Re: Satellite keyboard Funtions vs. VmWare Workstation

Hello

I'm new to this forum...
I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite U500-115.
After you install all the programs I need, I noticed that the eco and the start/stop button lights buttons didn t work anymore.

I uninstalled programs Toshiba - nothing works. So I installed win 7 pro x 64 again.
Buttons worked!!

I discovered that vmware workstation 6 and 7 are at the origin of this problem.
As soon as I install the vmworkstation software the keys won´t work.
Uninstall--> buttons work.
I don't want to use both: buttons and vmware 6 or 7.
It seems to work with vmware 5.x, but this version of vmware is officially not recommended to work with win7. It takes about 10 minutes push button vmware initially until the vm ware starts booting.

Perhaps someone could confirm this problem.
Hope of a quick solution!
Concerning
bachmayeah

Maybe it sounds pessimistic now, but I don't think you'll have a quick solution to this.
The feature tools and utilities Toshiba is tested with the own operating system preinstalled and not with some third-party additional party software.
Can you imagine how these applications you will find there? Who should test the functionality with hundreds of other application? It is certainly not possible.

I use VmWare, but I imagine that there is a problem where two applications met the other.

Sorry, but I don't think that there is nothing you can do about it.

  • Mouse USB and keyboard problems in VMWare Workstation / Ubuntu 8.10

    I am running VMWare Workstation for Linux version 6.5.0 build 118166

    My host is Ubuntu 8.10 / 2.6.27 - 7-generic and I am hosting another instance of the same operating system on the same machine.

    The problem I see is that the keyboard and mouse misbehave / erratic from the host machine. It is a multimedia keyboard 1.1 Microsoft wireless

    There are essentially two problems:

    (1) dedicated cursor keys / pageup / to / home / delete do not work properly. For example, PageUp wants to take a screenshot.

    (2) the mouse seems slow to recognize clicks / trolling. For example, if I click on a tab in Firefox and move immediately, the tab starts to drag. Even if I click on an image and then move the mouse - drag is initiated.

    I tried several combinations of keyboard layout in the case of Ubuntu comments does not. No problems of this nature in the host, or an instance of XP comments.

    Any suggestions?

  • VMWare Workstation 11 mouse issues

    I had a mouse and keyboard issues with VMWare workstation for awhile now so I thought that I would like to tender hand for more help.

    I have several Virtual Machines (Linux, Windows 8, Windows Server), who doesn't take the host mouse or keyboard. I've upgraded to Workstation 11 thought that would fix it but it did not. I manually upgraded the improved keyboard driver that now allows the keyboard to work within the virtual machine. Mouse still broken - I see the cursor, but it does not move. I try Ctrl + G, does not work. I tried to reinstall the VMWare tools, but you must have access to the guest operating system to do so. I tried to install Windows 10 VM last night but could not go beyond the wizrd of installation because the mouse does not work.

    Is this a problem with my mouse host driver? It's just a classic USB mouse. Is there the VM Ware drivers specific to the mouse. Please help, because google is not. I don't want to just switch to Hyper-V

    If I update to VMware® Workstation 12.0.1 or now VMware® Workstation 12.1.0

    and restart the system 10 Windows, the keyboard and the mouse freezes.

    There is no way to have a system that responded to the questionnaire.

    The Start button / stop and restore to you last saved Point is the only solution to support the system.

    Hello

    I installed VMware Workstation 8 today to use Windows 8 Preview developers. But I have a problem.

  • USB foot pedal problem (Infinity IN-USB-2): recognized by Windows but does not work on VMware Workstation 10

    When I connect an Infinity IN-USB-2 pedal for my guest Windows 7 Professional (on Ubuntu 14.04 and VMware Workstation 10.0.2), the pedal gets recognized by Windows and different applications, but by pressing the pedal itself has no effect.

    I downloaded a USB foot pedal Tester (http://vec-infinity-in-usb-1-foot-pedal-tester.soft112.com/) on the client and he acknowledged that the device is connected, but when I pressed on any of the three pedals, the tester has not detected the presses.

    I tried the pedal on a real Windows computer, and it worked fine.

    When I connect the pedals, even with the guest in the foreground, VMware Workstation will appear a dialog box:

    The specified device is claimed by another (usbhid) driver on the host operating system. The device can be used. To continue, the appliance will be first disconnected from its current driver. [Cancel] [OK]

    When I click 'OK', we state above: Windows recognizes that the device is connected, but foot-presses are not detected. My other USB devices are not pop this dialog box. (Click Cancel maintains the device disconnected from the guest.) I don't know if the dialog box is significant or a red herring.

    Here's what/var/log/syslog says when I connect the pedal with the Windows client in the foreground:

    kernel: [281434.822751] usb 2 - 1.7: new low speed USB device number 28 using ehci-pci

    kernel: [281434.920667] usb 2 - 1.7: new USB key found, idVendor is 05f3, idProduct = 00ff

    And when I click on "OK" to the dialog, he said:

    kernel: [281480.900448] usb 2 - 1.7: reset low speed USB device number 28 using ehci-pci

    When I unplug the device, it is said:

    kernel: [281517.582472] usb 2 - 1.7: unplug USB, the device number 28

    Thanks for the ideas on solving this problem.

    Answering my own question: I spoke with a salesman who told this pedal does not work on virtual machines for the following reason:

    These pedals are all just Universal USB controllers that require programs or applications to be able to see and recognize them for use. Because they are installed by the base of Windows and Generic USB devices drivers, they can not be seen my remote computers via USB sharing etc.

    They recommended using a hotkey program to work around the problem. I have not tried this solution, but bought a different pedal that works out of the box with VM: a vP-1 vPedal. Lower build quality than infinity (in my opinion) but it works perfectly.

    This is the idea of the key of the seller:

    I have a solution that will allow you to use the pedal as expected if the remote program who need to use supports the use of shortcut keys. For example, these pedals are commonly used with NCH Software Express Scribe professional software. This software can use either a pedal, or you can assign the playback functions to access keys. In the scenario you are talking you re Express Scribe on the remote computer to use keyboard shortcuts, you then install Pedalware (http://www.altoedge.com/pedalware/index.html), a free Windows only the foot pedal utility made by NCH Software, you then use the Pedalware utility to assign the buttons on the pedal of a keyboard shortcut that coincides with those remote program.

  • VMWare Workstation 10 - jerky and unresponsive under load. [UPDATE: DisplayFusion cause possible] [SOLVED: DisplayFusion parameters]

    I have a problem with some VMWare Workstation customers, which case the mouse and keyboard to the virtual machine stops responding for a second or two under load. The mouse cursor stops, or jerk around the screen, and once past the load will be generally shot in another part of the screen. Similarly, the keyboard will become unresponsive, but when the load goes it will tend to double/triple type characters have been typed during the slow down.

    I use these virtual machines primarily for programming and a good example of the guest being "under load" is when I am compiling; It is a heavy load of CPU and i/o load.

    Two 64-bit Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 comments behave in this way, even if a Windows 2003 R2 plu prompt does not work.

    The virtual machines are configured with 2 GB or 4 GB, which is set to adapt to the host (who has much free). Virtual machines and disks are on one of the the two SSD drives. They are both configured to monitor several. In both cases, there is a virtual primary 60GB, preeallocated and no split disk and a virtual disk of 10 GB, allocated in advance, do not divide and define it as independent.

    I tried a number of settings, including having acceleration 3D on and out, manually replacing the CPU virtualization settings in VMWare and I tried all the following settings (together) and of which none have solved the problem:

    svga.vramSize = 134217728

    mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

    sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

    prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.

    mainmem.backing = 'swap '.

    insulation. Tools.Unity.Disable = 'TRUE '.

    If I connect via RDP to these machines, rather than using the workstation console, I do not understand the problem and there is not any particularly notable slowdown in performance

    I had this behavior earlier in 9 work stations, but the upgrade to 10 did not make a difference.

    Someone at - it recommendations for investigating or fixing this problem - it renders useless VMs for software development which is their main purpose?

    Thanks in advance for any advice or help.

    My host system is as follows:

    Mobo: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO

    CPU: Intel i7 2600 K

    RAM: 16 GB

  • VMWare Workstation v.6.5.2 suppresses the display of controls in Microsoft Expression Blend

    I tried to install Expression Blend on different OS in VMWare Workstation 6.5.2 v. and got the same result.

    Any dialog box displays only the default button that has the focus.  The rest of the controls on a dialog box are invisible; Although they respond to the keyboard (Alt + key short) assuming that we can guess the short key of the invisible control.   After completing the installation of mixture by using the shortcut key controls of the dialogs in the installed software appears unless the mouse is hovered over them.

    I had this problem with VMWare Workstation 6.5.2 Vista Ultimate, Windows XP Pro or Win 7RC running.  All of them display the same result for both Expression Blend v. 2 and 3.

    No idea why?  Is there a display setting in VMWare that could cause orders are invisible until this that over?

    I had the same problem, I solved it by uncheck "Accelerate 3D graphics (DirectX 9.0c)" and then properly installed Expression and display correctly.

    Hi noor21

    If you have similar issues using internal and external keyboard, then I recommend you to run a recovery process that would fix the laptop back to factory settings.

    After this check, if your BIOS is up to date.

    If the keyboard problem will always appear even if you define the laptop back to factory settings, you must contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba because the keyboard failure may be related to hardware problems.

  • Toshiba button Support do not work with VMware Workstation

    Hi all

    for all people having the same problem - * Support Button Toshiba do not work after the installation of VMware Workstation.*

    Short solution:
    After the installation of vmware workstation 6.x or 7 - the default setting is "Disable Autorun on the host". (you can find it in: Edit-> preferences-> devices). Release the hook and restart. After the reboot, the buttons should be working.

    The long version:
    Support Button Toshiba uses the Windows function "MobilePC" - > "Hotstart". HotStart only works when the autostart feature is not disabled (the value of registry key: + HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Po licies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutoRun + has the value 0xFF). VMware is the default to disable Autorun of CD/DVD. Turn on the autorun, restart the Qosmio and Hotstart (and also Toshiba button support) works very well. That's the problem.

    Thanks for the solution. :)

  • K6V69AV #ABA: HP Desktop 500-520qe: cannot install VMWare Workstation

    I try to install the virtual machine using vmware workstation or vmware player.  But it gives me the message saying Intel vt - x is not enabled. I've seen a few videos youtube that says that I need to enable virtualization, but I don't seem to have seen.  Can anyone suggest if there is something else?

    Hello

    Open the command run and enter: MSINFO32

    The returned information will tell you if virtualization is enabled.  If this isn't the case, then you need to make a change in the BIOS to turn on VT is defined by default to disable.  See the image below.

  • Stuck ImageAssist - VMWare Workstation 12

    Hello world

    I'm having a problem where ImageAssist is blocked indefinitely at a point whenever I run it. I try to capture a Windows OEM 10 image created using VMWare Workstation 12. This post describes the exact steps I took:

    ImageAssist crashes and then to 32 of the stages of this process, as shown in the screenshot below:

    I actually left ImageAssist running overnight, and it never progressed beyond that point. The virtual hard disk is certainly big enough (60 GB) and I had no problems with the image at all. I even started from scratch and re-created the entire image to test again and ImageAssist still crashes at this exact point.

    Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    Windows 10 does a lot of things during a "Windows Update". Running it in a virtual machine is a good idea as not getting driver updates. There are a few more things that occur that cause problems. The reason ImageAssist fails generally after an update is because the system can no longer be Sysprep. To check that you can browse manually to sysprep. C:\windows\System32\sysprep and run the executable. If sysprep fails, the AI tool will also fail. The biggest culprit is when the OS is upgraded. Windows 10 will upgrade to the latest version which won't allow sysprep run. Microsoft tells us that "Redstone" will not have this problem. You should also know that the 'Crush Saga of Candy' and 'Twitter' can install, causing sysprep to no longer work. I hope this helps... TK
