Keyboard Failure with WIN 8.1 update today

My laptop (Ideapad Flex 15) updated and restarted this morning -- upon which I lost all KB function. I could not log in since could not enter my password. I plugged in a wireless USB KB which works. Any ideas how to restore laptop KB function?
Solved!

Try updating/reinstalling the chipset and IMEI driver. Reboot and check. OR try resetting the bios to default values.

Wired Keyboard failure after 10.5.3 update

Wired Moshi celesta keyboard ceased working after recent OS 10.5.3 update (not 100% certain failure is due to OS though). The Imac sees the device as a USB2 hub, not USB keyboard hub as with wired Mac keyboard - that works thankfully. Has anyone experienced non-mac keyboard issues problems following the OS update?

Yes, You should have a previous system folder after an archive and install.
Can you backup everything to a second HD? Or, were you running Time Machine (a good idea). If you can, then you can safely delete many things from the previous system folder. Or, at least enough to begin testing to see if your apps work.
I routinely do and A&I when I upgrade. Then I test all my apps (or at least the important ones and a sample of the lesser ones). I move the previous system folder to a spare disk and keep it around for a few weeks incase I need to copy something over (like fonts).
BTW, I suspect your start up disk is out of space, not memory. Again backing stuff up, particularly on a laptop is a very sound idea and also allows you to manage your stuff better -- older stuff goes on the backup. Despite some problems, Time Machine works well for this as do a number of commercial products.

Problems with 10.4.9 update today

I downloaded the 10.4.9 security update this afternoon.
This evening I began questioning my eyesight. I believe that this update has caused the display to look a little blurry. I'm seeing it on Safari and in InDesign.
I booted an earlier 10.4.9 from my second hard drive (not updated today), and everything looks fine.
Also, the ever-reliable Snapz X Pro has stopped functioning. The cursor freezes on the screen.
Also, the mouse cursor, when dragged on the desktop image, now moves the image a little bit.
I have got to quit biting on these updates so quickly.
Thanks.

YAY!!
I also was getting really bummed about the sudden blurriness, screen not quite fitting on display (slightly cut off) and the screen itself moving around slightly with the mouse movement. Thanks for (literally) clearing this up!
Is this a known issue then? Was it turned on for you or how did you know what the issue was? Hopefully Apple knows now.

K9VGM-V and HPET failure with win 7

I just recently updated my win xp to 7 and as I learned that win 7 supports HPET I went and turned it on in BIOS. Since than I started to receive in windows system logs warning about HPET saying 'Initialization of the High Precision Event Timer failed due to a BIOS configuration problem.....' so I rather turned it off in a bios not knowing where is a problem. I was thinking the cause could be that I am using internal graphic card. I don't know. Here I would need your input.
K9VGM-V
BIOS ver.1.8

Sorry, I have to clear things up.
RTC = Real Time Clock.
HPET = High Precision Event Timer
These are NOT the same things.
RTC is nothing more then the clock your motherboard contains to keep track of time.
HPET is nothing more then a more accurate timer to make events start more precise.
HPET is NOT a miracle some claim it to be, nor does it speed up things.
The only thing it does is make sure REAL TIME PROGRAMS start more precise then before.
If you are a multimedia audio/video-producer you probably want this timing to be more accurate.
For most people it brings nothing.
It's useful to rocket-scientists and such....but not for the normal people...
Please correct me if I'm wrong, it's not a new timer, it has been around for 10 years, but never used outside the very high precision real time people.
Is it useful today?....I doubt it for most of us.

Report Generation Toolkit failure with Win 7 and Labview 2013

I recently had my computer updated to Windows 7 and am now seeing a problem with the Report Generation toolkit (version 2013) when working with Excel files. If I try to run the New Report.vi with report type Excel selected I get error -2146777998. Doing the same thing with Word selected eventually opens Word, although this takes about ten seconds, but it does not generate an error. Selecting Standard Report or HTML also run without errors.
I've researched this error on line but I keep ending up .NET and C# forums where everything goes over my head. Has anybody got any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found the solution to this particular source of error code -2146777998. There are two template files that reside in C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2013\templates\Report by the name of MSOffice_RGT_Template.dot and MSOffice_RGT_Template.xlt. The problem came down to that these templates got corrupted somehow during the fresh install. As soon as I replaced them with versions from another machine the problem disappeared.
Just as a side note, I discovered the problem by kicking off the MS Office Report Express vi and out came a much clearer message that aimed me at the templates. Not quite sure why that message isn't echoed into the individual subvi's on the pallette, but life is a mystery.

I can no longer use gmail with Firefox since it updated today.

This morning, Firefox had updates for version 3.6.6 and I did this and now gmail is not working. The page loads and I can see my mail, but I cannot open any of the messages or compose a message and I cannot even see the people on the chat feature (I think this feature didn't even load). Since I can use gmail fine on internet explorer and have checked with other people who say there is nothing wrong with gmail, I am assuming it is a problem with the updates to firefox. My yahoo account works in firefox, so I will give you that email to reply to me.

Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

Nvidia Quadro fx2800m on w701ds with Win 7 64 update problem

Hello, i had a couple of crashes with blue screen and i knew it was the graphic driver because several times i saw the windows warning Graphic driver restored.
I decided to update it from the lenovo site by downloading the latest one, it was 307.xx and on installation it gave the error: This Graphics Driver could not find compatible graphics driver.
I downloaded the driver from the official nvidia website but it kept crashin after long time running, so i went to lenovo support and downloaded the latest one: 6md647ww.exe released on April 1st with driver version 311 and it gives the same error. I had a lot of troubles with this, installed lenovo system update but it doesn't help too, so npow i removed everything with device manager disable and uninstall, and automatically using windows driver update i have some version from 2011, no nvidia control panel and the other features.
Please let me know how can i install the official up to date lenovo driver, i even tried disabling the driver integrity check but it failed again.

In the meanwhile Rev 04 of the driver was published. This version is binary different to Rev 03 and - surprise - it now says correctly after unpacking it will install the 64-bit version. But after that same problem as before, "no compatible device found".
I did some searching into the files of 6md647ww. I guess the file Display.Driver\NVLT.inf contains a list of compatible devices - in this file the sections labelled NVIDIA_SetA_Devices.NTamd64.* list a lot of device-ids, for example PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0A3C&SUBSYS_214517AA and many more. The device id of the graphics card for a system can be found in the hardware/device manager of windows, I obtained that for my card and this id doesn't show anywhere in NVLT.inf. So if my guess is correct, it is no wonder the installer says "no compatible device" since the device id of my card is not listed in NVLT.inf.
Please note again that all previous versions of lenovo drivers for my NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800M did and do install without absolutely any problem!
This is strange, readme of the current driver version definitely says NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800M is supported by this driver, but the driver doesn't seem to contain the device id for it. Looks almost like the wrong driver was used / bundled into 6md647ww.
And again the question to the board / administrators if lenovo technical support is reading here and is there another contact at lenovo where I could direct my problem to? I am still having the sporadic heavy crash issue which is very dangerous since it can happen any time if displaying whatever graphics in whatever software and which therefore has a high risk of data loss. Also, installing the plain NVIDIA driver directly in the current version still has the problem of flickering and color errors, so this isn't a solution either.
Best regards, Michael

Printing failure with 10.5.7 update

I am still having printing problems with 3 hp printers - Computer 1 connects with a Color LaserJet 2605dn and OfficeJet j6480. Computer 2 connects with same 2605dn and Photosmart d5360. Both computers and printers worked absolutely fine with 10.5.6. Upgraded to 10.5.7 all went haywire. I have reinstalled drivers, upgraded to hp 1.1.1 and have gone through the list of suggestions (deleting printers and re-adding, resetting print system, download from Apple site not software update, etc) When I check for a printer driver through the 'open print queue/info/driver' I am not given an option to select a driver or printer model - Under the 'general' I show the host name as ::1, no driver version and no availability to select a driver (all is gray)- bonjour is not available. I am at a loss as to what to do next. Thanks

The solution was to reset the SMC and PRAM.

PlayReady failure with specific OS version of Windows 8.1 Update

Hello,
I'm observing a failure in my app during Smooth Streaming video playback using PlayReady DRM. The app is a WinJS Universal App solution for Windows Store and Windows Phone, using the latest updates for Visual Studio 2013, Update 4.
So far, the failure is limited to one specific version of the Windows 8.1 Update. I have two identical devices, both retail versions of the phone, that demonstrate this issue. Note, these same phones that fail with PlayReady can successfully
stream unprotected Smooth Streaming content.
My other five Windows Phone devices, with different OS version numbers, do not demonstrate the failure with the identical app installed. Therefore, I suspect the OS version may be the cause.
Failure description:
When I attempt to stream PlayReady protected Smooth Streaming video, the player initializes the media player and the MediaProtectionManager, but then displays the error state (The video failed to play. Try again.) immediately, and the following message is
displayed in Visual Studio:
MEDIA12899: AUDIO/VIDEO: Unknown MIME type.

Note, one of OS versions I've tested fails to stream the PlayReady protected Smooth Streaming content, and five other OS versions I've tested successfully stream the same video content.
Is this a known issue with a specific version(s) of Windows Phone 8.1?
Regards,
Andrew

Hello,
0x887A0004 equates to DXGI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED. This error is usually generated when you are trying to use Direct3D features that are not supported. Different devices support different D3D features since they contain different video hardware. It is possible
that a hardware feature that is required by the license is not supported in the hardware / driver of the device. I would recommend that you check the license and make sure that it does not contain any hardware specific requirements such as HDCP.
In other words try playing content with the least restrictive license and see if it works for you.
I hope this helps,

Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS.

Win 8.1 update with MSI GX70 issues

Hello people.
I recently updated my MSI GX70-3BE from win 8 to win 8.1 pro (update from store, not clean install), along with numbers of new driver supplied by MSI (VGA, SCM, killer network, etc.) and BIOS (w8_E176KAMS.50D) + EC (w8_176KEMS1.505)
Now I notice 2 problems after the update
1. Bluetooth headphone won't connect if I turn bluetooth off and on from SCM window, and my headphones also disappeared from playback device in control panel > sound. This never happened when I was using win 8. The ways to reconnect with any bluetooth device again are, first, disable then re-enable "Realtek Bluetooth 4.0+High Speed Chip" in Device Manager, another way to do the job is to restart the machine. This is very annoying because I can't use SCM alone to turning bluetooth on/off.
PS. I use SCM from windows 8 as the new one for win 8.1 doesn't has trackpad control, but tried both version and still get the problem
2. Just after I updated Bios and EC, I used Samsung magician to observed my SSD (samsung 840 pro 128GB) but it shown that my SSD is running in Sata II 3Gbs/s which never happened (again) in Win 8. I also used other program to see if it's running only 3 Gb/s and benchmark results dropped by half from those with Win 8. I tried to updated firmware&EC and AMD catalyst control but that didn't help.
Does anybody ever experienced anything like this?? Please help. Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks you

This is really the first I've seen any issues regarding this. The bluetooth is especially strange. The best I can say regarding that issue is to contact MSI about it.
>>How to contact MSI.<<
The Samsung 840 Pro was very troublesome on most of the GT60/GT70 notebooks, as it wouldn't run at SATA3 speeds on those, at all, ever. No matter what Firmware/BIOS/EC or driver you used, it just wouldn't work. No one ever figured out why, most just shy'ed away from using it because it was a problem and didn't perform as well over time compared to other drives. Perhaps try checking in the bios to see what it's recognized as before Windows boots to see if it shows up at SATA3 or SATA2 speeds?

Satellite P845T-107 with Win 8 PRO but after Win 8.1 update it isn't PRO

Yesterday at Saturn Salzburg bought the notebook.
It has on the bottom a PRO Windows 8 label.
Unfortunately, I first initiated the update to 8.1 and then only a backup created on a USB stick.
Windows has muddled up the the Pro version after Win 8.1 update.
Can not join domain, as I expect from a PRO version actually.
How do I get the original Pro version again?
The label does so, that there must have been a Pro license.
How do I get the licenses number?
I'm A bit sour ... how Toshiba is helping me?

Hi
Regarding to the Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page, the notebook was preinstalled with Windows 8 64bit.
[Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page|http://www.toshiba.de/discontinued-products/satellite-p845t-107/]
It was not Pro version.
You can also check all the details about this notebook on the Toshiba Unit Details

I will need to put the serial number to get the information.

Re: Satellite Z30-A with Win 8.1 - Driver update confusion

Hello,
I have a question regarding driver updates. Currently, Windows Update recommends me to update the audio driver (important) and the LAN driver (optional). Toshiba Service Station, however, doesnt offer new drivers for these devices.
My question is whether I should install these updates (particularly the important one) or if they are not approved by Toshiba yet?
Moreover, does anyone have a changelog for the new 3.8 Bios?
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick replies! I was just tempted because one of the updates was classified as "important", for whatever reason, which are normally those updates that should be installed (e.g. for security reasons). In fact you are right, I dont have any problems with my laptop.
Sorry, forgot to state the model: Z30-A with Win 8.1
Any ideas about the bios update?
Thanks!

After updating today MacPro with OS 10.7.5 will not restart, can someone advise what to do?

Had an OS update today, from OS X Lion to ver 10.7.5 which needed to restart to install. My computer will not restart. Have MacPro.

Ok so here's what happened. My machine has 8GB Ram. We tested the Ram and moved it between the cards & slots in the Mac in various combinations. As far as we can tell Ram is fine. We removed two sticks of Ram and now the machine runs with 6Gb Ram... At a loss to explain why but the machine is now running again and seems normal if a little slower. Will continue to run with 6 and see what happens.
