For the PC literate - HELP!!!!!

[Azman]

Still running 7 beta on my main PC as I have had no problems with it at all, great bit of kit and easier/simpler to use than Vista/XP.

Will have a look for the XP drivers and give it another stab over the weeked before buying a dongle.

Oooo also anyone know how I can get my Function key usage back??

Cheers

Function key restoration

Go to Toshiba Europe's site: Linky

Enter the details for your system, then select and download the Hotkey utility driver Satellite L40 [for Win7].

Extract and install it.

Job done.

Function Key Restoration

Did you download the drivers for the function keys from the Tosh site? Fairly unusual to just have a driver for the function keys. It would normally be a driver for the specific keyboard. If you tried the Win7 drivers and they didn't work try the XP drivers.

Best of luck.

What problems are you still experiencing? Still not working? Partially working? Not working as expected?

Is it a particular function that you are missing? For example do you wish to switch between LCD and an external display? Or do you use Fn + F3 for standby and Fn + F4 for hibernation?

The reason I ask is that there is a choice of three possible device drivers. Two of which perform screen switching, one for XP and one for Vista. The third performs the standby and hibernation but has no mention of the screen switch function (Vista).

So here are direct links to each of the above drivers:

i.) Screen Switch, XP. Here.
ii.) Screen Switch, Vista. Here.
iii.) Hibernation and standby, Vista. Here.

I would guess the screen switch feature is the most desirable feature that you are missing. I would try the first link in the above list and see how you get on with that.
