I have a Pavilion 15 e016tx laptop. i have recently updated my laptop to Windows 8.1. After updating i am not able to find switchable graphics option which was earlier shown on after right clicking on desktop. I tried to search in shearch charm but couldn't find.

A long left click shows the right click menu

When I hold down the left mouse button, the right click menu appears.
I want to turn off this function, but can't remember which extension controls it or whether the function is built in to Firefox.

Hooray!! Found it! Thank you Google.
I found an old - very old - thread on Mozillazine.org:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=340572
And it IS a normal Firefox feature, but is normally OFF.
I think I must have recently turned it on after reading a "Firefox Tips and Tricks" article somewhere.
Anyway, the preference is called "ui.click_hold_context_menus".
And I just remembered that I added it in my "user.js" preferences file, amongst a load of others:
* Disable the Delay When Installing New Extensions
user_pref("security.dialog_enable_delay", 0);
* To turn off the URL greying
user_pref("browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled", false);
* To unhide the "http" portion of a URL
user_pref("browser.urlbar.trimURLs", false);
* Enable spell checker in multi-line text boxes & single-line text boxes
user_pref("layout.spellcheckDefault", 2);
* Double underline style
user_pref("ui.SpellCheckerUnderlineStyle", 4);
* Cycle through open tabs with Ctrl+Tab
user_pref("browser.ctrlTab.previews", false);
* Disable Animations for Full Screen
user_pref("browser.fullscreen.animateUp", 0);
* Click and hold on a hyperlink to show the context menu
user_pref("ui.click_hold_context_menus", true);
* Instant Apply Preferences Without Closing Options Window
user_pref("browser.preferences.instantApply", true);
* Middle-click in any textfield, addressbar or searchbox to paste clipboard
user_pref("middlemouse.paste", true);
So there's a lesson to be learned here: don't add too many tweaks to your Firefox preferences at the same time or you may forget what you did!
Thanks, all. I'll now mark this as "Solved"!

Issue with right-click menu after latest update

After updating Firefox, the right-click menu is showing much more commands than before (Play, Pause, Mute etc. etc.), most of them out of context ("Open Link in New Tab" when there is no link) and none of them working.

Issues with a massive right-click context menu have been reported as caused by Firebug, so make sure to update Firebug to the latest version.

Downloaded brushes not showing on right click drop-down list

I have recently reinstalled Photoshop cs5.1 and ran into a problem. My installed brushes are not showing up on my right click drop-down list. I took the old brushes and copied the folder to the new location. When I go to use these brushes there used to be a big drop down list when I right click anywhere on the canvas. It now only shows the basic brushes, but here is the thing though I can load and see them through the preset manager but they are not on my drop-down list like they were before I reinstalled.
I have noticed something odd as well this may help in the solution I have noticed that some files from Photoshop are saved on to my second hard drive, but I do not know if this is the cause.
The reason I reinstalled is my GPU acceleration wasn't working and had to reinstall to fix this. If any other information is needed I would be glad to share. This is just cutting into my workflow time since I have to load every single brush singlely and if I load them all I have to search through every single brush to find what I need.
Thank you!

I found a solution to my problem it may help others! I run Windows 7 64-bit this has two seperate folders for applications when installed. I did a windows search for one of the names of the available brushes on my right click list. The search showed me where the brushes were at. (Example: I searched in windows: DP Brushes) Aparently photoshop normally installs as a "32-bit" program in this location, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PhotoShop CS5.1\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 (64 Bit)\Presets\Brushes it is here that I copied my new brushes to and it showed up again. Hope this helps anyone who was in my situation!

How can I get the menu bar?pressing Alt button does not show it, right clicking in a space in the tab does not show customize button.

I read the information on the help pages,but I can t get the menu bar to appear using the advice given.

Right click the Home button.

I lose functions from my right click menu after updating to FF 28

After my FF automatically updated to the current version, I lost a lot of the righ-click context menu functionality. I can no longer 'save page as' or 'save image as'.
It also caused my USPS and UPS programs to get stupid, and will no longer print my shipping labels. If I right-click and 'save page as' the cursor changes to the hourglass and sits there. As soon as I move the mouse the icon turns back to a cursor. It normally would have opened an interface to allow me to save to preferred location.
I removed the new one and reloaded FF 25 and it works correctly, but each morning when I boot up the computer it goes and gets me the new updates and screws me up again. Even with the FF option set to "never check for updates"

My iphone 4 after upgrading to ios 7 not showing bluetooth icon on menu after coming out of settings menu

my bluetooth not working

Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works
Cheers !

Right-click menu not showing certain options?

When I highlight text, and right-click, it used to show options such as "Search Google for '(the highlighted text)'", or "Open Link in New Tab" if the text was a URL. Now, it shows none of these options, or copy, paste, cut, delete, select all, and others. I have a picture '''[http://i.imgur.com/q9N00.png here]''' as an example, and this is seriously annoying me, as the searching for highlighted text was one of my most used features. I've used multiple add-ons that edit the right-click menu, but none of them have worked.
Any ideas on how I can get it back to normal? Thanks.

Do I have switchable graphics or not?

My T61P with the NVIDIA graphics died on me Friday. I was "under the gun" and wanted to get back up quickly and decided to replace it with another T series. I scored a "fixer upper" T500 (2422 7VU; xxxxx 09/09) off craigslist. It recognized my T61p Windows 8.1 Pro system disk and booted up straight away. After downloading and installing all the drivers I could find, it's not clear to me whether or not I have "switchable graphics" or not. I have a mini dock and dual monitor set-up. My main Lenovo screen is 1280 x 800 and the only display driver showing is "Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family (WDDM 1.1)" My secondary display is a Samsung SyncMaster EX2220 running at 1920 x 1080. It is connected to the DVI port on the mini dock. I've installed "Switchable Graphics Controller(s)" and the ATI Catalyst Control Center but I don't see an ATI display adapter in Device Manager. If I right click on the Desktop and select "Catalyst Control Center" two processes are started; "ccc.exe" (Catalyst Control Center?) and "MOM.exe" (Monitor?). I also noticed that after these two processes are started, my installed memory drops from 8GB to 7.91GB. I've installed the Thinkvantage Power Monitor but when I select "High Perfomance" in Control Panel Power Options "Apply" is "greyed out" If I try to start any of the programs in the Catalyst Control Program Files folder nothing happens? Do I have an ATI chipset installed or not? If so, how do I make it work?
I haven't cracked it open except to install the memory modules, although I will probably do so soon. The CPU fan assembly has a really annoying rattle. That will certainly tell me more, but maybe someone knows the answer. Compared to my T61p with NVIDIA 570M this system feels a little sluggish and jerky when watching video.
Any insight would be appreciated.

Hi there,
here is a direct link to the Lenovo Drivers & Software download page: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?
You can also access it by clicking "Support Drivers & Downloads" at the top of this page, choose "Think laptops" then "Drivers & Software."
If your type/model # is indeed 2242-7VU then here are your factory specs:
ThinkPad T500 (2242-7VU):
Based on 2242-CTO: P8400(2.26GHz), 2GB RAM, 320GB 5400rpm HD, 15.4in 1280x800 LCD, Intel 4500MHD, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn wireless, Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Fingerprint reader, Camera, 6c Li-Ion, WinXP Pro
As you can see you have Intel graphics only. For example, I have a T500 here which I have upgraded and will be selling soon. It came with the following factory specs:
ThinkPad T500 (2055-2CU):
T9400(2.53GHz), 2GB RAM, 160GB 5400rpm HD, 15.4in 1680x1050 LCD, 256MB ATI Radeon HD3650, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn wireless, Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Fingerprint reader, 6c Li-Ion, WinVista Business 32
I installed the ThinkPad Switchable Graphics Driver for Windows 7 (which is found towards the bottom of the "Display" drivers listed on the Drivers & Downloads page). Then, to switch back and forth between Intel or ATI graphics (which they call "Energy saving" vs. "High Performance", I simply right click the Lenovo Power Manager icon, which I have installed). In your case you only need to install the "Intel GM45 Display Driver" but should first un-install any "ATI" drivers as having the wrong graphics drivers can cause "sluggish" video. Then again, Intel 4500 graphics is not that advanced. I can't advise which video driver to use for Windows 8.1, as I find it a useless burden to mankind , and only use Windows 7 on my systems. However, I'm sure T500 Windows 8 drivers have been discussed many times on this Forum, so just use the "search" function above. Anyways, it sounds like you may have already gotten the correct driver from Windows update.
One more thing: You need to clean/ lubricate/ re-do the thermal paste on that machine if you hear a rattling noise. Else just change out the entire fan/heatsink assembly. It's very easy to do, and T500 fan/heatsinks are available pretty inexpensively. Then, you will find you need not even bother with TPFC.62.
P.S. Don't mind my overly-detailed responses. It's just the teacher in me I'm sure you know most of these things. I always write assuming completely un-initiated laptop owners may read these posts later on and be glad for simple step-by-step instructions.
Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)

Please help! I have photoshop and iphoto does not show it in my preferences edit window. How do I get it as an option in my preferences.

Please help! I have photoshop and iphoto does not show it in my preferences edit window. How do I get it as an option in my preferences.

I tried it and nothing changed. Even when I right click on an indiviual image all it does is duplicate it. Iphoto seems to be recognizing my external hard drive as an editor......cannot get photoshop except to drag a picture into photoshop from iphoto, and once I have worked on it and saved it to iphoto I cant find it anywhere.

Cannot not click on menu that appears when i right click my taskbar, as the right click menu dissapears when i move mouse over to the right click menu

PROBLEM: RIGHT CLICK CONTEXT MENU DISAPPEARS WHEN TRYING TO LEFT CLICK AN OPTION
Hi,
Im using Windows 7, and i could always
go down to my TaskBar and Right Click
Icons, and active icons, which would bring up
the standard Right Click Menu list.
PROBLEM
As soon as i moved my Mouse away from
the bottom Window 7 Task Bar to go a couple
of millimeters above to left click an option on
the Context Menu i opened with my right click,
The whole Menu disappears, and this happens in
Firefox version 29.01, other programs in Firefox,
and other such as Skype.
When i was running Firefox 28
i didn't have this problem, can you help me out.
Thank You
Kev Borg

'''PROBLEM'''
'''RIGHT CLICK MENU DISAPPEARS WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR MOUSE TO LEFT CLICK A MENU OPTION ON THE RIGHT CLICKED MENU.'''
''''''YOU CAN'T BECAUSE AS YOU MOVE YOUR MOUSE TO THE MENU YOU JUST RIGHT CLICKED TO OPEN DISAPPEARS BEFORE YOU GET A CHANCE TO LEFT CLICK YOUR CHOICE.''''''
'''SOLUTION'''
'''1]''' GO TO '''CONTROL PANEL''' AND CLICK TO VIEW MENU
'''2] ''' GO TO "'''EASE OF ACCESS CENTRE'''" AT THE TOP.
'''3]''' LEFT CLICK ON MENU ITEM "'''EASE OF ACCESS CENTRE'''"
'''4]''' AFTER YOU LEFT CLICK ON "'''EASE OF ACCESS CENTER'''" IT APPEARS.
'''5]''' LOOK DOWN THE LIST TILL YOU FIND "'''MAKE THE MOUSE EASIER TO USE'''"
'''5]''' THE TOP SECTION SHOWS YOU HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MOUSE COLOURS ETC.
'''6]''' SCROLL DOWN TILL YOU SEE THIS HEADING "'''MAKE IT EASIER TO MANAGE WINDOWS'''"
'''7]''' RIGHT UNDER THAT MENU THERE IS CHECK BOX,
"'''ACTIVATE A WINDOW BY HOVERING OVER IT WITH YOUR MOUSE"
'''8] MAKE SURE THERE IS NOT A TICK IN THAT OPTION BOX, IF THERE IS UN TICK IT AND APPLY AND CLICK OK TO SAVE.
And now you should have No More Problems with your Right Click Menu disappearing when you move your mouse over to the menu to left click a menu item on that right clicked menu.
SOLUTION FIXES PROBLEM.
Thank You and i hope this answer my help any other people who have had this frustrating problem.
