my joystick button on my Portege is configured to the defaults (up, down, left, right and enter), but they send digits instead (1,2,3,4,5)
If I have the cross menu up, the button works, but if I have a program such as IE that requires up/down, left/right scrolling, the buttons dont appear to be doing anything.

If I open a new email message, or Txt file, or office file, when I use the up/down/left/right buttons, it actually types the digits 1/2/3/4/5.

I have gone to pen and button settings over and over, and all looks normal, but still having this problem

I too have the very same problem with a Portege M200. The button which performs a CTRL-ALT-DELETE function does work, but the other two just give numbers instead of the navigation (UP-DOWN-LEFT-RIGHT-SELECT) that they are supposed to.

In Properties, I have set their functions to operate under all screen configurations (Primary & Secondary, Portrait & Landscape), but it just seems to ignore this and continue with the old 1-2-3-4-5 jazz instead.

I even thought that I had maybe joined to doofus club and that NUM lock was interfering with their correct functions, but no, NUM lock on or off, they still don't work right. Any ideas, anyone?

What version of the OS are you using?

Windows XP Tablet Edition SP1

This machine has had nothing done to it out of the box other than windows updates (pre SP2) and Office 2000/Lotus Notes 5 installs.

I'm having the same problem too. It started within the last couple of days, and I'm wondering if it's something to do with installing a Logitech cordless keyboard: could it be that the toshiba software which maps the buttons to keycodes has got confused as to which keyboard driver is which? I have previously used a belkin cordless, but didn't install the driver - it worked fine out of the box.

I have since uninstalled the logitech software, but no dice. Which of the toshiba programs should I try reinstalling?

FWIW, the crossmenu works properly, just to confuse things.

I'm running XP SP2, the logitech software was itouch, version 2.22...

I hope we manage to get this sorted: the joystick is crucial when running in tablet mode...

cheers,

Tony.

Sorted!

I downloaded the Tablet Button Driver file from the toshiba web site (tbpc-bd-pm200-xp-tbe-1005-en.zip) and installed it, and everything is OK now.

Hope this works for you.

Tony.

Please send a link to the toshiba page with this download. I can find a button driver at
