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.
