T420s not getting Windows 7 Aero effect with newest 8.15.10.2769 Intel HD Graphics driver

Updated with the lenovo update tool to the newes Graphics driver.
Now i do not see the Aero effect in Windows 7.
My Machine: 4170CTO with Intel Graphics
When running the Win7 Aero effect troubleshooting tool it says that the "color depth is set too low".
When trying to open up the Intel graphics panel it will not show the GUI.
Opening the Lenovo ThinkVantage tool it will not show on the screen as well.
And the PC is slower.
I am happy to roll back to a previous driver version, however do not know how to get access to one.
Thanks, R.

Hey Robohofo,
I'm glad you were able to fix your computer, though its never fun to have to do a Clean wipe to get an issue fixed. Though I know this is late maybe if you come across this issue again one other thing you could do is Un-install the driver and then Re-install it.
Best Regards,
Hiro

Workshop Studio License-'Could not get Windows HostID' on Win 2003 ServerEE

BEA Workshop Studio license manager fails if "Active Directory" is enabled on Windows Server 2003 EE.
Error message:
-"License failed. Message: Could not get Windows Host ID."
Workaround:
- Quit Workshop/Eclipse
- Disable Active Directory
- re-launch Workshop Studio and click on "Help -> Workshop License" to activate the license. The license will be activated.
- Enable Active Directory

Did anyone ever detail this step "Disable Active Directory"? I've been looking up on Google and so far, all I've found is disabling replication.
Anyone?

A warm welcome to Apple discussions!
A 2003 iMac cannot support Snow Leopard 10.6; you'd need an Intel processor and that cannot be retrofitted to your Mac. What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say for your processor speed? What does it say about how much RAM you have?
If the processor is 1ghz or faster, you can run OS 10.5; otherwise, you are maxed out at 10.4.11.
Also, are you running any commercial ("pay for") anti-virus or security software? They are notorious for slowing most Macs to a fraction of their speed potential.
A too-full hard drive can drag down performance, especially if you don't have a lot of physical RAM installed. If you single-click your hard drive icon and then do command i, you'll see the disk usage. Looks like this:
The value for "Used" should be no more than about 90 percent of "Capacity." In the example image, that drive has about 34 percent of its space used and 66 percent free--more than enough. Please post what you see for your Capacity and Used numbers
There are a few more things we might check but this is a good start.
Awaiting your information,
Allan

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Intel 3000 Graphics driver from windows update failing to install. Error 800F0244

Hi all, So an update has come through windows update for my embedded graphics which is an Intel HD 3000. Problem is the update keeps failing. Tried restarting and nothing changed. I ended up jumping on to the Windows Forums and seems like this problem has just started to pop up for quite alot of users and no solution yet. This is what the windows website says for the Error : SPAPI_E_SIGNATURE_OSATTRIBUTE_MISMATCH0x800F0244 The software was tested for compliance with Windows Logo requirements on a different version of Windows, and may not be compatible with this version. So was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if anyone found a solution?

Hi Everyone , So after a few minutes of digging around this is what I found. This is the driver version that is failing for intel HD 3000. ( 9.17.10.4229 ) So I thought I'd check the driver on the Intel site, to see if it was the latest, which it was .. (9.17.10.4229) And this is the driver currently installed for my HD 3000... and as noted its ( 9.17.10.4229 ) SO its seems this problm is a windows update issue and the most current driver is available through intels website. No need to stress, jump onto the intel downloads page and download the latest one if you havent already, This is a link to the 32Bit Driver https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24970/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-8-1-32bit Heres the link for the 64Bit https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24971/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-64-bit As for the windows update one, hide that update as clearly something isnt right and surely MS will patch it soon enough! Hoped this helped

Windows Aero Effects

Hi everyone :)
My problem is that the Aero effects are not working. Currently, windows is running Windows 7 basic theme. The problem occurred on 9th of January 2015 when I was downloading a file and several problems happened (the file wouldn't download, the laptop became
slower), i figured it might have been a virus so i ran an antivirus and system cleaner but still that didn't solve the problem. My laptop is running Windows 7 Ultimate and is up for the minimum system requirements and the Aero effects were working perfectly
fine before.
I tried many solutions but none of them worked, including :-
1- Trying to restart Desktop Window Manager which didn't change a thing.
2- Tried running the troubleshooting wizard which pointed out the problem (Desktop Window Manager is disabled) but was useless when it came to actually solve the problem.
3- System restore which restored my laptop's settings to 9th Jan 2015 (and that was the furthest thing it could return to) but the problem was still there.
4- I tried updating my Intel graphic driver.
5- I tried many other solutions which were presented on this thread: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/a5ec19b3-4cea-43ab-8ca8-509ef60578b4/windows-aero-no-longer-worksfixed
I ran out of options and i'm considering doing a format but i'm not sure if this is gonna fix the problem or not. Are there other solutions I can try? Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance :)

Hi,
Based on my research, this problem can also relate with these Windows componments and settings below:
1. Register the following dll files
            Regsvr32 udwm.dll
            Regsvr32 milcore.dll
2. Group Policy, make sure following policy was disabled or unconfigured
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Desktop WindowManager\ "Do not allow desktop composition"
3. Check the following registry keys:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition                   set to 1
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\CompositionPolicy           set to 2
4. Download and Install latest Java Runtime Environment from
http://www.java.com/en/
If problem persists, maybe we have to make system restore to revert your system to a former normal time point to fix this problem.

Can not get CF7 to Communicate with DB2 v9.1

Installed on a windows server I have DB2 UDB Enterprise
edition 9.01, all the fix packs are current.
I also loaded ColdFusion MX7.02 Enterprise edition on the
same server. I had to download the latest JDBC Drivers from Adobe.
I let db2 create the DSN connections in the file system panel
one Local connection and one TCP/IP both connections passed the
connection test. Db2 also passed the connections test. I tested
each connection separately deleting one before creating the other.
When I get to coldfusions connection data sources panel and
create either connection I get a “ time out” message
from the server when I test the connection.
This morning I installed IIS on the server and now I am
getting a new message below.
I do know that the connections are set up right and the
authorities are correct. If I change any of the parameter either in
db2 or coldfusion it knows that they are incorrect (i.e. password,
user id, db name, server etc.)
I set up oracle and ASP in about 3 hours. Its been 3 weeks
since we purchased Coldfusion and I still can not get Coldfusion
and DB2 working together
Any help would be greatly appreciated

How do I "get Windows" to install with Boot Camp

I never, ever thought I would have to utilize Windows ever again, but the real estate industry is so outrageously hostile to the Mac platform, most or all of the industry software and websites ONLY run with IE on Windows. So I'm f'ed. But I don't know much about Windows. What is the latest version? I heard Vista is really crap? Is XP better? My man question though is:
According to the Apple site, all I need to do is "get Windows" and install it through Boot Camp. On the Microsoft site under "Buy", they funnel you straight into buying a whole PC in order to get Windows. I can't find anything about just buying a copy of the OS.
Would appreciate some basic clarification on getting started with this subject...
Thanks!

Hi Christopher,
first for clearance: your signature states a G5 dual 2GHz. Is this still correct ?
Because BootCamp only works on Intel-Macs not on PPC-Macs like yours !!
Bootcamp itself is merely a helper application which sets the Mac up so that Windows can be installed.
For a Windows installation you have to have/buy a Windows XP Home or XP Pro with Service Pack (SP) 2 or 3 or a Windows Vista Home / Business or Ultimate.
These can be found at Amazon or Newegg for example.
You can not use so-called Upgrade-discs and manufacturere-branded OEm-disc (from Dell, Hp or the like).
You can use so-called System-Builder discs.
Personally for your use XP would be my first choice, since Vista is for my a 'Nice Try' but not more.
If you can wait a little bit, the I would propose to get Windows 7 which should be out later this year, since it's the Vista that Vista has never been.
Apart from BootCamp there are Virtualization applications like Parallels, VMWare Fusion and VirtualBox which would better suit your needs, since they allow you to run Windows while still be in OSX, whereas with Bootcamp you have to restart your Mac in order to run Windows.
http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/
http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
http://www.virtualbox.org/
For these you also have to have/buy a Windows license/CD.
Hope this helps.

How can I get a parallax effect with Hub Control or change the background image scroll rate?

Like the title says, I'm trying to get more of a parallax effect with a Hub Control in Windows Phone. In my current hub app, the picture has to be as wide as the entire hub, and it scrolls through the picture quickly. I'd like a way to make the background
image scroll slower than the content on top of is.
I've looked everywhere in the API docs, but I can't find anything saying how to do this. :(

Hi PTK7,
Yes, currently there is no documentation for this effect, however we can manually control the image scroll speed:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10589192/windows-8-gridview-parallax-background-image
Also I found a sample from code center:
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/ParallaxBackground-A-Metro-f929e558, take a look to see if these helps.
