fn key Drivers for Sat. P500 - Windows 7 (32)

I want to keep using Windows 7 and all my other functions work except for the fn keys. I downloaded: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2373403&rpn=PSPE8U&modelFilter=P500-ST5801&selCategory=3&selFamily=1073768663

 

But the keys still don't work. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do??

That's the problem with installing an Operating System prior to it being OFFICIALLY Released or Supported.  Toshiba is working on Windows 7 drivers for their products and should have all of them available by the October 22nd OFFICIAL Release Date.  Until then you can try the Vista Drivers to see if they work.  Otherwise you'll need to wait for Toshiba to release fully functioning Win 7 drivers.

And Toshiba is STILL releasing Windows 7 drivers and other updates.  They haven't finished yet.  They released several for my system yesterday.  Give them time or call the technical support number to ask them when they'll be addressing the problem.

For anyone else experiencing the same issue, I downloaded and installed:

Toshiba Software Installer for Windows 7 (v1.0; 10-16-2009; 31M)


and it worked :smileyhappy:
