T43 Accessing the IBM Help button, or any of the help material

I'm new, so please excuse my noviceness. I bought a refurbished T43, wanting to get into the ThinkPad. I went to a green refurbisher and all was well. However......
It has XP. When I try to access the blue help button, or any of the instructional material, nothing happens.  (I understand there is no user manual, so it important for a newbie). I presume the refurbisher  just wiped the system clean, and only installed XP and a couple of other things.
How can I get this instructional material back and working.
Once again, thanks, and sorry for the lame knowledge on my part.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

dstortz, welcome to the forum,
you can visit this site to find all the necessary drivers / tools for your T43. You will need the Access Help users online guide and almost certainly the HotKey Utility, please ensure you download and install the versions for your system type.
Another method would be to see if System Update can find them for you. MS .NET Framework 2.0 will be required for this, instructions are posted on the site.
Hope this helps

  • I'm trying to add my Linux netbook to my sync account but both my windows computers will not show the "Add Device" button in any of the sync management screens

    I'm trying a new Linux build on a net book that I use for playing with non windows OS. In the process of setting up the fresh OS install I wanted in get my Firefox account set up to that I didn't have to spend lots of time working on that one thing. I'm no stranger to the browser sync and have attached several of my computers and tablets with a number of different OS to the account with little trouble including the Firefox of the previous Linux build that was on the net book. The problem now is that on both of my to main computers, a windows 7 desktop and a windows 8.1 tablet, both running the latest Firefox, I am unable to find the "add device" button in any of the sync management screens. This includes the browsers built in options screen as well as the Firefox manage account page. The first gives me options for disconnecting the account, going to the manage screen, several check boxes for what can be synced, and the device name. The manage screen, after logging in, only give me options for signing out, changing password, and deleting the account. Any help figuring out why the add device button seem to be missing from both these devices would be greatly appreciated.

    Please check your Firefox Installation's version. (can be found by clicking the main menu, either clicking or hovering over the help button, and then clicking about firefox in the sub menu). depending on how long ago you set up sync you may still be using the older sync version. firefox 29 introduced a new (and might i add far less tedious) sync version. see [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync|this Mozilla support article]] for information on upgrading your sync to the new version.

    That'd be associated with trying to connect to the server(s) for one of the Adobe online subscription services.
    (Edit PDF or PDF Pack)
    These online services are separate and independent of the desktop application Acrobat.
    It appears that you have had / are having internet connection issues.

  • HT201272 I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device.  The iCloud download button is not there.  Help?

    I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device.  The iCloud download button is not there.  Help?

    I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
    And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
    And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

    First you can try to force reboot your phone.  To do this:
    1. Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button simultaneously.
    2. Let go when the Apple logo appears and the iPhone is booting up.
    If that doesn't work, you might need to hook the phone up to your computer and do a full restore through iTunes.

  • Aperture freezes every time I push the auto exposure button. Any suggestions?

    Aperture freezes every time I push the auto exposure button. Any suggestions?

    What is your Aperture version? And since when are you haveíng this problem? Did this start, after you imported  photos or updated software? Did you move your Aperture library or your original image files? Did Aperture crash?
    Does it only happen when you are working in your main Aperture library, or also when you are using a different Aperture library?
    As a test, create a new Aperture library and and try to adjust an image there. Does it work?

    he's saying that you should bring it in to the apple store for repair
    and if you live far away from an apple store you should most likely  bring it in to where you bought it
    because it's a hardware defect which no software fix would solve

    Hold the home button and the Sleep/Wake button ignoring the slide to power off message until the phone turns off then you can repower it by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button for a few seconds until the apple logo appears.

  • Download updates for the lion and I read the writing could not save any of the selected updates. Why?

    why after Download updates for the lion 10.7 and I read the writing could not save any of the selected updates and I can't upgrade the software ?

    The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
    Power down.  Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore. 
    No trouble at all once I did this.
    Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
    Hope it helps.

  • Dragging with the Middle mouse button down should move the viewport.

    Just like it says in the title: I believe that dragging with the Middle mouse button down should move the viewport, just like using the hand tool. Would be very handy for people still using a mouse. This can be hacked together using SetPoint (or similar software), but it doesn't work perfectly. Photoshop should've had it for a very long time, as the middle mouse button could be used to move around documents in other applications (web browsers, word processors, other graphics programs) for years.

    I've never had that happen with Firefox 4 on WinXP. I haven't updated my Netbook that runs Ubuntu to Firefox 4 yet.
    1. Try disabling the Java Console 6.0.24 and the Java Quick Starter 1.0 extensions and see if that solves your middle-click problem.
    2. Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • How do I add multiple songs to an existing playlist from the (no longer called) Library? Highlighting multiple songs and clicking the "Add to" button will only add the with the little arrow, not all the highlighted ones!

    How do I add multiple songs to an existing playlist from the (no longer called) Library? Highlighting multiple songs and clicking the "Add to" button will only add the one with the little arrow, not all the highlighted ones! I am using the "new" iTunes.

    For the moment there isn't a way for us end-users to control what is "matched" or "uploaded." That is purely a result of Apple's server-side algorithms.
    To re-add multiple songs at once simply highlight all the songs you want to re-add, then right-click (or Control+click) the list and choose "add to iCloud."
