Tecra A2- Display driver compatible with Windows 7?

Hi All,
I've recently upgraded my Tecra A2 to Windows 7 (obviously without checking compatibility). It's working great, but I cannot find a driver (if there is one) for my video card. I've exhausted everywhere on the Toshiba support pages, and forums, and I'm of the impression the only solution is to buy a new card.
Can anyone help?
Cheers

Ta mate,
I'll check intel's website tonight to see if i can find a driver. If anyone has a URL to send me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
Yes it is an older A2, however I've upgraded the RAM from 256MB to 1GB (win7 wouldnt have even operated on it without the upgraded RAM). I upgraded to win7 out of curiosity really. Not dissatisfied with xp, just wanted something different, and the new features on 7 are pretty cool.
If I cannot get a driver, I'll have to source out a win xp disc and reinstall xp, get the old drivers reinstalled, and be content with the fact I have a fully operating computer. I am about to start building my own PC, so it probably wont be that much of a biggy.
Lesson learnt from all this? - Check compatibility before changing your OS!
Cheers

  • Tecra M5 BIOS not compatible with Windows Vista

    Hi, I ran the Vista Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft and it reported that the BIOS on my Tecra M5 was not compatible with Vista and to contact Toshiba. I am currently running version 1.7 - the latest available I think. Is Toshiba going to release a version that will be Vista compatible, or a fix so that I can run Vista on my M5?
    I forgot to mention that the machine is a UK M5 (PTM51E)
    Many thanks,
    David

    David,
    That's not the case. Whatever the results of the software advisor that you have run, you can install VISTA ok on your Tecra M5 PTM51E portable but obviously subject to you having purchased the license (full version or upgrade) from a local supplier, however, you will have to carry out a new (clean) installation of VISTA which means you would have to wipe your hard disk drive in the process. Obviously, making sure that you backup all of your data first to another system (or to external media) and be aware of the software that may/may not run correctly under VISTA before starting the process.
    There's a new M5 BIOS released for your M5 which would then upgrade your existing 1.7 BIOS to the latest version.
    The standard 512mb Tecra M5's run VISTA very well. No Toshiba software is available, however, maybe this will be released over time so you can adjust power settings and utilities as you can now under XPP.
    After installing and registering/activating VISTA you will be prompted to install various updates (including an updated graphics driver and some patches.) Take these options and then your portable should work better. That said, even the standard VISTA installation works fine (AERO support appears to be improved on the new version plus it looks slightly more optimised and also runs a little quicker.)
    If you are familiar with your portable, IT aware, and unsure of wiping your existing system totally, then you could also purchase a additional internal Toshiba SATA HDD kit for the Tecra M5 in order to try VISTA in the short time. Another internal 80gb/100gb HDD would give you the capability to try VISTA without losing all or your XP software and software/networking configurations, enabling you to move back to XPP should you have any (none-Microsoft) software or antivirus software issues stopping you from working after your installation of VISTA. I appreciate that there are costs associated but this would allow you to switch between XP and VISTA more easily (than wiping your current system, installing VISTA and then going back to XPP should any problems occur, not to mention the time savings that this could introduce !)
    With VISTA, just take >>GREAT CARE<< with your software. Many (none- Microsoft) software applications have some issue(s) with VISTA because it is new. So, this may mean that you may have to purchase a software update in order to ensure that you have 100% compatibility with your favourite applications (or have to replace your existing software versions entirely with new ones.)

  • External DVD drive compatible with Windows 8

    I am looking to purchase an external DVD drive to use with the U430 laptop which is running Windows 8.  Which units does lenovo offer that can run in this OS?  Would the 0A33988 work; the specs only list Windows 7.  I don't think the DB60 will work in Windows 8.
    Thanks
    joe

    I recently ran into that problem. In order to have the hard drive compatible for both PC and Mac it must be in a FAT32 format. In order to do this though all your files will be deleted (in order to reformat). You can do this by plugging in the hard drive into you mac and going under disk utility and there you will find your hard drive and under erase change the format to FAT32 and then you press erase (all will be deleted off the external drive though)

  • Satellite 2770 - Display driver problems with Windows 2000

    Hello,
    I've a Toshiba Satellite 2770 and installed Windows 2000 on it. If I'm not wrong the S2770 does have a S3 Savage IX/MV graphic card and I downloaded the Windows 2000 driver from the S3 website but it wont be recognized by the hardware detection.
    Then I tried the Windows 95SE driver from the Toshiba website, but Windows 2000 wont acept it due it's not suitable for Windows 2000 as it seems.
    What to do? Isnt there a Windows 2000 driver out there which works? I dont want to work in 640x480 and 16 colors forever!

    Hello
    You are absolutely right. Your unit has S3 Savage IX8 graphic card but problem is that your unit is delivered with WinME operating system. That means that there is no support for other operating systems. All drivers are designed for each notebook model and OS separately. The only way to solve this problem is to install the driver given by graphic card producer. If this not works you have a big problem.
    Sorry but I really dont know what you can do. Maybe you can try to install the driver designed for Sat 2750. There is the same graphic card but driver is designed for Win98SE.

  • HP Deskjet 6122 Driver Compatible with Windows 7 32-bit

    I need to find out how to update the driver for my HP Deskjet 6122.  We upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit and the only instructions I can find show using a USB cable from the printer to the computer, and the HP Deskjet 6122 does not have a USB cable nor does it have anywhere to plub on in?  Is there another way?

    It should work OK, since PSE is a 32-bit application, and Win7 can run applications in "Compatibility Mode" using the settings for earlier versions of Windows.

  • Old JVC Video camera, driver only compatible with windows.

    I have an old JVC camera, i would like to transfer the video which is on mini DV cassette via usb to my macbook pro however the device is not recognised and the driver is only compatible with windows. 

    I have an old JVC camera, i would like to transfer the video which is on mini DV cassette
    It would help if you give us the exact model JVC camcorder you have.
    That said, nearly all miniDV camcorders (including JVC miniDV cams) transfer video via Firewire (aka iLink or IEEE 1394), not USB.   And no drivers are required, at least not on a Mac.  If you have a more recent Mac that has a Thunderbolt port (no Firewire port), you can use an Apple Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter to connect your camcorder to your Mac (although you may also need a 4-pin to 9-pin FW cable).
    Also, on miniDV camcorders that have both Firewire and USB connections, the USB connection is almost exclusively reserved for transferring still photos from the memory card in the camcorder, not video from the miniDV cassettes.

  • Ts-L633a DVD drive not compatible with Windows 7 64bit upgrade

    Ts-L633a DVD drive on my Pavilion Dv7 1232nr is not compatible with Windows 7 64bit upgrade but will work fine if I downgrade back to Vista 64bit so what DVD drive is there other then the TS-L633a drive that I already have that is compatible with the Windows 7 64 upgrade so that I can buy and install on my laptop.

    Here's one out of nowhere:  do you have CD/DVD software that includes Sonic DLA or something like it?  I've seen that take over drives and prevent normal operation.
    If you right click on the drive and hit properties, are there any suspicious looking tabs?
    Total WAG, and about 1% likely, but there you go.

  • Is there a version of iTunes that is compatible with Windows 8.1?

    Is there a version of iTunes that is compatible with Windows 8.1?

    Thanks! The procedure worked great for me (using iTunes 10), however there was one caveat. I also had to edit “AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi” with Orca and change the entry in “LaunchCondition” from
    VersionNT64>=600
    to
    VersionNT64>=501
    in order for the Device Manager driver update procedure to work, and iTunes to recognize my iPhone4. Prior to doing this, only “digital still camera” was displayed in the “imaging” entry in Device Manger. Once I did the above, “Apple Mobile Device USB Driver” was listed, and the procedure worked as written.

  • "Your PC's CPU isn't compatible with Windows 8". How to turn on XD flag on IdeaPad z570 BIOS?

    When I attempt to UPGRADE (not a clean install) from Windows 7 sp1 to Windows 8 Release Preview, the installer halts and shows the message "Your PC's CPU isn't compatible with Windows 8.".  In searching for a resolution to this, some people have had success in avoiding this error and successfully installing Windows 8 by turning on the XD setting in the computer's BIOS security tab.  My Lenovo z570 Intel i7 BIOS version 45CN47WW does not display this setting and so I cannot change it.  How can I change it?  I found comments on Lenovo's site that ThinkPad laptops BIOS had been updated to be able to switch this xd flag on, but found nothing for the IdeaPad z570 BIOS.
    A work around was to use a different installer: the setup.exe located in the sources folder of the Windows 8 install cd/usb drive.  This installer does not check for the xd to be on.  But I will need to set my Lenovo laptop's xd flag on when the final version of Windows 8 is released. 

    Could be too that things will be different in the final version with the NX bit setting than in the ctp. Nice that there is a workaround available :-) for the tech preview.

  • Latest version of firefox program is not compatible with windows 7

    After I updated the latest version of mozilla firefox in my laptop which is a windows 7 program,it doesn't work anymore. Every time I open the firefox, the screen goes black and I can't see anything on the screen but black. And when I troubleshoot and fix the problem, it says that "COLOR SCHEMES IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 7". Program compatibility is the 1.5 version or 1.0. How to fix this one? I uninstalled and already installed a new one but still to no avail the problem is still the same. Should I install the older version? Where to download the older version? It seems that in mozilla firefox website, only the latest version or the 3.0 version is available.

    hello Gracerilla, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).
