Running Recovery DVD Win8 pro, keyboard doesn't work

hello,
i've got thinkCentre E93 with win 7 pro instaled, and i'm trying to recover win 8, using "recovery Media for Windows 8 products", which was in my computer's box.
After rebooting computer with this DVD:
- it starts to load files,
- Lenovo Recovery and Restore 4.0 starts,
- pops up a window to choise language,
- keyboard and mouse fail, i'm not able to make any move, exept from turning of the computer.
I've tryed wired, and wireless keybords, they work in Win 7, and in BIOS, but not with Recovery media. any clues?
I'don't have .iso of Win 8 prof to install it direcly.

Dear podjaadek
During the popup windows to language selection, disconnect keyboard and mouse and reconnect again. If still does not work, wait for few second or try to connect to other ports.

My MacBook Pro keyboard doesn't work to log in, but lets me type if I'm logged in as a guest. What do I do?

My MacBook Pro keyboard doesn't work to log in, but lets me type if I'm logged in as a guest. What do I do?

OK, some more info.
I have re-installed os/x and applied all of the updates.
I have tried to migrate my existing accounts and the problem consistently manifests as below:
1. In a new user account, I can log in and use the keyboard then logout
2. If I log in to the migrated user account, the non-numeric keys on the keyboard do not work. If I then log out, and try to log in to another account on the same machine, the non-numeric keys continue not to work.
This would seem to suggest that as the profiles being migrated are on a machine with the same version of up to date OS/X, the issue lies with either the Macbook Pro (other people have also had keyboard problems) or with the migration assistant not working properly given that the current profiles work fine on another mac.
Any more ideas anyone?

I recently updated to Leopard, and now DVD Studio Pro 3 doesn't work.

Hey,
So I have a 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 iMac (old skool, yes I know) and I reciently updated from my OS 10.3 to Leopard 10.5.6 (mostly because the internet would no longer work and I had to update or I couldn't get the latest browsers.)
However, I just reciently discovered that while my FCP HD 4.5 has been working like it used to, my DVD SP 3 no longer works. This has been a horrible surprise for me, especially since I need to burn a DVD for a project I'm working on. I've been searching all over the internet and these forums for the solution, but nothing has helped.
Here is the problem: When I open DVD SP 3 and try to save anything, the program crashes and disappears.
Apparently I've been getting an "Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x000000000000070b Crashed Thread: 0" error.
One of the solutions I read to fix this problem was to try deleting my User Prefrences. I did this, restarted, and now when I tried to use the program, I was able to open DVD SP, import an asset, and SAVE! However, once I tried to drag an asset into the menu screen or do anything productive with those assets, I get a new error message that reads "The document “soultrain” could not be saved."
I tried opening an old file from before the upgrade and was able to not only access it, but burn a fully fuctional dvd. This leads me to believe that the program can't be completely incompatible with OS 10.5.6, but whats stopping me from saving?
Another solution I read about here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1113 said that the solution was to upgrade from Pro Application Support 3.1 to Pro Application Support 4.0. It describes almost exactly the problem I'm having, however, PAS 4.0 doesn't seem to be available anywhere on the Apple Support Downloads site. I google searched the patch and was able to find it elsewhere. However when I tried to install it I was now getting a Javascript error that read: "You cannot install Pro Application Support on this volume. There was an error evaluating JavaScript for the package."
After upgrading Java, restarting, and trying again, I still get the same error.
I am at a total loss. I really really need some help with this problem.

I don't know if this helps, but I'm still working on this problem and took a screen shot of my Console Message errors:
What's happening here is opening the program, trying to save and it crashes. Then trying to open the program again and it crashing before it even opens. Finally opening the program a third time and trying to save it using "save as" instead of "save" (which I found one forum recommending) and it crashing again.

Satellite A60: keyboard doesn't work, recovery DVD can't run

Hello,
I have a serious problem with my A60: the keyboard doesn't work any more. I have tried a lot of solutions and the last one, recovery with the Product Recovery DVD-ROM doesn't work, because I can't use the keyboard!!
When the screen with the 3 choices appears, I have no possibility to answer!!
Have somebody an idea???
Thanks a lot for your answer.

They keyboard might not be the problem or it might not be connected properly to the motherboard the best thing to do is take it to a service centre it shouldn't cost you anything, if it is still under warranty...but if it is just the keyboard and your laptop is out of warranty then it should cost you more than 100-200....can't say how much exactly because I have no idea.

Problem with XP Pro sp1 install - keyboard doesn't work - MBP

After using bootcamp to repartition the HD and rebooting with an xp pro sp1 cd, the blue windows installer loads and runs fine up to where you need to press the enter button to install windows or F3 to exit. At this point, the keyboard doesn't work at all and I have to push the power button. I also can not load osx or the osx boot disc, but the xp disc still loads fine. Currently working on slipstreaming a w/ sp2 to see if this will fix the problem. Prior to bootcamp, I upgraded osx and my firmware. Anyone else encounter this?

You need to use SP2. There is a reason it's recommended by Apple. If you have a valid XP install disk you can easily slipstream it with SP2, which is perfectly legal and effective, and is a relatively painless process.

Toshiba - I cannot run Recovery DVDs successfully

I appreciate if somebody can help me to solve my problem as explained below.
My Toshiba laptop L650 developed some problems that is when I decided to resotore to its original form by running Recover DVDs which I created earlier using Toshiba Tempro. Unfortunately, recovery process did not complete and I got error message which says "Boot manager missing", screen became black and I could not start my laptop. Another bad news is that my HDD was formatted and I loose all my data in C&D drives.
Also I would like to know if recovery CD/DVDs do back up of C&D drives data.
How can I run recovery DVDs successfully?

Hi
I dont think that the hacker or the virus is responsible for non CD drive booting. I cant believe it. In my opinion if the drive cannot read the CD so possibly the CD is corrupt or the drive has a malfunction.
However, in my opinion you should be able to enter the BIOS. As mentioned above you can use the ESC and then F1 to enter the Toshiba BIOS. But if there is a Phoenix BIOS preinstalled so you have to use the F2 key. You have to press this buttons immediately after pressing the power button.
On my notebook I can also use the F12 key and the booting menu appears.
Then I can use the arrow buttons to select the booting device.
If you are not able to boot from the recovery CD so try to boot from the original Microsoft Windows CD.
Possibly it helps. Good luck :|

What OS X are you running and do you have USB or Wireless input devices...?
For wireless devices, take a look at > Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
USB keyboards and mice generally don't have connection issues, but they and there cords do occasionally go bad.

Macbook Pro Keyboard isn't working.

When I log on to the PC side of my macbook pro the keyboard doesn't work! The mouse works, it's just the keyboard. The light when I press CapsLock also doesn't light up.
But! When I switch to the mac side, my keyboard works there!
If I plug in a keyboard to the usp port, it works as well. (On the PC side)
I have no idea why all of a sudden it is doing this, it worked fine yesterday. This Macbook pro is brand new, I got it in June. It also has an iskin on the keyboard and nothing has been spilled on the keyboard.

Sad to hear this.
Liquid damage is progressive.
You can take the computer to the nearest Apple store and see what can they do for you.
Best.

I have purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 4 and now my first dvd of the software doesn't work anymore. My computer doesn't want to read it anymore. I want to mention that I also tried on some other computers and still the problems continues. How can I solve this? On the Adobe webpage I can't find anymore the download for Adobe CS4. Thanks.

You can download the software from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html and can serialize it with the serial number you have.

KEYBOARD DOESN'T WORK IN ALL JAVA APPS

I think there are a bug with Java,
but some keys of my French keyboard doesn't work with ALL Java APPS (Solaris Management console...), but work fine with all other apps.
When I use Xsun, there are no problem, all keys work, but with Xorg, some keys doesn't work. (Only in Java Apps).
I had got this bug with Sun Solaris 10 and Sun Solaris 11 (6/05 Express)
This is a very nasty bug, I have got a PS/2 keyboard.
