• Qosmio F20 and Vista Ultimate

  I would like to know if anyone knows when Toshiba will create all the necessary drivers for this model running windows Vista ultimate.
  Can someone give an answer? Thank you.

  Hello

  I can't answer you that, but I'm afraid that it won't happen. As you know Vista is already longer than one year on the market and if Toshiba didn't offer drivers up to now I n t believe this will happen in the future.

  In any case, I'm sure you can find the drivers somewhere on the net. I mean the graphics or sound driver. You can also try to use the value added packages or other tools of some other models Qosmio Toshiba.

  I don't have a Qosmio F20 and cannot test it but if you have a game for a little time with her.
  I'm sure you can make it work well.

• No his TV on Qosmio G30 with WinXP Pro

  I have a Qosmio G30 and was forced to install XP PRO due to the network at work. My IT support managed to get all the drivers installed, and everything seems to work properly. The only question that i'got is that I have no sound while watching TV. Either in the Qosmio player or WinDVR.

  In Device Manager, the sounddrivers appears as "rather old" and "old videodrivers", is the same version of XP MCE?

  Some of you who installed XP PRO can help me please?

  Hello

  Have you checked the page of the Toshiba driver?
  I checked this page and found that 3 different Qosmio G30 drivers exist on the page.
  First, you must choose the correct unit.
  Second, if you are installing the drivers manually you should check the site installation instructions document and you should follow this guide line.

  Moreover I didn t find the drivers, particularly for WinXP Pro, but only for WinXP MCE, but I presume that these drivers also work with XP.

  In any case, for most of his TV problems occur because of wrong settings PAL/SECAM.
  Please also check these options.

• Access QosmioPlayer and HDD on Qosmio F20

  Hello!

  I just bought a laptop Toshiba Qosmio F20 and I'm very satisfied with it, except that I can't browse and play the media files on my hard drive.

  There are versions of Qosmio Player - original or modified - that come with this feature, which allowed me to play backups of my music CDs and DVD movies stored on my hard drive (mp3, divx formats, etc.), without having to start the computer in XP?

  I hope a quick and honest response.

  Kind regards

  Vegard

  Unfortunately, I think you're out of luck - the Qosmio player doesn't have any codecs for MP3, MPEG4, DivX, etc., and to access NTFS volumes from outside of Windows is generally frowned upon in any case...

• TV in black and white - Qosmio F20

  Hello

  I just purchased a Qosmio F20 and yesterday I bought a S-video/SCART cable to connect the computer to my TV. To my surprise, the TV image is displayed in black and white. Could it be the cable? I'm doing something wrong?

  Thanks for your help!

  J

  Hello

  If you use S-video connection, in this case you must activate S-video port on your TV.
  Try also using delivered cable SCART to connect.

• New installation of Windows XP Home edition on Qosmio F20 - sound card errors

  Hello

  I am one of those who is very reckless on internet and download a lot of spam and viruses along the way. I keep, but I'm also obsessive compulsive on the backup of my important files, so when my computer flip out on me, I just wipe it clean and continue!

  I stick to windows XP because some software I use still does not work on Vista, and I also install a completely new copy of XP instead of recovery as bundles of Toshiba with my laptop. Why? Because I lost it...

  Anyway, I've been tracking the drivers to get the last bits of the material work and all seem to work well! The only problem I have is with the (Yes, you guessed it!) sound card driver!

  I have a Qosmio F20 and have no idea of what sound card is actually inside this thing, I have always used SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio drivers and they do most of the work very well, but they seem to have problems when I try to use Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and Soundbooth. Both programs complain that there is no sound card and then refuse to open,

  As far as I know, the driver that I use is by 'Analog Devices' and v5.12.1.5240. I don't know if it's really any help at all!

  Does anyone know which driver is correct to use and where to find it, or is the fault, I have just an inevitable?

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Hello Pav

  Have you installed Windows XP Home with Service Pack 2 included?

  On the Toshiba download page, there is a driver available and I do not understand why you think that this is not the right one. The same driver will be installed if you use recovery CD/DVDs.

  Hello

  Please check the BIOS!

  You can enter the BIOS by pressing ESC and F1.
  The CD/DVD drive must be in the BIOS.

  If it s not the case, then that would mean that the CD/DVD drive cannot be recognized by BIOS and possibly it s faulty.

• Qosmio F20 - no sound after installing Win XP

  Hello everyone,

  I need some help here...
  I use Toshiba Qosmio F20 and have re-installed with Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2.
  All the drivers were all updated and all seems fine. But now there is no sound at all, even when I turn on or increase the volume.

  It has nothing to do with enabling / disabling, cause there is no effect.
  A few hours earlier, everything was fine. Is it because the qosmio must be installed with XP Media Center Edition?
  What should I do then, cause I don't have the recovery disc more?
  Where can I find solutions.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Workaround solution:

• Qosmio F20: Featured work Touchpad scroll doesn't work anymore

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio F20 and only had it for less than a year, I've always used the touchpad and the quick launch feature, never changed anything in the settings of the touchpad, or major changes in the operating system, I have a problem now!

  the scroll function working keys doesn't work anymore, you know how the right side is scrolling up and down and low to the left/right scrolling, now it doesn't work... my brother was using my computer and he has installed a bluetooth, infrared driver program, he used a mouse USB and install Nokia PC suite.
  NOW what should I do? HEEELP!

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Brother have installed you a large number of applications and also a USB mouse.
  Who knows what it changed on your laptop.

  If the pad touch scroll function does not work so I guess that the settings have been changed.
  In your case, I recommend to check the touchpad settings.
  You should find your mouse over settings in the control panel.

  As far as I know, you can find these settings in the Toshiba touch and launch.

• Qosmio F20 RAM

  Hi all!

  What type of ram to the Qosmio F20 and the pin count module´s? I know that Toshiba use Kingston ram, but can I use another brand for a second module, as viking?

  Thank you!!

  Hi Dijacy,

  I believe that the type of RAM you need is 200 pin DDR2-533 SODIMM.

  In theory, you can use any brand of RAM module, but obviously some of the lesser known brands have not been tested to work with your laptop. You can be lucky and find that they work perfectly, but you can find lost messages from people who have had problems.

  If in doubt, then I would stick to the components tested such as Kingston.

  Good luck

• Main problems after upgrading from XP to Vista on Qosmio F20

  I have recently upgraded from XP to Vista on my Qosmio F20 and having problems. It seems that I lost the ability to change screen resolutions, to adjust the volume, brightness, etc. Basically, I lost the laptop functions. I also tried updating the BIOS but get the following error message "BiOS update only is not supported OS - unsupported OS or service pack installed.»

  This also makes very slow computer.

  You now have a few questions, or you wrote just a report on your experience of Vista on Qosmio F20?

  The fact is that Toshiba does not support Vista on this laptop model and thereby you will ever complete Vista of operation (including the Toshiba tools and utilities). For supported laptops, Toshiba offered special Vista supporting BIOS but for your laptop, this update of the BIOS does not exist.

  Sorry! :(

• Qosmio F20 can be the battery

  Can someone help me?

  I have a Qosmio F20 and recently I picked up a strange problem. The battery light turns off and the energy saver told me that there is no battery...

  If I remove the battery and put back on, he finds it and cool for about 10 minutes, then the light goes out back and the battery once more disappeared...

  Is this a hardware or a software problem? He became very irritating!

  Shows like a battery problem and I think that contact you the ASP in your country for replacement of the battery. Maybe it will work with the new.

  Good bye

• Need drivers for the wireless on Qosmio F20

  Hi how are you?
  I have a Qosmio F20 and I need to go wireless, but I am not able.
  I checked the device manager and I only find 1394 Net adapt.
  Download any driver from site Qosmio F20?

  Thank you very much

  At the bottom of the unit, you should find a label of the WLan card.
  If the WLan card rating fails, I guess that your phone does not support a minPCI wireless network card.

  As macdreamy1984 has also suggested the card WLan must be listed in the device under network adapters Manager if it has been installed on the laptop

• Qosmio F20-149: here showing the wrong firmware!

  There, they show a firmware for my DVD 840 years! Why? Where to find a firmware for my drive?

  THX

  Hello

  There are different models Qosmio F20 and so I guess that the units were delivered with different drives. Maybe the update of the firmware doesn t exist for UJ-840 years.

  But a question; Why do you want to update the firmware?
