Satellite A660-07U - Can't install new display driver

When I first got my laptop it wouldn't even boot out the box! So I googled the way to get it up and running and it wouldn't install Windows 7 32bit, so I installed Windows 7 64bit and that worked.
I am one of the users who is also having their laptop freeze on them constantly. I have done the Bios update and it is still doing it. So I decided to try updating the graphics drivers with the new ones from this website, but it seems they wont install. I got the Windows 7 64bit drivers first as I have Windows 7 64bit installed in my laptop. But it says it cant find the required hardware, I figured its because my laptop is not a 3D version, should that even matter?
So I then tried the 32bit drivers and it says im using wrong system os for those drivers.
So how about some drivers I can use?

Hello
> it didn't work out the box
Why it didnt work? What problems you had exactly?
> The X64 drivers for download will NOT work on my A660, says something about not the right hardware (which is where I got the 3D idea from)
Well, in my opinion it has nothing to do with 3D support. If you can find new driver updates for Satellite A660 they should work because they are tested by Toshiba.
As far as I know there is no A660 model with 3D support, thats only available on A665.
Fact is that 32bit drivers never work on 64bit operating systems. So just forget this point.
Satellite A660/07U seems to be an Australian model and belongs to PSAW3A series. On the Australian page there is only one display driver available for Windows 7 64bit
What you can try is the display driver from European page where you can find a similar model PSAW3E:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
On this page I could found two driver version: 260.51 and 189.58. As far as I know latter one works properly without freeze.
> You could have just said you don't know the answer or are you always this condescending?
You want some help or not? ;)
I mean I also didnt know that you are still use the Windows 7 installation from Toshiba, you only wrote about new Windows 7 installation.
Anyway, it was simple misunderstanding.

  • Satellite L650-1M0 - CAN'T install new display driver

    Hello!
    I have Toshiba Satellite L650-1M0 and i CAN'T install new drivers to my graphic card: Mobility Radeon HD 5650 from the AMD site. Why i cannot do it? I want to install the latest display drivers because i have problems with display mode. My laptop is set on 16:9 but some programs display in 4:3.
    Please give the latest drivers on the Toshiba site or tell me what should i do to download drivers from AMD site. I have Windows 7 64x ;).

    >Why i cannot do it?
    Im really wondering you are asking something like this. It is well known that support for mobile units (notebooks) is offered by notebook manufacturer and not by hardware manufacturer.
    Due to specific notebook design and limited cooling performance graphic card cannot be upgraded as on graphic cards designed for desktops. New driver means more performance. More performance means more heat and result can be graphic card damage or switch-offs because of critical hardware temperature.

  • Can't install XP display driver on Satellite A200-27N

    Hi,
    i did install xp on my a200-27n, but when i try to install the dispaly diver http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/display-20070809122620.zip, it give an message error that the ware is not validated for my computer
    pls i need help

    Have you read the installation instructions?
    You can find it also on the Toshiba website and list you should use as recommended installation order.
    Before you can install the display driver you must install:
    1 Windows XP
    2 Windows Updates
    3 Sun Java 2 Runtime Environment
    4 Intel ICH8M Chipset Utility
    5 Intel 965GM VGA Driver
    If you did do this and cant install the driver, install it manually. Go to the device manager => right click on the graphic card => update driver

  • Satellite Pro L500 - Can't install Realtek LAN driver

    Hi All,
    I have recovered a Satellite Pro L500 Windows 7 pro with disc created from notebook, but now can't install a Realtek LAN driver for the notebook.
    The software driver installer dosn't seem to run correctly all the time, have tried several times to install, with only once a realtek "repair" option becoming available.
    When I did manage to install driver I got a error "device failed to start". after recovery I also had problems with a "PCL simple communications controller driver",
    which seems to have been a Intel MEI according to the VEN, DEV info displayed in systems info.
    Are these problems related and how do I Install the required driver in a automated system if the system won't detect the hardware correctly?

    Have downloaded from many sources the correct driver, but the motherboard or the OS is not discovering the network adaptor so even if the driver is installed the divice is not recognised as being there(physically installed). when installing the driver software i get the error from the realtek installer "Realtek network controller was not found. If in deep sleep mode is enabled please plug the cable". have no idea what or how deep slee is enabled and have reset bios settings to default and have reset cmos.

  • Can't install new nVidia driver 301.42

    I have the Lenovo U410 and the nVidia control panel tells me a new driver update is available, version 301.42 for the 610M card. I have the 295.53 installed. But when I download the driver, it says I can't install because there isn't a compatible card. Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks.

    Well I think you should try this driver instead
    It's 304.79, and I know it's for Windows 8, but it works anyway.
    It is the 64 bit version, so if it says it's incompatible, then here's a link for the 32 bit as well

  • Re: Satellite P500-12F - Can't install new nVidia display driver

    Good evening,
    I am sorry for a stupid question, but I just do not know what to do. I have Satellite P500-12F.
    I wanted to download newer graphics drivers for the NVidia card, so I went to the NVidia website and downloaded a new driver, which is dated back to December 2009, instead of mine, which is of July 2009 However, when I try to install it, the system says that theya are no hardware which is compatible with the new driver.
    Could you tell me, what am I doing wrong? I could use any guidance as well. Thank you very much!

    I have deleted the pre-installed graphic driver, and tried to replace it with a newer driver from the NVidia site. The installation was not successful, and now, thanks to You, I know why. I have already went to the Toshiba site and downloaded the driver from HERE .
    I have installed it, and everything goes well, as it used to be. Could You tell me, is the driver which I have installed from the Toshiba site the newest one? And how often do they update this kind of laptop drivers?
    Thank You all for Your help, it is really valuable for me! :)

  • Satellite P100-347 - Can't install new VAP

    When using the Flash Cards they always "mess up" i.e. blurring and basically they are unusauable. So I went on the toshiba website and downloaded the newest Value Added Package.
    However, when I start the installation it says its already installed and I should remove in add/remove programs (control panel). However, it is nowhere to be seen in the list and ive also looked into it on ccleaner and advanced unistaller pro. There's no way I can remove the old one....therefore I cant install the new one!
    Any ideas?

  • Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE: cannot install ATI display driver

    Hi all,
    I have experienced a series of problems with my Mobility Radeon X1400 graphics card that I'm sure could be resolved by downloading the latest drivers. This I have to do from the Toshiba website as the ATI website offers no support for it. But I have experienced multiple problems downloading the file archive.
    It always says that there is an error: "Header error... (missing or corrupt)" and it asks me to redownload the file, I've done this three times now with the same results, I'm starting to get a little frustrated- can somebody +please help+. I have noticed that the downloaded (and useless) file is smaller (by over 50%) than the intended size-- I don't know if that helps at all...
    Pre-emptive thanks if you can help me with this problem.

    Hi
    What to say I have noticed that the drivers download server is very slow. Looks like an overload possibly all the packages would not transmitted correctly and therefore this error message appears.
    I know that this could be very frustrating and I really understand you because I have tried to download other driver and the performance is really slowly but I dont see any other solution as trying to download the graphic driver package again
    Good luck buddy

  • Satellite A660-07U freezes when Streaming video

    I bought a Toshiba satellite A660 07U 2 months ago.
    From the beginning, when I try to watch any streaming video from Facebook,Youtube etc, my system totally hangs and keeps on making zzzzz....noise and I have to manually shutdown the notebook by pressing the power button.
    This is happening very often now. I contacted toshiba support and the response was to change my microphone boost settings in Volume configure..:smileysurprised:.
    Does anyone have any tips for solving this problem?

    Hi,
    Today this also happened while I was watching a movie on DVD.
    The graphics card is NVIDIA and I have updated the driver for it.
    Once it freezes I can't check the background processes as the whole system ceases to respond.
    I don't think its a problem with the player as streaming video is sometimes played with WM, sometimes with Real player.
    Toshiba claims this laptop is a special edition as a media entertainment tool with blue ray dvd player.
    I am a software engineer and i do run heavy softwares like Visual studio and sql server database on this pc but never had any problem, but only have this freezing problem while playing video.

  • Satellite X200-245 can i install a second HDD

    on satellite X200-245 : can i install a second hard drive ?
    is it possible ?
    There is a place for it but no sata connection on the mother board where can i find this connector

    No you cannot install the second HDD because there is no HDD connector which would allows to connect the HDD to the mobo.
    And No, its not possible to upgrade the mobo with such connector.
    The X200 has the two HDD bays because some X200 support 2 HDDs and some dont support it.
    Your X200 doesnt support 2 HDD

  • How can I install new windows on NB200-10z without a CD drive?

    Hi,
    I have a mini laptop "Toshiba nb200-10z" and it doesnt startup anymore.
    I would like to do a recovery, but it also doesnt work.
    I know there is a shortcut like press the 0 button when the laptop is starting up.
    With this shortcut you can start the recovery to reset the software.
    But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
    So I think the recovery drive/partition is lost.
    How can I install new windows on this minilaptop without a CD drive?

    I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.
    The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer.
    Before you begin, you will require the following:
    USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
    Windows 7 ISO Image file
    UNetbootin
    Note: If UNetbootin doesnt work, try out the Microsofts official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.
    Now insert the USB drive, run UNetbootin, and select Disk Image as ISO. Browse your local drive for Windows 7 ISO that you downloaded and click Open. Now Select Type as USB and choose the drive. Once done, it will look like a bit similar to the screenshot shown below.
    Click OK and it will begin extracting all installation files to the USB drive. The whole process will take some time (10-15 minutes), so have patience.
    Once the installation is complete, reboot your computer. Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu.
    Change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. Once done, save changes and restart the system.

  • Just installed new hard drive in mac book pro 15", when trying to boot OSX from original disk I still get a folder with a question mark in it. How can I reinstall the OS?

    Can't seem to get my mac book to boot from the CD after installing new hard drive.
    I keep holding down "c" while restarting the machine with the disk in but it just keeps ejecting the disk and giving me a folder with a question mark.

    If your on 10.5 with a Intel Mac, I think Apple has jinxed the firmware so you can't boot from the 10.5 disk anymore.
    So far several people, myself included, can't boot from a 10.5 OS X disk on a Intel Mac.
    Your going to have to buy a 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk, it's wayyy better than 10.5 anyway, faster and most stable even better than Lion. Have to buy iLife though as it doesn't come on the 10.6.3 retail disks, only free with grey disks.

    I can not install new update in Photoshop CC, does any one know, how I can install the new update?
    Photoshop CC show me, if I look on "Help" -> Update, there is no update. But my actual license is very old....
    I tried it, to do it manual. But there is also some problem.

    totally agree.  at this point i could care less if "apple" supports it.  i'm not renting my ipod touch, it's mine.  i paid for it.  and i'm not asking to do anything illegal with it, all i want is to get rid of this POS ios6 and get back to being able to use my ipod touch the way it was before...working. 

  • Can't Install New Apps

    I can't install new applications to my iPod Touch. I've restored the iPod, reset both it and the computer but it still won't work. The unknown error code is 0xE8000050.

    You may want to test with a different free app. Also try to restart the device, and try to sign out then back in the iPhone.
    Turn off Cellular data as that won't work if it's a huge app.
