    R835-P56X Bios updated to Version 3 The laptop came with 64 Bit but I did a clean install with Windows 7 32 Bit because many of my programs and games didn't work with 64 Bit.

    I can't install Toshiba Value Added Package,Toshiba PC Health Monitor and
    Toshiba eco Utility because they are 64 Bit only.Can I get this software in 32 Bit somewhere?

    I have a problem in Device Manager where it's showing ! Other Devices PCI Simple Communications Controller.I took a screen shot of Device Manager with 64 Bit installed just incase I ran into problems.Looking at the 2 Device managers side by side 32 vs 64 it looks like Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter is missing from the 32 Bit Device Manager.

    I'm assuming this is Intel Wireless Display but I'm not 100% sure.Because every time I run Intel Wireless Display I get this error message.Unable to load the Intel My WiFi Technology Dll file

    Anyway there is no Intel Display driver for 32 Bit so I had to download that from Intel website.There is however Intel Wireless Display for 32 Bit which I have installed but the ! in device manager remains.So I uninstalled Intel Wireless Display and downloaded the Wireless Display driver 32 Bit from Intel website hoping that might fix the problem.But the ! in device manager remains.

    I have also tried windows update but it can't find any driver for Hardware.
    Here's a side by side screen shot below

    Your WiFi is not installed correctly. You are missing the Intel My Wifi technology software. Of you install the latest wifi driver, version 3.4 or later then the Intel My wifi software will install by default.

    Thanks for the help guys,I've been reading about this WiFi adapter Link 1000 and I've heard it's not that good with range.Some people have replaced this WiFi adapter with a much better and stronger one which also has Bluetooth as well.It's called Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 Wireless 802.11n with Bluetooth
    Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6230

    So I'm not going to bother installing any more drivers with this WiFi adapter
    as I want Bluetooth as well.I'm going to buy this new WiFi adapter and then install drivers.Hopefully everything works out well.
