VAP for Win7 64bit affects WLan speed - Satellite P300 PSPCCE

Question

I managed to get windows 7 professional (64bit), windows update pretty much installed all the updates.
Without any problems, but there are a few things that it cannot find.
The hotkeys and mouse track pad drivers. I went onto the toshiba site, then downloaded and installed the value pack. All drivers worked fine, but I noticed the drivers provided by toshiba for the WiFi card has made it stick to 65mbps.
I left it for a few hours and the speeds did not fluctuate at all, when i did a system restore and used the original drivers found by windows update my WiFi connection was ranging between 117 mbps and 150mbps.
I dont want to use the toshiba value pack becuase it will ruin the wifi drivers, I tried updating the drivers but they wouldnt work.
Is there any way to have the drivers for the hot key functions and mouse/trackpad seperately?
I would like to use them, If not Toshiba admins can you split them from the value pack so I can install the 2 drivers.
I forgot to mention: I have the Satellite P300 PSPCCE

Hi

I doubt this is possible. The VAP is a package which contains different tools and utilities and the whole package cannot be slivered.
To be honest Im not quite sure why the VAP should slow down the Wlan.
But Ive got a idea;
The VAP contains the Toshiba power saver. It enables some options in Vista power management.
For example there is an option Wireless Adapter Settings -> Power Saving Mode
There are four power saving / performance settings. If your Wi-Fi connection is unstable or slow, try selecting a higher-performance setting.
You can also go to device manager -> Wlan card properties and there you could find some tabs.
In one tab called Advanced you could change the setting to get a higher speed.
