Where to find Windows XP Value Added Package (VAP) for Portege R500

Where can I find the VAR software for Windows XP for the R500 (SSD, without optical drive)? Because otherwise the fn keys won't function...
I already tried to bypass the check in the Vista version.
Then I choose custom and select some options. Some fn keys work, others don't. And when one doesn't every function key stops working until I run reset flash (or something like that).
When can I suspect the VAR software for XP?

Toshiba Common Modules controls the FN buttons under Win XP.
So reinstall the Common Module.
Hotkey Utilities for Display Devices controls the FN+F5 button combination.
Touch Pad On/Off Utility controls the FN+F9
But as I said above; common Modules must be installed at first and are very important.
So my personal advice to you; before you will post some personal statements, check the available drivers!!
Just a hint for the future ;)

Re: Qosmio F50-12J - FN key not working with new Value Added Package

Hi,
I have Toshiba Qosmio F50-12J and have trouble with Value Added Package v 1.2.28.
I can't get the flash cards to work. When I press FN key nothing happens. BTW, I installed VAP on freshly installed Windows 7 64 bit. With the previuos version of VAP that I tried on Windows 7, KeNotify.exe was crashing. Now there is no apparent crash, but nothing happens.
Also, there is a problem with the Button Support utility (touch sensitive controls). Whenever I reboot my system, all the white illumiation LEDs on my laptop are lit although I turned them off.
So, could someone confirm that they have a working Value Added Package v 1.2.28 on Windows 7 64bit ?

Hi buddy,
Your posting is a little bit confusing and in my opinion you make something wrong. My Qosmio F50 runs pretty good on Windows 7 and I dont have any problems with the FN keys, illumination buttons or other function.
First of all make sure that all drivers are installed!!! I mean chipset, graphic, sound, etc. Check the device manager and if you can find unknown devices or yellow exclamation marks download the missing drivers on the Toshiba page.
The Button Support Utility has nothing to do with Flash Cards support utility. So before you make something wrong, please uninstall Toshiba Value Added Package and Flash Card Supports Utility. Restart the notebook after uninstallation and clean the registry using CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/). If you have clean the registry, restart the notebook again.
Now you should install newest Toshiba Value Added Package. Restart again.
Install Flash Cards Support Utility for Vista. Restart again.
Now you should check if it works or not.
Sorry but thats all what I can say. I dont have any problems on my Qosmio F50 and Windows 7.

Toshiba Value Added Package fails to install - ID ERR NOTINSTALLTVALZ MESSAGE

Hi there,
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade on my Satellite A100 and the Value Added Package will not install. It gets toward the end of installing and then produces the error "ID_ERR_NOTINSTALLTVALZ_MESSAGE".
Could someone please help me... I don't have any idea why it is doing this.
Cheers.

Hi
I remembered this theme was already discussed here in the forum.
I searched a little bit and found this thread:

There you can find the same case and the solution!!
The issue was solved by BIOS update.
But be careful; the BIOS update is risky. Be sure that you use the right BIOS and right update procedure!!!

Tecra A8 PTA83E - Value Added Package installation

Tosiba Tecra A8 PTA83E
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate X64
I've been unable to install the Toshiba Value Added Pack (vap-vista-1011btn-en) or any version before it. I have spoke to Tosh tech support on numerous occasions and they always promise Customer Support will respond to the query, they never do.
Toward the end of the installation, whilst it is running the "Computing space requirements" process an error dialogue box pops containing "ID_ERR_NOTINSTALLVALZ_MESSAGE". The only option available is "ok" and when this is selected the install rolls back and the finish screen says "The wizard was interrupted before TOSHIBA Value Added Package could be completely installed".
I am, as I am sure you can understand, VERY frustrated with this problem. I purchased (the very expensive) Vista Ultimate as Toshiba claim this Laptop is Vista ready, and it may well be, but the drivers and software provided are not. I am also having problems with:
Bluetooth
Config Free Utility
WinBIOS updater
Sound Driver
Graphics Driver
I will save these problems for another thread as I would like to deal with these problems one at a time.
Thanks in advance for any help given/offered.

Hi
You are running the 64bit version of Vista???
Im not very surprised that you are not able to install the Toshiba Vista Value Added Package.
All the drivers, tools and utilities are designed for Vista 32bit version!!
In my knowledge the 32bit drivers dont run on the 64bit Vista OS!
Regarding the ID ERR NOTINSTALLVALZ MESSAGE error message;
It seems the BIOS update could solve this issue.
This was reported in different threads here in the Toshiba forum!!!

Satellite Pro L300 PSLB1E - How to install the Value added package?

Hi there
I have tried updating the value added package on my machine I followed the instructions and removed my previous version and even cleaning the pc with ccleaner and running tune up utilites 2009 but every time i go to install the new value added package i get the same message remove previous version first in the add and remove programmes list.
I have removed this checked and double checked in add and remove and it is no where to be found but still no success installing the new software.
Can anyone help me resolve this matter?
Thanks

Have you restarted your notebook after removing VAP from the system?
I have updated VAP on several notebooks and have never noticed something like this.
After removing VAP from the system new version was always installed properly.
I can imagine something is still in registry.
You can check it and try to remove manually.
Search all entries for Toshiba Value and remove it.
If this will not work all you can do is to install OS again using recovery image. After clean installation remove VAP again, restart your notebook and install latest version.

MS Outlook on O365 versus FingerPrint software or Value Added Package

Hello all, I have problem - after installing FingerPrint software or Value Added Package some functionality in MS Outlook 2010 on MS O365 system stops working like planning share meetings. I mean so problem in the Security - this application close some ports or something...
You have a solution or idea?
Alex

Removing old and installing new VAP is definitely not risky. I have done this many times without any problems.
The latest version is much better and the flash cards are shown much faster than with old version. I can really recommend you to remove preinstalled version and install the latest one.

Qosmio X500-1801 - where to find Win 7 drivers full package

I have to question why Toshiba Qosmio X500-1801 will not work with all the features of Windows 7 on a professional 32-bit operating system, Do you know where to find the drivers full package. Please answer the [email protected]

Hi buddy,
What problem you have exactly? What is not working?
As PauPau wrote all drivers are placed on official Toshiba website so I dont think its a problem to find and install them.
I dont understand why you can Windows 7 64bit to 32bit. I assume your notebook has 4GB RAM or more so you cant use the whole RAM capacity anymore with 32bit OS.

Satellite A200-10W - Where to find Windows 7 64bit drivers?

I have a Satellite A200-10W notebook. In present I have vista x86 installed but I want to upgrade to windows 7 64 bit but I don't know where I find the drivers because on the website I can't find these.
Can anyone help me? How can I use sound card, network card, webcam and others if i haven't these drivers?

Hi!
I have checked the Toshiba page and the Satellite A200-10W belongs to the PSAECE series and therefore I could find only Vista 64bit drivers:

Normally these drivers are also work on Windows 7 so you should try it. Maybe all of them will work and so you have Windows 7 with all drivers. :)

For those using the Windows Mobile 6 emulator and are receiving the message:
"The file 'JavaFX' can not be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components can not be found. You migth need to reinstall or restore the file" Make sure you are using the Windows Mobile 6 Professional Images. The Windows Mobile 6 Classic image would cause this error every time!!!! -Tres

I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard and just partitioned my disk to download Windows with Boot Camp. I found the student discount for Windows 7 Professional Upgrade on Digital River but since it's a Digital download it won't work with the Mac because of the .exe file. Everyone who has installed Windows, did you pay full price for a new disk? Is there a way to get a disk without paying extra? And Windows 7 64-bit works with Boot Camp 2.0 on a Mac OS X 10.5 right? Just curious because I don't want to spend a lot of money only to find out something doesn't work
You can probably get Windows 7 to work with Boot Camp 2.0, but it is definitely not supported. I don't believe that Windows 7 was officially supported until Boot Camp 3.
As for your 64-bit windows, that would depend upon the age of your Mac. I seem to recall that with some of the older MacBook Pros, 64-Bit windows is not supported, and doesn't work for many who have tried.
Perhaps if you could give us a little more detail about your Mac, we could tell you what your odds are in getting it all to work together.

Where can I find XP x64 drivers for Portege R500 - hotkey / power management?

Where can I find downloads that will enable power management or hotkey support for my Portege R500?
I have already installed drivers for everything except fingerprint reader (don't want), tpm (really don't want), and hdd motion sensor (tos620a) (not bothered about right now). Most drivers are latest from original vendor websites, or, failing those, from Toshiba's Vista 64-bit download areas.
Everything else generally works: wifi, graphics & chipset, sound, lan, bluetooth stack, cardbus, card reader, etc.
However, having done this, the following issues remain:
FN hotkeys don't work for suspend to ram, suspend to disk, *screen* *brightness* - essential to extending lifetime; FN hotkeys for numeric/direction pad, external monitor toggle *do* work
Dedicated backlight toggle button doesn't do anything
However, in order to get battery lifetime beyond ~2.5 hours and closer to the rated 7.1 hours, I'll need to turn some things down / off occasionally. What software can help and where can I get it, such that it works on Windows XP x64 edition?
Note:
I have tried the xp 32-bit packages that Toshiba supplies, they don't appear to work on x64. The 'ctrls' package requires 'cmod', but 'cmod' gives this error:
TOSHIBA Common Modules Setup
Not an ACPI machine. Cannot install TOSHIBA ACPI Logical Device.
OK
I have tried the xp 32-bit package called 'pwrsav'; it installs a bad help link to my start menu, and adds a couple of exes, tpsmain and tpsoddctl, to my auto-runs. These 32-bit executables quit immediately after execution.
I would have tried to install Toshiba's Vista 64-bit packages for hotkeys / common modules / power management, but the only one of the three I can find via toshiba.co.uk are common modules, and unfortunately that zip file only contains .inf, .cat and .sys files, no installer.
Motivation:
I'm using a fresh install both because the default Vista install is unusable (900MB memory used on a fresh boot desktop, drive split into multiple partitions, trial, adware and broken software installed left and right)
I'm using x64 because I'm a software engineer whose next product needs to work on x64, and this new laptop was a likely first candidate

You didn't link to the tool you found. If you meant this tool then, you should be aware it doesn't work on x64 on R500:
Display Tuner
Cannot detect monitor!
Your monitor does not support DDC control or your videocard is not supported by Display Tuner.
You cannot use Display Tuner in this configuration.
OK
It would be unlikely to work in any case, as display driver brightness isn't normally the same as the screen's brightness (hence power usage).
Maybe it's a communication issue, but I *have* found +original+ drivers for all essential components, just not for things like screen brightness - something that, to be honest, I more expect to be handled in firmware / bios, as that's been my experience on previous laptops, and is more reliable in any case, considering I could be running an oddball Linux or a completely different OS, or a CPU-intensive high-priority task.
The R500 series seem to be scrimping on the firmware and expecting OS utilities and dedicate yet another system tray icon to take over that job.
It does look like x64 is a no-go for mobile use on this machine, due to lack of firmware power management, which is a great pity as the point of such a light machine is mobility. I'll wipe it and install XP 32-bit and see how that goes.

How to find the RGB Values of a Color for Hyperion

When customizing your Hyperion forms, we come across situations where we need the exact RGB value of a given color. This article explains a simple technique to find the RGB values using MS Paint and the Calculator applications that come as standard applications with your operating system.
Here are the steps to find the exact RGB value of a given color.
1) View your Hyperion form using IE, scroll down until you see the color you want to find the RGB value and press the "Print Screen" button (in your keyboard).
2) Open MS Paint and click Edit -> Paste or simply Ctrl+V. What you saw in the browser will be copied as a new untitled image.
3) Select the Color Picker tool and click on an area that has the color you want to match.
4) Now go to Edit Colors... option and click on the "Define Custom Colors >>" button. The color you picked will be selected on this palette. At the bottom right hand corner you will see the Red, Green and Blue values you need. Note down the R,G,B values (given in decimal).
5) Now we need to find out the hexa-decimal values that correspond to those decimal values. This is where we use the simple Calculator. Open the Calculator application from Program -> Accessories. Switch to the scientific mode by clicking View ->Scientific.
6) By default it will be in the decimal number mode. Enter the R value (238 in this example) and click on the Hex radio button. The corresponding hexa-decimal value (EE in this case) will be shown in the dial.
The selected color in this case has the same value for R, G and B. (In fact, all shades of gray has the same values for R, G and B.) Therefore, the RGB value of the background color that we need is #eeeeee. Repeat step 6 to find out the hex value for the Green and Blue elements, if they are different.
Tip:
If you find it difficult to pick a color, zoom the image by pressing Ctrl+PageDown or using View -> Zoom -> Custom... option.

These tips are to find the RGB color of HFM default row where row is text and text lines in data columns are also visible to business users as Yellow as an input cell. By applying the same RGB color you can apply the same color to your data cells or rows. This post shows how to identify color from any web view-able object.

Finder windows do not update their content for ARD

Server (to which I am connected): MacMini (Late 2012) 10.8.3,
Computers (with whom I am connected): MBP 2008 10.8.3, iMac 2011 10.8.3.
After connecting I open any Finder window and try to select files with the mouse (or Command-A). The window is not updated. If you move the window on the desktop, it is updated. All these actions are performed without the monitor connected to the server.
If you connect an external monitor, so no problem. When connected to the monitor to send the image looks much smoother.
This problem does not occur if the map files in the list view. The problem is present, if the map as icons.
Tried to restart the server - did not help.
Tried to install Combo update 10.8.3 - did not help.
The problem occurred suddenly, it seems after I added the video in iTunes. (That is up to the challenge I did not install any software or not an administrator password).
How to fix it?
Here's a short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtG1t6q9eFI
Also there is a server MacMini 2010 (10.6.8) - there are no such problems.

Found an interesting solution, I have not tried it myself yet, I'm waiting resistors

(If the monitor is not connected, the video driver is not loaded.)
