I installed Windows 7 Pro but,
I don't have the graphic accelerator for it.
Tshiba do not support Windows 7 for this model at all.
I've searched all over the Web but I've had no luck in locating it.
I hope you can help me in finding it.
Thank you!
PS: I'll pay a billion dollars for this driver.:D
I'm guessing that model has a Nvidia Geforce Go 6600 or 6200 from looking at the XP driver .inf.

You can try this driver and see if it works. Go 6600 and 6200 are listed.

That laptop is really underpowered for Win7. I hope you at least upgraded the ram.
2 GB of ram at least.
Memory

Configured with 512MB DDR2 SDRAM (both slots may be filled)
•
512MB(min)/2048MB (max), 2 memory slots using 256MB, 512MB,
or 1024MB PC4200 DDR2 533MHz SDRAM, dual-channel
support requires two memory modules of same capacity and
clockspeed

Expect it to be slow, but it would run Linux MX-14 or Linux Mint 17 nicely.
HI GOOD OLD TRAIN !
I've a 1.50 gb of ram so far.
but to tell you the truth I'm not a big fan of linux this days.
Hi Midknyte
I'm on it!
And of course I'll let you know if it worked
see you
You didn't say 32 or 64 bit, but I figured 32-bit because of the laptop specs.
Hi Midknyte
The drivers that you suggested didn't do it,
I'll search a little more and if no luck, I'll revert back to Win xp (I've a Image of it)
Thank you for your effort!
Too bad it's a nice rig.
Did you confirm that you have an Nvidia Go 6200 or 6600?
Did you remove video card from Device Manager and allow Windows to redetect it after you installed the drivers?
Did you try drivers from Windows Update?
That system is pretty old, so even if Windows 7 installs ok, it'll run slow. 1.5GB RAM is still on the low side for Win7.

I have a spare 1 geg "somewhere" I'll do the DM thing to confirm the vid specks
I'll post back.
Thx.
The drivers that you suggested didn't do it
(Thar's what I Saud in my post)
meaning it did not install at ALL!
I did what you suggested DM didn't say anything info at all.
one need to install the driver for DM to tell you what you have in details.
what I don't understand is most of my compdressed films are playing just fine,
and that's without any codecs installed.
Midknyte
you gave me the impression that you know something about this issue.
thx for your effort tho!
I'm sure you didn't mean that in the way it sounded.Quote:

You should have said the drivers didn't install at all. I thought you meant they installed but didn't work with your hardware.Quote:
The drivers that you suggested didn't do it
Did you extract the folder and then run the \Guru3D.com\Setup\Vista_Win7_x86\setup.exe?
Are you running Win7 32-bit or 64-bit?
If the drivers didn't install, then removing/redetecting the video card wouldn't have helped.
You should be able to use GPUz to find out the video card details.

After more digging on the Toshiba site, it looks like your laptop has Intel GMA900 video (915GM chipset). Not sure why they listed nvidia drivers on the support site for your laptop.

If that's the case, then you're out of luck. Intel isn't releasing official Win7 video drivers for the 915GM.

You can try the Intel Graphics Update Utility to see if a generic driver could work, but that's the last straw.Quote:
Is Intel releasing any new XPDM drivers for older graphics controllers?
Intel has no plans to release new XPDM drivers for these products:
Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family
Intel® 82915G/82910GL Express Chipset Family

You are right!
It could have been worded with a bit more finesse,
Thx
Midknyte
Thank you for your effort,
your help is appreciated
I've read both your post and copyed those four links.
I'll work on this challenge and report back.
Thx.
Midknyte
Thx for your effort and suggestions.
I've decided to install a smaller drive and revert back to Win XP. (I've a saved image of it) Plus I did image the Win 7 OS work.
This proceeding are now closed (that's what a great American general said to the Japanese at the surrender ceremony!)
