• Question about (composite) TV on Qosmio G20

  Hello

  I can watch videos and play Xbox with composite with Qosmioplayer.
  But I have a problem to use Composite with programs like WinDVR and CyberLink PowerCinema, there is no image or its display to me and I do not know from the setting and I see (Toshiba PCI TV Tuner Type W) in Device Manager.
  So, how can I solve the problem :)?

  Boyfriend sorry but I really don't understand what you want. AFAIK composite-in cable allows you to transfer the signal from the external device in your Qosmio. I used it to connect my external VHS VCR to transfer the video signal and watch old movies on Qosmioplayer or MCE.

  Then maybe sounds stupid, but I don't understand what you want to do with the video signal and WinDVR or CyberLink PowerCinema. Can you please explain in detail what you want to do?

• Question about updating driver on Qosmio G20

  Hey

  I have been informed that I am need a driver updated for my video card but don't know which driver to download or to where search? Would be grateful if someone could help us with that!

  It seems that your information source is bad enough if you get only half of the news. How to help if your display bright does not offer any relevant info? For example, what laptop Qosmio you have and what operating system you are using.

• Question about DVI on the Qosmio

  Is it possible to get a dvi to my Qosmio? I know the possibility with a dvi-pc-card, but a station host, port replicator, or something like that with dvi would be much better.

  Is not very importend, but it would be good to know if it is possible or not.

  Hello

  For Qosmio laptops there is no any kind of docking station or something similar. All you can do is to use external devices like dvi-pc-card as described in your ad.

• Re: Question about dual OS and recovery

  I want to set up a dual boot option and not need to have all your hard drive reformatted when I use the recovery disc.
  My previous machine (a non-Toshiba) only reformatted the score required for the operating system is reinstalled. But this seems not possible on Satellite?

  Hello adlanou

  As a first step, it will be interesting to know what model of laptop you have. Your opinion may be true. On older models of laptop computers, it was possible to install the recovery image on favorite partition but the recovery procedure on new models of laptops is completely different and before starting the installation of the disk recovery HARD integer will be removed and existing partition deleted.

• Question about updating the BIOS for Qosmio G20

  I downloaded the updated the BIOS of my pc, not the Qosmio, the instructions say it will unpack into 3 files, one being a floppy disk installation. When I unzip on my desktop pc, it makes a file that s too big for a floppy and he won t unzip further because it locks up my pc.

  Is it safe to make it work on my desktop pc it can unzip then in the three files and this will affect my BIOS or y at - it somewhere that I can download the floppy part on its own to load on a floppy?

  Hello

  Just a question;
  You have downloaded the Qosmio G20 BIOS on the desktop computer, unpacked and now you want it please on the diskette in the floppy drive.
  Is this good?

  So now my suggestion;
  Firstly that the Qosmio G20 BIOS and other BIOS Toshiba cannot be updated using the floppy! This isn't traditional BIOS!
  The BIOS from the Toshiba page must be updated when the Windows operating system is running!

  By the way: you can unpack the BIOS on your desktop computer, but don t try to run all files, because the bad BIOS can damage the motherboard ROM module!

• Qosmio G20: DVD region Code?

  Hello

  I am about to purchase a Qosmio G20 wasn't what I just learned today that they won't be available mid-2005 in Belgium.

  However, in preparation since then, I have a few questions:

  Because the Qosmio is a DVD playback mode without having to start Windows, this means that the region will be probably set somewhere in the Bios for a given region.

  Travel laptop users and my partner is American, so we have DVD region 1 and 2.

  Are there any evolution of the WinDVD software when running on Qosmio the failing lock a region code after X play. I've never understood that laptops (mobile systems) have the same restrictions as the reception of readers of DVD/entertainment (whow by the way no one knows!)

  So, how can we play the two regions on the Qosmio G20 or anything that will be available for the Belgium.

  Thank you
  Danny

  Post edited by: Danny

  The bounding can be changed 5 times.

  After the last selected region Code is saved in the DVD player.

  But also, there are a lot of programs (Freeware) that help make your life easier and work around this Limitation.

  The only thing that you can do this through precaution is to google all over the place.

  1st - when watching dvd movies, I observe that when it comes to an image of the sky or clouds, I see dots on the screen. This happens also with you guys? could this be a problem in high definition? 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?
  Despite this problem watching movies top it s super...
  all what I can change to make it better?

  2nd - I ve tried to watch TV and I can´t. I m Portuguese and have cable TV. from what I ve read the only thing I have to do is conect the cable antenna to the computer with the adapter tv right? It is a message that the signal is weak. can someone help me here?
  and how do I adjust a channel? I Don t see where I can grant automatly or manually!
  (maybe a Portuguese user can help me if West one here)

  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?
  Please check this post how to use a Bluetooth device:

• Question about backup of the partition on the Qosmio G20

  Hi everyone, I was wondering is it possible to get the backup of your hard drive or the partition on qosmio g20? I tried the real picture, and ghost, but they could not get access to the qosmio scsi disks, when I ve checked toshibas recovery dvd I saw it is changed the version of norton ghost, so they must be necessary loading drivers on the start time of recovery disc, because I install a lot of software and change the config. I want to save my disk hard once everything is done.
  can anyone help?

  Hello

  Some time ago, I did some ghosting of Toshiba laptops, I have never had any problems. Perhaps there may be conflicts, if you are using RAID technology, or the Qosmio player on the first HARD disk area hurts.

  Sorry I can't give you more help.
  Good luck!

• Question about memory upgrade and warranty - Qosmio G20

  I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my Qosmio G20, but if I buy little ram in a store and fix myself (replacing the old RAM) void my warranty? (it is still covered by the extended warranty now)

  Don t worry! You can upgrade the memory and the guarantee will be cancelled not!
  You can do it yourself. It is very easy and I presume that the detailed statement is in of the Qosmio G20 user manual.

  Best regards

• 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: How to make a dual-boot?

  I have three partitions on my Qosmio G20.
  I run WinXP on one and use a larger data.
  The third partition is able to run Vista in (whenever that will happen).
  I did it on other PCs with a RAID-0 configuration, but which required a floppy with the RAID driver during installation.
  There is no floppy on the Qosmio, so how can I work around this obstacle?

  concerning

  Hello

  Usually the Windows operating system offers a clean startup application.
  You should get a boot order (manager) automatically if you have installed two different systems on the device.
  But nevertheless you can use also 3rd party applications

• Qosmio G20-139 - Ram upgrade question

  Hi my name is m.k.ash

  My equation on my Qosmio G20-139 PC Ram upgrade
  In prouction specifications said maximum extension 2048MB

  I can upgradeed 4 g or not? or only 2048 max.
  Thank you very much

  Hello

  If the manual indicates that only 2 GB are possible then you can move the RAM only to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB module)

  I thing the laptop supports the Intel 915 PM chipset and it supports 2 GB of RAM.

  See you soon
