Lenovo T530, Windows 7 PRO, Lenovo Power Manager 6.68.15 (n1au415w.exe). At startup the battery icon that shows percentage of battery remaining is partially obscured on the task bar. (see screen capture) I can toggle the Lock status on the task bar and the icon will reappear correctly. I have...

I have it working now. I examined the 'group policy settings'. I found them all set to default. I removed 'pictures' and 'music' from the start menu. I restarted and suddenly the counter on 'how many items to keep' wasn't grayed out any more??? So - I honestly don't have a clue as to what I did...

Windows 7 Pro SP1. Customize Start Menu option 'Recent Items' IS checked. Nothing shows up in C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent. Anyone got any ideas as to where to start looking? Maintenance is current. TIA for any help received. Bob Helms

Yes that "blue circle" is what I'm referring to. If it does indicate "establishing a connection" I'm trying to understand why it does not go away after establishing a connection and using multiple web sites? I'm also wondering who / what is responsible for displaying it in the first place and...

My W7 system tray network icon "normally" shows a terminal with a wired network symbol in the upper left corner of the terminal and nothing in the lower right corner. It has shown a yellow exclamation ! symbol in the lower right corner of the terminal, I know that means "no service". It has also...

My network icon in the System Tray shows an exclamation point, connection is up and working. Troubleshooting finds no problems. Reboot, icon now normal. Windows 7 Pro-64, Lenovo T500, Intel 82567LM adapter, Netgear WNDR3700, Time Warner RR High Speed. Any ideas, opinions? TIA for your help.

I made all those changes to my W7 PRO-64 imageres.dll. It turned out quite well. However I recently supplemented my laptop display with a 24" LED monitor with built in speakers. Now when I boot my startup sound will randomly be incomplete, i.e. I only hear the very end of it. I have not figured...

Hi Anna1345; The "path" to my Thunderbird files on my W7 PRO-64 laptop is; C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\ With the exception of "Bob" yours should be the same. I went through a conversion and was quite pleased with how easy it was. Hope this helps. Bob Helms

I'm trying to locate a gadget or tool that will allow me to see logical hard drive(s) activity through icon(s) in the system tray. All I want to see is activity, no graphs or stats needed. I've tried HDDLed and either I can't understand the doc or the doc doesn't allow for a W7 Pro-64 Lenovo...

Here is a "it just worked" experience. Lenovo T500 W7 Pro-64, Intel Chipset updated to V8.15.10.2226 GM45 Driver and a ViewSonic 24" monitor. Plugged the monitor into my 2504 mini dock D-SUB port, powered it up, booted W7 and everything just came up. Put the T500 display in standby mode...

I figured it out, one of them DUH! experiences. Just look for the new icon where ever it lives using Browse and then add it. No need to add anything to pnidui.dll.

I want to add additional icons to the 'system32\pnidui.dll' file. That's where you pick which icon you want to represent the active named network in the Network And Sharing Center. I did a search in this forum on 'network icons' but didn't find anything. Aside from all the permissions...

So you're saying there is no way to delete it as long as the adapter is physically in the (Lenovo T550 Laptop) machine.

From this location---> Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings There is a Disabled network connection there that I want to delete. It's named "Wireless Network Connection 4". It's associated with a Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter. Right click shows the...

Captain Jack, Don't know why I couldn't find the "hide update" thing. Thanks for pointing it out. Windows firewall is on, default settings, no 3rd party. I will save your Windows Update reset instructions for future reference but for now I'll just operate without KB982134 & KB982670. Thanks...
