I just reinstalled my laptop and i download all the drivers from the toshiba site and installed them,however some wont work.I mean,after i start the installing nothing happens after it extracts the files to a temp folder.About 4-5 drivers failed like that.Including the display driver.I downloaded a driver for my graphics card and it worked,but i can't control brightness at all now.Motionjoy doesn't seem to detect my bluetooth card at all,but on the birght side,I can now create folders,use the usb ports any many other stuff that did not work at all before.Also in device manager Ethernet controller has an exclamation mark,PCI simple comm controller has it too,and an Unknown device.Thanks in advance.The laptop model is toshiba L855.I installed the chipset btw.

EDIT:Also,when i reinstalled windows 7 it did not ask me for anyting.INstead it's registered to XXXXOEMXXXX
EDIT2:The brightness does change when i log off and log in the user account,by closing the laptop lid.
EDIT3:Searching windows update installed the PCI simple comm controller.Ethernet and unknown device left
EDIT4:Installed Ethernet driver by using the .exe in the temp folder,which was not tinstallwb.exe,but setup.exe
 
Did you try to uninstall the device(s) in question from Device Manager, then re-installing and pointing the driver wizard to the folder(s) where the drivers are unpacked?
Also, don't forget to install the utilities as well (like for BT, wireless, sound, etc.).

I have installed completely everything,though BT stack is not in the programs for some reason.I did not try unnistalling them.Will try now.
EDIT:Searching windows update for drivers right now.Don't have the PCI simple comm controller driver,i can only try reinstalling the whole chipset...

The product key for Windows is coded into the motherboard for OEM PCs. If you reinstalled the same OS as what came with laptop, Windows is automatically activated - no need to enter product key.
