Enabling ThinkVantage button after clean OS install (X230)

I'm going to install an SSD in the mSATA slot of my X230 and then do a clean install of Windows 7 x64 on it (setting the SSD to bootable and the HDD to not bootable).  I'm concerned that this will render the ThinkVantage button unusable (particularly since that's what happened when I upgraded my X61s from XP to Win7).  If this happens, is there a procedure for restoring its functionality?  Thanks.

Because Windows is supposed to be installed differently on an SSD than on an HDD.  It takes care of itself with a clean install.  With a clone I have to go in and reconfigure it.  I believe it's just activating TRIM and AHCI, but I'm not sure that's all.

  • ThinkVantage 4.0 fail after clean Win7 install

    Downloaded Thinkvantage 4.0 system update after clean Win7 install on my T500 2081 CTO. Programme did not attach to my ThinkVantage Blue Button and did not even work when I started it from the start menu where it was placed. All I got was the logo. Did an erase and new install with the same result.
    There are no clues on the download page at

    Is this a question of first installing the Hotkey Features Integration? What about the Hot Key Driver, is that included in the Features Integration?

  • Enabling a button after disabling it

    What's the code for enabling a button after setting the access property of the button to "readonly" (form1.Button2.access = "readOnly";)?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    The following should do it:
    form1.Button2.access = "open";
    Good luck,

  • Mid-2010 27" iMac very slow, even after clean OS install - HELP!

    Good afternoon guys, I'm hoping someone can offer me some advice.
    I bought my Mid-2010 27" iMac in May-ish 2011. Everything was brilliant, I couldn't believe the ease of use, and especially the start up speed, coming from a world of PCs. My iMac was used almost every day, for web browsing, photo editing, etc.
    Maybe about April / May this year it started becoming very slow, slow to boot, slow to respond to mouse clicks, slow to do anything. Since I'd used about 750GB of my HDD (mainly photos), I decided I would archive some and hope that would ease the congestion. As my photos were stored in Aperture, it took about 3 days to export them all to my external HDD, 3 days of the iMac only getting so far, switching itself off, then me finally getting it to come back on (I was getting messages about Kernals, etc. now and again through boot too) - it finally backed up my photos I have from my daughters first year.
    Great news, but I still had probably 400GB / 500GB of photos from her second year and any other photos I'd taken. I found the root of my Aperture directory, and managed to pull these images off, so everything is now backed up.
    I decided I should try and clean install, and managed to get the HDD to boot and choose the option to re-install from Apple's Servers. All installed OK, and we're good to go! Fired up the iMac, and although it's fractionally quicker to respond, and a lot more stable, it's not quite right. And I've lost all my iLife Apps which originally came with the iMac.
    Does this sound like a HDD issue? As I say, it was on quite a lot through the backup procedure, and I had set it (maybe stupidly looking back now) to never sleep, and for the monitor to only switch off after 3 hours. Or does it sound like something more is wrong with it?
    I am quite confident of working with PCs, so would manage to replace the HDD I think, looking at some videos, etc. online. I did upgrade the RAM to 16GB, and that was simple enough. My question is, when you replace the HDD, how does it know where to look to the Apple Servers for the clean OS install? Or do I have to do something to let it know where to look first? I have to point out I don't have any Time Machine backup, etc. as the iMac was just not stable enough to get this in place - and up until that point, again probably stupid now looking back, I had never bothered to set up.
    Any help / advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. At the moment I have totally fallen out of love with the iMac, for something to cost £1,500+ and only last 3 years, where my last build PC lasted Approx 8 years for half the price, is very disappointing.
    Thanks in advance,
    Col

    Just suggesting things right off the bat here-
    To me it sounds as though the HDD is failing, if your iMac shipped with a Seagate drive try entering your serial number to see if Apple will replace it:http://www.apple.com/au/support/imac-harddrive/
    Or try running Apple Hardware Test a few times back to see if it is a hardware error.
    As for the iLife apps they should've come on one of the install discs that shipped with your mac.
    If your iMac is ineligible for the program above I would consider replacing it yourself with either an SSD or HDD, as for recognising apples servers for download, you will need the original install discs that came with your computer or if you haven't already it will need a firmware update to enable internet recovery
    See here:Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery
    Good Luck!

  • X301 missing Lenovo Thinkvantage software after OS re-instal

    Hi all,
    The saga of the X301 OS re-instal continues :-)
    Everything is seemingly operating as a base lap top, however the lap top after the re-install does not contain it's IBM/Lenovo specific software.
    Examples:
    1. Thinkvantage blue button not functioning
    2. Internet connection is done solely through Windows and not the IBM network connection
    3. Mouse mat works but the scroll page up and across functionality has been lost
    4. Sometimes when typing it shoots the cursor off down the page
    I have nothing on the system (hardware) stating that it requires a driver.
    Any help or assistance appreciated.
    Best Regards

  • MacBook Pros Not waking up properly even after clean re-install

    I just bought a used 17" Quad core MBP with 16gb of ram.  I installed a samsung 512gb 840 Pro series SSD, transferred all my info from my old dual core i7 17" MBP.  So both are 10.8.4. 
    The new MBP started not waking up from sleep.  The keyboard would like up and the light in the front would indicate that it has started, but then it doesn't show anything on the screen.
    Ultimately, I decided, i'll just do a clean re-install of OS 10.8 because maybe something went wrong in the migration.  Now, with a fresh install when i wake it from sleep it seems to open as if it ran out of power and is doing a restore power up.  The screen opens at half opacity and I get some progress dots and its back quickly. But it's still strange.  The only thing installed on the computer at all is adobe production suite.
    Odd thing is, that the OLD computer, the DUAL core i7 17" MBP is also not waking up from sleep properly now.   It also has a new 128gb SSD drive It BTW.  It doesn't fully wake up, so I have to hold down the power button, shut it down then turn it back on again.  And again it does a recovery startup.
    so now I have TWO computers having almost the same issues, and one of them has a fresh install.  So what could the problem be?  totally diffferent hardware. Does 10.8 not like SSD's in 17" MBP's? 
    any tips would be apreciated.

    One last detail, connectivity through my iPhone's hotspot works completely fine. No idea if that is related / helpful in any way.

  • Enabling HTML Buttons after downloading files

    Hi,
    My Application downloads some data after selecting 2 parameters and clicking on OK. I am disabling OK Button after clicking on that for the download so as to avoid double clicking while the process is going on.
    Now I have to enable the OK button immediately after completing the download.
    My Response stream is Ms-Excel.
    Please let me know how to handle this.
    Thanks in advance
    Kari

    There isn't one, then. If setTimeout doesn't work, it's because clicking on the link/button sends a request, which effectively stops/disables the page and any scripts running. Then a new request is made, the server returns a file. The browser just prompts to save the file, and doesn't bother removing the old content. But it doesn't restart and scripts either.
    The only way you could do anything similar would be to have the link/form have a target of a new window (target="_blank"). Then you could try the setTimeout thing again with that, it might work. There'd still be no way to get a notification of completion, though.

  • Y40 GPU not working after clean windows install.

    I did a clean Windows install since I got a new HDD and I can not get the switchable GPU working again. I have the latest intel and amd drivers from Lenovo installed and both show up under dxdiag. When I try to access switchable graphics settings all I get is a blank page. The game I am playing shows what gpu is being used and it is Intel.
    If anyone has any ideas that would be great!

  • Unable to boot Win 7 after cleaning factory installed Win 8.1_shuts down at preparing desktop

    I had factory installed Win 8.1 on my HP P 206TX laptop but I wanted to install some software which does not support any OS above Win 7, so I wanted to remove this.
    I did the following process:-
    1. Created Win 8.1 recovery media(DVD) for future usage.
    2. BIOS setting:-
       a. Secure boot - Disabled
       b. Legacy boot - Enabled
    3. Cleaned hard disk through DISKPART
    4. Converted GPT to MBR
    5. Installed Win 7 Ultimate 64bit (DVD).......almost done till preparing desktop....
    Then just during preparing desktop, system logged off, shut down and restarted....
    But the restart does not boot windows at all.
    It only shows "press ESC for startup menu" and then restarts again with the same process repeating again & again.
    I have tried Repair through Win 7 DVD but it shows "this version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of windows".
    Please help as I am unable to find any solution anywhere on the internet.
    I hope HP can help me...PLEASE

    Hi 
      According to your machines support pages on HP website, Windows 7 drivers are not available for your machine this is more than likely the issue you are having . If you want to run software through Windows 8.1 that is not compatible for Windows 8.1 you can always run a Virtual box and install Windows 7 to Virtual box and run software via there..
          Google search Virtual box --- download and install then install your ISO image of Windows 7 and go from there..

  • App Store Uninstalled Apps Showing as Installed After Clean OSX Install

    Anyone know how to fix this?
    Did a clean Mountain Lion install on Mac Pro. Two apps show as installed (Twitter and Wunderlist) after the install, and they are most defintiely not installed, though I would like them to be ...

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    The Mac App Store (MAS) can see its apps installed on mounted partitions and ext/int HDDs. Is there a backup of your previous installation mounted on your Mac with these two apps? If so, that is why the MAS sees them as installed.
    Two ways to get the apps on your reinstall of Mt Lion;
    1. Locate the apps on the mounted drive and drag & drop the apps to the Apps folder on your Mt Lion boot drive
    2. Dismount the mounted drive with the apps, so the MAS doesn't see them and download them again from your list on the Purchased pane

  • Wifi Dropping Even After Clean Lion Install

    Hey guys,
    I upgraded to Lion after its release and ever since then my wifi has been driving me CRAZY. The wifi disconnects, and when I click on my network I get the error that the connection timed out. I'm always forced to turn the wifi off and then back on.
    It happened a TON, and consistently. It's extremely frustrating especially when I'm in the middle of a movie on my Apple TV and my iMac loses its internet and interupts the show. Sometimes it happens three or more times during one show.
    So I decided to do a clean install of Lion. I made sure all my important documents were on my Hard Drive and even wrote a list out of every application that I use regularly. Then I completely reformated my hard drive and did a clean install of Lion.
    But the issue is still happening. Still happening! I don't know what to do! Every computer in the house connects just fine and stays connected.
    I'm tried changing my MTU in the hardware tab of the Advanced network settings to 1280 because some people reported that helped but it still doesn't help.
    Please. I'm at a loss. The issue makes my iMac unusable and frustrating.

    I would try rebooting while holding down the Command - R keys to get  into the Recovery Partition.  There, run Disk Repair and then run Repair Permissions twice.  If that doesn't completely resolve it the the next step is to reset the PRAM, by rebooting while holding down the Command-Option-P-R keys.  These may be the problem solvers you need.
    Hope this helps

  • How to restore my itunes after clean Leopard install

    Hi!
    I made a complete backup of my MAC hard drive before doing a completely clean install of leopard.
    can someone tell me what I need to do (and where to go) to get the data off the backup image to make itunes work like before?
    thanks!

    Copy the entire iTunes folder including music to the new location.
    Click on the iTunes icon to start it, then immediately press an hold the Option key.
    iTunes will ask to Create new library or Choose existing library. Select Choose existing library and select the library in the folder you just moved.
    You will not need to set the iTunes prefs -> Advanced.

  • How do I restore preferences/bookmarks/etc after clean OS install?

    I decided to do a clean install of Snow Leopard because my computer was really slow. I was able to get back my mp3's and documents by dragging them out of my external drive, but I can't figure out how to get my bookmark, keychains and preferences etc back. I already tried Migration Asst, nothing really happened.

    This is the iMac G5 forum. You don't have one of those, so I'd advise posting either in the iMac Intel forum or the Snow Leopard forum.

    "Nothing really happened." When you do post this again, you'll need to give more information: how did you use MA and what did you select to transfer over? Be sure to describe your procedure and the results in more detail.

  • Spreadsheet Add-in connect dialog box do not appear after clean EPM-install

    Clean install of EPM with allmost all values default.
    version 11.1.2.1 on Win server 2008R2 and office 2010 32bit.
    Smartview seems to function properly.
    My impression from the documentation is that an installation of spreadsheet add-in does not require any post configuration, but maybe I am misstaken.
    So what needs to be done for spreadsheet add-in to show connect dialog box?
    Grant some kind of access in shared services?
    Change some environment variable?
    etc etc.
