Type euro sign on Windows 7 64-bit Lenovo X201
Hi,
The subject says it all: how do I type a Euro sign on my Lenovo X201, Windows 7, 64-bit. It is a US keyboard.
I have tried Alt+4, Alt+5, Alt+e, etc, ....
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.
For others with this problem, there are a couple solutions. First you can use the ALT codes, but this requires a separate numeric keypad (not the numbers along the top of a laptop). Instructions for that are here.
With a laptop you need to use one of the alternate methods here.
Or if you are using Firefox or PaleMoon you can use this addon. The last is my favorite because it allows you to use characters from any language, including extended characters, with no need to lookup a code. Here is the Euro € and it took 2 mouse clicks.

Drivers Signing Enforcement (Windows 7 32 Bit)
Hello,
I have read that the "driver signing enforcement" is not configured to block unsigned drivers on most versions of Windows 7 32 bit.
However, when I tested this with a fresh-installed Windows 7 Professional (no hot-fixes, no Service Pack) and tried to install an unsigned driver, the driver was blocked due the fact it is not digitally signed.
I am trying to understand which specific versions of Windows 7 (32 bit) is allowing (by default) to register/load unsigned drivers.
Thanks ahead.
HadarAssuming you are using the dpinst.exe utility (see the DDK7 or WDK8 kit directories), an unsigned driver requires the /LM (i.e. legacy mode) to cause Win 7-32 to (usually) allow the install. If your driver is signed, then all you do is run dpinst (or
dpinst64 for Win 7-64) where the driver package (INF, SYS, other files) are located. dpinst /help lists all the arg options.

Unable to install 2.4Ghz receiver in Windows 7 64 bit (Lenovo E431)
I got a wireless mouse http://www.posturite.co.uk/penguin-mouse.html. It is supposed to use generic windows 2.4 Ghz adapter. However, windows 7 is unable to find any drivers. The screenshot of device manager is appended. I tried various other ways e.g.
take out other USB devices, reboot etc. I tried sfc /scannow . But the error persists. There is no usb.inf file in the C:\Windows
Please advise what can be done.Hi,
Have you tried to update the driver according to below steps:
1. Open Device Manager. In the details pane, in the list of devices, locate the device for which you want to install driver software, and then double-click your device. The device
Properties dialog box opens.
2. In the device Properties dialog box, click the Driver tab, and then click
Update Driver. The Update Driver Software wizard opens. In
How do you want to search for driver software, do one of the following.
If you want to search your local computer and Windows Update for driver software, click
Search automatically for updated driver software.
If you know where your drivers are located on the local computer or your network, click
Browse my computer for driver software. The Browse for driver software on your computer page opens. Click
Browse to find and specify the folder location for the driver software, and then click
Next. The Update Driver Software wizard installs your drivers.
If you run the Update Driver Software wizard and the wizard does not find your drivers, it means that the manufacturer or vendor for your device has not added the drivers for your device to Windows Update.
In addition, I have check the link you provided:
http://www.posturite.co.uk/penguin-mouse.html
There we could see its compatibility is as below:
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS X.
In this case, you must refer to your product documentation or visit the web site of your device manufacturer or vendor to download or request the correct drivers for your device.
Or install on another Windows 7 computer for test.

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.) -
Hello, We have multiple Server 2003 Print server and are working on testing a Server 2012 print server. We have run into an issue where a PRINTER (type 4, normal) works with our Windows 7 32 bit clients, Windows 8.1 64 bit clients and the
2012 R2 server, but when trying to install to a windows 7 64 bit clients using \\SERVER\PRINTER we are getting the above message. (The printer is not offered currently in the directory).
I have been scouring the Google and Bing and have yet to find a satisfactory description that matches this issue. Nor have I found other information that resolve this issue. Like, blaming this on the spooler or DLL fixes or Reg hacks (applied
on the client side).
Specifically, we have used the native 2012 R2 drivers "Ricoh Class Driver", "HP LaserJet 4240 PCL6 Class Driver" and "Xerox Phaser 6120 Class Driver"
If I use a Type 3 driver from Xerox I am able to print from the Windows 7 64 bit client to the print device, but I was hoping to get all of my clients onto 1 driver. I understand that I might be able to use some sort of WMI filtering in our GPO

Windows 7 64-bit 0xC004E003 error when validating registration code
I am the original owner (2010-03-31) of an ASUS K0IJ laptop that came with Windows 7 64-bit pre-installed.
Windows 7 has run properly for almost exactly two years. As of this afternoon, I suddenly began receiving "This copy of Windows is not genuine" errors. Yes, errors — I am the original and legitimate owner of this computer and
its OEM disc. I also ran the registration process when I first purchased the computer.
Running WindowsActivationUpdate.exe did not correct this problem.
In Computer —> Properties —> Windows Activation, the "Supply a Different Activation Key" tool will not accept the original OEM license key that has worked for two years.
If instead I try using the other W7 serial number I have for this computer, I receive the aforementioned 0xC004E003 error. Moreover, the process does not offer me any other working options such as phone registration: I instead get caught in a "site
loop" where I am referred around and around in a circle to the same set of three or so unhelpful pages.
The MGAdiag.exe tool returned the following:

At the risk of stating the obvious, I'm not only frustrated, I'm angry. I am the original owner of this computer which I purchased from a legitimate dealer, and the computer is running the instance of Windows 7 64-bit that came with it.
Why is Microsoft subjecting me to this insult and aggravation?
Sincerely,
sfosparkyAre you reading the activation key correctly? Did you call Microsoft or Asus and ask them about the problem. You can also set the laptop back to factory specs (But will lose everything you put on it after you bought it) and it should self activate. I'd be
on the phone to Asus and if that doesn't help call Microsoft.
Found the following on the internet.
The problem appears to be in the Licensing Store - please try the following.....

Euro sign in Report Query (RTF file)
Hi all,
I configured XML publisher as report server for report queries.
All seems to work well, except printing of euro signs.
When designing a template locally in word, everything works. When the RTF file is uploaded to apex and tested, the euro sign is displayed as a "?".
All charactersets are WE8MSWIN1252 (Database + modplsql), but I'm not able to find any NLS setting in XML publisher.
Anybody have experience with this?
Regards GuidoGuido,
I agree with you that this is a BI Publisher problem. The problem does not only appear with ApEx, for example see
Problem with symbol euro
I guess you are running BI Publisher on a non Windows machine, so you have to register the true type font. To do this, refer to BI Publisher documentation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10091_01/doc/bip.1013/b40017/T421739T481157.htm#4535419
(section External fonts).
I haven't tried myself, but it seems that the only things you have to do is (copied from the docs):
Place the font on the server.
Place the font in a directory accessible to the formatting engine at runtime.
Set the BI Publisher "font" property.
You can set the font property for the report in the BI Publisher Font Mappings page, or in the configuration file.
To set the property in the configuration file:
Update the BI Publisher configuration file "fonts" section with the font name and its location on the server. For example, the new entry for a TrueType font is structured as follows:
<font family="MyFontName" style="normal" weight="normal">
<truetype path="\user\fonts\MyFontName.ttf"/>
</font>Regards

Re: ATI HD 2600 PRO WINDOWS 7 64 BIT BOOTCAMP DRIVER ERROR
Okay - I *think* I was able to get the modified INF to work properly now - it turns out there were many more instances where changes needed to be made that my original procedure did not address. The updated procedure is below with additional steps added.
Procedure to manually update iMac Radeon HD 2600 PRO video card under Windows 7 (64 bit).
Rationale:
> Boot Camp drivers incorrectly identify the video card my 24" iMac (Dual core; 2.8 GHz - graphics card is shown as a "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT") - this has been a long-standing problem when using my iMac under Boot Camp. There have been reports about how to update the drivers manually by obtaining them from ATI/AMD then installing them.
Background:
> When I was previously running Windows XP, I was able to perform the graphics driver update per the online instructions, without any problems.
> When I updated to Windows 7, 64-bit (because I was updated my Mac OS to 10.7 [Lion] and Windows XP was no longer supported in Boot Camp), I could no longer update the graphic card drivers to the Win7 64-bit version (it was giving an error that the driver was not supported).
> The solution I finally came upon was to modify the installer .INF file that comes with the drivers from AMD. I take no credit for this, except from the fact that I adapted a procedure I found for doing this for graphics cards in notebooks. The original place I found this is here <http://forum.notebookreview.com/gaming-software-graphics-cards/370695-guide-upda ting-your-ati-drivers-manually.html>.
NOTE & DISCLAIMER: I don't claim to fully understand every step that is going on here, nor if every step is needed. I based this on the procedure referenced in link immediately above and it seems to be working for me (that is, my graphics card driver was updated for Win7, 64-bit just like had been previously under WinXP) - YMMV.
>> This procedure was done with the AMD Radeon™ Desktop Video Card Drivers for "64 bit Windows Vista/Windows 7 "; Version 11.7, posted 2011-07-27 (main page: http://support.amd.com/US/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx)
1. Driver only was downloaded from AMD.
2. Downloaded file was installed to default location: C:\ATI
3. Gather info about the graphics card:
a. Open the Device Manager (Start>Computer [right-click]>Properties)
b. Expand the "Display Adapters" item to reveal the GPU (mine was listed as "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT")
c. Right-click on the GPU and select "Properties"
d. Click the "Details" tab in the Properties window.
e. Click the drop-down under "Property" (top item should say "Device description) - find the item in the list that says "Hardware Ids"
>> There were four values for my card, shown below:
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_0300
f. Right click on the first value and select "Copy" - paste it into a separate document.
g. Go back and click the drop-down under "Property" - find the item in the list that says "Inf section" (it was far down the list).
h. Copy the value shown there and paste into a separate document; my value read: ati2mtag_M76
4. Modify the INF file from AMD:
a. First thing I did was make a copy of the directory containing the files that were installed in step 2 (located at C:\ATI) - my directory was called "11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd".
b. Go into this path: C:\ATI\Support\11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF
c. Find the INF files (icon is a document with a gear on it), that start with "C7..." and "CH..." (mine were called "C7122569" & "CH122569").
d. Open the "C7..." file (it opens in Notepad).
e. The first thing I did was find and replace all existing instances of "M76" in the INF (I arbitrarily replaced it with the following value "M7a6"). There are a number of existing references to this property type in the original INF.
> I do not know if this is absolutely necessary but I found that it helped me to distinguish what was originally there with what I was modifying.
f. Do a "Find" command for "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" (if you search for a shorter phrase, be aware there are other "2600 PRO" cards in the list).
> The exact line I found was <"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9589>
g. Replace that line with the Inf section value and the first Hardware ID value, using the same format as the original line. The new entry I made read (notice that each successive entry has an addition <space> between the end of 'PRO' and the ending double quote):
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B&REV_00
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_030000
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_0300
h. Next do a find for all instances of "ati2mtag_RV630"; for every instance you will need to replace that value with " ati2mtag_M76".
i. Next do another find for "RV630" and make sure to replace all instances with "M76" (this is to catch the couple of places where it doesn't have the "ati2mtag" prefix)
j. Close the file, saving your changes.
k. Repeat steps 4d - 4i, using the "CH..." file.
> I personally do not think this is needed since I believe the "C7…" INF is for Windows 7 and "CH…" is for Vista, but I modified both anyway.
5. Update the graphics driver using the modified INF files:
a. Go back to the Device Manager and expand the "Display Adapters" item again to show the "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT" GPU
b. Right-click on the GPU and select "Update Driver Software..."
c. In the resulting window, choose "Browse my computer for driver software".
d. I navigated to the "C7..." file along the following path: <C:\ATI\Support\11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF>
e. At this point, I was shown a window that showed "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" twice (that's all that was in the list). I selected the first instance and it moved on.
f. I got a warning that the driver was unsigned, obviously I allowed it to move forward with the installation.
g. The updating proceeded and the screen momentarily went black, twice. After the second time the description in the Device Manager changed to reflect that the GPU was now "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO".
FINAL NOTE: as of right now everything seems to be running properly and I have experienced no problems or graphical glitches. If anyone reading this sees an obvious problem with what I've done, please let me know. I have run benchmarks between this and the standard installed mobility driver and I get about a 10% increase in overall FPS (using the free "NovaBench" app by NovaWave).
< Edited By Host >look what this guy said:
Hi Guys,
I've spent a few hours over the last week trying to find something that works to update the driver. Using the Mobility Modder from Driverheaven I managed to install the Catalyst 7.8 but not the actual driver - you need to modify the INF for this. The only problem is that I can't be sure what the differences are between the mobility 2600 and the standard-computer 2600. I would like to assume it's just a few settings such as power saving and interal/ external displays.
I tried to modify the INF and used the settings for the standard graphics card. It worked fine, but I put the original Apple driver back on because I didn't want to find out I was overclocking the Graphics CPU accidentally.
After using mobility modder I added this line just after the mobility 2300 graphics card entry:
"ATI MOBILITY RADEON X2600 XT " = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN1002&DEV9583
If you notice and compare the mobility and standard entries, the mobilities have the same ati2mtag but followed by M-something rather than RV-something.
This appears to direct the INF to the correct setup of the Catalyst software for that card - as I say, I used the settings for the standard 2600 card and it installed ok. I didn't try any games though.
On another note, I'm resisting doing anything further or testing any games until I have the screen issue resolved - after exchanging the naff 20" screen with it's horizontal shading (a dark shade at the top to a light shade at the bottom - very noticeable with darkish solid colours!) I've found my new (more costly!) 24" is having some problems with picture breakup, though so far only in Vista which I installed via Bootcamp.
I wish Apple would get there act together. It's my first Apple and I was expecting great things! So far, I would have had less hassle if I had built my own computer with Vista on and thats saying something!!
Matt
he added the RV630 string. but i tried that with my exact windows xp driver device ids and yes it still completed the installation successfully,but the fps sill stayed the same
