Thinkvantage Productivity Center - Changing Display Settings

I have a T61 and everytime I attempt to change the display settings the window opens and says the settings were captured then closes.  This happens so fast I cannot click on the setting I want.  Any help would be appreciated.

Your friend is correct.
"Choose Presentation or Display Screen" (also known as "Choose Display Scheme menu") is supposed to appear.
I don't konw why it does not work in your case, however.

  • ThinkVantage Productivity Center - Display menu

    Hi, I have a thinkpad T500 and have recently noticed that the ThinkVantage Productivity
    Center's display menu doesn't seem to work in that when pressed nothing happens and
    a sub-application is not involved as one would expect.
    In detail,
    - start-up the ThinkVantage Productivity Center (or press the blue button)
    - select the 'Device Configuration' item in the "Resouce Center"
    - select the 'Select display settings'
    and wham nothing happens.  So my question is the following, what _is_ supposed to
    happen and which ThinkVantage application am I missing to remedy this issue.  A friend
    had told me, over the phone, that I'm supposed to see screen/LCD settings along with
    on-screen-display options, etc.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • ThinkVantage Productivity Center will not open - T61, Windows XP

    I cannot get the ThinkVantage Productivity Center to open; specifically Rescue and Recovery.
    It has worked in the past and I have no idea what changed. Windows updates are automatically installed onto my computer. It appears that the relevant proceses are running (rrservice.exe and rrpservice.exe).
    Is anyone aware of what could be causing this issue?

    I have the same problem like you, the Productivity Center does not work and the Rescue and Recovery User interface does not appear while I check in Task Manager, it is running, but for a while, it disapears too. I don't know why, the Rescue and Recovery User Interface have worked before and now it has error. Is there anyone face with this problem, please help me fix this. Thanks.

  • Permanent Crash related to changing display settings while FCP is open.

    Recently, the display settings (arrangement) on my two monitors started changing by itself while I was working in FCP 6.5. I'm using ancient monitors (Viewsonic MB90 and Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 920. I just don't have the money to upgrade right now). Tis was annoying but I dealt with the problem by creating two different windows layouts. Then things got worse (the only thing I had done was install 8 gigs of additional memory on top of the original 2). FCP started crashing and now I can't even open the application. It doesn't react.
    Apple recently posted a not very informative acknowledgement of the problem with changing display settings while FCP is open, but it doesn't suggest solutions to my problem. It would be helpful to know a) what resolution and refresh rates are best for these old monitors and b)how to open FCP again. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    THIS IS IT!
    Disabling the nVidia deep colors for 3d applications solved the uber-annoying "flicker-screen-settings-and-disrupt/crash-other-programs" issue. I specifically only disabled deep colors for Premiere, not for all 3d applications I use, because none of them have caused the same problem as Premiere.
    This display-screen setting issue probably occurred because I use a Dell u3011 monitor which displays Adobe RGB color gamut, not just sRGB.
    However, now this brings up another question with disabling deep colors (effectively disabling the Adobe RGB use of the Dell monitor):
    QUESTION: If I have CG-rendered frames that seem to be created in sRGB and Adobe RGB (in two different programs), what color space should I be mixing/editing them in?
    I'm somewhat of a novice with the color spectrum/gamut issue. From what I understand, if I edit both CG images in sRGB, I'll be losing color data from the Adobe RGB-created CG image. If I edit both CG images in Adobe RGB, will I create minor banding effects on the sRGB image because it doesn't have the color range that I'm editing in? Perhaps my question is more relevant to AfterEffects compositing of the images rather than simply/only editing them in Premiere.
    The end result is something like an architectural film/ flythrough.
    Thanks,

    Additional you can try the following (if Ron_9972 is finished with his steps):
    Deactivate anti virus program (select "activate manual", if possible)
    Start - Programs - Accessory -System programs - Systemrecovery (i hope it is right translated from german)
    Select "restore a restorepoint" and select the last date, where it worked.

  • ThinkVantage Productivity Center T42 vs.X40

    On my X40, the ThinkVantage Productivity Center allows you to update all Thinkpad software automatically.  This option is not available on the T42.  Does anyone have an idea of why?  This is a very usefull function as it allows you to be sure that you have the latest version of all available software for your computer

  • Thinkvantage Productivity Center not working! 8^(

    The Thinkvantage Productivity Center software on my T61 model 7658 CTO starts and then locks up.  So I cannot control the wireless.
    This all started after I updated the Lenovo software.  It was caused by a Lenovo update.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    If it cannot be fixed is their a way to disable it and return control of the wireless connections to Windows XP?
    Thanks for your help.
    Solved!

    Hi gardinerr,
    I guess you are missing several other drivers since you mentioned that the buttons are "inactive".
    You can download the ThinkVantage products from this link.
    Either that or you can just download the ThinkVantage System Update via the link above then let the software auto detect what other missing drivers which you might have missed out on your T60p.

  • Monitor says VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED after changing display settings

    HELP! I am about to have a nervous breakdown with my mac mini! I hooked up the mac to my Philips LCD via DVI. No problem at all. But because the screen is only 15" I wanted to play around with the display settings a bit. So I changed the resolution from it's original 1204x768 to the one higher (not sure of numbers) and to my HORROR, I now can't get any picture at all - it says "VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED". I have tried everything I can think of. I have rest the P-RAM, I have unplugged all cables, plugged the back in again, I bought the mac into work and hooked it up to my monitor and changed the resolution back to 1024x768 which is what it was on originally and that STILL didn't work. I can see the Apple logo and then it goes black and comes up with the error message. HELP! What am I doing wrong - I can't believe one click of a mouse button has rendered my display useless!!!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try booting the mini without the display connected, and then, once the system is running, connect the display. This will often force the system to default to a low resolution, and then correctly detect the display when it is connected.
    If that doesn't help, with the display connected, boot into safe mode (hold the shift key down when starting up) and once the system is running, change the resolution to 1024x768, and ensure the correct refresh rate is selected. Rebooting normally ought then to give you a good display.
    If all else fails, boot into safe mode with the display connected, and then in the Finder's file menu, use the 'find' option to search for 'windowserver' (no quotes). You should get 2 or 3 results, including one with a string of alphanumeric characters. Move all of them to the trash and restart normally.

  • Change display settings to show mac on tv

    I bought the cables in order for me to hook my macbook pro up to my plasma tv through and hdmi cord and converter.  The first few times I hooked it up I was able to drag the screen over to the tv and it worked perfect, now it is not working and I'm not sure why.  I have tried adjusting the display settings to see if that was the case, but it doesn't make a difference. If anyone has any suggestions it'd be appreciated!

    It's not there. In Mountain Lion, the Displays options have changed somewhat:
    It only shows the external display option when a display is detected.

  • Need to change Display settings, either resolution or color

    HI
    Due to a faulty graphics driver I need to be able to change my display settings dynamically.
    I know that I should use DLL calls to user32.dll, and I know that I should use the EnumDisplaySetting and ChangeDisplaySettings. But No matter what I try my LV 6.02 crashes.
    I can not use G-Tool as I'm not allowed to buy it. and the shareware version dosn't include this functionality.
    I have found the following links to be helpfull (but not enough):

    Can anyone please give me a hint. I suspect this is due to a bad choice

    I took a crack at making the code work from LabVIEW and failed. The devmode struct is way too complicated! I believe you would be best off writing code in VB or C that can change the resolutions then call that code from LabVIEW. You might even find example code to do this on the web.

  • Keyboard or terminal commands to change display settings?

    I have a circa 2007 Macbook Pro with a nearly dead display.  The top two thirds of it is dead.  I think it's running Snow Leopard.  When I attach a RGB external display it shows the background and I can drag windows to it, but I cannot seem to move the System Preferences window to a place where I can access the Dislays control panel.  Does anyone know of a way to change the display settings so that the main desktop is mirrored on both displays or how I can grab the System Prefs window and drag it to the other display?

    Try the keyboard combo: CMD + F1 (or OPT +CMD + F1) to toggle mirroring. 

  • MBP 15" retina screen is fuzzy, changing display settings does not improve, help!

    My 2013 late model MBP 15" retina screen is not displaying sharply, even with I select "best resolution for Retina display."   Or when I change the settings to "scaled" and select "more space"....the text and fonts get smaller but still not "sharp". (my screen looks like an old MBP screen from 5 years ago).
    How can I fix this and make it a true Retina sharpness on my screen?

    Hello BocaJulz,
    You may need to enable “Use LCD font smoothing when available,” in System Preferences -> General.

  • Add "Switch Graphics" to Thinkvantage Productivity Center?

    I am trying to customize the "Quick Links" in the Productivity Center. I want to add a link to switch the graphics. So I am wondering, what actual function is being performed when swtiching the graphics from the "Power Manager" battery meter icon. (i.e. right-click on battery meter>switchable graphics>[energy saving OR high performance]. What I'm asking is if there is an ".exe" that gets executed or a certain kind of command line entry.
    Basically I'm looking for a way to use an EXE to switch the graphics so I can add it to the Productivity Center as a Quick Link. If it can be done in the command line then it can be programmed as a ".bat" and complied as a ".exe" and that would be a solution. 
    Any ideas would be helpful, thanks.

    I have the same problem like you, the Productivity Center does not work and the Rescue and Recovery User interface does not appear while I check in Task Manager, it is running, but for a while, it disapears too. I don't know why, the Rescue and Recovery User Interface have worked before and now it has error. Is there anyone face with this problem, please help me fix this. Thanks.
