Help!!! Driver needed..

hello..
I got this Toshiba 2435-s255 laptop from my mom 3 months ago, it came in bad condition (missing some driver, shuts down unpredictably, etc). Me and my friend solved the shut down problem ( thanks to Black3!! ) :-D and decided to reinstall it with XP pro sp3. Installation went really slow but finally completed. after installation, we googled around for audio and video controller driver, found it and installed it but nothing changed!!! We looked almost everywhere to find this drivers or is there something that we missed? :confused

please help guys, I really need this laptop!!

 

yellow marked items are: Multimedia controller, Unknown Device, PCI Modem, and Video Controller (VGA Compatible). ooh, i've tried to download and install the audio driver from Realtek and several other websites, but the result in Sound and Audio device properties still says "Device cannot start (code 10)" and shows "No Audio Device"..:confused

I didn't install any 3rd party software. The shutdown problem was caused by clogged heatsink, and we've managed to clean it and now my laptop is running with a cool breeze..

Attached is my Everest Report..

 

heres a link to toshiba's support site for that laptop.

i'm not sure if the link works for you. If not, you will have to navigate there yourself, start here, and input the model info. support.toshiba.com . i noticed that those drivers are listed on the site. sound, wifi, video, net card, etc.

 

Why didn't i think of that before lol.. Ok, i'm going to try that.. Thanks.. Major geeks rocks!!

 

Helllppp!! I've downloaded all driver that i need.. Install it.. But still nothin changed.. I think i'm missing something..

Need help guys!! Thanks..

 

what ones are still showing up in the device manager as yellow?

 

unknown device and PCI modem.. after i installed the driver (audio and video) it shows no yellow "!" marks, "but i still can't hear any sound and in sound and audio properties still shows "No Audio Device". one of my friend said that i should enable my audio in BIOS, but i don't know how to do that on BIOS (pressing f2 in start-up, right? or?).

thanks guys, i really appreciate it..

 

I've downloaded the chipset driver and installed it.. it detects my multimedia audio controller.. yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy:-D.
when i installed the sound driver, the yellow ! mark is gone in device manager, but it still shows "no audio device" and can't play any sound..???

here's something funny, when i click the link for modem driver it directs me to the support bulletin, and there i saw "sound" with the title says "sound may skip when replaying MP3 files". so i opened it and there i find "audio.zip".. i downloaded it and have it installed, and now it shows "Realtek ac'97" instead of "no audio device".. but :confused i still can't hear any sound from my speaker..:confused..confused

any suggestion?

thanks.

 

Start, Control Panel, Sound and Audio.Check that volume is turned up and is not muted.(Sometimes its the simple things).

 

try repairing your xp installation (note do not rein-install just repair ), it worked for a machine i was repairing this weekend

 

hi..

sorry it takes so long for me to reply..
i've tried everything, but the result still the same.. i can't change the volume because it's grayed (i attached a screen shot of it).. i also did what Halo told me to, but the result is nothing..
ooh when i finished installing the sound driver, i can't shutdown my laptop, it stopped at "Logging off".. is the driver damaged??
