ThinkVantage button not working not not after reconstruction

I've been rebuiding a ThinkPad T60 with XP.  All ThinkVantage programs are on the system, but if I press the ThinkVantage button or the volume control buttons, nothing happens.  I missed something on reinstall it?

  • ThinkVantage button doesn't work is not started

    Hello

    I bought a couple of seconds for the W520 hand that accompanies Windows 10.

    LN two machines you cannot interrupt the start-up with the blue zThinkvantage button.

    Research I've done seems to point to this remap after Windows is loaded, which does not at all help.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    The Thinkvantage button should launch recovery for the W520 menu. None of these tools of Windows 7 will work on Windows 10 and there is no possibility of mapping of the key in something similar. The W520 is also not on the official list of Lenovo for Windows 10 support either.

    You can always hit F1 to enter BIOS and configuration during the boot sequence screen.

  • ThinkVantage button (s) do not work

    Somehow, I lost the use of the blue "ThinkVantage" button on my R61i... also, if I click on the desktop icon it doesn't... another words, I don't have have the use of the ThinkVantage software/Productivity Center.  Y at - it somewhere that I can find on the Lenovo site to download?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    I just fixed this myself this morning, after months of trying to get the blue button to work.

    Here's what I suggest:

    (1) see if you still have access to the rescue and recovery - by going "Thinkvantage" in the start menu > all programs menu.

    (2) as appropriate, choose rescue and Recovery > recover to a previous back upward. It should show you the list of backups that are on your C drive. If you are lucky, you will have a backup that date from before the loss of functionality of your blue button.

    This action took 10 minutes and revived my blue button.

    If you do not have "thinkvantage" in your Start menu, you will probably need to download from the Lenovo site, then use the rescue and recovery. Download Thinkvantage re-enter the program for me, but does not solve the blue button.

    I hope it works for you. I'm not a computer tech - just figured this out by myself, after trying everything I could think of.

  • Factory settings Resinstalling when blue Thinkvantage button does not work

    Last year, I panicked when I thought I had a virus. Rather than rely on my own multiple back-up system, I guess someone knew more about computers that I do and let someone else in my computer. My X 60 has not worked properly since. The Thinkvantage button does not work, and it is hit and Miss as to if I can get the thinkvantage functions to work. My wireless radio buttons don't work at all, and the indicator wireless lights turn on and turns off at will.

    I tried to reinstall the application and the update of all implement the Lenovo site, but nothing worked, so I think I'll have to reinstall the orginal factory settings and start over again to clarify these issues.

    I backed up all my data, and made discs (just in case) recovery... now my question is, how do I start to "rescue and recovery" / 'reinstall factory settings' when the blue button does nothing when I push at the start?

    (Works under XP - if that makes a difference).

    Thank you

    Problem solved.

    I managed to get into Rescue and Recovery manually and found that I had a backup on my C drive that existed prior to my problems. I just restore to that date and "presto!" the blue button works again!

    I'll have to spend the rest of the day, re-installing everything that has been added or upgraded from a year, but this simple step seems to have solved my problem. Who would have thought that I had a copy of backup to disk C - I thought I backed everything up to an external drive!

    Tip for any staff of Lenovo, reading this - if your security people knew more about Thinkvantage program, I could have solved this problem months ago - these are them who sent offshore to find updates to day and re - install Thinkvantage to try to get the blue button works again.

    Thank you all.

  • Satellite M645-6114 - ECO utility/media buttons not working not

    My toshiba satellite M645-6114 is about a month.
    Yesterday, I realized that the media buttons is no longer give me a symbol on the screen when I disable or turn off the wifi.

    In addition, the place of the arrow button no longer turns the lights on the laptop.
    Finally I can't open the eco utility at all.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hello
    The media keys (play, pause, eco button) are controlled by VAP (value added package). In addition to use the ECO button, the ECO utility must be installed.

    In addition the FN keys are controlled by Flash Card Utility Support and this tool seems not work so first check if you can solve this activation/restart tool, you can do it in all programs-> Toshiba-> Flash Cards

    If this does not work, reinstall the mentioned tools Note: after each installation, reboot the device!

  • AutoComplete doesn't work does not after installing IE *.

    AutoComplete URL function works does not after installing IE8.  Looking at the Advanced tab properties IE I see an option to use AutoComplete (which is
    ticked off) but it is said to "..". turn of Internet Explorer".  Whatever that means, and how I seized not semi-automatic work again under IE8?  I can go back
    for IE7, if it's the only way.   I tried to hit "reset" on the Advanced tab I saw a thread on try this - but no go...  Thank you

    sjakulski,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    In Internet Explorer 8, the Auto complete option is in a new tab.  Go to tools, Internet Options and then click the content tab.  You will see a section that says "Auto-Complete".  Click on the 'Settings' button and it gives you several choices of auto complete options.

    This should solve your problem.  Let us know if you need more information.

  • Embedded YouTube videos work locally, but not after the FTP publishing. Works locally and on the web in all other browsers. Using FF 17.0.1 and Adobe Flash 11.5.502

    Found a Tube-video, which I embarked on one of the pages of my site. Using FF 17.0.1 and Adobe Flash 11.5.502, YouTube-videos work locally, but not after the FTP publishing.

    I work reasonable locally and on the web in all other browsers.

    Stupid FF?

    The HTML code is as follows:

    <table WIDTH="770" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0">

    I've experimented on the use of < iframe > instead of < object >. No change. Cache cleared on each attempt.

    Any thoughts?

    If it works in Firefox Safe mode and then disable all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) and then try to find out who is causing by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

    Close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit ' (Mac: ' Firefox > leave";) Linux: "file > exit ')

    Alternatively, you can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Volume buttons not working not properly

    The volume buttons on my keyboard do not seem to work right. When I adjust the volume, it is assumed to be a blue bar on the bottom screen to show how much the volume increased/decreased. For some reason, it does not show. That's all just annoying because I don't know how strong my volume is without clicking on the "speaker" icon.

    The volume buttons still work. He can always put on mute, raise or lower the volume. It just does not display it on the screen when I press the buttons.

    Try these 2 links and install, then reboot the pc.

    The Volume OSD is a HP MediaSmart Menu function. He has to load at startup. To do this, start, in the box type msconfig, press ENTER, go to the Startup tab, then browse the list of startup items and make sure it is enabled under the Startup tab...

    Hello;

    People with MS by pushing the Win10 updated weekly, it is not uncommon for a working PC suddenly that things stop working.

    All what I can say is that you work through this thread and hopefully, any of the fixes will work.
