Can't turn off backlight keyboard in XP How long this problem will live?

I'm using MBP 15" 2.66Ghz (late 2008 model)
My Windows XP SP3 with Bootcamp 3.0 most of the things work well except backlight keyboard, I tried to press F5 to reduce backlight to minimun but backlight still there so annoying me even more every times I boot into Windows XP backlight will reset itself to maximum amount of light. ==" Anyone got an ideal how to solve or just waiting for Apple engineer to fix it but when I've seen this problem long long time ago.... Srry for my bad english.

Finally figured it out. In case anyone else has the same problem of your computer ignoring changes in the Face Tracking Utility screen, try this:
Go to Webcam Center. Click on "Capture" then the "Source" tab, one of two discrete grey tabs just above the video screen.
Under "Extended Settings" you have the options for face tracking: off, continuous or smart. Click it and your computer should actually hold onto this setting until you change it again!
Good luck.

    As far as trying to power up your device, make sure it has a good charge and then hold the button on the top of the phone and the home button on the faceplate together until the apple appears on the screen.

    I 5c fell in toilet and won't turn off. have it in rice, how long will it take?

    How long will what take? You should leave the phone in rice for at least 4-5 days. At that point, plug the phone in and let it charge for about 15 minutes and see if it turns on. Accept the fact your phone will probably never work properly again.

  • Auto turn off backlight keyboard T430

    Hello,
    is it possible to set the keyboard illumintaion that it turns off when I dont use the keyboard for X minutes?
    The illumination is really annoying, when watching something. And turning it off manually is really bothering.
    Dell Vostro has it, is it also possible on thinkpads?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I would like to inform you that as of now, there is no such settings available to turn off the backlit keyboard after a certain period of inactivity. The backlight automatically turns completely off only when the screen goes off or when the machine goes to sleep. I personally think that what you have suggested would be an incredibly useful one and our engineers will take it as a great suggestion to implement the same.
    Best regards,
    Mithun.

  • How can I turn off the keyboard lock?

    Is there any possibilty to turn of the locking of shift, ctrl, alt and command when pressing it? i just want to use my keyboard the normal way and KEEP the buttons pressed when I need it....

    Check the Universal Access system prefs under keyboard. It sounds like you've somehow turned on sticky keys.

  • Can't turn off multiple pages per sheet

    Can't turn off multiple pages per sheet - I used this option for one pdf document and now the settings are sticking.  I don't want to  always print 2 by 2.   I was able to set a Custom Multiple page to "1 by 1" but this seems silly. How do I get the default single page printing back?

  • New owner of MBP, why can't you turn off the keyboard backlight in Win 7?

    I'm a new owner of MBP. I have Windows 7 64bits installed on bootcamp. The keyboard backlight is really bothering me. I thought Boot Camp was out for awhile, and I don't know why can't Apple fix this backlight control thing? I downloaded that power assistant software and I liked it; however, I was turned off that it wasn't a freeware. What can I do to turn this backlight off permanently?

    Well... seems like pre-2010 MBPs all had 'non-disablable' keyboard backlights on Windows. Installing BC 3.1 won't help at all. You could temporary minimize backlight level, but not turn it off. And on just any ambient light change it jumps back to maximum. Extremely erratic
    A friend of mine got a 2010 MBP and he's able to turn backlight off. I've got mid-2009 model with BC 3.1, and I can't. My another friend has late-2008 model, he can't turn the backlight off, either.
    I agree, ideally powerplan7 should have been a freeware. However, although I did spend $10 on a key, I'm oh-so-happy right now. With backlight disabled And since there are no alternatives AT ALL, I'm glad they're not selling this software for, say, $25.

  • Keyboard backlight can't turn off automatically

    Keyboard backlight can't turn off automatically on my MBP Retina after I installed mountain lion. It worked fine before I upgrade OX10.7 to 10.8. How can I fix it?

    Ah sorry didn't notice you have XP. Power Plan Assistant is for 7 and Vista only. FYI I've been searching for the working solution days and nights before found the Power Plan Assistant software... I have to tell, there seem to be no other workarounds if you want to keep Bootcamp.exe in RAM. If you kill it, remove it from startup items in registry and reboot, there will be no keyboard backlight (pros), but as well no hardware controls at all, no delete key, no multitouch function of touchpad, etc... (idea-killer cons)

  • How can I turn off other languages on my ipad running ios7?  It has Japanese or Chinese and the international keyboard is set to English.  Thank you.

    How can I turn off other languages on my ipad the next generation running ios7?  I have the international language set to English but it's showing a foreign language and sometimes it shows the foreign language with English.  Thank you.

    The complete backup and restore procedure is explained in the link above.
    If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
    You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.
    You can change the language in iTunes via General Preferences > under General tab.

  • How can I turn off a specific keyboard shortcut?

    We use a 3rd party vendor's platform to create/maintain content on our school website. When writing stories, I often use standard editing shortcuts (such as command-B for bold, command-I for italic, etc.). But when I hit command-B in the new FF 4.0 release, the bookmarks window opens - so I now need to use the pulldown menu to make this standard command. And it just slows me down.
    Any idea how I can turn off this feature?

    Hi, thanks for the reply.
    No.
    Please read my post, i'm asking how to turn off the specific shortcut in my original post, not assign actions to the mouse buttons (i know how to do that). I'm aware i can simply turn off the scroll wheel function altogether from the mouse preferences but i don't want to lose that function.
    I want to know how to turn off the SHIFT + SCROLL WHEEL CLICK shortcut that switches the screen to the widget screen.
