[SOLVED] Toshiba Satellite A55-S302

EDIT: I MISTYPED THE MODEL IN THE TITLE BECAUSE I AM STUPID THE ACTUAL MODEL IS A55-S306

I've been having a devil of a time finding drivers for this laptop. The Toshiba support site seems to think it doesn't exist, as it's not in the products list and searching the website for it yields zero results. I've tried googling it like mad, but all I get are results for that worthless Driver Detective program.

If anyone could point out what I've obviously missed (it has to be something, right? I mean, Toshiba didn't make the equivalency of the Bermuda Triangle in a laptop, did they?), I would greatly appreciate it, as this thing is missing about ten drivers. :/

Operating system is Windows XP.

Unfortunately, that download is just Driver Detective. One of dozens of website fronts they use to sell their fake product.

I have no idea why Toshiba doesn't list this laptop, but if anyone else has this problem, simply try using a similar laptop in the series for driver downloads. It seemed to work for me.
