Miracast on Qosmio PX30T-A-14T

Just tried using a MS Wireless Display adapter on my AIO and when I try to "project" under devices it tells me "your PC cant project to another screen".
This version of the PX30T just has the on-board Intel Graphics adapter, just wondering if it is not actually Miracast capable. As I am not even getting this far I must assume I cannot extend/duplicate the desktop with the on-board HDMI and it is nothing to do with Miracast really. The HDMI on in seems to be HDMI in only.
Does anyone know if this is my limitation before I muck around for days looking for different drivers?

As Im not mistaken the Miracast isnt supported on PCs with Intel HD Graphics 3000 or lower.
Regarding the active display change:
Toshiba Button Support Utility allows you to configure the function keys.
The Fn+ F5 or Fn + F4 could be configured in order to change the active display device
If the display is not displayed on external monitor or TV you would need to change the resolution.
By the way; dont mix the HDMI IN port and HDMI OUT port.
Devices equipped with HDMI out port (camcorder or notebooks) could be connected to HDMI IN port to get the display on this All in one computer.
HDMI OUT port provides audio and video signals to another devices (i.e HDMI capable display)
Thanks, that link to the Intel info confirms no Intel wireless display functionality with that CPU, much appreciated, saved me a lot of time trying to get this to work. Agree on the HDMI, seems to be in only, can be used with a device (gaming console for example) without powering on the PC. But then I have a TV for that!

Qosmio PX30t-A-119 - external Microphone configuration error

I have a RCN-PX30t-A-119 - Qosmio PX30t-A-119 23" Touchscreen All in One PC Core i3-3120M 8GB RAM 1TB HDD
Everytime I try and configure my external Microphone i'm getting the message 'Windows Shell Common DLL has stopped working' and the Microphone doesn't work. Can anyone help me fix this?

According to different information which I found in internet, such error and similar notification appears because the system is screwed up.
Start the command prompt and then Run as Administrator
Then type the command: *sfc /scannow* and press Enter.
If this does not help, uninstall the sound driver.
Reboot the notebook and then install the sound driver again (should download the proper driver from Toshiba driver page)

Qosmio PX30t-A-119 is not connecting to WLAN

My PC keeps telling me no connections are available.
My router is on and my phone &'iPad can connect to it but my Qosmio can't.
I managed to connect it via an Ethernet cable but when I removed it it still can't pick up any broadband signal. Any ideas?

There must be some problem with WLAN settings.
Try to restart your router.
Check if the both devices are set to the same WLAN standard.
Play a bit with WLAN settings. I cannot imagine there is some other reason for this small WLAN issue.

All-in-One Qosmio PX30t - Mouse wheel application interruptions

hello there ...
for some reason my mouse wheel has been configured to switch to the start page (tiles).
I find this convenient while operating the desktop activities but during other applications its a bit irritating. Here are examples of what i mean:
1. in google's chrome, i use the wheel extensively to open a new tab. now with 8.1 i cant as the wheel action takes me to start page (tiles)
2. im playing Fable and the block action is set to the mouse wheel (make sense as its the most convenient for such task) but with the defaulted switching behavior .. every time i try to block ..im outta the game to the start page (tiles). I know i could avert this by re-configuring the action to a different button or key, but why not have it as is????
im not sure of these applications to be the only ones as its my first 8.1 use!
thanks.

I'm inclined to agree. At first I thought Toshiba had simply remapped the Middle Mouse Button to bring up the start menu for whatever reason, but from what I can tell the PC actually registers the MMB as the Left Windows Key! Why anyone would think this was a good design idea I have no idea. For me it's just frustrating....
Anyway, I've so far found 2 ways around this:
First; using any other mouse, the MMB functions normally. So you could plug a regular USB or wireless mouse in and presto! Problem solved.
+Of course this is FAR less than ideal. One of the reasons I bought an all in one was for the clean look with matching keyboard and mouse. I don't want to give up a USB port when it already comes with the peripherals built in.+
The second option (The one I'm currently using) is to use key remapping software. I've remapped the Left Window Key to act as the Middle Mouse Button. Now my mouse functions normally.
+The problem with this solution is that the Windows Key on the keyboard now also works like a MMB. I remapped the "drop down menu" key to act as the LWIN key to compensate, but this solution is also far from ideal.+
I think Toshiba should release a firmware (or software??) update that either fixes this issue properly, or at least gives users the option to use the MMB as a MMB.

Qosmio PX30t / PX35t - Changing middle button mode / behaviour

Hello.
I have recently purchased a new machine that is running Windows 8.
Clicking the middle mouse button opens the Start page.
I would like to change this so that the middle mouse button does other, more useful things.
I primarily need to be able to use the middle mouse button in a program call GIMP, where holding the middle mouse button down enables you to move around the image.
I use this for my occupation so it is very important to me to work out how I can change the way the button behaves.
Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

>I would like to change this so that the middle mouse button does other, more useful things.
If this is possible, you should be able to do that in

Feedback would be greatly appreciated

My Qosmio X870-14T heats up in 10 minutes

Hello.
I got Qosmio X870-14T. It heats up in 10 minute even i play most basic games and shuts down. CPU heat reaches 90 and it closes. I send it to warranty 3 times in 2 month. They update it and just send it back. Toshiba just dont care.
What can i do guys? I realy need to fix it. But in my country Toshiba support is horrible.
What can i do to fix it?

Hi
Generally the notebook would overheat because the internal parts produce too much warmness or the internal cooling modules dont run properly and cannot cool down the internal parts.
Why internal parts would produce too much warmness? Well, this can be possible if you would use graphic drivers which are not designed for mobile usage.
For example drivers from nVidia or ATI dont support GPU overheating protection. Such drivers allow the GPU to run with best performance (if necessary). This could lead to more heat dissipation and finally to overheating.
GPU drivers released on Toshiba pages are modified for notebook usage and support such kind of protection.
Why cooling fans cannot cool down the parts?
Mostly because of dust inside the notebook vents. It could be also possible that cooling vents and fans are clogged by dust and cannot rotate properly and air cannot circulate as it should. In such case the notebook should be cleaned.
Finally it could be possible that thermal grease which is placed between cooling module and CPU isnt good enough or dried out. This would also affect the CPU cooling and would lead to higher temperature.
So as you see there are many reasons why notebook could overheat.

Qosmio Q7390 - Miracast compatibility

Hi,
I have a Qosmio X875 - Q7390 laptop with windows 8.1 64-bit. In Devices, Project to a second screen is not appearing. Normally my computer should be compatible with Miracast. It is mentioned in dxdiag.exe (in copy at the end) that Miracast is not Supported by Graphics driver. So I have updated the drivers for my wireless card (Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230) and my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M graphics - v. Geforce 347.88). In the NVIDIA website, it is mentioned that the latest NVIDIA drivers are compatible with Miracast. I tried disabling the NVDIA card, unsuccessful. Then I uninstall and resinstall my graphics card, still the same. Could you please assist me on this matter?
Thanks in advance

Qosmio G30-194 What type of Vista (Home, Business or Ultimate)?

I have two Qosmio G30. One at work (G30-153) and one at home (G30-194). I use both for working and also to play movies, games, etc. At work I use a domain. Please advise me about what version of Vista is better to use. I prefer to have the same version in both places.

Hi Marius
On the Microsoft page you will find a difference between Vista Home, Business or Ultimate.
The ultimate is the highest version which includes all Vista applications. But this version cost about 550-600$
For me its a question of cost what version I will use

Upgraded Qosmio X500-10T to Win 8.1: Sound drivers for 5.1 over HDMI

Hello *brilliant* Toshiba community,
I have recently upgraded my Qosmio X500-10T from 64-bit Windows 7 to 64-bit Windows 8.1.
I have left Windows to download driver updates.
My setup: Qosmio (HDMI) => Yamaha AV receiver (HDMI) => Samsun LCD TV.
_The Problem:_ Playing a video file (in MPC-HC) with 5.1 sound only outputs 2 channel PCM.
Would it be better to install the Win 7 drivers from Toshiba even though they are older and for a different OS, or install windows 8.1 drivers from another Qosmio, or leave the Win 8.1 drivers found by Microsoft?
This driver issue is made more problematic as I don't actually know what the technical hardware components are in the machine so its not as though I can find a win 8 driver for them.
As always any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Buzz

Hi
From my knowledge the Win 7 drivers are totally different from Win 8.1 drivers and I doubt that Win 7 driver would work properly on Windows 8.1 system. However, you can test such Win 7 drivers too. But of course I would recommend you to use the Win 8.1 drivers released for other notebook series.
As Im not mistaken the Qosmio X500 needs 2 sound drivers: Conexant (chip CX20583-10Z) sound driver as well as the nVidia sound driver (for HDMI)

Can I add a second hard drive on Qosmio X500-12Q?

Hi,
i'd like to know if its possible to add a second hard drive to the X500-12Q ?
i suppose the space is available but i'd like to know if the connector is here & everything
so i could just open the enclosure and plug it in.
thanks

Hi jeandujardin,
I dont have Qosmio X500 but generally speaking its no problem to exchange the internal HDD with a SSD but I dont know if the model has 2 SATA connectors.
If you are not sure ask the salesman if its possible to install a second HDD or SSD.
SSDs are no problem because they have the same SATA interface as normal HDDs.

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 :)

Qosmio G20 Vista drivers? Not needed to install Windows Vista

Hello,
I am new at this forum. My name is Francisco and I live in Brazil. I own a Toshiba Qosmio g20_105 and it is running Windows Vista Ultimate EN RTM 6000 without problems.
To do this, you must perform a fresh install of Windows Vista. The drivers for network (Intel PRO100),for audio (Soundmax), for TV (Toshiba PCI Tuner), modem (toshiba modem), Alps pointing device are installed directly from microsoft. You must install Toshiba nvidia display driver, Toshiba Bluetooth (monitor and stack), Toshiba texas flash media driver, toshiba RAID (driver and utilities), toshiba remote control manager and ConfigFree for Windows Vista.
You must have the Toshiba RAID drivers to install from the windows Vista DVD. Otherway, Windows does not recognize Toshiba RAID 0 and RAID 1.
Below some pictures of my G20 Desktop screen:

http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen2.jpg
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen3.jpg
And here is an example of using deskscapes animated backgrounds with Windows Vista, called dreamscene.
It is in paused mode
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen4.jpg
To perform a fresh install of windows Vista:
Please, download the Toshiba RAID drivers from here:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/raid.rar
1. Copy the contents of this archive onto a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
2. Insert your Microsoft Windows Vista Edition Bootable DVD.
3. Power on your computer and press F12 to display the boot menu.
4. Choose the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
5. On the first setup screen, choose your language options then press "Next".
6. Press "Install Now".
7. Type in your Product Key then press "Next".
8. Accept the license terms by checking the box then press "Next".
9. When asked "What type of installation do you want", press "Custom (advanced)".
10. When asked "Where do you want to install Windows", make sure your media containing the Toshiba RAID drivers is connected to the computer, then click on "Load Driver".
11. Browse to the location you have copied the RAID drivers to then press "OK".
12. Setup will return to the previous screen, but it will show that you have selected the TOSHIBA RAID driver.
13. Make sure the TOSHIBA RAID driver is selected then press "Next".
14. Continue the installation of Windows Vista as normal.
Now you will need the Toshiba drivers for your Qosmio G20:
See the Device manager info:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiodrivers1.jpg
Drivers:
1. SD memory controller
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/SD_memory.rar
2. Bluetooth monitor and stack
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_mon.rar
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_stack.rar

How do I disable the Symantics TouchPad on my HP Envy 14t notebook?

I have tried to modify the sensitivity of the touchpad on my laptop, but it's still so touchy it's driving me crazy. The other issues I looked at here in the Community forum don't pertain to the machine or utilities I have.
I want to COMPLETELY DISABLE it and use a plug-in mouse. Where is the option to disable the touchpad?
I have uninstalled the Symantic TouchPad driver, but the touchpad still shows up as a device as "PS/2 Compatible Mouse." When I open its Mouse Properties dialog, on the Driver tab, the Disable button is grayed out.
How do I COMPELTELY DISABLE the touchpad and just use a plug-in mouse on the HP Envy 14t notebook?
This question was solved.

@kiltinshire,
Thanks for posting back.  As you may be aware there are multiple versions of HP notebooks, most control functions are found in the user guide.  If you can not find it there then you would have to go to how to disable hard ware in windows.  That is a microsoft topic.
You normally have 2 choices to physically shut it off.  First the touchpad has a little button in a corner depending on model.  Use a function key it will have a diagram of a square and a finger.  These methods have been used for years for turning your touchpad off. 
Next is just google how to turn off touchpad in windows 8.  Here is a couple links that you may find useful that I found using that search.
TouchPad and Keyboard
How to Enable and Disable Touch Pad on HP ENVY

Now if you are actually trying to find a way of permanently shutting off the touchpad so that it does not come on again you will have to dig into Windows help for that. If Windows sees the hardware at start up it will by default try and load the base driver for it and most likely turn it on when you reboot.
The only other way is to open up your notebook and disconnect the cable that goes from the touch pad to the motherboard so that does not happen.
I am hoping that helps.

64-bit RAID drivers problem on Qosmio F30 during WinXP installation

I am trying to install Windows XP 64-bit on my Qosmio F30-140, so I used Windows Vista 64-bit RAID drivers. The windows setup loaded the drivers successfully from USB-FDD, but after I choose C: partition to install the windows and the setup started I got the following message " Setup cannot copy the file: KR10N64.sys ".
Please advise .

download the driver again and try to put it on another clean formated floppy disk
put all the files on the root of the floppy disk
and try to reply to this message ;)
