Click Downloads and enter your model then look for Drivers.

Thx for your reply.

can u tell me which ones i need? there are so many of them.

Does the laptop still run in windows?

If so see if you can ID the specific hardware it has. Right click My Computer then click Manage then Device Manager.

You will need LAN and or modem drivers. WIFI if wireless. Touchpad. Sound.

There are various DVD drivers depending on device. You probably do not need BIOS. Nor UserGuides nor Utilities unless you want diagnostic tools.

I would put them all on a CD and then you can pick and choose as needed.

Thx for ur help..
1 more thing is the graphic card.. the picture is not smooth and blinking for some conditions, how to know what's graphic card is used for the computer? i couldnt find any on device manager.. or i could've missed something...

Thx.

It would be listed under Display adapter

If there is nothing under Display adapter or if Display adapter is not listed then your device is not being detected which means there are no drivers installed.

Toshiba lists no graphics drivers.

See if you can ID the motherboard with CPU-Z:

my friend just told me that his laptop's graphic card is ATI, and i've searched google, and found that a60 series uses ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP, i've downloaded multiple times, but the software cant be installed. any idea how to install it?

I don't see that model listed at ATI

Sounds like it is not the correct driver.
