See if the Windows 7 driver will work for you, or at least give you few clues to aid in your search.

If it is not an important driver perhaps you could just disable it in the Device Manager and forget about it?

Perhaps Toshiba Support can help you?

3 Weeks and still I don't have this dam driver. I am so fit up with it all. I am not a tech I don't know how to do this. When my laptop crashes again with blue screen I am going to loose it. Windows 8 is the most stressful junk I have ever used.

Do you have a friend who is technically gifted and can interpret the suggestions that are being made and try to implicate them on your behalf and on your machine?

If not, is a viable option to take the Laptop to a Computer Repair Shop and have them fix Windows 8 for you, or have them install, or return, the Laptop to Windows 7?

If Windows 8 came preinstalled, then, if it not working properly you may have a Warranty claim for return or refund.

If you installed Windows 8 yourself then you may still be able to get a refund.
