Satellite A300-20P: FN keys don't work with Win 7

FN keys don`t work on win7 satellite A300 20P

Hi
I had the same problem on my Satellite A300 after Windows 7 installation. So I downloaded and installed Toshiba Value Added Package. It was pretty easy, just few clicks and one restart. What happened after restart? Yes, the FN keys works!!! :)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Pause, back, and fwd (F6-8) keys don't work with iTunes. [Windows 7 64-bit]

    All my other F# keys work (I can adjust the screen brightness, adjust the volume...etc) but my Pause (F8), Back (F7) and Fwd (F9) keys don't work with iTunes. Though they DO work with Windows Media Player.
    How can I get them to work with iTunes?
    I'm using Windows 7 64-bit on a macbook pro.

    Same problem here.
    I'm using Macbook late '09 + Windows 7 64-bit + iTunes 10.0.1.22 for Windows,

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Fn keys does not work with Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
    Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site ([http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT]).
    BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32 contained in this file: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080404121735.zip]
    After the successful installation of the operating system, I installed the "Value Added Package" ([http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-20080109135106.zip]) which contains the "Flash Cards Utility". In my understanding, the installation of the "Value Added Package" should enable the Fn keys usage.
    This doesn't seem to be true or not completely true.
    Here is what happens.
    - Before the installation of the "Value Added Package" all the Fn keys didn't work.
    - After the installation of the "Value Added Package", if the TCrdMain.exe process is running, all the Fn keys don't work.
    - If I remove the TCrdMain.exe from the startup and I reboot the PC, only some Fn keys work (Fn+ESC, Fn+F1).
    There is no way (or I didn't find a way) to make all the Fn keys working.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
    Thanx in advance,
    mme000

    I do not know for sure but it can be because of SP1. I have installed Vista Ultimate on A200 and all listed stuff (drivers, tools and utilities) from Toshiba support page.
    Does your installations Vista DVD contains SP1 or you have installed it on your own? If you install Vista Ultimate (without SP1) and all stuff from Toshiba support site following Installations Instructions order.

  • Keys don't work with firefox 5.0

    I uploaded Firefox 5.0 and now the Home, End, Page Dn/Up keys don't work! I need these on eBay. The arrow keys now send you all the way to the top or bottom of the page with no stops in between. I really hate it when you guys change things; there was nothing wrong with the previous version. Now I have to use Internet Explorer. Boo.

    No but what I have is on my this page at the top. (see profile for more pages)

  • Satellite P200-RT1 - FN keys don't work after downgrade to XP

    Hi
    I have a Satellite P200-RT1, PSPBOC.
    I have downgraded my operating system from Vista to XP.
    Now I am having a driver issue, I have installed all of the drivers for my computer. I have installed all of the HotKey utilities for my computer as well and I still have an issue. Some of my FN Key functions don't work. The ESC to F5 Functions work but all of the functions above there do not.
    I am really looking for the Display Brightness and Dimmer keys F6&F7 to work, if possible I would also like the F9 key touch pad enable/disable key to work as well, which as of right now they don't.
    I was wondering if there is a driver that I am missing and if so which driver is it. I have taken my computer into three computer shops now and no one can figure this out. Please Help ME!
    Thanks Ken.

    Hello
    It seems that your notebook is a Canadian model and therefore you can download the drivers on the Toshiba Canada website:
    http://www.toshiba.ca
    The problem is that I cant find Windows XP drivers on this website. :(
    The only way I know is that you try the drivers and utilities from the European website. Normally the models are very similar and maybe it works. Its worth a try.

  • 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 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 A300 The Touch keys are not working since I got it

    Hello!
    My sister bought this amazing laptop for me and since the date that I got it (5 months ago) , I was not able to use the touch keys on the top of the keypad. At first, I thought I was doing something wrong and that I needed to activate the, but I read the whole manual and I couldn't get an option to activate it. I am using Windows Xp professional with service pack 3. Please help me as soon as possible. I listen to music a lot while I work with my computer and it would save me a lot of time to get those buttons to work.
    Thanks in advance.
    Denise

    Hi!
    Thanks for your replies but in this case, it is not the Touch pad the one that it is not working. They are the touch keys that are on the top of the keypad on the right of the power on button. They are 6 of them. One seems to me for muting or unmuting the sound, other four are the regular play/pause, rewind, stops and forward button ant the other one has like the drawing of a music note. Do you know how to make them work?
    Thanks

  • Is there a reason the arrow keys don't work with ipad dock

    Is there a reason that the arrow keys appear not to work with the ipad dock? I can understand if the citrix app needs an update (would be great to use with excel) but it also doesn't work with numbers the mac app. Is there a reason they are on the keyboard if they are not for use? Safari they don't do scrolling but really wanted it for use with spreadsheets. Can anyone tell me if I just need to switch on something in settings?

    Hello there,
    Not as such it is the iPad dock. It would be very handy for spread sheets.
    Cheers

  • Letter keys don't work with Flash.

    The letter and number keys on my keyboard don't work when i'm playing Flash games. The arrow keys, shifts, spacebar, etc. all work, but the first letter or number that I press gets stuck down (functions like I was holding it down) for ~ 10 seconds, and then none of them work after that(even once that key is no longer acting as if it was held down).

    So i just had this exact same problem and worked for hours to find the answer. Space and arrow keys worked, but letters only worked one time. I bought a Lenovo Laptop that came with the program "GuardedID" pre-installed on it. It functions as a decoder for the keys when using flash based games and other things. So when i pressed the key for the first time on the games it would act as a number instead of letters, therefore making it not work. I searched on Lenovo's website in their forums and found the answer to be "delete GuardedID" It has an error in the program. I deleted it and my keys worked immediately in flash games. So if you have a program called "GuardedID" the answer will be to delete it. or if you have a similar program that changes your keys to a different code while on the internet, you need to get rid of it.

  • Some MacBook keys don't work with Entourage

    Entourage is not responding to the up/down arrow keys and the delete key with my new black MacBook. (Makes deleting a long list of email very frustrating.)
    If I plug in an external keyboard, however, they do work.
    I'm running Office 2004 with the latest auto-update.
    Anyone else have this issue? Thanks.

    Thanks. Actually, it looks like I just figured this one out.
    First, I guess I should point out that the arrow keys and the delete key work just fine in the other Office apps (Word, Excel) just not Entourage. And, no I wasn't trying to hit the keys at the same time.
    However, I just used Entourage and all of the keys seem to work now. It looks like what is happening is if I remove my Apple USB Keyboard, these keys on my laptop stop working (if Entourage is running during this.)
    If I close Entourage or restart my machine and never use the USB Keyboard, all is well.
    So, it's still weird and this definitely didn't happen with my 12" PowerBook but I'm glad I know how to work around this (restart Entourage)!
