Qosmio X300 14N - Nvidia Driver message: Driver are for 32bit Vista

Hi,
I bought a Qosmio X300 14N with SLI 9800GTS. When i'm trying to install the last driver Nvidia Notebook 179.48 NOTEBOOK(recommanded on toshiba site)
I have the message that the driver i'm installing are for 32 bit version not for 64bit but i'm using a 32 Bit Vista version.
With the driver that i'm currently using i have some problems on framerate wich is completaly strange; Sometimes it will be very fast and sometime very slow.
It's very disapointed to have this type of problem with this type a computer. My last laptop computer was a Dell and i'm beginning to regret it.
Is there anybody that could have an idea on this problem ?

Hello Gaudin,
I bought a Qosmio X300-157 and I've your same problems. When I try to update my Nvidia drivers, Vista doesn't allow me to finish the update because it say that my Windows version is not a 32 bit (while it is). I tryed several certified Nvidia drivers version from several sources but the result is always the same. I've also installed the new release of windows 7 (on a different partition) and when I update the driver I have the same problem again as in Vista. So I'm start to think that it's a Qosmio problem though it's unbelievable that a notebook like this payed more than 2000 euros can have this kind of problem.
I read that you solved the problem. Can you give me any suggestion? After the uninstalling of the driver how you can select the graphic card? Please help me because I'm going crazy!!!
Thx in advance.
Charly

Qosmio X300-14N - BSOD if I play games and can't update display driver

Hi every one,
I bought a Qosmio X300-14N last week in France.
But every time I try to play a game ---almost every game--- I got a nmlddmkm problem with a "video driver has stopped responding and has been recovered" message
I try to update my display driver, but any one I found on the Nv site cannot be installed. Even the link from the Toshiba support.
Then I thought this could be a temperature problem, I download a Nvidia system monitor and try to check the problem, but this made it even worse, every time I double clicked the monitor short cut leads me to a Blue Screen...
I am now completely mad with this computer. Hoping some one can help?
By the way Im using Vista 64
this is my system
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9000 @ 2.00GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.0GHz
Memory: 4gb ram
graohic card:2*geforce9800m gts 512mb

If you haven't done so search Google, Yahoo, etc- the exact error message your seeing. This problem isn't unique to Toshiba, but more so seems to be an issue directly with Nvidia. I have tried all the canned responses, download this, update that and patch everything I could find. Still, the issue still exisits. After about 9mths of off and on problems, at the advice of Toshiba I dropped it off at the local certified repair center. They worked on the thing for 3-4wks and were unable to repair. They went as far as to replace the video card, and mainboard.
After receiveing my un-fixed Qosmio from the repair center I called Toshiba- they informed me that I would have to send it directly to them as to be evaluated by one of there engineers. Basically the answer at this point is don't waste your time on it- ship it directly to them.

Re: Newest display driver for hibryd sli on Qosmio X300-14N

Hi all, sorry for my english but i'm french. :)
Ok, i have a Qosmio x300-14n, with an hibryd sli (9400M G + 2 x 9800M GTS).
The lastest driver on toshiba website are the 186...
Nvidia too...
But for recent game, sli is not reconized and it's very not cool for gaming laptop.
When the other drivers are going to go out?
Thks and sorry again for my english.

Hi,
You could install the generic Notebook Driver from the nVidia website, but its not recommenced since the generic driver could cause problems such as overheating.
I don't know if Toshiba will release newer drivers for the X300, I guess you could try the nVidia driver for a later model such as the X500.

Qosmio X300-14N - Vista 64bit recognize only 1789MB of RAM

Hello,
I need some help with my Qosmio x300-14N.
I'm using a vista 64 bit system and the OS only see 1789MB of ram.
I have 2x2gb memory module.
Please give me a solution!

Hi
How did you check this in Vista?
How much RAM is recognized in BIOS?
The notebook was equipped with 2 x 2GB RAM and therefore the hardware should be 4GB RAM capable.
The software (Vista 64bit) should recognize the full memory since 64bit OS has no 32bit limitation which would recognize only 3.2GB
In my opinion there could be something wrong with one of the RAM module this would explain why only one memory module has been recognized.

Qosmio X300-14N - Is there a way to have the latest display driver?

Hello,
Since the begging this computer has been very sensitive with video drivers, the use of SLI technology implies the use of the last Nvidia driver but our computer has never been officially added to Nvidia laptop releases. More generally, with some video games, I have big performances issues (for example Starcraft II), very high temperatures and sometimes artefacts.
Is there a way to have the latest officials drivers (without having to modify by hand .INF file) and what about temperatures issue ?
Thanks.

Arzul-there is a way to use the latest Nvidia verde notebook driver without you having to modify the inf. yourself.
I posted the full method in the gaming forum under 'Toshiba display drivers and what they dont want you to know'-just follow that but use the latest Nvidia notebook driver and matching modified inf. from Laptopvideo2go instead of the driver i mentioned as i posted that sometime ago.
I have an x300-13w with the hybrid sli set up and i'm using the 258.96 driver with the pre-modified inf. from Laptopvideo2go with no issues-i have the nvidia SLI profile running for Starcraft 2 and its runs great!
However i did purchase a Zelmann laptop cooler to help during the summer and even though my GPU temp gets to 80-90c this is no hotter than when i was using Toshibas outdated driver-i do also regularly use compressed air can on the vents.All this has helped me to have good stable gaming on all the latest games.
I do share your frustration at the fact that our laptop is not included officially in nvidia drivers even though it has a Nvidia chipset not an Intel one-but its all to do with cold,hard business-Toshiba do not want to pay Nvidia to have our 'old' laptop supported in driver releases.
One thing that you should do if you update your display driver-also update to the latest BIOS from Toshiba-this corrected a bug which had prevented screen brightness control from working with gpus in SLI with recent drivers.
You will lose the laptops ability to auto switch to the motherboard gpu when on battery as well as this is a function only built into Toshiba display drivers-but you can do this manually yourself in needs be.
One disappointing thing i noticed with the release notes for the latest Nvidia driver-it states that 258.96 will be the LAST one to support hybrid SLI-i dont know if this means we wont be able to use later drivers even with modded inf.
Anyhow.. good luck and happy gaming!

Qosmio X300 - new nvidia graphic drivers are uninstallable: no nvidia chip

hello,
i have the qosmio X300-14P with windows 7..
i play actual games (f.e. skyrim) which need the LATEST video driver!
the x300 is said to have a nvidia geforce 9800M GTX video chip.
however, when i download the latest driver (295.73 today), at installation it says :
no nvidia hardware detected - unable to install !
=====================================
this is so with all nvidia drivers in the last 2 years (with windows 7 and windows vista alike) !
what is the problem ?
did toshiba not include an nvidia chip, but a cheap chinese noname chip, or what is the problem here ?
whatever notebook i had before the toshiba, it would accept actual nvidia drivers.
only the toshiba qosmio x300 doesnt.
why ?
it is vital that i install the latest drivers, how can i get by this problem ?
the driver that toshiba offers for the qosmio x300 is almoust 3 years old (2009, now it is 2012!) -
this is ridiculous!
an actual video/graphics driver is urgently needed, it is vital that the nvidia drivers work.
i ask toshiba :
HOW can i get the latest nvidia driver to work in the qosmio x300-14P ?
which is said to have a geforce 9800M GTX nvidia chip (though nvidia driver says : it does'nt).
how can i get the latest `nvidia drive (295.73)r to work ?
thank you
q.

thanks for the answers to all, especially blob.
yes i am a gamer and therefore i need always the very latest graphics driver.
(yes, skyrim runs, but not with highest settings of course).
but i am about to buy a new notebook soon anyway.
this branding is a problem i came across earlier with the toshiba ram already.
that's the reason why this time i dont buy a new toshiba notebook anymore,
i will switch to lenovo.
i thought about the qosmio x770, as it has some nice features.
but they removed firewire etc., well ok, i could maybe live with that,
BUT i CANNOT live without an express card slot !
the xpress card slot is vital, as only there you can expand your notebook.
missing firewire could be corrected by a firewire express card, i always
use e-sata hdd connections, so i have an express card with 2 esata ports
(to have faster hdd writings). one internal esata port (even a combo port esata/usb2)
is just not eno8gh for me, i have usually connected 2 or 3 external drives.
as well i quite often use my express tv + video card.
that a notebook at this price has no express card slot is unbelievable !
this is a knockout feature for me.
i can swallow a lot, but not a missing express card slot, as this is the only feature
that makes it possible to expand a laptop (with a e-sata card, with a tv card, f.e.).
and so i could switch my tvc card and my esata card and whatever else i need
or might need later.
i might have purchased the x770 had it an express card slot, but without
it is so ridiculous that i would never buy it, no matter how good the other features are.
an express card slot is VITAL for every notebook.
that someone could spare it it like selling a rain jacket without a zip.
too bad, because else the x770 is not so bad.
i wonder what made them cut the express card out in a notebook
(that is not expand-friendly anyway).
i saw that some others companies did it as well.
this will not be a fortune, as i foresee that many people will, if not at once, then later
hate the missing express card slot.
it was about time that they put good graphic cards in notebooks (while once they are branded,
they are a hassle, good or not), and now they start cutting the vital express card slot.
unexpandable is the first that comes to my mind when i think about the x770.
the product designers at toshiba seem not to be very good.
branding, missing express card slots - what else may we have to expect in the future ?
i was about time to switch.

Qosmio X300-13W GPU Driver PROBLEMS

Hi all,
I'v just brought my new "Qosmio X300-13W" and the Tempro Alerts say that I need to update my GPU drivers.
I go to the link provided by Toshiba that directs me to Nvidea driver downloads. The driver is "179.28_notebook_winvista_32bit_beta" yet when I try and instal the driver I am told-
(The Nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatable with your current hardware. Setup will now exit).
I have even tried Uninstalling the drivers first before updating and still no Success, BIOS has also been updated.
Is it possible the GPU firmware needs to be updated ??
I'm not a NOOB with PCs and build and repair on a professional level but am still stuck.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP

> " and the Tempro Alerts say that I need to update my GPU drivers.
You misunderstood something.
The Tempro doesnt say you have to update the driver but it has notified you that a new version has been uploaded to the driver page!
But this does not mean that you have to update it!!!
Furthermore I visited the Toshiba European driver page and have chosen this driver posted in the Qosmio X300 PQX31E and found this info:
+You are leaving the Toshiba Website to get the generic beta driver from nVidia.+
+This driver has not been officially approved by Toshiba and is out of Toshiba warranty.+
If you want to install such driver then you can do this only at your own risk and you could install it in device manger;
There you have to choose advanced installation and finally have to point to the place where the driver has been stored on the HDD

Nvidia Driver Update for MSi Gt 683

Hello Fellows;
I own a MSi GT683-244R notebook.
I received a Beta key for testing the game Battlefield 3 but when I try to start the game they said that the Nvidia Driver is a old version and I need the latest one. I went to Nvidia web page to try to update my driver and I saw that my notebook from MSI is not supported, I need to download from MSI Website. On MSI driver page (http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT683.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7%2064) the driver version is 268.12 and on Nvidia driver page (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us) the lastest certified is 280.26.
So, my question is... when MSI will launch the latest driver for our notebook???
GT is a gaming notebook series, so we need the latest driver, please MSI, update it for us.
Best Regards;
FaHeinen

Product Support
This driver supports the following NVIDIA notebook GPUs (please refer to the Products Supported tab for exceptions):
ION notebook GPUs.
GeForce 8M, 9M, 100M, 200M, 300M, 400M, and 500M-series notebook GPUs.
Quadro 5010M, 5000M, 4000M 3000M, 2000M and 1000M notebook GPUs.
Quadro NVS-series notebook GPUs (only those that support DirectX 10 or higher).
Quadro FX-series notebook GPUs (only those that support DirectX 10 or higher).
NVS-series notebook GPUs (only those that support DirectX 10 or higher).
And by the way I use them on my GT680 without a problem.
You cannot install any video drivers outside of the live update. Nvidia released a beta driver specifically for the Battlefield 3 beta that has been released. because its not available through the live update, you cannot install it on the MSI notebooks.

SOLVED - Qosmio Black Screen (Nvidia Driver Problem)

I have a Qosmio X505-860 with the NVidia 360M display adapter. I experienced the occasional "Display Adapter has stopped responding and recovered" screen flicker as well as the adapter turning off upon log off, switch user, close lid (even with sleep disabled) etc.
I installed the ancient drivers provided by Toshiba and lo and behold, no problems -- except games look like crap.
Through trial and error I discovered that straight NVidia drivers work up to Verde 260.99, the last of that generation of drivers. As soon as the driver is updated to the next gen, starting with 266.58, the problems reoccur.
Through a long process of plodding through log files, tracing processes and scanning dlls with disassembly software, which I will not discuss here for copyright reasons, I linked the crashing to the NVidia Control Panel App rather than the actual driver. I am not entirely sure on this as I was hurrying through things and employing a lot of guess-and-check. I know for the 266.58 driver, renaming System32/nvapi64.dll solves the problem, though doing so will also make your system wonky...
Anyway, what eventually solved it for me, I believe, was uninstalling the (266.58) driver via the Control Panel. The computer went into No-Driver-640x480 mode, rebooted, and came back up. I could only see about an eighth of my desktop, but that didn't last long as Windows prompted me to reboot again for "changes to take place." After the second reboot, the NVidia Control Panel worked and showed version 301.42 (latest at the time of writing), even though the driver was absent from the list of Programs and Features. So far I have been able to Switch User and Log Off and back on without any trouble. I haven't tested it much, but this problem was 100% reproducible before.
I hope this helps somebody. If it doesn't work, let me know, I will try harder to figure out what exactly in my afternoon of registry editing and file scrambling did the trick.

That's great troubleshooting! Thanks for sharing your findings.

Qosmio G55-Q804 WIFI driver doesn't work Vista 32bit Ultimate

I have Vista 32bit Ultimate and everything is loaded and working great EXCEPT my internal WIFI adapter which is an Intel unit.
I would like to know if anyone else has dealt with this issue on this laptop? Is there something I am missing?
Why wont the driver take?
I am an expert IT admin and have handled many pieces of hardware in my life so I am not at a lost to try different tricks and all of them have not worked. If anyone can teach an old dog a new trick to get this to load I would be most apprciative.
Thanks in advance
Coogrrr

Your model has the Intel WIFI Link 5100AGN with the latest drivers version official from Toshiba are 12.0.0.73 and from Intel 12.1.2.1. The WIFI gets autodected by Vista and will by default install the official drivers. If it doesnt do so it can be 1 of 3 things:
1 The miniPCI isn't properly pressed into its socket
2 Software conflict by 3 party install
3 The miniPCI is just plain dead

Qosmio X300-14X Nvidia 9800m gts SLI drivers.

Hi,
Can i find the drivers for my SLI somewhere? i've tried all the drivers i could find but without any luck.
When will Toshiba release the drivers for these models and also the software to support all the functions? (LIKE VAP) ?

Hi
> When will Toshiba release the drivers for these models and also the software to support all the functions? (LIKE VAP) ?
Then Win 7 drivers release process is in progress
I noticed the Toshiba released many Win 7 drivers for different notebook series
So Qosmio X drivers should be published in the next time as well. Hopefully ;)

Qosmios X300-156: Should I buy a cooler for the portable

Hi.
Well I'm freshman here in your site :)
I have a doubt about my portable. I have asked many people reviews, but none was able to convince.
I have a X300, and unfortnely he had a breakdown on the motherboard.
I'm from Portugal, anda they sad to me that in Portugal they don't have the motherboard,
I have to wait until she comes from germany. This is desperate because I'm there three weeks without the portable.
Makes me think if its worth buying a laptop so expensive. If it were a normal portable Surely it would have.
But my question is this. Should I buy a cooler for the portable since it has been down twice due to temperature?
Some people say that i don´t need it and some people say that i should buy. Does it hurt to have a cooler in the portable?
Well thats all. Thank you, and sorry my english =|
Regarts

Hi
Usually an additional cooler is not necessary and in most cases counterproductive.
In your case its important that the notebook has been placed on the table and that there is enough free space around the notebook to assign good air circulation.
Furthermore you should use the Toshiba graphic card driver because such driver supports and GPU overheating protection. Drivers from ATI page or nVidia page do not support such protection as this could lead to GPU damage.
Its also advisable to clean the cooling fans and grilles from time to time its could be helpful to remove the dust using the compressed air spray.

Print driver host for 32bit application has stopped

Hi.
I'm being asked to troubleshoot an issue with very limited access and I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.
Users are connecting to a WIndows 2008 R2 SP1 server using RDP. They are printing to HP Printers from within the RDP session. The Printers are installed onto the server as TCPIP printers. The error is a crash of SPLWOW64.EXE, and it references the file 'HPZUIWN7.DLL'.
The application they are printing from is 32-bit.
My biggest hurdle is the fact that I am expected to solve the problem, but have limited access to the environment and the people who have the required access are more interested in applying blame for the problem than fixing it (exacerbated by the fact that
if I am right in my diagnoses, they are the cause of the problem in the first place.)
I am of the opinion that the issue is 32/64-bit driver conflict related, but am a bit confused as to the recommended configuration for an environment like this. To summarize my question:
On a 64-bit OS that hosts multiple RDP Sessions (which could be from 32 or 64 bit workstations) that is used primarily for a 32-bit application, should we install the 32-bit print drivers, the 64-bit print drivers or both?
NOTE: I have some .DMP files related to the crash, but as of this stage I'd argue that the troubleshooting hasn't gotten to the point to justify trying to debug those yet.
Thanks for your time.
Dan

I'm not sure why the method is the name that it is. I'm pretty sure MS blocked 16bit app support on 64bit machines.
The failure in the HP UI module is in this method
INVALID_POINTER_READ_c0000005_HPZUIWN7.DLL!CHPCommon::VUpdateResolutionFor16BitApps
They are not checking the memory before using it and it's not a valid pointer and crashes the process.
I'll send this to one of the guys that works for HP but there is not a way for the HP code to get updated like we do with system components. The Office team has a report on this binary and method crashing office applications in 2012, but
it does not look like the issue was every handed off to HP, not that HP could address it then.
The FIRST thing I would do is change the resolution you have configured for the printer just to see if that initializes the data I assume the driver is looking for.
The next thing would be trying a different driver for the device. If you find a newer driver that uses HPZ6RWN7.DLL, it has the same defect.

Error "print driver host for 32bit applications has stopped working"

Got this error when trying to "print" a gmail message to a pdf file. After some research (trial and error) I found that in my case this message is due to the subject line of the message generating an invalid Windows file name. Using the subject line to generate the filename is how GMail decides to generate the file name. I guess this is as good a strategy as any. I cannot think of a better strategy for GMail (would not want that "feature" changed).
Solution: Forwarded message to myself with a subject line that does not generate an invalid Windows file name and then "printed" that forwarded message.
Software: Adobe Acrobat Pro. OS: Win 7 64-bit. Application: Chrome accessing GMail. But I conjecture that this error message is not dependent on the specific configuration I have. For example, I recall having a failure when trying to do "print" a GMail message under 32-bit vista though I do not recall the error message (was very likely different :-). In that case I copied the message into Word and moved on leaving it as a mystery.
Adobe solution (I suppose) is that Acrobat (distiller) needs to check the validity of the Windows file name and give back a rationale error message before passing to the OS.
Hope this helps somone out there.

I am having the exact same problem. I have Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and Design Premium CS 5.5. InDesign is the ONLY program that will not print to any printer. I get the "Printer selection failed." error every time I select any printer, even the Adobe PDF one. I have a Brother printer, an HP Plotter, and even an Oce copier/printer. InDesign gives the error no matter what printer is selected form its own list. Photoshop and Acrobat do not give me any issues, nor does any of the MS Office programs nor Autodesk softwares. It's only InDesign that fails. Reparing doesn't do anything and reinstalling every printer driver is pointless because it's only InDesign that produces the error.
Does anyone know what to do to fix this?
