Windows 7 (x64) taskbar not working after using digitizer in tablet mode. x61t.

Hi,
I have Windows 7 professional x64 on my thinkpad x61t. I updated all drivers from windows update and also from lenovo.com. So far it's been about two weeks with no problems. But when I started using tablet mode (fold) for lecturing a class (clone video output) in tablet mode, the taskbar stops responding to my clicks. No error message or anything, but I just can't press the start button or anything on the taskbar using a stylus. The point on the screen moves and follows my digitizer/mouse correctly, but I can't press anything. The keyboard works though, so I can restart the computer to get it back working. What could be causing the problem?
I've tried installing lenovo-wacom dual touch driver, but it only caused more problems, so I had to remove it and use the windows update driver.
x61 tablet / multitouch / 3GB Ram / intel wifi / bluetooth

Workaround: Press 'Control + Alt + Del' to open task manager, and click 'Cancel'.
Stylus worked okay during teaching using Onenote. The problem starts when I start clicking the start menu and try opening other programs while in tablet mode. Once the loss of pointer, the only thing works is the keyboard.
I found a workaround for this. Press 'Control + Alt + Del' to open task manager, and click 'Cancel'. Then you can gain control again, at least until the next time you loose mouse/tablet control.
I currently have hotkey driver and sound driver (final driver for win7). For system interface driver / tablet button driver / tablet shortcut menu, I installed beta drivers. All other drivers were updated through Windows Update.
I'd appreciate if anyone finds a fix for this problem.

Windows update does not work after using System recovery disk

I have a Toshiba Satellite c655 with WIndows 7 64 bit Home premium. The hard drive died on it, so I purchased a new hard drive and purchased the appropriate Recovery media from Toshiba. I followed the directions and installed the 3 disks on to the new hard drive. But Windows update does not work I get the following error: Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your PC    No matter what I try, I can not get it to work. And it will not let me install Windows Defender either. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time on this matter.
Solved!

I get errors saying A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.
That makes two similarities to the following thread. Both Windows Update and Troubleshooters fail to work correctly.

The fix was to install a new hard disk driver.

Mail not working after using migration assistant - what am I missing?

Mail not working after using migration assistant - what am I missing?

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

Hot Corners not working after using Call of Duty 4

So I have noticed that Hot Corners are not working after i use COD4.
I know that the game uses different resolution and somehow interupts the hot corner software. Buty why and how I dont know.
I very often close COD4 by using Cmd+Q (or something like that)... But it doesnt matter if I quit it the "real" way. Hot corners still stops working after I use it.
Hot corners works again if I reboot my iMac and also if I have used COD4 then go to System Preferences and Hot Corneres and make one change there.. then it magically works again.
Does anyone have any definate solution for this.
PS: I have an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. 4GB 1067 MHz RAM and Lion 10.7.3.
I also have a Macbook Pro with the same problem.... and both computers running Lion OSX and are always updated....
Peace

Does your 8600M GT have 128 or 256MB VRAM? Both versions shipped with that model MBP. The game sysreqs says that, while 128 is minimum, 256 is preferred. We all know what "minimum" means in software advertising.
Have you downloaded the SL Graphics updater?
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1083
It's supposed to fix certain games but it's worth a shot.
I'm surprised that the temp doesn't change. Even running the COD2 demo on my Late 2007 2.2G with 2G RAM and the 128MB version of the 8600, temps go up to 160-170F. That was under 10.5. Just upgraded to 10.6 Sunday, so I guess I should check COD2 again, because SL seems to run cooler on my MBP.

Swipe for Notification Center and Control Center not working after using Window Zoom

I'm using iOS 8.0.2 on an iPhone 6 and have noticed that after using the Window Zoom (Accessibility feature 3-finger double-tap), I cannot swipe down for Notification Center nor swipe up for Control Center when unlocked (i.e. in Home screen or within an app screen). However, when the iPhone is locked, the swipe down for Notification Center and swipe up for Control Center is okay. It just doesn't work when unlocked. And the only way to rectify the problem is to reboot the phone.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I have figured out the solution to all of our problems!!! We can keep the zoom function ON!!!! Yay!
Step one. Turn back on the beloved zoom function.
step two. Tap screen with 3 fingers.
step three. Select window zoom. (If already selected move on to step Quatro)
step qautro. Select Resize lens.
and for the moment you've all be waiting for... Drum roll..
the grand finale step. IS...
shrink the window to the smallest size.
AFter you have done these 5 steps, you can thoroughly enjoy having all three functions at once. If you switch back to Full Screen Zoom (if that be your preference) the notification and control centers will remain functional! Bon apetit!
i have been successful enlarging the window while keeping the centers functioning by making sure the window is in the shape of a square.

T500 - Windows Update no longer works after using factory recovery disks.

I'm running Windows 7 32bit. I needed to restore my T-500 hard drive because of a fatal windows registry error caused by a 3rd party registry cleaner/tuner software... Windows 7 was DOA .
I used the factory recovery disks I created after I first fired up the laptop in April this year, all went well, Windows 7 booted up, and I went through the "Starting Widows for the first time" setup dialog, Windows 7 sucessfully activated... also verfifed it on the Microsoft website.
Went into control panel to have windows update pull down all of the critical updates released after I got my Thinkpad and I got a pop up saying "windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer."
I checked... the windows update service is running, so is BITS. Following suggestions from Microsoft support, I have 1)deleted the softwaredistribution folder from C:\windows, 2) run their "fixit tool", 3) renamed the CatRoot2 folder in C:\windows'system32, all to no avail each time I tried to use windows update after each "fix".
I decided to check here if anyone here has gone down this path before and ask what fixed it?
I'm waiting for Microsoft support to reply to my last email informing them the last instructions to rename the CatRoot2 folder and retry windows update failed. They now have a copy of my windowsupdate.log file sent to them.
How about it... does this situation sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks.

I run into the same problem with fresh installation of W7 Pro on T530 with 1TB samsung disk.
This solution worked for me:
    Running check for updates will trigger this error message:
“Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.”
Solution:
1.    Go to Administrative Tools/Services, and stop the Windows Update service.
2.    Then go to the folder c: /Windows/SoftwareDistribution and delete all of the files and folders.
3.    Then go back to Services and restart the Windows Update service which will recreate all of those folders again.
4.    Then manually run the Update Service and everything should work.

Keyboard does not work after using Support Drivers

I have a Macbook Pro 4,1 15" 2.4GHz C2D, and managed to get Bootcamp installed on it with Win7 Home Pro. I have verified that it runs correctly, but it is missing many of the drivers needed to make things run smoothly. I no longer have my Leopard disks that the machine came, so I figured the WindowsSupportDrivers would be the way to go.
When I install them and reboot, the keyboard does not work. When I hit capslock, I get the caution notice indicating underneath my password field indicating the capslock key is on, so it's not like my entire keyboard is disabled. The system is unusable right now, since I have to enter my password to login, and it does not take any keyboard input. Using an external keyboard did not resolve this issue.
I did a system restore to get it back to a usable state for the time being.
Is there an alternative to the BCA support drivers or the Leopard disk? What's going on with my keyboard after the driver update?

Maybe you have installed obsolete drivers. If you have Lion, open Boot Camp Assistant (Applications > Utilities) in OS X and download Boot Camp drivers

Windows Update no longer works after using Lenovo Enhanced Recovery

Using the system recovery backup disk I created when I first got my T500, I performed a recovery to a new larger HD that I'm upgrading to.
All went well, windows booted up and I got the "Starting Windows for the first time" message and then I went through the setup wizard... Did everything like I did when first got the T500. Windows 7 activation was successful
Now here's the rub, I tried to use Windows Update retrieve all of the updates released since April when my laptop was built. Windows Update flat out refuses to work. I keep getting a pop-up box saying "windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to start your computer".
I checked the Windows Update service, it's running. I've gone into the windows folder and deleted the software distribution folder as instructed by Microsoft support. They wanted me to also download and install a "CheckSUR" tool from their support website, but the install falls with a a pop-up from Windows Update Standalone Installer with an error: 0xc8000247.
Now this is all on the new HD, when I swap the older on back in there is no problem getting the updates.
I'm stuck, has anyone encountered this type of thing with Windows Update?

I executed the "fixit" in both modes at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058
Windows update still refuses to work. All pertinent services are running.
Since this is an attempt at installing a larger hd, I swapped back to the original drive and verified that windows update has no problems when running on the original HD.
I've now started again from scratch.
I put the new larger HD in a SATA/USB HD docking station that I just bought. I formatted the new HD clean, then instead of using the factory recovery disks like I did before, I used Acronis True Image, which I downloaded from the Western Digital support webpage, to clone the original HD over to the new one.
I powered off the laptop, pulled the original HD out and put the new HD in , unplugged the now empty SATA/USB HD docking station, booted up, windows starts and comes up with all looking fine, except... again, windows update still refuses to work.
I went back to the Microsoft website above, ran the fixit action in aggressive mode, and windows updates still gets the same result... When I open windows update in control panel, Windows Update is in red. When I check for updates, I get the pop-up saying "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer".
A check of services shows that Windows Update, Cryptographic Service and Background Intelligent Transfer Service are all started.
This is really frustrating... this should be a simple HD upgrade. It appears that with whatever means that is used to copy or place an image of the original HD on the new HD, Windows 7 is not going to let me use update on the new drive.

Aperture 2.0 Activation Key does not work after using older trial version

I was using the installed trial version of Aperture 1.5+ in my recently purchased MacBook Pro Duo (December 2007). After using the trial version for 30 days I debated whether to take the plunge ...and then within a few days recieved word that v2.0 was out at 199$. That motivated me ...however, here I am nearly one week later without ability to activate a full blown version of 2.0.
I recieved the activation key, but it doesn't accept it in the dialog to upgrade in the trial version. Hint seems to be that it is not a serial number I am entering but an activation key.
I did not order a boxed version, so what do I do now? Support is not too helpful as I have searched Apple's website and have no clue as to where to go.
Last resort ... I want my $199 back!

did you download the trial for Aperture 2

Sound not working after using AppleTV

I used AppleTV the other day with my MacBook Pro and everything worked find while I was using it. However, I want to watch something on my laptop now, and my sound is not working. The volume is grayed out in the menu and whenever I try to use my volume buttons to turn it back on, nothing happens. I think my laptop still thinks it is connected to AirPlay, but it isn't. And even when I would disconnect from AirPlay but keep AppleTV on, the volume was still grayed out. Please let me know if there is a way to fix this, as I find my self unable to.

Trackpoint does not work after switching from the tablet to laptop mode.

I use my tablet to run a smartboard. Sometimes when I switch to the tablet mode and back by reversing the display, the trackpoint and mouse keys stop working. The touchpad below it still works. I am running windows 7. I have gone into the control panel, under mouse, and both the trackpoint and touchpad are still both checked. ?? When I restart the functions return.

Hi Remaxjoe,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m really sorry to hear that trackpoint is not working properly in your Lenovo system.
I would suggest you to download the Ultranav drivers for your system and install it.
Below is the link to enter downloads page and install the Ultranav driver.

More text not working after using bluetooth map profile with bmw

Hello,
I am using my BB9360 in my BMW. Everything is working fine, emails, contacts, schedulke and tasks are displayed. But after leaving the car my BB is not able to complete an email (more text). After doing an restart (BB) the "more text" menu is working again. Disabling the email accounts in the bluetooth map options is a work around.
I swapped the hardware witth no effect.
I am running OS 7.1 Paket 1133 v7.1.0.336
Any suggestions or ist it a known bug?
Walter

I have exactly the same issue with BMW iDrive on a Dec 2011 M3 and Bold 9900 using the snap-in adaptor and bluetooth - but thanks for the workaround, was really doing my nut not being able to download more!
Would prefer a bug fix though of course - am up to date on latest versions for the 9900 on Vodafone UK, but I have an outstanding update on the iDrive which I will do and let you know the result.
