T500 mute button and OSD not working

Hi. I'm having a problem after upgrading my t500 to windows 7 ultimate 64bit.
The volume buttons work fine (even without the hotkey software installed), but the mute button and the on screen display doen't work.
While I can live without the OSD, the lack of a mute button is really bothering me.
I have the power manager installed as well as the hotkey software. not sure if this has anything to do with it but UltraNav is also installed.
No idea where to go from here so I'd appreciate any help the community can provide.
Solved!

I was having similar problems with some R500's and so I did some research, and came across the following, as mentioned in:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8-and-8-1/ThinkPad-On-Screen-Display-hotkeys-for-older-systems-T...
“To make OSD work, you might need to install Hotkey driver and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package.
To test if this is your issue, run C:\DRIVERS\HOTKEY\OSD\tposdsvc.exe and see if it complains that msvcr100.dll is missing. If it does, install Visual C++ and it should work after that.”
What is not said, but what is critical, is that you have to install the 32 bit version of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package, even on a 64 bit version of Windows 7 Professional.
You then have to reboot the computer after the install for the change to take effect.

  • Hi. The buttons and wheel of my iPod 4th generation do not work. The hold button resets the iPod, and the shuffle shake works. The music plays by shuffling but I can't access albums etc due to the buttons and wheel not working.

    Hi. The buttons and wheel of my iPod 4th generation do not work. The hold button resets the iPod, and the shuffle shake works. The music plays by shuffling but I can't access albums etc due to the buttons and wheel not working.

    Did you restore from backup?
    Next would be to restore to factory settings/new iPod since maybe you have some corruption in the backup

  • Start Button and notification not working

    Good day
    I have Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview installed on a HP Pavilion dv6.
    I installed “Adobe Dreamweaver CS6” yesterday. I realised that I had the wrong version for the key I have and try to do a Windows System Restore.
    The restore complete after the reboot. Now the Start menu does not open when I click on the start button and the “new notification”, next to the time, does also not respond when I click on it.
    I did roll forward to the original system restore point with Adobe Dreamweaver CS6installed , but I am still seeing the same issues.
    Please advice  

    Another solution which has worked for some users who have also had issue with the Start Menu and Notifications is to re-register AppX with PowerShell using the following command:
    Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

  • Hotkeys and OSD not working T60 2007

    I've rebuilt my T60 after a hard disk failure. Running Windows XP Professional. All drivers have been updated from Lenovo's support site. 
    The OSD does not show volume changes nor the screen brightness although the volume controls work, the screen brightness can be changed using the Fn Home and End keys. The Fn keys do not work apart from Fn F4 sleep, Fn F9 docking release and Fn F12 Hibernate.
    I've searched the knowledgebase and followed some of the suggestions, including editing the registry. I'm very frustrated after spending all morning and a couple of hours this afternoon.  Has a recent solution been found to this problem or is there a way I can download an earlier version of the drivers for the Hotkeys and OSD that will work with my Thinkpad?

    here download this http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mob​iles/8jvu38ww.exe
    that driver should fix it

  • Blackberry Curve 8900 buttons and keypad not working!

    I had it in the bathroom while taking a shower, and I got a few drops of water on it while drying my hair.
    Now it turns on, but won't let me unlock it or press any buttons on the keypad.
    What do I do?!

    Immediately pull the battery and keep it out!
    Place your Curve in a container of UNCOOKED rice.  Leave the lid off.  Leave the Curve alone for five days, yes days. 
    Avoid temptation to pull it out and insert the battery to see if it functions. 
    The rice is a dessicant in that it will absorb moisture.  You want the battery out so as to avoid shorting out the circutry.  That will  surely firy things beyond repair.
    Alternately or following the five days set it on top of a heat emiting source (low temp dry heat) such as a TV cable box.  Or on a interior window sill that gets the sun's rays for a long period (somewhat of a push during the winter)
    On the dashboard of your car on sunny days.
    The idea is to remove the water.  Following the above steps are not guaranteed however they are known to have worked for others.
    If you follow the steps and your device still does not work it is time for a visit to your service provider.  Hopefully you have insurance as it will cover water damage while it is not covered under warranty.

  • Buttons and links not working...

    I made my website on my iMac, put in on a FlashDrive, and when I take it up to my Windows computer, the buttons at the top do not appear and some of the links don't work.
    Also, I used Photoshop to get rid of the white space around a diamond shaped image. When I view it on my PC, it reappears.

    Yeah, it's IE. I'm not at my house right now so I can't check if Java is enabled. I'm pretty sure it is though. I get the yellow bar at the top whenever I open up the page asking if I want to run the ActiveX control. Even with it running it still doesn't work.

  • IPod Touch 5 home button, power button and charging not working!!

    I have an iPod Touch 5 I got last year for Christmas, so it's about an year old. The home button has not been working recently so I tried everything to fix it but nothing worked. We took it to places to get it fixed but it costed a fortune that I would have bought a new iPod Touch instead. I just used the Assistive Touch instead. Then today I was using my iPod Touch and I turned it off. About a minute later I went to get my iPod Touch and used it again and threw it on the bed because that's what I always do and it never breaks. Then a few minutes later, I got my iPod Touch from my bed and I tried to turn it on but it wouldn't budge. Then I remembered it had low battery so it must have shut down because it had no more battery power left. I charged my iPod Touch and tried to turn it on a again but i wouldn't. It would normally turn on and show the Apple Logo and go directly to the lock screen but it just stayed black. I searched up how to fix this but the only way to turn it back on is doing something with the home button but I couldn't since it was broken. I tried to find computer but they were all occupied and the only that wan't occupied was a Chromebook but it my USB couldn't fit in because it was too big. I try to find other ways but there was nothing that could work. I think my iPod Touch isn't charging because whenever I charge my iPod and it has no battery power left, it would usually turn on by itself. I really don't want to go out and fix my iPod at a store because it'll cost a fortune. Please help!! Thank you

    Turn on without Home/Power Button
    You need a computer with iTunes which rules out a Chromebook

  • HT4528 power button and screen not working - is this fixable and where do I go?

    Last night my phone was knocked out of my hand and fell hard on the sidewalk.  It doesn't look broken, I have it encased in an Otterbox but I can no longer see my screen, where do I get it fixed and is it fixable?  Also a couple weeks ago my power button stopped working.  Where do I go to get this fixed or do I have to get a new phone?  I didn't get the insurance as I never had an issue with my phones before this.

  • Replaced screen power button and lcd not working

    I just replaced the lcd/digitizer on my ipod touch 4.  The lcd turns on only if plugged to charge from a dead battery, otherwise, I can't get it to turn on at all.  I can't reset it either, as the power button doesn't work.  More than 1 problem,  I'm sure.Any thoughts?  Itunes doesn't see it either.  I have made sure the connections are good. 

    Very likely you damaged something when replacing the screen.
    - Try taking it a part and verifying that everything is correct.
    - Take it to someone with more experience.

    You dont have any data on your phone yet right?
    If you dont connect your device to the computer and
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least 15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    after that click okay when it says itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. Then click restore
    after that try again

  • I am about to buy and iphone 4, its second hand and is in amazing condition. The only problem is that the 'wi-fi' button doesn't not work. I tried to click on it but nothing responds. Can this be fixed? Should i still purchase it?

    while you are with the person selling it to you, ask if you can do a complete restore of the software settings->general->reset->reset all
    reboot the phone to factory settings and see if that fixes the problem.  if not, i wouldn't buy it unless they are selling it to you for less than $50.  wifi is crucial for keeping data low and using features like facetime
