Thinkpad Edge E531

Subject Thinkpad comes up with the Lenovo screen then a BOOT MENU / APPLICATION MENU and hangs. I select the HDD, screen goes blank and it comes back to the aforementioned screen. I have tried F8 to try SAFE MODE but always comes back to BOOT MENU / APP MENU.
Thank You

Activate Acrobat X Pro Update from Acrobat 8 Standard Update

When I try to install the Acrobat 10 Pro Update software that I purchased directly from Adobe, a window opens that demands entry of the Adobe 8 code but does not list Acrobat 8 Standard as one of the possible choices.
When I purchased the upgrade the Adobe web site said" consider an upgrade to Acrobat X Pro if you have Acrobat 9, 8, or 7 Standard."
I not only considered the upgrade, I purchased it for USD 199. How do I install?
This is very unpleasant because in order to try and install Acrobat 10 Pro, I am asked to uninstall Acrobat 8. Then when I get to the final installation step, I am not allowed to continue and am left with nothing!!! Since Adobe 8 was an upgrade to Acrobat 6, the reinstallation process is lengthy.

Redwood X I would recommend contacting our support team. They can easily verify your serial number is valid. For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6. Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.

Premiere Pro update from 5.0 to 5.03 fails.

After exhaustedly trying to figure why some clips are substituing for others, I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it and then clicked to update. It goes through the whole bar graph, downloading updates but then says it fails and lists each failure if I click for more details.
On the other hand , if I do the same thing from CS6 Photoshop, then it says only the Premiere Pro ones failed.

Well I was trying to follow up. First the forum was down for a half day so I couldn't read the post. Then when I could get on, I followed the link and started with the 5.01 download.
the box asking to open or save went to the bottom of the screen and the windows task bar was blocking the area to click. Normally this goes away but it didn't the rest of the day. Is there a way to clear that away? Also the download box couldn't be moved, so for this simple ridiculous reason, I could proceed no farther.
today I tried again and the taskbar wasn't in the way and I downloaded the 5.01 update and then went to run it and it said I need to register and buy Winzip. So before I can proceed I need to buy another product?

Why is Lenovo not updating display drivers for Thinkpad Edge E535?

My display drivers are old almost 2 years now. It's not very professional from Lenovo to be so lazy about updating drivers. Someone asked this before, and guy from Lenovo said to him that current drivers are working OK so there is no need for updating them. Well, newer drivers are obviously working better, but Lenovo doesn't care enough I guess..
Will never recommend Lenovo to anyone..
Sorry for mistakes in text, English is my foreign language..

"and guy from Lenovo said to him that current drivers are working OK"
No, they are not. I can't update IE10's Microsoft security updates and can't upgrade IE10 to IE11 (and soon IE12) due to the old hybrid driver on my Thinkpad E520.

Dolby Home Theater v4 not working on Thinkpad Edge E531

Windows 8.1 Pro Update 1 not available

I have a new Thinkpad 10 running Windows 8.1 Pro. I don't see an option to install Update 1 (available through Windows Store on my other Windows 8 laptops). I don't think that Update 1 has been installed since I don't see the power button on Start screen next to my user name. Using the Windows Update command doesn't work, says that all updates have been installed. How do I get Update 1? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You won't see the power button on the Start Screen on any tablet that uses Connected Standby (aka InstantGo) - it's by Microsoft's design. So you will be running Update 1 if you are being told that all updates are installed.

3/11/15 Windows Update killed bluetooth on Thinkpad Tablet 2

So I just finished installing Windows updates from March 11 and my Bluetooth on my Thinkpad Tablet 2 is suddenly disabled. Anyone else having this problem?
I can't access Bluetooth settings. On the devices Control Panel, there is no Bluetooth Device under networking, but a Serial Bus device is displaying an error message. Disabling/Enabling the device and restarting does not help. It cannot be uninstalled, and when I try to update the driver it says there are no new drivers available.
I manually downloaded the latest BT driver from Lenovo support (it is several months old) and after it completes the re-installation/repair, there is still no BT. It seems like the driver is simply incompatible with the newly updated Windows OS. Let me know if you have any other ideas. Otherwise, Lenovo should be alerted to this problem so they can fix it.
I rely on my tablet daily for work and it's a major inconvenience when it becomes disabled by a routine update. The TPT2 is designed for use with the BT Keyboard.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Something's definitely gone wrong. I can enable Bluetooth, and can pair with my Windows Phone, but I can no longer share files from my phoine to the Tablet. That alone is a big pain in the butt.
I rarely use my bluetooth keyboard. It always had the same problem that at some random point, it woudl disconnect from the Tablet, and the only way to get it to reconnect was to cycle the Bluetooth on and off. Easier said than done when the tablet is docked. I gave up after a while, and use either a Logitech wireless keyboard or usb keyboards.
The March Rollup ironically included a fix that specifcially addressed the keyboard lock out. Apparenttly, if the PC had BT 4.0 (which ours does), and it could see other devices other than just the keyboard, then it would disconnect the keyboard, and cycling power on the keyboard would not fix the problem. The MS patch was designed to fix this specific issue. I don't recall the KB #.
That said, hopefully Lenovo will see these issues being reported, and update the drivers.

Is there any possible way I can dual boot Windows with OSX 10.7.2 on a MacBook Pro 15' from 2006?

Hello,
I am new to this forums.
I have searched about dual boot win/mac, but couldn't find a clear answer, so I decided to post this now.
I run a MacBook Pro 15' from 2006 (Intel based) and have upgraded it to OSX 10.7.2 Lion.
I have tried to install windows 7 on a small (20GB) partition by using Bootcamp, but then I've received a notice saying that there was no windows support software available. However, I did install Windows 7 Professional by unchecking that box. After the installation I have downloaded the windows support software and tried to install it but then I've received a notice saying that I can't install it on this machine.
Could you please give me any suggestions on how to dual boot win/mac, if it is possible at all using this machine? And how to safely go back to where I was before (with a single mac OSX 10.7.2 partition)?
Thanks.

This problem has been solved as I just needed to download Boot Camp 4.

Take a look at Apple's document for authorizations -> iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization.
You can deauthorize all computers from iTunes. All you have to do is click iTunes Store, click your account name in the upper right corner of iTunes, then deauthorize all.

I updated from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1 and ever since Firefox has run somewhat strangely. In particular when on sites with a lot of images like Facebook,etc

Hello, I am writing as I am experiencing some issues with my favorite web browser after updating to Windows 8.1. Here are some details. I updated from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1 and ever since Firefox has run somewhat strangely. In particular when on sites with a lot of images like Facebook. It is like there is some kind of Flikr effect between the desktop and the images and between the images and the browser (almost like old 16 bit video games flikering). It is not too bad but it is an issue. I have tried resetting firefox and restarting the computer. I haven't tried a repair, and I haven't done an uninstall yet.

thank you for helping, the issue seems to have been caused by the hardware accelerator

Windows 8.1 will not get Forefront Client Updates from WSUS

Recently I noticed that my Windows 8.1 clients were not getting updates from WSUS 3.2. After some searching I found it was an issue with HTTPS and the solution was to disable HTTPS or enable TLS. So I enabled TLS on the Server 2008 R2 WSUS server
and that fixed the issue with my 8.1 clients not getting updates except for Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010. My SCCM server deploys the client fine but it is version 2.1 and normally the client and definition updates come from WSUS with the
latest client version being 4.5. However, my Windows 8.1 machines will not get the client updates even though they are automatically approved for all machines.
I am just wondering what else I can check or change to make sure my Windows 8.1 clients get the Forefront client updates as they should?? I am wondering if I manually install the 4.1 client update if it will take the client updates after that.
I only have about eight Windows 8.1 machines so if I have to do that by hand for now then I will and I think my organization will be moving to Server 2012 and SCCM 2012 this summer sometime.

I reread your post and have another suggestion. If your SCCM 2007 server is still deploying the old 2.1 FEP client version, then you should install the latest anti-malware platform update for the SCCM server so you can deploy it from there instead of WSUS:

Also, you may be affected by this:
"Anti-malware platform updates on MU will use special detection logic and applicability rules to make the anti-malware platform updates available only on computers with previous N-2 anti-malware platforms installed. For example, on April 8<sup>th</sup>,
anti-malware platform of version 4.5.x will be released on MU, and it will only be offered to computers where anti-malware platform version 4.3.x or 4.4.x is available. If a computer has FEP or SCEP client with version 4.1.x, it has to be upgraded to version
4.3.x first, then to the latest version (4.5.x). If a computer has FEP or SCEP client with version older than 4.1.x, because of the same N-2 rule, it has to be upgraded to 4.1.x first, then to 4.3.x, and then to the latest version (4.5.x). Required updates
will be kept on MU to ensure that this upgrade process is available for computers running older versions of the Microsoft anti-malware platform."
