Qosmio G40 - windows 7 - driver tv tuner problem

I have a _problem with TV tuner driver after installing Windows 7 64-bit Professional (new installation) on Qosmio G40_ (G40-111, part Nr: PQG40E-01E007N5)

All the drivers I downloaded from www.toshiba-europe.com and installed manually one by one.

The system recognizes a tv tuner (TOSHIBA PCI TV DVB-T/Analog hybrid Tuner (x 64)) and the proposed... driver is installed but the device does not work correctly:
-There is a small triangle of sign with "!" in Manager devices agaist this device;
-Properties in General: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) « ;
-Properties in Driver: driver version 2.1.1.0, driver date: 28/03/2007;
-Properties in resources: this device uses no resources because it has a problem.
-Windows Media Center doesn't have a tv tuner.

I used Vista 32 bit Ultimate so far and a tv tuner works very well.

In order to solve the problem, I tried everything, I could think for two nights:
-new new installation of Windows 7 (no result)
-installation of the driver on WIn7 tv tuner freshly installed BEFORE any other driver and chip set drivers... the '! ' appears immediately on the installation of Manager and subsequest of other drivers doesn't help;
-driver download for Vista and Win7 (no result), American and European sites
-Uninstall and reinstall, manual search for a device and an *.inf file affectante special to be installed (no result)

* I believe, that the driver is not fully functional with Win7 64 bit and TOSHIBA has GOT TO RELEASE A WORK ONE... instead of trying to offer a driver 03/28/2007! *

* SOMEONE AT TV-TUNER AND ONDER WORKING WIN7-64 OR VISTA 64? *

Please share your experience!

Thanks for any advice or help! Most appreciated!

I'm not 100% sure but I think that all of the stuff available on Toshiba download page is for Win7 update only.
I can see TV pilot is not available at all, and I think it's proof of my theory.
So what you need to do is to upgrade pre-installed Vista (Toshiba recovery image) to Win7 using the upgrade kit Toshiba.

I did it with my Qosmio x 300 and there is no problem at all.
What you can do is to contact the hotline of Toshiba or the nearest Toshiba service. They should have access to important information and they can help you with this.

  • Problems on Qosmio G40 - 12U on Driver genius use of

    Hello!!

    This is my first post here. So Hello everyone!

    I recently purchased a Qosmio G40-12 U. It's a great laptop!

    But I'm having a problem that I installed the Software Driver Genius to update the drivers and so forth and once updated packages Intel that I can't start the laptop without connecting it to the wall outlet. I can unplough the laptop and still work until the empty battery, but if I turn it off it I cannot turn back unless I plug to the power outlet.

    Could someone help me?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    As much as I know this software is not supported by Toshiba and I believe that no one can explain with certainty what the problem is here. The fact is that all compatible drivers are tested and they will not work correctly.

    So my opinion is that you should return to the Toshiba factory settings.

    Hello

    I put t know what is happen on your laptop and why the pilot does not, but on the Toshiba driver page, you will find two TV tuner drivers: one for Windows XP and the second to Win MCE.
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Do not forget that you are using the correct driver.
    In addition if you don t use the Toshiba Recovery CD if you need to install the drivers of Toshiba and utilities in the correct order. It is very important. On the driver page, you will find the installation instructions.

    Please follow this guideline.

  • Qosmio G40-10 s - driver software for device has not been installed successfully

    I get a message...
    Software device driver has not been installed successfully.
    Memory PCI controller... failed

    Is this a problem with my laptop or software that has been loaded. Now on Windows 7 32 bit Vista

    Hi spudcam,

    This means that for the memory controller PCI is no driver installed?

    Well, it is difficult to say which driver you need exactly and Windows 7's official is not compatible with the Qosmio G40.

    AFAIK memory PCI controller is Intel Turbo Memory module, so you would need Robson package driver of the official website of Toshiba.
    Now, I looked on the page of Toshiba and guess what, it s is available for G40 and Windows 7. :)

  • Qosmio G40 Windows XP - some drivers/utilities missing

    Dear all,

    I would be grateful if anyone can tell where I can get drivers/utilities for Windows XP for the following:
    -Flash cards (to make the combinations of work: switch between monitors, brightness, ets);
    -Shortcut keys on the keyboard {eleven buttons}.

    All the other drivers/utilities have been found/installed/proved to work correctly. XP seems to work a lot smoother and faster on this beautiful piece of hardware.

    Thank you for your help,
    Kind regards

    The utility of flash cards is only available for Vista.

    I looked on the page of the Toshiba driver and, unfortunately, but I didn t see the XP drivers for the Qosmio G40 at this time.
    I assume that you've found the XP drivers some currents such as graphics card or driver sound on 3 third-party pages. But to use the features of Toshiba as button of keyboard shortcuts, you will need a XP driver and tool designed especially for this laptop.

    Looks like the drivers are not available at this time and we will have to wait until XP drivers will be sorry, but I really put t see another possibility.

    Best regards dude

  • Qosmio G40 - 11 d - Driver GPU

    Hi all

    For some time I experienced problems with my GPU which are normal when using out-of-date drivers. The most annoying is freeze dry 2-3, after which everything turns back to normal and the system informs that "display driver difficulties blah blah blah". In fact, some people here suggested that this problem can be related to Vista-WorldOfWarcraft relationship, while in fact - it is not.

    Also, I would use CUDA. My GPU is CUDA compatible and I would use its potential for my daily routines (for example: using Badaboom to decode AVCHD movies in addition to the format).

    All this brings me to a point where I * update my GPU driver *. As we know, Toshiba is as nvidia updates disk do not exist, cuda does not exist and refer to the manual. So, here I ask you guys: the GPU update will turn my laptop into a portable heater?

    What I have in bind - based on the experience of P100-324 (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=103951) I am worried if the GPU fans are controlled by a non-standard features, Toshiba-custom-built Toshiba drivers. If so, after GPU, Quosmio driver installation will not be able to turn its GPU fans, that will be very sad :-(

    Then the bottom is - just as someone of you successfully updated the driver of your GPU to a non-Toshiba-blessed (and have your laptop still works)?

    Hello world.

    I decided to go a step further and upgraded to Vista 64. I was very happy to discover that the Toshiba Nvidia drivers and work well with my GPU, including the fans spinning ;-) In addition, a big PLUS for Toshiba to provide a pack 64-bit driver.

    There is another problem, however: an HDMI output.

    If I use the Toshiba drivers, for a full-hd (1920 x 1080) resolution I can only pick 23-30 Hz refresh rate (60 Hz available for everything under 1280 x 800 there). If I use the Nvidia, connection to a HDMI results BSOD device drivers :-(

    Any ideas how to 'inject' mode 1920 x 1080 / 60 Hz in the drivers of Toshiba? Do I need to manipulate the GPU drivers or display drivers? Or maybe both?

  • Qosmio G40 - Intel Turbo Memory issue on Windows 7

    The Intel Turbo Memory does not work in my Qosmio G40 Windows 7. I tried different ways to install the drivers but only the work of the Intel Matrix Storage Console.

    If I try to install the full Pakage Robson, the material remains marked as a problem in the Device Manager and the computer crashes every time he goes into mode 'sleep'.

    Is there a way around this, or should I disable this feature (which was working under Vista before)? thanx

    Hello

    This feature isn t so important because he doesn't make a strong performance gain, but in your case I would try to update the BIOS. Maybe it will work or let's say that the computer goes into mode 'sleep' correctly again. The latest version, you can download the Toshiba site.

    What Intel driver, you have exactly? Have you tried the Toshiba site?

    As described above, I have a Qosmio G40 with Windows Vista Ultimate and windows live messenger.

    Live messenger is set to allow phone calls and Messenger live in general - but there is no exceptions for webcam in the Security Panel?

    Looks quite simply that the cam is not lit - I have a black screen with static...

    Any ideas to fix this?

    * To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".

  • Qosmio G40 - infrared chipset not detected by Windows 7

    I upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista and found that my infrared chipset (SMSC SIO1049 SuperIO chip) does not appear in Device Manager.
    According to this page, it should appear as an unknown driver (ACPI\SMCB0C0)
    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd567986.aspx

    The IR remote control provided by Toshiba does not work (it used to work fine under Vista). All the world had the same problem B4? How to fix you (if you resolved at all)?

    Does this mean that Ineed to wait for the next update of the BIOS (my BIOS version is 2.20)?

    My computer is a Qosmio G40 PQG40 02201NCE.

    Hello

    If the device is not visible in the Device Manager, not even as an unknown device, then this means that the device does not exist or was not detected by the BIOS.

    Usually, the infrared receiver must be visible in the Device Manager under:
    Human interface devices - > infrared receiver SMSCIR

    In system devices, you should see the device consumer infrared.

    Don't forget that you have enabled devices hidden sow option perhaps of Device Manager, then you might see this

    Please also check the BIOS
    I'm not very well if the infrared device option would be listed in the BIOS, but you should check it m

  • Qosmio G40-127 - need windows XP drivers

    Hello.

    I just got my new Qosmio G40 and I want to install Windows XP Pro / Media center on this issue. I know it's possible, but I want to know wich drivers to use in order to operate correctly. I already had drivers laptopvideo2go nvidia, realtek, and chipsetdrivers. I need webcam, wireless lan, TV tuner, etc..

    Y at - there anyone out there who have a Qosmio G40-127 and made a WXP install and know where to find these drivers? I don't have not upgraded anything but RAM to 4 GB. Otherwise, it is like new.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You are right. The XP drivers are not available at this time on the Toshiba driver page. I didn't find it too. Looks like we have to wait...

    But listen;
    There are some XP drivers for another Qosmio series; G30 for example.
    You can try to install these unique pilots because many laptops are equipped with the same features and drivers may work too.

    The WLAN driver can be downloaded from the Toshiba WLan Portal:
    http://APS.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    like driver BT:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/

    The LAN driver can be downloaded from the Intel page because as far as I know LAN chip is an Intel 82566MC(Nineveh MC)
