Function key drop-down doesn't appear anymore

Hi there
When i press the Fn Key the computer no longer displays the drop down menu that it used to. The function key still works but I can no longer see what function i have selected.
How can I resolve this??

Hi
The Flash Card Support Utility controls this FN button and the menu on the screen so you should check if Flash Card restart would help you to sort out this issue.
If not, try to reinstall the VAP (value added package) and the Flash Card Utility (if available for download)

When entering a website my history will pull down in a list but when I hit enter to go to a site after typing it in that drop down doesn't close anymore, how do I fix that so it goes away when I navigate to a page?

Example: facebook.com
My history will drop down from the navigation bar and highlight the letters I am typing so I can choose a previous page if I want to. But when I press enter to tell it to go to a site the drop down does not go away I have to click somewhere to make it go away. It is suppose to just go away when you click one of the history items it shows or press enter to go to a site and it doesn't anymore.

Satellite A300 Function keys drop down menu not displaying

Hey guys,
i think when i was deleting a whole heap of programs i may have deleted something i shouldn't have by accident. When i press and hold the Fn Key and then press one of the function keys (F1-F12), the computer no longer displays the drop down blue menu that it used to. The function key still works but i can no longer see what function i have selected. (i.e. turn blue tooth on/off or see which monitor i am selecting) The light still illuminates on the key board to indicate that i have pressed the function key it is just the drop down menu no longer appears.
Any help you can give would be great.

Hmm thanks for that the problem is that during the deletion of all the programs i also did a clean and removed all my restore points as well, will this stop me from restoring the OS or can i still do this, also not sure if i can install VAP. given i didn't look for or delete the previous one (may be the problem) but before i came to the forums here i found and tried to install the new VAP and it couldn't find the files required for it and shut itself down.
Thanks for replying i will see what i can do.

Satellite X200 20G - Fn pop-up screen doesn't appear anymore

Hello there,
(I made a post on this subject yesterday evening but I cannot find it anywhere.... sorry if both appear later)
I would need your help as the pop-up screen with the Function keys doesn't appear anymore when I place the cursor on the top of my screen....
I don't think I have changed any settings. I have installed the SP1 for Vista but I cannot tell if this is linked.
I found Toshiba "Accessibility", but when I click on the accessibility icon, I get a Toshiba Accessibility Error screen telling "This system, can not use Toshiba Accessibility" ...
Could you please advise?
Thank you,
Guy

HI!
I Have a X200-212 running Vista w/out SP1.
When I was upgrading drivers(after i buy it) i somehow lost the FN function and the popup toolbar. That happened after i installed or update(dont remenber) the toshiba bluetooth stack.
I unisntalled the toshiba bluetooth stack and installed the windows vista bluetooth support as an alternative, and the FN thingy started to work again.
But in your case im guessing its something related to the sp1 ?:| ,lets see if Toshiba updates the X200 drivers to support the Vista SP1.
Cheers

If i selected to "Create a new backup" and then cancelled that option but want to go back and select "Inherit backup history"; how do i go back and do that since now when i plug in my HD, that option doesn't appear anymore?? Any Help?

If i selected to "Create a new backup" and then canceled that option but want to go back and select "Inherit backup history"; how do I go back and do that since now when I plug in my external hard drive, that option doesn't appear anymore?? Any Help? I bought a MacBook Air, but decided to return it for the newest model, and I wanted to back it up so that I can then back it up on my new MacBook Air. I didn't understand the option to Inherit or start a new back up, and therefore selected the option to create a new backup. I believe I should have selected to Inherit backup history so that when i back it up on the new MackBook Air, it appears the same as the one I'm returning.... Is there anyway that i can re-select the option to Inherit backup history for time machine?

Thanks for sharing this link.

I have never had to enter a password to access mail. However, recently, I keep being asked for password on my ****** address. Only on my macbook. (which, btw, has a version number the drop down doesn't offer as a choice. I had to putt 9.4)

When I look up the account the "password" is a long string of gobbledygook. Something I would never do.
But when I attempt to use that pw I still can't get in.
I have no trouble accessing that email account on my mac mini. Just on the macbook.

Maiko,
I'm confess I'm still trying to get a handle on your problem. You do a fantastic job of describing it ... but I'm just trying to picture it accurately in my head.
I think, were I in your shoes, I'd begin by looking at what the debug page has to say for the specific destination in which you're interested in fixing. In other words, I'm not clear on where, exactly, this destination points ...
Destination illinois.edu.1945806043
Is that your site, or the division within your site that you want to fix? "Normally", you do not need to specify a site handle to get to your site within your transfer CGI ... if you say "uillinois.edu", it's enough to transfer your users to iTunes U ... but every site still has a handle, and you could, if you wanted to, actually specify it in your transfer CGI. For example, this:
Destination uic.edu.1139051993
is for my entire site ... it's my site handle. Whereas this:
Destination uic.edu.1991288441
is for a division within my site ... but it's impossible to tell the difference between "site" and "division" from just the handle (I mean, if I didn't say "this is a site" and "this is a division", there'd be no way for you to know). So when I look at your creds and permissions on your debug page, I can't quite tell if they give you download access for your site, or for the specific division you want to fix. If you could open the debug page with your division as destination (or confirm that that's what we're looking at), it'd rule out some things.

Hi I would like to know how to disable the drop down box which appears below the search box on the start page when I start to type in my search topic. If for example the first letter I type in is an S then it shows a list of previous searches of sites beginning with the letter S.

6 year-old battery makes horrible sounds, the charging light doesn't appear anymore

Hello!
My battery (and my laptop HP Pavillion zt3019ea) are 6 years old and for few weeks now my battery has made horrible sounds (like a loud mosquito) when connected to the charger. When it's not connected to the charger the sounds stop but it looks like the battery hasn't been charged at all.
The charging light doesn't appear anymore, or very rarely.
Is it the end??!
Is it worth buying a new battery for a 6 year-old laptop (i already changed the hard drive few months ago)?
Thanks a lot!!!
Marine.

I will definately recommend buying a new battery for the unit since you still work on your notebook.
It is bettery to buy geniune spares from HP than buying third party spares as you will have a warranty on the battery purchased.

Satellite X200 20G - Fn keys pop-up screen doesn't appear anymore

Good morning, I hope you could help me on the following:
I have just noticed that when I place the cursor at the top of the screen, the pop-up screen with the functions keys no longer appears...
What did I do??? I don't think I have made any change to the settings.... I have installed the Vista SP1 but I couldn't tell you if the problem has just followed this installation (sorry). I usually don't use this functionality, I would even say that usually it annoys me a lot, but now that it doesn't work anymore, I miss it and I would say I discover a lot a usefulness to this feature...
How to get it back? That is the question.
I have looked in the Toshiba screens, I found Toshiba "Accessibility", but when I hit this icon I get a 'Toshiba Accessibility Error" pop-up screen telling: "This system can not use "Toshiba Accessibility" ".
Could you please advice?
Thank you
Guy

Hello *marina4000* , first of all thank you very much for coming into my post.
Second, I really think you have identified the area where the problem is.... I would have never looked into the "flashcards" area as to me this was related to memory cards...
You were right, I found in the Toshiba folder, Utilities, the Flashcards related topics. I hit "Restart Flash Cards" and the bar at the top of the screen appeared again, GREAT!....
But, as unfortunately there is a "but", the bar didn't appear at the next boot. I went back to the menu and found a line called "Settings for Flash Cards". It opened me a window where I found a box called "Disable all functions keys" but it was unchecked. I then checked this box, hit OK, then again uncheck it and clicked OK and the bar appeared, but again, at the next boot, it was not present...
It looks as if this is the right direction to dig into, but there is still something to fix so the bar is loaded at boot time.
I am hectic to read your next post!
(thank you again)
Guy

My drop-down list won't appear anymore so every time I want to go to a new site I have to type it in where before my drop-down box would appear and I could just click it and hit search and go there how do I make my drop-down box come back

somehow I must've clicked a button that took away my drop down box when I go to use my Google search so different sites that I go to a lot I would always just click it when the drop-down box came up I would click again and hit search and you would bring that page up but even if I go to a site once I leave that I try to click and make the drop-down box come up again with the new search and it nothing happens so the problem is I need my drop down box to come back up to all the places that I visit kind of like a history of like I said I would just click and it would come up by itself now the drop-down box won't come up anymore so I need somebody to tell me what to do to bring my drop-down box back also I am new to computers so I don't know a lot so don't be real technical thanks for the help merry Christmas from Joe

It's not a matter of me assuming to restore it, once the error comes up, the only next step I can do is to restore it. I can't access any of the iphones settings in itunes or anything, it's a mandatory restore. If I just cancel the sync (before restoring) and disconnect the phone, all my apps crash on opening: aka unusable phone. So I have literally no choice but to restore every time the error shows up if I want my phone to work.
I have no idea where I may have duplicate files as it doesn't tell me, so if that is the problem (which I don't think it is) then I don't know where I have to go to delete the duplicates.
And the duplicate file error still doesn't explain why leaving iTunes to restore the phone doesn't work and me having to drag the window around. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, my friend didn't believe me when I told him either but then I showed him and he was as confused as I am. If I just leave the restore to do its own thing at it's own pace, it will loa maybe 20% then fail for whatever reason.

The drop-down list that appears when typing in the Google search bar doesn't work. Clicking on an item on that list does nothing. This very useful feature is broken.

I just installed FireFox 4. In previous versions typing in the Google search box automatically created a drop-down list of items. One could click on an item on the list and proceed to a Google results page. In FireFox 4, the list appears but clicking on an item on the drop-down menu does nothing. It's broken and it was a very useful feature in previous versions.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

TS1702 When using safari as soon as I enter the cursor in the google search box the key board drops down and re-appears and is then usable?

When using google with Safari as soon as I enter the cursor in the text box the key board drops down, when re-entered it is fine and useable?

Post a screenshot please. Are those regular Short Answer Question slides or custom quesiton slides? To which master slide did you add the shortcut, because I don't even know which one is used for Short Answer, it is not mentioned in the master slide titles. There is a master slide for Hot Spot, one for Matching, one for Likert and one for MCQ/TF/FIB/Sequence. I suppose the last one is also used for Short Answer but never checked it. Reason is that for short answer I never use the default question slide, because it is so limited for validation: you cannot use 'contain' to check the answer.
I don't know of any way to have the focus immediately in the Answer Area, sorry

My recent tags drop down doesn not show all of my bookmarks like it did before. They are saved but I have to go to organize bookmarks to find them. How can I expand the tags drop down?

I switched computers and am in the process of adding by bookmarks and tagging them. Some of my tags no t longer appear in the drop down even though I have just viewed them. Any suggestions?

The Views menu in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) is for displaying the bookmarks in different sorting orders (hence the name Views) and doesn't sort bookmarks permanently.
Right-click a folder to open the context menu and choose "Sort By Name" in the left pane of the Bookmarks Manager or in the side bar to sort the bookmarks alphabetically or drag bookmarks to the wanted position. If dragging doesn't work then use Cut and Paste instead.
