Toshiba Satellite L745D Driver install nightmare.

[Duploboy]

Hey all, I have a toshiba satellite L745D with windows 7 premium installed. I had to reformat recently because windows was having some issues. I tried my best to save my drivers because i knew it would be a hassle to replace them but unsurprisingly that didn't pan out.

So i went onto the toshiba website and downloaded all my drivers, which arrived in the form of an .exe file. When i open it a program called "Toshiba Archive Extractor" opens, it immediately begins (presumably) extracting the drivers. Each driver though encounters an error before it can be extracted. Some of them fail a CNC check but most simply say that they encountered an error.

If anyone could help i would be eternally grateful and would consider naming my firstborn after you.

P.S. if you're wondering how i am accessing the interwebs i have a wireless usb adapter.

What issues caused you to reformat? As to the drivers, you can extract them with 7-zip and run the drivers directly from within the unzipped folders.

Did you do any other diagnostics before a reformat though? This is the sort of issue that would put suspicion of the hard drive at the back of my mind.

Well i reformatted because windows crashed and then when i finally got it to run again without using safe mode i couldn't get any of the wifi adapters or sound adapters to work. I took it to a computer tech and he told me i should reformat so i did. I'll try your suggestion now. Thankyou for your speedy response.

So i was feeling a little suspicious about my hard drive because i tried to install 7zip but it was corrupted too. Then after that everything started to degrade. So i reformatted again and wiped the backup partition because it wasn't helping me any ways. Now that i did that everything has been working 10x faster and everything came together like nothing! All of the drivers are updated and it's purring like a kitten! Thanks for your help schiztech!
