How do I adjust brightness in Windows 7 on my 27" iMac?

After installing all of the Boot Camp support files, I still can't adjust the brightness of my screen when I boot in to Windows 7 Ultimate. The keyboard seems to work when I try to adjust the brightness, since the adjustment indicator (icons that look like a sun) comes up on screen.
Is this an installation issue?

Found the solution!
Control Panel > User Accounts > Change User Account Control settings > slide control to 'Never notify' > Reboot.
Problem solved.

Can not adjust brightness and minimize and maximize the screen with Fn keys

I have bought a HP 15-D006TU laptop 1 week back. f2 and f3 for adjusting brightness and f4 to minimize and maximize the screen are not working. I am also trying to install the Hotkey driver which is mostly suggested here. but the version available is not supported. Can anyone help me out in this case?

Hi NIdisha,
Thank you for your post, I will do my best to assist you.
I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the brightness and the fn keys. When I looked up the specifications, I see it came with FreeDos. I am providing you links, to the software and driver page for your computer,HP 15-d006tu Notebook PC Drivers and Frequently Asked Questions About FreeDOS (FAQs). Please note the compatible keyboard driver. I would suggest you uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the keyboard. I am also providing you a document on Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 8), that may assist you. If you would like furhter assistance, please let me know if you are still running FreeDos, or have changed the operating system.
I hope this has helped.

Lenovo z570 and Fedora 15 - can not adjust brightness.

When I installed fedora 15 on lenovo ideapad z570 all goes ok. but I can not adjust screen brightness. I updated kernel twice upto 3.0.1 but still problem persists.
Please give me a solution.
CPKulkarni

This is a known bug in the power manager logic within fedora 15. They are testing the package before it makes officially to the repository.
If you want to try it, out run the following command in the bash shell
su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update gnome-power-manager'
Also try to disable screen dimming via the control center. Hope this helps you out
Cheers and regards,

Adjusting brightness on Windows XP

Anyone know how to adjust the screen brightness on the "dark side". I use bootcamp and have windows xp home addition. The screen seems to be darker than normal. I've looked on XP webside and they say to adjust brightness use controls on the screen. I don't have those controls on the screen of a macbook pro. When I use the F2 key on the laptop it does nothing. Any help appreciated

L675D Windows 8.1 Display Fix (Can't adjust brightness in settings charm)

I performed a clean install of Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit (courtesy Dreamspark), and I noticed that I could not adjust the brightness setting using the "Settings" charm or in the control panel (in the charms-bar the brightness setting was greyed out). My exact model is L675D-S7013, and the specification states that the laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics [card]. The "Automatically Detect and Install Your Driver" tool (from their website: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download) was unsuccessful, so I instead downloaded the Windows 8 x64 AMD software at: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/legacy/13-1-legacy_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc.exe and installed it using the defaulted options and it seems to be working fine. It also fixed the screen resolution. Note that this was done after installing all available updates from Windows Update.

Satellite L675D-S7013 (PSK3JU-00P001)
Downloads here.
Toshiba does not support that model for upgrade to Windows 8.1.
Computers with Windows 7 pre-installed that are supported by Toshiba for update to Windows 8.1
Some here with Windows 8.1 would kill to downgrade to Windows 7! Read the messages.

L520 - Can't adjust brightness

Another problem on my Lenovo Thinkpad L520:
After installing the Lenovo Power Management Driver, I can no longer adjust the LCD brightness by using the FN+DEL/POS1 keys.
Immediately after adjusting the brightness, it gets reverted to its old value, set in the Power Management software.
I tried the Windows 7 driver (1.65.05.21) and the WIndows XP/7/8 driver (1.66.0.22), both with the same result.
This is really annoying and I am very frustrated with Lenovo right now, since this is not the only problem I am having with the laptop.
I tried calling the customer support, where an automated message directed me to their support forum.
Does anyone here have a solution for this?

The same happened to me on a L520 5016-C74 (Win7X64).
I was able to resolve it without losing the functionality of the Power manager.
The steps are as follows:
1) If you have used the System Update utility, you will need to download from "Softare and Utility" the "Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit), 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), XP (32-bit, 64-bit) and 2000 - ThinkPad".
2) Install the Utility, update everything it suggests, and install whatever component you might miss from the four available (Lenovo Patch Utility, On Screen Display, ThinkPad Full Screen Magnifier, Lenovo system Interface Driver)
3) The installer will ask you to reboot. Comply.
4) Rerun the Installer (it will be placed in C:\DRIVERS\HOTKEY\Setup.exe)
5) Select the second option "Uninstall currently installed....)
6) Select to uninstall ONLY the "Lenovo system Interface Driver"
7) Reboot again and try the luminosity keys. You will not have OSD though, but everything else works, full functionality of function keys and Power Management with no problems.
Please let me know if this worked in your case.

Trouble adjusting brightness in Windows 8.1

I know there are other threads on this, but none of the solutions seems to be working for me.
I manage multiple MBP-13in Retinas (Late 2013) and I'm having trouble adjusting the brightness of the laptop screen on all of them.
I have tried everything mentioned in other posts
Adaptive Brightnss
Disabling the Generic PnP driver
Reinstalling everything
Changing the resolution
The best work around I can figure out is hitting Comman + P (Windows Key + P) switching the display mode to extend (or anything else) and then switching it back to PC Display only. After doing that it works everytime.
It also seems to finally work if I leave the computer on for about 15 mins or so, or if I shut the lid and then open it back up again.
Would love a new release of BootCamp to fix this, any work arounds that people have discovered specifically for the 13in MBPr Late 2013 would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Clean install 8.1 via boot camp
We make a few consistent changes but I can't imagine these are related but here's a full list
Disable hibernation, page file, adaptive brightness, system restore
Power settings never sleep while plugged
On display settings, try for best performance it will likely uncheck everything (we keep 5 but can't recall)

How to adjust brightness in windows vista?

I can't figure out how to adjust the screen brightness. On the mac osx install disc 1 which supposedly has all the drivers, it did not hve the mac keyboard driver or the nvidia graphics card driver either. I found latter on the internet without much hassle, but I can't find a keyboard driver anywhere, so I'm stuck with this full brightness screen that really burns my eyes out, as well as draining a lot battery power when unplugged from the mains.

If you are also an administrator on your account click the drop down box on the recovery menu where it says 'administrator' and see if your account is listed. If it's the only account listed have you tried entering no password?
If that fails then google for 'hirens boot cd' which has a reset tool for Vista on the CD.

Can't Adjust Brightness Using F1 and F2 Keys

My MBP was having difficulties starting up today (stalling at the grey screen w/ the Apple symbol) so I ran Disk Utility to repair, and everything seemed to be fine.
But now all the pre-set function keys are working save the F1 and F2 keys. I've tried pressing the fn keys before, but I am still not able to adjust the brightness. I also tried resetting the PRAM, but that did no good either. Currently, all the other function keys are doing their pre-set commands -- I didn't change any of them. What can I do to get the F1 and F2 keys working again?
Thanks!

My guess is that something you've installed is playing havoc with your system. When you reinstalled Lion you probably didn't do a clean install, thus the problem continued. Try creating a new user, then work in that acoount for a while. If the problem stops, you know the problem exists in your user account only. If the problem continues, its system wide and will require a clean install and reinstallation of your software.

That is the video driver. Go into control panel and see what display adapter is installed. If it is something called Microsoft Basic we need to get you a proper video driver.

When I reopen my MBP i can't adjust brightness, volume, etc. and it lags

Whenever I shut my macbook pro, and then later come back and open it up again, there are always problems. I cant adjust the brightness, or the volume, or the keyboard light. That is the sure sign that something is wrong. Then programs will start freezing or lagging horribly with the spinning ball. Its basically unusable until I do a hard reset. If I tell the computer to shut down or restart, it will not. It will start to, but then it never actually shuts down, and i am forced to hold the power button down. The problem used to happen once in a while, but now it happens basically every time I shut the computer.
This is horribly annoying and i need to get it fixed. However my computer is about a year and a half old, so its out of warrenty. (No applecare). I really do not want to have to pay to have this problem fixed or looked at.
Here is what I have tried thus far:
Using Disk Utility, repaired permissions and repaired the HD.
Using Disk Warrior, did the same thing and deleted or repaired corrupted files that it found.
Reinstalled OS X Lion
Any suggestions?
