Satellite A300-149 - issue keys FN on installed Win XP

Hello.

I bought laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-149.
On this system operational Windows Vista has been implemented.
To use HotKey to include Wi - Fi or Bluetooth. FN + F8 keys. It was displayed in the upper part of the screen in a revealing beautiful graphic menu.

Now, I had to put Windows XP. I want to use the shortcut key and the menu in the middle of the screen.
Are these features already in Windows XP, or do not have the driver. This driver is required to put on it?

Hello

The beautiful graphic that is displayed with the FN keys belongs to the Toshiba Vista FlashCard utility!
According to the name it s a tool Vista and can be used _ONLY_ on Vista OS.

Windows XP supports the functionality of the FN button too.
Everything is the same, but the icons and the graph that is displayed using one of the FN function is different.

All that s

  • Satellite A300-1tim: - issue of the multimedia keys

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-1tim: PSAGCE-08X00GPL.
    After reinstalling Windows (Vista 32 bit), everything was fine until the moment when I wanted to turn off the backlight touch multimedia keys, those just above the keyboard (above the F1 to F12 keys).

    Mute, play/pause, stop and change of tracks in Windows Media Player buttons worked very well, except the second button - turning on WMP (but it was flashing after pressing).

    Some time ago, I had these configured buttons in a way the first person (currently silent) turned to the large backlit, second one - a shot on Winamp.

    I installed the package of added value and Toshiba Assist. Now, in Toshiba Assist, after choosing "Toshiba buttons" I only empty fields.
    When I chose to browse and dir: TBS try to choose any function (e.g. drive - disable backlit) it appears in the path and Description sections, I can type something in Option, but nothing appears in the section last but the most important: button name, has nothing to choose, blind fields on the list.

    Of course after you press the register there is no response when I press any button.
    Maybe someone has seen something like that?

    HWSetup I can turn back-lit, but this is not the point, I would do it with a single button as before.
    Value added package 1.1.19 installed with FeatureSelect.ini 1.1.14 (common failure of Toshiba) also chcked v. 1.1.14 (two versions available)
    BIOS 2.20
    Toshiba Assist 2.01.04

    Checked the registry and saw that I have all the keys in the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Toshiba\TBS\DefaultSet ting\
    I don't want to dirty it so I did not change anything

    BTW, sory for my English: bravohelen:

  • Satellite A300-1ED-CD-key for the installation of Vista OEM?

    Hi all!

    I have question. Can I legaly use cd key of windows vista Home premium preinsaled on my Satellite A300-1ED to install a clean oem Windows Vista Home Premium without toshiba or mcafee software?

    Many thanks for the answer!

    You can try to do, but it won't work. This key will not activate your own operating system preinstalled.
    This product key is for the recovery image, that you got with your laptop.

    Many people understand this wrong, especially when they sell old books on eBay and wrote: legal production key is on the bottom. And what to do with this key? You can't do anything with it.

  • Satellite A300 - LED multimedia keys do not work if iTunes is reduced

    Hello

    I own Satellite A300 - 1 9 (PSAJ4E).
    Is it possible to let the LED buttons multimedia "Play/Pause", "RW" and "FF" to work even if iTunes is reduced to a minimum?
    Atm because they work only when I actually work in iTunes and the moment where I reduce iTunes taskbar it blocks for play/pause, etc!

    Thank you

    Jonas

    Hello Jonas

    I don't use iTunes and cannot comment on the functionality of the buttons with iTunes but I know it's Toshiba don't offer notebooks with pre-installed iTunes and these buttons are, by default, designed to work with Windows Media Player.

    You can use these buttons with other players, if possible, but Toshiba does not support the features with any other third party application. For example, I use these buttons with Winamp and everything works perfectly.

  • Re: Satellite A300-234 - product key does not work with another disk the

    Broke the new Satellite A300-234, flied Windows Vista. I did not the backup copy of the system. At the system from a disk of another laptop Toshiba A200-23d.

    The key away. What should do?

    Hello

    The point is that the product key from the underside of the laptop can t be used with another drive in Windows. It s just for the preinstalled OEM version and doesn t work with other versions.

    Normally you n t have to enter a product key if you are using the Toshiba recovery disc because it contains a picture of the factory settings and is different from a disc of Microsoft Vista.

    Anyway, as said Akuma you can order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.
    The another model of laptop recovery disk will not work because the hardware is different.

  • Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) - hardware problems after I installed win7 ultimate

    Hello and good day,

    I installed win7 ultimate a few days ago, windows was able to recognize most of my material accepts my build of microphone and camera and another component, I'm not sure what it is (Windows Update automatically downloaded the driver of sound and graphics for me).

    My questions are - where you can find the remaining drivers and where can I get the preinstalled Toshiba tools and software? (The site pilot in the support page Toshiba does not include drivers and software)

    Thank you very much
    King Ben Simon

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) too and installed Win7 Home premium and everything works perfectly.

    Initially, I must say that I do not know where you are looking for the drivers and tools of Toshiba and that all things because utilities are downloadable on support Toshiba & download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

    It is logical that MIC will not work if you have not installed the appropriate driver. Installing drivers only and not using Microsoft update. What you need are the real and tested and not some free drivers of the internet.

    Go to the Toshiba download page and install all the stuff following this order of installations:
    -Win7
    -chipset driver
    -Storage Manager
    -display driver
    -driver sound
    -modem driver
    -utility supervisor
    -infrared
    -patches
    -configfree
    -VAP
    Hardware - toshiba
    Control - HDMI
    -WLAN driver

    Everything works well but lacks some drivers

    Added Vista tips:
    Toshiba - help - working properly
    -Card reader - installed correctly
    -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
    Driver - Synaptics

  • Satellite A300 - 27 X - Wireless is not installed

    Hello!

    I bought a Toshiba A300 x 27 the last day and I cannot connect to my wifi network as the wireless device seems to be uninstalled.

    When I go into Device Manager, I see 'controller Ethernet", with a yellow exclamation point listed under 'other devices '.
    I downloaded some drivers of your wireless download page. Problem is that I don't know what wireless hardware is inside this laptop, so I don't know which driver I excactly must download and install. I tried a few, but those who did not.

    I had vista 32 bit installed.
    Sorry for my English.

    Hello!

    You use the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?

    On the Toshiba site, you can search your model and then download the driver:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    As far as I know, the Satellite A300-27 X is equipped with an Atheros card or Realtek WiFi but you can check it with the ID of the seller as Akuma has suggested.

    And don t forget WiFi must be enabled with the hardware switch on the computer laptop and FN + F8.

  • Satellite A300 PSAG4E - FN keys displayed on the screen

    Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAG4E
    Windows Vista

    You press the FN list does not appear on the screen of choice
    Jobs such as Bluetooth or Air other options and note that it works, but without the watch on the screen list

    Tried to download your site definitions, but unfortunately I have not found the definition for this

    I think that this option is required (accessibility)

    Thank you

    Hello

    The FN keys are controlled by Toshiba FlashCards Utility.
    This utility is part of the added Toshiba Vista package

    Therefore, it would be desirable to remove the old VAP and reinstall the new VAP downloaded from the European pilot of Toshiba page!

  • Satellite A300-1EG multimedia keys don't work in Win XP

    Help me!

    Lighting does not work.
    Where can I configure the multimedia keyboard drivers?

    Maybe the necessary computer special drivers for WinXP?

    Hello

    If I m not mistaken the A300-1EG belongs to the series of PSAG4E.
    Is this good?

    The Toshiba page provides all the XP drivers but the controls are missing

    Toshiba controls is a tool that is needed to get the Toshiba control buttons work.

    In your case, I recommend checking and then reinstalling the controls of the other Satellite A300 series.

    Hello

    It's very strange.
    Have you tried to reinstall Windows 7 again?
    I recommend you to repeat the installation of the OS!

    After installing Windows 7, you must install all the driver Win 7 and tools such as value-added package that is essential for Win 7

    Last but not least go to BIOS (F2) and set it to default settings!
    Save the changes and exit the BIOS
