Changing colour settings on Qosmio X500/02G

How do I change the colour settings on my X500/02G running Windows Home?
At present the colours are way too bright and saturated - similar to the way tvs are set up in stores.
I've changed the brightness to no effect. I've checked the NVIDIA software but its not controling the colours some other sofware is - which I cant find
Any ideas?

Hi
How did you change the brightness? Normally therefore you can use the key combinations FN+F6 and FN+F7.
Furthermore the colors can be changed in driver options of your graphic card. Right click on the desktop and choose the display properties. In advanced options you can find it and the driver menu will appear.

Re: Qosmio X500-02G - Hum when I plug in into amp

Why does my Toshiba laptop hum when I plug into amp when using power adapter Qosmio X500-02G.
When I run on baterry no hum

Hi drs,
That means your notebook creates noises when AC/DC adapter is connected?!
Well, its hard to say something about this. Is the noise coming from your notebook or AC/DC adaptor itself?
What operating system you have installed?
Are you using newest BIOS version?
In your case I would check the current BIOS version and have a look on official Toshiba website for an update. After the update load the default settings in BIOS and check if this worked or not.

Qosmio X500/02G gaming/fingerprint/crashing problems

hi all, i have recently brought a Qosmio X500/02G about 2 months ago, i had initially had a problem where i launched modern warfare 2 and it took forever to load then i had massive lag in the game where my soldier couldnt even move most the time and i was waiting for it to crash but never did it just lagged the whole time, so took it into harvey norman to check it out they rebooted it and now i my original fingerprints dont work and when i try to install it again it says already stored but their is no finger prints stored in the finger print menu, however my game started running with less lag, but then once i passed a few levels it starts massivly lagging again, i have called toshiba support and havnt had much luck accept to take it back to harvey normans and get them to sort it but i havnt had much luck so far. I payed $3,300 for this machine and was promised it was the best for gaming but so far has been a massive headache, is it because its 64 bit? this model doesnt have an option to run in 32 bit as its designed only for 64 bit... advice? shall i take it back to harvey normans and make them fix it till it runs perfect with no lag or never crashes on any of my games (it even crashes on colin mcrae dirt)

It had problems the first day i brought it, and then when i installed modern warfare 2 it lagged like crazy and i returned it to harvey normans straight away to complain about it, then they reformated it and, i lost the fingerprinting ability with a few of my fingers as it stored it in a place where i cant delete and it wont recognise it any more, alot of people have this problem also with upgrading their toshiba to windows 7 where mine is reformating, and then the computer crashes on colin mcrae dirt constantly and especially when it loads the races up, then it freezes whilst watching a dvd on it in which i have to restart the computer, then the most recent event is it goes to a blue screen and tells me its dumping physical memory then shuts down and when rebooted the prompting got worse till the point where i have had to do a recovery where it is back to some what of a stable state but end result im not happy at all with this laptop and i wish i never brought it. If toshiba wants my money in future they better sort this problem out asap.
This is all i could gather from the computer crashing.

How to change colour settings on Satellite Pro P300

I just got my new laptop and can't for the life of me find how to change the colour settings in the monitor.
On my old desktop there was a button on the monitor.
Being a first time laptop user im going nuts trying to find how to change my monitor settings...
If anyone can help id be so grateful

Please dont mix the notebooks internal monitor with the external desktop PC monitor.
You will not find any control unit like on the external monitor which would help you to change the color.
I dont know what graphic chip your notebook uses but my notebook supports Intel graphic card and the preinstalled Intel graphic media accelerator (in control panel) provides some settings for color correction;
The settings are; color, gamma, brightness and contrast
There you can set the values between 0 and 100

Qosmio x500/02G Number Pad Not Working

Hello,
I have a x500 that i recently purchased and installed Windows 7 Professional on it. Now i cannot use the number pad on the right hand side of the keyboard.
I've tried using various combinations of NUMLOCK and SCROLLLOCK to no avail. Surely there a seperate number pad doesn't require drivers?!

The problem was a faulty keyboard. there was a bank of keys on the numeric pad that were non-functional.
A bit dissapointing given i'd had the laptop for less than 24 hours. Took it back to the store for a replacement.

At startup I use fingerprint scan to login and have no probs. Same fingerprint also autocompletes passwords etc on IE pages.
When I run the Toshiba Fingerprint Utility it sticks a fingerprint request on top but does not respond in any way to my scanning my finger.
Any ideas. Any help wil be much appreciated

QOSMIO X500-12D - webcam, bluetooth and fingerprint disconnection issues

Hello,
I still got no solution for this problem. I already did a clean install of Win 7 x64 but still no luck. The devices still keeping disconnecting and I have to reboot to resolve. (this is bad since I normaly using a bluetooth keyboard)
Further this Problem seems not only to occour if system goes 'idle' since my bluetooth keyboard was disconnected during typing. (whatever 'idle' means).
Sometimes I was able to recover at least the Bluetooth connection by turn it off and on again within the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, sometimes with the HW switch (which also deactivates the WLAN) and sometimes only a reboot helped.
It seems that all three devices (Bluetooth, Webcam, Fingerprintsensor) are connected to the same integrated USB root hub within the system.
After my last test, everything was working before I left the system during a nightly copy operation of a 'few' gig, I come back after ~4 hours and all devices were disconnected (HW not installed) --> I checked in the device manager (see [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241257] to show devices which are not connected and in the computermanagement right click device manager -> View -> Show hidden devices) all 3 devices shown as 'not connected'.
I already opened a case at support and they told me to update the bios. (when I opened the call the tests were done with the latest bios available)
Nevertheless, I also had a small talk with the support and they told me to restore the system from the recovery DVD's and check if the problem persists after the restore of the 'certified' image (drivers and so on). If it still persists they will do a HW repair. (change mainboard or whatever)
*AGAIN... is there still NO solution out there? I have searched the web and found many people with the same issues. (X500 owners and others)*
_What did i tried:_
- different hotfixes as described at [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0402UQ0001R01.htm] and [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ0402UC0001R01.htm] ([http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978258])
- right now I am using [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981214] since the build numbers of the files are higher than in the hotfix mentioned above and therefor this hotfix should also resolve the problem described in [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978258]. (and I am using an USB audio device)
- I also tried to disable different things of the power management (e.g. disabled usb selective suspending)
Modell QOSMIO X500-12D

HI,
It seems that I have found a solution for this problem.
If you have read my first post exactly you should have read that i already disabled the selective USB suspend.
I have connected 2 external USB hubs which are powered by an AC/DC adapter. On this USB hubs I have connected varios USB devices...7.1 USB Headset, external HDD's, PDA, Card Reader, PKI device, USB Sticks, etc.
Nevertheless, I also disabled the the Powermanagement settings on all devices which were involved and where it is possible.
To do this goto the device manager --> right click --> View --> show devices by connection.
Now locate your bluetooth, webcam and fingerprint device. (be carefull names might be different because of different drivers!)
Should be under ACPI x64-based PC --> PCI-Bus --> Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller --> {color:#ff0000}*USB-Root-Hub*{color} --> {color:#ff0000}*Generic USB Hub*{color} -->
There you should find all integrated devices which are troublemaker:
* {color:#ff0000}*AuthenTec Inc. AES2550*{color}
* Bluetooth USB Controller-7 from TOSHIBA
* USB-Webcam
Now double click every device in this 'chain' and locate the powermanagement TAB. (Please note that NOT all devices in this chain do have a powermanagement tab and cannot be configured....that's ok)
On the power management tab uncheck 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' and click OK.
I have done this for all devices which are {color:#ff0000}*marked red in the chain above*{color}. (_I also deactivated the USB selective suspend in the used powermanagement plan!)_
It seems to work now....until now no more bluetooth problem or devices which were gone. It might be that it is enough to disable the Power saving settings only on one or two devices, but right now i had no time to test.
Please also keep in mind that I am using the latest Intel Chipset driver, latest Toshiba drivers and installed the Microsoft hotfixes described in my first post in this thread!
It would be very nice if some people can try and post here if it works!
Regards

Qosmio X500-15F - How can I modify the DPI?

Hello
With Qosmio X500-15F and graphic card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M
I'm using a professional software for jewelry building (Matrix 6.0 based on Rhinoceros 3D 4.0 SR9). When starting it, the software is asking me to set the DPI to normal.
How can I modify the DPI? I already tried different resolution settings. It doesn't change the problem.
Thanks for help

DPI is how many pixels per inch of the LCD. You can't change that.
I think the software needs a specific resolution or LCD size. Try lowering the resolution to 1280x800 or try an external monitor.

Qosmio X500 - Windows 7 stuck at Login Screen

Machine: Qosmio x500-10U
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium OA
Start up and installation worked first round. I then made the following partitions:
C:Windows (original system partition)
D: Data (here I put all my working files)
F: Executables (here are all the binary executables that I use)
I moved some files from C:\Programs to F:\Programs.
Everything worked fine.
Then I got clever and decided to change F: to E: (for executables) to do this I had to move E:DVD (original system default) to a new letter. I chose O:DVD (for 'Optical') and moved F: to E:.
Then I re-booted.
Now the system boots all the way to the login screen except that there are no user choices. Windows itself has obviously started because other functions such as the 'Shutdown' and 'Restart' buttons work. But no User icons or boxes appear to select a user and enter a password.
When I boot from an UBUNTO disk the DVD drive also works and I can still get hold of all my data on the various partitions. I just can't get windows itslef to log on.
I have a recovery file on the hard drive but no Optical disk because it kept saying that the creation of the recovery disk had failed.
I suspect that I need to fix some drive pointers in the windows registery file. Unfortunately the 'regedit' utility doesn't work under UBUNTO.
Any ideas?

Hi
That means on login screen you cant choose the different users, is this right?
If yes it would be interesting to know which users is logged in after booting Windows. Check this!!
To be honest this is a little bit complicated and I dont understand why you did this procedure. In my opinion this has muddled the Windows registry or some other important files and the only option would be reinstalling Windows I think.
> I have a recovery file on the hard drive but no Optical disk because it kept saying that the creation of the recovery disk had failed.
What error message you get exactly? Maybe the recovery disk creator cant find the files anymore Why you didnt create the disk before?
Now you could try the HDD recovery option. This would be your last chance to get factory settings back and maybe it works

Qosmio X500 - Warranty with new HDD?

I bought a Qosmio X500 last month (waranty : 1 year)
If I change my HardDisk and install my own Windows 7 on it, do I lost my Toshiba 1 year warranty?
Merci !

Hi jerkoo,
You can burn the Toshiba recovery disk with all Toshiba tools and drivers using Toshiba recovery disk creator. But if you have already installed another OS its too late because it can only be done on preinstalled Windows 7 where you can find this recovery disk creator.
By the way: I must say all information about this you can also find your user manual that you should read! ;)
If you miss some drivers you can download it from official Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Last but not least its also possible to order a recovery disk from Toshiba but its not for free. It costs about 30 Euros But its very comfortable because after recovery installation you have factory settings again and your notebook is read to use:

Qosmio X500-126 Shuts down

I have a TOSHIBA Qosmio X500-126 bought 01.07.2010 warranty expired 30.06.2013
On 25.05.2013 I experienced a problem wile playing a new generation game. My PC turned off. I thought i was over heating but i continued to shutdown each time i played Heavy PC games on High-Ultra Graphic settings.
On date 28.05.2013 i sent it to get serviced. They switched one of my PC-cooling fans and returned it to me.
The computer worked for about a week than the same problem started again.
On date 13.06.2013 i sent it back again. The employees switched a fan again (i don't know if it was the same fan or a different one) and returned it to me.
This time the Computer worked till 09.07.2013 when I set it back for a Stuck WIFI switch they fixed it and returned it to me.
The PC continued to work properly till date 07.08.2013 when the problem of shutting down started again. This time the employees only did diagnosis. And i know a diagnosis will not fix the problem currently i am using the computer to only what movies and browse the internet. Because no mater what PC game i try running the PC just shuts down, no matter the Graphic settings.
PS: I am quite dissented in the service.

My first post was deleted, but I will continue to publish the experience not only in this forum but also all over the internet! It is unacceptable to delete the opinion of your customers! Even my story is developing for a few days!
I bought two laptops Toshiba Qosmio X500-126 in 2010 (one for me and one for my boss). The problems began on the first year. One of the laptops (the one of my boss) was literally thrown out as rubbish a year after the purchase.
The problems with my laptop started with the registration of the warranty. After several calls to the store and a few hours I was able to register the warranty.
My first complaint was about overheating and shutdown (enter date 16.07.2012). The laptop was warming up so much that the fan had melted and separated from the bottom cover at one of the end s. I took the laptop from repair on 23.07.2012 and they made me pay for fixing it.
On 01.10.2012 I left the laptop for repair again due to overheating and shutdown problems . The temperature began literally to melt and bend the upper and lower lid ... The lower lid was deformed to such an extent that it is separated from the rear side and had trouble with the hinge of the display. Because of the hot air from the fan, the screen bottom began to fade (near to the fan). Moreover , the computer totally refused to work and to turn on again. At the repair office they replaced the charger, cleaned the laptop and sent me an offer for a new bottom and top cover . They told me the damages were mechanical and I caused them !
On 25.02.2013 my laptop refused to turn on again and had to bring it for repair again. They give it back to me with changed charger on 28.02.2013. This time I got blamed for the bad conditions at our office, although there was no other case of a broken only equipment for the last four years except the laptop.
On the 30.07.2013 I left the laptop again for repair . This time I chose another maintenance office that works with Toshiba. The plastic parts of the laptop were so bent and melted that this time no one could say that I've broken it . The laptop was heating like a stove... Through the warranty, the bottom cover was replaced , but not the top cover. Its lower part, which is close to the fan and to the display, was also visibly melted.. The repair was completed on the 14.08.2013.

Qosmio X500-106 - Windows 7 clean install problems

Hi
Recently purchased a Toshiba X500-106
and it came with Windows 7 Home Premium,
I purchased Windows 7 Ultimate as I wanted to use
Bit-Locker.
When I installed Windows 7 Ultimate OS I started my Laptop up and found that all original software was gone.
Of course, but Now the screen is dark and the Graphics aren't right as I tried to run Solitaire and it said "Graphics not hardware accelerated".
I then checked my system rating and found that My graphics was rated as "1.0"; and I can't watch any DVDs or blu-ray films, I keep trying to find a way to change the video setting but to no avail!
Is it worth me restoring the HDD to Factory Spec?
I'm not happy that it just looks bad, do I need the original software to change the settings?
I've installed all relevant divers and software from NVIDIA and Toshiba but it's not working!
What is my best option? Clean install again?
Restore HDD to factory spec?
Any help massively appreciated

Interestingly I have install Windows7 Ultimate from an upgrade (not a clean install) on my X500-02M. Now it enjoys nothing better than loocking up every 20 or 30 minutes. I have made sure there are no viruses and run "Registery Patrol" on the computer but it is still very unstable. It also is actually more unstable doing simple things like doing word docs, project programs & emails than if running a game.
So while I have all my Toshiba software my Qosmio runs like a dog.
Toshiba suggested (no surprise here) resetting the system. Seems to me an easy answer but this is not the 1st X500 02M that has done this the first became so bad it is now back with its makers. The system seems to be inherantly unstable (much like some of the old satelites but without the blue screen of death)
While I do recomend going back to the original Toshiba software (notebooks are like that) I do not recoment getting a Windows 7 ultimate upgrade pack until Toshiba makes it as the standard one seems not to work too well.

Qosmio X500 - Black screen crash when loading games, requiring reboot

I have a brand new Qosmio X500 (PQX33A-00X00J) with all the original drivers as they came out the box, and 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS. The only thing I've done on this laptop is install games. The laptop runs fine for most things, and for a very few games (Unreal Tournament 2007 is the only one so far), but almost all games crash with a black screen the first time they're run. Sometimes I'll see a splash screen the first time, and once or twice I've got to a start screen, but thereafter the screen goes completely black, no sound, and the machine freezes requiring a reboot.
It's extremely frustrating, considering this is a brand new, out of the box gaming laptop, and I haven't changed any drivers or anything. It's running an Nvidia Geforce GTS 250M display card, and the native resolution for the LCD screen is 1920x1080. I suspect it may have something to do with the unusual native screen resolution or the aspect ratio, because I managed to get one game to run (FEAR) by going into the supplied config utility and setting the game's default screen resolution to 1024x768. FEAR has the same crash if set to a higher resolution.
The games I've tried:
Unreal Tournament 2007 - runs perfectly at all resolutions
Half Life 2 - crashes on launch with black screen, no sound, requiring reboot.
Counter Strike - the 1st time I managed to the setup screen, changed screen resolution, it crashed immediately. Thereafter it crashes straight away on launch, I can't even get to the setup screen. Uninstalled, reinstalled, same thing, crashes on launch with black screen, requiring reboot.
Bioshock - only ever got a "Bioshock" logo, then crashes with black screen, requiring reboot.
Frontlines - Fuel of War - crashes on launch with blank screen, requiring reboot.
Call Of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare - crashes immediately on loading with black screen, requiring reboot.
Crysis - crashes immediately on loading with black screen, requiring a reboot.
Except for UT 2007, almost every game has just crashed the first time it's been run, I usually don't even get a 1st shot at trying to change any settings. I've tried loading the games that provide a safe mode in that (e.g. Modern Warfare), but the same thing happens. I've also tried setting the laptop resolution to 1024x768 before running the games, but no difference. I've also made sure I'm running the latest patched version of the games, and I've checked the Toshiba website, but there are no driver updates so far that I can find for this laptop either.
I'm completely pulling my hair out, and solving this is very time consuming, because every time I try anything I have to reboot before I can try something else. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Someone suggested I try turning off my antivirus, and it turns out that was the problem. It seems Comodo has compatibility problems with games in Windows 64-bit editions since one of their latest releases.

Qosmio X500 and HDMI output does not work automatically

Sorry for my english..
Good morning.
I have a Qosmio x500 recently that runs on Windows 8.1
Previously, when I plugged in a hdmi cable from the PC to the TV, I had ( Samsung TV ), after a beep on the PC , automatically binding and made ??the TV is lit ( if it was in standby).
I could even control the PC with the TV remote control, put a movie , pause, etc.. Super convenient!
Source indicated on the TV Anynet + Toshiba pc.
And when I commutais with the TV remote control on TV, the PC screen is lit .
Off, despite repeated attempts with at least 5 software (drivers ?) Different Toshiba certified HDMI, I do not have it and I have to manually switch to see the PC on the TV (choose HDMI source on the TV) .
HDMICtrlMan is a folder where after installation, there are:
ChangeOutput.exe
HCMSoundChanger.exe
HDMICtrlCfg.exe
HDMICtrlMan.exe
But nothing works !
I also updated the video and audio driver: gforce gts 360m
But now I hold!
And I do not know the logical progression of the computer when you plug an HDMI cable (totally depends on the graphics chip ?).
If someone has an idea or experience of this problem, thank you in advance

>The problem is that with the drivers windows 7 64 bit, HDMI worked.
The problem is that you changed to a Windows system which is NOT supported on this notebook.
Of course you can use Windows 8.1 on this Qosmio X500 model but this does not mean that all notebook features would work properly.
Windows 8.1 is completely different and many Windows 7 tools and utilities are not compatible with Win 8.1
I dont know if this will help you but the Windows 8.1 Toshiba System Driver is very important software when in comes to use Windows 8.1 on Toshiba notebooks.
Try to install this Windows 8.1 Toshiba System Driver released for Qosmio X870/875 series.
But if this will not work, I dont see any other possible solutions.
Either you will give up the Windows 8.1 and will switch back to supported Win 7 or you would use Win 8.1 but without the automatic HDMI support.

Camera raw images change colour in adobe bridge

I have photoshop CS4 and import my camera raw images into Adobe Bridge. When I view the thumbnails in bridge my raw images look vibrant and exactly like they appear on the camera but when I go to open them in camera raw edit they change colour and look washed out before I've made any changes. Can anyone help me figure out how to correct this?

ssprengel wrote:
My camera is set to shoot sRGB JPGs and is set to all zeros for the brightness/contrast/saturation parameters.
What is your camera set to as far as these basic toning settings, as well as any automatic things like DLighting or highlight compression and perhaps any custom curves or whatever that is called for Nikons?
First paragraph - so is mine.
Second paragraph - all other settings are neutral/zeroed/turned off, as per my post to which you responded. That is, no additional tone curves - Active D-Lighting turned OFF (why anyone would let the camera decide what to do do with highlights and shadows is beyond my level of trust) , Jpg compression is Optimal (least possible) et cetera.
Think I now have an explanation for the different displays in ACR (and Bridge) that I have been experiencing. Took a new duplicate Jpg/Raw shot with the in-camera Picture Control set to Neutral. Now, when both the Jpg and .NEF Raw are viewed in ACR, with the ACR Camera profile set to Camera Neutral, they appear, ASAICT, identical. Saved Camera Neutral as the default ACR Camera profile. Now back in Bridge, the images also appear pretty much identical.
I think what was happening previously was that I had failed to save Camera Standard in ACR as the default Camera profile, and it was defaulting to Adobe Standard, and hence it was rendering Raw thumbnails for Bridge to that Camera profile - hence the difference in appearance between the Jpg and Raw in Bridge. Unless I have got it completely wrong, I think my problem is now solved.
