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.

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

Satellite A300 - multimedia LED buttons don't work if iTunes is minimized

Hi,
I own Satellite A300-1C9 (PSAJ4E).
Is it possible to let the "Play/Pause", "RW" and "FF" multimedia LED buttons work even if iTunes is minimized?
Because atm they only work if i actually working in iTunes and from the moment i minimize iTunes to taskbar it stop responding to play/pause etc!!
Thanks,
Jonah

Hello Jonah
I don't use iTunes and cannot comment buttons functionality with iTunes but what I know is that Toshiba don't offer notebooks with preinstalled iTunes and these buttons are, by default, designed to run with Windows Media Player.
You can use these buttons with other players, if possible but Toshiba don't support functionality with any other third part application. For instance, I use these buttons with Winamp and everything works perfectly.

Satellite A300 - inbuilt Chicony webcam won't work with Win Live Messenger

Hello
I just bought a *Satellite A300-1MC* (runs on Vista Home Premium), and downloaded Windows Live Mail And Live Messenger.
The inbuilt webcam won't work with Live Messenger ; and when selecting Tool, Audi + Vieo Setup in Messenger I get thye following message : "We are unable to run Audi Video setup".
The webcam works fine with the Camera Assisant Software.
I have tried : 1) killing the C.A. Software and starting Messenger ; 2) dowanloading a webcam driver from Toshiba website ; 3) Updating Windows Vista
None of the above work.
Any suggestion gladly received.....
Thomas

Hi,
Many thanks for the advice.
I have downloaded and installed ManyCam 2.3, then rebooted.
The ManyCam software works fine, and picks up signal from the inbuild webcam.
But Windows Live Messenger still doesn't pick up the camera. I can not start a Video call or go to" Video Audio setup".
I have Windows Live Messenger version 14.0.8064 (installed on Tuesday).
Funny enough, yahoo messenger works fine : it gets a signal from the webcam.
Conclusion : i think it is Windows Live Messenger that doesn't work properly for some reason.
I have ordered a new external webcam, in the meantime.

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 Pro 2100: Quick fix don't work with Win XP SP2

the quickfix drivers for win xp on my toshiba satellite pro 2100 doesnt work saying the drivers needs xp without service pack2.
Are there any drivers for winxp service pack 2?

Hi
The quickfixes (QFE's) are small Microsoft applications which close some security openings in the Microsoft products.
You can install such updates either automatically if the windows will search for updates or you can do it manually from the Microsoft site.
I think you have tried to install not QFE's but drivers which are not compatible with SP2.
Please take a look into the Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Update information which is available on the Tosh page and follow the guide lines

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:

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.

Satellite A300-1HV: Illumination button doesn't work

Hi Guys,
I recently bought a Satellite A300-1HV, and while in the store, the salesman showed me that it was possible to turn off the illumination behind the function/media buttons at the top of the keyboard. He seems to do this by simply pressing the first button (the mute button).
When I got the machine home I tried this several times, and it did in fact do as I expected (i.e. turned off the illumination). The manual describes the first button as the 'Mute or LED on/off' button. Later that night I tried the button again, but this time it acted like a mute button, and no longer turns off the illumination. Also, the second button (CD/DVD) no longer seems to function at all, although it does light up when pressed.
I've tried the Toshiba Assist software, and am able to turn off the illumination manually, but the 'Toshiba Button Support' seems to have no affect on either button. I assume that this would allow me to manually configure a program to run when I press one of the two buttons, but no matter what I ask it to run, it does nothing.
It's like there is some piece of software that should be running, driving the keys, that I do not have (or at least no longer have).
Any ideas?

Hi
You can turn this back on in BIOS.
You can access this menu by tapping the F2 key while turning the machine on.
Select the Advanced section and turn Illumination LED on.
Cheers

Dell laptop media keys don't work with iTunes 7.x

After installing the most recent version of iTunes (7.3), my media buttons on the front of my Dell Precisions M90 no longer work, unless iTunes is the active program. Same thing happened with my other Dell laptop. Anyone have a fix for this?

This has also happened to me. Any way to fix it?

Satellite L305D-S5895 - Functions keys and WLan don't work with Win XP

Hi,
first sorry for my english
I bought a Toshiba Satellite l305d s5895, with winXP, because I need software, but the function keys doesn't works.
So I need a driver, but i can't find it, and the internet wireless doesn't work.

>Where would one find this special XP BIOS?
In my opinion there is problem because most threads here are about European notebook models. so then come question from US. Toshiba Europe and Toshiba US don't work together and every of them is responsible for own models and offer support for country specific notebook models.
So here in Europe Toshiba has for most models offered two BIOSes. One was already on the Vista delivered notebooks. On download page Toshiba has offered BIOS for WXP. in most cases it was version 5.xx and this BIOS was designed to support Toshiba specific tools and utilities. For example, full FN keys functionality was available with this WXP BIOS only.
So if someone of you have US notebook model they should see how to find the solution with Toshiba US or US forum under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1
Bye and good luck!

Satellite P300 - Quick launch buttons don't work after Windows 7 upgrade

I upgraded my Satellite P300 from Vista to Windows 7 professional. Initially everything worked fine, now for some reason the inbuilt microphone and the speakers do not work. I subsequently found that none of my 'Quick Start' buttons work, ie I cannot turn them ON or OFF, so perhaps the quick start Mute button is OFF, hence no sound. A computer check of the Microphone and the Speakers confirm that they are working so I guess the Mute button is On, no sound.
Is there any way I can get the Quick Start buttons to work again or turn the mute button OFF so that I can get sound. The funny thing is the speakers work if I use Skype, but I cannot play a CD.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dr Lamp
Thank you for your reply. After upgrading from Vista to windows 7 from the disc everything worked fine, a month later for some reason the sound just stopped. When I play a CD or select music from the computer and double click on the speaker icon I can see the music playing but there is no sound, it is muted, but why I do not know.
It is interesting that you Added Vista stuff because when I had Vista everything worked fine, I just didn't like it much. As I am a novice how did you add it. If I add something, does it run alongside Windows 7 or does it replace some bits. The reason I ask is that in Windows 7 the courser jumps around in Word making writing letters difficult, I have to disable the pointer when writing which is a pain.
Looking forward to hearing from you and thanks for your help
