Toshiba Dynabook ss1700my Drivers and Details

First of all, it is hard for me to locate the origin of this model. I already check from Dynabook Japan Website and found it is not listed on the support site. So, I gathered all information I can get ( I got 5-6 users who shared the hardware information) and list out the drivers you will need for this model. Please install according to the order and reboot after each drivers installation if needed.

Here is my suggestion if you are using this model.

Recommended Operating system : Windows XP 32-bit
RAM : Default 1GB, you can upgrade it to 2GB
OS architecture :  Stay away from 64-bit Operating system unless you are a advance user. Use 32-bit operating system if you plan to use other OS such as Windows Vista, 7 or any other Linux distribution. 64-bit OS require at least 4GB of RAM.

Most of the drivers is provided by the Vendor and Lenovo, for certain download such as audio you need to agree with the term and agreement first.

Acer Aspire One AOD270 Drivers Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1

Acer Aspire One AOD270 Drivers Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1

Acer released Windows 7 32-bit support for this model and the reason for 32-bit is Intel GMA 3600/3650, the important issue about this graphic is it only released to work with windows 7 32-bit. Intel, Microsoft Update and Acer dodn't have support for other OS and it is officially state that this graphic design to work with windows 7 32-bit, not 64-bit. This netbook comes with 1GB of RAM. You need Minimum 4GB RAM to run Windows 64-bit or Other 64-bit OS. I already download and checked the drivers files (except audio and bluetooth - the file size is to big), so I re-make the driver list base on actual compatibility provided by each drivers. Some of them support all there OS (windows XP/Vista and 7). You may notice ACER named the driver x86 which refer to 32-bit system but if you check the drivers it also contain 64-bit support. Lastly to complete the list, I check the vendor website for additi onal support, example the original LAN drivers only support windows 7 32 and 64-bit. So, I just went to Realtek support site and look for download links for windows XP/Vista/8/8.1. They also list out support for other OS such Linux and Window Server/Media Center.

My recommendation : Choose windows 7 32-bit or Lightweight OS such as Linux Mint

How to Enable Metro UI in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

How to Enable Metro UI in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

Certain Notebook and PC such as 10.1 inch Netbook unable to support Metro UI by default.This is because 10.1 inch Netbook maximum resolution is 1024 x 600 where minimum requirement for Metro UI is 1024 x 768. So in this tutorial we will make changes to Registry Editor which will improve your Maximum resolution required to run Metro UI.

1. Open your registry Editor by : Press Windows key + R button and then type REGEDIT and press enter.



2. A registry Editor will open, now we want to look for Disply1_DownScalingSupported . To do that simply press CTRL + F button on your keyboard and type Disply1_DownScalingSupported and the press enter.


3. Double Click on it and change the value from 0 to 1. Now reboot your PC for changes to take place.


4. Now go to Display setting and you will see you will have new maximum resolution and commonly it is 1152 x 864. Change your maximum resolution to use Metro UI.

Intel GMA3600/GMA3650 Drivers and Information

Intel GMA3600 and GMA3650 is based on PowerVR SGX545, the difference is GMA3600 clocked at 400Mhz and GMA3650 at 600MHz compare to PowerVR which clocked at 200MHz. We can say that GMA3600 and GMA3650 is not really an Intel GPU but a rebadged PowerVR SGX545.

GMA3600 : Mostly found in the Intel Atom N2600 processor and Atom D2500 models.
GMA3650 : Mostly found in found in Atom N2800, Atom D2550, Atom D2500, Atom D2600 and D2700 Models.

DirectX and Games Capabili ty

Intel Originally claimed both GPUs support DirectX 10.1 but due to driver issues it only support DirectX 9.0c. This is not a big problem to discuss, because the GPUs itself cannot handle DirectX 10 games very well. Here is simple summary from Windows Experience Index:

Graphic: Desktop Performance for Windows Aero : 5.6
Gaming Graphic : 3D Business and Gaming Graphics : 3.2


Drivers For GMA 3600 and GMA 3650

I think it is important to list out all support available on one page, sadly I didn't found any solution for windows XP 64-bit. If you know or have information about it, do let me know in the comment section below.

Requirement:
  • The software should be installed on system with at least 1GB of system memory (RAM). 
  • Intel® Atomâ„¢ D2500, Intel® Atomâ„¢ D2550, Intel® Atomâ„¢ D2700
    Intel® Atom™ N2100, Intel® Atom™ N2600, and Int el® Atom™ N2800
  • Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 3600 Series (GMA3600 and GMA3650) 
Windows XP Drivers 32-bit

I found a driver posted by someone on the internet which worked with XP. I believe he/she already modded the drivers so that it is compatible with GMA3600. (more info below)

Intel Graphic Media Accelerator for windows XP 32-bit
Version 1.15.0.3278, 2.05MB
Download (4shared)

*You need to register (free) to download the files. I do not upload the file, just found it on the internet. If you dound other download link, share it with others.

You must Install it Manually : (example with picture here)
1. Extract the driver file, remember the extraction folder location. For t his tutorial let just extract it to desktop. (you will need winrar or 7zip software to extract it)
2. Open device manager by click start - run - and type devmgmt.msc
3. Right lick on the IGMA 3600 (with yellow mark) and select update driver.
4. Select " no, not this time"and select "advance, install from a list of specific location".
5. Select don;t search I will choose the driver to install.
6. Click Have disk (also uncheck "show compatible hardware if that option available").
7. Click Browse and Point to the driver we extract earlier on the desktop.
8. Select the iegd.inf or iegd, OK and proceed with on screen installation.
9. Reboot after installation finish.

If you know about moded thingy then it is not hard to understand. Base on the driver version, it is originally  for Atomâ„¢ N2000/D2000 Series Embedded Media and Graphics Driver (check MSI D river here - original file). When I look at the inf file changes was made in several part and worth to point out here is at the Localizable Strings section.

Since Intel does not plan to provide updates for this GPU anymore. We can only use Windows 7 drivers which show slight improvement over standard VGA graphic driver which automatically installed by Windows 8.
If resulting in error you need to troubleshoot compatibility (right click on the driver and select troubleshoot compatibility) and set to windows 7.
