Plus, I also wanted to show you the steps of how the wifi connection fails ( not sure any help but anyway)

Is the WiFi set as Enabled ? ...

Is the WiFi set as Enabled ? ...

If you mean in the Network and Share Center, and then 'Change Adapter Settings' I have this:

So I assume it is enabled.

Installed the Intel Management Engine Interface, the error remains there.

Jee, this error is persistent ehh You have any more ideas oossibly?

At least you fixed the Ethernet cable, that's massive, big thanks again for that.

 

[maxie]

There should be a Function Key which enables it .... For that you will need the Value Added Package

Downloading right now, I'll let you know how I get on soon.

Hope the program is easy enough to use

 

[maxie]

No problem

 

[Gloin22]

No problem

The Value Package is made up of quite few components i.e. http://prntscr.com/583q59
Do you know specifically which one is for Function Key and enabling it? I assume Common Driver or Utilities one, but after installing I can only find 2 of these in All Programs..( Flash Cards and Diagnostic Tool) xd

 

[maxie]

Try Fn +F8 do any of the Function Keys work ?

 

[maxie]

Just found a Function Key Driver ... It is under the main Drivers page do not click on Windows 7 ...Click on More ...

 

[Gloin22]

Thank you! Some keys still don't work ( brightness, I can work out that myself though) however some do and I believe the Wifi one does.

When I switch off Wifi using Fn + 8 the connections disappear: Screenshot by Lightshot
When I turn on Wifi using Fn + 8 the connections appear: Screenshot by Lightshot

Turning it off and on didn't seem to help it though.

 

[maxie]

Still not connected go to Network and Sharing Center / Click on Change Adapter Settings / Property's ... Post a screenshot Please

 

[Gloin22]

Btw, also a question? Why do you think I got this problem? Is it purely because of the ISO I used?

This one, Download Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO ( 32bit / 64bit ) from Microsoft

I mean, when I did reformat from my original Win 7 disc I had none of these problems. Now I gave disc away to friend, and don't have it at current time I had to use ISO and it seems to be missing stuff.

Or is it because the Toshiba has its own special software on the laptop? Since I did the reformat on desktop it wasn't associated to anything, hence reformating always tricker on laptops? But then again if I used that ISO to reformat my desktop, I would presume it would still be missing these essential drivers.

We always Download from the Link below ...

Windows 7 Direct Download Links, Official Disk Images from Digital River

I'll reinstall my Windows using the ISO provided in here. If the process remains, I have all downloads here anyway and should catch up to this point quickly.

I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow!

Thanks for all the help though, much appreciated

No problem

So reformatted using these ISO, but same problems, same drivers missing..I got to a point I got it yesterday..only the Unkown Device problem on the Intel driver, can't connect through Wifi, but can at least Ethernet. It's a pain, but can be used at least. Any more ideas? I might go up to a repair shop and see what they think. Alongside this I got one more big problem and hopefully you may help

Might as well post this issue here, keep it all together.

So after reformat, aside the network issue, the resolution was bit messed up and still is. In the resolution tab I only have two options...and that wouldn't be problem if the highest possible before refomat was present..but it isn't.. I installed AMD Display Drivers, Intel Display Drivers and Toshiba Resolution from the drivers section on their support site, but that didn't help

How can this be fixed?

 

[maxie]

Look under other Versions for the Graphics ... There is one Dated 2013 ...

See if we can sort that issue first

Fixed

Actually I just purely forgot about Toshiba site, went onto AMD and they had auto update software. Got that and fixed the issue

Now onto next minor one before Wifi, the function keys, some work (enabling disabling touchpad for example) but for me most important ones, controlling brightness of the screen don't. Any ideas for this? Do I need extra software or can set that manually without using function keys?

Now I installed Function Key from their site, plus Added Value Package, but for example Function Key they seem to be impossible to find ie it only find the download file used for installation...

Now When I press Fn + F2 or F3 the brightness icon comes up, but it doesn't do anything.

Right click on the Desktop Personalize / Display /Adjust Brightness
