      All laptop drivers should come only from the laptop manuf. site...
      Each time you re-install Win the drivers need to be re-installed.
      Use the Driver CD that shipped with the laptop...if you don't have it visit the Toshiba site for the ones you need...Chipset drivers go 1st...then all others.

          Just re-install them...it'll overwrite the others...make sure they are correct for your Model # and OS.

              Did you do what was suggested above ? ?
              The BIOS has absolutely nothing to do with your issue...

              P.S. ...If you did an incorrect BIOS flash all bets are off.

                i did reinstall all drivers even from the webcam although it is not recognized and the system doesn't look for them   i'll say again that the webcam is recognized as unknown device just like on the print screen i send earlier

                The webcam drivers may be part of the MBoard chipset drivers...
                Again...did you re-install ALL the drivers listed for that Model ? ?
                Chipset drivers 1st...then re-boot and do all others.
