Thinkpad G40 keyboard problems after updating from W98 to W7

Hi community users.
I'm new here with a, for me, typical problem.
I’m having a problem with my Laptop keyboard IBM ThinkPad G40, type: 23884SG, Windows 7.
Since I updated from Windows 98 to Windows 7 the keyboard definition is wrong. I’m not able to find the right configuration of it on base of the standard list of country and language definitions in W7.
Who can help me with this.
I already installed some drivers from the Lenova site but nothing seems to help.
So the problem is that I can’t find the right service from the country and language menu to the keyboard in W7.
All suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Dirk

Hi Vince,
Thanks for your response to my problem.
Problem isn't the choice of the specific language. The problem after the update is that I'm not able to choose the right combination of language and the type of keyboard selection in Windows 7. The selection list is long: from South-Africa to Sweden.
Although most of the characters on the keys on the lower part of the keyboard correspond with the ones on the screen but especially the keys on the upper part don't.
So I'm searching to a correct selection of the combination language and specific type of keyboard. Or there must be some driver witch can be download.
Looking forward to the feedback.
Kind regards,
Dirk

Problems after updating from Mavericks to Yosemite.

Hello everyone.I have noticed some battery problems after updating from Mavericks to Yosemite like no charging at all (but the orange led was on )and not able to fully charged.I solve them with SMC reset and PRAM reset.Furthermore, battery discharges faster than before and its really annoying.Now I have notice that the upper right corner of my mac is getting hot.I'll appreciate any help
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Performance problems after Update from 7.6.00.37 to 7.6.03.15

Hi,
after the Update from 7.6.00.37 to 7.6.03.15 in our live system we noticed a lot of performance problems. We have tested the new version before on our test system, but there don't noticed effects like this.
We have 2 identical systems (Opteron 64 bit, openSuse 10.2) with log shipping between them. We updated first the standby system, switched from online to standby (with copy of cold log) and started the new server as online system. After that we run a complete backup (runtime: 1 hour) for starting a new backup history and for activating autolog. Then
With the update we changed USE_OPEN_DIRECT to YES, but the performance of the system was very slow afterwards. After the backup it remains at a high load average (> 10, previous system had about 2-4), with nearly 100% of CPU usage for the db kernel process.
Next day we switched USE_OPEN_DIRECT back to NO. The system first runs better, but periodically rises up to a load average of 6 and slow down the performance of various applications (somebody says about 10 times slower). Here we also noticed a high usage (now 200-300%) of the db kernel process.
Our questions are:
1. Has something basically changed from 7.6.00.37 to 7.6.03.15, so that our various applications (JDBC, ODBC and Perl/SQLDBC partially on old linux systems with drivers from 7.5.00.23) don't reach same performance as before?
2. Are there any other (new) parameters, which can help? Maybe reducing MAXCPU from 4 to 3 for reserving capacities for the system (there is only one maxdb instance running)?
3. Is the a possibility to switch back to 7.6.00.37 (only for worst case)?
I have made some first steps with x_cons, but don't see any anomalies on the first look.
Regards,
Thomas

Hmm... that is really odd. When using USE_OPEN_DIRECT there is actually less work to do for he operating system.

Well of course there are bugs that have been found inbetween the release of both versions, but I am not aware of something like the performance killer.
We will have to check this in detail here.

Well - then I guess 'looking at the system' won't bring you far...

Great - let's see the warnings you get.
Let us also see the DB Parameters you set.

With the old version we had no problems with missing indexes or the general performance. Unfortunatly it is very difficult to extract some sql statements out of the JBoss applications. But even simple queries (without any join) runs slower, when the load average rises over 4-5.
Hmm... the question here is still, if the execution plans are good enough to meet your expectations.
E.g. for tables that you access via the primary key it actually doesn't matter how many rows a table has (not for MaxDB at least).

Sounds like the I/O is your most suspect aspect for overall system performance...

Ok - so this is next to no testing at all when it comes to performance.
> An UPDATE STATISTICS over all db users seems to change nothing. At the moment the system remains markedly slow and we are searching for reasons and solutions. Another attempt will be the change of MAXCPU from 4 to 3.
Why do you want to do that? Have you observed any threads that don't get a CPU because all 4 cores are used by the MaxDB kernel?

Serious performance problems after updating from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7

I've got a Macbook Pro C2D 15" (late 2006). After updating the system from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 and quicktime to 7.6.2, I experience serious performance problems which I have never seen before:
-From time to time, kernel_task has peaks in activity monitor (consumes a lot of CPU). In that moment, the mouse hangs for a short moment and audio playback is distorted/has drop outs.
-Recording audio consumes a lot of CPU (independent of the audio application).
-Video playback consumes a lot of CPU, regardless if I use VLC or the quicktime player.
Any idea what could be done? Thanks in advance.

After a few days of using CoolBook I report that my 1st generation MacBook Air is now reliable and never overheating, regardless of environment conditions.
I must point out that I do believe that it really is something new in 10.5.7 that is causing this problem as my environmental conditions have not changed and even Summer in Dublin still sees temperatures no more than 72F/22C. I am now in Madrid, where the environment is quite different, and I am still having no problem with kernel_task spinning.
I plan on reporting my problem to Apple anyway and being aggressive about the issue as MacLovinRanga did in this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9647353#9647353). Perhaps many/all of those of us having this problem will obtain new MacBook Airs.

Mouse and keyboard problem after updating to Mountain Lion

Hi!
This is the strangest problem I got on a Mac for 20 years...
I work on a Macpro 3,1. I upgraded my 10.7.5 os to 10.8.5 (needed it to use GTX 680 card).
The upgrade went fine and then... The mouse and the keyboard don't react.
After resetting the SMC they began to react but the mouse is deadly erratic and the keyboard repeats few time each key (impossible to write), for instance I hit n and got nnnnnn.
Resetting PRam does not help. Redoing the os update did not help.
This is really bad cause I can't use my Mac at all right now. I think I'll do a Fresh lion install and move my data back to it before I find something for that Mountain.
Its a real pain, does someone have an idea?
Thank you,
Milosz

Hi!
For those interested, I found the solution reading others forums.
Here it is:
I had to remove my optional old apple airport card (atheros a/b/g) and everything works fine now.
Hopefully I don't wifi on that Mac, otherwise I would need to buy another one. Which one? I don't know.
Too bad Mountain Lion isn't supporting anymore that apple card…
Have a nice day

Problems after updating from 2.0.5 to 2.08

Hi Community,
I updated my Developer Studio from 2.05 to 2.08 but I got some problems now. The Behaviour of my WD Application written on 2.0.5 changed.
I got a View which contains a tree control. For this tree control I implemented the method onActionSelect.
public void onActionSelect(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent, com.sap.tut.wd.tree.wdp.IPrivateTreeView.ITreeNodeElement selectedElement )
//@@begin onActionSelect(ServerEvent)
if( selectedElement == null)
wdContext.currentContextElement().setLabelname("Element = null");
//wdThis.wdFirePlugToDispatcherView(selectedElement);
//@@end
If I check the parameter selectedElement now for null, I get true. That means this structure isn't filled out automatically anymore.
Do s.b. know something about API changes or how to fix this problem? Regards and thank's a lot, Robert.

Hi Robert,
Errors occur if there are inconsistencies between the Engine (e.g. Support Package 5) and the Developer Studio (e.g. Support Package 6).
Other "Class not found exceptions" or "No such method exceptions" may appear in the case of other Support Packages. Unfortunately, this results in a termination of the application at runtime.
You must ensure that the local version of the Netweaver Developer Studio has the same version level as the CBS
configuration.
In particular, the IDE plug-ins must not have a higher version than the generators of the CBS. Possible is a lower version of the IDE.
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Karin

Mobile App problem after update from Flex SDK 4.5 to 4.5.1

I have a mobile app that built in SDK 4.5 and running ok until update the SDK to 4.5.1 and then the app only loads the splash page and not even to to the firstview. The screen just stop at the splash page and no reaction, no debug window popup (test on the computer). If I change back to SDK 4.5, everything goes normal. Does anyone has the same issue? Please help.
I am in Win 7, Flash Builder SDK 4.5.1 plugin in Eclipse Helios.
Thanks.
Tony

Thanks for your respond. I wish I could show you my app; however this project is pretty big. Besides the UI part that was built for mobile, there are also part of the codes are including (referenceing) the old desktop project that still are complie in SDK 4.1. Mainly for the referencing codes to the old project are Caingorm's commands and service locators part, for getting the service call. Everything is fine and running on computer and mobile devices when using SDK 4.5.
I can try to build something to see if it will show the same situation. Thanks.

So, your crash seems to be related to Bit Defender antivirus software or one if its components (BdProvider.dll). I did a google search and according to [http://systemexplorer.net/filereviews.php?fid=11324853 this page], the file BdProvider.dll is the Bitdefender parental provider plugin.
If Firefox no longer crashes when you [[Safe Mode|restart with add-ons disabled]], look in the Firefox Add-ons Extensions list for any BitDefender add-on and disable it (see [[Disable or remove add-ons]] for details), then restart Firefox to see if the crashes stop.
You could also contact BitDefender support or ask for help on the [http://forum.bitdefender.com BitDefender forums].

White screen problem after updating to 1.1 firmware

My 2G iPod Nano worked fine with 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 firmware but after updating to 1.1 I get white screen everytime I turn it on after longer period of time. Turning the iPod off and then right back on makes it work again. I have done restore 3 times without effect. I even removed the firmware files so that iTunes downloads them again when doing the restore but that didn't work either.
Should I return it or wait for new firmware? Has anyone else had this problem after updating to 1.1?

Disconnect iPod and close iTunes.
Firmware files are in "Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates" folder.
You should still have the 1.0.2 files named "iPod_19.1.0.2.ipsw" and "iPod_19.1.0.2.ipsw.signature" in there if have you upgraded from 1.0.1 version.
Remove 1.1 files from the folder so that only those to files are in there.
Disconnect from network (I switched off my wlan) so that iTunes can't download the new version. Connect your iPod and do Restore, iTunes will now use the old firmware files because it can't connect to the internet.

System has slowed down considerably after updates from Apple. Is SyncServer the culprit?

I use MacBook with preinstalled OS Leopard since April 2009. I have also regulalry updated my computer system using the Software Update application. However, since my last update on 12th Aug 2011, I have noticed that my system has slowed down. There is long pause between every character I type, delay in switching applications, battery dries out quicker, slow response to every command.
I have started facing this problem after updating following software like iTunes 10.4, Safari 5.0.6, Migration Assistant Update for MAC OS Leopard & Quick Time 7.7 from Software Updater. Although, my OS is still leopard.
I noticed on the Activity Monitor that syncserver is using majority of my RAM and reappers even if I stop the process. Some of its subprocess like AddressBookSync also appears and consumes lot of memory. Is this the problem? Though, I never noticed earlier what size it consumed.
I use Microsoft Office suite for Mac and have also checked and deselected all sync services. Yet, the Process (PID 305) continues to appear in Activity Monitor.
I am no techie, and would appreciate quick help to resolve this issue.
Thanks!

I was just about to write the same problem, but I don't have VMware; my laptop is late 2008 was running Snow Leopard (uptodate version).
I've scientific softwares so probably would require a clean re-installation of ML. I MUST MENTION HERE that those software which were written for PPC will NOT work on ML. Just found out that one of my important softwares version won't work on ML; need $500 to upgrade that software .
Therefore, I'd also want to know how can I go back to SL.
I'll let you know how clean re-installation has worked.

Photoshop CS2 problems after updating to 10.4.5.?

Anybody notice Photoshop CS problems after updating to 10.4.5.?

Hello I had the same problem
I found the following information that helped me.....
Program errors occur when software conflicts arise due to an updated operating system. You can resolve these errors when you also update the driver software that causes the conflict or when you update the operating system. Program errors can also occur because of a damaged Photoshop preference file, or if there is a problem with a phone or internet connection. The Apple Disk Utility fixes file system errors that can also cause program errors.
Error "Could not complete your request..." or "Could not create a new document..." (Photoshop CS2 on Mac OS X v10.4)
Issue
Adobe Photoshop CS2 returns one of the following error messages:
"Could not complete your request because of a program error" when you try to open a file.
"Could not create a new document because of a program error" when you try to create a new file.
Solution 1:
Install the most recent update to Mac OS.
Solution 2:
Re-create your preferences files.
1. Hold CommandOptionShift when you start Photoshop.
2. Click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Solution 3:
Disconnect your Internet connection.
To disconnect your Internet connection, do one of the following:
If you are connected to the Internet via a telephone modem, then disconnect from the modem.
If you are connected to the Internet via cable modem or DSL, then disconnect the ethernet cable from your computer.
Solution 4:
Use a disk repair utility.
Restart your Mac in Single User mode and run fsck -fy . For more information about the fsck command, please visit the Apple website at http:/docs.info.apple.comarticle.html?artnum=106214 .
Solution 5:
Ensure that all your drivers are compatible with Mac OS X v10.4.
Determine if your printer and video card (and any other peripherals you might have) are compatible with Mac OS X v10.4, and visit the manufacturers' websites to update the drivers.
Solution 6:
Re-create your printers in Mac OS X.
To re-create your printers, first delete them and then add them again.
To delete your printers:
1. Open System Preferences from the Apple menu.
2. Select Print & Fax, and click Printing.
3. Select each printer in the list and click the delete key (the minus key).
For instructions on how to add your printers again, see "Setting up to print to a printer" in Mac Help or search Help using the phrase "add a printer."
The one that fixed it for me was solution 6 -- re-creating my printers
I don't know why but it could be worth a try
Good luck

After updating from ios 7.1.2 to 8.1.2, iphone got stuck syncing with itunes!

After updating from ios 7.1.2 to 8.1.2, iphone got stuck syncing with itunes!
I searched for some solutions on the internet and applied following fixes:
1- Disconnected iphone from PC and closed itunes.
2- Reset the iphone by holding down the On/Off button.
3- Connected iphone back to PC to sync with itunes.
Apparently this fixed the problem, and iphone synced with itunes.

same here, but now you can't downgrade to iOS 7.x, since apple has closed the verification server for that version.
