• Qosmio G20 slow start and restart

  My G20 becomes slower and slower when it starts. I still like the laptop and it s design still makes me believe s the laptop more beautiful that I've ever seen (in my opinion still improve the design then the new Qosmio s).

  So I m using 80 GB hdd2 in each total of 160 GB disk...
  I m using now 72 GB in a HARD drive and 10 GB on the other. So much free space in a single disc, but the laptop is too slow start about 3 min.

  I t n planning restore and clean the system of all the
  Any advice? Gather the HDD0 and space of two disks will be more fast laptop?

  It s 2 GHz speed and 2 GB memory.
  Thank you

  Hey Buddy

  You slow startup and startup has nothing to do with the HARD drive space.
  Your laptop could start slowly, due to a large amount of processes that run in the context of the operating system!

  What you could do, is first the msconfig and disable unnecessary applications in the Startup tab.

  Use some applications cleaning CCLeaner (tool free) i.e. to clean the operating system and the registry. Last but least could not defragment the HARD disk to improve performance.

  See you soon

• Qosmio G20: MCE RPG and can't find any digital TV channels

  Thank you

  Hello

  Are you sure that your G20 was delivered with a DVB - T tuner and analogue TV tuner not only 100%?
  As far as I know the g-20 was delivered with a different hardware configuration

  But if you camera supports DVB - T tuner, so I think that digital signal is not strong enough to receive the digital channels.

  If you wish, you can consult this useful document on HDTV on MCE:

• Qosmio G20-107: black and white TV in Ireland?

  Hello

  Could you explain to me why my TV picture is black and white (with Guide) or color on UK settings (without Guide)?
  My Qosmio G20-107 is the United Kingdom, and I live in Ireland.

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure, but I think that it s a question of PAL/SECAM/NTSC settings.
  Each country or region uses different PAL/SECAM/NTSC setting.

  As far as I know, the PAL is available in Europe and NTSC is available in the United States.
  But European countries also support different parameters of PAL.

  You should check if you are using the right PAL settings that exist in Ireland.

  PS: You should also check out this article on FreeTV to the United Kingdom

• Qosmio G20: Media FN and control buttons do not work with XP

  Please I need help as its brightness full stuck on and my eyes hurt... lol... no jokes, it's really bad.

  I rang the guys TI and they give me just a website, but they don't tell me which driver.

  I downloaded the Qosimo drive driver, but I don't know how to use it.

  Please help me some1... as soon as possible...

  Hello Franz,.

  As a first step, install the Toshiba commom modules, from here:
  http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/commonmodulesxp.rar

  then install toshiba controls, from here:
  http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/controlsxp.rar

  After that, you will probably work of toshiba buttons.

  For the Qosmio player, you must burn it the image that you download from the website of toshiba on a CD.
  After that, put this CD in your Qosmio, press F12, select Boot CD key and install it.
  But remember, THIS IS IMPORTANT: If you install the Qosmio Player, this will reformat your hard drive and lose all partitions of HD and data, as well.
  Normally you install Qosmio player before installing Windows XP, media Center, Vista. etc...

  Take care

• Qosmio X 300 - 13O and Win7 - sound is not so powerful as Vista

  Hi all

  My camera; Qosmio X 300 - 13O, with 4 speakers & a basis.
  in Vista, it was so powerful (Loud) & great, but now after I installed W.7
  used 'Toshiba Drivers Installer for Windows 7' I noticed that the sound
  is much more low, even when I use the headset is much lower than before!

  It comes from the audio driver or what?
  One more thing, I noticed the Setup does not have DOLBY program
  where do I get it? & is that part of the main problem / problem it self?

  You can find it on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com European support page
  There you can find the 1.1.0406 for Vista version.

  By the way: you use Win7 32 or 64 bits?

• Question on Qosmio G20 tuner: NTSC and PAL use possible?

  I think to buy one of these machines, but I want to learn more about the internal tv tuner.

  -It is possible to change NTSC to PAL etc.? If so, how do you that?

  -What are the frequencies that it can pick up - is that it is set in that you are buying this machine, or it is set so that she can receive channels of television in other countries?

  Look forward to your responses.

  David

  Hello David

  On the laptop preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition Toshiba TV feature does not work outside the country where the unit is purchased.

  As far as I know that the TV Tuner is specific to the country in which the notebook is purchased. This is evident in the case of the PAL (European standard) versus NTSC (North American standard), but also includes deviations to the PAL standard that can be found in all of these countries that use it for their television shows.

  The Microsoft Windows Media center Edition OS is only configured for use in the country in which the laptop was purchased. Similarly, foreign users who bring computers, portable foreigners in the other country will be unable to use the TV Tuner for the same reasons. Even exchange the TV Tuner for one that matches the country in which is used the laptop will not work.

  Good bye

• Qosmio G20: How to format the HARD drive?

  Hello!

  I bought Qosmio G20 last week and now I want to install Windows XP MCE (not recovery, but a CD in Windows XP CD) on this subject but I have a problem formatting of hard drives. There are two hard disks, and when I try to put in the form of Win 98 it is said as "formatting is not supported on C:" or "formatting is not supported on D:". I want to do before installing new windows because I want to create multiple partitions, but to do that I need to format the disc first.

  Can someone tell me what I need to do to format discs in this way?

  Hello

  You cannot format the HARD C drive because the operating system is running on this HARD drive.
  What you can do is to use the 3rd party software that creates the partitions on the HARD disk on the system running. I use partition Magic 8 to create and manage partitions.

• 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.

• Qosmio G20: watch movies - no sound from TV

  Hello
  I want to watch movies playing in my qosmio G20 but display on my TV
  I am connected using the S-video cable and the sound is displayed but no sounds, the sound is still coming from the laptop.
  Is it possible that I can make the sound come from the TV or my surround sound system?

  See you soon

  Hello

  You can use the S-video cable with additional cinch audio cable. Then the noise should come also from the TV.

  If you want to connect to the external audio system to be able to use the headphone(S/PDIF) outlet.
  You will get excellent sound quality.

• Qosmio G20 = video cable component and videos in high definition with Pinnacle

  Dear everybody
  I bought my Qosmio G20-120 of the Poland that came with D video cable SCART. This cable is only capable of transferring video signals (CVBS) which is pretty useless, because Qoismio already has a S-video out... What is the best simple video production I can get to SCART.
  According to www.toshiba-europe.com Qoismio is supposed to have video output component. But it comes with cable SCART instead. I always try to make this component video cable D-video of the Distributor. If I don't succeed, does anyone know if and where I can buy this cable in Europe? Or is it possible to make a video component with the D-video out D-video cable with cable SCART?
  Everyone last tried the channels high definition DVB-S on Qoismio using USB 2.0 DVB - S TV Card.Any opinions on Pinnacle PCTV 400e?
  Thank you

  Hello

  Sorry, but I don t agree with you. SCART in my opinion is always better than S-Video. As far as I know cable SCART can transfer image and sound and picture just S-Video. Am I wrong?

  In my view, it's great that laptop Qosmio has two video ports and each use can make a choice.

  Another way your ad is a bit confusing to me. Qosmio G20 includes a section on the port (D-video) and as far as I know the original cable must be provided. You can see on this page http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB4A00TK000MR01.htm

  Using this cable you can easily connect your laptop to the TV.

• Qosmio G20-105: sound randomly stops

  My Qosmio G20 purchased recently (105) appears to 'lose her' after a certain protohistory of the time, and I have to reboot to get it working again.

  Seems to happen once I cut it for a long time protohistory - when I turn the mute off, still no sound. It's as if she fails to recognize that I turned off the mute.

  This happened to someone else? I think a fresh installation/recovery, but if there is a difficulty more easy I would be interested in any suggestions :), people

  Thank you

  Hello

  This problem very strange s. Never heard of problems.
  Before you reinstall the operating system with the recovery CD, I recommend checking the SoundMax Control Panel. In the power management tab you will find power for audio mode settings. It should check this configuration is compliant and if necessary trying to change power mode no energy savings.
  If it doesn't work try reinstalling the audio driver.

  If this don't solve this problem, well the reinstallation of the operating system would be a good possibility.
