• Lenovo windows not visible (Fn + F5/flight/Bright)

  Hello all, new to the Forum and you are looking for help with my Ideapad S10

  I can't say for how long, but lately Ive noticed that Lenovo Windows that display notifications of changes do not come to the top.

  I press Fn + F5 to wireless, to toggle the WiFi or newly added settings BT, but no window, no more than the wireless status change (stays on) - I can only toggle the setting by pressing the physical WiFi key at the top of the keyboard.

  It goes the same for volume settings and the settings of brightness of screen using Fn + arrow keys, although the values change.

  Normally, I wouldn't care on this issue, but I do not know the hard - key for WiFi wil I would turn the BT settings, once I installed the card.

  I have not changed anything (that I know of) other than the windows of bubbles notifications in the start bar (via RegEdit) and I doubt that this would have an effect on a program of Lenovo.

  I went through MsConfig as well, ensuring that all programs begin at the beginning, but no change it no more.

  I saw there is a difficulty to other buffers of Lenovo hotkey, but I'm not sure it will solve the problem or just add.

• Keyboard not working on Lenovo Windows laptop and stuck on the login screen

  I have a Lenovo WIndows 8 20157 laptop, the keyboard no longer works someday so I restored it.  At that time, I could use an external keyboard.  When the system rebooted, it got to the login screen and will not work.  The screen keyboard and the external keyboard does not work.  The only thing that happens when I use a keyboard (external to the screen, laptop), is that if I hit the button S power options developed.  I can not connect and I can't run it in safe mode.  Already, I have removed the battery and held down the power button, which has not changed anything.

  I took it for someone who told me to restore to factory settings and there are drop down menu in the corner of the login screen, but sometimes the mouse works and sometimes it isn't.  For example at the moment I can't open easy access menu to open the keyboard screen, but sometimes I can't.  Any ideas?

  Hi Jennifer,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft community.

  According to the request, you have problems with the keyboard on your Lenovo laptop.

  As you have made a number of steps to address this issue including restoration to factory settings, I feel that this could be a hardware problem, so at this point in time that it would be better you contact Lenovo for additional troubleshooting support.

  See the link below for contact Lenovo support.

  I received a call from the saying that they would help my dose of my windows problems. Is it a scam?

  Hello

  They are cold, you try to pick up the 'business' calling

  It's a scam.

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

• Missing programs, perhaps a Windows problem

  I was working on my computer very well, I've been on the internet for hours without problem (no antivirus warning and I wasn't downloading anything, only normal pages), and I have existing, up-to-date antivirus.

  Well, the problem is that most of my installed programs have just "party" and some standard Windows programs are gone too. Programs, I had on my system for years and have used several times without problem simply disappeared as well as programs such as calculator and paint. Well, they are the programs that I realized that I have lost so far. To give you an idea, go to start, programs, and usually 1 columns 3/4 programs are displayed, it is now maybe 2/3 of a column. When you go into program files, there is nothing in the missing programs, it seems that they have been uninstalled.

  I have done a complete analysis of the system through Norton Antivirus and came up with nothing. I restarted and then a box come to say a word about "Windows is unable to complete the program installation..." something in this direction, and nothing has come on my desktop except for the desktop, My Documents and trash. I did a restore of the system at the point of older, two weeks ago, and it came up saying: "we cannot complete the system restore, no change has been made."  Arghh!

  I'm computer literate and worked a bit in the it helpdesk and I have absolutely no idea. I think since this is a Windows problem that we may have to clean this completely and started from scratch with new windows. I you gave as the screenshots I can, to maybe give you an idea of what is happening. Note on the last note of screenshot that there are a few things has highlighted. I did not do that, then maybe it's the question? This is the "InstallShield Installation information", "Uninstall information", and "windows update". Also, I am happy to install Real VNC if that helps diagnose the problem. Can you please guide me the case, before you go to all this effort?

  Thanks in advance.

• iPod touch recognized as a digital camera, apple says it's a windows problem

  iPod touch is recognized as a problem digital camera.the says it's a windows problem...

  Hi cuteshey,

  Welcome on the site of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

   

  Solution 1: Update the drivers

   

  (1) the Device Manager open, either by right clicking on computer and then click on manage, and finally on Device Manager, or by typing devmgmt.msc in the box then find (or run) on the bottom of the start menu and press ENTER.

  (2) find the ipod, he (should) be listed under digital cameras, right click it and choose "update driver software".

  (3) select "Browse my computer for driver software".

  (4) for the location (you must have already installed itunes) use C:\Program Files\Common Apple Mobile Device Support\Drivers (replace C: for what is the letter of your system drive), and then click Next, windows will find the driver here and continue to update the driver
  (5) after the update is complete, click Finish to close the dialog box, then disconnect the ipod and plug it in again.

  Solution 2: This seems to be a known issue with the iPhone and iPod touch from Apple, I would suggest also allows you to check the link that contains the iPhone and iPod touch: Disabling digital camera notification in Windows Vista

  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500.

  Juice to ensure that it is not not a Windows problem check the Apple Support Article: iPhone and iPod touch: disable the notification of digital camera on Mac OS X

  http://support.Apple.com/kb/TS1501

  Announcement: Camera, video and photos: answers to frequently asked Questions

  Solution 3: If the issue is not resolved, it is recommended to contact Apple for iPod Touch http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch to have the best support or you can reach the Dell Forums: http://discussions.apple.com and check for extra support and check if they have new updates on this issue and if they can help fix the same.

  Let me know if that does or does not work. Good luck!

  Hope it will be useful.

• Windows Installer + VSS + Windows problems in Windows 7 SP1 Activation

  I used this Windows 7 machine for 5 years now and has recently encountered several problems, which probably are closely linked:

  1. Windows installation problem
  Can't update programs, although new install if they do need Windows Installer to do. Most but not all Windows not updates install.

  2. the problem of volume shadow copy Service

  Failed to create system restore points. With VSS errors appear when I try to do. No previous restore point is available.

  3. Activation of Windows problem
  A pop up keeps appearing every 1 or 2 hours, saying that my computer is not running genuine Windows. Obviously nonsense since this PC was bought during the original Service Pack 1 of Windows 7 and I've never had a problem before.

  I searched a lot online to solve all these problems. I tried hundreds of possible solutions, but nothing has worked. I think that it is all caused by the same thing, but I am unable to find it.

  Ready to provide more information. Thanks in advance.

  (PS: my camera has a pre installed Windows 7 so I own not a Windows DVD, don't want to reinstall the OS, prefer to try to find the cause of the mess)

  Do you have same problems if you create a new user account?

  What Antivirus utility you installed?

  Have you installed a new hardware or software or both since you started these problems?

  Could you describe some of the thing things you've tried?

  Start by checking your hard disk for errors:

  Click Start

  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD

  Click on "Run as Administrator"

  At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r

  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  then

  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any breach of integrity

  Restart your system

  You can also try to perform a repair upgrade to see if it works. You need to download a copy of the edition of so that your system is under license:

  Download Windows 10, 8, 7 ISOs

• Not authentic "Windows" problem

  Story: My Dell Inspiron laptop has been running Windows Vista when initially purchased in 2009.   Dell has provided a free upgrade to Windows 7, and this upgrade went well several years ago.  Thus, the machine has been works well on Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 for awhile.
  Don't know if this is important: a couple of months, I replaced the hard drive.   I did a backup/restore image for the operating system on the new drive.   I don't think that I was invited to return keys validation of Windows at this time here.   I had no problem and the machine worked well after the replacement of the hard disk.
  Now, all of a sudden I get a pop up window that says "this computer is not running genuine Windows.
  However, my Windows is genuine!
  I tried to solve the problem by installing the WindowsActivationUpdate.exe, but will not install.   I get the error message "update installation failed.   Information about the error - 0xC8000247
  I tried to get the Windows product key (from the sticker on the bottom of the laptop) via Control Panel/system/change the product key but it says invalid key!
  Something is clogged to the top, but I don't know what.
  Thanks for any help you can provide.

  Thank you for your response.    I tried several related suggestions and more did not help.   That seems to have solved my problem of Windows Update is reinstalling the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver as suggested by george1009 in your third link above.

  As for my Activation of Windows problem, I typed in the wrong product key.  I entered the key on the sticker on the computer, but it is valid only for Windows Vista (original OS), but not for Windows 7 (current operating system).  I found that my Windows 7 upgrade disk envelope and who had the key valid on it.
  Thanks again for your help.

• Lenovo B540 8 upgrade WIndows: problems of Bluetooth

  Hello. I have a B540 Ideacentre. Just upgraded to Windows 8. Bluetooth for the keyboard and the mouse works fine. However, I can no longer connect my phone via bluetooth. When I try to add a device, no device is discoverable. In addition, there is no longer any device bluetooth in my device manager (it has been). I tried to update the drivers of Lenovo, but without success. Anyone with the same problem?

  Finally managed to do work. In the download folder, found the Win64 folder. In this folder, find the file inst.exe and ran as administrator. Found this solution on another table for another computer.

• Lenovo Windows XP versus Mode XP mode?

  I'm implementing a new W520 ordered with option "Windows XP Mode". Appropriate menu file has entries for "Lenovo XP Mode" as expected "Windows XP Mode".

  What is the difference, if any?

  I hesitate to do what is obvious and try both, since the "first boot" process is not reversible and may (or not) have advantages in the initialization of one of them on the other.

  A ' net search for "Lenovo XP Mode" was a dead-end.

  OK - problem solved and I'm a model. The "Windows XP Mode" shortcut goes to the VM expected. The "Lenovo XP Mode" shortcut is a... Manual PDF!  : sigh: too literal for my own good, but maybe he'll answer the question for someone else on the line.

• T420 driver windows problem 10

  Hello

  I have ThinkPad T420.

  Could someone help to find the drivers for these devics:

  (1) USB\VID_0BDB & PID_1911 & REV_0000

  (2) VEN_1180 & DEV_E823 & SUBSYS_21CE17AA & REV_05 PCI

  (3) PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_1C3D & SUBSYS_21CE17AA & REV_04

  I just upgraded to 10 Windows, and I can't find these drivers. There is no drivers for Windows 10 on the support page. I tried to use the lenovo system update, but completely the thing it installs is "dependence of the device.

  Best regards.

  1. There is no driver win10 of Ericsson and Lenovo for the F5521gw. And most likely will be unavailable again.

  Therefore, to use drivers win7 in compatibility mode, there are mentions on the success on the forum (probably, win8.1 drivers work also).

  Install the drivers in the folder where the drivers package is extracted to launch the following string:
  Setup.exe /wNOAUTOSENSING /wUSELASTKNOWNRADIOSTATE

  2, 3. As you understand, drivers Intel MEI and Ricoh are needed.

  I know of cases successful on ThinkPad Laptops, the SandyBridge-based (as T420) and the upgrade of win10, without problems, using built-in win10 drivers only, and not from Lenovo or components manufacturers. Unfortunately, currently ms update catalog does not load the drivers of their identity documents, because of the error appears.
  So, I can not explain the cause of problem of drivers.

  Finally, I didn't check whether the Ricoh site related win10 drivers.

• Lenovo G510 problem wifi and ethernet

  Hello!

  I have two Lenovo laptops, G50 and G510. The first works perfectly except the second after 10 months started yesterday which have problems with the network adapter.

  The Wi - fi button is grayed out and cannot be opened and the ethernet port can not read any cable. I tried all the solutions I found on the web (deactivation and activation devices, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, updating the system and the system format) but failed. The ethernet adapter does not appear in network devices after the restoration of the system to its point original (format), even after installing the drivers for the network card I found in Lenovo support site. And all this happened yesterday when the only change in the system was a windows update. However if this was the problem of the restoration of the system, update and format should have fixed the issue.

  I used windows 8.1 but now after the format I use 64-bit windows 8. Could you give advice? Could this be a hardware problem? I'm desperate here.

  Really weird that both had fault at the same time. Try the following out the battery and the power source and press the power button without any power supply 5 times. And restart again.

  If not try to work the boot in safe mode with network and see what is happening here. In the login screen hold down SHIFT key and choose reboot option. you will see Win8 advanced options.

• P500 Lenovo WiFi problem

  Hello

  I have laptop Lenovo P500 running under windows 10. Recently, I have wifi problem. The problem is that when the laptop is not connected to the charger wifi does not work. Sometimes, it is connected to the network, but shows a limited access, sometimes wifi is diseabled. Even after I troubleshoot it seems to work for a few minutes. but then, it's the same problem.

  Note: there is no problem with wifi when the laptop is connected to load it (works fine). The problem is that when the tower is not connected to the charger. For this reason, I always the laptop is connected to the charger.

  All solutions?

  I don't know if this is related to your problem, but using the battery will cause the unit to run in a different way compared to the mode high performance when it is plugged. So you can try to change the power plan to high performance in battery mode. Of course, this will cause a more rapid evacuation of your battery.
