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

Go to Control panel, software and verify that the programs are installed. Now uninstall them. After you have done that you can reinstall them from the HP Backup and Recovery manager. You can either do it from an F10 key during the startup of your laptop or from the HP Recovery CD set that you (should) have made.
See this HP web support document for information on how to restore the software.

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.

Sound quick launch button doesn't work when i installed windows 8 in my hp pavilion dv3z notebook

1. Product Name and Number
hp pavilion dv3z notebook pc
2. Operating System installed (if applicable)
windows 8
3. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
installed windows 8
when i installed windows 8 in my hp pavilion dv3z notebook pc, the quick launch button of volume is always red and the sound is mute....the driver for quick launch buttons and driver for sound is also up to date....can you please help me?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

When installing the audio driver, was it installed by following the prompts or in compatibility mode as outlined here?
Based on the Software and Drivers page for this unit, the unit was not tested and certified for Windows 8. This means that some functionality may not be the same since the unit was not designed for Windows 8. See this site for information and to find out if it has been tested for Windows 8.
If the sound driver has not been installed in compatibility mode, then I recommend using the Windows 7 64bit driver found here and using the linked steps above to install it in compatibility mode.
Let me know what happens.

Hi lustyln,
I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
For reference, here are your product specifications:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282
I hope this helps.

"Archive" and "View" buttons don't work after folio update

Hi all,
I have a subscription to the professional edition and I have built a custom viewer app for Android. I have built about 10 folios and at first download all is ok, the folios are displayed without problems and the app works fine except for one issue: "Archive" button don't work, when I tap on it, near folio cover, nothing happens, the folio does not disappear from folios list.
But the serious problem occurs when I perform a folio update from Folio Producer ('Update content' from adobe dashboard DPS): both "Archive" and "View" buttons stop working, nothig happens when I tap tap on them and I am forced to uninstall and reinstall the application on tablet (.apk file) to see folio changes in my custom viewer.
This is very annoying as well as time expensive.
Tablet is Samsun Galaxy Tab SII with Android 3.2.
Any help is appreciated.

To the best of my knowledge, the SII is a smartphone and not a tablet device, and the official claim is (correct me if I'm wrong) that DPS on Android is corrently tablet only.
Anyway, it seems strange to me so checked and found out that even though the DPS apps are not available when you search for them in the Play Market of a smartphone you can still force load them to the phone and run them.
I've done it on both a Samsung SIII running Android 4.0.4 and a Samsung GT-I9070 running Android 2.3.6 (I currently don't have a device running Android 3.2)
The interface is so small that it's hardly possible to use it, but it works.

Several apps don't work after I upgraded OS today

A few of my apps no longer work after the upgrade. They just give a blank screen. Who should I be reporting this issue to?
Thanks

Satellite U500-1F5: eco and FN buttons don't work after BIOS update

Hi everyone,
I hope i can find a solution for my problems in here.
I bought a new Toshiba Satellite U500 (PSU9ME),
I am updating my laptop regularly whenever i receive alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center.
Last week I received an alert to updat the BIOS and i did it. since then i noticed the following problems:
1. eco utility is not working, and when i tried to uninstall it it says (BIOS unsupported)
2. the on screen funtion buttons that appear on the top of the screen when you press the Fn button does not apear anymore
3. the touchpad lock and unlock button does not work and even pressing Fn+F9 doesnot lock it
I hope u can give me an answer regarding my problems,
I already downloaded the latest updates for the eco and value added packege from toshiba site and installed them,
BUT
didnt solve any of my prob
still eco utility is not working. The msg (unsupported BIOS), appear when i run the update.
The function buttons bar on the top of the screen not working ( even after i uninstall the toshiba value package and re-install the latest one) and the touch back lock/unlock button also is not working.
I hope Toshiba can find me a solution, coz I dont have the time to go the service center
Model U500-1F5 PSU9ME00D00XAR
Windows 7 (64)
Thanx in advance

Hello
At first just one comment:
*I am updating my laptop regularly whenever i receive alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center.*
Thats nice but definitely not necessary. When the system runs well, don't touch or change anything. Maybe sounds stupid now but I recommend you to remove TEMPRO from the system. Believe me you don't need it. I have 2 years old Satellite A300 and still original BIOS. It runs perfectly and I don't want to make risk and change anything. Since last month I have Satellite U500-1EX and will do the same. Tempro is already removed and I am happy with factory settings.
All you have done is OK but at least you can try to reinstall whole OS now using HDD recovery option (F8 at start-up) to see if everything will works well again. sorry but if this will not help I think you need BIOS downgrade to old version.

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 P300 - Value Added package doesn't work after computer restart

Hi,
I have got Toshiba Satellite P300 PSPCCA running windows vista ultimate 64x. I can not get my soft touch button working. I downloaded latetest TVA Package and installed it. After installation it asks for restart but I dont restart my laptop and I just perform Restart Flash Card and my soft touch button works all good which is mute, media player,etc. but once I restart my laptop it stops working.
I have tryed uninstalling and reinstalling software but no luck. I have read in toshiba forum about running CCleaner and do fresh installation but still have same problem.
Does any of you know how to fix it.
BTW i have got AVG internet security software on my system but have have added toshiba folder to exclude from realtime scanning just in case if its causing problem but no luck. I have searched qurantine folder and its nothing in there.
Please help me to get my soft touch button working.
Thanks.
Regards,
Jay

Hello Jay
I agree with Akuma. All you can do is to remove preinstalled VAP from the system and install latest version again. Why you didnt follow instruction to restart notebook after VAP installation?
I have installed VAP several times on my Satellite P200 and Satellite A300 without any problems but after latest version installation I have restarted notebook immediately. The installations procedure was finished and needed processes started in the background. I presume this is the problem on your Satellite P300.
If nothing helps the last step is to install OS again using recovery installations DVD. After doing this you will have clean preinstalled OS and everything will work well again.

Volume buttons don't work after installing ios 7.0.4

I have an Iphone 4 (MC603B/A) and after installing IOS 7.0.4 the volume buttons and the mute switch don't work. Also, if I receive a call or a message I don't get any sound.
There is no sound either if I play a video. At the same time, the alarm does work and the voice in the GPS works also.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks

I have exact the same problem as you! Soon I will go to an Apple Genius Bar. When I got the solution, I will tell you!

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.
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
Try to download and install Toshiba Accessibility and Controls (Driver).

Some Apps don't work after an upgrade IOS to 6.1.1

Description of the problem with my iPhone 4 after an upgrade from iOS 5.1 to 6.1.1:
Some Apps try to start but stopped immidiatly.
The issue for my case:
Try to find your App trough the App Store on your iPhone.
The status of this App should be open. (but when you try to open it, it won't !!!)
Use the main button to go back to your App and delete it.
Go back to Apps Store and reinstall your App.
Check the progress of the installation.
When the install is done open your App again and it should be working again.
Best regards,
Schotel

Try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
