Check the Toshiba website again....it is there now. I had the same issue last week and it wasn't there; but I found one last week on their website as a beta driver under A505-S6960 which is the "core" for the S6992. My question now which lead me to this forum is what driver for a GT 230M can I use with my XP Pro 32 bit OS that I downgraded my laptop to? I need to know if this Windows 7/Vista only driver can be modded to work on my XP? I'll read on trying to learn what my options are.

NVCO.INF = COMPAL (TOSHiBA only)

NVCP.INF = COMPAL TOSHiBA (TOSHiBA only)

NVCT.INF = COMPAL TOSHiBA (ODM/OEM) (for example Gericom, Olidata, PowerPro, Zepto, ProStar and Sager

NVIV.INF = ACER, TOSHiBA (71.70), ZEPTO (v72.71)

NVTS.INF = TOSHiBA

Is there somebody who can help us out? Maybe a mod will make a driver work for this laptop. Requesting some input from someone who might be willing to help. Thanks,
