Windows 7: No On-Screen Display

I have updated my T60 to Windows 7 and have installed all the latest drivers for my system. I have installed the latest drivers for hotkey and system interface, but still cannot get the on screen display to show up. I do get the on screen display tab on my thinkpad display settings, but if I apply them nothing works. Any thoughts?

I had the same problem on my T61P. This site had the solution.

Basically insert shortcuts to
c:\drivers\hotkey\osd\lvosdsvc.exe
c:\drivers\hotkey\osd\tponscr.exe
c:\drivers\hotkey\osd\tposdsvc.exe
into your startup folder and it works.

Start up Screen displays HP logo, then is blank.

Basically what is in the subject. When I start my laptop the screen shows the HP logo, then when it should go to the log in screen it is blank and blacked out. All other keyboard lights work and I can hear the hard drive. I've tried restarting and doing a hard reset. Am I doing something wrong? Hope someone can help.

Fn on screen display message generator for ThinkPad has stopped working

Hi,
I did a clean install of Windows Vista Enterprise edition and have installed all the drivers for my T400.
What I found was that the Fn on screen display message generator was working fine right before I installed the driver for the Intel GM4500 video controller.
Once I installed this video driver, I get a popup window that says On screen display message generator for Thinkpad has stopped working
The problem details are as follows:

I know that some of you have experienced this problem too but so far there hasn't been a solution that's worked.
I'm reluctant to install Vista SP1 or SP2 as that may caus other unrelated problems.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

Dear All
Error message on start "on screen display message generator for thinkpad has stopped working"
Event Log "Faulting application TPOSDSVC.exe"
OS Vista Business 32
I have experienced this on a customer's ThinkPad R61e Machine Type 7650-DNG and found that the following solves the problem.
Firstly run Thinkvantage System Update and get everything up to date from Critical, Recommended and Optional Updates tabs.
Next Run Windows Update and view the available updates select all High Priority Microsoft updates and any optional ones that you require and (and this is where it differs from normal Lenovo advice) select the Conexant Audio driver aswell.
Current Vista version available on Windows Update is 4.98 (Date 23 Jun 2009)
Current Vista version available on Thinkvantage System Update is 4.18 (Date 2 Oct 2007)
NB Re-installing 4.18 may have solved the problem also, but I have not tried that and do not plan to.
I hope this helps.

Remembering windows positions when switching from/to dual screen display

Hello,
Most of the time, a second LCD screen is plugged in my Macbook and configured as the main display. When I arrange the windows, I keep iTunes or my mail application maximized on the macbook screen and use the bigger external screen for all other windows.
If I unplug the external display, all the windows are of course moved to the laptop display. When I plug again the external screen, all the windows are moved to the external display. But I would like the iTunes and mail application to remain on the laptop screen.
Is there any utility to remember the windows positions and arrange them automatically when I switch from/to single/dual-screen display?
Regards,
Raph

Would DisplayWatcher do what you want? I came across this a couple of weeks ago but haven't had the chance to try it out yet.

On screen display and FN+ buttons don't work after format

I formatted my entire HDD and re-installed windows 7 pro. After doing the format and re-install the on screen display doesn't show up when I adjust volume or enable/disable caps lock like it did previously before I re-installed. I've installed the hotkey driver, on screen display, display interface driver, ran the Lenovo update utility several times, installed all windows updates. Is there somewhere where I have to enable OSD (on screen display)? I am sure this is just something small that I am overlooking but if anyone has any help please let me know! sorry if this has been posted already, I tried searching before making a post but didn't have any luck.

A couple other things to check:

How do i get the volume on screen display meter back?

Hello,
I have a minor problem... for some reason the on screen display meter for my volume when pressing on the keyboard suddenly disappeared, I would like to get this back.
I found this thread in the forum http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/how-do-i-get-the-volume-on-screen-display-me... which another was having the same problem I'm having. The only difference is that I'm using HP Pavilion G7 with Windows 7.

Error when calling a popup window in the initial screen of an application

Hi,
    I am calling a popup window in the Initial screen to select the variant list.
I am getting an error reference to Null Object reference.
Here is the Error.
Runtime Errors         OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED_NO
Exception              CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL
Date and Time          15.06.2007 10:00:16
Short text
Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
What happened?
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CP" had to be
terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
administrator.
Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
at and manage termination messages, and you can also
keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not
caught in
procedure "SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
access a component.
An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
before it can be used to access components.
Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
CLEAR statement.
How to correct the error
Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.
If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
keywords:
"OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED_NO" "CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL"
"CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CP" or "CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CM00Q"
"SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA"
If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
notification to SAP, include the following information:
1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
(Unconverted)".
2. Corresponding system log
Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
(Unconverted)".
3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
program: The source code of the program
In the editor, choose "Utilities->More
Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".
4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which
actions and input led to the error.
The exception must either be prevented, caught within proedure
"SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA" "(METHOD)", or its possible occurrence must be declared in
the
RAISING clause of the procedure.
To prevent the exception, note the following:
Looking for Ur valuable suggestions.
Cheers,
Sam

Hi Sam,
The correct code for creating a popup window will be:
data lo_window_manager type ref to if_wd_window_manager.
data lo_api_component type ref to if_wd_component.
data lo_window         type ref to if_wd_window.
lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
lo_window         = lo_window_manager->create_window(
                     window_name            = 'WINDOW_NAME'
*                    title                  =
*                    close_in_any_case      = abap_true
                     message_display_mode   = if_wd_window=>co_msg_display_mode_selected
*                    close_button           = abap_true
                     button_kind            = if_wd_window=>co_buttons_okcancel
                     message_type           = if_wd_window=>co_msg_type_none
                     default_button         = if_wd_window=>co_button_ok
lo_window->open( ).
Hope this helps.

How do I make a window expand to full screen?

I am using Dreamweaver MX 2004 with Windows XP.
My question is a page from my homepage www.artmanphoto.com
> Portfolio > Business Portraits then click on the Gallery
button. When my web designer built my site there was only two
business portraits and when you clicked on the Gallery button the
window was smaller and did not expand to a full screen display.
Tonight I added a third portrait and the window is still smaller
than the full screen display so you have to use the horizontal
scroll bar to view all three images or you can click on the Expand
button in the upper right corner of the screen to make the window
display full screen. I thought that when I added the third portrait
the and it was displayed on my website that the window would expand
to show all three portraits but it didn't.
Is there a way that I can change something to make the window
with the three business portraits open to full screen when you
click on the Gallery button?
Thanks very much for your help!

No. Modern browsers are designed to protect users from that
kind of
manipulation. Typically, web users don't want their browsers
windows
manipulated.

Windows 8.1 lock screen

Hi there,
I would like to ask about lock screen. Normally, when I turn the screen off using function key, it will lock the screen and when I press any key, windows will ask for authentication. But after receive some updates, I cannot not do this anymore. The screen
will turn on and go directly into the screen without asking any passwords so I would like to ask how to lock the screen automatically when I turn the screen off.
Thank you for your help

Hi,
In alternative way, we can try following steps:

T500 on screen display not working

I searched, but have not found any other posts with this problem.
I re-loaded Windows Vista 64 on a new hard drive, and have re-installed all drivers. I installed the hotkey driver for on screen display, and the tab appears correctly in the advanced display properties.
The on-screen display was working properly with the default Vista driver, but once I installed the dual graphics drivers, the on-screen display has become about 2 pixels high, just above the windows task bar. I tried changing the font and size and color in the setup tab, but this doesn't fix it. I have uninstalled and re-installed the hotkey driver, and also the display drivers.
Any ideas for this strange one?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you! That did it! For others benefit, here are the instructions from the earlier thread:
There is a bug, so the size isn't really set, and you don't see anything. That's why you have to edit the size in windows registry editor. Click Start -> RUN-> type "regedit" BE CAREFULL with this tool! Press CTRL+F .... and find "OnScreenDisplay" Whole path will be: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IBM\TPHOTKEY\OnScreenDisplay Change "Size" value from "00 00 00 00" to "00 01 10 10" (right click on "Size" -> select Modify Binary data). Close Registry Editor. That's it.
My on screen display driver is the latest. I am using Vista Business 64 bit, so maybe the driver for 64 bit has not been fixed yet.
Thanks again!

My laptop screen displays on reverse direction

HP Pavilion DV6-2121er
OS: Windows 7 Home Basic
My laptop screen displays texts and symbols on reverse direction. For example, on the desktop "My computer" - as "retupmoc yM".
I did reinstall my OS, but it didn't help me.
What problem may be? Please, help me!

I have the same problem. A more accurate description would be that the display is mirrored...
If I view the reflection of my display in a mirror everything appears normal.
If I view my display directly everything is reversed horizontally pixel by pixel (i.e.. mirrored).
At no point during the boot process is the display correct. As soon as the BIOS posts the screen is messed up so this issue has nothing to do with the display driver as it's not even loaded yet.
My problem is actually slightly worse. My display is mirrored and then shifted to the right half a screen length with pixels beyond the right edge of the screen getting wrapped around to the left side of the screen. You can get a sense of the problem by doing or imagining the following scenerio:
1) Take a screen shot of your desktop.
2) Open the screen shot in photoshop and mirror it (not the same as rotating or flipping)
3) Print the screen shot and tape the left edge of the paper to the right edge forming a tube
4) Make the tube flat again by cutting it down what used to be the middle of the image.
Please help HP

Photoshop cs6 window too big for screen, lost the drag facility?

I have lost the corner of the photoshop window below the dock so don't have access to the drag facility in the window corner. I have tried resizing the screen but this hasn't helped, any ideas welcome!!

What OS are you running? I would think it would have some function to allow you move windows that are larger then your display so you can move the windows so part of the window frame is on screen so you can then re-size the window.
For example I just move my Chrome browser window sot the top of the window is behind the task bar. I now can not move it necause I can mot position the mouse int the window header bar. However I can position the mouse over the running Chrome icon in the task bar. Windows will show a preview of the running Chrome window or windows. If I right click on a preview window Window's will open a right click menu I can click on the move item and them move the off screen window on to the display using the arrow keys or the mouse.
