Re: Drivers
 

Windows doesnt recognise the Network Card, I put Vista on the Laptop

And I have no Idea what Network card is in the Laptop

The Toshiba website gives a list of possible drivers but nothing specific

Re: Drivers
 

Lift the little inspection flap off and have a look..

Re: Drivers
 

Try following the instructions at http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD0302U00000R01.htm for identifying the card.

Re: Drivers
 

The correct page for searching for drivers for your laptop is http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.c...jsp?service=EU

Just fill out the model details, and click Search. It will bring up a list of all the drivers.

Re: Drivers
 

The L series isnt listed, I already tried that

Re: Drivers
 

It is listed if you select 'Satellite' for the Family. :)

Re: Drivers
 

oh yeah lol, cheers

what does the SM Bus Controller come under?

Re: Drivers
 

Chipset i would think.

Why don't you download the 'PC diagnostics tool' in that list then just install all the drivers you need?

Re: Drivers
 

Theres no option for chipset, the others seem to be there

Tempro may help too. http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.c...EMPO_HELP_1_2/

or

That's the direct link for the 'chipset utility' which should be installed first after the OS. Hopefully that will help.

Re: Drivers
 

Ive downloaded the Chipset as you suggested, and I ran it on the laptop.

When its running it says

"Windows Has found new hardware, it then asks me for the disk that came with my Ethernet Controller, as I dont have one I selected for windows to search, and it couldnt find one.

I'm still no better off and getting very frustrated:rolleyes:

Re: Drivers
 

Try http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.c...verLanguage=42

It's from the 3rd page of search results generated by the page I gave you a link to.

Re: Drivers
 

Ok good so far, I now only have 3 Exclimations in DM

Standard VGA
Ethernet Controller
Video Controller


It looks like the SM BUS has been fixed

Re: Drivers
 

The drivers you need should all be available from that search page.

Re: Drivers
 

Managed to get everything installed except the graphics adapter, for some reason this wont install

Re: Drivers
 

Cool.. Not that the Graphics driver wouldn't install, but that you got the rest of it installed.
