T61: Keyboard Customizer for Windows 7

Hello Everyone,
today I upgraded from Windows XP(32bit) to Windows 7 (64bit). After setting up the operating system I used Lenovo System Update to install all necessary drivers etc. But finally I recognized, that there is no "Keyboard Customizer for Windows 7" on the Lenovo website . In the office I'm using my laptop in an advanced minidock and have an external keyboard (Lenovo Enhanced USB keyboard) for input.
Using the Keyboard Customizer it was possible to emulate the missing Fn-Button on the external keyboard for example using Strg+Alt+Fx. This way it was possible to use all the combinations of Fn+F2 to Fn+F12 with an external keyboard.
What can I do to get this functionality on Windows 7 systems?
There is not installer in the download section for T61 (only Windows XP and Windows Vista). Does anyone know if Lenovo will provide one later on or if the Version for Windows Vista can be used?
Kind Regards
KingTutt
PS: There is also no Presentation Director for Windows 7.

Hello,
Have you tried running the ThinkVantage System Update program to update any Windows Vista-era ThinkVantage software on your T61 to their applicable Windows 7 counterparts?

Apple keyboard driver for Windows XP without running Bootcamp constantly

I just reinstalled Bootcamp/WindowsXP and wanted to know if there was a way I can get a driver for JUST the keyboard working. I don't use any of the MBP F key functions like backlighting and volume so don't like having the bootcamp processes always running, especially because I hate the backlight on keyboards that you can't fully turn off without a slightly annoying thing each startup. I use an external keyboard which has all the extra F key functions, but again never use them. I just need a way that I can keep functionality of the F keys without running Bootcamp proccesses in the background and the <Use F1,F2, F3, keys as normal function"
TL;DR
Apple keyboard driver for WindowsXP so I can properly use F# keys w/out

From what I know, the BootCamp Driver installer program install all the Windows required drivers and it does not offer any customization options of which drivers the user wants to install on their Windows partition.
Now you can recover normal F-key functionality by doing the following:
Go to the Bootcamp Control Panel in the desktop task bar.
Click Allow if the Windows asks permission.
The Bootcamp Control Panel will open.
Look in the tabs at the top of the Windows and click the "Keyboard" header.
There you should see an option that says "Use F/Keys..." or something similar. There you will be able to use the keys normally as in a Windows PC.
Hope this helps!

MacBook Pro keyboard drivers for Windows 7 guest under Snow Leopard

I am running Snow Leopard along with Vmware Fusion 3.1. MY guest machine is 64bit Windows 7 (I have tried 32 bit but have the same problem)I am unable to change the keyboard in Windows to anything other than 'Standard PS2' so the key mapping is hopeless. I have installed the bootcamp keyboard drivers but can't find them on the system anywhere. All I really want is a .inf file for Windows 7!!!
Any suggestions gratefully received!!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The Snow Leopard disc that came with the computer has got Boot Camp 3 drivers, and the latest drivers for your Mid 2009 MacBook Pro are Boot Camp 4. As you are using OS X Lion, you can download them from Boot Camp Assistant or from the Support page > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630

Any apps to enable more color customization for Windows 7 interface?

Windows 7's default UI customization feature set is lacking and incomplete. Any apps that can solve this?
Personally, I would be interested in an app for Windows 7 that will allow changing the "glow" color around the text of windows' titles. Because I use a dark theme and the current unchangeable white glow clashes with my dark theme. I would like
to be able to set that glow to black and my windows’ title text to white.
Additionally, there is a permanent light blue tinting on a lot of the Windows 7 UI. I would prefer to set that to gray so it can fit universally with any color theme. Or better, be able to adjust the color of the tinting.
And then there is the green progress bar--I personally would prefer to be able to set that to a blue. Or better, be able to set that to any color.

Hi,
To set the color of Windows Title bar, please go to Windows Color and Appearance to check the result.
Right click desktop -> Personalization -> Windows Color -> in the item list, choose
Active Title Bar -> change its color 1 and 2
To change the color of the tinting, please refer to the following steps.
1. Make sure your computer's brightness is on full.
2. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Display.
3. On the left bar, click Calibrate Color.
4. Follow on the on screen instructions to correct your gamma.
5. After you're done with this, on the next screen click "Skip brightness and contrast adjustment"
6. Click next, then you'll l be on the color balance adjustment screen, which is where you will correct the blue tint.
The slider on the right where the color blue is located, slide the slider to the left 3 notches. Adjust as needed based on your screen.
7. On the next page you'll have the ability to switch between what you had it on previously and what you set it to.
To set the green progress bar to blue, please see if the following article is helpful.

Where in the keyboard customization for MAXIMIZE = the accent key (to make panel full screen)?

I wish I had 5.5 so I could search to find this keyboard shortcut. It should be set as default, but it isn't working.

Thanks I found it!
But now I am wondering if I am doing this correct... When you change or add the KC (keyboard customization), if you just hit ok, it doesn't seem to save it.
Do I SAVE AS? If I keep going in and tweeking it,I notice it always brings up [custom] vs. the one I saved: MB. Do I need to save as and over ride it each change? Does it always bring up custom? Can I set it to bring up MB? Thanks

Sun Keyboard Drivers for Window XP

Hi,
Windows decided today i can't use my ps/2 keyboard.
My dad pulled out an old sun USB keyboard he had lying around.
I was wondering if their were any drivers that would get the
function buttons to work
On the bottom it says "Type 6 USB".
if you can direct me to a good keymapper that will detect
them that will be ok too.
Thanks... =)

I doubt that a new keymap is all that is required to use the special keys of the Sun Keyboard with Window XP.
I did a quick search with google ("Sun keyboard" +Windows) and got a bunch of links that may help.
http://ezhid.sourceforge.net/sunkbd.html
The following page contains the keycodes (for X-Windows) for these special keys.

If you just want an inexpensive keyboard for your PC, buy a new one.

Final Cut Pro 7 keyboard shortcuts for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 for Windows

Attached is the file that contains the Final Cut Pro 7 keyboard shortcut set for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 for Windows.
This file was mistakenly left out of the Premiere Pro CS5 installer, so people who tried to switch to this keyboard shortcut set were unable to do so.
Unzip the file and then install the .kys file by copying it here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\Keyboard Shortcuts\en_US
(where C:\ may be replaced by the a different volume if you installed somewhere other than the C drive, and en_US may be replaced by another locale ID)
This file was included in the Premiere Pro CS5.5 installer, so manually installing this file is only necessary for Premiere Pro CS5.
For information about keyboard shortcuts, including how to customize them, see this page:
"Keyboard shortcuts"

By the way, Mac users don't need to update this file, it's for Windows users only.

Where can I find a list of the keyboard shortcuts for editing a Wiki page, on Windows and Mac?

I tried searching in Help, but I haven't been able to find anything. I'd like to get a list of the keyboard shortcuts that work while editing a wiki page in the Mac Server Wiki running on Lion.
When accessing Lion Server Wiki from a Mac, some of the usual suspects work: cmd+B for bold, cmd+} to indent, etc. When accessing the Lion Server Wiki from Windows, though, I can't find an equivalent keyboard shortcut for the indent / unindent. Where can I find a list of all of them?
Thanks!

Search for a driver: Ricoh Multi Card Reader for Windows 8 - for my T61 (6463) -

Hi!
I`m searching for a Windows 8-Driver for my T61 (6463).
I have a Ricoh Multi Card Reader inside and I can`t find a driver for this one.
Can anybody help me?
Thank you,
Heiko
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
Try downloading the following driver:
Name: Ricoh Multi Card Reader Driver for Windows Vista, XP
Version: 3.54.02
Date: 06 Mar 2008
URL: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-68053
The drivers will extract to a directory named "C:\DRIVERS\WIN\4IN1\", if I recall correctly. Once extracted, run Device Manager (filename: DEVMGMT.MSC), go to the entry where the unrecognized card reader is located, and perform an update, using the "Have Disk" option and pointing it to the directory in which the drivers were extracted.
I do not recall if a reboot is required, but in any case I would recommend doing one, at which point you should then be able to see the card reader from Windows 8.

In Safari is there a Keyboard shortcut for Merge All Windows?

Majority of sites sill open new pages in new windows, not new tabs. So, I keep using the Merge All Windows feature all the time. Please, provide a keyboard shortcut for this!

Although there is no default keyboard shortcut for the menu item in question, there is nothing preventing you from creating your own.
Under System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, press the "+" sign. From the Application drop-down menu, choose Safari. In the Menu Title field enter "Merge All Windows" -- without the quotes. In the Keyboard Shortcut field, enter your desired key combo and then click the Add button.
You'll need to quit System Preferences and restart Safari for the change to take effect. Good luck.

Find Japanese PS/2 keyboard (106/109 Key) driver for Windows 7

Dear all,
I have an old Dynabook Satellite laptop from Japan with Japanese keyboard.
When I reinstall OS using Windows 7 64bit English version, then the keyboard is recognized as "Standard PS/2 Keyboard" while the real layout is Japanese PS/2 keyboard (106/109 Key).
I did work around to get correct driver for my keyboard but fail:
- Some instructions say to change driver in Device Manager... but here I cannot find the "Japanese PS/2 keyboard (106/109 key)" (there is "Japanese USB keyboard (106/109 key)" instead)
( http://www.shaneycrawford.com/2012/08/japanese-keyboard-doesnt-work-on-english-windows-7-laptop/ )
- Some instructions say to find driver on Toshiba website, but there is no KEYBOARD driver there
(http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp )
Also I cannot find my Laptop model there.
(Printed in back side of Laptop: Model name : Dynabook Satellite L Series; Model no: PSSD2N-01900N )
Please help me to find keyboard driver for my laptop.
Thank you,

>When I reinstall OS using Windows 7 64bit English version, then the keyboard is recognized as "Standard PS/2 Keyboard" while the real layout is Japanese PS/2 keyboard (106/109 Key).
Keyboard uses standard Microsoft driver so installation of some language specific keyboard is not necessary. So, the entry in device manager is correct.
If you use OS English version by default keyboard input language will be English. I have satellite A300 with Hungarian keyboard but use English Win7 and there is no problem at all. Keyboard layout is a bit different but single key definition is the same as on English keyboard.
What I dont understand is follow:
If you use English OS version is keyboard input language set to English?
What happen when you type in some document?
Do you want to change keyboard with English layout?
At the end I must say that I dont have experience with notebooks designed for Japan but I cannot imagine it works completely different as notebooks designed for European market.

Another customization:
To give your logon screen corporate design or individual style you can follow these steps:
In registry editor navigate to the key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background".
Create a new DWORD value OEMBackground and assign value 1. (Value 0 resets to the original logon screen.)
In C:\Windows\system32\oobe\info create the folder backgrounds, if it does not exist.
Put your custom picture into this folder under the name backgroundDefault.jpg.
Attention: maximum supported file size is 256 KByte, so shrink them with a tool like Irfanview or Image Resizer Powertoy Clone.
If you want to use different pictures for different screen resolutions, you can do so by naming them backgroundXXXXxYYYY.jpg, i.e. background1920x1200.jpg for the resolution 1920 x 1200. If the resolution does not match any of the given file names, Windows
will fall back to backgroundDefault.jpg.
Best greetings from Germany
