And without the new drivers than the game will continue to run like .

You could try extracting the driver (7zip will do it) and then point the 'have disk' wizard point straight to the core graphics driver folder. If that works you can go into each of the remaining folders and install that component, 3d, physx etc.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, some manufacturers put a unique identifier in the driver's .inf file, that might be what's happening here. If that's the case, copying the .inf from the original driver package to the new, extracted driver folder might work. As always, YMMV

One guy said this on these forums. "I got the 285.38 64-bit drivers to install on my X775-3DV78. I uninstalled the existing Toshiba 268.85 drivers and deleted the Nvidia Corporation files in Program Files and Program files (86).It installed O.K. I am so far having no problems with 3D nor IE9. 10/16/2011" But yeah if you read everyones post you can clearly see everyone with the 3d version can't do

Just deleted all that..then it couldn't install the newest ones or the latest ones..So had to do a system restore

I've been thinking of buying a Qosmio X775-Q7384, but after reading of Toshiba's lack of driver support I just might forget it.

I just finished reading some of the Toshiba forums and it's really sad they do not support their gaming line up with updated drivers.

Awiggz20 - I wish I had something else to offer - best of luck to you.

I think the "lack of GPU driver support", may be universal with many of the "Big Name" manufacturers.

I do agree the drivers should work with the 3D x775 Qosmio. However, nvidia verde drivers seem to have no problems installing on NON-3D Qosmios.

Another solution maybe to contact nvidia support and let them know their verde drivers are coming back as non-compatible for your specific model. Might be of some use.



Good luck

For a thousand bucks, you can't go wrong with an X775 model. Seriously, there's no better deal out there for a non-refurb machine.

Very true on both counts - I guess what's eating me up is that nvidia's newest drivers installed on my G73 no problem. I don't like the thought of not being able to do that.

This is killing me - I have anX775-Q7384 and a G74SX side by side on Newegg as I type this and can't decide which. Got to pull the trigger on one of them this morning.

Both good machines. I have the Q7384 and you will have no problem updating Nvidia drivers on it. I have installed both WHQL and beta drivers with no issues. Hope your decision ends up being a good one!

Thanks for the verification.

A few more questions:

What is the WiFi card used in the laptop?

HWiNFO64 Download

Is there one or two mics and what is the MP for the webcam?

Also, has anyone tried overclocking the GTX 560M with MSI Afterburner?


PS. Try using MSI Kombustor to see if there's throttle with BIOS 1.60

The Atheros AR9002WB..so plan on switching to the Intel/BT if you want 5G.

Don't know about Kombustor but Furmark with throttle anything without 1.1 BIOS. Yes, mine will OC and I get 4 or 5 FPS more. But then the heat on our Single Pipe climbs so I don't OC ATM.

All the CPU pricing, I found, gets me close to finding the i7 versions on sale.

How much were you talking about..and where? I hate missing a deal!

You also get both drive conectors, $30, that you won't get on any single drive i5. It took me 8 days to find that second drive connector, Tosh support was worthless.

Thank you sir

I wound up going with the G74SX-NH71. 4Gb more ram and 19x10 for $30US more.

But if this acts anything like the G73 I had, the Q7384 is next choice.

Stability = priceless imho.
