    Hi there. I'm new here so I'm not sure if this is the right place for my question. I'm sorry if it isn't.
    I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A205-5812 but I was having some problems so I reinstalled the Vista. I think I did everything right, it's working just fine. The thing is that the FN key doesn't work anymore. I searched about it and I guess the problem is I don't have some driver installed, probably Flash Cards Support Utility. But I can't find it for my laptop model anywhere!! I already tried Toshiba website but they don't have the one for my model either.
    I really need someone's help, I going a little crazy here! :err:
    Please, anyone who knows something that might help me, please let me know.
    I will be waiting. Thanks a lot!

    :wink:

    Check out the drivers here. You're probably missing some Toshiba Utility. (Maybe Toshiba Assist)

    Hey Andy!
    Thanks for your help, but I've already checked this and I can't find the right driver.
    Do you have any other idea? Please?
    Thanks a lot!!!

    I had similiar problems with my asus (I am prowling these forums a lot because I want to take the Toshiba plunge) and it was just a software that I didnt install because the programs are not well described and thought it was bloatware, just installed it and it works fine.

    Have you tried all the drivers that Andy linked to? I only ask because you specifically mentioned looking for a 'Flash Cards Support Utility' which is listed on the Toshiba site, which is above linked to by Andy. The list is specifically for your laptop...

    A quick glance at the list... I would first try this one:

    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/...egimddcgfkceghdgngdgnj.0&ct=DL&all_docs=false

    If that doesn't do it, these two:

    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/...egimddcgfkceghdgngdgnj.0&ct=DL&all_docs=false

    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/...egimddcgfkceghdgngdgnj.0&ct=DL&all_docs=false

    If none of the above do it, then I'd go through the list and try all the drivers on that site listed as 'Toshiba Utility'
