T510 - Bitlocker missing from Control Panel

I just got my new T510 with Windows 7 Professional 32 bit and I was trying to use Bitlocker to encrypt the hard drive. But Bitlocker is nowhere to be found in Control panel.
Used Search option in Start menu and the only result is refering to manage file encryption certificate.
I looked in BIOS just in case I need to enable TPM chipset - nothing found. All my other DELL laptops in the office have Bitlocker present in Control Panel. Even on my old LENOVO T60P I was able to enable it.
I don't know what's happening here, what I'm missing ?
I cannot belive that the new T510 is missing the feature. Any help apreciated...
Solved!

Correct, BitLocker is only in Win 7 Ultimate (and Enterprise). You can use the Windows Anytime Upgrade feature to upgrade your Pro to Ultimate-->hit windows-key + Pause to bring up the System properties, and there's a link at the bottom left of the window (I'm going by memory here) that allows you to do the anytime upgrade. You don't have to re-install your OS or apps or anything, it happens in-place once you've paid the fee.

3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics. Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one. From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

I can't remove Firefox 8 from control panel?

I update Firefox8 to 9.1, but upon looking in control panel still said I had Firefox 8. Also, I had automatic update enabled and it never updated, so I therefore put it to manual. I was having Java issues that weren't resolved with Firefox and have decided to uninstall! I am unable to from control panel or uninstaller? When I click remove it does nothing but go bk to original state like I never clicked remove. All other programs are removable from this feature! I don't understand why I am being refused the option to remove, in the meantime I have blocked access. Thank you for any assistance in this matter.

Version 9.1 auto loaded on my computer and I had problems. If 8 is working, don't go to 9.1. I spent hours trying to find an earlier version and the best I could do is find 6.0. I downloaded it and my problems were corrected. I recommend you keep 8.

Windows Update from COntrol Panel does not work??

Hello,
regardless if it is common way to do so or not: Does anyone have experience with the "Windows Update" functions in WE8S?
I tried them upon a customers request, and I've seen that I could not get it to complete successfully when choosing the option in
Control Panel. It either hanged during "Downloading..." or at the "Preparing to install..." screen - I waited for many hours. But when I using the "Windows Update"
app from the start screen, updates were installed without any problems (OK, 1 has failed, but the process has completed). Of course, both methods have different look, maybe it is not the
same...
As per Sean Limings' book it is no good idea to update systems in the field this way - shall I remove the functions from the system? What are you doing?
Thanks,
Willi K.

Maybe it was because of the number of updates (in my case there were 85 updates pending). After I succeeded installing via the "Windows Update" app from "Start Menu", there where two more updates, and update now worked when called from
control panel (at least one of them, KB2973201 still stolidly fails to install).

Uninstalled epson printer from control panel...installed new brother printer....now i cannot print anything .pdf old or newly downloaded

uninstalled epson printer from control panel...installed new brother printer....now i cannot print anything .pdf old or newly downloaded@

For starters, what exactly do you mean by "cannot print"?
Are you getting an error message? Are you trying to print from within Reader or are you opening these in the browser? What version of Reader. Even though it's a new printer, the drivers that came with it (or the ones that were already on your computer) may be old so, have you downloaded the most recent drivers from the Brother site?

Backup from ThinkVantage R&R or from Control Panel Backup?

Should one backup from
ThinkVantage->Rescue and Recovery
or from
Control Panel->Backup and Restore Center
Pluses and minuses for each?
Thanks.

wjli2,
Is there a way to reinstall only R&R from the restore CDs. I am thinking about uninstalling it, since it is worthless in its current state. How long should it take to backup the 64GB SSD to an external USB drive?
Thanks, Faz

Locate MSI from Control Panel

Hi,
I have some old software that I want to move to a new PC. I can not find the original MSI & the vendor no longer supplies the file. If I choose 'Uninstall/Change/Repair' in Control Panel the required MSI pops up. How can I find the location
of this file on the PC, I have tried may searches but can't find it.
Thanks
Paul.
Paul Wainwright

Hi Paul,
You need the complete installation package to install it to new computer. We cannot the it from Control Panel.
Unless you keep the original installation package, you couldn't get it any more.

We try to unistall from control panel or helper folder and nothing happens. What are the next step.

We want to upgrade Mozila to a new version. When we try to upgrade from your web site, nothing happens.
When we follow your recommendation to unistall the program from control panel or helper folder, the folder doesn't open.
we need to force the unistall to upgrade the new version.
Thanks for your advice.

I had the same issue. To resolve it, I:
1. Backed up my bookmarks to my desktop;
2. Deleted the Mozilla Firefox folder (in the C:\Program Files folder).
3. Reinstalled Firefox
4. Uninstalled Firefox (to make sure any registry entries that may have been causing problems were removed)
5. Reinstalled Firefox again
6. Imported bookmarks.
7. OPTIONAL: Reinstall any add-ons I regularly use
I no longer have the problems with slow performance or websites hanging that I had after originally upgrading to Firefox 7.
Obviously if you just want to uninstall, you only need to do steps 2 through 4. I wanted to continue using Firefox and was just trying to resolve the issues I was having browsing the web since upgrading to 7.

Win 7 After uninstalling Firefox from Control Panel, "The action can't be completed because the folder or file in it is open in another program"

Update failed numerous times. Uninstalled FF using Control Panel. Followed instructions to delete the Mozilla folder from AppData/Local/Mozilla. Then the "Folder in Use" prompt comes up and I have to cancel the delete. Folder was created 4/8/2011, but I can't find the folder using the search command. Can't install a fresh install of Firefox 18. Using Windows 7 64-bit. I no longer have FireFox on my system that I can see.

Okay, I drilled down further:
Specifically, the files I cannot delete are:
     A driver with the following location:
          Program Files > Common Files > Apple > Internet Services > ShellStreams.resources > en.lproj >ShellStreamsLocalized.dll
     And a driver with the following location:
           Program Files > Common Files > Apple > Internet Services > ShellStreams64.dll

Hp6500 can't scan from control panel with mavericks

I've not found any guidance that says this should not work when the full HP Inkjet software package is installed. I've located, with some difficulty, the 'full' software distribution at HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.44.dmg. I can find no general directory or listing for this software, I just found it through blind luck. Is there such a listing of the latest full package? I have 10.9.3 on an 8G Ram macbook pro. I have completely removed the driver for my e709a Ethernet attached printer and reinstalled it, and then installed this full distribution as well. When I run HP Utility, the 'all settings' button is greyed out, and I can see no way to enable the scan button on the printer's control panel. Is this supposed to work? if so, how? If not, is it going to be fixed one day by HP, or do I just give this printer away and buy a different one? If so, which HP officejet printers support scanning from the printer control panel? thank you.

Hi,
The drivers above are intended for the HP Officejet 6500A (E710) and not for your printer, therefore it cannot locate it.
Scanning from the front panel is not supported for your printer on Mavericks, scanning can only be done via Apple's software as a full feature software is not available for the operating system.
You may scan using Image Capture or Preview as listed below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03967506&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
Newer models as the HP Officejet 6700, Officejet Pro 8610 as example, as well as any current HP Inkjet printer with a Full Feature Software for Mavericks will allow scannig from the front panel.

I can't uninstall; tried from control panel and from the uninstaller help file.

all explained above. nothing will remove this program from my computer...windows 8.1

Hey bmatthewb
Sorry to hear you are not enjoying firefox as much as we are, and it seems your firefox doesnt want you to part either.
Try deleting it manually:
Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
Windows:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Once done empty recycle bin and see if it is then listed in your programs from the control panel.
Hope this helps and get back to us so it is easier for other users to find the solution if they have the same prob :)

How to get dateformat from Control Panel? Please help

Hi,
I need to get the date format as per displayed in the Control Panel's Regional Options tab.
May i know how to achieve this in java?
Please help.

Thanks for the feedback, actually my code is like this:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = (SimpleDateFormat) SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT);
System.out.println(sdf.toPattern());
If i open up my Control Panel and change the "Standards and Formats" to "English(United States), the "Short date" field is now showing "7/9/2010" which is "M/d/yy". This matches the format obtained using (SimpleDateFormat) SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT). However, it still returns me the format "M/d/yy" after i made the following changes:
1. Click on the "Customize" button to open the "Customize Regional Options" dialog window.
2. Select the "Date" tab, from the "Short Date format" drop-down list, choose "MM/dd/yy"
How can I get the exact date format displayed at Regional Options now, which is "MM/dd/yy"? Please advice.

Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements missing in control panel.

I installed both Photoshop Elements-4 & Premier Elements-4 and used Photoshop Elements-4 for a couple of years. I then upgraded the photo portion by installing Photoshop Elements-6. Three questions:
1. Was Photoshop Elements-4 automatically uninstalled when I installed Photoshop Elements-6?
2. I deleted the Photoshop Elements-4 icon from my desktop. Is this okay to do since I no longer use Photoshop Elements-4?
3. No Photoshop Programs appear in the control panel. (I was looking there to see if both Versions 4 and 6 were listed.) Where are these located? How do I place the program back on the list? Do I need to?

1. Was Photoshop Elements-4 automatically uninstalled when I installed Photoshop Elements-6?
No. Installing a new version of PSE doesn't interfere with an old one.
2. I deleted the Photoshop Elements-4 icon from my desktop. Is this okay to do since I no longer use Photoshop Elements-4?
Yes.
3. No Photoshop Programs appear in the control panel. (I was looking there to see if both Versions 4 and 6 were listed.) Where are these located? How do I place the program back on the list? Do I need to?
Do you mean PSE 4 and 6 don't appear in Control Panel > Add Or Remove Programs (XP) or Control Panel > Programs And Features (Vista)? If they don't appear, then part of your Windows registry has likely been corrupted. However, there's no reason to worry about not being able to uninstall PSE 4 unless you really, really need the relatively small amount of disk space (about 400 MB).

I am trying to reinstall iTunes. Followed all instructions but still cannot remove Apple Mobile Device Support from the Control Panel. Help.

If you have a Change option that may lead to Uninstall as one of the choices. See also note 2 of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

Oracle 10g ODBC Driver Missing in Control Panel

I have installed the Oracle 10g Client in a computer running Windows XP but the "Oracle in OraClient10g_client1" ODBC driver in the Drivers tab of the Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Data Sources (ODBC) form is missing. I know the Oracle ODBC driver is currently installed because:
1. I can connect to the database using DSN-less connection. "Driver={Oracle in OraClient10g_client1}; DBQ=[TNSname];UID=[username];PWD=[password]"
2. The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers show an entry for "Oracle in OraClient10g_home1".
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I don't know if you've got an answer yet or not, but I had the same problem when I installed Oracle 10 client. There is a similar issue on the Oracle forum (Re: ODBC Driver Install Problem. Basically, what was happening is a line had been entered in the ODBC Drivers file that contains "@=". Anything following that line is NOT displayed in the ODBC Admin list.
To fix this problem, open Regedit and export the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers" key to a file. Edit the file to remove the line "@=" and save the file. Delete the registry key, and merge in your updated file.
