• Windows Wireless keyboard 3000 v2 multimedia keys works only with Itunes.

  My room, then move on to the previous song, Skip to follow and stop the keys on my keyboard don't work for Itunes.

  I have the latest version of Itunes and intellitype pro and Windows 7 64-bit.

  They keys seem to work perfectly well with Windows media player, but not iTunes. ITunes is also set as the default program for music.

  I also tried the solution involving a file called mmkeys.dll, and put this file in the material master record of the ins.

  Before when I had vista 32 bit and an older version of intellitype pro, I change songs, pause, stop, at any time, even when running full-screen programs. Once I upgraded however, it stopped working.

  Please help, this is really boring.

  Compensatory salvation,

  As the keyboard works very well with Windows Media Player, and it does not work with iTunes, so maybe that's a problem with iTunes installed on the computer.

  You can try uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes on your computer and check if that helps you.

  You can also try to update the drivers for keyboard wireless from the link below and check.

• Windows 8 CD - Key works only with windows 7.

  Hello

  I had my old computer, windows 7 Home premium installed by default. However, on the launch of windows 8, I paid for the upgrade to windows 8. I have recently bought a new computer, uninstall windows of my old computer (I formatted). And then install windows 7 pro (I watched the downgrade right and that was supposed to work). However, when I try to use my license of windows 8, it says that my windows key 7 is incorrect. Why is - it does not, I do not envy pay for a product that I already paid for.

  Thanks for your help,

  Thanks for the quick response!

  I am a little disappointed by that. It seems that there is practically no way to get windows 7 back. In this case, I could install windows 8.1 from an ISO and use my windows 8.1 CD - key to activate it right? Do you know where I can get an ISO appropriate to do the installation?

  Thank you

  You can use the Windows 8.1 Upgrade Wizard to download the installation files and create a. ISO for which you can use your retail key.

  After this reboot of the laptop.
  Download webcam for Win 7 software and launch the installation.

• Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E: Touchpad not recognized using Win XP SP2

  Hi all

  I just got a Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E, which is preloaded with Vista. It is also comes with a 'product' XP SP2 recovery CD I had to use because of some software work with Vista compatibility issues.

  Unfortunately, everything works well except the Touchpad, which is not recognized by XP at all (without entries, error or not, in the Device Manager).
  The "Recovery" of XP CD installed the drivers of the Alps and the Toshiba Touchpad utility (for turning on and outside), so it seems that it is supposed to work.

  It is activated in the BIOS (which I have also flashed to the latest version, just in case) and is enabled in the software. I also rebuilt the laptop using the "Recovery" CD (the touchpad is not also recognized by starting on the CD "Recovery" which I guess uses WinPE).

  It does not work on Vista, so it shouldn't be a hardware problem.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Thanks in advance.

  Andy

  Hey Buddy

  Well in your case I would recommend going to the Device Manager and remove the touchpad in the list of devices.

  Then visit the European driver Toshiba page, choose your model of laptop, Win XP OS and download the driver for the Alps Electric and Synaptics touchpad.

  Install both drivers, reboot the laptop and check if your touchpad will work correctly.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro A300 - can I get a new recovery disk?

  Hi people

  I want to do a clean install on my Satellite Pro A300 laptop, but the only thing is I can't find my recovery disc I made. When I did everything first he is there anywhere I can get a new one?
  I checked the section drivers but nothing is there

  Thank you
  ADE

  Hello

  If you have always installed the Vista version that was bundled with the laptop, you can create a new disc of recovery again.
  Just launch the Toshiba recovery disc creator and create a new one that s all the!

  In addition, you can reinstall Vista if you use HARD drive recovery option. Therefore, you need to go into the advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer. Some files are loaded and then you can choose the Toshiba Recovery option.
  But this is only possible on the preinstalled Vista version.

  In the worst cases, to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly:

• FN keys do not work on my Satellite Pro A300

  I have a Satellite Pro A300 with Windows Vista business, and some of my FN stop working.
  I have tried to re - install the package of added value, but it changed nothing.

  Can someone help me?
  Thank you

  Hello

  Not quite sure, why some of your FN buttons stopped working, but the fact is that utility support memory card Flash controls the FN keys and you should try to restart Flash cards first.

  Select all programs-> Toshiba-> Flash cards, and then restart the tool.

  Also go to Control Panel - tools and performance Information - adjust Visual effects

  Here the function "Use Visual styles on windows and buttons" option on the bottom must be enabled to allow the Flashcards software work
