Señores Toshiba:
debido a que he tenido muchos problemas con windows vista, cambiamos nuestro equipo a windows xp profesional, peo me encuentro con la sorpresa que en su website, no hay ningun tipo de drivers tanto de lan como de audio para este sistema operativo, les agradeceria me enviaran los datos donde puedo encontrar estos drivers.
Gracias
