Save what repairs or tweaks you did on 1 PC and transfer them to another computer to do the same tweaks maybe. Like the ability to save the information to a file that the program reads then load the file on the other computer.
 (I feel like it already saves the tweaks with the portable version ;-; )

Could use the program as a way of adjusting services like you can in the msconfig, but gives explanation to what the service will affect.


This is harder then I thought it would be.   

edit- Or have error codes listed on the program, for blue screens, or exception errors.. And maybe the causes or fixes for them.

I did this when I had issues with the battery. Which worked.

But that was 2 years ago. I really don't know how doing this slipped my routine of fixing.



I am so very glad I remember its importance, Now I need to go install 300 updates. ;-;

Thank you again though.

Oh my god. OH MY GOD.

It actually worked O_o

Yeah that full reset worked.


Thank you guys for helping,
I most certainly wouldn't have thought to have done that one.

Welp lets further add to this.

I got both those drivers, Yes.

I read the article and I have everything setup to start up.

Though I don't have Lenovo battery management, Just Lenovo Power Management. Granted I don't think theres much of an issue
in that.

And I confirmed it wasn't hardware related because, in the bios I set it so I don't use the FN key for those.

So now F1 will unmute or mute instead of just being F1.

But Fn+F1 will be F1.


Flipped em.

That and Vista is the first OS I bought on my own.


Erm. Anyway. Is it possible the hotkeys not working isn't driver related? I mean it DID stop working on its own out of the blue before reinstalling windows.

Though I would assume the reinstall would have fixed that.

I never had issues with it. Far less then Windows 7.

Rather backwards but with some tweaking even Vista runs fine.

I installed Vista instead. I have a list of reasons as to why I prefer it over 7. Thas for some other time though.


But the other issues were slowdowns, the CPU usage skyrocketing, the shutdown hanging, some .exe didn't work etc


Anyway. You were right doesn't matter which OS because its still a problem and I don't know what else I can actually do now.

I thought I had the right software but I guess I don't. Theres only 1 driver on there site thats for hotkeys so I had that. And from the link provided I got the right power manager I think.
Not sure if its the right one but its working fine. They don't have one listed for some reason I had to go hunt it down, but this laptop was supported in the readme.

Well at least the other random oddities are gone.

I didn't have this driver, I normally did so everything fit. But after getting it, and confirming it works. Since the power manager icon is in the lower corner again.

But the hotkeys STILL aren't working.

How frustrating heh.

Maybe I just didn't get the right links..
Kind of have insomnia this week, not thinking correctly.



Not to jump ahead, but I am actually having multiple issues with this installation. Since I haven't done anything beyond updates and drivers I am going to just reinstall. Won't take anymore then 30 minutes, See if thats all it is.

General Computer Support / FN + F1-F12 Hotkeys not working WIN7

« on: March 27, 2014, 05:57:59 am »

So basically on my fresh install of Windows 7 on my ThinkPad Edge 15 (0319-46U)

The hoykeys aren't working for controlling anything with my FN + F1 - F12 Such as the volume and brightness.

I got the driver for it I believe from lenovo's site It was labeled
"Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit), 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), XP and 2000 - ThinkPad ... Learn more"

Which is normally what I needed last install. However on my previous Win7 install it randomly stopped working but didn't care too much since I was planning this fresh install anyway.

As it turns out the problem is still here and I am not quite sure why.

I already scanned with MalwareBytes Pro
I updated the computer (Carefully to ensure I didn't get outdated Windows Update drivers) All successfully.
Googled.
I enabled the "Human Interface Device Access" option in services which wasn't running.


And probably other random stuff I tried. The onscreen display of these, like if I manually adjust the volume, it shows the bar in the middle of my screen moving so I know the Lenovo driver I installed is working.

On my other Vaio laptop everything like this worked right away even without drivers so I don't really know whats up.

Any ideas?

 EDIT

I also forgot to mention that since I use FN + F1-F12 or whatever to do stuff I also can't use it in my games anymore where FN + F7 would normally display my framerate it no longer works.

Don't know if thats useful or not >.<
