Satellite P300-19P: Media Control buttons need to be pressed many times

Question

Hi all, I'm a newbie to this forum, but I do love my Toshiba products!
I recently got a P300 19P and the touch sensitive media buttons at the top (mute, open media player, play/pause, stop, previous, next) buttons DO work, but only when i tap them something like 20 to 30 times repeatedly. Sometimes they work in just 5 or 6 taps, sometimes, it takes more like 50. What is going on here?
I would have thought it was something to do with windows media player having a lot of songs (only about a thousand to be honest), but that wouldn't explain the mute buttong being irresponsive.
(Windows Vista 32 bit home premium)
The LEDs all work fine though.... :-(

Answer 1

I will do that just now. Although at first, the first button on the far left was for muting the sound.
When the buttons were fully functional when I first bought it, it was a mute button. It has suddenly changed its function now. Is there any way of configuring the function of those buttons?
And I do touch them gently.
I just went into C:\Toshiba\Drivers\ValueAddedPackage and opened a file called ButtonSetting. I found this. (Note, I have not edited the text at all, and will not do so either unless advised otherwise).
