Drivers VGA on Qosmio G20

Hi all

I checked the version of the Nvidia driver on my Qosmio G20 and it is the 71,18. It is the most recent available on the Web from Toshiba website. But not the last on the Nvidia site, in which the most recent driver is the 72.14 (according to Nvidia on their Web site, the 71,18 was released January 2005).

Do you think I can update the driver from the Nvidia website? My graphics card is a Geforce 6600 GO. Or I can be updated only with those who are certified by Toshiba (the one on the Web from Toshiba site)

Hello

As far as I know, you can try to install the driver provided by the manufacturer of the graphics card, but it can happen that the installation is not possible at all. Sometimes, there is a message that sought the material cannot be founded.

It is recommended to use the driver that is designed by the manufacturer of the laptop. This is valid for all laptop manufacturers.

  • Need the drivers NVidia for Qosmio G20 because of problem of Second Life

    Nobody knows when the latest drivers will be ready or if they are already to the G20.

    I am up and works well with those who is downloaded from Windows Update, yet I can't get Second life, work on my G20 and there seems to be a video driver issue.

    I can't use the NVidia Web site as she advises to go on the Toshiba site, but the only Vista drivers available are for the G30. These will work?

    If anyone has Second life working on their G20, please let me know how. It becomes frustrating now.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Concerning

    Paul Pounder

    I think they have to work, because they probably have the same vga card. So download and install, if they are not working, then tell him, because then we will have to find another solution.

    Hello

    At present, there is no information on this subject and all laptops are supported just for the Windows XP operating system. The problem is that the G20 use RAID technology and in this case, it is more difficult to run Linux OS.

  • Drivers of WIDCOMM 5.0.1.1200 Qosmio G20-127

    Is it possible to install software drivers Widcomm Bluetooth on Qosmio G20-127? I want to use them instead of Toshiba and Microsoft Bluetooth stacks. I modified the btwusb.inf file in Widcomm 5.0.1.1200 with my own PID and VID (taken from the Toshiba inf file) but I'm unable to install the drivers again.

  • Qosmio G20 - sound and drivers tv tuner (digital)

    Hi all

    I recently purchased a Qosmio G20 (490ls) to the Japan and nothing else that problems have had so far.
    The original operating system that came with the computer is Windows XP Home Edition (Japanese). I can't read Japanese, but I have an English version of Windows XP MCE, so I don't think it would be a problem.

    I could not install it correctly so I delivered to a technician and he accidentally deleted all (OS, drivers, etc) and I don't have a recovery of the original disc.

    in any case, I gave him a new technology to install and they're almost finished except they lack 2 drivers - audio driver and tv tuner driver. European drivers are analog and do not work on the Japanese version, however, it needs digital drivers.

    I desperately need a "digital sound driver" and a "digital tv tuner driver", if someone could help me out or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated =)

    Thank you

    Hello Michael

    I'm very happy you're here. Maybe you can give us some very useful information. I heard that just TV tuner to the Japan from be used worldwide without restriction standard.
    Do you know something?

    Maybe this is the reason why you can't set it up properly. I am sure that the driver for your device is designed only for the Japanese market and it is possible that our pilot European doesn t work properly. Check the driver of OUR download site

    To do this, you must perform a clean installation of Windows Vista. The drivers for network (Intel PRO100), audio (Soundmax), TV (Toshiba PCI Tuner), modem (modem of toshiba), Alps pointing device are installed directly from microsoft. You must install the Toshiba, Toshiba Bluetooth nvidia display driver (monitor and stack), driver Toshiba flash media, toshiba RAID texas (drivers and utilities), toshiba remote control manager and ConfigFree for Windows Vista.
    You must have the Toshiba RAID drivers to install from the windows Vista DVD. Otherway, Windows does not recognize Toshiba RAID 0 and RAID 1.

    Below some pictures of my desktop of the G20 screen:

  • Qosmio G20-141 - cannot install modem drivers and sound card

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio G20 - 141 laptop series. My recovory all CDs have been damaged and some problems for laptop too.
    So I formatted the laptop and I have configured with the new Windows XP sp2.
    After the installation of the operating system, I can not install the sound card and Modem drivers.
    Even if I downloaded these drivers from the Toshiba site and installed, still it does not correctly.

    Please help me and your advice and your suggentions greately appreciated and thanks in advance

    Hi first of all, I recommend an update of Windows XP to the last State.
    All available patches and patches must be installed.

    In addition, the Qosmio G20-141 belongs to the series of PQG21E and you must choose the serial number from the Toshiba driver download form.

    The European driver Toshiba page provides different drivers for XP MCE and many QFE for Win XP Pro.

    In addition, you will find an installation instructions txt file that gives the proper installation order. This command is necessary and you should follow this statement!

    Then, everything should work ok.

  • How to install Win XP on Qosmio G20 using USB flash memory key

    Dear Admin,

    This is regarding my laptop Qosmio G20.

    Last month my OS (windows XP media edition) has been corrupted so I attempt to reformat and reinstall the operating system.

    But unfortunately my CD/DVD-Rom does not work/play,.

    Then I try to install it via a PEN drive bootable with integrated... XP but when I go into the BIOS I n I find USB Boot option... :-(

    Then I remove my main hard drive and put it in another laptop and install the XP, its work in this laptop, but unfortunately when I put the new HARD drive the Qosmio his departure gives the XP logo but in 5-10 sec its judgment and give a blue screen message then then restart automatically...

    plezz help me install XP or Vista or 7 those who works there...

    plezzz plezzz sound my laptop preferred

    Thanks in advance

    JAI

    > Then I try to install via a PEN drive bootable with integrated... XP but when I go into the BIOS I n I find USB Boot option... :-(

    Connect the USB flash memory key to the laptop, now switch on and press F12.
    The start menu should appear where you could see all the possible boot devices.

    Do you see the USB boot option in the start menu?
    If this isn't the case, then you will not be able to boot from USB flash memory.

    > Then I remove my main hard drive and put it in another laptop and install the XP, its work in this laptop, but unfortunately when I put the new HARD drive the Qosmio his departure gives the XP logo but in 5-10 sec its judgment and give a blue screen message then then restart automatically...

    I guess that this is because the RAID drivers was not included!
    Qosmio G20 supports the RAID controller and you add the RAID driver (located on the Toshiba UE driver page) in order to recognize the HARD drive.
    But I put t know if you could do so using another computer I guess that's not possible.

    Maybe you can try to disable RAID in BIOS

  • Qosmio G20: How to get rid of the large green volume screen?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio G20 I bought at the Japan last year and have since changed drivers and English operating system. However one thing ive noticed, distinguished by the Japanese put in place, it is that whenever I adjust the Volume level by using the wheel on the right side of the laptop, a large green level Volume display appears on the screen. I want to get rid of this cos it takes place close to half of the screen. The Japanese version had this problem.

    I checked all the settings in the Panel and the various sections of both properties but couldn't find anything.

    Suggestions how to remove it? Qosmio users have this on their screen?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Berga is right. This volume indication disappears shortly after.

  • Qosmio G20: Question of Media Center Receiver - recovery question

    As the abvoe really, I usually leave my computer running from one day to the next day and yesterday I went on it to find that I had 80 MB hard drive (60 GB HDD) to the left. Error messages had popped up and a record of these was recorded in the folder pchealth, under userdumps, or something like that. Anyway I deleted 58gigs with a value of these userdumps, but the same error message kept popping up.

    It was a mistake with the Media Centre receiver, but I don't quite know what it is, but it was founded in the ehome folder which I think is located in the main folder of Windows.

    I have been into msconfig and stopped the ehhome.exe to start but that seems to ruin the tv/video within the media library settings.

    I recently installed the codec and divx player to play divx movies.

    I was wondering is that it would be more prudent to use the CD recovery and re - install windows and the software and create a restore point, and then install the codecs to see if the same problem arises, or if someone has had this problem and it heals.

    Finally, I actually ran the recovery cd to the above, but when the cd starts the first line on back said something like, 'running Setup for windows 98'. XP is certainly on the 98 and no recovery cd?

    Can someone please confirm this for me and all the answers to the above problems.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I can t believe that Windows 98 is placed on the recovery CD.
    AFAIK the Qosmio G20 was delivered with the MCE window.
    There is no recovery of Win98 CDs for Qosmio units.

    In my opinion, this message occurs due to RAID or other drivers that load at the beginning.

  • Qosmio G20 156: clean install?

    Hello

    I am new to the arena for laptop and am the proud owner of the Qosmio G20 156 fantastic.

    I was wondering what people recommend doing the first thing when you receive... in what respect the sofware & operating system; Is it a good idea to perform a clean installation of Windows and the format of the HARD drive? I'm asking this is because some laptops come with a lot of junkware? If so, it's a very simple process using the recovery discs or I just would open the Pandora's box of possible complications?

    I'm quite proficient with installing the drivers etc.

    Any advice much appreciated!

    Hello

    Well, it s beautiful that you're proficient with installing the driver, but is not everything you need to know.
    This device uses a RAID technology and you will need to also install the RAID drivers, etc.
    I don t recommend to format anything or install the new OS. Toshiba programs and applications are installed on the new Qosmio because it s a laptop top of range with many features. The latest features need these applications.

    But of course it s your device and you decided what and how is running on your laptop.
    I have this case you can use the image of Toshiba and you can remove some programs from the laptop computer in Add and remove programs

    It is a simpler way.
