Qosmio G20-127: Hotkeys & Fn buttons don't work with Vista RC1

This problem is really annoying me. Neither the Hotkeys(play, pause, forward, record, brightness) nor the Fn Buttons work since I installed windows vista RC1.
I need to find a solution for this issue. If anyone has experienced it please provide me with feedback.
Also the ConfigFree seems to be incompatible with Windows Vista, if anyone knows a trick or two I'd be most thankful

Hi Shaker
There is no trick or two!
Do you know that the Windows Vista RC1 is not an official end version and the RC1 version contains about 1500 bugs!
Furthermore to use the Toshiba features like the FN buttons or the hotkeys you will need the Toshiba drivers. BUT you will not find any Toshiba drivers for the Windows Vista at this time.
Why? Because the Windows Vista is not official on the market. Therefore if you want to use the Vista at this time on your notebook you have to use it without the Toshiba options.
But Im sure that you will get the Toshiba drivers if the Windows Vista was fully developed and official to buy.

  • Qosmio G20-127: Screen blackout after closing the lid on Vista

    Hi,
    I have Qosmio G20-127 and I've recently installed Vista Ultimate Edition (32-bit). I managed to bring everything to its place (except the magic buttons, but the drivers are not out yet), but I have a problem that is seriously making me reconsider going back to XP MCE.
    When I close the lid of my computer the display naturally goes off, but when I open it up again it does not turn on, but it stays black. And I can't make it turn on again no matter what. I have to turn off the entire computer and that is quite impractical.
    Funny thing is that after restart for about 20-30 minutes I can open and close the lid normally, but after a little longer work on the computer the same problem occurs.
    The problem persists even after I turned off every action remotely connected to closing the lid.
    Does anyone have any solution?

    Hi J,
    thanks for your help but my BIOS update won't install. I get the message "[Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed."
    About the powersaver, I didn't install additional powersaver program as I was told it would conflict with Vista's Mobility Center (FranciscoJr's Guide to installing Vista), but all the options regarding closing lid are turned off (Do nothing option).
    There are two more new things I observed and might be indicative of the problem, but I don't know what to make of it.
    1. When I close the lid I hear 'disconnected device sound'
    2. And the screen sometimes comes back if the s-video cable (leading to my tv) is plugged out (usually it was always in coz I use Q20 as a media center as well)
    Of course that made me think that it might be a problem in Graphic Card, but I've installed the most recent driver.
    So now I'm pretty much clueless as what to do.

  • 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.

  • Satellite A300-1JH PSAGLE: Control buttons don't work with XP

    Hello there.
    I own a Toshiba Satellite A300 psagle.
    It works beautifully, but there is a problem: the tactile music buttons don't work.
    I am using Windows XP and I have installed all the drivers available.
    Could some one please tell me what I should do.
    P.s. how can I activate the "face recognition" option?
    Please reply.
    Regards.

    Hi
    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
    Regarding the face reorganization:

  • Satellite A300-1GN - Media buttons don't work with Win 7

    Hei
    I installed windows 7 to my Toshiba satellite a300 1gn, Short Model No: psagce and some illuminated media buttons don't work.
    i have the latest drivest but still nothing. first button is should controll the illumination for media buttons, touch pad and Satellite logo.
    second button should open media player or something like that. the other fore buttons work fine!
    Could someone helt me solve my problem?

    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.

  • Equium A110-276: multimedia buttons do not work with Vista

    How to reinstall the software of the multimedia buttons at the right side of the laptop in Windows Vista? becuase when I install windows vista the buttons doesn't work anymore.. multimdia buttons: the WMPlayer, play/pause, stop, next and previous buttons... a nyonw got a software or got the same problem?

    Hello
    I have checked Vista download page and your notebook A110 (PSAB2) is not listed there. Usually you need Toshiba controls but with Vista this tool is not available separately. I presume it is a part of Value Added Package.
    Have you already installed anything downloaded from Toshiba download page http://pc-support.toshiba-europe.com/vista/ ?

  • AppleScript Application - Multiple buttons don't work with one script...

    Okay, so I need to control just about 22 buttons to make this project work. But. I still can't get 2 to work.
    Here is my script:
    on clicked theButton
      -- Preferences:
              if title of theButton = "Save" then
                             set Word1 to the contents of the text field "WordDefine1" of window "Preferences"
                        display dialog "Saved the words:" & return & "-" & Word1
      --  Process of word one:
              else if title of theButton = "Say1" then
                        display dialog "I hope I see this cuz then that button works. YAY!"
              else if title of theButton = "Check1" then
                        if Word1 = contents of text field "WordInput1" of window "iSpell" then
                                  say "If I can even see THIS, I am like in AppleScript heaven. BOTH buttons work!"
         end if
      end if
    end clicked
    So when I click the "Save" button, it displays the defined dialog. But the button "Say1" does absoulutely nothing. Same for the "Check1" button.
    I'm guessing I did something wrong here...
    Thanks in advance
    P.S. (I'm not actually using the actions see here for the last 2 buttons:)

    Okay, thanks so much, the buttonName script worked. This is part of what I have now:
    -- Preferences:
    if buttonName = "Save" then
      set Word1 to the contents of the text field "WordDefine1" of window "Preferences"
      display dialog "Saved the words:" & return & "-" & Word1
      --  Process of word one:
      else if buttonName = "Say1" then
      say Word1
    The diplay dialog line at the end of the "Save" button script works, but when I do the say button, it has an AppleScript Error, saying that the variable Word1 is not defined. But the display dialog thing works. What the heck.

  • Satellite P305-S8832 - Media buttons don't work with Win7

    Hello Wise Friends,
    Recently I installed two brand new hard drives (500GB 7200 rpm OS/ 500GB 5400 rpm DATA) and I did a clean installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bits on my 3 1/2 Toshiba Satellite P305-S8832. Everything but the media buttons is working pretty well.
    I downloaded the drivers from the Toshiba repository including the Toshiba Software installer for Windows 7 and the toshiba valued package. Still those tactile buttons which are above the keyboard and between the speakers does not work, no light, no response, nothing. I have checked the bios.
    These buttons work out of the box with Ubuntu Linux, Windows XP and Windows Vista.
    Any advice?

    Hi
    Generally speaking, the Multimedia buttons are controlled by VAP (value added package) and the buttons should work after the installation of VAP.
    Found the drivers here:
    [Satellite P305-S8832 drivers|http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2059997& rpn=PSPC0U&modelFilter=P305-S8832&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768663#]
    It seems that there is also a newer version of VAP available.
    Check other newer Sat P series in order to get latest VAP version.
    Furthermore install the Hardware Setup. This tool lets you customize your hardware settings

  • Equium U400 PSU42E: Hotkeys don't work with Vista

    My touch sensitve hotkeys aren't working!
    They were working last night but not any more.
    I know this is a common issue when people have change from Vista to XP but i haven't.
    Can you help. ?

    As Mores said, use the system restore tool.
    But it would be interesting if you installed something on your notebook or not. Maybe this causes the error.
    And I never heard about this issue after changing from Vista to XP.

  • Helpful and Solved buttons don't work with Safari

    I had to switch to Firefox to use them. Am I the only one?

    Thanks, Kady. I tried from another account and it worked. I then temporarily deleted the following files:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    ~/Library/Safari
    ~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    ~/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    with no effect. And of course I can't reinstall Safari without reinstalling 10.4.3, which seems like too much trouble. Any other suggestions?

  • Tecra A10-14Q: 3G modem with UMTS don't work with Vista 64bit

    Hello,
    after Vista 64 bit drivers have been made available, I switched the installed hard disk and did a clean install of Vista Business, along with the drivers that Toshiba posted.
    Everything is fine, except that the Wireless Manager accepts the SIM card PIN, but only shows "Transmitter deactivated" ("Sender deaktiviert" in the German version). I can't find a clue where the problem is.
    In the device manager window the 3G modem is fine and functional, the PIN is correct and accepted, and I have the latest drivers installed.
    Shutting down the notebook and switching the hard drive again gets me back to Vista Business 32 bit and the UMTS card is working fine?
    Any help to resolve this is appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    YaGru

    Thank you vey much for this feedback and that you share this information with others here in the forum.
    I think it could b every useful for other users who meet the same problems.

  • TV tuner doesn't work on Vista - Qosmio G20-127

    My TV tuner doesn't work on Qosmio G20-127. Or should I be more specific it is not recognised at all, Media Center says there is not tuner hardware. I don't even know where would I install the driver, even if I had it. The only unrecognized device in device menager is 'Multimedia Video Controller'.
    Did anyone have this problem or maybe still does? What are my options? Besides going back to WIN XP MCE. :)

    So, I managed to find G30 driver for the TV tuner and installed it to 'Multimedia Video Controler'. And it seems to work. I downloaded the driver from toshiba's official site[url href=http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?macId=&mode=allMachines&userOS=& action=search&selCategory=2&selFamily=381&selSerie s=171&selProduct=627&selOS=26&selType=218&country= 52&language=13&search=]here[/url].

  • Widcomm 5.0.1.1200 drivers on Qosmio G20-127

    Is there any possibility to install Widcomm Bluetooth software drivers on Qosmio G20-127? I want to use them instead of Toshiba and Microsoft Bluetooth stacks. I have modified btwusb.inf file in Widcomm 5.0.1.1200 with my own PID and VID (taken from Toshiba inf file) but I am unable to install the drivers yet.

    I looked into it, You can force windows to use the widcomm drivers, But there is a chance you will completley muck everything up. I read on a forum that a system restore wouldnt fix the toshiba bluetooth after trying the drivers.
    I found a site where they are discuss the problems in more detail.
    Where they keep updated on the current drivers

    and where they tell you about bugs that may occur when installing.

  • Front buttons don`t works Qosmio X300

    The front buttons don`t works. I can`t turn up and down the sound or take on or off the light on the computer.
    I can`t push a button to take next song.
    Do anybody have a good answer on that?

    Hi
    I think you are talking about the Toshiba Control buttons.
    This buttons are controlled by software which is a part of VAP (value added package).
    I would recommend removing the old VAP. Then to clean the OS using the CCLeaner and finally after an further notebook reboot you could reinstall the VAP again!
    Check if this helps. Usually it should
