Restore to factory using F11 at startup does not work

Well, that was boring.  I did a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit on my new X100e, and now the possibility to do a restore to factory of the hidden partition disappeared.

When I did install cleanup (64-bit Win7 Pro 32-bit replacement Win7 Pro), I left the only hidden partition and I left the only Lenovo recovery partition.  I installed the OneKey Recovery software - but it's while I was trying to just stuff - OKR not really for the factory still restore (or apparently not at leasst in this way).  I did * not * install all drivers again (audio, video, bluetooth, etc) but I can't imagine that should make a difference.

In any case, so just an as a test, as soon as I got the new version of Windows 7 installed, I tested the operation of factory restore... Restart, press ENTER to interrupt him, and then press F11 to restore.  Nothing.  Only, it was sent in a normal boot - back in 64-bit Windows 7.

Good thing I made the recovery discs and backed up to SWTOOLS.  But I can of course understand how to install a new operating system in the main partition - especially since I left what is hidden and the Lenovo recovery partitions intact - would affect how the BIOS handles the startup and restore function.  The function was working perfectly before this (I've tested this, too.)  Perhaps it is the drivers... perhaps something like device experience drivers change the boot somehow?  Maybe some BIOS setting that changes installation Win 7?  As maybe Win 7 64 brought a change to the boot record changed this feature...

I paint a white... ideas?

Thank you!

(P.S.  Yes, I know it seems strange to want to restore factory after the installation of 64-bit to 32-bit, but I'm really trying to fgiure on how the factory restore has disabled.)

  • Satellite Pro A-153 C50: F11 function key does not work

    The F11 key where I can spend the sound power switch does not work!
    The other keys work correctly.

    Everyone knows how to restore its function?

    Hello

    You use the special function or Standard F1 - F12?
    The special mode of operation allows you to use special features without pressing the FN key.
    This means that if the special function mode, you must press only F11 to turn the sound on and off. In the case of special function mode is off, you must press FN + F11 to turn the sound on and off.

    You can enable or disable the special function mode in:
    Office-> Office help (in the task bar)-> tools & utilities-> function key

    But I wonder if the F11 key works with other software?
    For example: pressing F11 key while using the Internet browser (internet explore) should allow mode full-screen. You can check this?

    Keyboard F11 key is maybe defective and so the sound ON / Off function does not work

  • How to restore my factory settings keyboard? (some keys not working only not on the new unit)

    I bought a HP dv6 - 6167cl last night the Club of Sam and I like the laptop, but for some reason, the right shift - (shift more long 'Break' and 'Shift' written on the key) does not work. I am trying to determine if it is a problem of driver or system configuration, or if I need to exchange the computer to another. It may even be a user error - is there some kind of thing to use the shift key? (function toggle or something)

    Try to back up your personal files and perform a recovery that would put the laptop to a factory State. Instructions can be found below

  • Games used with Windows XP does not work

    Can I install XP on the same computer with 7?

    Games will not work on windows 7... It was the biggest reason outside the Office that I bought the new computer... now my games does not work...

    These are your options to get a game like work on Windows 7.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
    Use the following steps:
    (1) right click on the program
    2) click Properties
    3) click on the Compatibility tab
    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

    Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

    If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, you cannot run Windows XP mode, but you can try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other 3rd party software virtualization and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

  • How to remove the part of an object grouped several using a shape (Pathfinder does not work, cannot get the knockout groups to work)? Kind of like the opposite of a clipping mask.

    I want to remove the portion of these legs inside of this graph, because a white circle solid at the Center intensifies the effect of the spiral.

    Background, the spiral is a mixture of the people flying around in a circle. The circle is then copied and turned several times. I have not developed the appearance again.

    There must be an easy way to do it, but I can't use the Pathfinders, the opacity mask, knockout groups, and make simple layers does not work. I just want to axe the legs of these easy people!

    Thanks to you all!

    Emmanuel,

    If I (put) correctly, you should be able to get the opacity mask to work as follows:

    Select (only) the White path and the mixture and then in the transparency palette flyout on create with unchecked Clip opacity mask and mask invert checked.

    Who must hide the inner part of the mixture corresponding to the white circle and let the front remains visible oin the background (circle and all that.)

  • My product key on a new installation was invalid so then I activated by phone... now when I use windows update it does not work correctly

    My product key on a new installation was invalid so then I activated by phone... now when I use windows update it is not working properly because it says that I don't have a genuine copy of windows... But it seems that the updates don't come down... is it ok to work this way?

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool
    Once saved, run the tool.
    Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
    To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.

  • Keyboard does not. Able to use for the connection does not work after that.

    The keyboard works to connect. But does not work after that.

    Hello Sml15,

    The embedded screen keyboard should still work even if the physical keyboard isn't.

    Try this first...

    Press and hold the Windows key and the space bar.

    If no joy, go to the search bar and with the built-in keyboard, type the filter keys and choose key filter on or off.

    In the window of the ease of access to the keyboard, disable FilterKeys.

    If all goes well, which will fix the problem.

    Let me know how it turns out.

  • With recent updates, restoring with restore points is more and now IE does not work properly.

    I just had a few security updates for my machine and now there is no restore points, restore reports again that restore points are invalid, try another date of restoration (I'm guessing on this one).  Internet Explore ceased operation (for denial of service in IE error messages).  Norton finds nothing.  Any suggestions?  P.S. I don't browse the internet, check e-mail, or any other activity on this machine and only play an internet game on it.  Any suggestions or helpful hints before moving a complete system recovery disc?

    You used the word "n" and system restore in the same paragraph.  It's a good sign for boredom.

    Here are a few known issues in SR and Norton, you can read and see if they will work for you.  It is possible that your SR will never work unless you reinstall the system restore (not XP - just the system restore part) which would mean you would lose all your old PHI from scratch with new RPs.

    I can't help you with your IE, but if you provide the following information, maybe someone else can.

    SR already worked successfully for you in the past?

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    What is your version of Internet Explorer?

    You have a different browser like Firefox or Chrome that operate and is only IE afflicted?

    See if IE will work if you click on start, programs, accessories, System Tools, Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

    What is the exact error that you see when you try to use IE?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
    What is the issue that you are experiencing that you think that the system restore will be remedied (or you are just convenient)?  System Restore is not a time machine.
    Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.
    For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
    Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
    It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
    According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.
    Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.
    System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
    That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).
    Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.

    I would like to deal with the problem as if there was no such thing as the system restore, fix your other questions, stabilizes, then get your SR works after that.  Certainly, it should work well, but I wouldn't count on it as a way to solve problems.

  • AutoPlay on startup does not work in SharePod

    I have a PowerPoint presentation in which I put the presenter of "AutoPlay at startup" setting and "Loop continuously" and the "default slide duration' is 20 seconds.  Nothing else about the reading of the presentation has been defined in the configuration of the PowerPoint slide show.  When in the Connect meeting room, I can unsync the sharing module where the presentation, click on the play button, and it starts to play.  But as soon as I resync so that participants can see, it stops playing.

    When you load a presentation in a Connect room, it is assumed (by program) that present you the content, or want to control when it will present. Thus, it does not use the AutoPlay on start option. This option is specifically for delivery on demand. You should be able to leave the sync'd presentation and in the Pod Options menu for the share pod, select the PlayBar show option. Then press play, and it will start playing the presentation for everyone in the room and should loop if this setting is enabled.

  • Check for new messages at startup does not work in the first period of 10 minutes after v38 updated. Work at the end of 10 minutes. CAUSE unknown - went away after reinstall

    After the 38.0.1 of 31 thunderbird update does not check for messages at startup, tried on two workstations, mail for a single account on each account, one was pop and other imap. The check box in the accounts-> server settings has no effect. Or not safe mode or the option advanced messages "include this server when getting new messages". "." Activity Manager shows not even he is trying to connect. The question mark function still works well so if I wait 10 minutes he gets messages automatically...
