Satellite P305-S8820 - FN key not working after clean install of Windows 7

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8820. I recently did a clean install of Windows 7. I have loaded the Toshiba value added driver pack and the trackpad driver but still cannot get the trackpad or the FN key to work.
Any ideas?

Hello John
You are like other millions other users and what you can read is relevant for you but sometimes it works a little bit different. For you it can be useless but sometimes it helps. Fact is that this utility is offered for some notebook models.
Generally speaking you are right and after VAP installation the job should be done but Ive faced the same problem in the past. Sometimes it works well and sometimes not. You will not believe me but in the past I used stuff for Satellite P300 to get all stuff working on Satellite A350. I cannot explain why this happen and it sounds crazy but it is the truth.
You can also try to play a little bit with VAP installation. Try to install VAP for A300/A350/P300. Generally speaking it is the same and if this will not work well you can remove it from the system.
Launcher for flash cards? It must be listed in MSCONFIG > startup > TcrdMain.exe

    I have a problem with a Satellite A210-103. After installation of Toshiba Value Added Package (Flash Cards Support Utility not available for A210), reboot, restarting Toshiba Flash Cards and pressing the FN key several times the problem still exists.
    It must have other reasons why so many user have problems with the FN keys.
    John

    I have searched for A200 and A210 in the Toshiba sections of Equium, Satego, Satellite and Satellite Pro but their are no Flash card support utility. In the details of the "Value added package" are the words:
    "TOSHIBA Flash Cards provides the Hotkey function and the launcher function that starts the Hotkey function and launches the other TOSHIBA utilities"
    So I think it's useless to search for this utility. It's more important for me to know which files (like name of the launcher program) must be started to use the FN keys.

  • F12 key not working after i updated my windows to windows 8 pro

    i am having hp notebook 15-r203tx
    i upgraded my windows to windows 8pro and my f12(WIFI) key is not working... i even tried to install the given drivers available on your website but still the wireless drivers are not even installing... eventhough bluetooth is working properly...
    so what should i do??
    kindly help me please

    @aslamkhn317,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support site.  If your system was not originally configured with Windows 8 pro as an option you may have driver issues.
    If this is the case you will need to restore the system to the originally supported OS.
    Please check to see if the systems support website to see if it offers drivers for the pro version.
    HP Notebook - 15-r203tx - Software and Drivers
    From what it shows you system came with FreeDOS 2.0. In this case you will need to contact Microsoft for support for your Operating System and drivers.
    Thank you again for posting and have a great day.

  • Mail search not working after clean install of 10.5.4 on new 20" iMac

    Apple Mail search is not working. Search on "subject line" works, but search on "entire message" does not. For example, searching with "parking" yields NO results, and there are many messages with the word "parking" in their body in the mailboxes. It happens with both "In Box" and "All Mailboxes" checked.
    What's going on?
    I did a clean install of Mac OS X on a 20" iMac using the Install disk shipped with the machine. Then I ran Software Update. Still, the problem happens, on a clean baseline system.
    Argh.

    I've had this problem since Tiger. Various solutions have been posted, but none have worked for me. It really cripples Mail--I've used emails as my personal database for years, kind of a history log, which worked great in Eudora but Eudora isn't being supported anymore.
    After updating to X.5.5, I can search "entire message" for "All Mailboxes" and find everything including emails in the mailbox I was viewing (often finds 60,000 occurences, but doesn't take very long--it's just incredibly tedious to find the one I want from such an enormous set of results). I can also find everything using Spotlight, outside of Mail. But if I am looking at any mailbox, like Inbox, search "entire message" never finds anything at all. Searching for subjects etc works fine.

  • Lightroom 4 is not working after clean install

    Hi!
    I have a cloud subscription. Now I've bought a new Mac Pro, installed all applications I need (Premiere, AE, Photoshop) and finally LIGHTROOM 4, but it's the only app that will not work. It always says something like "There is a problem between changing the modules". I can't see any Folders or Pictures.
    I've de-installed everything, installed new many times in different ways, but always with the same result.
    Any ideas? I'm pretty lost, because I've organized more than 10.000 Photos with it.
    My System:
    Mac OSX 10.8.2 with latest Cuda drivers. As told before, all the other Adobe Apps are working perefectly.
    Meanwhile Lightroom seems lost it's Cloud Connection... it want's a Serial now when I start the Programm
    Any ideas are welcome, thanks in advance!
    Best regards!
    ANDY

    Hey ANDY,
    Lightroom has to be installed through the Adobe Application Manager to license properly as part of Creative Cloud. Did you install it through Adobe Application Manager after uninstalling- from the shortcut in the Applications folder?
    I found this doc for the modules error:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/error-changing-modules-lightroom.html
    I would be curious if you get the same result in a newly created admin account?
    10.7 http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4600
    10.8 http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
    If it doesn't happen in the new admin acocunt it might be something here:

    Hope that helps,

  • Touch doesn't work after clean install of Windows 7 Professional

    I have an IQ526t.  I did a clean  install (remove drive/repartition/format drive) of Windows 7 Professional, and now the touchscreen feature doesn't work.  I've been on forums here and at Mirosoft, downloaded various drivers, rebooted multiple times, etc....no luck.  I get the sound, but no response.   Thoughts???

    Hello bmarkj,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that you have removed the recovery drive and installed Windows 7 by not using the OEM version that came with your computer. You have a couple options here, first you can download and install the HP Support Assistant and let it download and install the software and drivers that came with your computer. You can alter the settings so that the updates are manually done giving you control over what gets updated and what does not. Or you can download and install the drivers and what software you want from HP TouchSmart IQ526t CTO Desktop PC Drivers page. The choice is yours.
    ***NOTE: Be warned that there is software that come with some of the computers that is ONLY available from the recovery drive so you may not see everything you are used to seeing. The only way of recoverying this software is through the HP Recovery Discs.
    I hope I have addressed your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • CS2 Premium not working after re installing on Windows Vista

    I reformatted my computer and re installed CS2 Premium in a new laptop with Windows Vista; however, when trying to open one of the applications such as Photoshop it says "user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid." Adobe does not offer tech support for CS2 anymore so my only hope is your expert information. Thank you.

    I got the same problem with my CS2. I recently bought a new computer which is windows vista 64 bit, and I tried to install my old CS2 on it and every program gave me that error message when I tried to run them. I called customer support, and the answer is the same, they dont support CS2 anymore and they expect you to buy their CS4. I mean I spent $$$ on it 2 years ago and you tell me to spend another $$$ to buy it again? This is purely insane.

  • Some keybaord keys not working after suspect virus on Tecra A

    Apostrophe, delete, semicolon and end keys not working after a suspected virus attack. I found record of the same problem on the net but apparently this guy fixed his problem after he found scroll lock or num lock on.
    This is not the case here but there is something going on with numlock - register shows 2 and not 0. change to 0 but when reboot back to 2 again.
    Suspect changed back by bios. I thought i couldnt get to bios because DEL key not working but found ESC works.
    Tried to reset default values for bios but then cannot save and exit as this required the END key to work.
    I was running XP at the time of the (suspected) attack and could not rectify the problem so put the computer back to the OEM status which i hoped would help - it did not, same problem so rather than install all the software on the computer again with XP i upgraded to Windows7 - fresh install.
    Still keys do not work - it was a real pain to start with as my computer was set up to ctl+alt+del to log in and i had to do this with on screen keyboard - XP - this also showed that numlock was on before and after windows boot.
    The reason i suspect a virus - my wife was watching one of her tv shows on line from home country (another toshiba laptop) and i needed to use that laptop for something else so i asked her to use mine - later on we turned the laptops off and in the morning turned tham back on again, the other laptop with AVG virus protection flagged several hits and this one with (FAMOUS and completely up to date) Norton flagged nothing - once i got into it using on screen keyboard.
    Problems with this computer was found after scanning with a different antivirus.
    Anyway - i am left with 4 keys that do not work on my keyboard (actually they did work after i logged into the computer for the first time but i had to hold them in for a long time - and then next time i rebooted, not work at all and havent ever since)
    Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated, i have been working on this all weekend with no joy at all.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Xardas,
    I have essentially done both - tried Toshiba OEM status found on a small partition of the toshi hard drive - no good - then did a fresh install of Windows 7 - still no good
    You know - as cunning as it sounds - i cannot reload the default settings in BIOS as it requires the END key to work so i can Save & Exit - all i can do is Exit Without Save - i sort of feel snookered at the moment.
    Toshiba got back to me today and said that i have tried everything they would have (yeah for sure) and to take my machine into a service centre for a hardware check - yeah right on boys!
    Check out this guys post below found on Kioskea.net - getting close to a year ago...

    Hi there, I was hoping that you might be able to help me with the problem that I seem to be having with my Toshiba Satellite Laptop Keyboard too. For a few days now I havent been able to use a few of the keys on my keyboard, including (1) delete (the backspace key is still working though), (2) colon/semicolon, (3) apostrophe/quotation marks and (4) end (the home and PgUp and PgDn keys are still working though). Any suggestions?
    Identical to my problem....obviously this guy had the same problem as well...see below - same thread.
    yab - Feb 9, 2010 4:47am GMT
    hi did you ever figure this out? i have the same exact problem...
    However, i was not able to solve my problem the way this guy did - my scroll lock is not activated - it seems to work ok (on and off) i tested it using Excel to move around the cells.
    yab ms ml - Feb 9, 2010 7:57am GMT
    Nevermind. For me it was scroll lock. My apostrophe, semicolon, and delete keys are alive and working again. I hope you have the same easy fix.
    Incidently - never hear from the first guy again - probably ended up being his scroll lock.
    all sugestions welcome - sorry my smily face has no eyes -) guess why!

  • Security and privacy system preferences not working after Lion install.  What to do?

    Security and privacy system preference not working after Lion install.  Not sure if it happen with Lion installer or after updating. What to do?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Re: NB200-134 - FN key not working after upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate

    My FN keys of NB200-134 is not working after upgrading from Windows 7 starter to Windows 7 ultimate. I tried installing every drivers found on Toshiba website for my lappy but still it does not work.
    Help please

    Hi asalamk,
    The FN keys are controlled by Value Added Package and Flash Cards Support Utility. I think you have forgotten to install these tools
    You should check the Toshiba page again and download both tools. Start with installation of Value Added Package then restart your notebook. After this install Flash Cards Support Utility. Once again restart and all FN keys should work properly now.

  • 7 u j m keys not working after 10.8.1 upgrade, late 2008 aluminum Macbook

    That's all, these keys do not work after update/upgrade today. They were working fine right before i did the update and are not working now. If I hit the M ket a few times i do get some garbage. Help?

    Thanks, but still the same. It boot normally only if there isn't any usb device attach to the computer. I'm using usb mouse instead of bluetooth mouse and it happens not to boot normally like usual.
    The technician said it would be okay if any usb devices attach to the computer during the boot apparently it won't boot normally.
    Any alternative sir?
