Answer» I just recently bought a Toshiba Satellite C855D. Per the normal process when I buy a new pc, I started to UPDATE all the device's drivers. I however cannot seem to locate a driver for the Processor (AMD E-300 APU). I also updated the driver for the graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 6300) with the latest Catalyst Suite. During the install I received an error in a .xml report (See below). Everything in the report seemed to be fine except at the very bottom of the page it reads: "Driver Install: the specified driver package was not installed for matching devices". Yet when I go to Device manager under Display adapters it now reads "AMD Radeon HD 6310 Graphics" and the driver date is now 3/28/13. I'm mostly concerned with updating the Processors driver if possible but it would be nice to get some opinions on whether or not i will experience issues from the error during the Catalyst install (No problems at the moment).

Driver Install: the specified driver package was not installed for matching devices Laptop drivers should come only from the laptop manuf. site... The reason you are having issues is you are getting drivers based on the device...not the laptop itself. I'd DLoad and re-install all listed drivers for that PC from Toshiba's site.Thank you for your reply. I'm aware of that however most laptop manufacturers do not keep their drivers up to date with the new drivers for the corresponding hardware. Or are you saying I should IGNORE this?In my opinion...yes. If there is a feature or fix that is important enough the Manuf. would CERTAINLY release updated drivers to address the issue... If there are no updated drivers for your specific laptop at the manuf. site then you're fine. Don't fix it if it ain't broke.Thank you again. My goal was not to fix something that was broken, it was to get the optimal performance out of my hardware by installing the most recent drivers. Drivers are not something that are crucial for manufacturers to update anyway. Which is why I think they are "lazy" in that regard. You can run a PC with the very first drivers ever released for each piece of hardware installed, but if the updates that are released did not improve some aspect of the previous driver, why would they spend the time making them? I'm just going to leave it be for now I SUPPOSE. . But having a driver for my processor that is from 2009 seems odd to me.
