Even on the film "nilo" which comes connected to media player... when it comes to an image of an egypsian walk to the horizon on the stones... If you look at the blue sky, the definition is not so good... Why is this?

  Hello

  First of all, you are right. This very nice laptop s. I wish I would have a.
  Good on your problems:

  1.), you should try to change the display resolution. It would be very interesting to know if the black dots remains on the screen. In addition, I put t think that it s a pixel dead issue because you don t have problems if watch you movies.

  2.) have you used a Qosmio Player or a MCE? You should try to start the Qosmio player and try to launch a new search for TV channels. In the manual, you will find a detailed description of a connection and the use of the Q drive

  3.) have you activated the Bluetooth with FN + F8 key combination?

• New driver for Qosmio G20 with Vista installed

  Hello

  There are new drivers for Qosmio G20 with Vista installed.

  Right now, it's Nvidia Video 169,25 version of the driver for Windows Vista.
  No blue screen after installing this driver, at all.
  I think that this new driver will solve the following problem:

  * Power failure screen after you have closed the lid on Vista *.

  You can try it, remembering that the installation must be handwritten. And you must choose the graphics card Nvidia Geforce 6600, during installation.
  Download here:

• Qosmio G20-114: Vista upgrade issues - common Module driver is blocked

  I have the Qosmio G20-114 P - M 770/XP MCE /... Part number: PQG20E-00D003EN

  I've upgraded to Vista... and receive a message from driver error driver Toshiba common Module is blocked because it is incompatible with Windows Vista.

  I was running Windows XP MCE. Download a newer version of the driver that would work on this machine and with vista?
  I found a later version of this driver for other models...

  Hello

  No, you can download the latest version of common for Vista modules because the Toshiba has not released drivers Vista for the Qosmio G20

  This error message is displayed on your laptop, because the common modules only work with XP!
  If you want to upgrade XP to Vista you must first remove all incompatible applications.

• Qosmio G20: Need Vista Toshiba Common Modules & utilities

  I have a Qosmio G20 and that you have recently upgraded to Windows Vista - Home Premium
  I need to update my driver of common and utility Modules Toshiba - can someone help me?

  Hi Paul

  Unfortunately, you will have no success to find Toshiba Vista drivers or utilities for Qosmio G20!
  It seems that Toshiba would present only single common Vista drivers like wireless Lan, Bluetooth Stack driver, etc. These drivers are not designed for the G20 series, but you can use it on laptops with the same BT card or wireless network adapter.

  However, Toshiba Vista drivers were not released for Qosmio G20 or F20.

  Did you check that?

• Qosmio G20-118: System start slowly - restore?

  Hi guys,.

  1 day to another, start windows on my G20-118 has become slower. Windows starts as usual, but all programs related to communication take 2 minutes to start until I can connect to the internet. If I open IE in the meantime it is not yet available for dial-up dialog box until the rest is responsible. Clues?

  I thought about restoring the system but would like to avoid it if possible. If I restore it, however, it will clean completely the two hard disks or can I save files in one of them?

  Thanks for your help.
  Pedro

  Hello

  There are many reasons why the operating system becomes slow.
  Sometimes if many background process runs on the entire operating system then BONES need a bit more to run applications.
  Also a virus or antivirus programs that are running on the operating system could cause such slow performance.
  But as you said earlier that the new installation of the OS could solve these problems.
  If you have 2 partitions on the HARD disk, so all that you back up important files on the second partition, and only the first partition is removed during the installation of the new operating system.
  On the recovery CD, you will find 2 options for recovery.
  Standard and expert mode.

  In expert mode, you can choose the partition where the OS is to be installed.
  Use the 'advanced search' to search for topics on the expert mode recovery procedure

• Qosmio G20-118: Multi drive is not burning DVDs

  Hi guys,.

  This day I have never been able to burn a DVD with music files from itunes (in the form of data) using my G20-118, although I have no problem what to do in my old office. I have tried several different DVDs without success. Everything seems to go smoothly until the last dry when there is an error. I had the same problem that burn DVDs with Sonic. Finally, my drive rarely reads CD of music stored on other computers. It also came with data CD, although rarely.

  Do I have a defective disk? This CD/DVD that you tried and must work on my system?

  Thank you very much!
  Pedro

  Hello

  I don't think it's a compatibility issue with the disks because the player accepts and then displays an error.

  For me, this looks like a bad drive, but perhaps you must first reinstall the driver or the whole system.

• Qosmio G20 on Vista is not displayed wireless network

  Hello

  I just finished installing Vista EU according to http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=20494
  And I downloaded the driver for wireless network card, but still I can't find my wireless network. For a short period of time neighboring network appeared, but then he disappeared (probably because of the weak signal). But my network is shown even when the router is half a meter by far. How can I detect the wireless network. Help, please. :(

  Is it is important the Siemens Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl router, but I doubt that it is the router problem coz my other laptop a few meters away is a very good signal.

  your wireless driver is installed correctly? have you made changes to the wireless configuration? What type of encryption your wireless card supports?

• How can I recover my Qosmio G20-118 without loss of data?

  Hello

  I need to recover my system but have a lot of data in my HDD D: I want to keep.
  In this forum, Gipsyman said that I should be able to use the dvd recovery disk by selecting the advanced recovery mode, but there are a lot of options and I have no idea. My HARD drive are independent and not not not using RAID mirroring.

  Can you tell me how to recover system formatting only HARD C: drive and leaving the data in the HARD D: drive?

  Thank you!

  Pedro

  Hello

  I agree with Gipsyman.
  You can use the standard mode and expert mode to recover the operating system.
  If you use the expert mode, you should be able to choose the partition or HARD disk where the operating system must be installed.

  Then simply choose the place of installation and start the recovery procedure.

• Qosmio G20-118 and Active Sync via bluetooth

  I can´t do activesync to work when connecting my Pocket PC (with Windows Mobile 2003 second edition) via bluetooth. Can someone help or post a link to a help page?
  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  As far as I know that the Pocket PC must be in the cradle.
  1 "tap" on start and choose the ActiveSync program
  2 then 'tap' on 'Tools' and select 'Options' from the ActiveSync program
  3. check under "enable synchronization when cradled using ' to see if the setting is on Bluetooth

  Important: Please remove the Pocket PC from the cradle, and then put it back in the cradle.
  It allows to activate the new setting

• Differences of the G20-118 HDD and Qosmio Player

  Hi all.
  I purchased a Qosmio G20-118 and theres a small diference between the hard drive.
  It has two built in 80GB HD, but in the bios, I see the first HD 79 GB and the second as 80 GB.
  Where is the 1 GB missing from the first HD? Qosmio player?
  If this is the case, then the RAID function only works with two 79GB HDD so I lose 2 GB HARD drive plus the loss of space for the RAID function aditional. If a drop about 5 GB of HARD drive.
  How do I get arround this?
  What I need to get rid of Qosmio Player to have two HD 80 GB? If so, how can I get rid of him?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  You are right. The Qosmioplayer is preinstalled on the hidden partition. Because of this, the HARD disk capacity is less than 80 GB.

  In my opinion the Qosmioplayer is very nice and useful tool and it is not necessary to be deleted. If you want to use any ability of the second HARD disk do not use RAID option.

  Do the backup data on an external device. On this way, you will lose 1 GB available on both hard drives of 160 GB.

  Otherwise you must preinstall the unit with recovery media. After that the Qosmioplayer is deleted.

• Qosmio G20 - blue Volume Indication bar does not work under Vista

  Hey guys,.

  would really appreciate your help on this. 2 days ago I decided to upgrade my laptop Qosmio G20 for vista (I know I don't need to hear all the problems of Vista, but I had to do). in any case, after a lot of problems (missing drivers, windows known glitches etc), I managed to get it up and running again. At least it's functions.

  All Toshiba equipment are missing because they are not compatible with vista. I found the drivers of replacement etc. and solved most of the problems. I have not yet solved the blue volume indication bar inoperative led, located just on the right side of the touch pad. It s simply stating an indication of fake volume and its not changing at all with any volume control. The green on the screen volume bar is also missing.

  Any of you have any idea how to solve the problems?

  Thank you very much

  Anthony

  Hello Anthony

  I assume that you have already noticed the Qosmio G20 isn t that supported by Vista. So I can believe you had problems to find all the missing stuff, but if the Vista works well now you should not focus on the little things.
  Exact managed and controlled by Toshiba designed tools and utility functions.
  If they are not available, I have gift opportunity see t to solve this problem.
