technician at a high school and we have very strict browser requirements for different services. We need to use Adobe Acrobat to convert PDF's, and other tasks, and we need to use Chrome to open Adobe Reader files. The issue is that I want my 3 browsers (Chrome, IE, Firefox) to open PDF files using Adobe Reader XI. All my plugin settings are correct to use Adobe Reader to open PDF's, but it either downloads a PDF to the computer, or opens up in the browsers default reader (Chrome does this), or opens up to a blank page with a blank error message. I went into the programs Internet settings for Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat and it's telling me the browser opens them up using Adobe Acrobat (With no option to change the setting). The problem is only solved when I uninstall Adobe Acrobat.Then I am able to open PDF's in Adobe Reader just like I want (but this gets rids of Acrobat). This leads me to believe that when I install Adobe Acrobat, there is a registry key or something that is telling the computer to open PDF's in browsers using Acrobat. My initial question is this: How can I install adobe Acrobat without linking it to the browser. I JUST want Adobe Acrobat as a program installed on the computer.
    Additional Info:
    - I build a computer image and use that image on several computers. This issue persists with all of the computers I installed the image on.
    - I am using Adobe Reader 11 (Now DC, but I am willing to use either) and Adobe Acrobat Pro CS3 (I think it's version 9?)
    Thanks for the help.
    - Charlie

  • Access to installed device drivers on windows using Java?

    Is it possible to get access to installed device drivers on windows using java.

    Java has APIs for accessing the OS, The OS has APIs for accessing devices.
    Java does not have APIs for direct access to devices.
    However, depending on the device, you get what you want most of the time. You would only access the device directly if the device isn't supported by the OS or Java directly.
    Which device do you have in mind?

  • Can I install Arch Linux without Internet connection ?

    It sounds noobish but my friends like to know if they can install Arch Linux without Internet connection ?

    mcmillan wrote:
    The core iso should be all you need, just boot off that to start the installation. It's been a while since I did an install, but somewhere along the way it gives you an option to install off the cd or do a net install. You just need to choose the cd installation.
    That being said, all you'll have without internet will be what's on the cd, so you'll be left with a pretty minimal install. If you want to update and install additional software then you'll either need to get the computer temporarily  connected, or download the packages on a different computer and transfer them.
    I am looking to do something similar. I have the core system installed on an older laptop, but I cannot get the wireless working (it has no ethernet). I've tried downloading the libgl packagesfrom a mirror to a thumbdrive, but it's a dependency nightmare. Is there a better way to do this?

  • How do I install sound drivers on the PC side of my MacBook pro

    My son used bootcamp to create a PC side of our MacBook Pro. However, now there is no sound. I asked about it on a previous post, and was told to install the drivers from the installation discs. However, neither of us knows how to access the discs from the PC side. I could use some step-by-step instructions.
    AND, another issue: I tried to download a massive (3.2GB) program (for a school course) and was unable to do so on the PC side because of corruption (SLLLOOOOWWW download speed). So I downloaded it on my eMac and transferred it to the PC side of the PowerBook via flash drive. I was able to install it, no problem (or so I believe), but then I couldn't open the program. The only desktop icon was the Install package (.dmg). I went in to the 'programs' section (of the PC) and tried to select it there, but again there was no icon to open it. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi again Bob,
    When I went to that link about Bootcamp, it didn't tell me how to do the thing I really need to do. I can boot up into windows (hold down alt. key while restarting, right). But how do I ask Windows to find the right drivers? As you can see, I'm clueless on this. I need a step-by-step set of directions. Do you know of any post that has them? And if I have to "manually go to the device site", I assume that that means that the drivers don't exist on the Mac install disks. What device site would I go to?
    About the PC program, I may not have been clear enough. The program I downloaded was not in Mac format. I didn't try to open it or run it on the Mac. I just spoke to the people who make the program and they say that, yes, it is possible to do what I did; the problem has to do with serial #'s of some sort. I'll let you know how it turns out.
    TIA
