Please check your other posting about the TV tuner installation:

The TV-TUNER-QF20-XPMCE-103250526 driver is designed for the Model range between F20-101 and F20-135. You have an F20-136 therefore you cannot install it.

Need WXP MCE drivers for Qosmio F20

Hi everyone.
I recently reloaded the OS on a clients Qosmio F20 (PQF20A-00D00C). They didn't have any recovery disks and I didn't make any recovery disks (as per a KB article I found later - not that I recall any such menu item).
I am looking for the drivers for such a laptop but the Toshiba site only has drivers for LAN, WLAN and bluetooth. I can't see any for audio, vga, chipset etc.
Any idea where I can find such drivers for XP MCE(Pro)?
Cheers.

Hay
I don't have time to check all this but I think all drivers for WXP MCE should be available on Toshiba download page under http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/
You can also try to find missing drivers on European Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp (Product type > Archive). I presume there is no big difference between Australian and European Qosmio F20.
Try to find drivers you can use with WXP MCE.

HT1710 how to update drivers

Hi my name is Jamie and i want to know how to update the drivers on a mac os x lion 10.74

You don't. Apple controls all of that through Software Update. Doesn't matter if the manufacturer of any component in the system has come out with an updated drive/software for their products. Apple will not allow it to be installed unless they set it up in Software Update.

How to update drivers for Lenovo IdeaCentre C560?

Hi all,
I have PC Lenovo IdeaCentre C560 with Windows 8.1.
There is installed LSC (Lenovo Solution Centre), which has "System" section and inside it is "Lenovo software update" block, where LSC advices me "Go to Lenovo's website to update the Lenovo software on your PC".
But there are thess problems:
There are 20 drivers for C560 for Windows 8.1 on Lenovo website.
Which of them I have to download and install?
I have tried at my Device Manager to verify for all of my devices to be last update (it was terrible work) and I always got information that my driver is up-to-date.
Somebody have told me that LSC is not SUITABLE for C560 machine.
So I have these questions:
Does anybody have installed LSC on his C560? A does it work fine (so it find and install always new driver) or he only get abstract ionformation Go to Lenovo's website to update the Lenovo software on your PC?
Are there other possibilities to regularly update drivers then LSC?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dragnote,
maybe it was caused my terrible English, so I will try to explain relevant aspects once again:
1) I bought my Lenovo IdeaCentre C560 (part number: 57322363) on 22th of May this year from "stone" shop, not through internet. The Web site of this shop is www.mironet.cz, but there is not my PC there in actual supply, because the shop stopped to sell this model. But the parameters etc of this model is on Mironet's Web site here:
http://www.mironet.cz/lenovo-ideacentre-c560-23quot-fhd-intel-core-i54570t-36ghz-8gb-1tb-dvdrw-nvidi...
but is is in Czech language.
2) My Windows are in Czech language, so I will translate it for you into English and therefore some informations/messages can be not fully exact. OK?
2) The LSC program was installed on my new PC with MS Windows 8.1 64-bit. I was only wanted to USE it! And why not. I got with PC only very slim User's Book, where was nothing much usable. And nothing about updating system and drivers, nothing about backuping etc. So I started to use SLC, because it was preinstalled there.
3) Problems of detect WHICH driver I have to update and HOW to do it:
3a) I tried three programs for detecting of my not-to-updated drivers: SLC, Detective and Smart Driver Update with these results: SLC only advice me to go to Lenovo website, Detective and Smart Driver Update gave me list of my not-to-update drivers, but the lists were rather different.
3a) The link I provided, http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/ideaCentre/message-id/9220, lists 20 drivers and all of them were released in period between 16 Oct 2013 and 01 Dec 2013, so I have used abbreviation "end of last year", but you are right - mostly of them are from 16 Oct 2013.
3b) I TRIED to compare their date of released with drivers installed on my PC, but I have two basic problems:
3b.1) How to identify WHICH driver on my PC corresponds to drivers on Lenovo web site?
The names are NOT the same. For example: on Lenovo Web site is "Realtek Audio Driver V6695 for Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - Desktop", released 17 Nov 2013, version: 6.0.1.6695. Then I found on my Device manager "Realtek High Definition Audio". So my question already is: "Is it the corresponding driver or not?". But let us say: it is.
So, now we can continue with next information on my driver : date of release is 15 Nov 2013, version: 6.0.1.7093. So I am not sure if these two drivers (one on Lenovo Web site, second on my PC) are the correct PAIR. There is antagonism between date of release and the version number.
3b.2) How to update, when I already "decided", that my driver is not-to-updated and therefore I need it to update?
I launch my Device manager, then I choice some driver, then I click on "to update driver software" and there display two possibilities: find driver on computer, or find driver on Internet. So I click on "Find driver on Internet". Then I wait about 10 seconds and then I ALWAYS get the SAME information: "The driver of this device is up-to-date"
This "optimistic" message I received for about 30 of my drivers. So there are three possible explanations how to explain it:
1) LSC, Detective and Smart Driver Update lie to me, when they tell me "You have some not-to-update drivers", because in reality all of my drivers ARE up-to-date.
2) I really have some not-to-update driver but because I cannot address correct WHICH driver is not to-up-date, I try wrong driver to update. Wrong, because it IS up-to-date.
3) I identify the correct not up-to-date driver but the choise "find driver on Internet" open finding of this procedure in non-Lenovo Web sites.
And maybe you are right when you write: "Sometimes, on a new system, Lenovo installs drivers that are "newer" than the drivers listed on their site. Don't worry, keep the newer drivers."
I apologize very much,but I am not able directly to use the information from you.
I never updated drivers on my old PC (I had it 12 years!), so I have no experiences what happens when I replace my NEW (up-to-date) driver with some OLD driver installed from Lenovo Web site. I am affraid that my keyboard, mouse, screen etc will stop its function.
When I bought this Lenovo machine, I to myself have told that I will keep my drivers up-to-date, but I do not how.

Re: Satellite Pro L - How to update drivers?

I found this site, found the driver update page for my laptop, and it said there were 61 updates available, and there was the wonderful long list. The problem is, no matter what icon or word I click on, I can't find out how to download them.
Maybe its really obvious, but would somone please tell me how ?
Many thanks,
Frank.

Hi Frank,
I have only one simple question firstly: Do you have a problem with your notebook and is it working properly? If everything is ok I can only say dont make driver updates! In my opinion these updates are only necessary if you have problems, otherwise its really not necessary.
Never touch a running system!!! ;)

How do I update drivers and BIOS on Satellite P300?

I've been having problems with my wifi, and as my partners laptop is working fine, it was suggested that I might need to update drivers and/or BIOS.
I've tried to do this but where do you download the BIOS/driver updates to?
It just defaults into 'my documents', sits there and does nothing?
After downloading, How do I ensure my notepad 'takes' the updates?
As you can see, I'm not overly technical so any advice in simpletons terms please...
Thanks.

Hello
All drivers and tools for your notebook can be downloaded here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
At first I would try a WLAN driver update. If you have downloaded the WLAN driver, unzip all files and start the setup.exe file. This will automatically install the new driver and will be used now.

How to update video drivers in Windows?

I just bought the new MBP this morning. I began crashing while playing Warhammer and it seems like it could be a driver issue. I tried installing two different drivers from laptopvideo2go.com but both of them made me immediately bluescreen whenever trying to boot into Windows. I had to rollback the driver both times.
When trying to use the official Nvidia site to detect whether I had the latest drivers, it told me to go check my manufacturer's site for drivers. I've been looking for a long time and can't seem to find anything.

I would recommend checking the tips and forum on laptop2go, and use Driver Sweeper (and tips for how to uninstall, delete, and update drivers) or review the tips if you are doing that already.

Nvidia starts offering mobile GPU drivers directly
Getting driver updates for desktop graphics cards is usually pretty easy: head to the GPU maker's website, grab the latest driver release, and you're set. That procedure often doesn't work with mobile GPUs, since users have to rely on laptop makers to provide driver updates—something that doesn't always happen in a timely manner.
Nvidia has attempted to change the formula by releasing a set of beta ForceWare drivers for GeForce 8M, 9M, and Quadro NVS mobile graphics processors. The release is available right now for Windows Vista x86, Windows Vista x64, Windows XP x86, and Windows XP x64, but Nvidia warns that the drivers won't work with Dell Vostro, Lenovo ThinkPad, and Sony VAIO notebooks, along with laptops that use Hybrid SLI technology. A set of completed, non-beta drivers will be out in early 2009.

Hello,
Does anyone know where I can find linux drivers for the F20-136's tv tuner? I understand that the Qosmio Player is based on linux so presumably they do, but I have been unable to find them.
Ideally, I'm after Suse 10 compatible drivers.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm sorry but Toshiba doesn't support Linux for their Notebooks.
But have a look on this page, maybe you will find something useful.

How can I cleanly re-install win 7 and drivers for Qosmio F60?

Guys I really need help here.. My *Qosmio F60* has been infected with annoying google re-direct virus..
I am thinking of re-formatting my laptop. But I don't have the any CD. I really forgot if my Qosmio came with the CD or not.
Please help me on how to re-install windows 7 and re-install all the drivers for Qosmio F60 while I don't have any disk with me.
Thank You

Hi
New notebooks are offered without recovery discs but with HDD recovery option. How to install OS again using HDD recovery option you can find on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
After finishing clean OS please create recovery discs using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator. These discs can be used if HDD recovery option will not work for some reason.

Qosmio G50-129 PQG55E - 64Bit Windows 7 Upgraded - How To Update BIOS?

Hello,
I have a Qosmio G50 that I have upgraded to Windows 7 64bit. My BIOS is unupdated from 6 months ago when I bought the machine.
I went to update the BIOS just to keep things up to date, so I went through the online driver wizard:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
And with all the above information inputted, it provides:
http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20090312131718.zip
After unzipping and running P0060v210.exe, it extracts and then says:
" [Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed. " (Word up to all my Googling friends!) "
Does Toshiba have a BIOS update for the Qosmio G50 that is supported on Windows 7? Specifically 64bit? They should fix this glitch that directs you to download this file when it clearly isn't supported by Windows 7.
Also, I tried to run it in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2 and it ran fine -- but I was nervous about going through with the update if it originally doesn't support Windows 7, so I don't continue at the next prompt. Is it safe to do this? Has anyone else in this situation done it without issues? I've read that BIOS updates can go horribly wrong if not careful, so I'm hesitant to update the BIOS by running the updater in compatibility mode when it doesnt support Windows 7 on its own!
Thanks in advance for any assistance and Merry Xmas.

Hi All,
Sorry ,my English is not perfect.I have a Toshiba Qosmio G50-12K.The solution is go to the US Toshiba website.Here is the link:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2140527& rpn=PQG55U&modelFilter=G55-Q805&selCategory=3&selFamily=804517
There are all of the BIOS what is available. The 2.1 BIOS exactly the same as on the European website just they used a zip file. If you guys open it you will find the same .exe file, the file size is the same, but don't use this one, instead of it you can find there an ISO file. Write a CD with this one, turn off the computer and boot from the CD, use the F12 button. This is a safety way update the BIOS. But I use the 2.3, this is newest one, for me this one is works much better, because the display is more bright. I hope this is a big help for you and you understand my English! :)

How to update video card driver?

Hi, I have a Toshiba satellite pro C660-1LR laptop and I don't know how to update the video card driver which is an "Intel® HD Graphics". I have been to the intel site and when scanning for updates I was given this message:
"A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer."
I was wondering where to go from here as the lack of update for my video card driver is preventing me from playing some games.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

driver updates for your system would be on this page:

Re: Qosmio F20-137 - After I installed Windows 7 I got no sound

I have Installed Windows 7 on my Qosmio F20 and all drivers were installed by windows update after I connected to Internet.
I can play musik and videon files in Windows Media player but there is no sound in the inbuilt speakers or if I connect headphones.
If I look on the driver for the sound in devicemanager it says everything is OK. Does anyone know what the problem is?
I have also reinstalled Windows 7 but still same problem.
Regards,
Henrik

> I remeber that I muted/disabled the sound in Windows XP before I isntalled Windows 7
This could be a problem!
I think you would need to install the Win XP and would need enable the sound again (unmute). After that you could install the Win 7 again.
I found also this Toshiba document:

Maybe it will work for you if not follow the advice above.

Qosmio F20 with Vista RTM

I have successfully installed Windows Vista RTM on my Qosmio F20-155 device. The installation went smooth and everything is fine.
I have the following problems which I suppose are common with everyone else:
- No SD card support
- Waiting for new nVidia card drivers
- Fn keys and media keys don't work
However, something I'm not very sure everyone is experiencing is that absence of sound support. Vista recognized the sound card is "SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio". However, I can't hear any sound from my speakers. I tried forcing another driver (that of Tecra, found on the support site), but Vista would fire a BSOD and die. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with my notebook because the Qosmio player can output sound normally (from outside Windows).
Anyone having the same problem? And do you think the RTM drivers are gonna be late?

The driver for Windows Vista seems to be functional :)
As I've seen mentioned somewhere else, I did not have sound on Windows Vista because I installed it while I had the sound muted on Windows XP. When I installed XP MCE on another partition, and un-muted the sound, Windows Vista was able to produce sound properly :)

Questions about remote control and infrared port Qosmio F20

Hi again,
My Toshiba Qosmio F20 comes with a remote control funcioning through a infrared device on the front of the computer.
Regarding this I have 2 questions:
1. How do I configure additonal functionality through the remote control? (Like launching and controlling Winamp?)
2. How do I connect other devices, like my cellular phone, pdas etc., to the infrared device on my computer?
Kind regards,
Vegard

Hi,
the Remote Control delivered with the Qosmio F20 is designed only for Windows XP Media Center Edition (all Remote Control's which are designed for Windows XP Media Center Edition work only with Media Center or Windows Media Player). Other program's like Winamp were not supported by these Remote Control's.
I believe, the Remote Control's are made by Microsoft and for a wide palette of product's (the Infrared Transceiver is on nearly all Media Center PC's e.g. Siemens-Fujitsu, the same). So it's a little bit tricky to support more program's then Media Center or Windows Media Player.
For other program's you need a second Remote Control like this one:
