Unhappy Solved: 00htkey.exe request
Hi all,

Been working on another friends pc and having problems with the hot keys utility. After googleing for approx 30mins i've not been able to find a sucessful file to download.

To put a long story short, the utility on the toshiba's website is naff..

The laptop is a Satellite psm30e (for drivers, go to archive, satellite > Satellite M series > Satellite M30 > psm30e > windows xp)

There is a download called "Hotkey utilities for display drivers"

There are three files in the hotkey util.. "tftn5.cmd, tfnf5.exe and tfnf5wxp.inf"

Inside the cmd file it says:

"@ECHO OFF
ECHO.
ECHO **************************************************
ECHO *** Installing 'Display Device Change Utility' ***
ECHO **************************************************
ECHO.

SET CD_Drive=undefined
FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST "%%i:\html" SET CD_Drive=%%i:
IF (%CD_Drive%)==(undefined) GOTO CD_ERROR

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %CD_Drive%\Hotkey for Display Devices\English\Tfnf5Wxp.inf >nul

IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO FAIL
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO OK

:FAIL
ECHO.
ECHO ***************************
ECHO *** Installation failed ***
ECHO ***************************
ECHO.
GOTO END

:OK
ECHO.
ECHO ******************************************
ECHO *** Installation finished successfully ***
ECHO ******************************************
ECHO.
GOTO END

:CD_ERROR
ECHO.
ECHO ***********************************************
ECHO *** Could not determine CD-ROM drive letter ***
ECHO ***********************************************
ECHO.

:END
pause"

After looking at the code, its trying to look at the cd drive (which the util isn't on..) so I opened up a cmd window and typed in "rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %CD_Drive%\Hotkey for Display Devices\English\Tfnf5Wxp.inf >nul" but with the up 2 date location of where the inf file is..

When i log onto the pc, i still get the message

"Retrieval of THotkey failed. Error code 0x00031402"

The fn keys also don't work because of this. Any help would be grateful!!

Thanks,
Matt

WOO!! Fixed it, Download the Common module and install, then config free, then controls.

Job done!
