Driver problems?

I'll try and keep this as short as possible.

Working on a Win8.1 Toshiba C55D-A5163 for a friend. The wifi did not work on 8.1 and they wanted Win7. So after installed Win7 Toshiba's driver page was of no help. All the drivers I downloaded did not work (not 1). I researched it and found a forum thread with a semi solution (http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Driver...-C55D-A5163/m-p/592784/highlight/false#M20677) however 3 drivers are still not working "Ethernet controller", "Universal Serial Bus (USB Controller)", and "USB2.0-CRW". The closest I got for the Ethernet controller was a Realtek driver provided in the forum thread above but for an error saying "if deep sleep mode is enabled please plug the cable" which I research and found http://adeelejaz.com/blog/realteks-network-controller-deep-sleep-mode-issue/ as a result. I did all steps listed and no luck. Even Windows Update couldn't find drivers. I realize this is a Toshiba problem and I've already posted in their forums but no one has gotten back to me so I'm trying to seek out help where I've gotten help before.

Any insight or help with this would be appreciated. It's not mine, otherwise I would just load in a Linux Distro and call it a day.

I don't know what to say. If Toshiba doesn't even have the drivers you may be stuck with using one of these programs.

That's exactly how I felt. The only thing close to this that I've experienced was on a Dell laptop I worked on where the provided drivers were wrong. And I had to track them down from the manufacturer's website instead of dell support. It ended up being ok with my friend to no have the missing drivers in. The ones I managed to find were all they wanted.

And that link for toshiba's website is the original one I went to where I couldn't find ANY Win7 drivers. I ended up finding some working drivers from the Euro toshiba driver website. But only some worked, not all. Thank you for the response though!
