The keyboard functions work but fails to display in Windows 7

I have the recent 15 inch, i7 Macbook Pro (2.2 GHz version). I had no problem installing Windows 7 using Bootcamp and have updated the Bootcamp after the installation via Apple Update.
To clarify, what I mean by that is all the functions such as volume control, eject, and brightness control from the keyboard works. However, at the beginning of the bootcamp install, I was able to see the icons pop up on the display. Now, there are no icons anymore. I now have Windows 7 Professional SP1, and have my suspicion on the Windows update. Any ideas?

Well...  this is what I found out and what I did to "fix" my problem.  First my situation was that I had 2 drives, a lite-on blu-ray rom drive that was supposed to basically read anything, and a pioneer blu-ray burner.  I was going to use the rom drive to do my reading and reserve the burner for just that, burning.  What I found out, because Encore would freeze when loading, was that Adobe uses a Roxio routine to go out and get the information about all the drive in the environment to know how to use said drive(s) for this session.  The Roxio routines hang in an endless loop, for me, on the rom drive.  When I go into device manager and disable the rom drive, Encore loads just fine and I can master... whatever, and burn or create ISO images and go on my merry way.  When done, I can re-enable the drive and use it as intended except for trying to use it in Encore.
This happens in CS3, CS4, CS5, and I think I tried it in CS5.5.  Roxio never has "fixed" the problem.
My fix to fix the problem.. I replaced the blu-ray rom drive with another pioneer burner.  Turns out the new drive was a newer version.  So I moved the older version pioneer to the lower drive letter and use it as the reader drive for anything and setup the newer pioneer drive as my burner drive.  Encore loads with both drives enabled, I can master anything, and eveything works fine.  I've given up trying to have a rom drive for "just reading".
Also, given up testing to see if Roxio has ever "fixed" thier init routines for Encore.  It always works this way with 2 burners on my system.  One I use as a "reader" all the time which is also my backup burner and one as my "production" burner. And BTW, I usually build on ISO image with Encore and use Image Burn to burn my multiple copies output.
This is my "fix"!!

    Thanks for the quick advice!
    Unfortunately, I am still unable to open my core productivity apps, namely Skype and Evernote. Twitter, as well, could not start. But interesting quick fix though, I never knew you could do that.
    Here's the error log after the restart:

  • How do you make the 'places' function work in iphoto

    `i have just imported a lot of old photos from my 2007 macbook onto a new macbook pro with ilife 09. `i am trying to make the places function work but can't get it to work. The 'i' icon does not appear in the bottom right hand corner of the events main photo as it's supposed too. Any suggestions?

    Simply open an event; select 1 or more photos and select the i in the lower right corner of a photo thumbnail. You will get the Geocoding window. Start typing the address/place/country in the location area. For detailed addresses you select new place. You can resize the window. Maps from google appears and you select the place it finds. You can even drag the pin to a specific area. Press ok and your done.

  • Hi! i recently got a macbook pro 15" retina display, and i tried to play assassin's creed 2 and other games on it, but the thing is, the keyboard keys will not respond except the trackpad, and the keyboard keys work fine outside of gaming.

    Hi! so like i said in the title, i tried to play any game like assassin's creed and minecraft, but the keyboard wont respond but the trackpad does, also i tried restarting reinstalling checking if mouse key is on or off and all that, and it still wont fix this problem.  Outside of gaming though, the keyboard works with no problem. Please help me!

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

    Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty.  And it seems there is much accidental damage.  Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
    Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
    There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs.

  • My apple wireless keyboard got wet a year ago i sprayed the cleaning spray on it some of the keys are working but some of the keys aren"t working. it got sprayed a year ago What should i do??? Can it be recovered plz tell?

    I sprayed it a year ago i really like the keyboard and i really need it can it be recovered??? My apple wireless keyboard got wet a year ago i sprayed the cleaning spray on it some of the keys are working but some of the keys aren"t working. it got sprayed a year ago What should i do??? Can it be recovered plz tell?

    There is almost no chance it can be recovered, except at a cost far greater than a new keyboard.  Once wet, spraying with a cleaner will not do any good and most likely will make the situation worse.
    Best thing at this point is go to your Apple store, or the on-line store, and buy a new keyboard.  Water damage is not covered by the warranty or AppleCare.

  • I am running Mac OS X Lion on a brand new Mini.  Every now and then, my keyboard goes "dead."  The mouse still works but can't type.  If I restart, everything is fine again.  Is there anything that will fix this problem?

    I am running Mac OS X Lion on a brand new Mini.  Every now and then, my keyboard goes "dead."  The mouse still works but I can't type.  If I restart, everything is fine again.  Is there anything that will fix this problem?
    Also, I am trying to connect my Mini from the mini-Displayport to the Displayport of my Dell U2410 monitor.  The image is very grainy,even though it is set to the correct resolution: 1920 X 1200 at 60Hz.  If I use HDMI to VGA input, the image is much clearer.  Is there a way to get the Displayport to work?

    I'm having exactly the same keyboard issue.  Certainly nothing has ever enhanced my concentration while coding like suddenly becoming unable to type.
    I'm seeing a great many devicemgr and rake errors in my system log.  I don't know if they're related.  How 'bout you?
    If you're unfamiliar with the system log…
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
    If necessary, choose View > Show Log List.
    system.log is at the top of the FILES section.
    Try searching it for hot words like DEBUG, FATAL, and aborted.
    I've found some discussions that would tend to indicate my errors are postGres related – I'm running OS X server.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Likey a bad digitizer

    System Preferences->BlueTooth and turn it off. Restart and see if that fixes the problem.

  • Firefox "loads" but fails to display.

    After updating Firefox, the browser loads (it shows up as running in Task Manager) but fails to display on screen. In other words, it is completely unusable. I've uninstalled & reinstalled the program, without favorable results.

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Does the bluetooth function work with the scanner function on my Photosmart C5550?

    I have a new Dell computer and an HP Photosmart C5550.  I use bluetooth to connect to the print. The printer function works correctly but the computer does not recognize the scanner function. Does the scanner function work with bluetooth?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Sorry. I hit post before I could elaborate. Not sure what I was thinking. The Bluetooth connection will only support printing. To use the scan feature you will need to connect the printer using a USB or network connection. Hope that explains it a bit better.

  • Why can't I get the average function work with empty cells?

    Why can't I get the average function work with empty cells?

    The thing that I am having a problem with is that I made a different form that calculates the average no matter how may of the cells have numbers or not and I didn't use an if function.  I have tried with this other form and and it calulates as if all the cells where being used.  I am using the [*] in both instances but it only works in the one I did earlier.

  • How does the Delta functionality works while updating Infocube from PA

    Hi Gurus
    How does the Delta functionality works when you send forecast to the Info cube from the Planning Area.
    As I have weekly based planning, every week we have to update the forecast into the Cube. If I update  every week into the Cube , then the values are going to append  in the Info cube.
    Shall I create ODS in between the Planning area  and the Info cube .
    (or)
    Any other method ?
    Please Suggest.

    Hi Preetham,
    Data Extraction from planning area to infocube usually its supports for full update only, when u r going to load the data from planning area to cube ,it deletes the previous data and u vil get the fresh data, this is the best method performance wise,
    if u want to use the delta functionality u can go for planning area to Dso, Dso to cube, it vil supports the delta functionality, but it vil degrades the system performance,
    regards
