Equium P300 - Control buttons don't work running Win XP

Hi I am looking for some help with a problem with a Equium P300 laptop,
This is my brother's laptop, he bought it about 18 months ago, it came with Vista, he didn't want this as he preferred to have XP so I changed the operating software to XP using the drivers available on Toshiba's website to update to the correct drivers.
This has worked fine for the last 18 months however recently when the laptop is turned off, the touch sensitive hotkeys stay illuminated, even when unplugged from the power source, and do not function.
Previously if it has been turned off and you push one of the hotkeys the laptop would turn on but it is no longer doing this.
I am wondering if anyone has had experience of this previously?
Or does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem or even what is causing the problem?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer
Keith

Hi
In you are using Win XP on this notebook, then you should update the BIOS because there is an special BIOS for Win XP!
Furthermore the Toshiba Multimedia Control buttons are controlled by Toshiba Controls tool. You can download it from the Toshiba driver page.
Regarding the illumination buttons;
As far as I know you can enabled and disable this in BIOS itself!
Check the BIOS settings,

My screen brightness control buttons don't work windows 8

my screen brightness control buttons don't work?
the light in the mute button is always on when NOT on mute?
Have set up Win8 3 TIMES but get always same bug agan
Hope someone can help

Hello smarisig. I understand you are not able to control screen brightness from the keyboard on Windows 8. By chance, did you upgrade to Windows 8 from Windows 7? I have located an online forum that contains troubleshooting on this issue: http://thedailybuggle.com/forum/unable-control-screen-brightness-windows-8-a-200.html
The person who posted the issue on this forum had upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8, and then this issue occurred. That is the reason I asked if this Windows 8 was upgraded. Regardless, follow the troubleshooting presented and it could resolve the issue for you. If not, let me know and I will continue to research the issue in the meantime. I'm only here to help!

Every time I plug in my headphones into my Macbook Pro, my volume control buttons don't work.

Every time I plug in my headphones into my Macbook Pro, my volume control buttons don't work. Even after I unplug my headphones they don't work, they get stuck on the level of volume it was at when I plugged in the headphones. I can control the volume if I go to system preferences and do it that way, but that is such a pain. Also, in order to get the buttons to work again I have to completely restart my computer which is also a pain! What should I do, or can do, to fix the problem?

Hello there.
I own a Toshiba Satellite A300 psagle.
It works beautifully, but there is a problem: the tactile music buttons don't work.

Could some one please tell me what I should do.
P.s. how can I activate the "face recognition" option?
Please reply.

Regarding the Toshiba Control Media buttons;
You have to install the Toshiba Controls from the Toshiba European driver page.
Check there the Satellite A300 PSAG8E series and download the Toshiba Controls

Scanjet G3110 top-deck buttons don't work on Win 7 Pro 64-bit

Scanjet G3110
Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit
Downloaded and installed new drivers (2014-01-15 , Version14.5). Scanner works, but the top-deck buttons don't.
No errors or warnings either during installation or while trying to use the scanner, but in the Application Event Log, I see two entries from MsiInstaller, in the order they occurred:
Product: hpg3110 -- Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Hewlett-Packard\Scanjet\DriverStore\hpgtg311.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147220473. Contact your support personnel.
Product: hpg3110 -- Error 1905.Module C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Hewlett-Packard\Scanjet\DriverStore\hpgtg311.dll failed to unregister. HRESULT -2147220472. Contact your support personnel.
No idea if this is related or even important.

Well, I know why the buttons don't work, but I still don't know what a real fix would be.
The Windows Image Acquisition service starts at boot time as it should (its startup type is set to "Automatic") but then stops after about 5 minutes. When it's not running, the buttons don't work.
If I start the service again, the buttons will work. It appears that once I've started the service manually, it will continue to run until the machine's shut down.

Hi
You have to configure the single buttons.
This Toshiba button support pop up will appear if the pressed button was not configured.
So press the button and then assign the action, application.
You have to expand this menu pressing on the small arrow on the right.

Re: Satellite A200-1ZF Win XP & Toshiba Control buttons don't work

Hi,
I have a Satellite A200-1ZF with Vista installed originally.
I removed Vista and install XP. And then installed all drivers and almost everything is working but those keys (power,www,mediaplayer,play,stop,back,next) on the upside of notebook don't work. :/
Only power work properly ...sometimes www and mediaplayer, but rest of it doesn,t work at all.
I have Windows Media Player 9 series. I don't know if it is problem with my drivers or windows media version or something else..
please help..

Hi
Satellite A200-1ZF belongs to the PSAE6E series.
Choose this series in the Toshiba European driver download form.
There you will find a XP BIOS. If you are using Win XP on this notebook then you have to update the BIOS to the XP version!
Furthermore you have to install the Toshiba Controls v. 2.48.2.2C.
This tool is needed to get the Toshiba Media buttons working!

Satellite U200-128 & Vista: FN & Control buttons don't work

I upgraded my notebook's OS from XP to Vista.
But after I changed my OS, some functions are not operating anymore, I.E. the multimedia keys (which is located just above the keyboard, right next to the power key), and the FN keys (screen backlight dimmer, wifi key, etc).
Can someone assist me with this?
I've already downloaded Toshiba software made for U200 for Vista and yet I can't seem to fix it like I did with an XP OS previously.

Hi
You have to install the Toshiba Vista Value Added Package to get the Toshiba Control buttons functionality.
Also the FN buttons should work after the VAP installation.
The point is that Vista FlashCards controls the FN buttons and the FlashCards are a part of the VAP.
I would also recommend installing the Button Support because it allows you to customize and preset TOSHIBA special button settings

Qosmio G40: Vista Ultimate - Control buttons don't work properly

Hello friends,
I have a Qosmio G40 for a few months and everything is working well till now.
The problem is related to the front operation panel.
If i am using Windows Media Player, the buttons PLAY/STOP/PAUSE/FORWARD/BACKWARD work well, but if i try to use (in any case) the other buttons like REC or TURN LEDS ON or DOLBY, the button makes the usual sound but nothing happens, doesn't open any program that is supposed to open.
Does anyone have any idea of why this is happening. I've been trying to look for any configuration software of these buttons but can't seem to find any.
My system is Windows Vista Ultimate.
Best Regards,
Ricardo Monteiro

Hi
The Toshiba European driver page provides the AV Controller Manager.
This tool allows you to customize and preset TOSHIBA AV Control button settings.
Maybe you should install this tool and should check it again.
Additionally it would be advisable to reinstall the VAP

Volume control buttons don't work for iTunes in speaker mode

Using onboard speakers (no headset on my iPhone 4S, the speaker buttons are not working. In fact the slider ICON in missing in playing music as well as the ringer ICON that comes up when I press the buttons.
I can go into settings, Sounds and manually move the slider for Ringer and Alerts, with "Change with Buttons" set "on, I can then press the volumn buttons on the side and see the slider move up and down (right and left). But as soon as I leave that screen and press either volumn up or down on the side, the Ringer ICON comes up but the slider part is gone.
In this case, there is no sound out of the speakers. However "Siri" works fine.
And in phone mode, I can use speakerphone and hear audio out of the speakers. (In fact in phone mode, speakers or headset works fine).
All other apps the speakers are inop and the volum control buttons are inop.
It's like it's in perminent "mute".

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3938840?start=0&tstart=0
I got out my air compressor and literally blew the S* out of the docking port. I did dock the iPhone to my car dock port as a test, played music through the car. Then undocked and the volume control and speaker sounds all restored.
Not 100% it was cleaning the docking port or that I unwedged the software by docking into some different device.

My screen gets dim and the brightness control buttons don't work

My screen is frequently dim. The brightness control buttons display that they are working, but the brightness doesn't actually change. Any ideas why and what I can do?

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, I had tried that but still had to go into preferences any time I wanted it brighter. After I posted, I found a thread using some different keywords and found that people were having the same problem with OS versions up to 10.7.2 but solved it with the latest update (10.7.3). I just installed it and now seem to be able to adjust the brightness with my keyboard no problem. I appreciate your reply anyway!

Qosmio X500-1801 - FN button don't work with Win 7

I have to question why Toshiba Qosmio X500-1801 FN of buttons does not work on Windows 7 Professional 32-bit operating system. Please answer the [email protected]

If you didnt install right Toshiba tool it cannot work.
As far as I know Qosmio X500 is not supported so I dont know if you will be able to get them work on Win7 32bit.
What you can try is to install VAP designed for other notebook model but Im not 100% sure this will help.

DVD Remote Control buttons don't work when using regular DVD player

I created a DVD using DVD Studio Pro (version 3.0.2) and am unable to navigate through any menus or buttons using the DVD players remote control. I can press the play button on the actual DVD player and play the movie. How can I fix this issue? Any suggestions would be helpful!
I never changed the default setting on the file I made and the DVD works just fine in the simulator as well as any computer DVD player. Also, is there a way to make sure the DVD will play on all DVD players even if it doesn't read burned DVDs?
Thanks for the help!

Not sure if I can add anything here - you're in good hands! I'd like to know how you constructed the menus - did you use photoshop layers for the background and overlay, or did you use a pict file? Are these motion menus or static?
About the compatibility - a burned disc will only ever be about 85% compatible with the number of DVD players out there, and if a DVD player states that it cannot read from DVD-R or DVD+R discs then it most likely won't play your disc. The only way to approach full compatibility is to have the disc replicated, but the cost of this usually means it is not worth while for anything less than 500 to 1000 discs at a time. If you are using DVD±R then all you can do is take steps to make sure the disc is as compatible as it can be, such as keeping the MPEG encode less than 7.5MBPS, using AC3 audio, not applying paper labels and so on.
Compatibility is getting better in general, this summer I have burned in excess of 90 individual projects on DVD-R (and duplicated each one up to seven times each) for playback on consumer players and only one came back (so far). When I looked at it there was a chunk missing from the surface of the disc, which probably explained the error!
