Win 8 is doing odd things???
« on: April 08, 2013, 11:47:14 AM »
greetings CH!

I have yet run into another issue that I've found puzzling. I decided to install windows 8 on my toshiba system and im happy! Computer runs great. However there are somethings that dont click.

First thing----> When i was installing drivers I installed Ati radeon HD 4250 mobile Driver and each time i boot up the machine i got a Runtime error stating this..

                                                                                            Microsoft Visual C++ runtime Library

Run Time error!

Program C:\Windows\System32\atibtmon.exe

this application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in a
unusual way.
please contact the applications support team for more info.

After i got this i went ninite.com and downloaded the latest Java Runtime envirment and i still get that error. i even reinstalled the driver.
im out of ideas at the moment. Am i missing Drivers? or some plugins? what would be causing this is mess up?
My system specs are as follows:

Windows 8 Pro
Toshiba satellite L645D PSK0QC-02007
AMD Athlon 2.2ghz 1mb L2 Cache
4Gb DDr3
500Gb 7200RPM seagate momentus Drive
Ati radeon 4250 HD mobile Graphics

Forgot.. One more thing.
I put the laptop to sleep by either clicking sleep or closing the lid, it will go to sleep and then wake up 5 seconds later.. whats going on?

This will occur if you got the vid driver from anywhere else but Toshiba.

Why does that happen? i got the driver directly from ATi cause the drivers that Toshiba usually offer are outdated and useless?? anything i can do to fix this issue?

Because laptops are very finicky about drivers...and the Manuf. write them specifically for each unit...no matter who's components are involved.
DLoad and install the drivers from the manuf. site then re-boot.

Mobile adapters are customized to each manufacturers specs.

Windows 7 Drivers work best on Windows 7, and occasionally have issues with Windows 8. You might consider installing Windows 8 Drivers.
