• 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.

  Hi Alex

  You will be very happy if someone can give you a correct and precise response to this topic. As you know Toshiba doesn't support and test some third part software.

• 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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• How to install driverupdate LAN for Qosmio G20?

  In response to an alert from Toshiba, I downloaded an updated their site driver LAN driver. I can not find, however, any info on how to install it despite the statement on the website info would be on this site or in the downloaded file.

  No icons probably looking in the file to produce anything. Any suggestions on how I might proceed? I have a Qosmio G20 (PQG21).

  You'll have to do it the manual way:

  (1) unpack the contents of the downloaded lan - xp - 80430.zip file to a temporary location as c:\landriver
  (2) open the control panel and double-click the system icon
  (3) in the brand-new "System Properties" box click on HARDWARE on the top bar
  (4) now, click on 'Device Manager' and a new box will appear with several tiny icons.
  5) click on the "Network adapters" icon and select your Lan card (.. .should say something like INTEL and 100)
  (6) right click on the entry of Intel (r) and select "UPDATE DRIVER"
  (7) now follow the instructions in the "Update Wizzard'...

  (x) No, not this time---> NEXT
  (x) install from a list or a specific location---> NEXT
  (x) do not search, I will choose the driver to install---> NEXT
  (x) have Disk---> NEXT

  (8) where it is said: "copy the Builder files from" you must NAVIGATE to the folder you created in step 1 (c:\landriver)
  (9) now choose 'E100b325.inf' If you are running Windows XP OR E100ant5.inf if you are running Windows 2000 [choose the option for Windows XP]
  10) confirm with [ok] in the event that a box will appear telling you that the drivers are not certified by Windows, blah blah blah
  (11) reboot if your computer ask

  I don't think its necessary to update your LAN driver unless you had problems with your network adapter.
  I have described the procedure of a manual update which is exactly the same for each device. I can't
  confirm if these drivers work on your computer, even if they should according to INTEL.
  If you face problems to use your LAN card after the upgrade of drivers, do not hesitate to roll back to your previous settings... but for the moment let's hope we don't need to explain how to do this. ;)

  Good luck

• Qosmio G20: XP Installation disk & SATA USB

After the selection of the 1 install Windows XP blue screen 3 options, before the first reboot. The installation starts copying the files required for the instillation process and asks AGAIN COPY THE SATA DRIVERS for more usage of the system.

  Hello

  Did you install the RAID driver?
  Well, I put t know if it because of this problem, but as much as I know the Toshiba RAID driver must be added during the installation, when prompt to 'press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver.

  To do this, please download the Toshiba RAID driver from the web page of Toshiba driver download and extract the zip to a disk file. Connect the floppy drive to your computer before starting the installation.

  The Setup program continues until you are asked if you want to "S = specify additional device. Press' and specify the driver Toshiba Raid for XP or 2000 as required.
  Press 'Enter' to continue the installation.

  When you use Windows Setup to partition or format the HARD drive, the RAID driver is deleted in the process.

  Please tell me if you have resolved the problem.

  Best regards

• Qosmio G20: How to install Win XP? -> No disc HARD is visible

  Hello

  I just purchased a Qosmio G20 and it come with Window Vista Ultimate Edition, but I don't want Vista. I tried to install Windows XP Home edition, but because it is a lower version, I need to reformat my hard drive.

  There is my problem: first I boot CD of Windows XP Home edition to install, after that I select to reformat the laptop but it says I have no hard drive and reboot. I don't know what to do, and I don't understand nothing with RAID technology.

  Help, please.

  Hello

  That's easy, you need the RAID driver which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.
  Then you use the external USB FDD drive and the floppy with this RAID driver for installation.
  During the installation of Windows XP Setup will ask you for most drivers.

  Then you press F6 to install the RAID driver. Notes; After installing the driver RAID don't format the HARD drive again!
