[SOLVED] laptop vista to xp video driver

kblack · 11-07-2009, 09:11 PM

I recently downgraded my system from Vista to XP. My computer is a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4737.

The original tags say that it was an AMD Turion 64x2 mobile technology, ATI Radeon Graphics, Atheros Wireless Windows Vista.

My current settings says: AMD Turion 64x2 Mobile Technology TL-56.

I have XP Pro installed SP3 and in the Device Manager it says in other devices that i am missing a Video controller (VGA Compatible) Drive.
I cant seem to find the correct driver for my now downgraded computer. And when i do downgrade drivers it says i need a standard Standard VGA driver.

Any help will be appreciated.

BTW, i have a wave-like effect when i scroll down using the internet, i believe it is related to the missing driver but i am not sure.

Thanks!

Thanks, but i've downloaded everything on that page before i sent in my tech request.

None of the downloads from that page have fixed the video controller/scroll-effect error.

Try going to the ATI website and see if they have the driver. From the look of your driver page XP was not an option for this computer.

I wasn't able to find anything on the ATI website, but I did figure out the problem. I had to install Omega drivers, and that appeared to fix the problem.

Thanks for those who have tried to help.
