Satellite P500 - keys open 'find' / 'search' - number NOT used

* information system *: BIOS Version/Date TOSHIBA V1.60, 26/05/2009: Vista SP1: windows explore 8: 64 bit os: laptop Toshiba Satellite P500: computer is less than 1 mth old

* Problem *:
1 keys not 'use' numbers... when any number on the numeric keypad is indexed it activates the field 'Search' or 'search' to the program I use.
2. keypad digital won't "unlock" - light is always turned on.

Example: If you are using IE8 the field 'search' active that if you pressed Ctrl + F or in other cases (using software), the window opens as if you clicked the icon key windows + F.

I guess I have activated a hotkey of somekind... or...?
I can't associate this problem with any program installation or update - had not done anything when I first realized my number of buffer problem.

Windows Vista SP1 - explore 8-64 bit os - computer toshiba satellite P500 laptop. Computer is less than 1 mth old

+ Thank you for your help +... I really miss my keypad use and it is frustrating to have close the active window/tool "Search/search"

I'll probably need the KISS method - I am not real computer savvy.

> 1. Keys not 'use' numbers... when any number on the numeric keypad is indexed it activates > field 'Search' or 'search' to the program I use.
> 2. Keypad won't "unlock" - light is always turned on.

Maybe your first question has something to do with the second point and the fact that you can not unlock or disable the numeric keypad.

Have you tried to activate and deactivate the keypad or by pressing the NUMBER lock using?
Check it!

    Hi shirleyb,.

    > Complete HARD reinstall disk has not solved the problems above and shows the Trojan horse being reinstalled as?
    If you wipe the entire HARD disk, the Trojan horse will be deleted. If this isn't the case, you didn t do a complete reinstallation of HARD drive!

    In any case, I think that Toshiba Recovery disk would be the best option to remove the virus because it erases the entire HARD disk. Boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen.
    He will restore factory in a few minutes so don t you not be concerned about it removes all software. It will be reinstalled. ;)

  • Satellite P500-127: microphone or sound does not work with Skype

    Hello, team Toshiba,

    Recently bought a new laptop.
    However the microphone or the (pebble connexant high definition) sound driver does not work correctly when you use Skype. Also read about in various forums such as the Skype forum.
    People ran into similar problems such as:

    -------------------------------------------
    Usually, we can speak of a little more than 20 seconds, but the call will be at a random time between 1 and 15 minutes. The strange part is that sometimes the quality of the call is good, but more often my friend can't get along * half of what I say * while I don't usually have a problem to hear what was said. The video works so my friend can see talking me but can simply not really hear what I say.
    Before the fall of the call usually freezes for a few seconds and then Skype crashes sometimes. We tried to talk together without the video, but the problem remains.
    ---------------------------------------

    I also found a suggestion by the toshiba service, just to simply increase the volume under the Panel etc, but it does not work either...

    Can you please help me on this one?
    Cannot use Skype at all as she just to boring for everyone I talk... The quality is fair to poor.

    Thank you very much

    + The message was edited: link has been removed - unauthorized +.

    Hello

    I have the Skype m user too and to be honest, everything works fine!
    I can use my internal webcam as well!
    But I m using Win XP with Skype

    I assume you are using Win 7 and Skype

    To be honest, I doubt s number of Toshiba laptop
    If it would be a matter of (audio driver) laptop so you have seen the same problems recording and creating audio files... but I doubt that will happen...

    Therefore, it must be a software problem possibly a combination of Skype, Win 7 and driver Conexant
    Who knows

    But as I said above my Skype works well with Win XP!

  • I was wondering if there is a way to buy a key product for vista, but not using a credit card or paypal?

    I am buying a product key for Vista Edition basic family.  I have a CD, but the product key is used that I use another laptop with vista running.  The CD provided with my old laptop.  I understand that microsoft doesn't sell vista, but I've been looking online and I don't want to pay with paypal (I don't have an account set up) and I don't have a credit card.  Any suggestion would be great!

    Please note that Windows Vista Home Basic OEM only distributed. If your copy has come pre-installed, then the product key should be in the certificate of Authenticity label. In addition, please note that these copies are not transferable, nor can you get another product key if you still have the old one running.

    You can buy a new product key or contact the Microsoft Customer Service for more options.

    It is not possible to search for emails of lotus in windows search, because the mails are stored in the server. Windows search can only search for files located on your computer, not on the server.

  • Satellite P500 PSPE8A - Number lock is stuck

    I recently bought a Satellite P500 PSPE8A-01R002 and the number lock is stuck and does not allow the use of the numeric keypad.
    I have read other similar posts on this forum about the number lock being stuck and the given solution is to download the update of the BIOS.

    When I go to the download page and enter the details of the laptop, a BIOS update for Vista 32 bit is available to be downloaded.
    Can you advise what download will get out of the lock number.

    Hi mate

    Where you look for the update of the BIOS?
    This seems to be an Australian series for Toshiba laptop.
    You will need to search on the Australian driver Toshiba for the BIOS page.

    In addition, intimate case of BIOS is OS independent. Therefore, it should be possible to update also using Vista OS

  • Satellite P500/020 is too quiet

    I just bought a new Satellite P500 and at full volume, is not yet strong enough to watch a movie, unless I have use headphones.

    The audio output is also very poor, I have some external speakers that my old laptop will distort easily, this one wont.
    I tried to adjust all volume controls and play with dolby but it just seems to have a very low output.

    Could this be related to win7? I had to leave my old laptop when I want to listen to. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    I had a similar problem in Vista and Win7 and I need to check the sound settings and make sure that noise was going to the speakers rather than another device.

    Right click of its (speaker) icon on the toolbar and check that the playback device is correctly set to 'speakers' - Mine also says Conexant Pebble high definition Smart Audio Defalt Device.

    There is also a Volume Mixer here option to balance the sounds throughout the system for dfferent applications. Here I have also noticed that when you start a player or the browser you get a new option for its control so double check it when you start your movie.

    Good luck

  • Satellite P500 (PSPE8U) - can not find the drivers for it

    Hello

    I've been and down these forums without success. I watched a lot of forums for the drivers for my P500. I've been through the pages of support sites toshiba of Europe, Uk, Australia and Japan... no chance either. I tried to contact the ebay seller I bought, apparently it is now out of business. It goes without saying that the laptop came without any driver disk. Unfortunately, one of the drives died on me and had no time to do a recovery with all the drivers disk. So now I'm really stuck. Here are the details of the laptop should anyone have brain waves for me-

    P500 - PSPE8U
    Windows Vista 64-bit
    ATI HD 4650

    At the time the largest bad head are the video drivers and my battery life is around 30 mins without the toshiba software. The stock of the resolution is a disaster without the correct driver. I tried the ATI46 drivers * from their site, but the application tells me that my hardware is not supported.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Satellite P500 with model PSPE8U number belongs to the US models and therefore all the drivers and tools that you can find on the Toshiba U.S. page:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com

    Just check the underside of your laptop again for the exact model as P500-S1234 number, then you can find the right drivers for your model. :)

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi AndrewF,

    Have you noticed the same problem on a preinstalled OS from Toshiba?
    As far as I know Satellite P500 are always delivered with Windows 7 OS provided with your P500?

    Anyway, in your case I would try updating the BIOS. You can get the latest version on the Toshiba site.
