W8-Display too bright on lowest level after upgrade to windows 8 (64bit)

Display is too bright on lowest level after upgrade to windows 8 (64bit)
Hello,
does anyone know how to get the old drivers for w7 to work?
or is there another solution?
My installed driver:
Mobile Intel series 4 express chipset family MS corp. -WDDM 1.1
8.15.10.2702
even on cloudy day it hurts my eyes... (my temp solution is dimScreen app- black filter on top of all windows)
Fn+Home/End
funny thing is that the scale which shows on top left corner has like 11 steps but only top 8 works
also the old bottom page brightness scale (15 steps) disappeared.
background info:
X301-2776 so IMO it is GM45
i had w7pro i i have over installed it with w8pro both 64
thanks ahead for any ideas

success
this makes the trick - old drivers for win vista 64bit

Satellite A500 overheating after upgrading to windows 64bit

Hey,
I just upgraded to 64bit and my GPU temperature has been really high, around 60 degrees Celsius. It goes up to 107 when I run a game. When I had 32bit running I never had this problem, I could play any game without the laptop overheating. I thought at first it was a problem with drivers, or that im missing somthing.
I have updated bios, every single other driver that I could find for my laptop and repeatable reinstalled video card drivers with no change.
Now I have been trying to work out how to change the fan settings, I have noticed the fan starts running fast enough to hear at 55ish degrees and I want to decrease that setting aswells increase the fan speed.
I have tried Speedfan, and like 5 other programs where none of them worked.
I'm also afraid if I just reinstall 32bit that I will have the same problem since there might be some kind of driver or utility I have lost in the format.
Is there a way I can fix this problem? Is there a Toshiba utility or something I might have missed?
Is the A500 not compatible with 64bit? Can the fan settings be changed?
Thanks in advance

Have you installed the Toshiba Value Added Package? It is an important package because it provides core hardware interfaces.
If it's still overheating, there may be dust buildup in the heatsink. You can remove the dust by using a Can of Compressed Air.
If it's still overheating after removing the dust, updating the BIOS, and testing it with the factory Windows installation, then it's probably a hardware problem. An authorized service provider can investigate the problem. There's an ASP list on the Toshiba website.

Auto brightness does not work after upgrade from iOS5 to iOS6 on my iPod touch. Is this intended by Apple, or is it a bug?

I attempted to ask this question, yesterday. However, I am not used to typing with my thumbs, yet, and messed it up some. So, I will give this another try. Auto brightness does not work after upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 6 on my iPod touch. Is this intended by Apple, or is it a bug?

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
iOS 6 changed how that feature works.

S3-S440 no wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1

After upgrading to windows 8.1, the wifi is not working anymore.
I cannot find the wifi driver in the device managerment and I cannot see any information about wifi driver.
I try to re-setup the driver many times and checked the wireless module was enabled in the BIOS. But it is no progressing at all. I can only access to the Internet through the wire now...
Please help me.!!!

Networking Issues after Upgrading to Windows 8.1

I have a Windows 8 desktop PC that is working fine with my network. I can browse the Internet fine using all major browsers etc. After upgrading to Windows 8.1 through the Windows Store I noticed that my wired networking was not working correctly.
The status of the network does not change (i.e. it doesn't change to Limited Connectivity) however browsing to sites in Chrome, IE or Firefox doesn't work as well as Windows 8.
IE11 gives me the error "This page can't be displayed, make sure the web address is correct" and other browsers give a similar error. I normally have to refresh 2-3 times to get a new page to load, sometimes even more. Everything works
fine from a laptop connected at the same time so it isn't an network issue with my provider.
I thought this might be a driver issue with the two on-board Marvell wired network adapters. I wasn't able to rollback the driver to older versions I found on the Internet. I then purchased another network card, Intel Desktop gigabit and the
issue still persists with that adapter. I then tried a USB wireless adapter and the issue still persists using wifi with the wired adapters disabled. I tried a new network cable and no luck either. I also tried resetting the IP stack using
the various netsh commands.
After that I thought I might try reset the Windows 8.1 PC, however that didn't work as I didn't have the restore image available as I upgraded from the Windows Store. I then tried installing Windows 8.1 fresh using a ISO with my Windows 8 key using
some of the recent guides that are available. That all worked but it didn't fix the networking issues.
I re-installed Windows 8.0 and the networking is now fixed and back to working normal again. I'd like to try again but I think I will have the same problems. I can't imagine why this would be a driver issue as I tried 3 different network adapters
and two installs of Windows 8.1. Any ideas what would be the cause of the Windows 8.1 issue?

HI,
Since this issue only occurred in the your desktop PC, and many network adapters you tried, failed, thus I think maybe we should focus on the model of your desktop PC, I suggest you update the BIOS and chipset from the manufacture to improve
the performance of win8.1.
Please also test this issue in safe mode with networking.
Please refer to:

The issue occurs in safe mode as well under Windows 8.1. The motherboard is an Asus P5B Premium, however it works on Windows 8. How would I update the chipset when booted into Windows 8.1? In Device Manager it wasn't allowing me to update
the network drivers as they were newer versions already installed.
Edit: I also installed at Intel Chipset Device software dated 8/8/2013 with version 9.4.0.1026 and the issue still occurs. I am also running the latest BIOS that is available.

WPA security Types are missing after upgrading to Windows 8.1

After upgrading from Windows 8 Pro 64bit to Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit on my Sony Vaio Duoe 13, I could not find WPA security type while configuring Wireless network manually. (only WPA2 and 802.1X are available).
I have done a lot of troubleshootings like
1-Reinstall Wirless original driver
2-Updating the wireless driver to the latest
3-Uninstall and reinstall windows 8 then upgrading again to windows 8.1
But the same.
Is there any way to add WPA to the security type?

Yes! It works!
To recap : My laptop has an Atheros AR9002WB-1NG adapter, windows 8.1. Even when it had windows 8, it was unable to connect, but unlike now, I didn't look closely enough about the type of network. Originally I thought it was
this problem. But they confirmed that others with windows 8 had no issues with this. Then , when I tried configuring the network manually, I could not find the WPA-enterprise option at all, only the
WPA2-enterprise.
So here I was, and Greg Seth's answer gave me an idea.
In the following instructions, some commands are obvious, so I won't explain unless necessary. So here's what you do :
0) Go to command line, preferably Administrator (not tried without).
1) C:\Windows\System32> cd \Users\<User>\Documents
2) C:\Users\<User>\Documents> netsh
3) netsh> wlan
4) netsh wlan> show profiles
5) delete profile name=<yournetwork>
Enclose the name of network within quotes, this is to ensure that you can cleanly set up the right profile. Don't close the netsh, we'll need it some more. If you do, just reach there the same way as before.
6) Right click the connection icon in lower right corner > open Network and Sharing Center > Set up a new connection or network > Manually connect to a wireless network
7) Try to create a profile, and try to get as many details to correspond with your requirement. The rest we'll edit in command line, so let's make it as easy as possible.
8) Do the same at the next screen. Edit Network settings > change all the parameters that you can, to match the requirement. My university tech support has a detailed document listing the options to choose, usually for windows 7, or even windows 8. get
as many of them as possible.
9) Finish. Move back to your netsh terminal
10) netsh wlan> show profile <profilename>
without quotes this time. This should show your previous attempt at creating a profile in the GUI dialog boxes. In my case, it had WPA2 and AES. It has to become WPA and TKIP. I also set my authMode to userOnly, since I hadn't done it right in the dialog box
before.
11) netsh wlan> set profileparameter
displays a humongous list of parameters with detailed options, just carefully examine the syntax. It's all here.
12) netsh wlan> set profileparameter name=<profilename> authentication=wpa encryption=tkip authMode=userOnly
13) netsh wlan> set profileparameter
Don't exit this yet.
14) Now click the connection icon, and connect to the network. It will ask you the username and password in a different style, that was my clue something was different this time.
15) It should connect. In my case atleast, it did. Verify by browsing.
16) netsh wlan> export profile name=<profile name>
In order that you're not put through this ordeal again, export the profile safely to a file. Again, the profile name in quotes.
17) Wonder why microsoft makes things difficult for us!

Computer does not sleep automatically after upgrading to Windows 8.1?

I have Windows 8.1 and my laptop will not sleep even though its settings are set on a time frame to automatically - used to sleep perfectly fine without any issues before on Windows 8. I'm sure I don't have any applications such as, Windows Media Player
running or etc. that prevents my computer from sleeping because I've tested it with no applications running and does the same thing. The only thing it does is dimming and turns of the display on time. This is frustrating and inconvenient that I always have
to manually sleep through power settings, please help me fix this!
**I've heard this isn't just my problem and many people also experience the same issue after upgrading to Windows 8.1**
Please see attached photo below:

Thank you for your suggestion, Carey Frisch! I've left homegroup but it doesn't seem to temporary band-aid the issue. I've tried the other solutions there but I'm left to no avail.
"Hopefully Windows 8.2, which is slated to drop in the first half of January 2014, will address this sleeping pandemic, for now we all have to leave with Microsoft’s shenanigans."
I hope Microsoft addresses this issue as I'm not the only user who has this problem and fixes it in a soon coming update! Do something about it Microsoft!
I guess all we can do is play the waiting game and hope Microsoft listens...

Hi,catalyst control centre has stopped working after upgrading to windows 8 .

Hi,
i have a hp envy-6 notebook pc(Product number: B4P24PA#ACJ,Serial number: [Personal Information Removed] , which comes with windows 7 home basic! after upgrading to Windows 8 Pro 64-bit operating system ,my catalyst control centre ,host application has stopped workiing .

abhishek rao

Hi,
Have you checked in the Device Manager to see if all drivers are installed since upgrading? (look for yellow exclamation points)
Uninstall the AMD driver and catalyst control center. Install the version located in the download section of the web support portal for your sleekbook.It will install both driver (intel and AMD) and also switchable graphics capability if it previously existed.
Best regards,
erico

Can't find photos after upgrading to Windows 7

Bridge was working fine in Vista but after upgrading to Windows 7, I cannot find any of my photo files with bridge. Photoshop CS4 find them OK and so does Lightroom but for some reason Bridge does not list them under Folders. If I click on Libraries it says "no files". It does not list Pictures or My Pictures. I am totally stumped.

If I am in Photoshop
and go File>Open I get a list:
Recent Places
Desktop
Libraries
Computer
Network
I click on Libraries and get a list:
Documents
Pictures
Music
Videos
I click on Pictures and that is where all my picture files are stored (Used to be My Pictures in XP)
This also works in Lightroom if I Click on Import/Choose Files
Howeve,r from within Bridge, if I click on Libraries it says "No items to Display"
Also,within Bridge, If I click on the Files menu, the work Open is grayed out.

What can I do if I get an internal power error after upgrading to Windows 10?

QuestionWhat can I do if I get an internal power error after upgrading to Windows 10?
AnswerSome laptops with AMD graphics that upgraded to Windows 10 are showing blue screens with error messages regarding Internal_Power_Error. If you receive this error, try the procedure in this article.
First, you'll need to quickly set the boot options to Safe Mode:
1. Hold the Windows key and press 'R' to open the run box.
2. Type MSCONFIG, then press ENTER.
3. Select the BOOT tab.
4. Under BOOT OPTIONS, check Safe boot, then select Minimal.
5. Click Apply, then OK.
6. Click Restart. (If prompted, click Restart anyway.)
From Safe Mode disable the AMD Display Driver:
1. Hold the Windows key and press the 'X' key to open a menu in the lower-left.
2. Click Device Manager.
3. Expand Display adapters to show the two display adapters.
4. Double click AMD Radeon R9 M200X Series.
5. Select the Driver tab.
6. Click Disable, then click Yes to confirm.
7. Click Close.
8. Hold the Windows key and press the 'R' key to open the run box.
9. Type MSCONFIG, then press ENTER.
10. Select the BOOT tab.
11. Uncheck Safe boot.
12. Click Apply, then OK.
13. Click Restart. (If prompted, click Restart anyway.)
From Windows 10 started with the AMD Display Driver disabled:
1. Hold the Windows key and press the 'X' key to open a menu in the lower-left.
2. Click Device Manager.
3. Expand Display adapters to show the two display adapters.
4. Double click AMD Radeon R9 M200X Series.
5. Select the Driver tab.
6. Click Update Driver.
7. Click Search automatically for updated driver software.
8. An AMD driver should be found and installed.
The driver that originally caused this problem is AMD display driver version 15.200.1046.2 dated 7/15/2015.
The driver installed through this process might have an older date, such as 15.200.1055.0 dated 7/6/2015. That's okay.

I'm having the same problem. I got error message 21. I went to apple store. they are saying i have a hardware error. Really, my phone was working before the update. Asked me for $150 to get another one when I am due to get a new one and wanted to pass this one on to my child.
Help please,
I will be glad to go back to the older software update

Dolby Home Theater v4 not working after upgrading to Windows 10

Hi there, I just upgraded to Wndows 10 Home from Windows 8.1; everything went smoothly except for the fact that Dolby Home Theater v4 does not work. I had to reinstall it using the .msi file found in the Realtek Audi folders. I chose v4 over any of the other versions because I like how I can tune the equalizer to my liking and different uses. Anyways, the regular audio works and Dolby is turned on but there is no activity appearing on the equalizer and my music does not change once adjusted. Had this problem when doing an optional audio driver update in the past when I was running 8.1. I do not have the option to rollback the driver after upgrading to Windows 10. Does anyone have a solution to this issue or know what the correct Realtek driver is to make Dolby work? This is one of my favorite features of my laptop and I really want it up and running again! Thank you in advance! JakeStiebs My unit: Lenovo Ideapad Z580 running Windows 10 Home with Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.7535

one more thing. I was not able to download cleanup tool/online scanner too. but may be it has something to do with my internet bandwidth. and other strange thing i observed is that before restart i was not even able to turn off all security features. but after restart that problem seems to be corrected.

Games not working after upgrading to windows 10

My Laptop configuration is 8GB Ram,Intel i7 processor and 4GB Nvidia Graphics which is more than enough for running games like Batman Arkham, Portal, Skyrim etc. These games used to worked smoothly when I had windows 8.1, but after upgrading to windows 10 these games are not working/working very slowly. What to do?

My HP LaserJet 1536 Scanner will not work after upgrading to Windows 10

I just upgraded to Windows 10, and now the scanner will not work, although I can still print. I downloaded the latest driver, but this does not seem to help. The error message I get states that scanner communication cannot be established. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

Greetings , I saw your post regarding the problems you are having with scanning after upgrading to windows 10.
I would start with the simple, have you tried just restarting the computer? Have you made sure your computer has all of it's windows updates? How can I tell if my computer is up to date? Most products do have updated software available for Windows 10, did you install the correct driver?HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver I've also seen a few posts that say the Windows 8.1 driver will work for Windows 10 as well, so you could try that too.  HP provides a free tool called HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose and resolve printing and scanning problems. I recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor, if it doesn't fix it automatically let me know what errors or messages you receive.  Do you know if you are able to scan using Paint? To Scan from Paint: HP Multifunction Printers - How to Scan: Windows 8
(It's the same for Windows 10, from what I've been told)Right-click the Start button () in the lower left corner of the screen, click Search, and then type ...Click Paint in the results.Click File, and then click From scanner or camera.Select your printer, click OK, and then click Scan.  Have you tried just using the New Scanner app in Windows 10? It's the same as the one for Windows 8. Here are some resources;New Scanner app in Windows 10Scan app for Windows: FAQ
And a Video link...    Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help.  I look forward to hearing from you!  Thanks,

T440s freezes when plugged in to AC after upgrade to Windows 10

After upgrading to Windows 10 my T440s shows the following behaviour: It boots up fine with the AC adapter plugged in. Now if I unplug power it goes into battery mode, i.e. darker backlight etc just fine. Now plugging the power back in, the screen gets brighter but the UI freezes. The screen freezes and the mouse pointer doesn't move. It doesn't seem to completely lock up though because when I unplug the power again everything comes back to life again. I have installed the latest Windows 10 drivers I could find to no avail. Anybody have the same experience? Thanks, Carsten

I am happy to report that this is fixed after upgrading the Intel HD Graphics driver from Windows Update via Device Manager. Not sure why that hadn't shown up as available directly in Windows Update.

Incorrect resolution after upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1

I have W510 4389-P2G which had 1920x1200 resolution in Windows 7 and 8. After upgrade to Windows 8.1 the monitor became blurry and resolution is now 1920x1080. In Device manager I can see Thinkpad Display 1920x1080 driver. After uninstalling the driver and installing newest drivers for W510 and restarting (I also tried drivers for W500) the result is always 1920x1080. What can I do to solve the problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My W510 has always been 1920x1200 until I intalled Windows 8.1
Now, the screen is blurry with less vertical space and resolution 1920x1080
Apparently there are other W510 1920x1200 out there:
