  • Right click on the "back" button to see the history? You got to be a joke.

    Every day, it's something new...
    Why the hell see you correspond to remove the arrow on the buttons ' back/forward' that has allowed to look through several pages of previous or next drop VERY PRACTICE? Yes, I am well aware, that you can now achieve through a right-click on the button, but come on, that's just stupid. Nothing of that at all intuitive.
    Stop the deletion of these options. You may want to it a certain way, but that's great for you and you alone. We give users the ability to keep these settings very simple and ridiculous way we want that they.

    You can also hold down the left button of the mouse on the active back or forward button until the list opens.

  • Update the system: does not start after upgrading to Windows Vista SP1.


    I had the same problem. Called Lenovo, the response was:

    N ' - what is Vista come with SP1? No! Then, it is not a supported configuration. You're on your own! Bye: Pei

    Well, there is a feature called "Automatic updates" and Microsoft forces you to use - and you're foolish to not use it! In any case, I hope the support to the Denmark, named Thomas, and his bosses to get a better attitude towards customer.

    My question was simple. He was missing a Windows Service called "system update". It is implemented in "C:\Program Lenovo Update\SUService.exe.

    I had register service menually. There is a tool in the .net framework called InstallUtil.exe. The SUService.exe is implemented in .net, the InstallUtil can help.

    Start a command prompt by right-clicking and choosing "run as Administrator".

    Run:

    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe "C:\Program Update\SUService.exe Lenovo."

    Modification of traces according to needs. If InstallUtil.exe is missing, it could be part of the .net SDK - do some research on Google.

    Go to services (in the contral Panel - administrative tools) and start the newly created service "system update". System update now worked for me.

  • Window Vista Ultimate 2007 backup files empty on the external drive.

    The computer is a desktop HP running Windows Vista Ultimate 2007, 32 Bit OS, RAM 400 GB and Intel Quad CPU 2 .4GHz.

    I ran Windows Vista backup for a full backup and a backup of the file.  When I look at the external disk to verify the backup files are empty.  There are two created on the external hard drive, but both files are empty.  The program indicates that the backup routine successfully on the external drive. I have not received any error message.

    I use a Toshiba external drive with 500 + GB.  I have a lot of room.  I tried twice.  The first time I reformatted the external drive using Windows and revived the full backup only.  Once again the image file on the external drive shows 0 bytes, 0 files.

    I wonder why the backup files are not getting moved on the external drive.

    Hi BEM Consult,.

    1. are you allowing Windows to choose recommended backup or you choose "Let me pick" option on the backup configuration window?

    We recommend that you connect the external hard drive on another computer and check if the size of the backup file is in the list.

    Check if you have selected all the items in the backup settings to create a backup file. Try to create a new backup file by selecting all items on the Backup Wizard and check the result.

    See set or change automatic backup settings

  • key Ctrl, alt and right click on the keyboard won't respond or work

    I work on Window Vista Ultimate (HP Pavilion tx2500 Notebook PC) and my ctrl, unresponsive keys alt and right click. So I can't use ctrl + c ctrl + v (or others) on any of my programs (such as Word or Firefox). I can either use ctr + alt + delete. And right-click on the keyboard button (which is the same as the right click on the mouse button) is not responding or the other.

    I have already tried various things such as:

    1. pressing the combination alt + ctrl + fn
    2. "unplugging" the usb adapter (and even that I am not too sure of doing things)
    3. uninstall the keyboard driver and reboot
    4. restore the computer to factory settings
