hi id thought id make a new thread on the matter as i dont want to be leading off topic on someone elses problem. basically i have a toshiba laptop that now doesnt seem to have the drivers for the "video controller" and was seeking some advice, i have spent time on the toshiba website looking for this specific driver and have been unsucsessful.

toshiba satellite s1800 314 this is the model of my laptop that seems to be unrecognised by the toshiba website data base???

there fore i cannot get the driver i need...

video controller (vga compatible) seems to be what the device manager wants

any ideas?

Did you try asking in the Toshiba forum ? I saw the laptop without the "S" and everything else is the same , See if you can use that , You are looking for the display driver , right ?

no worries i managed to get the driver for it, you was right it was the display driver, thanks for the consern snooker!

i owe you 1

i do still have another problem, my mouse pad does work, but the two buttons below it dont, would i need to install drivers for these aswell? what are the driver called for them if so?

Hey , I'm glad you got it

What you want for the mouse is the " Touch Pad driver " , I would also get the " Chip Set Utility " as well

hmm i downloaded and installed the touch pad driver, as for the chip set utility i was unable to get it for the os i had, windows xp so i went and downloaded the driver for the os windows 2000, installed it and rebooted, nothing seems to have happened, the mouse buttons seem to still be unresponsive?

See if the " Mouse driver will help , Though its your touch pad that isn't working , right ?

well the pad itself is working, i had to double tap the pad to open applications but what i dotn have is the right and left mouse buttons, which are usually located under the touch pad, they just dont seem to be working.

as for the mouse driver, there actually isnt one avalible for my os apparently.

What part of the world did this laptop come from ? which country ?
Its odd that you can't get the chipset, which is what you need

converse, I have the same problems with videodrivers to toshiba satellite s1800 314. Prompt, please, how you decided this problems.

well as i said before i got the laptop from the school i go to, they did a scheme where they bought a few hundred laptops and sold them to the students as a project and now we are lumberd with them at a ridiculous cost

im not sure where the laptops were bought...
