Functional keys doesn't work in Windows 7.
I have installed BootCamp 3.0 and installed all drivers; however, functional keys doesn't work such as keyboard backlight, volum control.
Let me know if there is any solution.
Thank you,
' Installed device in another PC with same OS. And it worked (seems like fine) with latest drivers from Creative site.
May be, the problem is that Setup doesn't delete old drivers or other stuff which conflicts with latest drivers? Before released drivers I tried to install beta and them didn't work. Yes, I uninstalled them and removed all drivers and software which I could with Device Manager. But it seems like it is installing well on "clean" system.

If you make a forum search, you can find many threads dedicated to your problems. Go to the Toshiba driver page and download the Vap utility and Flashcard support.

It is possible that the issues may be caused by preference corruption or interference from other applications.
You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps. Since you had it in CS4 too, the most likely is 5).
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer;
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (irreversible);
4) Move the folder with Illy closed (reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options, especially Item 7) with the usual suspects;
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

NB - FN keys doesn't work so I can't turn on WiFi on Windows 7
I cannot turn wireless on because FN-F8 doesn't work on Windows 7. Anyone could help me solve this problem?
Is it possible to remove Windows 7 and reinstall Windows XP again? (I formated drive C before setting up Windows 7) Now, I don't know how to remove Windows 7 and reinstall window xp.
Thank you very much for your helps in advance.Hello. I'm new to the forum but have the same old problem. I had performed a smooth "free" upgrade to Windows 7 and was contented until I tried to lock the computer using FN+F1. After numerous installs of Toshiba Value Added Pack (all versions), TOSHIBA Assist and Toshiba Flash Cards, I've reached a dead end with nowhere to go. In TOSHIBA Assist I have also tried the OPTIMIZE -> TOSHIBA Hardware Settings : Button Settings : Function Button ->' Enabled' but it does not seem to keep itself checked (after a restart I find 'Disabled' checked instead)
This is really beginning to grind my gears. ANY help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated =)

Function keys are not working correctly
I've been looking all over the various threads and I can't find an answer that solves my problem.
Here are the details:
I bought the computer in the U.S. where I live.
I have a iMac 2.4GHz intel Core 2 Duo EMC 2133 with a 20" screen. Bought it new in February 2008.
I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 (I am waiting for my order for OS Snow Leopard to come in!!)
I have been using a wireless mouse and Keyboard (Love not having cords!)
Recently, my wireless keyboard got a short and quit working. I went down to the apple store and got a new wireless keyboard.
I had the computer with me at the genius bar so, yes, the apple employee saw exactly what I have.
I took it all home got the thing all put back together and got the new keyboard paired up and working with the computer.
Here are the problems:
Went to go use the function keys while using iTunes and found they weren't working properly. The F10, F11 and F12 do not control the volume of sound as the keyboard indicates they would, they instead activate dashboard, spaces, and application windows.
Following the advice of other threads, I looked over in the system preferences and made sure the "Use all F1, F2 etc." box was unchecked (it was unchecked), things still didn't work.
I tried the fn key but it appears to not work at all it has no effect on the functioning of the function keys.
I went under keyboard shortcuts in system preferences and found the F10, F11 and F12 keys, it confirms that those keys control spaces, dashboard and application windows as they are performing but shows no options to either reassign to volume control (as marked on the keyboard) or make the fn key work.
I've gone back and forth trying various combinations of checked and unchecked boxes to see if anything would work, so far I've come up with nothing.
A couple more important or interesting facts:
Yes I have turned off and taken the batteries out of the old keyboard. My bluetooth connection currently shows it as disconnected.
I have restarted the computer.
One thing I find odd; when I go under preferences and go to Keyboard and Mouse when I go under the section "Bluetooth" it shows Bluetooth mouse with the name of the mouse and the battery level. BUT nothing is showing up under bluetooth Keyboard, I can't figure out how to change this and don't know if it is contributing to the problem.
When I go under the bluetooth logo on the top bar I find the mouse and both keyboards referenced, the old keyboard is shown as disconnected and the other two are connected. I have tried to update the device's name but it doesn't seem to let me.
I have double clicked on the device under bluetooth and it shows the new keyboard as discoverable, paired and connected. Hence, I am using the new keyboard to write this inquiry.
Please, any assistance would be of great help. I have tried to be thorough in order help narrow the possible problem. Thanks!!Hendry
Just thought I'd let you know. Our suspicions were correct, it was the OS. After I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) all the problems were corrected. I also updated the RAM from 1 gb to 6 gb. The mac is working all around better. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. My superdrive had pooped out. Rather than replace it I got an external drive from OWC connected with firewire 800. So far everything is running very well, as far as I can tell this external drive is better than the original superdrive. My superdrive has always acted funny, infact I returned the first mac I got after a week because its superdrive was also malfunctioning. Anyway, all that to say everything seems to be fully functioning again.

What can I do if my function keys don't work correctly?
QuestionWhat can I do if my function keys don't work correctly?
AnswerFunction keys can mean a few different things. You might be having a problem with the F-keys near the top of your keyboard (F1, F2, etc.), the secondary functions of the F-keys (toggling the wireless or touchpad, for example), or special media keys on your laptop.
There are a few steps you can take to try to resolve these issues. Try the suggestions listed below in the order presented. If a step fixes the problem, you're done! If a step doesn't fix your problem, continue to the next step.
Understand the FN key
First, ensure you understand how to use the FN key. In most newer models, the special utilities of the F-keys are used when you press the F-keys. To use the F-keys, you need to hold FN first. In older models, this was reversed. pressing the F-keys activated the F-keys. The special utilities of the F-keys are used while holding FN. If you're having trouble using your F-keys, try both with and without the FN key.
Reinstall TVAP or Toshiba Flash Cards Utility
Some models may use the Toshiba Value Added Package or the Toshiba Flash Cards Utility. Check the support site to see if these utilities are available for your model. If you see either listed, download and install it. Some models don't use these utilities; it's okay if you don't see either of them.

My enter key doesn't work in the address bar so I can't manually enter URLs
This is actually on my wife's computer but, apparently she recently upgraded to 3.6.13 and now the enter key doesn't work in the address bar. I can enter a URL but can never go to it because the enter key is totally non functional in the address bar. Chrome works fine and other apps work fine. The enter key works here in this text box and in the search area but not in the address bar. Weird huh!

i am locked out of my account because my password includes "[" and my computer is set to spanish. In spanish that key doesn't work. How do I gejt back into my computer?
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:

Brightness doesn't work in Windows 7 on Mini 210 HD
Hi,
I've bought a Mini 210 HD a month or two ago, and i promptly removed XP to put Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit) on it. This has worked more or less OK, but ever since upgrading i have been unable to use the brightness functions of the lap-top in any way. Not only can i not adjust the brightness with the hot keys, Windows will not dim the screen when i remove it from the mains or leave it to idle, and although i can move the brightness slider in the Power Options control panel, it has no effect. (Currently it is on the lowest setting in Windows, but the hardware is still on maximum brightness.)
I have re-installed the Intel chip-set drivers and the HP keyboard drivers a half-dozen times, these don't seem to be the problem. There is also nothing relevant listed in Windows Update, and there are no problem devices listed in Device Manager.
Is there anything i can do about this?
configuration:
HP Mini 210 HD
Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit)
Intel GMA 3150 driver 8.14.10.1972
Microsoft x86 ACPI driver 6.1.7600.16385Alrighty, Here ya go! I had this problem also. Got my HP mini 210HD and put Windows 7 on it right away. Brightness wouldn't change, function keys didn't work, brightness slider did nothing.
Solution:
Make sure you download the graphics drivers from HP's website, not Intel's. The brightness setting won't work with the Intel graphics drivers.
Get "Intel Mobile Graphics Driver for Microsoft Windows 7" from HP's website.
I have Windows 7 32bit, so I downloaded this: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-78614-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...

I have purchase Lightroom5 upgrade version for MAC and just re-install my mac and install lightroom5. however, it said my key doesn't work. should i install lightroom 3 then install lightroom5 upgrade version instead of install lightroom 5 directly? where can i down load lightroom 5 upgrade version?
It is possible you downloaded a Creative Cloud version. Try downloading thru the page linked below. An upgrade version is differentiated by the serial number... the software itself only has one version.

Some function keys are not working on my Portege R830
Like others, I have a new Portege R830 and experienced the sudden unexplained loss of functionality of the 13 function keys. My os is a native windows 7 64bit install, with office 2010 installed afterwards. I have the SSD model.
I followed the instructions, removing TVAP and re-installing, and I have both VAP and flashcards operational. I used the USA site drivers for the latest set (the Australian and European driver sets are older versions and different).
Most, but not all, of the function keys are now working again. What isn't working are as follows:
- F12 functionkey not operating
- volume up and down keys not operating - what I am most interested in - any suggestions on how to get functional again please?
also, on re-installing VAP, I lost functionality on ecobutton. Any suggestions on how to get working again?
thanks in anticipationHi
You are on the right way dude the VAP and Flash Card Support Utility controls the FN buttons. If you have an European notebook model, I would recommend using the drivers from Toshiba European driver page but generally speaking there should not be a difference in the software
However, in my case restarting the Flash Cards helps to get back the FN buttons functionality. The Flash Cards can be found in All Programs -> Toshiba -> Flash Cards.
So check if restart would help you.
Regarding the Eco button: ECO Utility controls this button tooso would recommend installing/reinstalling this software beside the VAP -
Application Restart and Recovery APIs doesn't work for windows services
I am using the Application Restart and Recovery mechanism (provided in Windows API Code Pack for Microsoft.NET Framework) to collect some information (i.e. stack information when there's an unhandledexception) before my windows service crash down.
It works well for windows form applications, but the callback method wouldn't be called if the host is a windows service.
I have checked the article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/subscriptions/downloads/cc303708
But it doesn't specify clearly whether it works for a windows service. It seems that the recovery will only be activated when the user interacts with the error dialog of Windows Error Reporting (clicking "close" on the dialog, for example).
So I am wondering is my guess right that the Application Restart and Recovery mechanism doesn't work for windows services. Or is there a better way to meet my requirement?I would suggest trying ARR if that's what you want to use. The restart portion won't work, but it doesn't need to as if you fail out of your service, the Windows service controller will handle recovery (up to and including restarting your service).
You configure those recovery actions either through code or one of the built in administrative tools for services such as services.msc.
DebugDiag/ADplus and similar tools ultimately do use built-in APIs; you don't need to add anything external to collect debugging information. You do however have to write a good deal of code to do somethings. It's pretty simple to use the unmanaged
function that I pointed out before and
MiniDumpWriteDump to write a minidump when you hit an unexpected error(the dbghelp.dll that comes installed with Windows has it so you don't need anything additional installed). You can even write a basic debugger that literally debugs a process using
only kernel32 functions (see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms679301(v=vs.85).aspx if you're interested).

Upgrading from W 8.1 to 10, Key doesn't work
This laptop was purchased with Windows 8.1 pre-installed. The Windows 10 software is on my C drive and I tried installing it. The window asks for the Key. I've run the CMD wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey. It gives me a Key but the installation program says the key doesn't work. Some sites say all updates must be installed. Done!Some sites say ignore the key and proceed. I can't as the software is very snooty - the OK cell is grayed out. Any suggestions? As an aside, I can't believe all the fluff on the Internet about installing W10. BTW, I installed W10 on an old ASUS Eee PC without any problem.
Hello, Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum. Please, refer to this thread: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/problem-with-activation-after-upgrade-to-windows-10/td-p/5172044

FN key doesn't work propertly on my Satellite P875-32H
Hi everybody,
I have problem like many others, FN key doesn't work propertly. Let's start from beggining:
1. I bought my P875-32H with Win8 64bit, and everything was allright.
2. After upgrade to 8.1 many probles issued and most of them I solved, BUT,
3. recently I found that FN key doesn't work in combination with
a) f5
b) f6-f8 (only with media player works, with winamp doesn't work),
c) f12 (I turned off wifi throught control panel, but indicator still flashing),
d) 1 and 2
e) y or z (US keybord)- keyboard backligth on/off-I try many solutions founded on forums (install driver from toshiba support site) but without success. Throught BIOS I turn on backligth but I can not turn off without entering in BIOS.
f) space-I have never used that combination.
I have tried on Microsoft forums but there is no solutions.
And one more question
Why my model P875-32H is not on dropdown list on toshiba support site?
RegardsAt first I must say that I hope you have updated your machine following instructions on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/
FN keys functionality is controlled by Toshiba specific tools and what you need to install or is already installed are Toshiba system driver and Toshiba function key utility.
FN+F5 key combination is for touchpad. Have you installed proper touchpad driver?
F6 and F8 are designed to work with media player. In the past (WXP) using small plug-in it was possible to use it for Winamp. I think something like this doesn't exist anymore.
You know it is not easy to say install this or that and everything will be OK. FN keys functionality is thing where several things work together.
Check please Toshiba download page on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities for Win8.1. -
