Onscreen display with windows 7.
Onscreen display with windows 7.
Sorry if this has been answered before. I have searched but can't find it.
I installed Windows 7 SP1 on my T60
I installed Powermanager 1.48, and it works perfectly.
However. I can't get the onscreen display feature to work.
I installed the latest version of Hotkey features to get the onscreen display, but although it says it installed cleanly, nothing happens on the display when I use the appropriate keys.
Does anyone have the solution for this.

Re: Onscreen display with windows 7.
Make sure "On Screen Display" and "Lenovo Hotkey Client Loader" are both enabled in Windows Services (Start > Administrative Tools > Services; set both to "Automatic").
OSD and LHCL are both dependent on the "Lenovo PM Service", so make sure that is enabled as well (set to "Automatic").

Re: Onscreen display with windows 7.
That's odd, thought I replied to this. Never mind I'll try again.
Thanks USSS. I'll check those things out.
I've restored my XP pro image again for the moment, until I sort out all my unknowns. Then I'll re-load W7 and have another go.
I assume that PM is power manager. That was definitely loaded in W7, as it was working fine.
I've also checked in XP services, and Lenovo PM is running. However neither OSD or LHCL appear in the service for XP.
Does it work differently in W7 Pro?
Thanks

Re: Onscreen display with windows 7.
I last used WinXP in November 2012, and I can't recall if OSD and LHCL appeared in XP's Services list.
So, I launched the XP virtual machine that is part of my Win7 installation, and there were no Lenovo products appearing in the Services list. That likely means that they simply aren't installed in that environment (I don't use the XP VM much at all).
Is there a reason why you were using such an old version of Power Manager on Win7?

Re: Onscreen display with windows 7.
No guarantee, but try installing an older version of Hotkey Features. Try version 3.81.

Re: Onscreen display with windows 7.
Three years ago, I was having trouble getting the onscreen display working in Windows 7 on my Thinkpad T60. But then I went back to XP and forgot about it.
Now though, I've gone back to Windows 7 and fixed the onscreen display. And I've got the old thinkpad green bar version working too, by installing it this way.
Delete hotkey features and full screen magnifier if installed.
Then install Hotkey features using file, 8jvu43ww.exe.
Then go to add/remove programs and remove onscreen display and fullscreen magnifier, LEAVING "Lenovo system interface driver", version 1.05.
Then finally reinstall hotkey features from file 7zvu09ww.exe. This will install "Onscreen Display" version 5.21.00, and "Thinkpad FullScreen magnifier" version 2.04.
Reboot and that's that.

Re: Onscreen display with windows 7.
I had problems with the T430 and on screen display when I changed hdd.... after installing the on-screen display, rebooting the machine about 10 times fixed it I didn't install the magnifier as it serves no purpose for me

Version 3.81

It stumps me every time that the latest version on the official support page is a broken version, but 3.81 is most definitely the functional version all modern versions of Windows.
