    see signature for specs, model number is Toshiba Satelite A500D-10E

    Or does Windows 7 Automaticly update to the newest drivers?

    I just found out it has no drivers, why would anyone make a laptop that has no supported drivers at all? Now i dont have a graphic card...

    have you at least tried searching Toshibas website, next thing to do would be to go to ati, nvidia, intel etcs websites and finding the drivers for each of your laptops components.

    Are you sure you did it properly ?

    Next option is to use 9.12 with Mobility Modder.

    Hey man ur a legend it all worked out now. The last questin is this, the driver u linked me to was from december 2009 if am not mistaken, will i be able to uprgrade to the newest desktop driver and use mobility modder on it, or is the driver u linked me too the best driver i can use with mobility modder?

    thanks rep to u

    Thanks for the rep ;) MM does not support 10 and up , so ur stuck with 9.12 for the time being until there's another workaround to install the 10s drivers.

    It's just a link to the driver installer file from ATI's download site. The restriction on ATI's drivers on Toshiba, Sony and Panasonic laptops is only in ATI's downloader. If you skip that and just directly download the driver, it installs fine - there's no restriction in the driver itself, just the downloader.
