Keyboard problem with key C on my Satellite L40

(Sorry for the typos)

Hello

I had a problem with my keyboard and FN function:
I installed windows XP on my L40. I also installed all the drivers from the download page. All the drivers work well, also the hotkey driver.

My problem:
If I want to write normally with this does not have the 'c' button, I have to press FN to a 'c '.

Can someone help me? It cannot be normal.
Thank you

You are right. This isn't normal behavior.
One question; update you the BIOS to version Xp after installation of the XP operating system?
The BIOS should be updated if you use XP on this laptop Vista.

  • Strange problem with its virtual on my Satellite A100

    I have a problem with Virtual Sound on my Satellite A100-638 with Windows XP. If VS is turned on and Windows plays a sound of Windows, as when an error appears, the volume increases.

    When the VS is off, the problem does not exist, but I would have turned on VS, cause, I play a lot of music! I tried to upgrade level or upgrade to other versions of VS, but the problem is still there. I also tried to uninstall and install my sound card drivers.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Hello

    I put t know what is the problem. Your description is incomplete and very strange.
    Usually it's not easy to say what's wrong because you have already installed the 3rd party applications that could only unique functions or have a bad influence on all operating systems.
    I assume that the registry is damaged.

  • Problem with keys Fn + F10 on a Satellite A120SE-189

    Hello

    I am facing a problem with my Toshiba Satellite A120SE-189: the F10 function turn off by pressing Fn + F10.

    Although the F10 function on, I use the keyboard Overlay. Yet, when I try to turn it off (Fn + F10), the keyboard does not work (as it should), but also the keyboard and the space bar don't work at all. In addition, arrow mode indicator still lights up, even though the lights appear softer.

    How could I solve the problem?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Daniel

    In front of me, I have Satellite Pro 120 and I tested the functionality of FN + F10 and FN + F11 with Notepad. In my case everything works fine. I really don't understand how it can stop working. You can try to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool. Maybe it helps.

  • Problem with Polish letters on the Satellite L50-B-177

    Helllo,

    3 days ago, I bought Toshiba Satellite L50-b-177 and I installed all the updates proposed, including the new version of the BIOS 1.70.

    Right now I have problems with some of the letter Polish such as?,?,?.

    In some Polish letters programs do not work at all, and in others only some of them.
    I changed the language (Polish), type of keybord (Polish programmer), region (Poland) and many other options in poles and Poland. Does not always work.

    Can you help me? Should I switch my laptop?
    I contacted with the center of Polish service COMP, but they sent me to this forum.

    I recommend you to check the external USB keyboard functionality.
    If external keyboard works properly, the problem could be linked to a malfunctioning internal keyboard.

    In addition its recommended recovery the laptop to factory settings and check the functionality of the laptop as part of the default factory setting.

    _UPDATE: _

    This seems to be realted BIOS bug and I guess you have to wait until the new BIOS will be published which could solve the problem

  • Problem with the software Modem on Satellite Pro L40

    I tried to set up a connection Dial-Up Networking on a Satellite Pro L40 running Vista and can't get the modem to talk to the modem from the ISP. The connection appears OK and then you can hear the modem dial, but when the ISP picks up there is a bit of yelling and then my modem abandons the connection and I get the standard vista connection failed box.

    Things I've tried:
    -latest drivers for the 2.1.77.0 modem (and the rest of the system) downloaded from Toshiba and installed OK
    -all the updates of windows installed
    -removal of the modem in the Manager of peripherals and re - install
    -suppression of the agrsmdel.exe and then re-install
    -try different cables to plug into the phone jack
    -several different ISPS and phone numbers
    -reduce the maximum speed of the connection
    -connection to the same ISP with my Satellite L10; works very well never have time!
    -using the windows to diagnose and repair the tool (set last resort!); says that the modem works fine and can not find a problem with the connection

    Is it possible that the update of the BIOS on the laptop would make a difference (currently v 1.60)? I did some research on Google and found messages on various forums, which suggests that the connection between the motherboard and the modem chip is a little doubtful for all the Agere Soft Modem; If the case is it something I can fix myself or I should go for warranty repair?

    Hello

    I'm sure that there is no problem with your modem, but with the configuration or even s ISP modem. I recommend you to speak with the support of the ISP.

  • Problems with online information product Toshiba Satellite R830

    Hello! I just bought a Toshiba Satellite R830-146 with the following general specifications:

    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
    CPU: Intel i5 - 24010M
    RAM: 4 GB DDR II
    HARD DRIVE 640 GB

    I had install/configure these days.

    In addition to the original, Aministrator account, I first worked with what turn on the machine and the installation/configuration of starting the process, I had to create another account to user with administrator privileges. The reason? Because the settings of Internet Explorer 9 in the original Admin account were somehow gone corrupt: some web pages that I absolutely have to work with because of professional reasons cannot be properly charged more, and these web pages are only compatible with Internet Explorer, not any other browser, Mozilla or anything like that. After several hoyrs work trying to solve this issue, I couldn't find a way to solve it.

    So I created a second administrator. User account (with the intention to delete the original Admin account if it worked OK); and in the admin again. account 9 IE works fine in any web page but I this is my problem with the Toshiba application online product Info begins.

    Namely: Toshiba OPI app doesn't work at all in the admin again. user account, even if it worked perfectly in the original account of amin - and it still doesn't work (I haven't dared delete the admin account of origin). When it is running in the new account admin, Toshiba OPI shows only an error message. I tried with UN-install the utility, then put it back in the admin again. account - no result, problem still there and Toshiba OPI still works fine in the oldest account where the IE 9 settings are corrupt, but false in the new, where everything works fine.

    So, why don't I just uninstall Toshiba OPI, delete the older admin account and forget all about?, you ask. Well, because among all the specific software Toshiba provided with my machine, this seems to be the one and only piece of software that maintains a current alert on, locates, downloads and installs the necessary drivers, BIOS updates and other. Software specific to the computer of the machine it does basically what Windows Update performs the operating sistem. Like many other users, I usually end up uninstalling the pre-installed software, specific LABELTEX, most of the machines that I buy, because it most of it isn't useful. But I still like to preserve the piece of software specific LABELTEX update which is updated regular with LABELTEX criticism or specific patches to the computer/model instead of having to regularly visit Toshiba support & updates page to see if it is something urgent. And this piece of software in question seems to be Toshiba OPI utility, in this case.

    So I wonder if anyone has a diagnosis of why this does not work in all the admin. accounts (and no, the problem isn't that I do run the program with two admin accounts connected and active I already checked that), and how could I solve apart from uninstalling the Toshiba OPI and oblivion, that would be very easy , but I would not do.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    In the last years I ve changed 3 portable Toshiba and the first thing I did was to remove the OPI and several other specific applications of Toshiba. Why? All of them start with Windows, slow start-up of the laptop, run in the background for nothing.

    My experience Toshiba doesn't offer new things every day, so in general you can use OPI every two months to check whether or not something is offered again. You can do this when you start your laptop with the original admin account.

    You know, that these questions are not easy to explain. Toshiba has tested pre-installed software and functionality with the original account. Who knows what is corrupt with your admin account and what have you done in the past.

    In my opinion, if you want to keep your configuration, stop OPI to run with your extra account and be happy. Each connection of two months using original admin account and check for updates.

  • Problems with the installation of recovery - Satellite A300D - BSOD

    Hello

    The laptop in question (TOSHIBA Satellite A300D) recently stopped starting (BSoD).

    So, I tried using the recovery disk, but there is no help. What happens is:
    -After about 10 minutes of waiting, the first language menu load, so I click on "next".
    - Then I again click Next and accept the message that my HARD drive will be erased
    - Then I see a cmd prompt that says "try to remove all the letters of partitions possible...". »
    -There is also a minimized command prompt that says something like "RAID failed to initialize."
    -And then nothing happens.

    Is this a hardware problem? I also tried a full installation (instead of recovery), which, even once, is simply not. None of the errors is - it just freezes.

    Any help appreciated.
    Thank you.

    It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but if you were not able to install the OS by using two different facilities CDs/DVDs, so there must be a problem with the HARD drive.

    The warranty is still valid?
    I mean you can contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and explain the situation. They can swap the HDD and again test the recovery procedure.
    Can you get somewhere 2,5 SATA HDD for testing?

  • Problems with MSN messenger on the Satellite A200-175

    Hello world

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-175 with Vista home premium OEM Act.
    I have this laptop for a year and a half. Right from the beginning I had many problems with MSN messenger. Whenever I'll have conversations, or MSN messenger is just on, it gets bogged down.

    I tried everything to fix the problem:
    -removed MSN and downloaded again
    -tried other versions of MSN
    -tried MSN with and without messenger plus!
    -removed Norton anti virus (a human from a computer store told me that might be the problem)
    -installed new my computer everything
    -Make a new email address (this time it @live instead of @hotmail)
    -stop the Starter sets

    But nothing helps!

    I'm desperate...
    Please, can someone help me?

    Good bye

    I see many things possible were tired and I have o say I would try the same thing, but I lack one important thing;

    Have you installed updates for Vista together? I mean there are a lot of new MS patches and fixes available and new in SP1 came out too.

    So I think you should keep the OS always up-to-date to ensure a good working order

  • Error message "A problem with the cooling system" on Satellite A660

    Hi all

    Hope I can get help here. I got about 5 laptop computers HP after each of them had problems and errors. I got sick of them and so got a refund and bought a high spec A660-1FH.

    The A660 is a great laptop for two days until yesterday when I started having a saying of warning message "a problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the power immediately and return it for service "."

    The cpu fan works fine you can here it turns and the temperature of the processor i5 - 460 m is around 40 degrees for two hearts - that seems normal to me. I noticed that this happens only when running on battery, and if you switch from eco utility to the power saving mode. Its fine when running on the "balanced" power setting The fan is louder before when this message appears.

    Like its less than 28 days my retailer swapped it for a brand new immediately. Got a new home page, and the same message reappears. Everyone knows this. Like two laptops had this, I was wondering if it is normal that the laptop A660 series or if it was really a hardware problem?

    I tried to update the eco utility and the bios of the laptop, but the two are the latest versions. Can someone help or share if they have a similar problem with their laptop?

    Thank you

    In front of me, I have Satellite A660-13 q (PSAW3E) and I have about 6 weeks now. It works almost 10 hours a day and so far I didn't notice this message or anything that may be suspect for the operation of the equipment.

    I put really know why this happen on your laptop and don t think that there is nothing you can do about it.
    I would trade it again. What you can also try is to contact the closest service Toshiba. Make a call, explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this.

  • Problem with graphics drivers Nvidia on Satellite A100-049

    I have the Satellite A100-049 with Vista Home Premium. The graphics driver is NVidia GeForce Go 7300.
    Sometimes I get this error message when I start my laptop.
    The error message is "display driver has stopped working and recovered. Problem with nvlddmkm» I checked with Microsoft and Nvidia site, and there is no driver for this specification update.
    Please help me with this problem.

    I suggest the following:

    Uninstall the driver nvidia of your system (maybe it would be good to use the program 'DriverCleaner'-> www.drivercleaner.net), go to these sites

    -> http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
    -> http://www.omegadrivers.net/

    Choose your display driver (and Don t say you do not, the drivers work, I have a Sat A100 with Vista and it works :)))
    Download and then install it.

  • Problem with key 'Shift' Lenovo Y530

    I bought a Lenovo Y530 recently with Windows Vista 64-bit.

    I'm having a problem with the 'Shift' key as they seem to be related to some sort of function hotkey or short cut:

    Left Shift-> on a notebook left SHIFT press types "] yt ' and active / turns off the Capslock. He also started a search or find on the desktop

    Right shift-> by pressing the right shift key prints «...» MV' on Notepad and done something funny

    It is therefore impossible for me to use this laptop. I tried following things so far:

    1. disable the shortcut keys in the Intel Graphics toolbar

    2. all controls 'ease of use '.

    It seems that Shift key everything except what it is supposed to do.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Gerard

    Hello

    I think that I found a solution to the problem. Although it sounds randomly - but it works for me.

    It just open wordpad and begin typing shift with other keys at the same time and randomly - very random and very fast. Hmm and well, it suddenly begins to work properly. It's pretty random and the problem is back, but he always solved with this... well "method" (if you can call it a 'method').

    I have not had the problem for a few months now. So, it does not. It is not a hardware problem safe - and nothing to do with the access keys.

    It will be useful.

    Hello BHASKARPIYA,

    Product Key Finder programs, if someone advises to use, is found only on your operating system preinstalled a Levono multiple factory facilities and will be of no use in these circumstances.

    You will need to contact Lenovo and request their assistance.

    Or a way around this is to buy a Lenovo recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system or use the built-in recovery Partition containing an image of your OS and reinstall Windows like that.

  • Problems with DVD/CD-RW on Satellite Pro M series

    After searching the Forum questions / answers, it seems that many users have problems with the carpet * a 841 s UJ which is equipped with several types of Toshiba portable computers and I wonder why someone from Toshiba has not been able to intervene and to produce a final solution.

    In my case, I can not format a CD - RW or a DVD + RW because the message "D:\ is not accessible" and also "incorrect function".

    If DLA is selected in properties, can be as much as to be shown to a format selection window, but "Format failed due to general failure" happens.

    Toshiba installation CD will work OK (I did this several times after losing data on the hard drive) but the writing seems to be beyond the capacity of the disc.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    BTW, the deletion of "Upper and Lower Filters" registry that I have seen offered as a solution will not work because there is only one entry for low filter - no higher.

    You try to format the two supports using Windows option or using an application like Nero?
    I can't imagine that there is a serious problem with ODD. Test it with Nero. I'm sure it will work properly.
