Toshiba Satellite A200: [Fn]+[F9] - doesn't work

[egrabrych]

I'm looking for owners of Toshiba Satellite A200 laptops, with Vista Home Premium 32-bit operating system, in which the key combination turning the touchpad on/off - [Fn]+[F9] - doesn't work.

Sometimes a notebook requires software for the function keys to work.

Yes, submix8c posted a link to that effect.

What is needed is - I presume - the Toshiba TVAP:

First, I'd like to thank everyone who replied to my post.

I can't add much more myself, since both laptops (there are two!) which this problem concerns are not mine and at this point I don't have access to them. Because, aside from the "Satellite A200" name, these two laptops have nothing in common, I thought that the "Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista" is the cause (in either of them, Windows Vista was preinstalled without the SP or, at best, with the SP1). But since you suggest that one of the TVAP programs may be the culprit, I'm going to look into it more closely. Of course I'll post about the results, though rather not anytime soon (for the already mentioned reasons).
