• Portege R500 - anyone using the DVI Port Replicator II on WIndows 7 Beta?

  Hello
  I'm using the beta version of WIndows 7 on my R500 and runnig it's just well except the DVI Port (on the Port Replicator II Slim).
  I have installed this software Fingreprint, battery bluetooth (which are recommended as a solution by the Action Center) and the 'TOSHIBA value added together"which adds the management software of power supply, control over the 2 hardware buttons and gives the FN menu to the screen to control the functions FN1-9.
  I think I can say it's definatively a driver problem, because if I start the R500, the windows loading screen appears on my screen, but when he switches to the desktop, the external screen turns off and the desktop on the screen of the laptop. Also, no chance to activate via FN + F5.
  I tried with the driver Windows 7 buildin, the latest driver from intel (15.8.3) and the vista driver provided by toshiba (7.14.10.1244), but none of them work: (unlucky
  BTW: the vga output works, but only UNdocked :(
  Does anyone have a solution or a tip what to do or try?

  Hello!

  First of all, I have to say that Windows 7 Beta is as its name the indicates that a beta so there might be some problems and it s not sure that everything works fine with Windows 7 Beta.

  Your problem: you see the second monitor in the display settings? There you can active it and mark the option extend my Windows desktop on this monitor.

  Lastly but not the least you should do an update of the BIOS if you have n t the latest version.

  Good bye

• Portege R500 - replacement of the keyboard - success

  After buying a new keyboard for the R500 on EBay about a year ago, I finally blew the courage to replace a badly scratched by a new keyboard. The reason I've waited? I was worried about how to get out the old keyboard (it is locked down to the chassis, and it was obvious that I have would hurt one during the withdrawal.

  There is a nice write-up general on how to disassemble a R500 here:
  http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Portege-R500/disassemble-laptop-remove-hard-drive.htm

  The description above is not to discuss the keyboard however, so here's some additional information and tips:

  * Read this whole procedure before you start - it's simple, but not for the faint of heart.

  * Shut down, unplug the power, remove the battery.

  * Make sure that you have the correct keyboard for your model. The US keyboard is p/n G83C000903US for example. One I removed was a Rev 1 and a new one, I had a Rev 2 (don't know the difference - they look identical). They can get as low as $40-mais check the part number before you buy.

  * The keyboard connector is located under the computer, and so you will have to take off from the bottom, carefully following the instructions in the link above.

  A couple of notes: (a) the cable Ribbon PCMCIA connector must be opened to disconnect the cable, as this is the only thing that prevents you from removing the bottom of the computer. You can easily do so through access memory on the back door, but BE careful not to damage the cable lock. It works by switch to the top the little plastic lever that is held in place by small pieces of plastic on the sides of the connector that flex * a little *. Be gentle with this connector. When you put it back later-connector, if you placed the cable all the way into the connector, you can lock with only slight pressure down on the connector, and it will snap into place.

  (b) there are other types of cable Ribbon connectors use too. For example, to unlock the keyboard connector, now visible also on the bottom of the deck, slide both ends of the connector in the direction where the cable plugs in. They are snug and will only move about 1/4 ", be gentle but firm.

  (c) the two tiny connectors blocks free access to the water of the keyboard do not have locks on them. We're a band with only a few drivers, and one is a red and white power connector. Just pull out them. All the other connectors, you will probably miss through requires unlocking, so be careful!

  _Now back to the keyboard: _

  Once you have managed to disconnect his cable on the bottom, turn the laptop and start to remove the keyboard on the edges. It is supported by many small pieces of sticky tape, 2 faces, and that's it. As the base of the keyboard is made of aluminum, it is likely that you will distort the keyboard a bit as release you it, even though it may be downplayed maybe using a tool like a rule or something plastic and pry with it. Take care of not to damage the connector of the Ribbon and try to ignore these scary cracking sounds that identify each section!

  Once you have turned it off, you must remove any excess tape before starting point and again put a bunch of small pieces of new, good quality 2-sided tape (such as 3 m). No need to use anything stronger or thicker - just put a bunch of parts everywhere on the base, especially near the edges and the space key.

  Now, finally, turn the keyboard in position, making sure that you screw the connector back Ribbon through to the correct place. Turn the laptop over and re - insert and lock the Ribbon connector (make sure that it is directly and fully forward lock connector). All other connectors back in too. Then come back and push down hard on all sections.

  Re-assembling, taking care to put the 4 mm and 6 mm screws in the right places and a tiny on the side.

  Cross your fingers and turn it on!

  Good luck!

• It is possible to select a clip and remove it using the keyboard?

  In Final Cut, I can press the 'X' button to select my music video and 'remove' to remove. However, when I try in the body, I can mark a clip using the keyboard, but I can't delete it, copy, etc...?

  Selection of individual clips only occurs with the mouse.

• Portege R500 - remove 'Eject the PC' from the menu pinned using pyrite station

  We run for Toshiba Portege R500 laptop in Windows XP Professional SP2 environment.
  Toshiba tools are installed to allow UN/hot docking on laptops.
  Portege R500 laptop computers come with the Slim Port Replicator docking station.

  During the docking of the laptop, 2 "pinned" items appear in the start menu called 'Eject the PC' and ' Eject PC and sleep. "
  We found that because of our custom build and Toshiba tools, there are a few conflicts.
  Most of these conflicts have been resolved, except for one that was recently found.

  When a user selects the option "Eject PC", it works as expected, however when the user plug their docking station back in, the port replicator is inactive (in other words, all the functions of the mouse, keyboard, cable LAN, etc. which are connected to the Port Replicator become unusable).
  To remedy the situation, a restart of the computer is required to do and everything works then according to normal again.

  To avoid users to do this, is there a way to remove the icons "Eject PC" & "Eject PC and Sleep" be pinned?
  Of course the added items can be deleted under the user's profile, but when the laptop is returned, these added items return.

  I tried to add a few registry keys to see if NoEject can be set to prevent this.

  Hello

  > To avoid users to do this, is there a way to remove the icons "Eject PC" & "Eject PC and Sleep" be pinned?
  It is not known to me
  I think that everything can be changed by using the right registry and value, but I have never tried this.

  But my knowledge of the Toshiba * Mobile Extension * tool controls this function.
  On the page of Toshiba Europe, you might find a more recent version: 3.87.00

  I think you should update this tool.

• Cannot left click to advance to the next image in the image windows Viewer. I can move forward using the keyboard

  Cannot left click to advance to the next image in the image windows Viewer. I can move forward using the keyboard

  I have a folder of photos that I opened to see several thumbnails. I can left click on a picture and it will open full screen. Then I left click on this image and the next should show but nothing happens. I can use the keyboard arrows to move to the next photo, but I can't use the mouse. The left click works for everything I use it for. I've used regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll and he said DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in shimgvw.dll succeeded. This does not solve the problem. This isn't a big deal, it just bugs _ on me because I'm a perfectionist. Thank you for your response and any other help would be appreciated.

  ===============================================
  If you use Windows Picture and Fax Viewer... left click of the photo is
  not supposed to promote the image. (some image viewers work this way
  but not Windows Picture and Fax Viewer)

  Left click on the blue arrows at the bottom of the screen will advance

  I tried several restarts too.  I had put a password of account on account use controls and can connect once to turn them off.  When the computer reboots, I can't use the keyboard to open a session and I can't even see a keyboard in the Device Manager.

  Hi Luis,.

  Could you try to change the USB port for the keyboard and check if it detects the keyboard?

  Sometimes USB ports damaged leaving the USB device not detected.

  You can also try the following fix - it:

• I can't find instructions on setting up or using the keyboard Microsoft Wireless Comfort 1. 0a.

  I can't find instructions on setting up or using the keyboard Microsoft Wireless Comfort 1. 0a.  I GOOGLED it but the only reference I find tells me to go to the download page on the Microsoft Web site for this product.  I went to this site and the only thing it is limited warranty info and Product Guide.  I downloaded the Product Guide, but it only covers the basic information like it do not immerse in water, do not take part and the various regulations of the FCC about the product.  There is no info in this guide on how to configure or use the keyboard AT ALL.  Guidance on how to use this product is probably somewhere?

  The dongle is not plug it into the keyboard, it plugs into the USB port on the computer.  Wireless keyboards is not related to them - think of that.  :-)

  If you are missing parts to the keyboard, I would just buy a new one.  You can buy wired keyboards for as little as $4 these days, wireless are a little more expensive of course.  Personally, I find the wireless keyboards to be a pain because the batteries always come out in one in-opportune times.  YMMV

  Good luck.
