Windows 7 is not supported (the screen brightness problem)?

I called Lenovo technical support to see if they had a solution for unable darken the screen in Windows 7.  The suport person told me to load the most recent drivers.  I did and then recalled with my file number.  I told them that the suggestion did not work (I knew he wouldn't).

The guy asked me if I had received the update of Win 7 from Lenovo, and I said, 'no, I bought Windows 7 and installed this version.

Finally, when he realized that he couldn't help me, he told me that they couldn't give me more help because I had loaded "unsupported software.  Apparently, they believe Windows 7 (if not received Lenovo) 'no software support!

I had the same problem, I have just upgraded to windows 7 this week and could not adjust the brightness, but after the bios updated everything it worked perfectly.

Here is the link for all the drivers for your choice of system the correct bios for your system, which should be the 32 bit one

  • Unable to show a WMV file, because Windows 7 does not support the G2M4 codec

    I use windows 7 and I got a file wmv of my employer.  When I try to see I hear it but I can't.  The message I get is:

    "No decoder module appropriate:

    VLC does not support the audio or video format "G2M4". Unfortunately it is impossible for you to solve this problem. »

    Try to open in Windows Media Player and get this message "Windows Media Center cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

    Tried to download the current codec installation package and I got the message "the program is blocked due to compatibility issues".

    Run the fixit from Microsoft to search for any missing codec and the report that came back that no codec is missing.

    Please tell me there is a way that this can be corrected.

    It might be worth a try to re - encode the. WMV file.

    In many cases, I found that convert a. WMV file
    to the. WMV format could produce a new version of the
    compatible file. Sounds redundant, I know, but it
    can work.

    Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 can perform the conversion.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Download Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) (freeware)
    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24601

    +++

    If you want to try Expression Encoder 4 following
    info can be useful:

    Start Microsoft Expression Encoder 4
    (Start / programs / Microsoft Expression /)
    Microsoft Expression Encoder 4)

    On the "Load a new project" screen...
    Left click... "Transcoding project '...

    When the program opens, click on... File / import...

    Left click (highlight) the. Left and WMV file, click the Open button.

    You will see the file in the "Multimedia content" pane

    In the right column... left click on the tab "Output"...

    Open the drop directory window and choose an output folder.
    (This is where you will find your converted file)

    On the left, click on the button "encode".

    Wait... video encoding CPU intensive and can
    be a slow process. It is always best if you do not have
    multi-task while files are encoded.

  • Whenever I try to maximize a window, it does not fill the screen

    I'm running a new Dell laptop on Windows 7 and whenever I try to maximize a window (a web browser, for a folder of files, etc.), display is not going to the top of the screen and there is a 'gap' where I can see my desktop.  Changing the resolution did not help, nor has using the extension/retraction button in the upper right of the browser.

  • Program BACK in Guest XP on Windows 7 does not fill the screen

    Hello world

    I have a quite unique due to many circumstances situation and several months of research to get to a decent workaround.

    I have a tool written in Basic for MS-DOS. I need to use this tool and the interface with the files created in Windows 7. VMWare Player with no very good support for sharing files between DOS with Windows 7 clients, I have opted for a guest of Windows XP on my computer Windows 7 host and who go through the program. In this way, I can share files between XP and 7 and run the program correctly in the XP VM. Note that this program doesn't work at all on Windows 7 due to some problems graphics driver, hence the need for such a solution.

    When I run the XP VM, it is able to match the resolution as expected. However, when I open the program BACK, he is not full screen as it does on a native XP machine or even a VM XP in VMWare Fusion on a Mac. Is there a way to force it to fill the screen? The graphics full screen are vital for visibility - I can barely see anything on the screen of dinky little 640 x 480 without blowing up to its maximum potential.

    I tried several other options, including a Windows VM (I'm under Windows 7 Enterprise) and DOSBOX. Windows VM has the same problem resolution in addition to requiring the integration of features enabled to share files and requiring the same integration disabled features in order to run the program and the DOSBOX not full screen but the performance is much too slow to be practical (it is similar to take 2 minutes to scroll through a web page that is several pages a notch long) even at maximum settings.

    Please no suggestions ' do you have the printer "-I am part of a team of average size on how it works and it's pretty much the last roadblock after several months of work. We probably tried everything which is immediately obvious, including the recompilation of the source code for the program BACK (that we had to do anyway to remove a lock imposed by a society that no longer exists).

    The closest that I have is to reduce the resolution of the host Windows 7 in 800 x 600, which makes the VM a bit larger but still not quite full screen. I try to activate the VGA 640 x 480 mode, I guess? Even in this case, however, the need for constantly changing screen resolutions makes this solution less than ideal.

    Thank you for all the suggestions/help.

    Do I understand correctly:

    -It is an application with a fixed resolution of 640 x 480 fullscreen

    -You want that he developed the scale to fit to your screen

    As far as I KNOW, VMware Player is not just what to do.

    There is a tutorial in the section documents for a workaround (using the changer display to automatically change the resolution of the host).

  • WIndows 7 - can not lower the screen resolution

    I don't know when it happened... apparently, after one of the windows updates because it worked very well, a month or two ago... anyway, here's my problem. A month ago I got the Sims 3 World Adeventures. I installed it and he played wonderfully. I have themselves are involved in the Facebook games and he has not played for a few weeks, but recently decided to go back to the Sims 3. I clicked the shortcut, open Launcher, I clicked on play and my screen went black, then white, then gray, then horizontal strips of red, green and blue, I think that the colors are then complete blue (like the blue BSOD) then he began again, black, white etc. I could alt tab out after a few minutes.  No error message, no beeps and the computer wasn't warm because I had just started before trying to play.

    I'm running on an Acer Aspite Z5600 with touchscreen (its an all-in-one... looks like a monitor etc), Windows Home Premium, 3 gig of ram, op 64 bit, Pentium system dual core, Intel G45/G43 Express chipset. I went to check my graphics settings - the resolution is set in 1920 x 1080 monitor shows a built-in display. I thought that maybe the resolution was causing problems because the Sims 3 do not like this high middle (I never changed it and the game worked before but I thought of one another program may have) when I put the lower resolution and hit apply I had the same changes in strange black on white, etc.. Yet once again, I had to alt tab out... it took forever to do, and my resolution had not changed.  Everything else seems to work fine... my browser and other... I can play some Facebook games and it seems pretty much any game that starts in a window / windowed mode. I changed the settings on the Sims 3 to play in windowed mode and it starts very well (I HATE the windowed mode tho) I decided to do some research and see if I could find a solution later and decided to go play another game, (one of the verizon games I had played before without problem) and he did the same thing as Sims 3 dang. It is a demand pretty weak game graphics-wise (his Poppit to go - even my old laptop can play it.) so having unplayable all of a sudden he had me beat. Color changes look almost like a kind of graphical test. Hope I have not confused LOL thanks everybody for any help.

    I have a reversible temporary solution of 10 steps for this problem, im also using a race of z5600 acer windows 7 and when I try to run anything that changes the resolution of the screen the screen turns black and flashes different colors is a way around this, but you will not be able to use the full screen , and when your done with the game or whatever you will be able to use the full screen new heres how

    1. start

    2 right click computer

    3. click on properties

    4. click on Device Manager

    5. If Conrtol user account appears, click Yes

    6. click on the tab display cards

    7. right click Intel G45/43 Express Chipset

    8. click on turn off

    9. now the display begins to blink and you'll notice that sub-par signifigantly window, you only 3 options for screen resolution size but most of the games will take place and you will be able to see

    10. to make the fullscreen back you will need to follow the same steps as above, then click Activate

    Hope that this help is the only way it would work for me ~ JUZTICE

    I have a desktop with Windows Vista. Many times, the screen is the gel with an error massage "video Mode not supported". What could be the problem and the solution. ?

    Hi Izzy Nagar,

    ·         Exactly when you receive this error message?

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         Do you have any extended monitor connected to the computer in the past or at the present time?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: You can try to reduce the resolution of the screen (lower), then check if the message still appears.

    Check also if the refresh rate of the monitor is set correctly and check the manual of the monitor for assistance.

    Ways to improve display quality

    Flicker of the correct monitor (refresh rate)

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/correct-monitor-flicker-refresh-rate

    Method 2: Use the option ' enable video low resolution (640 × 480) "start, then update your video card driver and check if the problem still persists.

    a. click the Start button, click the arrow next to Shut Down and then click on restart.

    b. do one of the following:

    ·         If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    ·         If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

    c. on the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select activate video low resolution (640 × 480) and press ENTER.

    d. connect to your computer with an account of a user who has administrator rights.

    e. If you can see your desktop, there is a problem with your video card. Try to update your video card driver. For more information, see the article:
