Having problems with Toshiba laptop again =(

[KusH305]

Heyy guys

Remember i was having problems with the Toshiba satellite P25-S507 and it was the video driver so u guys gave me the advice to reinstall it and it worked!  A few days later i went to turn the computer on and it looked like it didnt have the driver installed for a second i thought it booted up in safe mode,  so i once again installed the driver and it's working just fine.  Also when i start up the computer before it goes into Windows XP loading screen, a black screen comes out with just the mouse pointer then a blue screen comes out, after the blue screen then Windows XP loading screen comes out. Anyone know whats going on?

Probably an issue related to the graphics driver. You can try this for more clues:

You may also want to run a hijackthis log to take a peek if there are any issues.

go ahead and post the log here in another post in this thread.

(Unnecessary (deactivated) entry that can be fixed.)


Did you get this latest graphics driver direct from Nvidia or the Toshiba site?

[KusH305]

Actually on the NVIDIA website they don't have the driver (NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200) and on the Toshiba website either =/ anywhere else i can go to find it?

[lostcoast]

Go here and choose option #2,, or find it manually

[KusH305]

  NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 71.89 Inventec requires that you download the driver for your GPU from their support site.

Laptop drivers should come from the manuf. site...try Toshiba again.

I can't find it on the Toshiba website and i tried to google it and all that keeps coming out is Driver Detective.
