Actually, Falstaff, only 1/3 (or less) of the drivers are there. What LadyTech listed is missing.

Unfortunately, LadyTech, you have to look for drivers made with other laptops in mind in order to get the ones you need for yours. So, to start:

Chipset Driver
ATI Display Driver
Ethernet (LAN) driver
Network driver: since Ethernet is listed this is most likely the wireless card, and if I remember correctly it should be the Intel 5100.

Give those ones a shot first. The Chipset driver should take care of a couple of things on that list, so after you've done the above come back, and let me know what's left.

its isnt just the download site, its pretty slick, but the Toshiba folks are very helpful and I imagine a great resource since it is owned by the manufacturer.

I have found that most of the people answering tech questions seldom hang out in off topic. So perhaps choose a specific forum for your thread and you might get better response on your questions

That sounds like some pretty high tech hardware you have there. Must have been expensive. You should try looking in your book for all your manufacturers and look up the support sections of their websites. Nearly 100 yeah!!
