Have anyone figured out how to fix Fn buttons, and Sleep problem. WinXP still works but it is very unsafe in 2019. Linux can be used, but it has same sleep problems. Have anyone tried Win8.1?

I got exactly the same computer as you have and everything worked fine but i dont get any sound in the speakers or through headset. Devicemanager says the sound driver is OK and it can play sounds but nothing comes from the speakers. Ive reinstalled windows 7 but still same problem. 🙁

I too have the F20 laptop. I installed windows 7 premium the day it was released. Most drivers were eventually found; but any of the speciality buttons at the top do not work. In addition, the special function keys. This is a problem since I use the laptop connected to a projector. I can not get the projector and screen to work together. Even though the nvidia control panel sees the projector and I have set the multiple screens settings to clone. On one projector I get both going black; and on another projector I get the projector on but the laptop screen black. I also have had a tv guide mapping problems. The channels match my satilite provider, but the programs within the guide are incorrect.

Hi there,

I have installed Win7 on a Qosmio F20 but I encounter a problem when the machine goes into sleep mode. Hibernation is fine but entering sleep mode results in the following error. When I attempt to put the system back on, I can hear the HDD working alright but the screen is blank and I see no image, that is, I cannot see the desktop at all. I have to shut down by pressing the blue on/off button and then to restart in order to enter win7. Any suggestions as what might be causing this and how I can put it right? Also none of the top quick buttons seem to work, that is, the brightness arrows and the rest. Thx for your input in advance.

Same problem of zolo:

“How about the on screen brightness control thingy? Does it work in windows 7 for your F20 Qosmio?

A friend of mine brought his F20 to reinstall the OS, I tried vista ultimate X86 and almost everything worked (I find the power saver, configfree, password whatever…ect= garbage so didn’t care much that they’re not avaliable in toshiba’s website) except the darn on screen brightness control!! So, I reverted back to xp mce.”

Any solution?

That really Windows 7 are ‘better’ OS – as quick as WinXP is, and as ‘nicely looking’ as Vista?
