Function (Fn) on Windows 8.1 keys satellite R830 - 16K-

Hello

I just installed Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit, got the ISO from Microsoft MSDN Academic.

I also downloaded Toshiba Upgrade Assistant from the support Page and it has installed almost all the drivers and software from Toshiba (for my Satellite R830 - 16K).

But some function keys does not work. FN + F6 or F7 (brightness) does not work. Other function keys seems to operate normally. I uninstalled and reinstalled "Toshiba Value added Package" and "Toshiba-function key. Also, the program function key does not set the brightness keys (F6/F7).

Any ideas? Could someone help me, please?

Thank you!

Hello

The Toshiba UE driver page provides the package upgrade to win 8.
It s for 8 Win, NOT Win 8.1
This is why some tools and utilities may not work properly.

But look: If you use Win 8 (not quite sure to win 8.1) very important is the driver of Toshiba system installation.
Such driver Toshiba System can be found on the page of the Toshiba driver too.

By the way: make sure display driver is installed

  • Satellite R830 - Windows 8 - Fn keys do not work

    I made the mistake of upgrading to Windows8 with special offer included with my Satellite R830.

    When I got all the workers, my key (Flash cards) functions worked.
    I use these a lot to adjust the brightness, turn on and off Bluetooth (but how I never really find - I just continues to support on until I get the result I want) adjustment volume etc etc.

    Something happened and I lost the function keys.
    I ran the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant that was a ridiculous download of the massive amounts of data and holding still.

    I searched and searched and I've tried everything "solutions" that I could find.
    I downloaded and installed the Flash cards, but that doesn't seem to be available.
    I downloaded and installed the value (from the window of Windows 8 "drivers").

    But there is no mention of Flash Cards in that.
    I downloaded and installed the function keys, but allows only four keys, that which none that I use.

    I find that my first Toshiba, being one of the most frustrating PC that I have ever owned.
    The "bloatware" is amazing in its volume and its contents.

    Each element seems to have been designed by a Committee.
    The problem is, each of them seems to be another Committee. Confusing and mostly unusable.

    My hair is thin, as it was torn so many times with this laptop.

    I hope someone can help me get my function keys to work with Windows 8 x 64.

    By the way, on the question of Bluetooth:-I lived a massive loss of speed on my Wifi Internet. I turned off Bluetooth and the problem disappeared.
    But now I can't turn it on again when I need it!

    Thank you!

    Hello

    First of all, you can find driver Win 8 on the Toshiba UE driver page.
    You must choose the Satellite R830 PT32LE - upgrade of Windows 8 section

    Now you need to download and install:
    -Value Added Package 1.6.0130.640205 (this is for 64 bit)
    -Driver Toshiba system
    -Toshiba utility function of key

    Finally, restart the device and test your function keys

    Hello

    First you need to download xp drivers: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Second, you must create the floppy or custom installation CD of Windows XP with integrated storage drivers. the custom installation CD, you can use Nlite http://www.nliteos.com/. There are guides in different languages, so you won't have a problem to create a. Don't forget it will have to include "Storage drivers", without them, Setup does not recognize the hard drive.
    Third install XP :)

    But be aware, you may encounter some problems, as audio doesn't work do not (updated Windows XP specific need or Service pack 3), some Fn keys not working do not, some unrecognized hardware and so on... You really have to patient when installing XP on new laptops. So good luck

    (Tip: download all readers and store it because it is quite possible that the LAN/WAN connection will not work without a driver)

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Satellite R830 and Windows 10 question webcam

    The Microsoft Upgrade Advisor said that my Satellite R830-182 would be allowed to switch to Windows 10, so I made the leap. Everything works fine, except the webcam of Toshiba. Device Manager States "the drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)" and click on "update drivers" is futile.

    The Toshiba site looking for an updated driver, I found that this model is not in their models supported for Windows 10, despite the advice of Mrs.

    Anyone know if there is a way around this problem (another pilot?), or it is impossible to get this webcam works in Windows 10?

  • Need drivers of Windows XP Home for Satellite C650D - 11K

    Hello

    where can I find all the drivers for Windows Xp for my Satellite C650D - 11K?

    I saw something on the Support page & Toshiba drivers, but the question is: if originally, it installed Windows 7 64 bit, how I can install all drivers for Win Xp (32-bit, I guess)?

    Please help me.

    Thank you.

    Your question is really strange. If your laptop is supported for Windows XP Home edition, and it is undoubtedly supported, then install WXP and more later all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities one by one.

    Before that, you create the recovery disk using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. This disk you can use to install Win7 64 bit in the future when you don t want to use Windows XP Home edition.

    What is the year/model of your iMac? Depending on your model/year, W7 is supported. 2015 macs don't support W7.

  • Windows reinstall failure on Satellite P35 - BSOD

    I had to reinstall windows XP on my Satellite P35.

    I deleted the partition - now, I think that it could have been a mistake.

    I get about half way through installing windows, then I get a blue error screen telling me that the installation could not be completed. "memory dump physical beginning" and all that jazz.

    Any tips on what I could do wrong?

    I have re-formatted the hard drive.

    What is the BSOD code?

    Have you tested the memory? go to www.memtest.org and install Memtest on a floppy disk or a cd.

    If the BSOD 0x0000007B, you need a SATA F6 driver on a floppy disk during the installation of XP.

  • Windows XP on the Satellite A200 1HU

    Is it possible to get a CD/DVD of Windows XP for a Satellite A200-1HU recovery?

    No, this is not possible. You can only order the Toshiba Recovery CD with the operating system preinstalled on your A200.
    In your case, it s a Vista and so only the Vista recovery CD can be bought.

    But if you need to use XP on your laptop, then uses the XP of origin of the Microsoft C and then install all the Toshiba XP drivers available from the diver page.

  • I use the 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 from the Satellite on the Qosmio?

    Hello

    I have 2 laptops Toshiba, Qosmio X 300 - 14U and Satellite T130 - 12 K, and my question is:
    I use the 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 from the Satellite on the Qosmio?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi frakri,

    What drivers tell you exactly? Display, chipset, sound, etc. ?

    Theoretically, it should be possible, but it s according to the material. For example if your Qosmio has the same chipset as satellite you can use these drivers. Otherwise it wouldn't work because the hardware is different.
    First, check the features!

    In addition, you can get all the drivers here:

  • Support for Windows 10 on Satellite R830

    Hello

    I checked the Toshiba´s Web site and apparently Satellite R830 is not in the list of expandable devices to win 10.

    It's just a matter of time until Toshiba prepares the necessary drivers, or is it a definitive policy?

    I found in other forums some attempts to modernize the network... but it would be nice to hear some experiences and plans here

    Thank you

    Even if the laptop is not listed on the site Web of Toshiba Windows 10, this does not mean that you can not install Windows 10.

    But the fact is that Windows 10 drivers and Toshiba Software is not available for this model of laptop... it might be possible that some mobile features like the FN buttons work properly, but you can try to install the Windows 10 drivers / tools at the other series notebook that could solve the problem...

    So don't be worried that the unit is not officially model Win 10 taken in charge... This isn't really a reason NOT to use the system... you know...

    This is a user to use the forum, so if you wait for an official statement from Toshiba then you can wait until you get gray hair
    If you want to hear my opinion then this is

    Windows 7 is very similar / same as MS Vista OS. It supports only a few additional features and options.

    In the European Toshiba page driver I found the Vista drivers for this laptop M70 series and I guess these drivers could be used on Windows 7 too.

    .. .thx for any info and/or messages...

    Hello

    Just to clarify something:

    -If you want to install Windows XP Home edition, but do not change the BIOS settings (leave it in AHCI mode) at the beginning of the procedure of facilities you must load a SATA driver by pressing F6. That's only way to install Windows XP Home edition with success
    -You can install WXP without driver SATA, but you must change the compatibility settings. Everything works fine, but if you change the settings on back ACHI you get BSOD every time when you try to start Windows XP Home edition

    If you want to install the SATA driver please install WXP if you use SATA starts the driver before installing Windows XP Home edition.
