• Satellite P305-S8820 - FN key not working after a clean install of Windows 7

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8820. I recently did a clean install of Windows 7. I loaded the value Toshiba driver pack and the trackpad driver but still cannot get the trackpad or press FN to work.

  Any ideas?

  Hi taxwiz,.

  I think that the forum already contains hundreds of discussions about this so why you n t use the forum search?

  Anyway, you need the latest version of Toshiba Value added Package and utility Support Flash Cards.
  Try to also restart Toshiba Flash Cards (start > all programs > Toshiba) and repeatedly press the FN keys.

• License key does not work after a clean install of Windows 8

  I bought windows 8 pro shortly after launch, but 5 days ago, my pc decided to die, I now have a new pc which came with no os, I did a clean install of say 8, unfortunately for activate windows, I need a license key, the one I have is saved to my pc now retired cannot therefore have a new NTO generated for free or what I have to buy a new one?

  To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

• Re: Satellite P305-S8820 - FN key does not work after a clean install of Windows 7

  I have a problem with a Satellite A210-103. After installing the Toshiba value added package (cards Flash Support Utility) unavailable for A210, reboot, reboot Toshiba Flash Cards and by pressing the FN key several times the problem still exist.

  There must be other reasons why so many users have problems with the FN keys.

  John

  Hello John

  This with the FN keys can be really problematic. I got my Satellite A300 luck with FN feature.
  What you can try is to check if the Flash memory card support utility is available for your laptop model, or maybe A200.

  Try to install, reboot the laptop and check again the feature keys FN.

• Disk DVD - RW does not work after a clean install of Win7

  I did a clean install of Win7 on my Acer Asprire 5738 yesterday, and I noticed this particular problem today, I needed to use the DVD player, which is a Slimtype DVD A DS8A3S ATA device.

  The problem so far, is that it is a law to disappear each time the hard drive turns down, so, for example, I put a game disc, for the installation, the drive appears in my computer folder, the drive will turn up, and start the installation until it, lets say, I need to insert a license key... the disc will spin down and slowed down and then will disappear from the system.

  I checked the properties on the material tab and it shows 2 devices, one is the device which is installed, that is, Slimtype DVD A DS8A3S ATA

  Manufacturer: CD-ROM Standard

  Location: Location 0 (channel 1, Target 0, Lun 0)

  Device status: unknown

  under this scheme, the other is listed as a WDC WD2500BEVT - 22zCT0 ATA as a type of hard drive

  Manufacturer: (standard disk drives)

  Location 0 (Channel 0, Target 0, Lun 0)

  Status of the device: this device is working properly

  I don't know what is the 2nd unit, that I have only one hard disk, and also, I do not know why the transition from vista home to a full HARD disk format and then install win7 would cause such a problem...

  any help would be greatly apreciated

  Hello Nostrildarmus,

  I suggest that you run the CD burning, DVD and Blu ray discs convenience store which will automatically diagnose and solve common problems related to CD/DVD players.

  a. open the reading and burning CD, DVD and Blu ray discs store by clicking on the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting.

  (b) in the left pane, click Show all and then click on reading and burning CD, DVD and Blu ray discs.

• Original half-life and add the games does not work on windows 7 64-bit

  I recently installed some of my old games on my new computer which has windows 7 Home premium.
  I tried to run these games in compatibility mode with xp and even try 2000 and 98, but when the games begin first they ask me cd key, which I give, then hang completely.
  My features are way on what to and I can't find any answer on the internet. Help, please!

  Hi Quick_flight,

  ·         Did you install the game in trouble-free compatibility mode?

  I suggest that you try to install the game by keeping the computer in the boot and check if you are able to use the game without any problems.

  You can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  How to run check and clean boot if you have the problem.

  1. click on Start, type msconfig in the Start Search box and press ENTER.
  User account control permission: If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
  2. on the general tab, click selective Startup.
  3. under selective Startup, click on to clear the load Startup items check box.
  4 click the Services tab , select the hide all the Microsoft Services checkbox and then click disable all.
  5. click on OK.
  6. When you are prompted, click restart.
    
  Now, install the game in Windows XP compatibility mode and check.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  .  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
  .  Click Start, type msconfig. exe in the Search box of Start and then press ENTER.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
  .  On the general tab, click the Normal Startup option, and then click OK.
  .  When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.

  Read the article for more information: How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

  If the problem persists, I would recommend that you contact the game manufacturer for more help on the issue, also check if patches are available.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Webcam HP TouchSmart want 20 will not work if Windows 8 installed Ulead VideoStudio 11.5

  I recently got the new TouchSmart HP Envy 20.  I installed the Ulead VideoStudio 11.5 on the computer, the webcam video editor, stop working.  I ran the video editor, it wouldn't load a video.  I tried to uninstall the program, it came with errors.  I got it all fixed.

  I used the free Revo Uninstaller to remove forcibly Ulead VideoStudio 11.5 of the computer.  Webcam still does not work.  I looked in the MSCONFIG startup list, the Ulead VideoStudio 11.5 was in the list.  I have disabled this program, restarted the computer.  The webcam came back alive!

  Hope this will help people who have similar problems.

  Best regards-

  Hello ThatsDave,
  
  Thanks for the information. I saw a couple webcam related questions about Touchsmarts so it is good to know that there may be a conflict with this particular software.
  
  By chance did you advised the Ulead to the same question?
