Did you upgrade or do a complete re-installation? If the latter, you
probably need to add specific drivers. IIRC, Toshiba machines ship with
a recovery CD which restores them to factory state, so you may need to
dig a bit to get the drivers. Have to tried adding hardware manually
through Control Panel?
