Satellite 5200-903: Problems with Fn-F5 and middle cpad button

Hi,
i updated my Win XP Home to Win XP Pro and installed all the toshiba goodies from the Homepage. Two things don't work as expected though:
* Fn-F5 doesn't cycle through the available monitors
* the middle cpad button cannot be used as a middle mouse button
Don't know why Fn-F5 doesn't work, all the other Fn-Keys work as expected. They show the OSD, too. Fn-F5 doesn't show the OSD and no function :/
About the cpad button: I tried the driver from the toshiba site and from synpatics.com
The problem is: in the control panel i can choose functions for each button. The function "middle mouse button" is available for the left and the right button, but not the middle one. And it is not recognized as middle mouse button, but as PageUp.
Any ideas? The notebook is a Satellite 5200-903.
Thanks for your help.

Hello Ataraxis
First of all I must tell you that Satellite 5200 is a great unit. If I found one that costs not much money I will buy it.
To your issues:
As far as I know if you want to use FN+F5 key combination you must install TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility for Display Devices V2.1.0.0-1. I hope that this tool is installed properly. If you want you can try to install it again.
I am not 100% sure but I think that this small button in the middle has no the same function like middle button as a middle mouse button and it will be used to start sPad launcher. If you want you can check it in Users manuals. I didnt read it but I hope that there you can find a proper explanation about functionality of this small button.
Good luck!

Problem with combo boxes and the reset button in certain situations

Hi Everyone,
i have a problem to make the reset-button function properly in an what-if analysis dashboard.
The dashboard uses two combo boxes that are not visible at the same time. In my application the second combo box only appears when a dedicated menu (label based menu button) has been activated.
So i have combo box 1 when menu A is active an dand combo box 2 when menu 2 is active.
After starting the dashboard initial values are fine. If you then directly change to menu 2 (seeing combo box 2 with
the correct default value) and press the reset button, the dashboard returns to the initial view, showing
the menu 1 with the correct default value. If you now switch back to menu 2, you will see, that the combo box 2
is empty (i.e. nothing selected).
I also tracked the destination cells for the combo box value results as well as the source cells for the "selected item" and the
destination cells for the "Insert Selected Item". All this values seem to be correct. Therefore i assume that
this is an issue of event handling. Maybe the combo box 2 does not refresh its selected value because it is already
invisible when the values are restored.
This case can easily be simulated by placing two combo boxes and a push button (that changes the visibility of
the combo boxes) and the reset button on the canvas.
Maybe someone can help. I am able to provide a test xlf, if neccessary.
Thanks,
Oliver
P.S. I am using Xcelsius SP4 (Version 5.4.0.0)

Hello Debjit_Singha_86,
thank you for your support. At the moment i have the following setting:
label based menu
- General: Insertion Type "value" from a list of ID's for the menu-items to a dedicated cell (current menu ID, say tab1!$A$1)
- Behavior: Selected item (position) fixted to item 1
hidden combo box
- General: Insertion Type "position" to a dedicated cell with the current choice (say tab1!$B$1)
- Behavior: Selected item (position) to the same cell (tab1!$B$1)
Can you give me a hint on how to connect the two components according to your solution, so that the label based menu sets the default for the hidden combox box only in case, that the reset button is pressed?
Thanks,
Oliver

Weird problem with mysql query and data table buttons !!!!

Hi,
I'm using jsc 2 update 1 on windows and mysql 4.1 . I have a page with a data table. One column of the data table contains "Details" buttons.
Source query for the table is :
SELECT tbl_tesserati.idtbl_tesserati idTesserato,

The tbl_tesserati.data_nascita is a mysql date field.
The click event handler code for the "Details" Button is:
public String btnModificaTesserato_action() {
        try{
            TableRowDataProvider rowData= (TableRowDataProvider)getBean("currentRowTesserati");
            getRequestBean1().setId_tesserato((Long)rowData.getValue("idTesserato"));
        } catch(Exception ex) {
            log("errore nella query",ex);
        return "dettaglioTesseratoSocieta";
    }When i run the project and open the page the table is correctly rendered and populated with some rows. But when i click on details button nothing happens, the page is simply reloaded.
If i set a breakpoint in the code line TableRowDataProvider rowData= (TableRowDataProvider)getBean("currentRowTesserati");the debbuger does not stop the code execution ! As if the button was never clicked!
I tried to modify the source query to :

Using this query everything works well !! The click handler works and the debugger too !!
I changed only the AND in OR !!!
I also tried to change mysql-x-x-connector driver but without solving my problem.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks

You'll find that it is more to do with the way MySql deals with dates than anything else! Depending on how your date field is setup, then try using a BETWEEN statement for those 2 lines in your first query e.g.
AND ( tbl_tesserati.data_nascita BETWEEN ? AND ?)
The date column needs to be in the ISO format to work. If you examine your second query output, you might discover that the output is only going to refer to one parameter (probably the OR one). Did you manage to view the output logs from the application server? You would have got an idea from there with a message like stating a conversion error'.
Alternatively, you could try using the to_days() function and convert it directly to a number which would be a lot easier to deal with. For example:
AND to_days(tbl_tesserati.data_nascita >= ? )
AND to_days( tbl_tesserati.data_nascita<= ? )
Or try the BETWEEN version with to_days() and see what you get.
More info about date formatting (v5) here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_to-days
Before I forget, sometimes you may need to treat dates as Strings rather 'Long' as you did.
As a matter of interest, did you try your query in a different piece of software?
If my queries are a little more complicated, I tend to try MySql queries out in the free MySql query browser and also double check in another to verify certain issues. I found it easier to develop SQL in a seperate program then import the final version to JSC making the required modifications for parameters.

Satellite 5200-903: cooling problem error message

few minutes after booting my Satellite 5200-903 (xp home sp1)an error message apears: "Problem with the cooling system, shut down your system and send it to the service" (it's a free translation from German..) I installed a temperature checking tool, the software shows cpu temperature of about 60C, however I do not hear the fan..
Can someone help?

Hi
You have a good chance that it's only a cooling module.
Generally such warning message appears because the CPU cooling module cannot cool the CPU properly or it doesn't work.
However, the best way is to contact the Toshiba service partner in your country. Ask the guys for the opinion and I'm sure you will get a proper answer.
Good luck

Logitech Headset 30 and Satellite 5200-903

Hello,
i want to use a logitech headset usb30, but it don't work with the Satellite 5200-903. What can i do? The operating system is Windows XP with SP2. When i connect the headset with a usb-port, it doesn't run.
Thanks for any Answer or Tip

Hello
I don`t know if there is some software that must be installed but you should check all Sounds and Audio devices properties. Please check also the Volume control if there is option mute activated.
Volume control dial at the front side of your notebook should also not be set to minimum level.

Satellite Pro C650D - Problems with audio and game controllers

Hi,
I have recently had problems with my microphone and speakers/headphones as well as game controllers.
The microphone sometimes stops working when on Skype for example, but most of the time works fine again when I restart the pc.
The speakers are sometimes still working when I plug in headphones.
Some of the sounds are still coming through the speakers where as some coming through the headphones.
I have a usb game controller which also did not work any more properly.
If I assign the buttons in the program they do not work in the game.
All these device are in the device manager in one group which makes me think that it is some kind of dodgy annoying update that messes around with them.
Does any body have similar problems or know what to do best?
Cheers
Laurin

Hi
Can you please post some details about the notebook model and the system you are using?
Regarding the sound/mic issue:
>The microphone sometimes stops working when on Skype for example, but most of the time works fine again when I restart the pc.
Are you talking about internal or external mic? Does this happen only using Skype?
In your case I would test the mic using different applications to ensure that this is not a Skype related issue.
>The speakers are sometimes still working when I plug in headphones.
I recommend checking this thread:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=65295
The user has had an similar issue but this was related to settings in Realtek HD Audio Manger.
Her wrote:
+In the top right corner, there's a little yellow folder called "Connector Settings" in my version.+
+There, I could finally reactivate the setting "Enable pop-up dialog, when device is plugged in".+
+So now when I plug in an external speaker or headphones, it pops up and I select the option "headphone" (instead of "line-in"), and then the sound comes out only through the headphones/ext.speaker.+
Regarding the game controller:

I dont think its notebook problem in my opinion you should ensure that the controller is compatible with games you are playing and would also recommend checking some info providing by manufacturer of the game controller.

Satellite 5200-903: Mini PCI Card doesn`t work

Hello,
I am a user of an:
Satellite 5200-903: P4-M 2.2/256+256 DDR/60GB/15T SXGA+/DVD-R-RW/nV FX 5600/cPad/WIFI ready/XP
My computer is equipped with an Toshiba Wirless lan Mini PCI Card.
I installed the card a few years ago - everything worked wonderfull.
At the beginning of 2006 I installed a new operating system (XP Pro + SP1, same system as before) because it was necessary.
I installed all driver for the W-Lan Card, obviously the card worked in the correct way (no driver incompatibility or other problems).
But, and thats the reason of this topic here. It isn`t possible to connect my card to any Hot Spot. I tried it with 2 different access points, but the result is the same. "No connection Point found".
Has anyone any idea what to do or in which direction I could look for the failure? Is there maybe any special Software necessary (I couldn`t remember, that in my last installation I had needed special driver or software)
If further informations are necessary, please inform myself.
(sorry for the terrible english, but it isnt my first language.)
THX for your help

Hi,
thx for the hints. But unfortunately none of these solved my problem.
1. I checked my device Manager, it`s shown a Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini Pci Card
2. The device is activated, with no problems
3. My wireless activation switch on the left notebook side is activated (led lights yellow)
4. Pushing the Fn+F8 Button results nothing
(wenn i press the combination during the Notebook switch is off - i got the message "wireless connection is deactivated, please activate")
What have to happen, when pushing the Fn+F8 Button during the wireless switch is activated? Is there any message on the screen?
Concerning the installed driver, how could I check what type of card is installed in my notebook. I know, that there a two types of driver and card existing, toshiba and atheros.
But, if the installed driver causes no problems I guess the right driver is installed.
Thx for any further Idea...

How to install wireless on a Satellite 5200-903?

Due to a very bad virus I recovered Windows on a Satellite 5200-903 of a friendly businessman. But back home he saw: no wireless LAN could be used... It seems, that cause the WLAN-switch was "off" no WLAN-driver was installed/recovered...
Now he wants to come to me again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow - and I MUST know, how to install everything until then... he also will bring me his router, so I can configure everything for him on the notebook AND router (WPA, if possible).
But I found TWO drivers: one was a direct download of a small file of "Agere" - wlesslan-xp-7620390.zip
The other is from "Atheros", and the download is a links to another website "Toshiba EMEA - Wireless LAN Driver Portal" http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads , where I have to identify the WLAN adapter... But: on the first download-site (I mean BEFORE redirected to "Toshiba EMEA") there is at the list "Model" NOT any Satellite 5200.
Which driver is correct? Are there different WLAN-adapters in the 5200-903 series? Is it possible to find out the adapter model BEFORE he gives me the Notebook?
And in the list of drvers for the 5200-903 there was a download "WLAN hotkey" wlkey-xp-2003.zip ? Do I need that too? Do I need any other things?
And does such an "older" WLAN-Access work in another way than the integrated WLAN of a centrino e.g. ? I just know how to log into a WLAN with newer notebooks: button "wireless networks" on the right buttom oft windows, then chose the WLAN name to connect and type in the key, if needed.
Please help me, he lives 100 miles away from me and has not much time, he comes again to me just for that matter, and of course he was not amused when he returned home and couldn't connect to the internet... and he's an ABSOLUTE noob in technical things, so I cannot tell him how to do it on his own and need your help quickly.
Thanks a lot!

Hello Herb
I just want to make the whole story short and simply. After installing OS install drivers for hardware components. According the notebook specification for Satellite 5200-903 it is WLAN ready model and I do not know which WLAN card is inside. You friend should have info about that.
If there is Atheros WLAN card the right driver you can find HERE
After driver installation install all Toshiba designed tools and utilities starting with COMMON MODULES. It must be installed at first. WLAN-hotkey utility is important because using FN+F8 key combination you can enable/disable WLAN card.
WLAN software (Atheros WLAN client utility) is not necessary because for WLAN you can use WXP WLAN settings. You can use it if the WLAN card is activated properly.
So I hope you will set WLAN properly and if you need more assistance please write again.
Bye and good luck!

btw: I'm sorry for my bad english

Hi
Well, sorry but I cant give you a proper answer for your question.
The fact is that the notebook screen is a expensive notebook part.
You should contact the Toshiba service partner in your country and ask him for the replacing costs.
Furthermore I have found this page where you can find the compatible screen.

Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop

I'm surprised that there isn't an Active X control that can do this more
easily? Would
be curious to find out if there is - although we aren't really embracing the
use of
them within Forte because it locks you into the Microsoft arena.

Subject: Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop
I am just curious as to other people's experiences with the ListView
widget when elements in it are set to be draggable. In particular, I am
currently trying to design an interface that looks a lot like Windows
Explorer where a TreeView resides on the left side of the window and a
ListView resides on the right side. Upon double clicking on the
ListView, if the current node that was clicked on was a folder, then the
TreeView expands this folder and the contents are then displayed in the
ListView, otherwise, it was a file and it is brought up in Microsoft
Word. All this works great if I don't have the elements in the ListView
widget set to be draggable. If they are set to be draggable, then I am
finding that the DoubleClick event seems to get registered twice along
with the ObjectDrop event. This is not good because if I double click
and the current node is a folder, then it will expand this folder in the
TreeView, display the contents in the ListView, grab the node that is
now displayed where that node used to be displayed and run the events
for that as well. What this means, is that if this is a file, then Word
is just launched and no big deal. Unfortunately, if this happens to be
another directory, then the previous directory is dropped into this
current directory and a recursive copy gets performed, giving me one
heck of a deep directory tree for that folder.
Has anybody else seen this, or am I the only lucky one to experience.
If need be, I do have this exported in a .pex file if anybody needs to
look at it more closely.
Thanks in advance.

Problems with Customer Service AND unexplained charges!

I've been with Verizon for I-don't-know-how-many years, and through the years you are bound to have a few problems here and there but some of the problems are just ridiculous! It's also the same reocurring problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was with Alltel first, before it was bought out by Verizon. The years I was with Alltel, I didn't have near as many problems. It seems EVERY time I do the smallest change or something to my phone or bill, I get a ridiculous amount of charges that I was NOT aware of, nor told about... EVEN IF I ask "So this isn't going to change my bill, or there will not be any unexpected/unexplained charges that I don't know about?"... BUT not matter how many times I ask... and NO matter how many times I am told "no"... there always is. For example.... last year, I updated and signed a new 2 year contract and purchased the first Driod. Before, my 30 day warranty was up, I was having problems with my Driod, and decided to send it in and get a new one. Before I did this.. I called customer service to make sure there would be no interuption in my bill, and there wouldn't be any unexpect charges, and there would be no difference in anything. I was told there was not, and once I recieved my new phone, just send it in and nothing would be changed. Of course, when I get my bill.. I see I was charged $500 for the new phone. It was explained to me that my credit card was reimbursed (which I never check that card, because I never used it expect to purchase the phone) and that I was recharged for the new phone, since it was a new phone. So I had to fork out the $500 (on top of my bill) and then wait months to get the $100 rebate card. Months after that, I "assumed liablity of my line" because I was on a plan with my family. I decided to have my own line, so I "assumed liability." I was not told that when I did that, I "renewed" my contract date. So I just added 6 more months to my 2 year contract. Was NOT told about that! Then again...... I was recently having problems with my Driod (the screen went black and would not come back on.) I had to turn on an OLD motorola razor, so I would not be without a phone for two days while I was waiting on my phone to come in. As soon as my phone came in, I had my Droid turned back on. I recieved my bill recently, and my bill was $200 over what it normally should be.... so I called in... apparently, when I had my phone replaced, they dropped off my data package and when I recieved my replacement driod, they never put it back on. So I was being charged for alllll my data usage... again I was NOT told about this. I wasn't even aware that they had dropped off my data package, and when/where did they get the authority to do that??? These are just a FEW of the problems that I have had.................................
Does anyone have these reoccuring problems!?

I understand that my bill can be viewed online, and I do view it fairly regularly, so if there are any unexplained charges, I can call Verizon asap. The problem does not come from me not understanding my bill, but from customer service. I have been with Verizon for a very long time, and it is a continuing problem. Where did Verizon get the 'OK' to drop my data package off my plan? Who authorized that?
After calling Verizon and trying to find out the problem, the gentleman told me that when I activated on old phone while I was waiting on my new Droid to arrive, my data package was dropped off and I "should" have been told about that. When I reactiviated my new Droid, I "should" have called and had them restart my data package. I was not aware that when you activate an old phone that data plan is taken off your plan. In all my years of having cell phones, I never make two years with one phone. I have always, at one point, had to turn on an old phone, and my data package has NEVER changed. Why would I have my data package dropped and why would I have to call Verizon to have it restarted. I would never know to do that unless I was TOLD that my data packaged HAD to be re-added when I recieved my new phone, but I was never told of that.
All of that is beside the point, the point is, Verizon was never given the authorization to change my plan. Never. My bill was taken care of and readjusted, and I am thankful for that. It does not change the fact it is always a hassle with Verizon Customer Service and I am always the one having to PROVE that I am not at fault, or that I was NEVER told of certian things. EVERY TIME I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, I AM TOLD "I'M SORRY, THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT."
"they should" does not help my bill with the extra armount of charges.

Problems with dropped calls and no reception on Samsung Continuum

My mother and I both purchased a Samsung Continuum in late March 2011, and have experienced the same problems with the phone. The device drops at least 2-3 calls per day, often on the same conversation; we have not found that location or time of day makes a difference. The phone freezes up frequently, even if no apps are running in the background. We lose our 3G network reception frequently, and cannot access our texts, emails, or the internet. The screen saver kicks in even when we are actively dialing a number, or typing in a text message. The overall performance of the phone is also poor, and it is quite slow much of the time.
We have raised this issue several times with a representative at one of the Verizon stores, but he states that he can find no problem with the phone, and that these issues may not be covered under our insurance plan. None of my friends with non-Samsung phones are having the same problems with phone reception and performance. I am aggravated enough with these issues that I am considering reactivating my old Blackberry, which worked like a charm.
I am not upset that my phone has not been updated to Android 2.2. I just want the phone to perform as stated, and not fail at its primary function: making and receiving phone calls. I am not certain if these problems originate with the phone, Verizon, or Samsung, nor do I care. I just want to resolve these issues as soon as possible, or I will have to look at other alternatives.
Thank you.

If this doesn't work...now what??? I have a useless $400 plus piece of unreliable junk. My Motorola Razor was ions more reliable than this phone...very, very sad but true.
What carrier were you using with the Razor? AT&T? Same area?

Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

Hi all,
after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
Regards
Michael

First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

Problems with the richTextEditor and quotes

Hello
I'm having problems with quote chars and the richText
control's htmlText. When users enter quotes into the richTextEditor
control. The quotes breaks the HTML text, meaning it's no longer
well formatted. Is there an escape char that I need to use. Or do I
need to force some kind of refresh on the control prior to using
the htmlText string?

I have been using RTE in a content management system and
found a need to replace non-standard quote characters with proper
UTF-8 character counterparts. Curly quotes in particular are
problematic. Use a replace function to substitute non-standard for
standard characters.

Problems with .ARW files and auto toning

problems with .ARW files and auto toning
let me try to explain this because this has happened in past and never found a way to resolve but i lived with it
now that I have a Sony A7R the problem is more serious
Firstly i take pride it making the picture happen all in camera, i use DRO lvl 5 to get enough light, like when i'm shooting at dusk. DRO its like doing HDR but in a single file, it lightens the darks. in my camera i'm happy with results
but when I upload them to lightroom, they come out near black.
allow me to explain
lets say I import 100 images
i double check my preferences and everything is UNCHECKED when it comes to importing options, there is no auto toning, nothing.
as the images import i see a preview in the thumbnail which looks fine.
i double click on one to enlarge it, hence leave grid view.
for a brief 1 or 2 seconds, i see the full image in all its glory but than lightroom does something funny, it darkens the image
one by one as it inspects each image, if it was a DRO image it makes it too dark.
to make this clear, the image is perfect as it was in the beginning but after a few seconds lightroom for some reason thinks it needs to correct it.
how to prevent lightroom from doing this, i want the image exactly as it is, why must lightroom apply a correction>?
i think it has to do something with interpreting the raw file and lightroom applies its own algorithm.
but here is what i dont get.....before lightroom makes the change i'm able to witness the picture exactly as it was taken and want it unchanged..
now i have to tweak each file or find a profile for it which is added work.
any ideas how to prevent lightroom from ruining my images and just leave them as they were when first detected...
there are 2 phases...one is when it originally imports and they look fine
second is scanning each image and applying some kind of toning which darkens it too much.
thanks for the help

sorry thats the auto reply message from yahoo email.
i've disabled it now
thing is, there is no DRO jpg to download from the camera
its only ARW. so my understanding is when i use DRO setting, the camera makes changes to the ARW than lightroom somehow reads this from the ARW.
but then sadly reverts it to no DRO settings.
because i notice if i take normal picture in raw mode its dark but if i apply dro to it, it comes out brighter, yet when i d/l the image from camera to lightroom, which is an ARW - there are no jpgs. lightroom decides to mess it up
so in reality there is no point in using DRO because when i upload it lightroom removes it.
is there a way to tell lightroom to preserve the jpg preview as it first sees it.
its just lame, picture appears perfect...than lightroom does something, than bam, its ruined,.
what do i need to do to prevent lightroom from ruining the image? if it was good in the first place.
