    Is this a clean install or not? I know that since I have installed Windows 7 on my laptop with a clean install, some of the Fn buttons no longer work.

    To change the brightness since since the Fn button isn't working you only need to go into Windows Mobility Center and change it there.

    Also, try reinstalling the drivers for this.

    Run this from start menu.

    Toshiba/Utilities/Restart flash cards.

    If it's not there, install that, then do it. :)

    It appears that I had disabled a few services (trying to optimize my machine).

    When I re-enabled everything, rebooted, its now OK.

    I will try to redo the whole thing taking note WHICH service I disabled...
