Satellite P100-221: FN keys combinations don't work properly

Hello,
I have satellite p100-221 with preinstalled Win XP MCE. After one week of using my computer a problem with blue function keys appeared. fn-f1, fn-f2 and all the other fn keys combinations do not work properly. They seem to work, I can change the brightness, switch the touchpad on and off and so on, but no info icon on the screen appears. On the beginning while pressing the function keys combination the icons on the screen appeared. How can i solve this problem? Is it software or hardware related?
Thanks for all help.

Hi
I dont believe that this issue is related to hardware.
I would recommend updating the Hotkey utility.
On the Toshiba driver page I have found two different versions:

Your unit is Satellite P100-221 so I assume the further number should be PSPA6E.
Be sure that you use the right drivers for this unit.

Satellite A300-1G5 PSAG4E - Multimedia Buttons don`t work properly

My multimedia buttons don`t work properly any more. I`m talking abut the first 2 buttons (Mute and Media Player - buttons).
I just tried to reinstall VAP but it`s the same. I must say i can use Mute button but it won`t shows up that icon for mute.
The Media player button doesen`t work at all.
I just tried to search on this form for a sollution but i couldn`t find it.
All the rest of the buttons (play/pause, stop, next, previews) are working just fine.
As far as i remember 2 days ago all my multimedia buttons worked perfectly.
In this time i didn`t reinstalled OS or any other drivers.
I`m using the last version of BIOS (downloaded from toshiba website) and Windows 7 Ultimate. I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1G5 PSAG4E.
Can you give me some advices about that pls?

Satellite P100-221 - where can I buy it?

Hi,
I am looking for a shop in London with Satellite P100-221. Do you know where can I buy this model?

I dont live in London and Im also not from England but I can believe that you are not able to buy this notebook in London.
You will find in London definitely a notebook store. Am I wrong?
The guys should be able to order it from the Toshiba. The other possibility is to ask the Toshiba service partner for a notebook ordering.
Please visit the find the authorized service partner database.

Hi,
I solved this problem yesterday, I used low quality cable and it work fine. I was using very high quality cable and it was not working. I think it is because of the quality of the signal the high quality cable required a strong signal. By the way I I connected the low quality S-Video cable and it shows low quality picture on the TV but after I activate the TV out and it was shown on the TV I switched to the high quality cable and it gave me better picture quality.

Can not start up on my Macbook pro. All I get is a grey spinning wheel. Tried all the Startup key combinations and nothing works. I reset the NVRAM and nothing. I booted with start up disk , ran disk repair and all is ok. Tried to re-install OS but when I get to designating drive its blank. When I go to startup disk there is a "?" mark. When I restart under startup disk search for a drive it still comes up with nothing. Before I got the grey spinning wheel I had a locked screen. Could not move curser or click on anything. Finally just shut down. Thank you in advance for any help!

Shouldn't still have a 'beachballing'... if the drive is being found and the system is trying to boot from it but is having problems, I would suggest looking over ds store's user tip - Step by step to fix your Mac.
It's likely either something corrupt in your system files or a failing hard drive. But follow ds's steps until you find the cause of the problem.
Good luck,

Finder Window - command 1, 2, 3 or 4 key sequences don't work

Help with this one would be greatly apprecieated. In a finder window, command 1, 2, 3 or 4 key sequences don't work. In fact, command 2 sleeps the computer instead of displaying the icons in List View
Please help

Got it!
It's not Command-1 but Command-Alt-1, etc.
Did it change recently? I don't know...

My Satellite L675-S7016 freezes when I don't work with it 5-10 minutes

My Satellite L675-S7016 freezes when I don't work with it 5-10 minutes and only if plugged with power cable, on battery power no problem with freezing.
I switch off sleep options in power manager on all power profiles, but problem still here.
Who ever met the same problem? How to solve?

od, what computer do you have? Does it ever "unfreeze" or do you have to power it down? When does it freeze?

Cookies Don't Work Properly

OK, I've looked through this Forum carefully and tried everything.... Even though cookies for certain web sites (NYTimes, WatchGeeks) appear in Safari Preferenes they don't work, Why?
My settings are as follows: Block Cookies from Third Parties, etc.; Prompt from website one time only. The NYTimes cookie indicates Cache, Cookies & Local Storage. NYT cooke indicates Cookie. But every time I go from one page to another on their site, the sign-in screen re-appears. I'm using Last Pass to sign me in and I'm good until i go to another page. Then the same thing happens. With WatchGeeks, I'm prompted to sign it every time I return to the site...same problem.
I have deleted all cookies and started over, but that doesn't solve the problerm. Safari recognizes and stores the cookies again, but they don't work properly.This all started when I started to use 'Cookie" a cookie management program. But once this started, I uninstalled "Cookie'" and removed all traces of it, to no avail.
What's wrong? Can I do something in Time Machine to get me back on track? I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks!

Desktop SMS and Windows Mail don't work properly together

Hi
thought I would post there here as been having some issues with my Windows Mail but my desktop computer doesn't suffer same issues and on a Vista forum where I posted my problem a couple of very helpful told me who to try solving the issues.
One of them suddenly realised I'd said my laptop was a Toshiba and apparently the Desktop SMS and Windows Mail just don't work properly together so the person suggested unless I use it to uninstall it apparently amongst the technically trained its known that these two programs don't like each other and would explain why my desktop doesn't have the issue but laptop does.
After resetting the Windows Mail (tutorial on a vista site http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/) Touch wood don't be put off by vistax64 as site does both 32 and 64 and followed Brink's excellent resetting Windows Mail (didn't restore any mail) and then uninstalled Desktop SMS and touch wood no more mail issues as has been giving me problems virtually daily with marking draft emails as read/sent.
So had to click on forward then delete those bits and finish email to send it and touch wood since doing these two things as soon as send an email to draft or outbox get the number of emails in the brackets whereas before this wouldn't happen unless I closed the program then reopened it.
Hoping these solutions have fixed my problem and wanted to share it with anybody else who wants to read this thread and would recommend the Vista 64 site as they're all really helpful over there and speak in non technical terms for those of us not technically trained.
Debbie

I have marked this as answered as it was more a post to help others who may have experienced the same problem I did and didn't get a reply or just didn't know that this program could be the reason their Windows Mail has issues that can't seem to be resolved any other way apart from ignore them and hope they don't get worse.

TS3297 What do I do if music files purchased/downloaded for the iTunes store don't work properly?

What do I do if music files purchased/downloaded for the iTunes store don't work properly?

Buddhabeat...clicking on the "Report a Problem" button next to the song(s) in question, should open a drop-down list menu, that allows you to select the specific issue/area of concern that you are experiecing (or you can select a generic "My problem is not on the list" (or something to that effect). Underneath this drop-down menu box, there should be another message box where you can describe the issue/problem your having. Below this message box will be a "Submit" button...clicking on that will send your message to the Apple iTunes Store Customer Support Centre (you will see a confirmation message that your message has been sent), as well as receive an email notification from the Support Centre confirming your message has been received, a case number, and that you will receive an email response pertaining to the issue/problem you're having, from the Support Centre asap (usually within 24 hours). That's how it worked for me, anyhow.

The Proximity sensor don't work properly of ios4

hello! ive just update to ios 4 on my 3gs, and the problem is that the Proximity sensor don't work properly, when I put the iPhone near my ear it turns off the screen, but when I move it back from my ear it doesn't turn on...
i tried to restore, and at first the problem was gone, and now it's back...
is it a bug? I'm pretty sure my sensors are fine..
tnx!

I was having the same issue with my new iphone 4 with screen going dark when I lowered it during a call & not having access to the call or controls of the phone. I discovered the problem was the 3G case I was using on my iphone 4 (it happens to fit pretty well). When I removed the case the proximity sensor now seems to function properly. The 3G case must have been interfering with the sensor. I guess I'll be getting a new case. Hope this helps.

ID3v2 tags don't work properly on zen microph

I e-mailed tech support on this one, but it seemed like they spent 2 seconds reading it and then sending a template reply.
I have a lot of older mp3 files which I only used ID3V2 tags on, because that was the field with most info when right-clicking files in winamp.
When I try looking for a file which only has id3v2 tags, things don't work properly. Let's say I have this info in the id3v2 tag: "Mr.Artist - Mr. Track - Mr.Album".
Now let's turn the player on. Artists: "Mr.Artist" shows. When clicking on "Mr.Artist", "Mr.Album" shows. BUT, when clicking on the album, where the hell is "Mr. Track"? I only see blank space! I have to click "all tracks" and scroll my way to "mr. track" to find it.
This is a highly unneccesary hassle. I've updated the firmware, but that didn't do anything at all. I download a lot of unsigned, free music, which only has id3v2 information in it.
Id3v tags on the other hand, work just like they should.
Please help me out on this one. It would be greatly apreciated.Message Edited by Rognalf on 06-09-20070:57 AM
Message Edited by Rognalf on 06-09-2007:00 AM

From my own experience it seems that ID3v2 tags seem to cause problems like this with most mp3 players. I'm guessing because it's newer. I've heard that ID3v2 is more flexible but ID3v is more compatible.

Google maps don't work properly with ADF

Hi!
I have tried to integrate Google maps with ADF http://blogs.oracle.com/middleware/2010/06/integrating_google_maps_with_adf.html. This tutorial works good, but then I insert the same code in real ADF application Google maps don’t work properly, there are problems with zoom buttons, map doesn’t display right region but shows another one (does it with offset) etc.
Can be this issues connected with ADF Security? Or there are some other things in my project which doesn’t allow JavaScript to work correctly?

andrejs,
I just tried the tutorial (works fine) and the tutorial with ADF security (works fine). It seems to be something more specific to your application than anything else.
