Can't disable auto screen brightness on M92z even after using power manager

I find the auto screen brightness annoying and have been trying to disable it. When I go into power manager and turn off "auto" it works, but once I reboot, it's back on again.
I've gone into the sensor section of power manager and disabled the sensor but that too does not stick. I've also checked that "magic brightness" setting as well. Nothing seems to stick after a reboot. Things work until I reboot.
I have installed the latest power manager, but 2 things seem strange. website says latest version is 3.40.0002 but when download and install that version it reports 3.40.0001 (notice the 1 vs the 2). Also in control panel it says power manager 32 bit but my OS is Windows 7 64 bit.

Alright, so this is ridiculous. Back to square one with nothing booting. I managed to get it booted up once fully, and another time booted off the OS10.3 disc (froze during disk repair in Disk Utility).
I don't have another hard drive to try, and I've taken it apart and reset everything.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Try using Recovery Manager to reinstall your particular Graphics Driver ( AMD, Nvidia, Intel etc ) - the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.
Recovery Manager - Windows 8.
Recovery Manager - Windows 7
Recovery Manager - Windows Vista
After the reinstallation has completed, restart the notebook.

Contact Rhapsody to see if they have or plan to release an update for the app. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

Have you done the obvious things to try to fix it: quit Quicktime then start it back up again, log out then back in, reboot.
Edit: Just read one of your later posts. If VLC won't play it, this is unrelated to Quicktime and Flip4Mac. Are you sure these wmv files are okay?

How can I disable auto-switching desktops?

I've long appreciated the spaces/mission control feature of OS X. However, it seems more oriented to organizing desktops by application rather than by project.
Like many users, I suspect, I use different desktops for different projects, each of which requires a variety of applications (finder, word docs, spreadsheets, etc). When I'm working on project 1 in desktop 1, I never want to be whisked away to desktop 2. In fact, I never want to be switched to a different desktop automatically. If I click on an application, I want it to open a new window for that application. If a new iteration of an app can't be opened (ie, Mail), I'd like it to pull Mail to me rather than send me off to it. Aren't apps supposed to come when we call, not the other way around?
I have unchecked "...switch to a space with open windows of that application" in System Prefences, but my desktop continues to auto-switch, especially with Finder.
In short: is there a way disable auto-switching entirely? I'd like to be able to assign windows and navigate manually without being constantly pulled away from the project I'm working on.
Thanks for the help; I really appreciate people spending their time helping others on forums like this one.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Can I disable auto-sync on Shuffel iTunes 7.3 Vista OS

It seems odd that everytime I make a change to a single song on my iPod, iTunes performs a sync.
For example, I want to uncheck several songs loaded on my shuffel, but iTunes performs a sync after each time I de-select a check-box.
Can I disable automatic syncing after each change to a song or podcast on my shuffel?
Thanks

As long as your shuffle is connected and showing up in iTunes, that's the way it works...

[SOLVED] Can't change laptop screen brightness.

I'm using GNOME and can't seem to change my laptop screen brightness. The slider in settings will work by changing the value in intel_backlight between 0 and 4882 but the actual brightness of the screen will not change.
If I use the kernel line acpi_video = vendor all it does is create another interface called dell_backlight alongside intel_backlight which changes from 0 to 15 by changing the slider or pressing fn + f5 and fn + f4.
I have nouveau and intel graphics drivers installed and I'm running arch on a Dell XPS15 (L521x).
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Solved this by adding the kernel parameter video.use_native_backlight=0

How can i adjust my screen brightness? HP ProBook 4530s

I cant adjust my screen brightness. Fn+f2, f3 show the brightness bar at the dimmest point and doesnt make any change. The manual way of going through Control Panel then display, personaisation also doesnt work. I am running Win 7 Pro registered version. This si really annoying and strains my eyes to the point that i just cant work. Please give me a fix. Thanks for reading.

Hi:
Did you install the Intel chipset driver and the applicable graphics driver for your model?
Normally the reason you can't adjust the brightness is due to one or both of those drivers not being installed.

Can you disable the screen shot feature?

I can't reduce my screen brightness

this happened after i deragraded my system Hp 15-r005nia Notebook Pc from windows 8 to windows 7. ever since then i can't seem to reduce the screen brightness. please i need a solution to this problem.
Thanks i will be anxious to get a souution to this because it really affects my eyes each time i'm working.

Sorry that driver didn't work.
It is for the Celeron N processors but I was hoping it would work for the Pentium N processors too.
Unfortunately, there is no solution to your problem other than to install W7 64 bit if you want to install W7.
There is a W7 64 bit driver for the Pentium N processors.

How can I disable touch screen for HP Pavillion DV3-2310ea

Howdy
The touchscreen on this laptop can be annoying - even though I've reduced the sensitivity, living in a cat rescue home is challenging to say the least when a strand of cat fur gets on the screen or when a tail brushes the screen, not to mention a cat sneeze -_-
I've been looking around for solutions and I found one stating unchecking the box in "Pen and Touch" in the control panel - however on this laptop there's no box to uncheck
I can't find any settings to disable touch screen, so would anyone know if there's a driver I can temporaraily disable (I'd like to KEEP the option to enable the touch screen - just to show off to friends )
Thanks for your time - Gypsy
P.S I'm sorry if this topic has already been discussed I've just joined to ask this question

Hello,
Would like to leave my contibution on this post:
In order to disable the touchscreen, you have to go to control panel, select Tablet PC settings, then select Pen and touch and do what the print screens below show you:
Let me know if this sorted out your question.
Thanks,
I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON
