NB205 - Some Fn keys don't work, Fn-esse uninstall incomplete

I have reinstalled XP from the recovery disc I made.  I started to install the utilities from the "apps and drivers" disc, but was getting uninstall messages so I quit.

 


Some Fn keys work: esc (mute), F6 & F7 (screen brightness), F9 (touchpad), F10 (keypad cursor control), F11 (numlock), and 3 & 4 (volume).

 

Keys that do not work: F1 (blank display), F2 (power profiles), F3 (standby), F4 (hibernation), F5 (display), and F8 (wireless enable/disable).

 

Unknown:  1 & 2 (zoom out/in) and F12 (scroll lock).

 

I have (re)installed the Toshiba Components Common Driver and Toshiba Hotkey Utility to no effect.

How do I recover the use of the keys that don't work?

 

Second problem:  I thought reinstalling Fn-esse might help.  Bad move.  When I uninstalled it, I got a prompt to reboot *before* the uninstall was finished.  No indication other than a very occasional disk light blink that anything was happining.  I clicked on Reboot, and during shutdown a window flashed by indicating some DLL was interrupted.

 

Now, when I try to install Fn-esse again, I'm told that the uninstall was not completed and I need to reboot.  That was about 5 cold-starts ago.  How do I complete the uninstall so I can get Fn-esse installed again?

 

TIA
