After a more complete look at the owner's manual, it happens that it's not only one but several Toshiba aplications that are
missing, and yes quite a few drivers need updating, including the BIOS and chipset driver. The fact is, this was a relative's
computer and someone did a clean installation from a regular XP CD so the Toshiba Control Panel applications were not reinstalled.
So I will lookup the possibility of getting the Toshiba CD or at least try to find the Toshiba applications. In the meantime, I
managed to lower the display brightness in the BIOS and the Intel's Extreeme Graphics settings.

Thanks again.

you're welcome.

it is not uncommon that
drivers need to be
reinstalled.

try going to their part
of the site where drivers
and downloads for your
model are provided.

or if you plan to keep
your laptop, you might
inquire with Toshiba
about getting the
proprietary cd's for
your unit.

they will come in handy
if you need to initiate
some kind of recovery
procedure if your o.s.
becomes corrupted.

Thanks... I downloaded the owners manual from the link you provided and it seems that the OS is missing a Toshiba application
that should enable the keyboard shortcuts. Will try to find it.

Thanks again.

TOSHIBA Satellite A45 laptop and having trouble with the screen brightness but I can't seem to get it down... the control keys
are F6 to lower and F7 to increase which combined with the "FN" key should work (as far as I know), but they don't do a thing,
the computer is a bit old but seems in great general condition so I doubt the keys themselves don't work, the video/graphics
are strong and sharp, it doesn't make a difference if on power or battery. What do you folks think? wrong key combination,
sequence or what else? Can't find information on the net for that model. Any suggestions?

I would really appreciate some help.

Thanks
