Windows 2000 on a Qosmio G10

Hi everyone, I am considering installing Win2000 on my G10 because I think it's an OS better than XP. Does anyone have any experience with the game, or I am about to be the first to give it a try.

In case anyone out there has done this before,
the G10 retains its full functionality on 2000?
What alternatives are there to the media library?
I'll be able to watch TV in Windows?

Hello

I don't know if it's a good idea to install Win2000 on Qosmio G10 Toshiba provides the drivers and other software only for XP. But perhaps XP drivers also work with 2000.

Besides why do you think that Win2000 is better than XP? In my experience, XP has the same characteristics as 2000.

If you have tried installing, let us know.
Good bye

  • Qosmio G10 - no sound on DVD playback

    I have a Qosmio G10 - 106 I just got working again - had to replace the hard drives. I have loaded Windows 7 top and almost everything works up to a point, but gradually working through each of the questions.
    I can't find the original restore disks.

    The problem I have with sound - there is no sound during playback of dvd, although it works very well on Web pages, IE YouTube and is also on audio CD.

    Any suggestions please?

    Hi Debsta_1!

    What software you use to watch DVDs?
    In my opinion, this has something to do with the software you use, because you wrote that the sound works on pages web e. g.

    I always use VLC media player to watch movies on my computer. It s compatible with most audio and video files and this tool is a freeware. I like it a lot because it of too small and never had a problem with it.

  • Qosmio G10-137: blue screen after re-install using Recovery CD

    Hi all

    just got my qosmio G10-137 earlier this week after being under repair since the beginning of the month of January! Guys made the repair found no better then install the Dutch version of the operating system. I don't like this, then I took out my recovery CD and began the recovery. Everything works fine and I am asked to remove the media and reboot my PC.

    This beautiful laptop to start early and... Blue screen of death. Restarts, wonder how to restart... count up to normal reboot... BSOD... restarts, wonder how... I choose "Safe Mode"... BSOD... I choose the mode safe mode with prompt... the system.ini file is missing!

    It seems that the recovery CD is bogus.

    If someone has encountered this? Does anyone have any resolution?

    Kind regards
    Wim

    Hello

    It s very strange because the recovery CD was tested and install several times. It should work without any problems.
    I put t know where you come from, but the service partner should install the Windows operating system in the same language. In this case, if you bought the device in Dutch the recovery CD and the OS are in the Dutch language.
    Please note that you must use the same recovery CD that came with the device. Another recovery CD will not work.
    What you can do is to test the unit with an original CD of Microsoft Windows. It would be very interesting to know if the blue screen appears with the original Windows.

  • Qosmio G10-100 - failed afer replacement with larger HARD drive HARD drive

    Following a failure in a Qosmio G10-100 HARD drive, I replaced the HD 80 GB IDE current with a 160 GB IDE drive. After execution of the recovery of the DVD, new HARD drive has been formatted and installed the software (later proved by removing the drive and treat as an exterrnal disk on another PC).

    However, on booting, the machine has recognized that it was another hard drive and it wouldn't let me go beyond the screen that offers alternatives (Safe Mode, etc.), nor what would allow me access.

    Counsel gratefully received

    > After running the recovery DVD, new HARD drive has been formatted and installed the software (later proved by removing the drive and treat as an exterrnal disk on another PC).

    Sorry mate but I put t understand what you did exactly
    You have installed the Windows operating system on the new HARD drive by using the recovery disk. Right?
    Well, the recovery procedure has completed correctly? The operating system has been successfully installed?

    Did repeat the installation of the OS?
    If this is not the case, repeat!

  • Qosmio G10 does not work - some graphic problems

    Hello
    I have a Qosmio G10 a few years back, within the first year of its use the graphics seemed to go crazy after using it for games.
    Since then, I've left the but recently I dug to see if I can get it fixed it as my partner needs.

    1. whenever I start it I have a white screen with sound (I can get the screen each time by pressing F5 (current view).
    2. I tried the system restore cd, but when it finishes I wake a fragmented Windows screen with the beginning bar all over the place, and then it just freezes
    3. However, when I try a professional XP operating system to recover (I found somewhere), it starts up no probs apart from a few blue vertical lines on the screen, starting when I get on the desktop there is no probs although res is set to low and used to move (no graphics driver). Then I tried to load the Qosmio tools & utilities and can support all but the Chipset (that quite fragmented and I have to restart the whole process) and driver nvidia Gforce graphics that I assume will not charge because the chipset?

    I thought it might be a cd of defective recovery but when I changed during a hard drive of new fresh on the wrapper started everthing briefly as it should do this before, he crashed any temptation of power again.

    Pulling my hair out please help!

    Hello

    > 1. Every time I start it I have a white screen with sound (I can get the screen each time by pressing F5 (current view).
    Looks like the screen is positioned on the external monitor and so nothing does not appear on the internal screen laptops. Perhaps this happens because of the changed settings in the properties of the graphics card.

    > 2. I tried the system restore cd, but when it finishes I wake a fragmented Windows start with the bar start screen all over the place, and then it just freezes
    Usually the laptop should start correctly after the installation of the recovery CD. If the laptop freezes then a hardware problem is possible.

    > 3. However when I try an operating system XP Professional to recover (I found somewhere), it starts up no probs apart from a few blue vertical lines on the screen, starting when I get on the desktop there is no probs although res is set to low and used to move (no graphics driver). Then I tried to load the Qosmio tools & utilities and can support all but the Chipset (that quite fragmented and I have to restart the whole process) and driver nvidia Gforce graphics that I assume will not charge because the chipset?

    In my view, your graphics card could malfunction. I come to the conclusion because the laptop works ok until the graphics driver will be installed. Without graphic driver installed the laptop seems to run I think GPU dysfunction could also be the reason why the laptop does not start correctly after the installation of the recovery CD. The restore CD already contains the graphics driver that controls the graphics card chip

    So in my opinion, you should contact the ASP in your country for a control of the laptop.
    Maybe the technicians could find the fault.

    Good luck

  • What is this update? (Qosmio G10)

    I received the email below from Toshiba. I hate the fact that they - in most cases - do not explain what is an update about and I also hate to install something I have no idea what it is.

    All done and can tell what it is? Is this somehow, or simply an extra utility. My WIFI works properly, so I did not any question about that.

    Thank you.

  • Qosmio G10: Monitor completely blackened

    Hello!

    I have a problem with my Qosmio G10, I turn on the laptop, the fan made a noise, and finally he logs in Windows. Meanwhile, I can't see what is happening, because the screen is blacked out. I hear just to log on Windows.

    I tried to connect a normal PC monitor, in addition to press Fn + F5, which is the shortcut key for b/w display switch types.

    If anyone has or has had the same problem and could help me, I would be more than grateful, as long as this problem is happening for weeks.

    Hello

    Have you tried to boot in safe mode?
    Please check if this is possible and if it will not solve the problem of the display.

    But if the note, then I suggest that there is something wrong with the display or a part of the screen for example: FL inverter.
    In this case the best way is to contact Toshiba service partner because he could do a diagnostic test and it can get a good answer what part is default.

  • Failure to display on Qosmio G10

    Hello

    I use a Qosmio G10 for 4 years now. I just got a new motherboard installed 2 months. This morning the display begins to act weird.
    When starting the laptop, windows, start symbol appears almost normal colors, but when the windows desktop is running for 2-3 seconds, the picture becomes bright. The text of the desktop icons is not sharp, and half lower of the screen there is a fine glitter mesh. Although the colors are abnormal on the entire screen: (to be determined with paint)
    -Black is black and white is always white
    -light gray (hue 120, saturation 0, RGB brightness each 192 181) seems normal but dark gray (hue 120, saturation 0, 120, RGB brightness every 128) is represented white.
    -brown (0, 240, 60 128 red brightness saturation hue) and the red light (0, 240, 120 red 255 brightness saturation hue) are represented as the same light red.
    -too dark and clear (yellow, green, turquoise, blue and magenta) are represented as the same color on the screen.
    I look at the picture you see immediately that the colors are not properly represented.
    When the screen is off, and then it shows colors initially normal, but then (after 2-3 seconds) everything becomes brighter and the colors become indistinguishable as described.

    If a 2nd screen is used each colors appear normal.
    I tried the new display driver: no improvement.

    Please give me a diagnosis which component is defect. Do I need a new display or is the new mainbord fault (guarantee).

    > If a 2nd screen is used each colors appear normal.
    According to your description it takes the laptop display problem.
    On the internet you can find many free tools for the control of the display. Try to test with these tools.

  • Video error on Qosmio G10 since the new software

    Hello world

    I have a problem with my MCE LiveTV. When I want to watch live TV, then always comes this error:

    "Error video - files neede to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Media Center or restart the computer.
    When I follow this order, nothing changes.

    I have this problem since I installed new software on my Qosmio G10 yesterday. It's called Magix Video deLuxe 2005/2006. When I uninstalled the new software, Live TV still does not work.
    It only works when I have sett my computer back to the time where I have not yet installed Magix Video deLuxe. But then I can't use the new software.
    I also tried to reinstalled the video driver and the TV Tuner, but the error is still there.

    What can I do now? Please help me

    I would say that the software that you install is not compatible with Windows MCE. It is possible and the cause likley. If you have all updates for windows and Magix Video and it still does not work then the problem is with the software application and the no compatibility. The fact that it works before and after roll you back OS proves it.

    What are you actually trying to do with the Magix software that Windows can't do?

  • Qosmio G10: How to get Toshiba virtual sound in the taskbar

    System: Qosmio G10 running Windows XP.

    When I bought the system, it came loaded with application of 'Virtual Sound' of Toshiba, which has replaced the standard Microsoft Volume control app in the XP taskbar (bottom right of the screen). Now, the 'Volume Control' standard app appears in the taskbar.

    How to bring back the "Virtual Sound" app? It allows me to switch easily between defining the sound of the internal speakers of the laptop and using bigger speakers.

    Thank you!

    Ben.

    PS. love Qosmio!

    When you start the virtual sound application icon should appear in the taskbar.
    Try right-clicking on the application. Maybe you'll get an option to place in the taskbar

    I hope you can help me. Before a few weeks, I received my Toshiba Qosmio G10 return of aid, because the laptop no longer works. So I get it back with a new graphics card and a new PCB.
