Last update makes the material useless?

Fortunately I was with my Thinkpad T60 last night when the final update notification skipped upward. There were some updates available (the usual kind) so I let it install and went about my business. After you install the updates, a reboot was required, so I let the laptop restarts.

To my surprise and shock, the keyboard and pointer are now unusable. According to Device Manager, the devices are error code 37 - "Windows cannot initialize the device drivers.

The pilots have no 'dismantling' and have always worked very well until this update, and now Microsoft does not support the operating system.

Microsoft had the intention to make the unusable material in the hope of forcing hardware upgrades to the equipment running Windows 8? It's like manufacturers cars turning off the engines in their older cars to force people to buy new ones.

Unacceptable.

Microsoft Tech was "Bruno" and I contacted Microsoft Chat due to the error immediately after installation of Windows Update...

Now - this start...

I booted up the laptop, and of course, pointer and keyboard do not work. Tried several keyboards USB, NO WORK. Each of them indicate that the driver cannot be initialized, and these were borrowed from running systems.

Then I see this unfamiliar popup informing me that there is some important updates of windows available... at like 16:15 Eastern... 09/04/2014 on my XP based machine.

Synaptics update via windows update. Installation and restart required.

Restarted and I'm back in business. I'm quite certain that Microsoft had to receive a lot of complaints of "dead" computer for them to release another update after the "end of support" declared.

At least they fixed, and I hope that all of you who have experienced the same is back running.

Oh, and Lenovo offers only the drivers for the trackpoint. I was about to give a go when the popup appeared.

  • How to revert to the previous version. Last update makes the new windows appear less of a complete new window should appear.

    I have my system tell me when a new update is available. Happened today. I downloaded the latest update. My Firefox now sits at 38.0.1.

    I use no legs. I want a new separate window for all that I opened. Since the upgrade this morning... when I open a new window, it is fine. But when I click on something in that window when a new opens up and it doesn't seem to be an entirely new window. There is no tool bar and it doesn't seem to be a way to have displayed toolbars. So I have no control over this new window except to reduce to a minimum or nearby. That's all. It does not appear as a tab either.

    It sucks! This was?

    How to return to the previous version before upgrading this morning? Otherwise I'll have to find another application to use other than Firefox, because I don't like it at all.

    Thank you

    Another solution is to modify some hidden settings related to windows dialog style. Should not you make changes to the way you use Firefox, but sometimes you need to enlarge some small pop-up windows that have been sized for a window with no toolbar displayed.

    Here are the steps:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste feat and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) for each preference that begins with dom.disable_window_open_feature. , if it is not 'true', double-click it to true.

    You may find that you prefer this anyway, given that sites can band is more these pop-up windows features.

  • The last update disabled the right click.

    Last updated FF7 disabled right click in FF only. How can I restore it?

    TIA

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See basic troubleshooting: make a new profile:

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • T61, Vista Business with Cisco VPN problem since the last update on the Lenovo site.

    Hello

    I use a T61, Vista Business, Cisco VPN Client v.5.0.02.0090.  Since my last update, October 2, 2008 on the Lenovo ThinkVantage Productivity Center site, I can't connect to my VPN Office. It was working perfectly before this software update. The only thing I remember is the update of the driver for Intel 4965AGN card v.12.x. I went to v.11.5 but it's not better.

    When I try to connect, I get the message "secure VPN connection terminated by a peer. "433 reason: (reason unspecified peer). I did a test with 'ping' IP address of the VPN and the response of the address.

    Usually, when the VPN Client is able to make the connection in the network connection window, I see "connection to the network space 2 (the Cisco VPN system map)" enabling / disabling Disable to activate the State. But there in my case, turn it off.

    I can connect with another PC using Windows XP. Thus, the VPN works.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    I met a very similar problem with my X61s. I was able to fix this by removing the print reading software for which an update was also installed on 2 Oct. As I barely use the fingerprint reader, it wasn't a problem for me. The Cisco VPN worked never better...

  • Last update to the Version of 5.07.003 Lenovo system update leaves without running.

    The recent update of Lenovo system update does not work on my computer of ThinkCentre M82 on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit system. The initial screen appears and the program terminates immediately. Center solutions marked Lenovo an error saying that update system had not checked for updates for the last 30 days. I uninstalled the version he and re-installed from the Download Center on Lenovo, but it still does not work. I run it with administrator privileges. I gave permission to run under Windows Firewall.

  • Last update of the custom settings lost, extensions, etc.

    This week, through the opinion of the Manager to update, I've updated my Dreamweaver CS6 (and other products CS6).

    When then restart Dreamweaver, I noticed that I had lost my layout custom; all DW extensions have been listed as installed, but were not available. I had to remove and then add back to be available.

    Have not done enough to see so many losts otherwise customized. Although, noted that some indicators I had added code was gone and had to be redone.

    Disappointing because I lost time and not even sure exactly how I got the custom layout.

    Was there (or in the furture is) all what I could have done before the update to ensure would not have lost these precious settings?

    Has been a pain and make me hesitant to be updated in the future. I have not yet checked with Flash Pro to see if something similar occurred.

    Wanted to make users aware of this and perhaps warn people of DW of this behavior.

    Thank you

  • DON'T DOWNLOAD THE LAST UPDATE OF THE BIOS

    Updated HP had me to download an update of the BIOS today (10/01/13) that crashed my computer. He showed a blue screen and says that the BIOS is not ACPI compatible.

    Here is how I fixed my computer:

    1. I restarted my computer and kept pressing the ESC key.
    2. A menu came, and I pressed F10 to access the BIOS options.
    3. I selected the option "roll back BIOS.
    4. Once the BIOS has been restored, the computer restarted and says that Windows failed to open and he began a process of auto repair.
    5. During this process, he asked if I wanted to restore the computer to a previous state, while it was working properly. I said yes.
    6. When he was done, the computer was working again.

    This may solve your problem if happen you, or has already occurred.

  • Last update broke the audio playback.

    Everyone has had problems with their audio playback after updating to the new tools of gold 5.0?

    My game has roughly around 5 sound effects play.  I just did a player for each effect and then I have them prefetch at load time.   I keep track of what's currently playing and when I want to play another, I stop playing effect, if any, and start the next.

    Now all this code worked for my current game and 4 other games for 3 months.  The old 9550 beta Simulator 5.0 ran something comme.320 and this one is execute.535.  I am about to release my game, but now the testers reported, the game freezes when they improved a.607 ou.612.  So I installed the latest tools and the game will freeze now in the Simulator.  Everything works on my appareil.320

    I can solve the problem if I ever stop/interrupt an active player, but this reduces the quality of audio support still further.  The game freeze Player.start (calling).  He never returns back from this call.  It is stuck at MediaPlayer.transitionWait ().  I tried various fixes such as starts the new sound in the recall of playerUpdate at the end of the media or stopped event.

    I noticed this change.  If I break on exceptions, it appears on the stack.  It was not there en.320 is kind of fish.  Also, it is really hard to run with exceptions now and play the game as it keeps popping up.
