  • Satellite P100-221: FN key combinations do not work properly

    Hello

    I have the satellite p100-221 with pre-installed Win XP MCE. After a week of using my computer, a problem with the function keys blue appeared. FN - f1, fn - f2 and all the other fn keys combinations do not work properly. They seem to work, I can change the brightness, switch the touchpad on and out and so on, but no icon on the Info screen appears. While pressing the combination of function keys, the icons on the screen shows the time. How can I solve this problem? Is it software or hardware related?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    I put t think that this question is related to the material.
    I recommend the update of the Hotkey utility.
    On the page of the Toshiba driver I found two different versions:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Your device is Satellite P100-221, then I guess the extra number must be PSPA6E.
    Do not forget that you are using the correct drivers for this device.

  • Why aren't my keys PgUp and PgDn working properly?

    Today, after an update of the browser, I find my PgUp and PgDn keys no longer work to scroll my page. Somehow they have become related to being backward between pages, with in return PgUp and PgDn being forward and therefore no sensitive on the pages without transmit or save the settings. It has nothing to do with my stop scroll, I tried. Just confused now.

    Original title: $ 39.99 product key purchase.

    I bought Windows 8 Pro, at a retail location, for my work computer.  I've installed and used the product key, everything went well.  I decided that I wanted to launch Windows 8 Pro on my home computer.  I installed it using the previously purchased cd and now I want to buy a product key, so I can customize it.  The only key that I can find is the $69.99 one, I saw the $39.99 if you download online. I need to download, I just need the key because it is already installed.  When I go to activate Windows and click on the purchase of key A product online, need me a screen for the $69.99 one. Is there a link so I can buy a key for $39.99, I need to download anything, I just need the key.  A call to the service to the customer and a cat in line with the customer service and I still can't get what I want, can you help me?

    Hi Matthew79,

    What edition\version of Windows you are running on the computer?

    Normally the games can be installed any number of times on the same computer with the product key provided. However, if you install the game on another computer be considered wrong licensing.

    Contact the game manufacturer for further information on licenses and buy the game.

    Hello
    If you create a new personal computer , you should consider all the options selection of an operating system.
    Latest operating system offered by Microsoft is Windows 8.1 .
    System requirements for Windows 8.1 are

    • Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with EAP, NX and SSE2 support
    • RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
    • hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
    • Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM drivers

    These Prerequisites are as a guideline for you that you should select when buying or building a new personal computer. Keep in mind, here are the minimum system requirements for Windows work so do not expect a smooth ride because the other programs and applications (we install we use computer) need more processing power and memory.
    Full list:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/system-requirements

    If you select Windows 8 or buy it at a local store, then you can switch to Windows 8.1, at any time for free, see how you can.

    -----------------------------------------------------

    As much as you want to buy a Windows 7 it is only recommended If your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 8.1 , most people like not the metro new interface user, Microsoft has tackled this problem and now Windows 8.1 arrives with an old classic desk which we all love, with the new Start Menu from the live tiles There really difference in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 so I will recommend you to buy a Windows Pro 8.1, if you insist that you want to buy Windows 7 Microsoft have, stopping the sale of Windows 7, but good news is that you can still buy a Windows 7 from different online store.
    buy it on Amazon officially from Microsoft For the Buying Guide , you should buy Windows 7 ultimate to exploit the full potential of Windows 7.
    Learn more about the different versions of Windows 7 and choose according to your needs.
    If you want to download windows 7 of an official no source so that no one can guarantee whether the software is authentic or free of malware and viruses, if you see a link on the Web sites that say to download Windows 7 then it will not give you any Code especially known as the activation key , This will be a trial for 30 or 90 days then your office will go black and the computer will shutdown/restart after every hour.

    There are several ways to get Windows 7 and how do to activate without purchase but keep genuine don't you get.

    once more I'll insist you should buy a windows 8.1 copy rather than Windows 7 because Microsoft is end Main stream for Windows 7 next January 2015 updates and security updates in 2020.
    See the form of Windows lifecycle and learn about it here.

    The best thing about Windows 8.1, it really brings the word personal computer to reality.
    Learn more about Windows 8 and see how he redefined the personal computer Word and brings it to life.

  • I want to buy Toshiba laptop with Ubuntu and windows

    I want to buy a new laptop.
    I don't want to pay 300 quid for yet another stupid Windows (if they are just a version properly, people don't need to keep buying new... oh wait... they make more money...).

    Others don't offer laptops with Ubuntu (and not windows).

    I find myself here, and Toshiba appear also does not provide laptops without windows.
    Why? Why Toshiba offer laptops with pre-installed Ubuntu with no windows?

    I use Ubuntu for 3 years, and altogether, he transformed my daily calculation. No more bloody virus, not 5 minutes log-ins/closures, no more program - crashing down the entire system. It is faster, safer, more flexible and * free *.

    But because Toshiba do not appear to offer it, they can't get my habit (I'm in Ireland, so Toshiba options open to me may be different in other countries).

    Hello

    First of all it s a forum from user to user and you get no response from Toshiba here in the forum.

    But as much as I know that Toshiba laptops are not delivered with the distributions Linux.
    Of course, you can install Linux if you want, but laptops are delivered with the Windows operating system. As far as I know with win 7 64 bit and 32 bit OS.

  • I want to buy MS Access for our office. We have windows XP Professional, version do I need?

    Hello

    I am trying to buy MS Access to our office that runs a Windows XP Prpfessional package. Access has not come with our package, so we need to buy it separately. I'm confused on the question of whether I need a version upgrade or a full version... Please help!

    Thank you very much

    In addition to the table comparison of Malkeleah has already been mentioned, it is possible to buy access as a stand-alone product, which will be certainly cheaper than professional Office. It depends on if you need other Office products or have other installed Office products.

    If you already have an Office suite installed, and want to buy a later version of access as a stand-alone product, I post Office Forum to ask if there can be problems with execution, for example, Access 2010, alongside Office 2003...
