VMware error on Qosmio x500-110 and Win 7 64bit

I am having problems running Vmware player on this notebook. It allways gives this error:
Operation on file "D:\VM\WinXP - VS 2008 - Blanco\XPSP3VMwTEMP-s003.vmdk" failed.
If the file resides on a remote file system, please make sure your network connection and the server where this disk resides are functioning properly. If the file resides on removable media, reattach the media.
Choose Retry to attempt the operation again.
Choose Abort to terminate this session.
Choose Continue to forward the error to the guest operating system.
D is local, secondary drive, not remote one. I have trying same with C primary drive, and allways getting this error. I have tried:
Vmware Player 3.0, 3.1
Vmware player 2.5.3
Vmware workstation 7.01
on original BIOS versions, then on 1.9, and latest 2.2...
I am running Windows 7 Enterprise N, 64 bit. Everything is updated, I don't have any issues or problems except this. It is not occasional error, it is rule! Every time i start any version of vmware i get this error. Vmware support told me to try several BIOS versions to see if there is problems with motherboard but I did that and no luck. I have tried all of their products and got exactly the same behavior. I have tried all combination of vmware player options and got allways same error...
Please can someone confirm that VmWare Player or Workstation is working on their laptop? Am I missing something? Virtualization is enabled in BIOS. I don't have idea what is going on... Vmware image is working flawlessly in other notebooks (HP 8510w, Toshiba Tecra2, Dell Latitude etc..), and on all tried desktops/servers. Definitely it has something to do with this notebook.

> mware support told me to try several BIOS versions to see if there is problems with motherboard but I did that and no luck
Thats nonsense you cannot try different BIOS versions because there is only one version (at this time BIOS v2.20)
> Please can someone confirm that VmWare Player or Workstation is working on their laptop? Am I missing something? Virtualization is enabled in BIOS. I don't have idea what is going on.
Why should not run the software on this notebook??
The notebook supports this CPU:
http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=43122&processor=i7-720QM&spec-codes=SLBLY
The VT technology is supported by CPU and BIOS.
So it should not be a problem with the hardware
I think its software issue maybe the Win 7 64bit version makes some troubles with the Win XP 32bit OS which you try to run via VM.
At the other hand the error says something about network connection and the server and disk resides
The notebook supports 2 HDDs and SATA drivers are needed in order to recognize the HDD. Maybe this is the issue what do you think???

Qosmio X500-110 - Webcam failed to initialize

Hi
I have a Qosmio x500-110. Bought brand new out of the box and I havnt changed nothing.
It displays this error message after startup "webcamera failed to initialize...restart application or computer" and the webcam stops working. Also when this happens the finger print reader and bluetooth devices also stop working. The finger print say "failed to connect to sensor". As soon as you restart the computer it works fine. Then again it may go anytime.
I dont know wat is causing this prblem. I have downloaded and reinstalled the drivers also (Windows 7 64bit) and the softwares for the same but dosnt help.

Hi
So you have already reinstalled the webcam driver and still running preinstalled OS without any 3rd party applications and this error occurs?
Well, I think in this case your only chance is the authorized service provider. The technicians should check your notebook, maybe its a hardware problem or something else. Just contact the guys and explain the situation. They will help you as best as possible.
Good luck! :)

Qosmio X500-110 - Slow start up

hi,
I bought new Qosmio X500-110 two weeks ago. In third day, I realized that HDDs are too slow. After tnb computer changed this one. Second Qosmio is too slow. Especially start-up time is average 10 minutes. Also right speaker was scratchy. at the moment, it is in technical service again and again it may be changed.
BIOS is 1.40
Don't work sleep mode. This problem is general. everbody says this problem.
HOW MUCH IS START-UP TIME ON YOUR QOSMIO X500's???

Hi
Its not tricky to reduce the start up time from Windows:
-Defragment your HDDs
-Uninstall all programs that you dont need
-Run CCleaner to clean Windows registry
-Disable all startup programs that you dont need in msconfig
-etc.
If you search with Google and here in forum you will find enough threads where you can find solutions for this.

Hi
Qosmio X500 is not very old notebook model.
Usually the warranty should be valid. Is the warranty valid?
If yes, get in contact with the Toshiba ASP (service provider) in your country.
The guys should replace the drive if its faulty.
PS: In user manual you can find a list of compatible ODD drives
- *Panasonic BD-R/RE UJ240*
- Hitachi DVD Super Multi GT20N/GT20F
- Toshiba Samsung DVD Super Multi TS-L633C/TS-L633Y
- Etc
Unfortunately there is only on Blue-ray drive listed as compatible part.

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)

Qosmio X500-110

I own a X500-110 model. I payed a lot for this one, and it slowly starts to annoy me.
My microphone, camera and bluetooth simply don't work for about a month and a half.
Please advise
I have one of the newest Satellite models, and it runs as a beast (i payed a lot less for it)

Difference between Qosmio X500-13P and X500-148?

I'm considering buying a Qosmio X500 and I've noticed that the only 2 models listed on this site are the 148 and 149. Currys, Dixons, PC World etc are all selling a X500-13P model which seems to be very similar to the 148? What's the difference between these models? The 13P is about 500 cheaper so I'm wondering what the 148 model has that makes it so much more expensive?
Nic

heh
I honestly wish I could but sadly this is a near year od issue.
R780 march last year overheating badly withing 4 month.
Swapped for a HP DV7 overheating within 4 month
Swapped in Nov for a Envy overheating within 2 weeks exchanged for same model as told I must take a direct store replacment not a online model 6 weeks later took the George Foreman grill back with it toasting at what I have found tonight to be well over 110C (seems thats the sensor max)
On the last return I was given a new receipt as if it was a fresh sale so a new 12 month warranty.
Can't get my money back as used and outside of 30 days so they where saying store swap again problem is the in store stuff is your bog standard consumer stuff so they agreed to allow a swap for a online model so stuck waiting till they get somehting suitable online Asus G73 or Qosi.
Spoke to Toshiba yesterday and they expect the -150 to be online with toshiba direct Uk by the end of this week so its a case of when pcworld will get them.
Situation is getting worse as I actually burned my arm on the bloody thing today unfortunately my job dictates I have to be in game (community rep on a MMORPG) have dropped graphics to minimum resolution and settings but still going obscenely hot if I havent got a resolution by the end of the week then I think I'll have to return it on H&S grounds then work round at a mates house until PCW actually get a suitable model online.

Qosmio X500 - NEW BIOS update - 1.90

Found a new BIOS update 1.9 on the Australian Toshiba Website. This morning it was showing version 1.40, but now it says version 1.90. I will try it on my X500 when I get home tonight, see if it fixes the Sleep-wake up issue.

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.

Poor wireless performance on Qosmio X500-134

I just bought a Toshiba Qosmio x500-134 and there's one thing that bothers me. The wireless conection is very poor.
Ii can say I am very disapointed with that. I had a x205-sli1 model before and the wireless connection was top.
Why in x500 is it so poor?

there are no special wlan settings.i'm using a home network,belkin N+ router,the signal showed is maxximum but runing a ping test there are alot of lost packages(time out).keeping another laptop in same spot to see if there is a diffrence on another machine,no problems on the other one.thats why i'm saying there is a poor wireless conectivity,maybe the wireless card is ok then must be the receiver on it very poor.

My new Qosmio X500 has a power on problem

My laptop Qosmio X500 has a problem. When i want to power on nothing happens and I should remove the battery and replace it till my laptop begins to work.
BIOS of my laptop is the new one so, i don't need to update it.
The battery is full charged too.
Can someone tell me what should I do?
I bought it only for 1 week.
It seems i should send it back.
Please someone gives me advice

I am having this problem for the past couple of days were my system locks up and freezes.
I have to removeed power cable and battery to restart, its a Qosmio X500-134 and it randomly just happens but round the same time each time 19.00 but some times at different times jsut depends how long i have been on the computer for.
Its a registry, driver or definetly hardware problem that is causing it i have narrowed it down to.
I have the latest drivers and bios so theres an issue somewere :(
I'm dissapointed due to the laptop not being very old only a few weeks.

Need new Lap Top Qosmio X500-02M

Hi all, new to this forum so looking forward to reading some of your expert advise. Time to upgrade my laptop......again, I am looking at the X500 02M. I want the best fastest lap top I can get my hands on for what I do... is this it??
*I will be using it for the following*:
High speed internet use, must be very quick at opening numerous pages and letting me scan between all open web sites with a quick refresh time.
Forum discussions, I talk on quite a few forums and they do take a while to refresh when I am on 3-4 at a time, must be quick here.
Photography and photoshop, I will have the Adobe Lightroom 3 (when it's realesed) downloaded on the laptop. I will also have a 500GB external hard drive with photos on it that. I will be importing from the external hd to photoshop. I don't want to be waiting all day to import and work on photos.
I will also be watching DVD's including Blue Ray and I know the X500 02M supports this function.
I realise this laptop is predominately for gamers but will it also fulfil my needs, I am not a gamer so if there is anything else out there that will do the same job in Toshiba please let me know. I am very keen on this model though and I have done a fair bit of research.
I will also be getting the Gaming Backpack and a few other odds and ends. Please recommend any additional extras you think would come in handy.
Cheers, look forward to the responses..

I presume all Qosmios x500 are preinstalled with 64bit operating systems only.
Every Toshiba notebook is delivered with preinstalled recovery image. This recovery image contains operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba specific tools and utilities and also some additional applications.
Some of them you don't need and it can be removed from the system. Many Toshiba tools and utilities start with OS but some of them you don't need at all and they can also be removed from the system or disabled in MSCONFIG > Startup. Just optimize preinstalled operating system and make it faster. So you will be able to swath very fast between all applications you use.
One more thing: you can also configure power settings, CPU performance, cooling method and so on. With right settings you can have optimal hardware performance and pretty quiet notebook.
Mann, there is so much you can do with it. Anyway, X500 looks great. Friend of mine has one and he uses it for gaming. It is really great piece of hardware.

Qosmio X500-11G - How to recover the BIOS?

I have a Qosmio X500-11G and I am thinking of updating the BIOS, the current version is 2.0 and the last one is 2.80. But because of previous heartattacking experiences, I would like first to ensure a way to recover the BIOS in case of a faulse flashing, before proceding.
So, my question is, if the flash of the new BIOS goes wrong, is there any way to recover the old one?
Thanks in advance.

Well. I encounter some problems with the Qosmio's fanctionability which I have nothing else to do to solve it.
To explain what is going on:
First of all when I am not using the computer but it is powered on, some times I get a blue screen.
Second, under the same condition, I am losing the USB ports (they just switch off).
I have tried to uninstall any program or driver that is implicated with the USB ports, I have tried to use or to let the computer on without any USB device connected on it, I have uninstall and reinstall all the drivers, I have removed competely and freshly install the Windows (WIndows 7 Ultimate 64 ORIGINAL), I have checked for viruses, HDD problems, registry problems, temperature problems.... but the problem still remains.
I assume it is not OS or some program mulfanction cause I may get a blue screen or the USB ports to get powered down even on a freshly installed windows without any program on, or even drivers.
I am sure that it is not some power saving plan problem because the only I use is the screen to be turned off (not the HDD).
So I thought to give a last shot with the BIOS update before I contact any TOSHIBA service.
Anyway, sorry for my long talking and If anybody have any ideas (even crazy) about the problems I face, I would mostly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
