Qosmio, the G25 one. I updated the RAM to 1.5, but I also can upgrade to 2GB.
Hmm...if Toshiba doesn't offer the driver, there is not a lot that can be done.
I can tell you the VSO software works okay in Vista, so there's no issue there.
I would also think the Intel stuff would be okay.
All I can suggest is (and you have probably done this) is:
- Contact Toshiba and ask about Vista Drivers for your laptop
- Look up specific hardware and manufacturer and see if they have a driver.
Was this a "Vista Capable" or "Vista Ready" laptop? That makes a difference (and likely the support from Toshiba as well).
The other method is to backup an image of the laptop (ex. Ghost or Acronis TrueImage), and then wipe and do a clena Vista install on the laptop and see what you need. Obviously, this would suck a lot of time, but it's the only way to be sure, short of drivers.
That laptop is about 2 years old, right? Honestly, I wouldn't put Vista on anything less than a Dual Core, and a laptop less than a year old. Unless there is something compelling you to go to Vista.
