Because I am an idiot.

I'm on a Toshiba Equium L40-14l running Vista Ultimate. The only thing that isn't working are my volume function keys. Is there anyway to get the .exe back?

It's not in my recycling bin and I've searched my files but it isn't there, so it's completely gone.

Can someone help me please!!

try a windows restore to a date before you deleted it

look on the toshiba site for hot key driver download

I don't back up. I should really I know.

Toshiba site doesn't have it, at least I didn't find it.

Thanks <3

it looks like you will have to reinstall i cannot find anything on that model

one in the same series has only xp drivers available

I'll have to reinstall my os then?

 

[dai]

it looks the quickest way unless someone else knows where to find it

The reason that os discs aren't sold with computers these days are because they come with back up software? I checked to buy vista os and they're around £300+

 

[dai]

contact toshiba for the disk they will probably charge a small fee

when you get the computer these days you usually have to make the disks yourself

it's usually in the paper work on the method

Will they still send me a vista os disc even though I bought this laptop second hand off ebay. It has come with the original box though

 

[dai]

contact them and see

Ok try this out:

Update the bios, go here:

http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/2...m-l40-bios-update-2.20-win-free-download.html

The hotkey operates from the bios for the Fn function keys to work.

Just some info here for you:

C:\Program Files\Sony\HotKey Utility
C:\Documents and settings
These are the folders where hkserv.exe is located in, it will be in one of them.
The file is not a Windows system file
If found other than mentioned, then it is probably is an infection.

I hope this works. I downloaded the update but when I click to install it asks me to open a file whatever I click it says Current BIOS can not recognize the EEPROM type.
