Dial-up Internet connection support software missing after Rescue and Recovery on T42p

Hi!
I have a ThinkPad T42p laptop computer with Machine Type: 2373-HSG and Serial Number: xxxxxxx.
The computer came with Windows XP Professional SP1 as well as a number of useful tools and applications preinstalled by the factory.
One of them was a piece of software called something like "Call Waiting" or something similar, as I cannot now remember very well. Its purpose was to allow users receive an incoming telephone call while being connected to the Internet through a dial-up modem connection.
Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, a virus caused so severe a damage to my system that I had to use the Rescue and Recovery feature to have the preloaded operating system, reinstalled.
I subsequently upgraded the preloaded Windows XP Professional SP1 to SP3, upgraded Internet Explorer from the preloaded version 6 to the latest version 8, dowloaded and installed all the other available Microsoft Update files as well all the latest versions of drivers and ThinkVantage utilities and applications from the Lenovo website.
Unfortunately, however, this "Call Waiting" application has been lost as it neither available for download on the Lenovo website nor in the C:\ibmtools folder on my hard disk which includes all the applications and utilities of the system as they were delivered and preloaded from the factory.
I would greatly appreciate your help that could be offered to me about it.
More specifically, I would like to know what the exact name of this piece of software is because I am not sure if it is indeed "Call Waiting" or something else and where can I download a legal copy of it from.
However, if it is no longer available for download, is there any other similar application which would work the same impeccably with my ThinkPad's integrated 56K CXT modem and, if yes, where could I get it from?
All the best!

Wow.. I didn’t think there was anyone left on 56k Dial up...
I think I vaguely remember the software from my old T41 but I think it was IBM propriety and as I don't have that Thinkpad any more unable to check.

  • After rescue and recovery, I can not find the documents

    After rescue and recovery, I can not find the documents created after the restore point date.
    Moderator note: subject line adjusted for clarity.

    Hi,
    not sure, what exactly the description should tell me, but I guess, that your scenario is like this:
    - you captured some RnR backup
    - made some changes to the system
    - restored the backup
    and now the changes, that you have mde afte the backup was captured are gone.
    If this is your case, then this is a correct situation.
    The backup will restore the whole system back to the stage, as you selected, while it will remove/modify the packages, that have been changed/created  after the time, when the backup was captured.
    In the stage, where you have restored the system, you had the chance to save some files, but as it looks, this did not happened.
    Please correct me if I understod it wrongly.
    Cheers

  • Cannot Boot To Windows After Rescue And Recovery

    I used the Rescue And Recovery disks (7 disks plus actually recovery cd) on my T42. I received the cd set direct from IBM. I've used the CDs in the past with no issues. This time after following the instructions and completing the restore, I cannot get the computer to boot to windows. It keeps going back to the Rescue And Recovery program. What can I do?

    Refer to the following guide:
    FAQ "How to use Recovery CD Disc Set".
    "Also, if you get stuck after step 9 with Rescue and Recovery keeps on booting in a loop and not entering Windows then all you need to do is: GomJabbar wrote: While in Rescue and Recovery (with all CD's removed from your optical drive) you need to tell it to Restore Factory Contents. All the CD's really do is install Rescue and Recovery and the files needed to Restore Windows and the original Factory software."

  • ThinkVantage button startup behavior changes after Rescue and Recovery

    I recently bought a Thinkpad X301 (2777-CTO). When booting my computer, I see the following message: "To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button". Initially, when I press this ThinkVantage button on startup, I get a "Startup Interrupt Menu", pictured at http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/4773/startupinterruptmenu.png
    This menu is useful since it allows me to either enter the BIOS, start Rescue and Recovery, select a device to boot from, or simply start normally. However, after choosing the Rescue and Recovery option once, this menu no longer appears. Instead, it goes straight to Rescue and Recovery from there on without giving me the choice to enter the BIOS configuration or select a boot device.
    I find this new behavior problematic for a few reasons:
    - The behavior of the ThinkVantage button at startup is inconsistent (a menu that should appear no longer does after running Rescue and Recovery once).
    - There appears to be no straight-forward way of reverting back to the desired (original) behavior.
    - The initial prompt on the power-on splash screen is now misleading. Although it still says "To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button"; the way the button acts, it would probably be more accurate to say "To start Rescue and Recovery, press the blue ThinkVantage button" instead.
    - This behavior breaks the "Option Keys Display" option in the BIOS setup. Although I enabled this option, which should cause the system to display which key does what (e.g., F1 for BIOS), this is not displayed.
    - Running Rescue and Recovery results in a loss of functionality (instead of simply restoring the system to the initial state).
    - And anytime I press the blue ThinkVantage button (as instructed) instead of F1 or F12, I end up wasting several minutes, waiting for Rescue and Recovery to finish booting before I can properly shut it down and try again.
    This problem appears to have existed for a long time (since 2008; http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/241845-thinkvantage-boot-menu-boots-straight-into-rescue-... ). However, the only "solution" that I have found is just a workaround: avoid pressing the ThinkVantage button (as instructed by the power-on splash screen).
    The ideal solution would be to have a BIOS (or Rescue and Recovery) update which will prevent the ThinkVantage button from losing its original function after running Rescue and Recovery. I know that this is a minor bug, but this bug and another BIOS bug (in the network boot order menu, which I'll post after this one), which arose in less than a week after I received the computer, makes me question the ThinkPad's reputation for high-quality engineering.

  • Cannot start from the system after rescue and recovery

    I have T42 and did "restore factory contents."  In the process, I use IBM product recovery CD from 1 to 6 and reboot.  However it does not start from Windows XP but IBM rescue and recovery with rapid restore.  I cannot get out form this although I restart  the computer.  I appreciate any advice. Thanks.

    Hello and welcome,
    My memory is a little fuzzy on this, but IIRC some of the older laptops used a 2-step recovery process.  You first did the recovery from CD which put the recovery image and restore program on the HD.  One the next boot, the restore program starts, and you select to restore your drive from there.
    So, do the recovery from media, reboot to the newly installed restore program, and select to restore your hard drive.
    I hope that makes sense... and applies to your machine...

  • Internet Radio is NOT missing after all, hooray!

    OK, Internet Radio is NOT missing after all. Its placement  just has been made so illogical that as long as you try to find it by logic you will fail.
    This is what and where it used to be: an item "Radio" under "LIBRARY" in the side bar, its showing toggleable on-off in Preferences by checking/uncheking the corresponding checkbox. You click on "Radio" under "LIBRARY" and you see a list of internet radio stations in the browser frame.
    Here is what and where it is now: a button "Internet" in a button bar over the browser frame when item  "Music" is selected under "LIBRARY" in the side bar. You click on "Internet" and you see a list of internet radio stations in the browser frame just as in the happy olden days. The word "Radio" (as a button) now refers to a service where you can make up your own "stations" a la Pandora, I guess.  At the same time nothing whatsoever has changed in Preferences, there is still an "Internet Radio" checkbox  but unless you are looking at the buttons over the browser frame you will never know what it does. Not only that, there is no corresponding "Internet Radio" library item or button anywhere, there is "Radio" and an "Internet" button, and it just so happens that the checkbox will toggle the "Internet" button on-off.
    The end result of all of this is that all items under "Show" in Preferences toggle items under "LIBRARY"  in the side bar except the "Internet Radio" item which will toggle the "Internet" (i.e. internet radio) button in the button bar of "Music". This also means that the only button that can be toggled on/off in the button bar is the "Internet" button, all others are fixed.

    Hi Sarah, thanks for ur reply.
    I did not use toad to kill session.
    I use form application to kill session,
    e.g. user id 1111 log in to the application in PC 1
    at the same time, same user id 1111 log in to the application in PC 2
    So when the user log in into PC 2, i kill the session in PC 1 (in form application).
    So when i log out from PC 2, i close the applet, in the next hour, i need to log in again using PC 2 without close the IE.
    So the IE is not responding.
    Is there any way to refresh IE without re open again to connect to the application ?
    Thanks,
    Iwan

  • Using the mac mini with a dial up internet connection

    How do I go about using my mac mini with a dial up internet connection? I am soon to be moving to a rural area and dial up will be my only internet option. Please be very specific in your answer as I am not a very tech savvy fellow. Thank you for your help.

    The last time I needed to use dial up I used this amazing device from actiontec:

    Very hard to find one now, but it has the advantage that it connects to the ethernet ports of up to two computers, rather than using a less reliable usb connection.

    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then Open System Preferences>Network>Configure>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HTTPS to use at Home, if you use it at 2 locations, just make a New Location for home.

  • Beats audio software missing after I installed windows 8.1

     Beats audio software missing after I installed windows 8.1 
    my laptop: HP pavilion p011sv 

    Hi @Boukou ,
    Thank you for your  inquiry.
    I understand that after updating to Windows 8.1 you no longer have the Beats Audio software.
    You should be able to download an updated audio driver from HP Pavilion 15-p011sv Software & Drivers page .
    This should reinstall your Beats software.
    Good Luck!

  • When an internet connection is available, I run iTunes and it shuts down on my Windows 7 64bit computer.

    When an internet connection is available, I run iTunes and it shuts down on my Windows 7 64bit computer.  It used to crash when I went to the iTunes store but, after installing the newest version of iTunes it crashes if there is an internet connection.  I can turn off my internet access and then run the software but, once I try the iTunes store again it crashes.  It does not give an error message as to why its doing this.  Just says it encountered a problem.  I cannot do anything with my iPad or iPod without this working.  Its extremely frustrating.
    I have also contacted Apple several times and they give me links to other's problems but, none have worked to fix this.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

  • Problem with Rescue and Recovery after installing Norton Internet Security 2010

    Hi all.
    It's my first time in this forum.
    I have a problem, with Rescue and Recovery, after installing Norton Internet Security 2010 on my T43.
    The message I get it:
    "Rescue and Recovery is unable to back up the file 'C:\Documents and settings\all Users\Application Data\ Norton\ 00000082\00000109\000003c1\cltMLS1.bat' Because the file is either corrupted or being used by another application. Please close any application that could be using the file.
    I tried to close the Norton but I couldn't find how.
    Tanks

    Hi and welcome to the forum,
    the reason for this situation is, that the antivir files are protected from being modified.
    This is the reason, why this file cannot be backed up. I assume, that you would get much more such messages, as there are surelly multiple files files, that are protected like this.
    So the solution is to block folders from being archived. Please start RnR application and in the configuration set this folder as the excluded one.
    This will skip the backup of this file and will fix your situation.
    Please let me know, if you have covered this.
    Cheers

  • Since Updating to 10.9.5 Safari and the App Store drop internet connection periodically while other apps Mailplane and Epic Browser continue to work ?

    Hello.
    Since Updating to 10.9.5 Safari and the App Store drop internet connection periodically while other apps Mailplane and Epic Browser continue to work ?
    Never had this problem previously running a Macmini Server 2010 with the latest Mavericks Updates
    Tried reinstalling over my existing OS and seemed ok until I once again updated to the latest security and Safari updates
    Any ideas ?
    Using ethernet but wireless acts same,

    I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

  • My airport express frequently drops the internet connection. Once I unplug it and re-plug it in, everything is fine until it drops the signal again. This happens on a regular basis. Is there anything I can do ensure it maintains the internet connection?

    My airport express frequently drops the internet connection. Once I unplug it, and re-plug it in, my Macbook Pro17,IMac 24, iPad air and my wife's Acer 15 works  fine until it drops the signal again. This happens on a regular basis. Is there anything I can do ensure it maintains the internet connection?

    It is tricky..
    But yes it can be done as long as you use a different IP subnet to what is being used for the internet..
    So I need to know what modem router you have?? Does it have wireless as that would make it very easy?
    What IP is the computer getting?
    Then I can give you the details to setup wireless statically on a different subnet.

  • Where is Rescue and Recovery 4.50 for Windows 7 and why was it removed from the support site?

    When Rescue and Recovery 4.51 was released a few weeks ago, all references to the previous version were replaced. Unfortunately, the new release is not supported on the R series machines nor on the earlier T series machines, so for those machines, the only version of Rescue and Recovery for Windows 7 that is available is version 4.30.0027 which was released in September 2009.
    This makes no sense.
    Please re-instate the documentation and download links for Rescue and Recovery 4.50 for all machines which were supported on that release but are not on version 4.51.

    Thank you for your response.
    The R61 and the R500 that I own, that are currently running Windows XP are staying there until Microsoft stops supporting Windows XP, at which point I will decide what to do with them, so trying 4.51 on them is not currently an option.
    As an IT professional, I tend to be the support guy for all the Lenovo computers in my family. My son also has an R500, which was purchased used, and it came with Windows 7. When I set it up for him, I installed Rescue and Recovery 4.5 over 4.3 before taking the original full system image backups.  He would loose the capability to use those backups if I were to try to downgrade that machine to Rescue and recovery 4.3. My own R500 came with Rescue and Recovery 4.30.0025, (for which there is no documentation nor download links available, to my knowledge), and I have never upgraded it, because I am concerned that all my backups would become unreadable if I did. I don’t think it is worth the effort to make all the external bootable backups that upgrading the software would require. I would upgrade if I was assured that version 4.30.0027 could read the backups taken by version 4.30.0025.
    There were 2 more versions of Rescue and Recovery. There was version 4.31.007 released on 2010/09/28 and version 4.31.011 released on 2011/03/04. The document ID’s for release 4.51 are the same as those for the 4.31 releases, so I should assume that Lenovo considers the 4.31 releases a major advance over the 4.30 release, and thus not a valid fallback option but why not?
