When I installed D3, it told me that my drivers may be out of date. So I followed the steps on the Blizzard website, but I can't find the drivers I need. It leads me to some 'detector' program that's supposed to automatically find what drivers I need, but it says that program is incompatible with my type of laptop (Toshiba).

Oops, forgot to post the driver version I have.

Yeah I found that, but like I said - that tool says it's not compatible with Toshiba laptops (my laptop).
I don't know where else to get the driver itself, not the tool. |

Oh, so you're right.
You'll have to go to Toshiba's website and get the drivers from them. They are the only ones that can provide drivers if AMD's drivers are not compatible. |

Laptop drivers are annoying a lot of the time. Most mobile cards are not officially supported and the released drivers need to be edited in order to make them work (and often the manufacturer doesn't provide updated drivers within the year if ever).
Go to laptopvideo2go.com, get to the forums and find your card, and read the stickies and other instructions on how to use the files they provide there to update. Good luck!

Thanks. I read something on Google just now that said if I install these new drivers, it could overheat my laptop or cause any number of other weird problems. :( Diablo 3 is running okay on my computer, so I guess I'll just play with this. Sigh.
Thanks guys. :) |
