Tecra 8000 on XP pro ... how to adjust brightness

Hi
I have recently purchased a Tecra 8000 with XP Pro installed.
Unfortunatly the LCD appears too bright but I can find no way of adjusting it.
I understand that there is a display utility for adjusting toshiba laptop brightness.
Can someone tell me if there is one for XP and if possible direct me to it
cheers
Michael

Hi
Usually the key combination FN+F6 and FN+F7 decreases or increases the display brightness.
But this works only if the Toshiba drivers are preinstalled. So check firstly if you have installed all necessary drivers and utilities on your notebook.
Do you know where to find the necessary drivers on the Toshiba page?

  • How to adjust brightness in windows vista?

    I can't figure out how to adjust the screen brightness. On the mac osx install disc 1 which supposedly has all the drivers, it did not hve the mac keyboard driver or the nvidia graphics card driver either. I found latter on the internet without much hassle, but I can't find a keyboard driver anywhere, so I'm stuck with this full brightness screen that really burns my eyes out, as well as draining a lot battery power when unplugged from the mains.

    If you are also an administrator on your account click the drop down box on the recovery menu where it says 'administrator' and see if your account is listed. If it's the only account listed have you tried entering no password?
    If that fails then google for 'hirens boot cd' which has a reset tool for Vista on the CD.

  • How to adjust brightness of part of the screen of shot video

    Hi,
    I have a video I am editing and for the most part the brightness and contrast levels are fine. But when I pan to a LCD display which is part of the video, the brightness is way too high. I can't redo this clip, but am wondering if there is a reasonable way to apply a filter which just lowers the intesity of the LCD screen while leaving the surrounding areas alone. It would sort of be like the concept they chroma keying does (in a loose sort of way).
    thanks!
    'mark

    Doesn't always work the way you think it should but you could try dropping the Broadcast Safe filter on the entire clip.
    You could also just cut the clip where the brightness first appears and add the 3 way Color Corrector. Adjust it to where you like it and then add a disolve between the clips. (may or may not do it for you depending on how the bright spot comes into frame, but it's a fast workaround) Could keyframe the 3 way in if you like.
    There are other things you can do with the 3 way to limit it's effect but to get a grip on it you should probably refer to the manual.

  • How to adjust brightness in FCE

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum but I still have FCE 1 and shot some footage that's a little bit over exposed. I would like to know if there's a brightness setting like photoshop that I can use to adjust it to make it darker?

    Use the Brightness filter in Video Effects.

  • How to adjust brightness in book module

    I created a book with 75 or so photos using Lightroom 5.3. Everything is ok and all done - but I forgot that my display is overbright so that I can see things clearly. On single images, I increase brightness and contrast in the print module before saving off a single file to print. I don't want to do this to all the 75 images one at a time. is there a way to adjust the brightness/contrast in the book module kind of in a batch?
    If not, what does the print adjustment equal to in the develop module? For example, I have found through testing, that if I go with +67 brightness and +51 contrast in the print module, it compensates any photo that I have developed in the develop module with my overbright display.

  • How to Adjust iPhone Contrast

    hI,
    I FEEL LOT OF PROBLIM ,I CAN NOT ADJUST THE COTRAST ON IPHONE4.

    While I understand you are trying to help, this is frustrating because I also have this problem yet you answered a question asking about CONTRAST with directions on how to adjust BRIGHTNESS. they are two different things.
    this is generally why TV's have a setting for brightness and contrast. I can't understand why so many people asking about this get answered the same way.
    the brightness setting in iPhone is clear as day. what is not clear or perhaps not even available is a CONTRAST setting.
    I set my brightness so that whites are white. yet the rest goes a bit too dark and perhaps a bit too vivid. I want to adjust so it is not quite so garish, but i can't find a way to do it.
    my other iphone looks lovely. this new one looks way too vivid.

  • How to manage brightness on a 27" mac with windows and a windows keyboard

    My problem is that since the imac doesn't have hardware controls of the monitor I don't know how to adjust brightness or swich the monitor or even eject media from the keyboard (but this is not important as I cand do it by soft).
    Addicionally to avoid incompatibilities and be able to use smartcards I'm using a windows keyboard.
    Is there any way to assign or use monitor controls to my windows kwyboard?
    Thank you.

    you can adjust the brightness in
    the video card software in my case it's amd
    I right click on my desktop and in the context menu choose AMD catalyst control center
    and adjust it there
    if you have nvidia they have a contol panel like it
    if you can tie it to a shortcut on your keyboard depend on what features
    amd / nvidia's control panels support in that direction

  • Tecra 8000: Missing OS, how to install

    I have this old Tecra 8000 and it had Win ME on it. I used some software called Kill Disk, and after reboot I get "OS Missing".
    I have a bootable CDR with a (legal) copy of XP Pro on it. But nothing happens when I insert the CD, it runs for a while but the "OS Missing" message remains. I have tried to reboot with the CD inserted, but nothing but the message.
    It's and old comp but I still want it to run, there are no mechanical failures, so...any help much appreciated.

    First account did not allow me to login, so I made a new account.
    Anyway, I can not alter my BIOS since the boot process is only about 1 second. All I have is the Toshiba logo followed by the OS Missing message. I know my way around the settings in the BIOS, boot order and all, but this I dont understand. I do not have a command line or anything, just this annoying message.
    If I start the comp while pressing F12, I get a message about how to insert a BIOS Update Diskette.
    - So I downloaded the latest BIOS update, copied it to a 1.44 MB floppy and inserted it into an external floppy drive. Well, that did not work out, probably some USB error?
    - I tried to burn the update files to a CDR, start the comp while pressing F12, inserting the CD on message, but no response either :(
    Any other suggestions on how to solve this?

  • How to get sound working on W2k on Tecra 8000?

    Is there any way to get the sound to work on a Tecra 8000 using windows 2000 pro? I just upgraded from win 98 and the audio driver installs the Yamaha opl3-sax, but there is no sound. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling different drivers, but none seem to work.

    Hi
    I would also recommend checking the device manager. If there is no yellow exclamation marks near to the sound card so I would say the sound driver was successful installed and there must be something wrong with the audio settings.
    Did you check the sound and audio devices in the control panel? You should check all the sound controller if they are set to the higher level.
    Furthermore I would recommend checking the volume controller at the notebook side. Sometimes peoples forget to set it. ;)

  • Tecra 8000 - How to connect HDD to an other notebook?

    Hello, what kind of device do I need in order to connect an old Tecra 8000 hard drive to a notebook from an other manufacture?
    I just want to transfer some data but the ac connector on the Tecra no longer works.

    Hi!
    You can use an external HDD case with USB port for this.
    The external HDD case should be for 2.5 HDDs and with IDE interface. Thats all.
    Contact your local computer dealer. Im sure they will have such cases.
    Bye

    Hi Paul, i'd installed XP Professional for my user n so far so good. Her broadband is also working well too. when this laptop was using Win98, i had to install a driver every time i added some new hardware. Now with XP Pro there is no need, she even managed to install the new printer herself without help. The same goes with the memory stick etc.
    i re-built the Tecra 8000 (192 MB RAM) from scratch (XP Pro only, bypassed Win98) so i dont know how well it'd cope with dual OSs. Bear in mind that it's not that "roomy". i just like it super "clean". btw, the installation was much simpler than Win98 (not much to add). One more thing, i don't know how well it'd cope if it had a virus checker on it (might slow down the machine considerably). I just installed Sygate Firewall version of 5.5.2577 (downloaded from http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=sygate ) without any virus checker. it's a good Firewall n she's a sensible user (i've warned her all the things not to do etc). u might like to install that firewall (n turn off any unnecessary XP services) too BEFORE u go online.

    Will upgrading of the GPU do the trick?
