If you have a System Recovery/Restore Partition reboot and use the F keys or the Restore software in the System Tools. Take a look at this :http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/System-Recovery-and-Recovery/How-To-Understanding-System-Recovery-Options-Creating-Purchasing/ta-p/268269

You may have installed every softwares on your System Drive (typically C:/, where the OS is installed). Try to install them on other partitions, this will free up some spaces.

You may try with Disk Cleanup utility. To use it go to: Start> All Programs> Accessories> System Tools> Disk CleanUp. This will ask you which of the disk to be cleaned up. Select the desired System Drive Letter and click on OK. You may delete Windows Error reporting files, System error memory dump files from there. You can also delete older restore points by clicking on Clean Up System Files. Select System drive letter as before and click on more options. Under System Restore and shadow copies click clean up. This will remove all but the latest restore point.

Hope this helps, Mrityunjay

The speaker might be broken... butr there can be multiple volume controls: one from the keyboard (function key blue?) the general windows one and the one of the application. If you watch dvd use the VLC player, this player can do the sound more than 100%, this is sometimes a good solution for some movies. Good luck!

hi,

try to do a system restore gong back to the time that its properly working,that's the way for you to be able to isolate if its a software or the hardware itself. Once youre done doing system restore and the keys are still not working,that means that the problem is with the hardware itself, most computer manufacturer usually replaced the whole keyboard of the laptop since there is no part no or available part for just a particular key on the keyboard.


Hope this will help... Please rate...

I successfully formatted my Toshiba Satelite laptop using the original recovery disks. However, when I try to restore it using the recovery disks, the systems gives an error message of BOOT MANAGER IS MISSING. The system doesn't recognize the recovery disks and I can not install (reinstall) the Windows Vista on the mechine.

Please help me.

Check your device manger d mke sure you hve not dropped driver.

normally this keys work with windows logo key, but in this case, I can decide it is virus problem, so you should update your virus guard and check your system. if it ll not work then you have to remove your Operating System & install new copy. (do not upgrade OS, create a fresh copy)

please check language settings in control panel as there may be some default option set...

Run check disk for hard drive errors. I recommend immediately backing up all your data that you can, wiping it, and reinstalling your programs. The rebooting problem smells like a bad hard drive. I just went through it with a Compaq at work.
