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

  • Cannot install the XP Modem driver for Satellite Pro A200

    I'm a local network admin for Newbold College. We have new A200 laptops and we need XP Pro on some of them. I have tried to install the modem driver as one of the last drivers downloaded from the european support site. I also tried to Canadian site as well.
    The driver install program doesn't seem to do anything. I tried to manually install the driver from one of Windows modem Agse/Toshiba software modem, but I have com port issues and I can't quire the modem.
    Can anyone help me please!!!!!!!

    Hi
    What to say; I have checked the Toshiba Europe driver page and found all necessary and important XP drivers for the Satellite Pro A200.
    Please note that the Toshiba European driver page provides XP drivers for 3 different Sat Pro A200 series!!! There is PSAE1, PSAE4 and PSAE7 series.
    Please choose the right one!!!!
    Furthermore you will find an installation instruction txt file on the Tosh page.
    In this file you will find a right and important installation driver order!!! Please follow these steps!!!
    I dont know exactly why you get the modem com port problems but I assume that a new XP and driver installation should solve this strange issue.
    Good luck

  • Hi, why doesn't any of the Adobe show under "All Programs"???

    None of the Adobe Air Flashdrive or Reader show in my list under "All Programs" from start menu?   WHY????

    Oh my, I am losing it...sorry it is Adobe Flash Player and then also Adobe Air...Never have used either.  
    This is very convoluted...plus, I cannot remove Adobe Readers (two versions) from Change/Remove in control panel.  A government web site states I can only use version X, but there is no way at all to download X now that the XI is there.

  • Why doesn't Apple list the changes in iPhone updates?

    Why doesn't Apple list the changes included with each iteration of iPhone updates? They always post a detailed list of changes for all other major software updates. I wonder why the same is not true for the iPhone, leaving us all guessing and wondering...

    Just to add, Ansuz82 pointed out, Apple's track record is that they don't really ever give full published details about what their updates include in any of their products really. If the iPhone is your first product by Apple you may not be aware of this. To them, saying Bug Fixes is enough. If they publicly add more info, it means they really wanted to get that point out. eg: the 1.1.1 mainly just talked about iTunes WiFi store. 1.1.2 mainly talked about the Tiff exploit fixed and keyboard updates for languages. However, with all, a lot more does get changed than just the key points mentioned. And by a lot, I don't mean a lot that you will see. Have to remember, they are still ironing out the OS for the iPhone. A lot of changes to them is just cleaning up and fixing known bugs that many of us as users may not even know exisit (though we see the outcome of them when apps colide and crash each other).

That is, I cannot log in, sleep, restart, or shut down. I am running it on an Early 2009 Macbook Pro, which is said to have the capabilities of running Mountain Lion.

    As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17.  They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
    Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
    Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.

  • Why can't I use the function of menu item 'issue delivery output'?

    why can't I use the function of menu item 'issue delivery output' in main screen of delivery note?
    And at the same time I can't use the button of printing in main screen of delivery note.
    the main screen of delivery note I mean above is in screen of maintaining shipping data instand of the first screen of VL02N.
    TKS in advance.

    Hi,
    Because delivery will be having header level output and item level output. So if u try to print through main screen then system will not know whether it is header related or item related. That is the reason it is only print output at header level or item level but not in main screen.
    I think u may have doubt like how billin will be issued output through Main screen. Because for billing both header and item level data are same..

  • Satellite Pro A200 with Vista doesn't see other XP notebook in the network

    I have Satellite Pro A200 Toshiba and I have some problems with the network.
    The Inernet is upp and going but I cant find the other computers in my network.
    Im having 3 other computer in a network. The A200 is having Vista and the other one is having just XP-pro and XP-home.
    The network by the tree standalone is working fine but the laptop is not present in the network.
    I've have checked the workgroup so it the same.
    Is there anyhone thats having any idea how or whats the problem?

    Hi again. Ive discovered how to solve the problem! Its the Norton Internet security thats causes the problem.
    Just open the program, right click at the icon down at right, click at "Norton Protection Center"
    Click on the "Norton Internet Cecurity", Wirewall settings, Commin Settings, Common Rules, Configurate,
    Scroll down to "Standard-Block filesharing in Windows" Mark and "Modify", Mark the option "Allow" Save and go!
    If You have understand what Ive written it should be working, the thing is that I have Swedish versions of all the software
    so it might be a littel hard to understand the translation that Ive done. Try to use it and look for the most likness of my poor English.

    Since you give no clue as to what make/model/version WiFi router you are using or how you have it configured it's hard to comment.

  • 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)

  • 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

  • Satellite Pro A200 doesn't charge if running

    Hello
    I have a new Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 running Vista. I have a problem with the mains adapter and charging.
    It will boot up and operate fine, and when switched off will charge the battery on mains fine. But when switched on, the machine automatically runs off battery, not mains, and does not charge.
    This means that the battery runs down and eventually has to be charged again whilst off.
    When the mains adapter is removed and reinserted, it initially will charge for maybe 30 seconds, then stops charging again and continues to run off battery.
    At the same time, the blue indication light on the front of the machine lights up to indicate that the AC is connected and detected, and on the battery indicater on windows in states 'ac connected, battery not charging' - in other words it the ac works and is detected but the machine isnt using it to run power or charge unless switched off..
    Can anyone offer a solution?
    thanks

    Thats very strange and I presume this issue could be related to the hardware problem.
    Either its a faulty battery or there is something wrong with the power supply electronic on the motherboard.
    In my opinion there is only one way to find out whats wrong some diagnostic test are necessary.
    Such test can be performed only by an ASP technician.
    Therefore its really advisable to contact an ASP in your country for some checks.
    This is a new notebook and the warranty should cover everything!

  • Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7: Where to get the ATI driver for Win XP

    Hi,
    I have bought Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7 and it was with Vista on from the beginning. I decided to upgrade (/downgrade) it to XP but there's problem with driver to graphic card (Radeon HD 2600 Series).
    I can't find anywhere ati drivers (actually I found it on ati.amd.com site, but on this forum I read that Toshiba drivers are modified so that Radeon won't be overheating) and I'm wonderig if Vista ones will run on XP (I've downloaded all drivers but ati one)?
    ...and is it possible to downgrade my Vista to XP Pro through Miscrosoft site (or something like that) or do I have to reinstall it using my old copy (provided with old Toshiba)?
    Ps.
    Sory for my English
    Ps2.
    Is it so important to install drivers in proper order?

    > When trying to download driver from Toshiba web I get message:
    >"This software has not been officially tested and therefore must be at the users own risk."
    >I agree, but still can't download it.
    You have to switch the option to Accept!!! Then the button Download will be activated!!!
    >I found driver on ati site, but read somewhere that for Toshiba notebooks drivers are modified so that >graphic card won't overheat. Is that true? Or original drivers (of ati group) are as good as Toshiba ones?
    As mentioned in this forum, the original ATI or nVidia drivers are designed not for the notebook usage!!! The GPU drivers are designed for the graphic cards which are used in the desktop PCs!!! Such graphic cards are equipped with an own, big cooling module in order to prevent the hardware from overheating!!! The notebook GPUs dont support such huge cooling modules and therefore the drivers must control the performance and the temperature growth.
