TV tuner doesn't work on Vista - Qosmio G20-127

My TV tuner doesn't work on Qosmio G20-127. Or should I be more specific it is not recognised at all, Media Center says there is not tuner hardware. I don't even know where would I install the driver, even if I had it. The only unrecognized device in device menager is 'Multimedia Video Controller'.
Did anyone have this problem or maybe still does? What are my options? Besides going back to WIN XP MCE. :)

So, I managed to find G30 driver for the TV tuner and installed it to 'Multimedia Video Controler'. And it seems to work. I downloaded the driver from toshiba's official site[url href=http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?macId=&mode=allMachines&userOS=& action=search&selCategory=2&selFamily=381&selSerie s=171&selProduct=627&selOS=26&selType=218&country= 52&language=13&search=]here[/url].

  • Qosmio G20-127: Screen blackout after closing the lid on Vista

    Hi,
    I have Qosmio G20-127 and I've recently installed Vista Ultimate Edition (32-bit). I managed to bring everything to its place (except the magic buttons, but the drivers are not out yet), but I have a problem that is seriously making me reconsider going back to XP MCE.
    When I close the lid of my computer the display naturally goes off, but when I open it up again it does not turn on, but it stays black. And I can't make it turn on again no matter what. I have to turn off the entire computer and that is quite impractical.
    Funny thing is that after restart for about 20-30 minutes I can open and close the lid normally, but after a little longer work on the computer the same problem occurs.
    The problem persists even after I turned off every action remotely connected to closing the lid.
    Does anyone have any solution?

    Hi J,
    thanks for your help but my BIOS update won't install. I get the message "[Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed."
    About the powersaver, I didn't install additional powersaver program as I was told it would conflict with Vista's Mobility Center (FranciscoJr's Guide to installing Vista), but all the options regarding closing lid are turned off (Do nothing option).
    There are two more new things I observed and might be indicative of the problem, but I don't know what to make of it.
    1. When I close the lid I hear 'disconnected device sound'
    2. And the screen sometimes comes back if the s-video cable (leading to my tv) is plugged out (usually it was always in coz I use Q20 as a media center as well)
    Of course that made me think that it might be a problem in Graphic Card, but I've installed the most recent driver.
    So now I'm pretty much clueless as what to do.

  • Widcomm 5.0.1.1200 drivers on Qosmio G20-127

    Is there any possibility to install Widcomm Bluetooth software drivers on Qosmio G20-127? I want to use them instead of Toshiba and Microsoft Bluetooth stacks. I have modified btwusb.inf file in Widcomm 5.0.1.1200 with my own PID and VID (taken from Toshiba inf file) but I am unable to install the drivers yet.

    I looked into it, You can force windows to use the widcomm drivers, But there is a chance you will completley muck everything up. I read on a forum that a system restore wouldnt fix the toshiba bluetooth after trying the drivers.
    I found a site where they are discuss the problems in more detail.
    Where they keep updated on the current drivers
    http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=563654
    and where they tell you about bugs that may occur when installing.

    my bluetooth works perfect, so im not about to try anything, but good luck..

  • Qosmio G20-127: How to upgrade the GPU

    Hi,
    I want to change the video card of my Qosmio G20 - 127 with better one. Can someone tell me, is this possible and what better video card can i use.

    Hi

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard doesn't work in Vista Ultmate?

    My Apple Wireless Keyboard doesn't work (not response) on Vista Ultmate but its works properly in Mac OS X 10.5.2...
    Should I install the driver in Mac OS first or update the keyboard firmware?
    Or install a driver for Windows Vista (I can't find any on web...)
    Please kindly help! Thanks a lot.

    this problem is fixed, but if anybody has an idea what happened, I would like to know.

  • Drag and drop from Mozilla to PS doesn't work with Vista

    On XP I can drag an image directly from Mozilla to Photoshop and it opens it in a new document. In Vista that doesn't work anymore.
    Any ideas if this can be fixed

    > Straight drag and drop to PS produced a warning message so, when I then tried to drag on to the PS task bar button, I got the Ø cursor but on moving into the PS window and releasing the mouse button there, the file opened.
    That's the strangest behavior that I would imagine. Are you using the default vista aero theme or you have turned down or using custom theme and visual effects?
    > it needs to be pointed out that this is a really bad habit that will smack you in the face one day...
    I don't understand what you mean. If you are concerned about viruses, in my understanding copying and opening a file from the internet which is what "Save image as" does, is less safe than coping and pasting pixels. Copying and pasting pixels is the same as coping and pasting text from your web browser, it can't execute hidden code. If that was possible everybody will get viruses at the moment text or pixels are displayed on your browser.
    By the way when you view a page from the internet, image files are already downloaded in the temp folder of your computer but only the browser uses them unless you open them from there and use in another program. So if you have a virus protection the images are already scanned.

  • Touch screen doesn't work after Vista Home64-bit upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium on IQ506

    Hello, right before I upgraded to Win7, I made sure that the Touchsmart software worked and that the touch screen itself worked. As soon as I performed the upgrade (not the clean upgrade that wipes all your existing data, but rather the upgrade that carries over your applications and files), the touch screen ceased to work. 
    I didn't panic, thinking that I probably had to run some windows/hp updates, which I did to no avail. I also manually updated ALL the driver/software files found at this link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=4063&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us〈=en&product=3752245
    Yup, every single one. As a last resort, I tried some of the HP troubleshooting for touch screens not working. It said to shut down the computer, pull the plug on the computer, hold the power button for 5 seconds, plug the computer back in, and boot it up again. Didn't help at all.
    I'm at the end of my rope and there is no additional HP support on this. I'm waiting for a reliable driver update for win7 for this **bleep** touch screen. I'm dead in the water -- I've got a touchscreen computer whose touchscreen doesn't work! Someone else out there must be having this problem! Any leads?

    Did you try installing the Touch Driver?

  • Apply in tunes doesn't work in sync to iPad

    After finally having my new iPad recognised in iTunes devices,
    After selecting the music I wish to sync etc.  the APPLY button does not offer the choice to select (sync)
    I have re installed, tried another time, backed up to iCloud, tried back up to windows,
    Tried sync wifi ( which also doesn't work , and also tried ticking to do manually which also doesn't work,
    I'm sure it's a simple fix but I'm out of ideas.... Please help!

    Did you try highlighting the music in your library and dragging/dropping on the recognized itunes device on the side?

  • ITunes 7.4.3 doesn't work on Vista

    I've been battling with this problem for about a week now, and I've been looking everywhere for an answer to this, but I've found none.
    I upgraded iTunes from 7.4.2 to 7.4.3 last week, and restarted my computer when prompted. I tried opening it up...and it didn't work. Vista gave me the message that "iTunes has stopped working." Within the week, the only progress I made was plugging in my iPod to charge it (at which point, the same message popped up, but the error must've been slightly different because it let me send in an error report), and downloading Songbird so I could actually listen to my songs.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I don't want to completely delete iTunes, but if worse comes to worse, I will
    Thanks in advance!

    My iTunes hasn't been working since July/August when Apple upgraded iTunes. I am able to open up iTunes but it freezes as soon as it is open. The only thing I know is you should install it by right-click and choose "run as administrator". Disable all the Internet security, anti-virus, and firewall software when you download or install.
    I haven't found any solution yet.

  • Jar command jar -uf doesn't work on Vista

    I try to use the jar command jar -uf to add information from a JAR into another. This works fine on XP, but not on Vista.
    I use the same commands and the same files on Vista and XP, but I get this error message on Vista:

    Why does this happen? How can I make the jar command jar -uf work on Vista?

    I don't use Vista however it could be related to a [Vista file permission problem|http://paulstamatiou.com/2007/02/09/how-to-quickie-vista-permissions].

  • Equium A100-060 touchpad doesn't work with Vista SP1

    Hi, my touchpad doesen't work in Vista with SP1. If i use Vista or any other operating systems the touchpad works without any problem.
    The driver installed on Vista Sp1 is the last available.
    How can I solve this?

    Hi!
    Did you disable the touchpad with FN keys?
    On my Satellite L300 its FN+F9
    Do you have yellow marks in the device manager?
    Did connect an external mouse and does it works?
    Bye

  • USB connection doesn't work on Vista?

    Hi all,
    I have a problem that PC Suite just doesn't see the phone via USB under Windows Vista, but it worked just fine under XP. The only difference I see is that PC Suite installed along some "cable drivers" for XP, but for Vista.
    I've seen some people complaining about problems under Vista about a year ago, but that was supposedly fixed in new PC Suite versions. Has anyone heard anything about connectivity problems under Vista?
    I tried the latest PC Suite version, 6.85.12.0,
    my phone is E70, Windows Vista Home Basic

    When I connect the camcorder usb to my desktop pc (using different USB drive connections), my computer does not seem to recognize any of the connections. When I use another usb memory card to the same usb connections, the computer does recognize the drive. There have been a few times when the camcorder has recognized the camcorder connection (most recently about June 12) - but it does not at thie time. If I take the extra 16gb memory card from the camcorder and connect it to the memory card connection, the computer has always recognized it. My problem is trying to get the video from the camcorders internal memory through the USB connection.I expect if/when I can get these files loaded, I intend to no longer use the camcorder's internal memory, and insted always use the extra memory card. Pierre I realize that If I could have the laptop recognize the usb connection, I could manually copy the video files myself, although I believe PMH would also have worked in this case.

  • The old "ipod nano" doesn't work on Vista query

    I've had my new PC with Vista installed for all of 6 hours now and in that time I've discovered that, yup you guessed it, my little ipod nano that worked perfectly on the XP system I had before isn't detected by the new Vista operating system.
    A couple of hours of browsing the web and these forums has shown me I am not alone, but in all that searching the best solution offered from interested parties seems to be to reinstall Itunes (done that) or roll back to XP and forget all about Vista.
    Now if Microsoft and Apple have screwed up somehow with the drivers required to make Vista, Itunes and the Ipod nano talk to each other I can understand that. But what is this conspiracy of silence all about? I can find nothing official on either of the companies websites even acknowledging there is a problem. Instead I only find 'lonely' threads (about half a dozen in this forum alone) awaiting an easy answer to a pretty serious issue, an answer that doesn't look very forthcoming anytime soon.
    It's a pity since I was just getting into the whole Itunes/Ipod thing, guess I will have to await Itunes 9 or some Vista patch in the future, but then again so far as Apple and Microsoft are concerned... there's no issue to worry about.
    Cheers

    If a restore of the nano in iTunes fails to correct the issue, it's hardware related meaning you'll want or need to have the iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party service center.

  • Re: Satellite L300D-13S - WLan doesn't work using Vista

    I have a L300D-13S which came with Visa Home Premium on it.
    Its working fine APART from the wireless which refuses to work.
    I always get "Wireless association failed because Windows did not receive any response from the wireless router or access point"
    The wiresless is a Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802.11b/g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter
    I'm running the latest BIOS and the 6.1148.924.2008 Drivers dated 24/09/2008. If I use the latest drivers from the RealTek site I get a message about an unknown error.
    If I use the Ethernet NIC then it gets an IP address fine so its not the Broadcast Flag Issue.
    Its not wireless security (I understand Vista does not support 128Bit WEP). I've turned it off and it still does it.
    Other Laptops running XP connect fine and this laptop connects fine using no security or WEP or WAP if I boot into Linux.
    So the problem obviously lies with Vista and/or the Drivers.
    Has anyone solved this.
    And no - Do not tell me to go out and buy a "Vista compatible" Router.
    If Vista Does not work with a router that XP and Other operating systems work with then Vista is flawed.

    It only occurs with the WLAN. If I plug into the back of the router with a cable then everything is totally solid. I get DHCP from the router and everything is fine. It is only the wireless that does it.
    Oddly enough it used to work. When I first powered the machine on it saw the network and connected and everything was fine until I rebooted when it decided not to work any more. I thought it was something I had done so as I'd not really done much with the machine I did a recovery on it and again it worked again fine (I downloaded a few 100MB of downloads). Then rebooted and the wireless was broken again which is why I think its Vista and not my router.
    Its not even making it through to the router to get an IP address on the wireless - it never even sees it.
