Issues with T420s running win 8.1 x64

I'm having the following issues on a T420s that I recently bought with a fresh install of windows 8.1 x64 + Office 2013, after installing most of the available drivers. The exact product ID is 4171 52U.
Function keys not working correctly:
Function-f5-f8 doesn't do anything
Function-f2 doesn't do anything (I didn't test the other power functions)
Pressing the ThinkVantage button doesn't do anything. I'm not sure if it's supposed to, though, since I didn't install that software.
Function keys that do work:
Function-pgup toggles the light above the screen. I did not test this before installing the hotkey driver.
Function-home/end turn the screen brightness up/down, and show the windows screen brightness slider for a few seconds. This worked before installing the hotkey driver.
Function-scroll lock turns numlock on and off, and shows an arrow/house shape with a 1 inside it on the bottom-right area of the screen. I did not try this before installing the hotkey driver.
Pressing the microphone mute button works and shows an overlay in the lower middle of the screen. This did not work before installing the hotkey driver.
Volume and mute buttons work. These worked before installing the hotkey driver.
I can't use bluetooth. I've seen posts in this forum, and I've tried several fixes to get it working, but it seems to be tied into the hotkey manager somehow (which I installed, but only seems to work on fn-pgun/dn/nmlck/home/end)
How do I disable the previous/next page shortcut keys above the right/left arrows? I keep pressing them accidentally while I'm typing, and my browser switches pages. It's happened twice while I was typing this. I don't see anything wrong with using the alt-key combination for this function...
Missing devices in device manager. I see a PCI Serial Port and a Base System Device. The Solution Center is giving me an alert about this. I believe one of them is the card reader, since that doesn't appear to be working.
The warranty only has 3 days left on it (as of now). I clicked through to your website to try and see what my options are for renewing it, and it presents me with an array of 1/2/3/4/5 YEARS and POST WARRANTIES. However, clicking on these doesn't actually do anything.
Installed software:
Conexant 20672 SmartAudio HD
Intel HD Graphics Driver 9.17.10.3347
Intel PROSet/Wireless Software 17.13.11
Lenovo Power Management Driver 1.67.10.02
Lenovo Settings Dependency Package 2.3.3.41
Lenovo Solution Center 2.8.004.00
Lenovo System Update 5.06.0034
On Screen Display 6.3.01
ThinkPad UltraNav Driver 16.2.19.14
More notes:
All settings in the UEFI-disguised-as-an-ugly-BIOS are enabled, except for all password functions, wake on lan, and the bios-over-lan utility.
If a speccy or other system report would help, let me know.

technically there is no process to upgrade. However a backup is never a bad idea. Things can always go pear shaped.
Backup info here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile
As the add-on site default to the latest version and the calendar is re release with ever Thunderbird version an upgrade is the simple way forward.

  • Issues with payment run

    Hi All,
    I am facing with a issue with payment run FPY1. Some of the customers are refunded the amount which is not supposed to be refunded to them. When i check the Contract account level and document level, at both level there is no outgoing payment method set. Is there any other way by which payment run would pick up the amount and refund it back to custmer.
    Kindly share your thoughts.
    Regards,
    Rahul

    Do you have a third level of master data?  In certain FI-CA systems there is a lower level of master data (i.e. contract, insurance object).  A payment method can also be set at this level.

    Thank you so much for helping,
    But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
    Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

  • Issues with 64 bit win 7 clients printing from 2008 R2 print server

    Hello All,
      I have a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64 bit server built with a print server role. My issue is  64 bit win 7 clients cannot add a new printer. The clients see the printer in the list, starts the printer installation, get to the point of downloading the
    driver & then fails ' Windows cannot connect to the printer. ' the error is 0x0000012 or 0x000003ee. Any way I try to add the new printer I get the same result. The only way I can get the printer added is to do a local printer with the full path \\servername\printer_name
    and then "have disk" and point to the driver folder on the print server to get the printer added.
    Anyone have any thoughts on why the 64 bit clients will not add a new printer from a 64 bit print server ?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    Please check if you can ping the print server successfully from this Windows 7 client computer. Did you encounter
    the same issue when add other printers? Or just for this one printer?
    Please type
    regedit on Run to open Registry Editor and follow the path:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Connections and check if there has existent printer connection on the registry key.
    If any update, please feel free to let me know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

  • Issue with user running Outlook on Windows XP

    We are having an issue with many of our users who have had their sent items disappear from Outlook. We are running Exchange 2010 SP2 with Rollup 8. All users on Windows 7 appear to be working fine, it is just users on XP that are having the issue. All
    PCs are SP3 with updates applied. The messages were there previously, but the Sent folder shows empty as of Monday. They show correctly in OWA, it is just in Outlook itself that is the problem. If we enable cached mode the items populate, but our standard
    policy is to run online with no local PST. We have tried running Outlook with /clearviews and in Safe Mode, but this does not resolve the issue.

    Hi
    Cached mode will use an OST file not a PST file.
    If you remove the contents from the folder and add a new profile does it work? Are you planning on upgrade to SP3 on exchange 2010?

  • Installation and compatibility issues with photoshop CS4 - Win 8

    I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 8. I am experiencing issues when attempting to install the downloaded and upgrade copy of photoshop CS4. Initially unpacking the software presented issues, but I believe they've been resolved - specifically I had to change the folder attribute from read only  while unpacking, of course the tedium arose when this endeavor didn't seem to apply the new attributes to all subfolders and files. I percivered though by repeating it for each folder throughout. When I select the icon for the setup.exe file though the process ends as quickly as it began. I considered that it my have been seeking the previous version (in my case photoshop elements) so I sought to install it first, but as you may have guessed the old software is experiencing it's own compatibility issues. Does anyone know if photoshop CS4 will even work in Windows 8, and I hope someone will have already cleared this hurdle and can give me direction - please, I really am hoping for a life preserver here!
    Thankyou, Chris
    PS I did attempt to open one of the attached adobe reader files that came with the downloaded copy, but unfortunately they won't open prior to installation given they show the file size 0kb. I don't know if these files are simply acting as place holders for the cab files - or whether there remains an issue while unpacking the files to begin with.

    If the executable doesn't even run, it's either being shut down by some security stuff on your system or can't find a component. Impossible to tell. whiel there may be compatibility issues, on a more general level CS4 should run on Win 8...

  • Issue with connecting to Win 7 VM from Sun Ray 3 Plus

    Hello everyone,
    I was issued a Sun Ray to familiarize myself with and I am running into a dropped connection problem.
    I am able to open Oracle Virutal Desktop Client and connect to my Win 7 VM from any machine including another Sun Ray but for some reason I can't maintain a connection if I use my current Sun Ray. I am able to log into the OVDI however when it proceeds to the Win 7 login screen I am only able to see the VM for a few seconds before being kicked back to the OVDI login screen.
    I have pulled the power on the Sun Ray, checked my network connections and made sure my password is correct. Any idea on what could be causing this issue?
    Thank you in advance

    Jon,
    I have been in the same circle for weeks (trying to get a MacBook Pro sharing files with WinXP Pro via a wireless network-the Mac files show up on the WIN machine, but I continuly get error messages on the Mac when trying to connect to the Win -well try this... I just remembered that I have a secondary virus protection program on the Win PC (Mcafee in my case). All of the documentation talks about Windows security - not about other "security blocking programs". There are no flashing lights or clear messages about what is happening. I bet if you check for 'blocked' attempts to connect to your PC you will find your MAC ipaddress listed. My shared network/files just showed up on my MAC desktop and it looks beautiful. Happy computing --pass it on...

  • Wifi issue with iMac running mavericks 10.9.4

    I have a 2010 iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4 and am having constant issues connecting with the wifi.  If I turn the wifi off and back on I can load 1-2 pages, then it will not load pages, the connection is dropped.  The problem is not the router, wifi connection is fine on my macbook running mountain lion and on my iPhone.  The settings are correct, it shows that the wifi is connected, PHY mode: 802.11n, Security is WPA2, transmit rate: 117...
    Help please...

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
    Step 4
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Reset the PRAM.
    Step 7
    Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    Step 8
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • Menu issue with IE8 on Win XP Pro

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.  I've spent the better part of 3 days trying to resolve this issue.  The link to my mockup page follows below and contains the example SpryMenu as well as a table of successes and issues based on browsers tested.  Most all (FF/Chrome/IE9) work close to what I had hoped, barring some small issues.  But IE8 (latest rev) on a Win XP Pro (SP3) just doesn't want to cooperate. Since that's a pretty high percentage of audience participation, I'd like to straighten this out, with your help.  Basic problem is, once the Menu loads, the buttons "white out" for a brief moment before providing the "hover" color (.gif).  There's more about the experience here:  http://parkplace.coffeecup.com/spry/

    Another 8 hours wasted, thanks Microsucks.  So...if you're still interestd, here is the trick I learned. I needed to change the background color of the "HACK FOR IE:" to be the same as my hover color:
    /* HACK FOR IE: to stabilize appearance of menu items; the slash in float is to keep IE 5.0 from parsing */
    @media screen, projection
        ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE
            display: inline;
            f\loat: left;
            background: #7F7F7F;  /* <<<--- this is what causes buttons to appear odd when you hover over them in some versions of IE (in my case 8.0.6001....) */
    Needless to say, I'm both a happy camper, but very unhappy with Microsoft's implementation of all things HTML.

  • Issue with Payment Run (FPY1)

    Hi Gurus, need you help. I am getting the following message when executing the FPY1. Exceptions        1 Message no. MASSACT101 Diagnosis Counter Exceptions has value        1. For a more precise description of counter Click Here. Counter in Payment Program: Items with Exception Indicator Definition Number of items that cannot be paid and that have been placed in the list of payment exceptions. Each payment exception is classified using the item indicator (data element POKEN_PAY). For each item indicator, you can define whether these exceptions are to be included in the clarification worklist of the payment run.

    Hi Aravind
    Payments which cannot be made through FPY1 are caught in the exceptions. You can view the exception list by checking on the excpetion checkbox. Each exception corresponds to an item indicator (POKEN_PAY). Check for what item indicator, you are getting an exception. The solution is based on the type of exception.

    Data from DBSTATTORA                                                                               
    No data from SAPDBA Storage analysis availible   
    How to perform SAPDBA storage analysis and is it something that is recommended to be performed on edi40 table (this is very big table 200GB and it has LONG ROW data type).

    Hi Andrija,
    Brspace output makes me think the table EDI40 does not have any statistics in the database. You can doublecheck by querying directly on sqlplus:
    %sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
    %SQL> select last_analyzed from dba_tables where table_name='EDI40';
    there should be a null result to that query.
    About statistics creation I do recommend you to read SAP notes 588668 and 122718.
    Good luck.

  • Font Issue With CS5 Running on Yosemite

    Hey all,
    I had upgraded to Yosemite (hoping it would fix my problems with Photoshop in Mavericks). Upgraded, and didn't seem to have any issues. But as I've tried creating new documents, my font library isn't being recognized by the Adobe applications (namely, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere Pro). I've tried re-copying fonts into my font library, re-installing them, but to no avail. I'm still without the fonts I'm needing for projects I'm currently working on.
    I reset the library to system fonts but have all my others backed up in case I can figure something out. Because of this, apple software seems to recognize all the system fonts just fine. But now, my font list inside of the Adobe CS is incredibly limited, and isn't even displaying the full list of system fonts.
    Anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this?

    Did you ever find a resolution to your problem? I'm having the same issue.
