How do I stop the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox update message from popping up?

There are times when I am streaming video, and do not want pop up messages showing on the screen. I do not like pop ups. There seems to be no way to turn off Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox update messages from popping up on the screen. If I could turn the pop ups off, i would. I am running Windows XP - Pro.

Download and install MS Autoruns:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902
Before you run Autoruns, in explorer, get properties on the chm help file and click the Unblock button if visible.
Otherwise you may be unable to use the help file.
Now run Autoruns.  Find all likely references to Thinkvantage Toolbox (PC Doctor) and disable (uncheck checkbox).
You don't have to remove the references, just disable them.  You can re-enable them later if you like.
Save and restart computer.  Poof! No more Thinkvantage Toolbox popups.  You will now need to run it manually.

    Johnnyontherocks it is likely you installed an updated version of the Adobe Application Manager.  Remove all copies of Adobe Creative software from the computer and reinstall to downgrade the installation.

  • How do i stop the iOS 6.1 update?

    Everytime I connect to my WiFi and my computer at home or anywhere else my iPod starts downloading the new iOS 6.1 update.I don't want to update because i'm waiting for iOS 6.1.1 update.How do i stop the update?

    Theres a few answers i found that could possibly work (im not sure which one actually will because i dont care if mine updates).  I also posted the link i found them at incase you want to go on that thread and just read through everything incase i missed something but i dont think that i did.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4319959?start=0&tstart=0
    "What I did is I did a force shut off of the iTouch by holding the home button and the sleep button at the top for 5 seconds and when I turned it back on it didn't go into the update automatically."
    "I had the same problem; clicked Download and Install for iOs6 and after that realised that I wanted to keep the old iOs for testing purposes. I disabled the wifi, backed the iPhone up via iTunes and after that restored that backup (just the data, not a reinstall). This fixed it for me, the software update screen is now back to the "Download and Install" button."
    This one is long but it looks like it could work.
    "The stupid iOS 6 update that nobody wants needs a certain amount of free space in order to download & install.  I had started the download & disabled WiFi like you did, so the download was paused.  While it was paused, I set my video camera to record & it sat there & recorded for like 2.5 hours (ugh) before it finally took up all the space on my phone.  Then, I went back in & enabled WiFi & checked the piece of junk iOS 6 install & it now said it couldn't download b/c there wasn't enough space. 
    I figured this solution still s ucks b/c now I can't download any apps or take any more pics or vids.  About 30 minutes later, though, I went back to the horrible iOS 6 download & a message popped up saying there wasn't enough space.  When I hit "OK" or whatever to clear the message, the screen had reset & gone back to the "download & install" button.  FINALLY I was able to stop the download & installation of iOS 6.  THANK GOD.  I want nothing to do with it, and there is NO WAY Apple is taking my Google Maps or YouTube."
    I hope that helps!

  • How can I stop the last character of my password from being displayed?

    Sorry, I'm sure this would have been asked before, but I couldn't locate it..
    When unlocking my iPad, how can I stop it from displaying the last character of my password to everyone in the vicinity? This has got to be the fastest way to find out someone's password (just look at the screen as they type their 'secure' password!?). Having the iPad display your password letter by letter is really not acceptable when working in a non-secure environment.
    Is there a setting somewhere, or will this be addressed in a new iOS, or just ignored as a 'that's the way it is'?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andy

    Hi,
    This may have been the way it has been on iOS since 2008 (not sure about that though), however I know (based on working in the IT industry for 20 years) that nobody on this planet can successfully argue that it would be 'acceptable security practice', for me to display 'every last letter' as I type of a secure 'root' password on my screen every day when you log in... Nobody would think it acceptable to display even their LAN/Domain password on the screen in this same manner. So why is iOS different?!
    iOS on a phone (it used to be argued) doesn't need to be very secure as it is almost entirely phone numbers and email addresses that are being stored. However in recent years when the applications got better, and tablets came out, security became a much bigger issue as more and more people started using the functions of 'smart' phones to store more 'sensitive' data.
    Kind regards,
    Andy
    Are you suggesting that someone looking over your shoulder can't see the keys that you're tapping with your fingers? In the interest of security, i would never, under any circumstances, enter a password when others are around.

  • How can i stop the sign in to icloud and photostream pop up windows

    The pop up windows asking me to sign into iCloud and photostream pop up constantly while im online.  This started to happen after the last update.
    I dont want to turn either of those off because i will lose any shared pictures i have.  Is there a way to stop these from popping up all the time?

    I don't think you have any choice now.  You can always delete the iCloud account after doing so and not use it.
    I'm afraid I'm not sure what else to suggest other than to enter your password.  If you don't know what it is, you'll have to contact Apple support for assistance by calling the Apple account security team for the country you're in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

  • How to drill down the cause of "SQL*Net message from/to client"

    Pretty frustrated with my tune up using suggestions from many papers for Oracle 10g R2 on AIX 5.3 L system. My users told me that the system (including Baan 5c) still responds slowly in some processes, some even worsen.
    Using both queries such as
    SELECT sid, schemaname, status FROM gv$session ORDER BY 2;
    SELECT inst_id, seq#, event, p1, p2, p3, wait_time FROM v$session_wait_history WHERE sid=<sid from above>
    INST_ID SEQ# EVENT P1 P2 P3 WAIT_TIME
    1 1 SQL*Net message from client 1413697536 1 0 6419
    1 2 SQL*Net message to client 1413697536 1 0 0
    and others similar, I found very large numbers (almost 97%) of the sessions have events as “SQL*Net message to client” and “SQL*Net message from client” on their wait_time even the sids are in inactive status. After checking the meaning of those messages in Oracle Performance and Tuning document, the document states that mainly they are probably network problems. So How can I drill down to what status of network from my client (the users) to server by Oracle or AIX? In Baan, it has its own parameter sets in its db_resource file controlling the connectivity. In average, there are 4000 “opened cursor current”, but most of them inactives.
    So my colleague asked me rollback all th changes I did on OS level such as minperm%=5
    maxperm%=90
    maxclient%=90,
    lgpg_regions lgpg_size,
    sys0 maxuproc=512,
    aio0 maxservers='260'
    and many ioo parameters to system defaults.
    I even removed the mulitplex copy of the redo log.
    I tried to proof them that there maybe the problem of the Baan/Oracle connectivity, ie due to message above,

    http://docs.oracle.com ... read them for configuration information.
    http://tahiti.oracle.com ... read them for recommendations.
    http://otn.oracle.com ... find the best practices docs.
    http://metalink.oracle.com ... look for similar issues to yours.
    People that change things, on production boxes, without first determining that metrics indicate they are a good idea, and then determining their impact on a test box, should be sold to zoos as leopard food.
    PS: Slowly likely has absolutely nothing to do with anything you touched. First you tune the application. Then you tune the database. Then you tune the operating system. Get out of the way and make the DBAs do their job.

  • How do I stop " disk was not ejected properly" message from showing

    My phone's jack isn't that great, and always seems to unplug and plug itself back in causing the " disk was not ejected properly" message to constantly show up. During movies this can become quite annoying, making it exit full screen mode.
    Is there any way to prevent this message from coming up so that I do not have to constantly deal with it?
    Thanks guys!

    I got a new iMac in January 2011. I properly ejected my external hard drive and got the same message. I plugged it back in and ejected it again. Nothing works. I keep getting the same error message every few minutes and it's driving me nuts. I have no loose connections. Everything else works. Does anyone have a solution for getting this to stop?

  • How do I stop the hp dv6 beats audio sound from pulsing and restore dynamic?

    I just got a HP DV6-7030TX laptop, with beats audio and I find the sound is constantly changing in volume through the internal speakers
    It seems to be, that the beats audio is trying to make quieter parts of the song louder, but when the loud parts come in there is a sudden drop is volume.
    I am able to reproduce this time and time again with songs that stop-start and its also seems to get reset when I change one of the presets in the beats config tool (Listening experience tab, chaning between Music, 3D content and Movie), although it almost always reverts back to the limited volume.
    I've tried updating the driver to the latest version on the HP website and also disabled the 'Beats Audio' checkbox in the config tool, but neither of these items help.
    Other forums have suggested to disable settings on the Sound 'enhancements' tab in the control panel, but I don't seem to have this option on my laptop.
    Otherwise I love this laptop, so it would be a shame to have to return the laptop because of this problem.
    Thanks,

    Download and install the driver from the linke below. it has a fix

  • How can I stop the wifi causing my MacBook Pro from crashing?

    Hi,
    It seems that my notebook is locking up completely when Mail launches and tries to grab emails.
    Occasionally I boot up and the 'wifi fan' icon on the menu bar is completely white: it doesn't find the router signal automatically.
    If I get the 'three arcs: full signal" on the menu bar and I surf, I can get to a few pages, then I can't get another page to load up: but the 'three arcs' are still there.
    If I click on the wifi fan logo and switch off wifi, when I try to switch it back on again, it simply won't show the 4 different signals it used to give me yesterday (mine and my neighbours). This is weird as in the past I could get surfing to work again by switching off wifi and switching it back on again. Not any more. So now I have to do a restart to get wifi working again. Yuck!
    I also got a complete crash when I got iTunes to download some updated apps for my iPhone.
    The following may or may not be related... I've just plugged in my iPhone, and I get a window saying "A new network interface has been detected. The 'iPhone USB" network interface has not been set up. To set up this interface, use Network Preferences." I have never seen this before, but I clicked on the button and the notebook seems happy now.
    I look forward to your comments and suggestions! Thanks for being there!

    Use a cloud serivce like Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, etc.
    Personally, I use Box and it works very well.

  • How can i stop the shortcuts to my external hdd from bein removed from the sidebar in finder

    Hi,
    I have a 2TB Samsung story station where i download all my movies and tv shows. (got about 200 GB left hahaha)
    On the drive there are some folders for the movies, tv shows, music and other content.
    In the Finder I drag 'n dropped the folders to the navigation bar (right under downloads, applications and desktop).
    But since it's a laptop, i have to take it somewhere and dismount the drive, now the shortcuts are gone. When I mount it again, the shortcuts are still gone.
    I thought I could create a shortcut to the folders and put those in my user folder, and drag those to the navigation bar, because they are still on my laptop so I figured they wouldn't be removed. Wrong. This is really starting to **** me off since there are about 5 folders on the drive I want in the navigation bar and since you can't drag 'n drop multiple folders at once into the bar, everytime i reconnect my drive i have to drag them back in there. Is there a way around this?
    Thanks in advance
    Bjorn Halenbeek

    Right the shortcuts, Apple Speak Alias, can't be in the Sidebar with the drive disconnected.
    If you placed a Alias to an folder on your internal drive on the Sidebar then Deleted that folder the Link/Alias/Shortcut would also be taken off the Sidebar as that folder no longer exists.

  • How do I stop the organizer in Photoshop Elements 9 from closing?

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop and Premeire Elements 9 two years ago.  The organizer would never stay open long enough for me to do anything with it.  I figured it was just my computer which had been having issues.  I installed it on my new computer this week and it is doing the same thing.   Is something set incorrectly or is this software just junk?  The company now encourages me to buy Version 11.  If 9 never worked why trust 11?  Any suggestions?

    Can you explain any error you are getting while running the organizer. Also any information about the hardware/software configuration would be helpful
