Satellite Pro A100 SCOCAPS: I want to change the command for real player buttons
I have A 100 SCOCAPS, I want to change the media controls to real player instead of windows media player, but in media control list only windows MediaPlayer is appearing... all about can help me please?
Hello
I'm not 100% sure but I think that all media buttons are designed to support Microsoft WMP only. Maybe if you use real player plugins so that they work.
I found some similar topic, but the guy wanted to use the buttons for WinAmp. If you have time please check under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=3&threadID=14884
If you are success please give some feedback. It can be useful information.
Bye and good luck!

I have Windows XP Professional and have tried playing the CD through Windows Media Player. I get the message "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file.

1. don't you also get an error with the message code?
2 have you installed third-party readers part?
3. What is the format of the files you are trying to play?Follow these steps and check if they help.
Step 1:
I would have you readers of third party temporarily Uninstall and check if persists it to the question.
Step 2:
Most likely you need codecs to play these files with Windows Media Player. I suggest looking up codec in the Internet that supports the file format, download and install them.

Anyone know how to change the password for the installation of Adobe Flash Player?
Anyone know how to change the password for the installation of Adobe Flash Player? I have tried everything that I usually use and nothing works. My Adobe ID password works perfectly. I can't complete the installation without this, and it doesn't have a 'forgotten password' button to change it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
There is no password required for the installation of Flash Player, at least not on the side of the things Adobe. It's probably the security of your computer, forcing you to you connect allowing the installation to occur. Only you would know what would be the connection for this information.

Shortcut keys for media player on my satellite configuration
I have a satellite with the buttons of soft touch media players. All the buttons work for the track selection and the launching of Media player, but the mute button actually launches Internet Explorer rather than mute.
No idea how can I fix?
Thanks in advance
The "Controls Button from TOSHIBA" utility allows you to modify the application to launch these buttons.
Look in Toshiba Assist under the Optimize section.
(this is for XP, it may be different in Vista, take a look in the start menu-> programs-> TOSHIBA)
