Y50 Synaptic Control Panel Settings grayed out

I recently had my y50 sent to Lenovo to repair a faulty USB port. When the laptop returned, the hardware issue was resolved and Lenovo had also reflashed Windows. However, there was a new problem. I can't modify any settings in the synaptics control panel! Registry changes also appear to have no effect on these settings as well (unless there is a registry data value which corresponds to enabling and disabling the whole control panel). I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver numerous times (the Win8.1 x64 version provided on the Lenovo website) to no avail. I've attached some screenshots of device manager, control panel, mouse settings, and the synpatics control panel. Anyone know the issue? I know for sure that before I sent the kaptop to Lenovo, it had a different control panel installed. If someone has a copy of the older driver for this laptop, send it my way.

Dear theluketheory,
Welcome in lenovo Forums.
Please try to Uninstall Synaptics Touchpad drivers through Control Panel > Programs and Features , reboot the computer and install the below:

    Symptoms
    In rare instances, the setting to turn on Wi-Fi on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may appear grayed out or dim. You may see the following when you tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
    If this occurs, you can't turn Wi-Fi on, and when you try to turn Wi-Fi on, your device won't respond. If you're using iOS 7, Wi-Fi may appear to turn on and off in Control Center, but Wi-Fi won't respond.
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.

  • Can I import a list of services into Group Policy Preferences \ Control Panel Settings \ Services?

    Hello,
    We want to control server services with Group Policy Preferences via the Group Policy Preferences \ Control Panel Settings \ Services.  By starting from scratch, I don want to manually add each Service here.  Can I import a list of Services
    here, then go back and config the properties?
    I appreciate the help.
    Thanks for your help! SdeDot

    > with settings, however I don't see a way to import that list.
    Usually, there's no need for that. Most people only configure services
    that aren't already configured the way they should be after an OOBE
    install...

  • Windows Color Management in Control Panel Settings?

    I know enough to disable color management in the printer driver when I enable my photo editing software (PS Elements) to handle color management.
    However, what should thecorrect setting for Color Management be in the Windows 7 Control Panel.
    Assuming I have selected my printer in the device setting and have uploaded the ICC profile for my printer in = Windows Color Management in the Control Panel
    do I check the box next to "Use my settings for this device" ?
    do I select "Automatic (recommended)" or "Manual" in the Profile Selection box ?
    do I check  "Use as Default Profile" for my paper's ICC profile ?
    or will my graphics program automatically override all the settings in Windows Color Management in the Control Panel?
    If the graphics program does not override the Windows control panel settings,  what is the proper  permutation of settings.
    Thanks

    Good question seweavermm.
    Access to video card control (if available) is typically done through either System Preferences on a Mac or the Control Panel on a PC.  The good news is that since you don't know how to do this then it is high probability it is in default mode and is a moot point.  It is my understanding that not too many video cards have  settings that are not reset by the by the actual calibration process itself yet put this step in for completeness.  The more important and common condition that must be done is setting the monitor to a condition that is stable and allows access to its full gamut.  I suggest to read the details of the instruction manual for the OSD controls for your monitor to verify that the default conditions meet those chacterisitcs.  Typical gotchas would be defaulting to sRGB color space which would limit the colors you could see or having a mode set that does anything dynamic such as scene adjusted brightness.  Another gotcha is when the monitor and software allow adjusting brightness for the ambient light - best to control the ambient light and have the monitor at a constant brightness so as not to invalidate any calibration/profiling done with the monitor.  Note that changing any OSD settings and fiddling with monitor conditions invalidates the calibration done as the calibration is only valid for the fixed conditions of the monitor at the time of calibration.  That was a lot more then the question you asked yet wanted to put things in perspective.  Hope this helps.

    Vivian,
    Is this a double-post, as I see the same thing in the PrE forum, on this THREAD?
    Exactly which version of Premiere are you using? PrE and PrPro are somewhat similar, but different enough that one should post to the specific forum, as users of PrE might not know PrPro, and vice versa. Also, directions for one might not translate to the other - similar, but different.
    Let us know about which version of Premiere you are using. If PrE, then the MOD's can delete this post. If PrPro, then the MOD's might want to branch off that Thread's Replies to here, as some material has already been covered there.
    Good luck,

  • HP UPD PS "device settings grayed out"

    Our HP CP2025xs were not printing certain PDFs correctly using UPD PCL5 or 6 - "Fuzzy text"  (PDFs printed fine to other manf. printers)  HP suggested using UPD PS  which fixed the "Fuzzy text" problem.  However with the UDP PS driver all the "device settings" are "grayed out".  For example:  "Tray 3" is set to not installed (even though it is) and we can't select the field to change it.  Any ideas would much appreciated...

  • Sql 2012 integration services settings grayed out

    Our DBAs are trying to change some settings for integration services by following this article:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337083.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    however everything on the properties window is grayed out. I have the same issue despite being a local admin on this server. 
    Are there any other settings I need to change to gain access to this? I can change all other settings under dcom config 

    Hi vanquish12,
    Please make sure that you right click on “Component Services” and select "Run as Administrator" to start up “Component Services”.
    However, if the integration services settings are still grayed out, the issue could be due to permission restrictions on your system. Please perform the following steps to solve this issue.
    1. Right-click on SQL Server Integration Services 11.0 and select Properties in Component Services/Computers/My computer/DCOM Config. In the General tab, record the Application ID of SQL Server Integration Services 11.0.
    2. Start the registry editor (regedit), find the following key, then right click it and select Permissions, add your account in the Permissions dialog and grant full control rights to your account.
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{ Application ID of step 1}
    3. Check that if integration services settings are enabled in Component Services.
    For more details, please review the following link.

  • Ichat settings grayed out after 10.6.4 update

    I just updated from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4. I quit all services prior to installing the update. I ran the update, the machine restarted. I logged in and ran disk utility and repaired permissions. I restarted all services, but noticed ichat was already started and there is no option in Server Admin to Stop ichat. Also, all settings for ichat are grayed out.
    I tried running 'sudo serveradmin settings jabber' from terminal and get the following:
    jabber = emptydictionary
    I can start and stop ichat through terminal, but I have no control of ichat through Server Admin.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    The server name is currently
    Current HostName = 66-195-146-6.static.twtelecom.net
    as it gets its host name from the reverse lookup on the IP address you give the server. To ensure the server works at it was designed to, you need to have your ISP change they reverse record for your IP address 66.195.146.6 to the name users.tailored.com. Then rerun the command *sudo changeip 66.195.146.6 66.195.146.6 66-195-146-6.static.twtelecom.net users.tailored.com* and it should clean up your server settings and hopefully fix the problem with the ichat settings being grayed out.
