Topic: [solved] Issue with a Toshiba Satellite notebook

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite 2450 notebook that I'm trying to automate a Windows install on.  So far, everything is working great - except the video and sound drivers.

The video device is an NVidia GeForce4 420 Go - which I would expect to find in Graphics pack A.

However, during setup (after the drivers get extracted), I start seeing messages about "Application or DLL nvcpl.dll/nvmctray.dll is not a valid Windows image" and so on.

From what I've read at http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/, NVidia does some funny stuff with their mobile drivers, presumably to keep the customer going back to the vendor (instead of NVidia).  I couldn't get the stuff at laptopvideo2go.com to work either, so I moved on.

Now I'm left with drivers right from Toshiba.  This is the only laptop I have of this configuration, and it's a loaner - so having it completely automated is ideal smile

The drivers for this laptop are available from Toshiba - I've downloaded them and installed them manually, and they work without a hitch.

So my question here is: These Toshiba drivers ..  should I make them a 3rd party driver pack, or set the drivers up manually in the OemPnpPath and hope dp_base works?  I don't really fancy the idea of breaking the rest of the drivers just for one device.  If I make the Toshiba drivers a 3rd party pack, how do I get Windows to pick the Toshiba drivers instead of the ones bundled with Graphics A?

Open to any suggestions...

Thanks,

Tim

There was an issue where the G_A dp was corrupted on the server.  You may have downloaded this corrupted DP.  Please try the download again and verify the MD5 hash.

Re: [solved] Issue with a Toshiba Satellite notebook

That did the trick, thank you.  I never would have checked that, given that BASE was reporting nothing new.  Now on to the audio driver...

Thanks again!
