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

    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 A300-1JH 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:

  • 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?

  • 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 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 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

  • AppleScript Application - Multiple buttons don't work with one script...

    Okay, so I need to control just about 22 buttons to make this project work. But. I still can't get 2 to work.
    Here is my script:
    on clicked theButton
      -- Preferences:
              if title of theButton = "Save" then
                             set Word1 to the contents of the text field "WordDefine1" of window "Preferences"
                        display dialog "Saved the words:" & return & "-" & Word1
      --  Process of word one:
              else if title of theButton = "Say1" then
                        display dialog "I hope I see this cuz then that button works. YAY!"
              else if title of theButton = "Check1" then
                        if Word1 = contents of text field "WordInput1" of window "iSpell" then
                                  say "If I can even see THIS, I am like in AppleScript heaven. BOTH buttons work!"
         end if
      end if
    end clicked
    So when I click the "Save" button, it displays the defined dialog. But the button "Say1" does absoulutely nothing. Same for the "Check1" button.
    I'm guessing I did something wrong here...
    Thanks in advance
    P.S. (I'm not actually using the actions see here for the last 2 buttons:)

    Okay, thanks so much, the buttonName script worked. This is part of what I have now:
    -- Preferences:
    if buttonName = "Save" then
      set Word1 to the contents of the text field "WordDefine1" of window "Preferences"
      display dialog "Saved the words:" & return & "-" & Word1
      --  Process of word one:
      else if buttonName = "Say1" then
      say Word1
    The diplay dialog line at the end of the "Save" button script works, but when I do the say button, it has an AppleScript Error, saying that the variable Word1 is not defined. But the display dialog thing works. What the heck.

  • Qosmio G20-127: Hotkeys & Fn buttons don't work with Vista RC1

    This problem is really annoying me. Neither the Hotkeys(play, pause, forward, record, brightness) nor the Fn Buttons work since I installed windows vista RC1.
    I need to find a solution for this issue. If anyone has experienced it please provide me with feedback.
    Also the ConfigFree seems to be incompatible with Windows Vista, if anyone knows a trick or two I'd be most thankful

    Hi Shaker
    There is no trick or two!
    Do you know that the Windows Vista RC1 is not an official end version and the RC1 version contains about 1500 bugs!
    Furthermore to use the Toshiba features like the FN buttons or the hotkeys you will need the Toshiba drivers. BUT you will not find any Toshiba drivers for the Windows Vista at this time.
    Why? Because the Windows Vista is not official on the market. Therefore if you want to use the Vista at this time on your notebook you have to use it without the Toshiba options.
    But Im sure that you will get the Toshiba drivers if the Windows Vista was fully developed and official to buy.

  • 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

  • Helpful and Solved buttons don't work with Safari

    Thanks, Kady. I tried from another account and it worked. I then temporarily deleted the following files:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    ~/Library/Safari
    ~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    ~/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    with no effect. And of course I can't reinstall Safari without reinstalling 10.4.3, which seems like too much trouble. Any other suggestions?

    Since we do have the same problem but also some additional infos I bump this thread in the hopes of getting some answers.
    The login script does run, but unfortunatly only when I start it manually. It does not run during login.
    The only purpose of the script is to map some drives and it works fine under XP. Where else can I find infos about the problem?

    Set colGroups = objUser.Groups  
    Pos = Instr(strDn,"OU=")  
    if Pos = 0 then  
        strOu = "" 
    else

  • 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?
