T61 Keyboard Problems - Vista Ultimate

Hi,
My T61 is perfect in every way except that sometimes my keyboard spazzes in that, for some random reason (I think it's if I am using an application for a long time), the keyboard messes up and then the characters don't type the normal qwerty etc but say hj*);p etc. instead. I can immediately solve this problem temporarily by closing the application and opening up again, but, this is only a temporary solution and the problem still occurs at random intervals. (I got my T61 last year, and it has happend about 5x so far.)
Before, I thought this was just a bug in the application I was using (Google Talk), but then it recently occured in Mozilla Firefox as well, leading me to believe that there is something wrong with my computer as opposed to the applications that I am using.
Is there any way to solve this problem permanently? If there is any additional information needed, feel free to ask. I'd really like to solve this problem once and for all before it becomes a bigger issue.
Thanks,
Amy

I can also get the keyboard in my device browser than it attempts to connect to the computer, but again asks for the passkey. If I don't enter one it gives that the perimeter was wrong, if I enter 0000 or 1234 or any other combination of numbers it tells me this time that the device has indicated that passkey exchange is not allowed.

  • Screen images appear in reverse or as a color negative on T61 Lenovo running Vista Ultimate

    I have a problem with my t61 running Vista Ultimate where all of a sudden my screen images appear like a color negative.  The greens are blue and the reds are yellow and white is black.. and so on.  Has anyone experienced this and found a way to correct the problem? 

    Thanks, I think you're right.
    Any suggestions for a cheap and easy way to calibrate my monitors?

  • Upgrading my T61 to Windows Vista Ultimate

    Hey all,
    I have a T61, [email protected], 3GB RAM, 120GB HD with Windows Vista Home Basic.
    I recently got a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate (from my University) and I was wondering if I could install it...
    Basically, I want to know that:
    1) If I install Windows Vista Ultimate off another DVD, will it wipe out my ThinkVantage integration? i.e. being able to use the ThinkVantage button during boot-up and so on.
    2) I know I can download the ThinkVantage Vista software again from the Lenovo website, but would I lose the ability to factory restore my HD from boot-up if I install Vista Ultimate from my new DVD?
    3) Is Vista Ultimate even worth spending the time and energy on for upgrading?
    Thanks!

    Mostly.  You can restore some of it by downloading ThinkVantage software and the appropriate device drivers etc from the Lenovo support web sit for your ThinkPad model.

    Yes, you will lose it.   There are ways around that, but they require some 3rd party software.
    You can always do a factory restore, if needed, from the DVD set you should have created on recieving a ThinkPad.

    I have installed it on all my Vista capable ThinkPads, in x86 or x64 version depending on the ThinkPad platfrom capabilities, and find it well worthwhile.

  • Vista Ultimate: 64-bit Installation Problem

    Ok so I'm trying to install vista ultimate 64 bit, and when boot camp tells me to insert the disk, I did, then It restarted and when booting, it came to a black screen with white text saying:
    1.
    2.
    *+Select cdrom boot type:+*
    The problem here is that I can't type a darn thing! They keyboard doesn't do anything at all, and not even plugging in a usb keyboard worked.
    For those who will ask, yes, I have a genuine copy of Vista Ultimate 64-bit which includes a 32 bit version, but I'd rather NOT use the 32 bit one, because hey, I've paid for the one with 64 for a reason.
    Does anybody know what to do here? Is there a fix or am I screwed?

  • GX720 problems after upgrading to Vista Ultimate (SOLVED)

    Hello.
    I have just upgraded my GX720 from Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate in order to be able to connect to our domain at work.
    The upgrade went without trouble, but I have run in to a small problem with the touch buttons above the keyboard.
    The media controllers, and on/off buttons for webcam, bluetooth and W-lan works with out problems, but the Eco and Turbo-button stopped working.
    I'm guessing there is some part of the software/drivers from the original installation that went haywire after the upgrade and needs reinstalling, but I have no clue as to what to reinstall.
    Any help would make me very happy 
    As far as system specs I have done no upgrades to bios or firmware since delivery in june but I'm unsure as to the versions running, the only thing I have done is upgrade the drivers to the Wlan as far as I can remember.
    I can also add that I tried to do a EC-reset, and a reinstallation of the SCM with no change. Trying to start the SCM manually with the MGSysCtrl.exe only results in a program crash (The program has stopped working).
    Kind regards
    Mikael

    I would say, remove SCM.
    Reboot
    Goto program-files or whatever the directory is called in Vista, delete the MSI SCM folder
    Reboot
    Run http://www.ccleaner.com/download (beware of the install options or you get a toolbar for free  )
    Run cleaning and registry cleaning (until there are no errors left!)
    Reboot
    Download and reinstall SCM for your machine.
    I hope this works, should be. Else use an older version of SCM, like the one that came with your machine.
    Good luck.

  • Vista ultimate keyboard failure

    Hi,
    I've just powered up my macbook pro today for the first time. Am trying to install Vista Ultimate. The bootcamp process seemed to go ok, until I get to the process where it needs me to enter a username for creation in Vista.
    At this point the internal keyboard/mouse doesnt work.
    This is the latest Vista DVD from Technet, with SP1 on it too.
    I've no external USB keyboard to hand.
    I've seen a lot of posts about XP, but not many about Vista.

    No... you're missing something here...
    The installation hadnt finished... When vista installs, at one point its asking for a username/pass to CREATE the account, so that then you can login to it. Thats where the keyboard/mouse fails.
    I think, that when its booting from CD, the keyboard/mouse is ok for the install process. But on the first boot from the HD as part of the installation, is when it falls over.
    So reverting to non-SP1 vista DVD solved my problem. Interestingly, Windows Update isnt telling me I need to upgrade to SP1.. despite several runs.
    Bootcamp inside Vista installed just fine once Vista was initially there..
    But thanks for the reply.

  • Vista Ultimate SP1 DVD Install Problem

    Just received my new OEM Vista Ultimate SP1 DVD and am trying to set it up under bootcamp. I first partition the hard drive, then when it restarts to install the os, I come across a blank screen that says this"
    1.
    2.
    Select CD-Rom Boot Type
    I can't go any further, as no input is accepted on the keyboard. I can't figure out what to do as i have tried to research the problem, but I have only come across a few unhelpful posts... Please help or let me know if you're experencing the same problem... Thanks!

    You will not be able to boot from the DVD provided by MS (as you already know).
    To get around this, you need to use oscdimg.exe (provided by MS as a part of Windows Automated Installation Kit: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=94BB6E34-D890-4932-81A5 -5B50C657DE08&displaylang=en) to create an iso file and burn that.
    After downloading the AIK, you can extract oscdimg.exe from the iso and put it in a directory that is on your PATH, or just create a new directory for it and run it from there (say, C:\oscdimg).
    Then, one way to do this would be to create a couple of temporary directories (say, C:\vistadvd, C:\vistaiso), copy all of the files off of your DVD into the C:\vistadvd directory, then issue the following command from whatever directory you installed oscdimg.exe into:
    oscdimg.exe -n -m -bC:\vistadvd\boot\etfsboot.com C:\vistadvd C:\vistaiso\vista.iso
    After burning that iso, you should be able to boot with it and do your installation.
    Good luck.

  • T61 with Vista Ultimate WON'T replicate CD/DVD like R61 with XP Professional - - - HOW DO I DO THIS?

    Tried to copy a CD on new T61 with Vista Ultimate preloaded.  Did this with no problems on an R61 with XP Professional.  The HELP files say to copy all data to a directory and then copy them to a blank CD.  This is NOT what I want or need.  It also mentions that OTHER software to do this may be obtainable.  I KNOW that Lenove uses ROXIO in its CMD line interface as a brand new system gave me the BSOD when inserting a video DVD and Windows Media Player coughed and died.  Took about 3 hours to return to factory settings on a machine I had just customized.  Is this another "feature" from Microsoft or what?  Can you load ROXIO or other  software to DUPLICATE CDs and DVDs.  Have the dual layed DVD/CD RW slim ultrabay drive.  Who makes this drive anyway?

    HL = Hitachi LG and Panasonic are the two that i know of.

  • HREF track problem QT7/Vista ultimate

    Hi - Using QT7 + Vista Ultimate + IE7
    Trying to use HREFTracks to get a movie playing in one frame to load html files into another frame.
    I spent hours trying to get this to work under vista, but the target attribute "frame_right" did not cause the page to be loaded in "frame_right" but in a new window. In fact, whatever target attribute was applied to the HREFTrack, it still loaded the file into a new window.
    In desperation, I tried the same thing on a machine running WIN XP Pro + QT7 + IE7 and surprise surprise it works fine.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
    If Not, is apple aware of the problem and likely to do anything about it if it is QT prob? or get microsoft to do something about it if not?
    Thanks in desperation - Hugh

    probelm solved - QT7.2 plug-in doesnt work - QT 7.4 does

  • LR2 (&LR1.4) on Vista Ultimate vs XP Pro-problems

    I have been reading the posts on a number of Sites regarding problems users are experiencing with LR2. Here is may tale:
    I recently bought new hardware(replacing my XP Pro system) with the following features:
    O/S Vista Ultimate
    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6700GHz 2.67 GHz
    Memory 4.00 GB
    System Type 32-bit Operating system
    I have LR 1.4 and LR 2 installed on both the old XP machine and the new Vista one.
    There are two problems(at least for now) I am experiencing with both LR 1.4 and LR 2 on the Vista machine:
    1. Quite frequently when I am working on images LR suddenly goes into "Not Responding" and I have wait up to a minute or more while it sorts itself out.
    2. Speed of operation (esp. sliders). If I am editing an image in Develop Mode when I move any of the sliders (e.g. Exposure etc.) I move the slider and then the # value has to catch up with the slider - very anoying and time consuming. Is this called sticky sliders?
    As I mentioned, neither of these problems are present when I use my old XP Pro machine.
    I should also point out that I have not had the same problems with PS CS3.
    It seems to me that either there is something wrong with the way I have my new machine configured or there is a coding problem in LR that affects its performance when installed on a Vista machine.
    Can anyone shed some light?
    Thanks, Alan

    Turn off superfetch in Vista. It automatically fills your unused ram with stuff you "might" need later. A program like Lightroom uses lots of RAM so Vista constantly refresshes the superfetch use. If you turn it off Lightroom runs much more smoothly.
    You can also turn down the indexing in the power management properties to "power saver". This will limit the amount of times Vista accesses the HDD to index new files. Make sure you have upgraded the indexing engine to v4 as it is much better in managing the resources it needs to perform.
    Disabling Aero helps performance of LR. There's a registry hack that allows you to get a right click context menu to turn it on and off easily.

    Hi Mush25-
    I had to step back from this and take a different approach.
    While tossin' down some aspirins, I worked on my other niece's
    laptop to upgrade to FP10 and troubleshoot. Identical to T2, but
    with more Yahoo stuff: homepage, toolbar, chat, etc.. Turns out she
    had already done it via Adobe yes/no prompt. No issues, everything
    works OK. She said it only took a few minutes. I checked it out and
    checked the settings, it's OK. Go figure.....
    So, I will approach this as a problem with Manual
    Downloading, which you and I did (not sure about Morac).
    The HP desktop? We don't normally use IE7 on it, as it is AOL
    Dial-up only, so few/no cookie issues on IE7. I kicked in IE7 and
    FP10 worked OK. Well, as OK as dial-up video can be....
    OK- a question for ya, this will tell me if I'm on the right
    track: On your first FP10 upgrade, did you FIRST uninstall FP9, or
    download/install OVER FP9? Please answer honestly....no judgements
    here...
    I didn't uninstall first- I admit it! I never do for Adobe
    and Java, as I want to make sure the new version/upgrade works OK
    before losing the old. I was on the old dial-up for too long, I
    guess. There are exceptions, of course, like AVG.
    Let me know.

  • QuickVPN from Vista Ultimate to WRVS440N (vpnserver.conf problem?)

    Hi: I just installed a wrvs440n at home. Works great and I can remotely administer it no problem. I'm trying to set it up so I can VPN into my home network when I'm remote with my laptop running Vista Ultimate. I try to connect with the QuickVPN client. The WRVS440N is running latest firmware from linksys website (as of 12/28/07) and I have the latest QuickVPN client installed (1260).
    It seems to work but after it goes through to the point of "Veryfying Network" it just hangs for awhile. Then it kicks up a message saying, "The remote gateway is not responding. Do you want to wait?"
    The only clue I have is in the status.conf file located in the QuickVPN client program folder. It says, "All 1 wget requests did not return a valid vpnserver.conf".
    There are several files in the QuickVPN client folder that get written during an attempted VPN connection. I copied them to the following link along with the LOG file from my WRVS440N router.
    http://webpages.charter.net/rwpatterson357/temp/a/
    What can the problem be?
    best regards,
    russ
    p.s.  I tested it with the QuickVPN client from an XP Pro machine running SP2.  Same exact result.
    Message Edited by rwpatterson357 on 12-29-2007 01:27 PM

    Where do I get different versions of QuickVPN?  I'm running the latest version from Linksys website.
    All firewalls are disabled including everything I could think of disableing on the wvrs440n.
    After an unsuccesful attempt at connecting i do not have a good network connection.  Even after a reboot I don't.  I have to disable the computers network adapter, reboot, and then re-enable the network adapter.  I don't know what it is doing but Quick VPN seems to torpedo my system.  Same result on both my Vista Ulmitate laptop and XP Pro SP2 laptop.
    Is there a better router/VPN solution out there?  I really don't want to mess with this for 3-4 days just hoping to make it work.  I need something that will function and do so reliably and without requiring me to be a computer engineer.

  • T500 + Vista Ultimate Audio (Headphones) problem

    My new T500 running windows vista ultimate seems to be having some audio issues. The inbuilt speakers work fine and I hear everything well. However, if i plus any external speaker or headphones to the computer's headphones jack, there is no effect. The sound still comes from the inbuilt speakers instead if the headphones.
    I tried uninstalling the audio driver but it does not solve the problem. When I look into the device manager, it reports that the audio device is working properly.  I still tried to install the driver but the driver installation fails.
    any ideas or suggestions?

    Too bad Apple can't write software to run on Windows.
    iTunes is s h i t.
    I guess they don't care about Vista uesers
