Missing menus in BIOS

Hi all,
I recently took delivery of a Yoga 2 13", and once I figured out how to get into the BIOS I took a look around and made some notes. Initially the menus were: Debug, Information, Configuration, Main, Advanced, Security, Power, Boot.
At some point the contents of the BIOS changed and now Debug, Main, Advanced and Power no longer appear. Does anyone know what might have caused that, and how I can get them back?
T.

Hello, and thanks for helping.
Enabling "Power Tech" gives me a few more options like EIST and Intel Turbo Boost. But I can still not make any bigger changes to the ratio. Still stock between x16 and x39.
I read somewhere that this MB doesn't even give you the possibility to overclock, but that can't be right.

Missing menus from SPRO after a SAP All In One install

Hi guys hoping someone could point me in the right direction on this one.
About a year ago I build 3 SAP AIO systems (one being dev, another being UAT, last being Production).
The way I installed was to use the manual on all 3 systems and not to install the base and then transport modifications over, the reason for this is that it seemed the safest way. After about 12 months a have had a user come back to be and say that the UAT system and the PROD systems are different and that the PROD system is missing the following menus under the Logistics - General menu in IMG
The missing items in the production system are
Article Hierarchy
Generice Hierarchy
Price Level Groups.
I have check SFW5 in both system and both of them have the same options selected in the Business Function Status's
As I have been out of BASIS for almost 12 months I have no idea where to look here to see which part of the install didn't work.
I think a good start would be "Does anyone know how I could be missing menus out of IMG when the Business Function Status are correct"?
One last thing is that Production isn't live yet, hence why they have only just found it.

Hi,
As you could not find any difference in the business functions of both the systems I would ask u to make sure that both the systems are at the same support pack/add-on level. This may be the cause for the missing menus.

After migrating to new Mac Pro Dreamweaver won't launch, says missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

After migration to a new Mac Pro Dreamweaver CS6 won't launch. It says it is missing menus.xml file. How do I resolve this?

Hi rustyg12,
Go to Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/Configuration/Menus/menus.bak
You'll see a menus.xml there - it is a backup copy of the actual menus.xml file that DW uses.
Copy it from that folder, paste it 1 level above (in Menus folder).
Fire up DW. See if it works.

InDesign CS6 - missing menus

I've uninstalled InDesign CS6 (cloud membership)... downloaded reinstalled through the cloud app, installed without errors, but i'm missing menu items/windows and its driving me crazy.... do i need to reinstall again?
missing stroke, but it can get to the weight by the contextual menu
missing the object text box menu item (forget what its actually caused)
little things like that
please help

Thanks Peter... i'm working again
     created a new user account everything was there...
     logged back in as my own account manually removed Adobe folders (and files) in Application Support, Saved Application State, & Prefs for the User...
     restarted and launched, everything is back
     I tried ditching each one at a time and that didn't work, had to trash everything at once, so somewhere it was picking up somethat that wasn't right.
p.s. Edit>Menus where all turned on, resetting the workspaces didn't make a difference either... weird
Thanks Again! I'm a happy camper now

Acrobat X Pro Missing Menus

I'm in Acrobat X Pro and have no "Document Comments Forms Tools Advanced" drop-down menus. I only have "File Edit View Window Help." Thanks for any help.

Thanks, I'm trying to find where to run form field recognition. I'm trying to create a PDF form by importing a Word document, but it's not recognizing any fields. I keep getting "no new form field annotations were detected." I found an Adobe TV tutorial, which said to run form field recognition, but it was from an earlier version, and I can't find it in version X Pro. Really, I'm looking for any way to get my form fields recognized. I've tried Word documents and PDFs, and I get the same message. Thanks for any additional help you can offer.

Missing chasis in bios update

Trying to update two chasis's firmware to 2.0 3c. When I filter on bios the first chasis display's all b200 m3 servers. But the 2nd chasis with two b440 m2's is not visible at all to update.
But when I filter on cimc/io modules etc... the 2nd chasis and its servers are visible for me to update/activate...I have tried to "acknowledge" the 2nd chasis with no positive change..
Thanks

The B440 doesn't have a two stage BIOS (Running/Backup) like the B200 M3s and other newer blades. The only method to update the BIOS on B440 is via a Host Firmware Policy with the appropriate BIOS included.

Robert

Missing menus right side of menubar

I normally keep a wide variety of icon menus and features at the right end of the menubar, including the date and time, sound volume adjustment, AirPort signal etc. A little while ago they all disappeared except for the far right Spotlight menu, which doesn't work either, but the blue circle and magnifier icon flashes now and then. I've tried resetting the PRAM, checking/repairing the hard drive and checking/repairing the file permissions—no effect at all. I was going to reset the NVRAM but I can't seem to even get into Open Firmware (starting up with Command-Option-O-F does nothing).
All suggestions short of reinstalling the OS appreciated. If all else fails I'll reformat and reinstall, but I don't want that pain if I don't have to do it.

First go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy and make sure the hard drive icon is not there. If it is there, select it and hit the minus sign below to get Spotlight to start reindexing. If it is not there, drag the hard drive icon from the desktop to the privacy pane, and then select it and hit the minus sign below to reindex the hard drive. Select the Spotlight menu to verify it has started to reindex. Come back in a couple hours and make sure that the spotlight menu no longer shows it is indexing. If it is, wait yet another couple hours until all indexing has completed and you can search again with Spotlight.
Go to hard drive -> System -> Library -> CoreServices -> Menu Extras and double click the menu items you want shown in the right sidebar. Any other menu items are third party and need to be re-enabled via the third party software installer.

Exported ISO Missing Menus?

This is a very bizarre thing to have happened... basically I finished a big Blu-Ray project with motion menus and various videos on it. I did a test build to an ISO file and mounted it with Daemon Tools on my computer. But instead of showing the menu, it just first started playing a random clip that was in the bonus features. I'm using Media Player Classic (it's the only program that would open it). Using the Navigate menu, I can't even access the menus...
I didn't get any errors when I went to build the project, so quite confused. Any ideas?
Thanks

Burn a BD-RE and see what you get on a BD player.

[msi k8n neo4-f] missing options in bios

1. is there any posibility to turn off fdd seek and to turn on num lock? there is no that options in bios.
2. does this mainboard have built-in firewall?
thanks

no no, i've just wanted to disable fdd seeking during fdc controller initialization. now i know that it is impossible with official bios version (with numlock the same)
now the question where can i find hacked/modded bioses for this mainboard? (http://www.lejabeach.com/MSIK8N/k8nneo4ultra/k8nneo4.html ---> does these bioses fits to neo4-f? i think for all k8n neo4 (nforce 4 and nforce 4 ultra) bioses are the same)
and one more question: i've read on some other forum that on this mainboard with bios v1.3 and higher (official) it is impossible to set FSB higher than ~229MHz (blank screen even i've set memory to 100MHz, HT x1 and higher CPU voltage) and the sollution is to flash with bios v1.2 (official) or modded/hacked version. is it true?

Can HP/otherPEOPLE RESPOND to MISSING "ATA PASSWORD" FEATURE IN BIOS (SECURITY) ??

Hello people,
Can you please answer following ?:
Note: I can fix anything (Engineer & x-Tech here), so rarely (if ever) ask for help, but one problem is killing me with certain consumer (nonbusiness) laptop:
I purchased HP:
ProductName#: "DM1Z" (DM1Z-3000, to be exact), specific Product# XL303AV.
Product/part# not important b/c problem covers many such HP ultraportable Laptops.
===
Let me first state the Question/Problem (short), then go onto Explanation (lengthy):
HP-SUPPLIED "BIOS" IS MISSING ABILITY TO SET "ATA PASSWORD".
IS THERE SOLUTION AVAILABLE or COMING UP; and FOR ALL PEOPLE or if not, COULD I GET ONE IN PRIVATE (might even pay a reasonable fee for modifying BIOS!) ?
==========
Explanation:
You may call DM1Z a "Consumer" Netbook/UltraLaptop, but in reality we're using for business (here). Meant for travel, by design, this is a Novel machine most powerful in the world for its size when came out. Things get stolen or FORGOTTEN often when you travel. I've been using what is called "ATA Password" (aka "Harddisk Lock") since time immemorial (since late 1990's) on other UltraPortables, and keep using on current HP EliteBooks, *enovo & *sus. But the irony, this "DM1Z" meant for travel and thus easy target for THIEVES, is a problem with security.
For your info: I keep industrial drawings, banks/creditcards, emails and if Harddisk is removed/stolen, I'll need a gun to shoot myself. FDE Encryption is NOT a solution for DM1Z - read below.
But first:
Please assure your Technical knowledge is deep enough b/c to avoid bloating message, I provide minimum explanation for a subject some Sales folks keep confusing with another (people who use cheap computers, have no clue BIOS/PowerOn password has NO relation to Harddisk/ATA Password - so would help if an engineer or technically-inclined customers/enthusiasts respond to following:
If you use computers for serious business rather than "pictures, music" or similar waste alone; you are likely using either or both protections:
a) Encryption (Software or Hardware types) and/or
b) Harddisk aka "ATA Password" (been part of ATA Command Set since mid 1990's, powerusers know). The term "Harddisk" here is interchangeable with SSD Drives (new SSD's e.g. Intel320series, are ATA Password compliant just like conventional/spinning harddisks).
I know all about Encryption and it is NOT the subject of this email, in some cases we cannot use Encryption to full extent (e.g. FDE [Full Disk Encryption] in a form of BitLocker, TrueCrypt, PGP, etc.), or we can't use it for the entire Harddisk/SSD, or it has tobe combined with ATA Password anyway. Self-encrypting/Built-in AES storage like new SSD's from Intel (Intel320) or some WesternDigital harddrives (SED - Self Encrypting Drive) are also not an option.
A Netbook like DM1Z is not a full-blown workstation, so its processor is both weak overall + lacks builtin AES Encryptor Accelerator (found in Intel i7-2600 for example).
Forget encryption. Too long to explain, just please accept this fact.
All I am asking to please answer WHY "ATA Password" feature (security) is missing in BIOS and HOW to get it back, either for everyone or can I pay a small $fee to get BIOS modified?
This one little feature would be a golden key to move DM1Z beyond "games" and more into business use. Right now I have to struggle with lame Encryption that suffocates this little Netbook processor. Why no "ATA password" present in BIOS ?? Like I said this is not a 50-pound home-bound machine, it's ultraportable, it travels, things get stolen or FORGOTTEN. I did find a couple wallets in various airports with USBflashdrives (returned), but in our case my data is utterly dangerous to be stolen.
=====
Explanation - Detailed:
ATA Password can be set in most business/hi-end laptops & some desktops BIOS's simply because they don't hide such functionality; cheaper/consumer machines hide it to deny {Content Removed: Language Filter Evasion} customers' [who only use computers for entertainment], though manufacturers like Intel , *P, *ell, *enovo/*BM or *sus may offer also on consumer models. Too bad for HP - DM1Z, you might be losing sales for professional/business applications.
Remember I politely asked for Technically-inclined people to respond, which Sales folks often are NOT. They keep confusing ATA/Harddisk Password with other passwords - usually PowerOn/BIOS/Supervisor passwords present in most even "cheapo" computers - but completely unrelated & worthless (it can be
reset by kids in minutes)! DM1Z does have that password (PowerOn and/or BIOS-style access), but it has no relation to "ATA password.
No professional takes "PowerOn" or "BIOS" password(s) seriously - it is a joke which can be defeated in minutes (even by kids). I promised not to explain much, but let me say this much:
Your data is on a storage device, if a Thief steals your Harddrive/SSD & plugs into another computer/controller board ==> you're DEAD if ATA Password was not setup. Doesn't mean ATA Password is hard to crack, but it is a real strong protection against moderately violent attack. Ultimate protection is Encryption, but like I said I am contacting you to give us back "ATA Password".
Encryption is NOT the subject of this Message.
The missing ability to set Harddisk/ATApassword (also applies to DM1Z w/ SSDdrive attached, instead of Harddisk) is giving us a headache, in fact I can manage every technical problem but not missing feature in BIOS/UEFI. Because hacking BIOS and/or using third-party ATA/Harddrive hacktools is very risky and so many people have ruined their hardware, not to mention that life is short and we are not going to spend it searching for some "Hacktools" to bypass BIOS.
>======>
P.S.
I personally started using Harddisk/ATA Passwords back in mid 1990's in *BM *hinkpads (*BM was first to implement ATA "Security Xtension" added into ATA Standard in mid 1990's); later they were renamed as L*novo, also I used A*us even consumer laptops offered ATA password!; now for business we're using STRICTLY "HP EliteBooks"; I like HP stuff due to its roots in Science/Instrumentation. Even my engineering tools made by Agilent technologies, is nothing but a former HP division spun off years ago. World's best Test & Measurement tools. OK fine, I won't rant more but:
But this same omitting "ATA Password: feature in such UltraPortable while its processor is not meant for FDE Encryption heavy load, is a PAIN.
On the other hand I am not too stupid & recognize tech Support may get additional workload from "idi0t-customers" who forget their password.
How about us, technically capable people get it for a reasonable fee as a "Modified BIOS" or some BIOS add-on or just flash a huge warning in RED LETTERS before user is setting a password, that no one in the world will reset password if forgotten.
Come one, we cannot turn into a nation of {Content Removed: Language Filter Evasion}
Else, nothing can be allowed for customers - even using a microwave oven is dangerous!
So the question is:
a) Does anyone know a workaround? Either within BIOS or outside?
b) Question is to both HP users + HP officials who might be reading it.
I can't transform everything here to use Encryption FDE, but it's overkill for AMD Fusion processor & for other reasons (too long to explain) we just want a simple:
"ATA Password" back into BIOS"
================>
Thanks if you can answer?
Max S.

I will wait for more responses, maybe someone in the world can share experience, meanwhile thanks for your response.
May attempt to hack BIOS on my own, or talk to HDD/SSD thru "notorious" HDDerase Utility which bypasses BIOS but risk is high. Lame BIOS may not enumerate a locked ATA device at PowerOn, yet some people from Intel SSD forum reported success.
P.S. ATA Password is crackable.
If you had a drawer full of locked harddrives, it is an indication how many people messup (at least in America in recent times, we seem to be losing Technical edge -how does one lock their own harddisk and forget pass is beyond me).
But for those folks who suffer from forgetfulness:
Basically a question of Cost vs. Data value.
If Data really valuable, they can PAY and get it cracked after proving OWNERSHIP (whatever company cracks ATA pass w/o requring proof, is illegal).
My data is far more valuable than a collection of {Content Removed: Language Filter Evasion} or grandma's photos - I keep industrial design files, banks, and secret letters, but cracking ATA Pass is fairly expensive and not worth for thief to steal my data. So it's kind of effective.
If I need ot crack it - first off, I don't forget passwords
Second, if you are the owner and esperienced person, you do keep backups and image(s) and just write off $$ you spend on harddrive as a LOSS, and restore image to a new Harddrive. SSD's take only minutes to restore image (though losing locked SSD is more expensive than locked HDD).
Anyways,
ATA/Harddisk pass is the ONE & BEST (for my kind of people) solution for an ultraportable Laptop/netbook whose processor is not adequate to run FDE (BitLocker, TrueCrypt, PGP), it's not i7-2600 w/builtin AES as in our workstation.
==
Can you please leave this topic alive for much longer, in case someone else responds.? I just posted and only few users seen it.
Sometimes best solutions come from other Users, rather than Mfg. Official tech Support.

Lenovo T400 missing "discrete graphics" in Bios

Hello guys, i'm new in the lenovo users community!
i just bought from a friend a lenovo t400 that has installed in it the OS windows XP... and i was reading in forums and other places that this lenovo has a switchable graphic card. for another one that is the ATI 3450 i think..
I know that the windows Vista has the capability of making the switch very easily. but now im working in a company with my laptop and cant install this OS.
i've read that i can do it via BIOS, but when i go BIOS > Config > Display .. i only see 2 options... select the port (internal / PCI Express) and the Monitor thing (Thinkpad, digital, etc)..
I've seen in forums that there are another 2 choices (for discrete graphics and OS detection) but those seems to be missing in the Bios...
What do i need to do?
What can i do?
I want to use this other graphic card... Can anyone Help?
Thanks a lot

Your laptop may not have the switchable graphics option installed. Check to see what is in your system through Lenovo.com/support/warnty-look.
Some units did not ship with switchable graphics option.

MSI 945GCM7-F RAID Function missing in BIOS

Hi every1, i just got my MSI 945GCM7-F last week, was trying to enable the RAID function in BIOS to use the Intel Matrix Storage Manager but the RAID function is missing in the BIOS.
According to the manual, to enable RAID in BIOS should be under
Integrated peripherals; On-Chip ATA devices; then RAID Mode
But my BIOS do not have the RAID Mode and AHCI Devices Group option, under On Chip ATA Devices only have On-Chip IDE controller and PCI IDE BusMaster.
i did try and flash my BIOS using th liveupdates but the BIOS still remaind the same. Kindy advice and thanks alot guys!
# Intel Pentium 4 550
# MSI 945GCM7-F
# 2x kingston 1GB DDR2 533)
# On board
# 2x Seagate 200gb/250 SATA
# Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP3)
And also can tell me more about Motherboard shorting the casing issue, i think i have this issue too, some time mobo just dun start up after cpu fan spin a while, i try to unscrew the screw abit and sometime works and sometime dun. Thanks alot again

Quote
the following drivers are availabe for this board in particular.
Intel ICH7R/ICH8R SATA RAID Driver (For floppy driver)
Intel IAA RAID Edition for ICH7R
that should then mean that this board has ICH7R and supports raid. please could you explain
Your conclusion is not quite correct as it ignores the fact that there are two premises:
Quote
Intel® ICH7/ICH7R Chipset
This piece of information mentions two different chipsets:
1. The Intel ICH7 Chipset
2. The Intel ICH7R Chipset
Now look at the following:
Quote
- Serial ATA RAID 0/1/0+1 for ICH7R.
- Integrated AHCI controller for ICH7R.
It tells you that only the ICH7R Chipset features SATA RAID and SATA AHCI Modes.
The board comes in two different variants (which differ only in the chipset used (ICH7 vs. ICH7R). Consequently, the the fact that MSI offers AHCI/RAID Drivers in the download section does not rule out the fact that the board variant you have could have an ICH7 Chipset which does not support AHCI or RAID Operation.
Please pay attention to the following sign which appears right next to the specs on the product page:
That said, let's look at this in more detail:
Quote
i had it before firmware upgrade.
Are you absolutely sure you are remembering it right? Are you sure that a BIOS Update changed this or is it possible that you are referring to your other board which could have been the ICH7R Variant?
Quote
and the previous board also had the option.
What BIOS Version did you use before the BIOS Update?
Which BIOS Version are you using now?
How was the BIOS Updated and why?
What is the serial number of your mainboard(s)?

Your board part# P67A-G45 (B3) actually doesn't have a BIOS, it's using UEFI - but I don't care how you call it now, we just need "ATA Password"

contacting MSI Technical Support is way you should try out first. Whatever I say will not keep other users from responding. So, please, try to relax a little.
I did. They said at this time official response is to not change BIOS. That's why based on experience I found this User Forum, some of the best solutions come from users who venture outside of standard canned response you might get from tech Support for one (1) board.
If I were some company buying 300 Motherboards, of course MSI might attempt a custom BIOS.
But the feature I am talking about is so straightforward basic, almost all business laptops (at least my EliteBooks now, and *sus, *enovo, *ell in the past) had iit. It is usually (wrongly) called "Harddisk Password". First time I had it in 1998 in *BM *hinkpad.
Makes stealing your harddisk difficult! I keep industrial drawings + Banks/creditcards/emails on this harddisk attached to MSI Mobo.
If stolen, I will need a gun to shoot myself. FDE (Encryption) is one solution, but for reasons too long to explain need ATA password.
OK so I will wait alittle more in case someone did activate it.
P.S. I am not a gamer. But I am a player.

Missing SM BIOS Service Driver?

Seem to be missing the SM BIOS service driver...
I thought it was part of the chipset driver but installing it didn't resolve it. I've run the Update utility and that does't pick out the driver for it either.
