• G8D94PA #ACJ: is it possible to change the function of the FN keys?

  Hello

  I sometimes use windows 7 32-bit due to my software dependency. in some software I have to use fn keys (F1 to F12) frequently with the combination of other keys. It is possible to enable the functionality of the fn keys as from now on if I have to use F5, so I use FN + F5 combination. So in this software I have to use F2 to F7 & I have to press CTRL + ALT + FN + F2 to F7.

  Please share any solution...

• Satellite Pro L850 - Driver/tool for the display of the functions of the F keys

  Hello

  I have a L850 Pro of the Satellite with "nine" Windows 7 Home Premium. I had to reinstall windows and I do not have the recovery DVD, so I used a Windows DVD installation and installed the drivers manually.

  The only thing I miss now is the display of the F1 to F12 key functions (like brighter, stronger, touchpad switch, Wifi/Bluetooth power and so on).

  Can you tell me, what driver Toshiba or tool do I need?

  Thank you very much.

• Change the function of the shortcut key of media on the laptop itself player

  Hey everybody,

  I was wondering if anyone knew a way to change what is the shortcut key to player of media on the laptop itself? I have the power button / stop, Internet, Media Player, Play/Pause, Stop, Rewind and fast forward, but the Media Player shortcut key is pretty useless to me and I would like to change its function, to open Outlook instead, but nobody knows if it's even possible?

  I'm almost certain that there is a way, but I can't seem to find, if someone can help me, then I would be really happy,

  See you soon.

  Hello

  I remember that it was possible to attribute the different functions of the control buttons on several units.
  I put t know which unit you use, but you should check the application of Toshiba control buttons that could be installed on your laptop.
  You should find it in the control panel

  This application could allow lets you configure the control buttons.
  But if this software does not have this option, you will not be able to change the features

• Satellite C850 - remove the functionality of the FN keys

  Hello

  I have a laptop C850 who has defined as default for some operations, function keys like brightness, sound, enable and disable the touchpad with the * F1 *-* F12 * keys accessible together with the * key to FN.

  I can understand why this has been done because the majority of people use no * F1 *-* F12 *.
  I do however as a developer.

  It's annoying to need to support on * FN * + * F5 * to reload a Web page for example, when I was using just * F5 * during the past 15 years or so, especially as * F5 * on its own turns off the touchpad, or who need to support on * FN * + * Alt * + * F4 * to kill an application instead of just * Alt * + * F4 *.

  Is it possible to remove the feature "extended" of these keys and return to the standard * F1 *-* F12 *?

  I can unsintall an application or a service that deals with this, or perhaps there is a setting somewhere (I had a quick glance, but can't find it).

  I appreciate there are other solutions, for example * Ctrl * + * R * to reload instead of * F5 *, but that's not what I'm looking for.

  Thanks in advance.

  Toshiba has developed maps flash utility to facilitate the use of some basic stuff. It works with the FN key combination. If you n key press FN t, you can use a standard feature of Fkeys.

  When you want to reload the page, you can press F5 only and don touch need FN t at all so I put t understand why don't you write all the time on the FN keys combination.
  >... I have been using just F5 during the last 15 years or so, especially if like F5 on its own turns off the touchpad, or needing to press FNAltF4 to kill an application rather than simply AltF4.
  It is not truth. You can just press ALT + F4 and you can close some applications. FN, you must use when you only use additional options (specific Toshiba). It is clearly described in the document s user manuals.

  If you n t as you can remove the utility Flash cards. It is a part of the VAP (value added package).

• Re: Satellite has - how to restore the functionality of the FN key?

  Once from time to time (perhaps after a few updates?) the FN key doesn't work. What should do? I tried to install the update to the BIOS on the Toshiba site - the version already is 190.

  Hi idof,.

  It would be useful that post you some information about the operating system and your model of laptop. I can t find in your ad.

  With regard to the FN keys: in your case I would try to update package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards. It should work :)

• function of the Escape key

  I work in artificial intelligence more than PS, so my habits to HAVE are hard to break. A difference of interface I ran across was the feature key "esc". AI hit 'esc' saves the current changes in the symbol editor and moves the user to the artboard. In PS, hit 'esc' cancels any editing tool, such as "turn" or "Puppet Warp" without saving changes. The function of "esc" PS is probably more appropriate, but it is annoying for someone who is used to the workflow I. The image of my frustration when I worked diligently on a session 'Puppet Warp' and lost it all by pressing "esc". All the world has noticed this inconsistancy in both programs?

  It is something that has been adopted by many users of Adobe. They felt, and we hope a review / option of customization for this feature soon.

• Satellite A660 - meter problem and the function of the power keys do not work

  Hi all

  The drop down menu that appears when I pressed on the FN key disappeared as well as when I turn of the backlit using FN + Z, light under the keyboard just turns off but the light beneath logo buttons on it near the power buttons and satellite does not turn off. How can I solve this?

  The computer displays the electric meter error and eco top near power button never lights energy saving does not work. I tried to reinstall the driver of programs/toshiba eco, but it says BIOS not supported.

  Before you try to reinstall the VAP, try to restart the Flash Cards Support utility. Utility support card Flash controls the FN keys and you can restart it in all programs-> Toshiba-> restart Flash Cards

• Can I extend the "sticky key" function key "fn"?

  I need to use the 'home' and 'end '. On my ASUS keyboard, these keys must be pushed simulaneouly with the "fn". I have only one arm that is imposible. Can I extend the "sticky key" function key "fn".

  My computer is an ASUS UX31E.

  Hello WarwickZD and warwick1,

  The short answer is no.

  We cannot extend this functionality to the Fn keys.

  In order to get this kind of functionality, you would probably need to investigate the 3rd party software.

  Best regards

• Satellite M70 - not all the FN keys available in Win Xp

  Satellite M70

  750, 1 G DDr2, ATi x 700 PM

  I use XP + Vista, firstly I updated my BIOS to 5.10 under VISTA

  FN works great under vista. However, in XP only ESC + F1, F2, F3, F4, F10, F11, F12 work

  Only the F1 has an icon when I press LCD brightness, wifi, tounchpad power and Fn + space not working do not.
  No change, no show the icon?

  Anyone had this problem before?

  Hello

  The FN keys don't work on your laptop running Win XP because of the BIOS.
  You have updated the BIOS that is specially designed for the Vista operating system.

  So you will be able to use the FN key in Vista, but some simple buttons will not work with Win XP

  There are also other BIOS (at that time 1.50) that has been specially designed for Win XP.

  So, if you use two BONES; XP and Vista, then you must decide what OS must support the FN keys.

• Y460P: Cannot replace the delete key

  I removed the delete key, because it was not pressing down correctly. After cleaning the surface under the key, I tried to return the laptop key like what I did with the other keys... Place it in the slot and press downwards.

  However for some reason that the key doesn't cut in place... the left side of the key hangs in the position, but the right side do not hang anything.

• Error - "the CD key you entered is invalid" when trying to install the Windows XP computer.

  Original title: Windows XP CD Key can expire?

  My old machine with Windows XP installed should be trashed. I want to install Windows XP on a netbook Eee. The Win XP CD is a CR - ROM with the retail CD. It was given by my former neighbor who worked at Microsoft and purchased at a reduced price.

  Trying to install Windows XP, I had pop-up window "you entered the CD key is not valid. I installed Windows XP Home edition using this CD key several times on my old machine, to clean the operating system after a certain period of malware infection. The CD key is certainly valid.

  So what's happening? The CD key can expire after a certain number of years? Note that what's happening during the initial installation - before the first logon. There is no internet connection. So it is not possible for the installation check if this CD key is used elsewhere.

  I tried several times. Whenever I got this error in the installation step "installation of Windows.

  The message itself is that I quoted above "the CD key you have entered is not valid.

  These are the typical reasons, you would get such a message:

  1. the user enters in the key not associated with the retail disk but another key, usually on top of the COST of the PC sticker.

  2. at least one of the characters has been entered incorrectly. This could be because of user error or a faulty keyboard.

  Just to be sure: you use a real retail CD? Or is it a generic OEM CD that was bought in a store?

  A way around this problem is to use an XP SP3 integrated in a installation CD. If your CD is SP2 or earlier, you can create one on the scale of SP3, using a process called "slipstreaming". Then everything just when it's time to enter your product key, don't! Then you will see this window:

  You will have 30 days to activate (and enter the product key). This page should help:
