AMD/ATi Radeon Mobility HD 4250

A friend of mine has this - http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/L670/L675D-S7052 - Toshiba Satellite Laptop (Toshiba Satellite L675-D) and hes not very tech savvy, and so he asked me to show him how to update his Graphics Driver, cause apparently when he went to play a newer game, it recommended he update to the latest GPU Drivers, since his were not current. So i went to find them on ATi/AMD's website, and I cant seem to find it. As you will see in the title of this thread, thats the GPU it has, but they do not list that GPU on their site anymore apparently. And I tried searching for the drivers thru google, but all I could find were the same ones he already has. So I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about this particular GPU, and if they capped out at the 8.713.3.0 A drivers, or if there is newer ones, and if there is, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. This is weird for me, I've been building Custom/Modding Custom PC's of all sorts, for about 10yrs, and I've never not been able to find driver update. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance !

Well after thinking i found the right drivers, and going thru the whole driver uninstalling/cleaning/re-installing process, and then having it say these drivers are not compatible (even tho, according to the AMD website, i downloaded the ones for the Radeon Mobility 4xxx series) and realizing that Toshiba no longer offers support for this laptop even tho it just came out last year, i finally found a copy online of the original AMD Display Drivers that came on the laptop, and then it worked. So apparently, its impossible to update the drivers for this laptop, your stuck at the stock 8.x.x.x drivers friggin ridiculous. and on the main ATi driver site, they dont even have the 4250, or a selection for all 4xxx series, like i said in my original post. ATi needs to give more support for the Mobile Graphics Cards. cause this whole experience was frustrating, even for a PC veteran !

I don't know if this will work, but give it a shot.

Install Steam (yeah, the one by Valve). Perhaps Steam can find an AMD videocard driver.
