Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E: Cannot get hotkeys working on Win XP

Hi,
I have a Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E which came with Vista on it, I have reinstalled it with Win XP Pro installed the relevant drivers from the Toshiba download page but cannot get the hot keys working.
I have installed the controls and control driver but this does not seem to work. Have seen a posting about 'common module' somewhere but can't seem to find any links to download it on the download page.
Can anybody help?
Many thanks
Iain

The Controls utility and the Controls driver allow you to customize and preset TOSHIBA special button settings. But these are not a FN keys!!!
You need to install the Hotkey Utility if you want to use the FN keys.
Further hint:
Its important that all Toshiba drivers and Utilities are installed in the right order.
On the Toshiba driver page you will find a txt file called installation instruction.
Please install all the drivers and tools in the order mentioned in this instruction!
Greetings

  • What internal HD can I use on my Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E-01700EN5

    I need to replace my laptop's broken internal HD. I was wondering, what internal HD can I get for Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E-01700EN5?
    The only one available for me to order for cheap is 250Gb large, but will my laptop support it? I had 80Gb previously.

    I don't understand why you think your notebook is old generation. Between your A200 and my A300 is not much difference.
    Both use the same HDD. My Satellite A300 has maybe other hardware platform and thats all.
    I am 100% sure you can use 250 GB HDD in your Satellite A200.

  • Satellite Pro A200: Card Reader does not work after XP installation

    Hi...
    I have removed Windows Vista from my Satellite Pro A200 in favour of XP Home.
    I'm much happier with the machine now but am unable to get any response from the Card Reader. There's no mention of it in the User's Manual that came with the machine.
    I can't find any reference to it in the Control Panel's Hardware Manager and nothing changes in there when I insert an SD memory card.
    I didn't have cause to try the reader prior to removing Vista, so I don't know if it ever worked... although I imagine that it did.
    Running a search for a driver in the download section didn't have any success and this forum has no direct answers.
    Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to get this to work?

    Hi
    I dont see any serious reasons why your card reader shouldnt run/function with installed Windows XP.
    What you need is the right driver.
    The Toshiba driver page provides all Win XP drivers and there is also an XP driver for the multi card reader.
    You need a Texas Instruments Flash Media Driver. This is a driver for your Bridge Media Slot.
    This slot lets you insert either a SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture card.
    Cheers

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro A200: Windows cannot find WLan

    Something's wrong with my laptop, I have Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 with XP Pro SP3...
    When I try to search for wireless networks using Microsofts program, it can't find anything, but TOSHIBA's ConfigFree can.
    You probably say, that well use Toshiba's software then - that's not possible, cause ConfigFree supports only WEP keys, but most of Wireless keys used here are WEP-TSK or something - not supported by ConfigFree.
    How can I make my Microsoft Windows to detect Wireless routers?

    I knew it, but I just had to make sure.
    I shall never install SP3 again.
    To all people, DO NOT INSTALL SP3!!
    Unless you don't have it allready preinstalled, in that case, it won't do any harm.
    Case closed.

    Card is recognized and visible in device manager, all drivers are installed, but no network available. System doesnt see any network. In addition I can't find and install proper TVAP which will allow me use FN+F8 combination.
    Can somebody help me please solve that problem?

    Hello, thanks for the advice.
    I have flashed the bios and also installed the latest driver. Now I can see my home network but the notebook now wants a WEP Key to continue. In the last few weeks i have connected 2 xboxs and 2 mobile phones to this network without any issues. Now I want to connect a notebook it is asking for this key and I don`t know what it is, or where to locate it.

  • 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

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Where to get new recovery disk?

    On Thursday of last week ended up with the Blue page of death, tried to use the product recovery disk and found to my horror it has a large crack in it .
    Can anyone tell me were I can upload a new disk from?
    Have managed at cost to get the laptop up and running but from windows vista have had to install windows 7 Originaly the laptop came with windows XP. Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Hello
    If your notebook was delivered with Windows XP, you cant order a recovery disk online. In this case you have to contact an authorized service provider in your country. The guys should be able to order a new recovery disk for you.
    Here you can search:

  • Low screen brightness on Satellite Pro A200 psae1 with XP

    I installed XP Pro with sp2 on this laptop and now when i power up the screen is really dull, so i have to put it into stand by and then turn on again and then the screen is fine. What could cause such a problem? All drivers are latest release. Please help as i have rolled out 30 laptops to our users and all are giving out to me!!!!

    I wonder if you have tried to set the display brightness to the higher level by using the FN+F7 key combination.
    The FN+F6 or FN+F7 combination decreases or increases the display brightness
    Usually the installed Toshiba power saver controls the different power modes and the display brightness to save the battery power.
    I would recommend checking this button functionality

  • Satellite Pro A200 PSAFCA: Need Lan and display driver for XP

    Hey
    please help me!
    I have just installed XP on my new satalite pro, but i have had trouble with the drivers.
    At the moment I have installed most but from this site i can't seem to find a driver that will help my network card, nor my video NIVIDIA drive...
    any suggestions would be very valuable

    The Satellite Pro A200 PSAFCA is not known to me. I know only the Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1, PSAE4 and PSAE7. So could you please confirm your Pro A200 series?!
    If you cannot find the single XP drivers on the Toshiba page I would recommend checking the LAN and the graphic chip which is installed on the motherboard and use the XP drivers from the chip manufacture.
    If you need an graphic driver I would recommend using the drivers from the www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com site

  • Memory upgrade on Satellite Pro A200

    Have two Satellite Pro A200 #PSAE1E-00T002EN laptops and wanted to know if I can upgrade the 2 x 1GB memory to 2 x 2GB?

    As I understand you request, you want to upgrade the notebooks memory to 4GB.
    Well, I think its not possible.
    The Satellite Pro A200 supports max 2GB RAM (2 x 1GB) so you will be not able to use 2 x 2GB modules.
    Best regards dude

  • Why doesn't any of the Function/Hotkeys work on Satellite Pro A200?

    I have been researching for almost two hours now and found no solution.
    What I would like to do is to be able to use the Fn Key for the hotkeys on the F0-F12 buttons, such as Fn+Esc to mute sound, or Fn+F6/F7 to adjust brightness on my screen. I am running Windows XP, that information is needed. The things I have tried so far was installing some of Toshiba Utilities, such as the Fn-Accessibility and Fn-esse, but they are still not working.
    I have no idea why they haven't been working since I first got my laptop. Please help! Thank you!!!

    I'm sorry about that, i thought this thread was undet the A-200 thread. Anywho I have the Toshiba Satellite Pro A200, i'm not quite sure of the model number...when i use SIW it says
    Version: PSAF4U-00D004 but that does not match any other models on this website...
    Also, i read in the forums that if you convert your laptop to XP when it was originally Visa you had to download many drivers to have access to all the hotkeys. All i want to do is to have the screen brightness adjustment hotkey, how can I do that?
    Somewhere in the forums said that I had to download the Power Saver Toshiba Utility driver and i have already done so but still does not work...None of my hotkeys work

  • Satellite PRO A200-1S1 with Windows 7 x32. Touchpad doesn't work

    Hi everybody
    I Installed Windows 7 on my Satellite Pro A200-1S1, retrieved all the drivers on Toshiba site, everything works fine (less than the web camera that didn't work even with previous s.o. XP or Vista...). But my Touchpad doesn't work at all.... No Fn+F9, no driver, nothing works. And in my control panel-device manager seems to be everything ok.
    Any suggestion?

    Hi
    Never had any problems with the touchpad using Win 7 32bit.
    I recommend installing VAP (value added package) and Flash Card Support Utility to get the FN button functionality. Then you could try FN + F9
    Both tools can be downloaded from Toshiba European driver page there you should choose Sat L500 series because I didnt find mentioned Win 7 software for A200 series.
    Check also the touchpad drivers which I found in L500 download area (Alps a Synaptics)

  • Cannot install WinXP on Satellite Pro A200 - No HDD

    Hi,
    Please can someone help me. I've just brought 52 Satellite Pro A200 laptops. They come with Vista pre-installed, but I want to wipe them and install Windows XP. However I have a big problem - when I put my XP CD in and boot from it and click Enter to continue, it tells me that the Installation cannot continue as Windows found no hard drives (although I can boot in Vista so I know the HDD are ok).
    Thanks for looking,
    Matt Courtman

    I too had the HDD problem. Its because there are no drivers on the XP CD for SATA hard drives. What you have to do is use some free software called NLite and merge the SATA drivers with the files off the XP CD. (It really is ace). Available at
    http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/nLite.shtml
    Read this page it tells you exactly how to do it.(
    http://news.softpedia.com/news/Install-Windows-XP-On-SATA-Without-a-Floppy-F6-47807.shtml). If I can manage it then anyone can. Using the NLite software you copy the contents of your XP CD to your hard drive. Then you download the SATA drivers (available from the tosh site), then you integrate the drivers with your XP CD files. Finally you create an ISO image and burn it to CD. When you then boot off your new CD and install XP, it detects the SATA drive. Hey Presto!!!
