    ok heres the deal, i had xp home installed on this system once , and it worked great, until i got a virus, i had to format my harddrive and start over fresh, but i have a slight problem, i cannot seem to get the Motherboard drivers installed, i thought it was that Crestline intel driver that came with the disk would work, it says it installed, but i still cant get nvidia's drivers to recognize my video card. ;( . so thats where im stuck, i dont remember what i did last time, but any help would be appreciated.

    the video drivers from latptopvideo2go are the ones i tried, i actually got it to finish the installation cuz i forgot to put the added inf file in the folder, but it is still not recognizing my video card and everything is running slow still.

    I had the same problem, only the drivers your download from Toshiba works but they never update so it's crap.

    You have to go to laptop2go and get their drivers and then go into your settings and uninstall your existing driver and then install the laptop2go drivers and it should work, it's how i got mine working. runs crisis with a 30fps average on some medium some high and some very high settings.

    If that fails go into your properties and then go into the driver properties and select install driver from in there and then browse to you're folder where the laptop2go driver is extracted and then it'll tell you that it's not a signed blah blah blah but go along with it anyways.

    If you still can't get this to work i'll give you more specific step to step instructions later, i currently don't have the laptop on me as i'm at uni.

    After I learned that you need the modified inf file for laptop drivers, I've never had a problem with drivers from Laptopvideo2go installing on my X205. Make sure you use the modded inf and you should be fine.

    Download and extract the driver you want to use, download the modded inf file and drag and drop it into the files you extracted for the video driver, click replace if it asks you, and then run setup in the driver files. Should work fine.

    I agree with above, modified inf should solve your problems. However, if you need chipset drivers etc, let us know.
