Power settings missing after clean install of Windows 8.1 on Helix

After a smooth clean installation of Windows 8.1 and loading all the Lenovo drivers, software, and apps, the system runs extremely well except in the Lenovo Settings Metro App, I no longer see the option of battery life protection (to charge only up to 50%). In addition, in the Windows power settings, there are only four power profiles: high performance, balances, power saver, and fly mode. I do have Lenovo Power Management Driver and Settings Dependency Packages installed. Lenovo's System Update does not show any missing installations. I wonder if anyone can give me some clues. Thanks.

The battery health mode setting was removed. We don't support this setting anymore.
The preload comes with a couple additional power profiles that we don't make available except in the preload. However they are not anything special. You can create your own power profile(s) in the Power control panel to do whatever you want them to do - idle timers, CPU speed, etc.
I accepted the answer as a solution, but I frankly think the battery health mode is very important to have.
My T400s, with both the main and ultra-bay batteries, started with about 6:30 hours of battery life (of course, under my typical work load). 4 years later as today, it still has about 4:30 hours. If I kill some processes and use IE instead of Chrome, I can get 5 hours. I think the long battery lifes have been a consequence of the setting of no start of charging until below 85%.
To replace either battery in Helix, a lot of effort is needed. I think it makes a lot of sense to keep them health.

Hi, I wanted to do a full clean install of Windows 10 in my Encore WT8.So I first upgraded it to Windows 10 and then runned the installation via a USB Pen.

My notes about a clean install are in another thread, but you have done 99% of what you need.Just grab the 'intel platform installer' and run it. This will give you a functioning touch screen.The version I used was win8.1 vintage and works without a problem.

How save factory software on T400 and reinstall after clean install of Windows 7

Hi
I have a Thinkpad T400 2764-CTO Running Vista Business 32-bit and want to do a clean install to Windows 7 Pro.
Sounds like I can get all the drivers via System Update 4.0, but I'm concerned about how to save/re-install some of the software that came on the machine.
In particular, Intervideo WinDVD and Roxio Media Import. If I go to my Programs folder and copy the folders for Roxio and InterVideo onto a flash drive, and then re-copy into the Programs folder on the C drive after a clean install, does that work?
I've never used Rescue and Recovery on the laptop, and am not sure how it works. Any advice is appreciated.
I'm not sure I even know all the stuff that exists from the factory. Anything else I should be concerned about? Thanks! - Kathleen

Please review the HP software and driver download page for drivers/software that are compatible with Windows 7. Also note that there is a BIOS update for Windows Vista that improves the system's ability to function with WIndows 7. Also read "Alerts" and other information regarding this product and Windows 7.

Satellite P305-S8820 - FN key not working after clean install of Windows 7

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8820. I recently did a clean install of Windows 7. I have loaded the Toshiba value added driver pack and the trackpad driver but still cannot get the trackpad or the FN key to work.
Any ideas?

Hello John
You are like other millions other users and what you can read is relevant for you but sometimes it works a little bit different. For you it can be useless but sometimes it helps. Fact is that this utility is offered for some notebook models.
Generally speaking you are right and after VAP installation the job should be done but Ive faced the same problem in the past. Sometimes it works well and sometimes not. You will not believe me but in the past I used stuff for Satellite P300 to get all stuff working on Satellite A350. I cannot explain why this happen and it sounds crazy but it is the truth.
You can also try to play a little bit with VAP installation. Try to install VAP for A300/A350/P300. Generally speaking it is the same and if this will not work well you can remove it from the system.
Launcher for flash cards? It must be listed in MSCONFIG > startup > TcrdMain.exe

Fingerprint Driver Install after clean install of Windows 7

I've performed a clean install of Windows 7 on my X300 (6476CTO). I downloaded and installed the Fingerprint Driver 5.9.2 for Windows 7 32-bit (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-73583). However, everytime I reboot I get a message that the Fingerprint Reader cannot access dll file vtapip.dll and the fingerprint registration fails. What can I do to remedy this problem?
I did notice on the readme that machines running less than the 5.6 version of the fingerprint software should upgrade to 5.6.2 before installing newer versions. Does this include clean installs? If so, where can I get the 5.6.2 driver? I cannot currently locate it.
Thanks,
Mindy

I have searched for A200 and A210 in the Toshiba sections of Equium, Satego, Satellite and Satellite Pro but their are no Flash card support utility. In the details of the "Value added package" are the words:
"TOSHIBA Flash Cards provides the Hotkey function and the launcher function that starts the Hotkey function and launches the other TOSHIBA utilities"
So I think it's useless to search for this utility. It's more important for me to know which files (like name of the launcher program) must be started to use the FN keys.

Profile missing after "clean" install

I performed at 'Reset' because of unwanted search engines that had appeared and got the message "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible".
I tried to do an update to clear the problem but still I got the same result.
Following advice from the internet, I uninstalled firefox and deleted all files and folder references to the old installation. I ran System Mechanic to clean the Registry, CCleaner to remove any other traces and then looked for 'Firefox' in any file by using Windows explorer. The system was rebooted and another "Clean" install run but I still get the same result.
I am running Windows Vista SP2 on a laptop with an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5450 @ 1.66GHz
PLEASE help

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Can I use the same serial number for master suite when reinstalling after clean install of windows 8

I am reinstalling windows because windows got corupted. I can not access my computer to deactivate the software. Do I need to be worried about not having deactivated it? I will be reinstalling mastersuite 6 after I get windows 8.1 clean installed on the same computer. I just want to make sure I will not have any problems reinstalling and setting up the adobe mastersuite after I have installed windows 8.1. I don't want to have a problem with the serial number still being registered to my old installation of windows that will have been on the same pc.
Thanks for your help!

Your previous activation will still be in the loop, so you should contact Adobe support and ask them to reset your activations. That way you can be sure you have the two your license allows for. You can always skip this if you only activated once before but it will leave you with no extra activation should you find a use for a second installation.

Core Audio Components Missing After Clean Install and Update to 10.3.9?

I did a clean install of 10.3.x onto my hard disk and then updated to 10.3.9 through Software Update.
Before this install I'd been running 10.3.9 (my disk crashed -- or so I thought -- hence the re-install of all above). I'd been running a music recording program and taking advantage of Apple's Core Audio AU components (e.g. AUDelay, etc), which should be in /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components/ or something like that. Now they are missing entirely.
How do I get them back? Where are they to find?
Thanks!

It was a problem with the 3rd party software -- I hadn't run the installation update to interface with the AU Components -- after the reinstall. Thanks.

Touch doesn't work after clean install of Windows 7 Professional

I have an IQ526t. I did a clean install (remove drive/repartition/format drive) of Windows 7 Professional, and now the touchscreen feature doesn't work. I've been on forums here and at Mirosoft, downloaded various drivers, rebooted multiple times, etc....no luck. I get the sound, but no response. Thoughts???

Hello bmarkj,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that you have removed the recovery drive and installed Windows 7 by not using the OEM version that came with your computer. You have a couple options here, first you can download and install the HP Support Assistant and let it download and install the software and drivers that came with your computer. You can alter the settings so that the updates are manually done giving you control over what gets updated and what does not. Or you can download and install the drivers and what software you want from HP TouchSmart IQ526t CTO Desktop PC Drivers page. The choice is yours.
***NOTE: Be warned that there is software that come with some of the computers that is ONLY available from the recovery drive so you may not see everything you are used to seeing. The only way of recoverying this software is through the HP Recovery Discs.
I hope I have addressed your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

IPhoto missing after clean install of 10.6.3

I have an iMac 27" that came with intallation discs.
I had major problems with DVDSP (mostly related to either ProKit 6 or any of the 10.6.x updates)
After a clean install of 10.6.3 (and staying out of ProKit 6) my system now works fine.
I do have the 10.6.3 retail disc, as well as 10.6 retail disc (that does not work as install disc for my iMac).
But - iPhoto is missing. And for the moment I can't get hold of my original install discs for my iMac.
Is there any way of installing iPhoto anyway? I'd like to backup photos and movies on my iPhone.
My iMac identifies itself as an iMac 11,1 with SMC version 1.54f36
Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you don't have the install disk then you're only option is to purchase it. The iLife apps are not pat of the OS so they are not on the 10.6 disks, only on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac.
Purchasing options are an iLife disk or upgrade 10.6 to a point where you can use the App Store.
Is there any way of installing iPhoto anyway? I'd like to backup photos and movies on my iPhone.
You don't need iPhoto for that. Check out Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)

You can open the contents packages of said DVDs and find the settings by hand.
Also, they might be installed somewhere else. Did you look in both your main Library and your User Library Suuport folders?

Reinstalling PSE12 after clean install of windows 8.1

I already purchased PSE12 from this site and installed it on this PC, but I just found out that I need to reinstall windows 8.1 (to switch from 32 bit to 64 bit). Will I be able to use the same license on the computer after I reinstall, or will I need to buy a new copy of PSE?

Use Help> Sign Out before reinstalling Windows. This will deactivate the software. Be sure you're connected to the Internet when you do this.
Cheers,
Neale

Hi Ryan!
Welcome to the forum. Please post a picture of device manager. That will give a much better idea of what's missing.
It is always best to install drivers in the following order. Chipset, Audio, Video, Ethernet, Energy Management and then the rest.

Re: Satellite P305-S8820 - FN key not working after clean install of Windows 7

I have a problem with a Satellite A210-103. After installation of Toshiba Value Added Package (Flash Cards Support Utility not available for A210), reboot, restarting Toshiba Flash Cards and pressing the FN key several times the problem still exists.
It must have other reasons why so many user have problems with the FN keys.
