Hi again,
I have a question how to update BIOS on Win7 x64 ultimate. I downloaded newest version of BIOS for my laptop (Toshiba Tecra A8-185 PTA83E). After unzipping there is only .exe file. When I try to run that file it says, that my OS is unsupported. When I run it in compability mode (with Vista or XP) it starts upgrading, but gives me an error: " BIOS upgrade is failure (8). BIOS is not able on that configuration." What should I do? I really need new BIOS. Can I run it during boot from USB drive or whatsoever?
 

Solution
If you want sound, have you downloaded an audio driver for the machine. If there is not a Win 7 x64, you might try a Vista x64 version.

What do you show if you right click on the speaker and choose playback devices? Are the speakers checked? You may need some special utility from Toshiba to turn on your speakers.

As far as the bios, the downloaded file should have a readme file in it, at least that is what the Toshiba site seems to say. You may need a x64 bit version of the download.
