    I've run into a problem with regards to the video card. I downloaded the ForceWare driver from the nVidia site and when I try to install it it says no drivers found. I go on the tosh site and install the driver restart the comp and I go into my display settings and it still says im plugged in to a "standard vga".

    anyone know where i can get a working 8700m gt driver for vista x64?

    I also noticed that on the device manager i have to devices that aren't recognized:
    Mass Storage Controller and
    Unknown Device

    www.laptopvideo2go.com for the video card drivers and if im not mistaken you need to download the chipset drivers from intel to get rid of the "mass storage device" showing up as unrecognized. the other unknown device is most likely the toshiba bluetooth stack that you can download here... http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=download get the 5.10.12 package.
