WinXP 64 Bit Drivers for T61 Thinkpad (7661-G28)

I installed Vista64 on an additional drive and was constantly running into application crashes as well as what apppears to be system pauses when a window was in focus. Things just froze and if you brought up task manager they would start responding again. I installed windows Vista Ultimate (SP1) for this. I was trying to take advantage of all my memory in the system 4GB brecause I am trying to setup a demo disk with Virtual Workstation so I need the memory for the virtual environment.
Anyway I gave up (after learning about how to remove the new Vista boot loader on a dual boot machine) and decided to go back to 64 bit XP to get a stable system. The problem with this is of course the lack of driver support for 64 bit XP on thinkpads. I have read most of the posts in the forum on 64 bit options for XP and I have tried all of the suggestions for them. I still do not have but one drivers active. I was able to get the Ethernet driver working but still can not load the wireless (4965AG), audio(SoundMax Digital HD AUdio), SM Driver, or video (Intel 965 Chipset) drivers. Has anyone had any luck with a model T61 and 64 bit drivers for Windows XP(64)?
Any help is appreciated.

i've never tried before but my personal opinion, it won't work.

Where exactly do I find drivers for my ThinkPad Yoga?

I'm trying to find the exact driver download page for my device. According to the label on the bottom, my device has the type 20C0-S0AX00. Searching for this on the driver download page does not find that model - but I'm pretty sure that my device really exists :-)
Where can I find the drivers?

Windows 7/Vista Drivers for IBM thinkpad X40

I had just upgraded from windows xp to windows 7 because of a operating system malfunction. When I first logged in I found out that my sound wouldn't work. I knew that a new part of windows 7 is that drivers come from windows update. I got updates for drivers, but not for sound. I went to device manager and try to check my sound device, and found that my sound device has dissappearred. Do I need drivers to solve the problem, or this is problem that can't be fixed. If I can fix it with a driver, can I get the windows vista driver for sound.
P.S I already went to the website for the driver http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-54078.html
It said the driver for vista is already on the operating system, and that does not work for me!!

If you are still using windows 7,try using the inbuilt troubleshooting system.

Satellite X200-23G - Need some drivers for Windows 7

Hello buddy !!
In first place, I'm Brazilian and I have some dificulties to speak in engilsh.
Let's to go to the problem:
I had been installed Windows 7 Ultimate here in my Satellite X200-23g (PSPBUE), but, I'm not find some drivers. Are the drivers: Video Card, Biometric Coprocessor, PCI Memory and Storage Massive.
I hope that can someone helps me.
For now, thanks for everyone !!!

Hi buddy,
All drivers can be downloaded on the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
I have checked the page and it seems that for Windows 7 are no drivers available. I think its why Satellite X200 is pretty old.
But from my own experience I can say that the most Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7. You should check this too! ;)

ThinkPad W530 with the Quadro K1000M or K2000M? BTSBEST coupon expires tomorrow!

I've been looking for a good 15" Ivy Bridge laptop that will last four or five years without breaking or becoming totally obsolete. The ThinkPad W530 fits these criteria. I'll be using it for playing Portal 2 and Minecraft, watching (and sometimes encoding) 1080p video, developing graphical and other programs (fractal renderers, procedural generation, etc), and web design. Programs I run include Eclipse, VMware, x264, Photoshop, and Firefox (with pretty many extensions, userscripts, and tabs).
I'm getting the Intel Core i7-3610QM, 1600x900 display (for 1080p I'd use an external monitor larger than 15"), 4GB RAM and 320GB hard drive (I can upgrade them myself more cheaply), and Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 AGN. So: which graphics card should I get, the K1000M or K2000M? The K1000M has 192 pipelines at 850MHz; the K2000M has 384 at 745MHz. Is having twice as many shaders worth an extra $250 for my purposes? Four years from now, will the K2000M be acceptable while the K1000M is obsolete? And if I do get the cheaper K1000M, should I upgrade to the Core i7-3520M for $50 or the i7-3720QM for $85? (Why does the dual-core 3520M cost more than the quad-core 3610QM?)
The BTSBEST coupon is saving me $300 on this configuration, but it expires tomorrow, so I need to make a decision. Thanks for any advice!
ThinkPad W530 (Intel Core i7-3610QM, NVIDIA Quadro K2000M, 4GB DDR3, 320GB 7200RPM, 15.6" 1600x900, Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300)

Hello Rangi42,
Personally I would go with the K2000M. I am a big gamer and that graphics card would be great for Minecraft and Portal 2. Graphics should run smoothly. I would agree on the RAM and hard drive upgrade, maybe an SSD to make the computer run faster and smoother.
I am not sure why the price of the 3520M is cheaper than the 3610QM.
The w530 in general is a great computer for graphics development like your web design. Video editing is good on the W530 as well.
Hope this helps,
Alex

ThinkPad W530 Review

Just wanted to give a heads up about a review of the W530 that's written by a user who owns the W520, so it's heavy on comparisons which is kind of helpful if you're familiar with that machine. I'll quote the whole review below sans all the images to prevent bandwidth warnings! Also truncated and removed some sections to get under the 20,000 character count limit Full review with images is here: http://www.laptopreviews.com/lenovo-thinkpad-w530-review-2012-07
Just like last calendar year, Lenovo is ahead of Dell and HP in releasing a workstation equipped with the latest and greatest Intel Core processors and nVidia Kepler professional graphics. Starting at $1,299 on Lenovo.com (which is the same starting price as the W520 when it was introduced), the Lenovo Thinkpad W530 can be configured with processors ranging from the Intel Core i5-3320M to i7-3610QM to the top-end i7-3290XM, supports up to 32GB RAM and 270 nit 95% color gamut FHD display for demanding business customers. The W530 is like the W520 in many ways as a professional workstation laptop.
The Thinkpad W530 under review comes with the following specs:
Processor: Intel Core i7-3520M (2.9GHz, TurboBoost to 3.6GHz, 4MB L3 cache)
Graphics: nVidia Quadro K1000M
Memory: 8GB RAM DDR3-1600MHz
Display: 15.6” 1600 x 900 resolution, matte finish
OS: Windows 7 Professional
Storage: 500GB 7200RPM
Battery: 6-cell Li-Ion, 57Whr
Wireless: Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205
Ports: Gigabit Ethernet, VGA, mini-DisplayPort, powered USB 2.0, USB 2.0, USB 3.0 (x2), combination headphone/microphone jack, ExpressCard slot (34mm), SDHC reader, 1394
Weight: 5.95lbs (2.7kg)
Keyboard
Let’s just start off with the most obvious change. The new keyboard is the most radical change in the ThinkPad line since…forever, really. Up until now, the ThinkPad series has had the same keyboard style since introduction, with minor changes here and there. Replacing the traditional 7-row ThinkPad keyboard is the island-style 6-row keyboard, found on the whole range of ThinkPad's, from the 12” X230 all the way up to this 15.6” workstation. Even with the changes, the surface of each key has stayed the same during the transition (1.5cm by 1.5cm for the alphanumeric keys) as well as the spacing between each key (roughly 0.4cm). Other keys, such as Caps Lock, Enter, Shift, Backspace, etc., have stayed the same size as well, though the Caps Lock key no longer has an indicator light. Notable differences include shape changes in the Esc key, Delete key, moving the power button from top-center to top-right, and the lack of a dedicated Menu key. However, the most important changes in key layout are as follows:
The layout of the “special keys” (Delete, Home, End, PgUp and PgDn) has been dramatically rearranged on the new keyboard
The dedicated Forward/Back buttons are now gone. These buttons used to be located to the right/left of the Up Arrow key and are now replaced with the PgUp/PgDn keys
The Print Screen button is now located where the Menu button should be.
The Scroll Lock and Pause buttons have disappeared, though they have been relegated to near-oblivion in today’s world
And just for change’s sake (as far as I know), Lenovo decided to paint the Enter key black instead of the traditional ThinkPad blue and the Windows key is bigger on the W530 than the W520 (1.5cm squared vs. 1cm squared).
To those coming from an older ThinkPad, the newer keyboards are either something to love or something to hate. The older keyboard in previous generations were renowned for their quality and keyboard feel (certainly, they were one of the best laptop keyboard on the market) and is so popular that it has an almost religious following among ThinkPad users. On the flip side, the newer keyboard has a lot to prove to the ThinkPad community. While the common-used alphanumeric keys have the same area and spacing as the old keyboard and the typing quality on it is above average (compared to other island-style keyboards), Lenovo’s choice to move and kill off some special function keys fly in the face of what most ThinkPad users would want. I love using the Forward/Back buttons while browsing the internet and using Windows Explorer, for example, but with the current and likely future ThinkPad's killing those buttons off, I will miss being able to navigate with just my right pinkie. The choice to move the Print Screen button to the bottom of the keyboard just baffles me, period. It would have been nice if Lenovo had kept the 7-row layout while designing the new keyboard and if the keys had stayed in pretty much the same positions during the change (for example, “special keys” staying in the top-right, bringing back the Forward/Back buttons), I wouldn’t make too much fuss over the new style even though I personally prefer traditional keyboards. At least the Fn button stays in the bottom-left corner, an odd quirk that’s been featured on ThinkPad's for as long as I can remember.
Build and Design
Just like the W520 before it, the newer W530 is a tough machine, built well and meant to last. The outside casing of the laptop is made using ABS plastic, while the inside contains an internal rollcage to protect internal electronics in case of a drop or other accident. It also makes the laptop all but impossible to flex (there’s maybe a millimeter or two of flex when twisting the display). There is a keyboard draining system that will protect the laptop in the event of a small liquid spill onto the keyboard as well. Sturdy, metal hinges attach the display to the body of the W530, and they are firm enough to hold any angle they are set up despite any typical vibrations or other movements, and if the W520 is any indicator, they will stay firm for years to come.
As I’ve mentioned in my Thinkpad W520 review, Lenovo’s business laptops are certainly capable of withstanding a few drops onto the floor. Even with repeated drops, having the power brick fall onto the palm rest from several feet above, and traveling with the notebook unprotected in a backpack for just over a year, I’m sure that the W530 will be able to survive prolonged abuse for years to come.
One thing to note about the W530 (and workstation laptops in general) is the power brick. The version with the K1000M GPU comes with the 135W power adaptor and it’s just slightly smaller and lighter than an actual brick of the clay variety, coming in at 6in by 2.5in by 1.4in and 1.83lbs. Those considering buying a W530 with the K2000M will receive the 170W power adaptor (like my W520), which measures 6.5in by 3in by 1.4in and actually weighs less (1.7lbs) oddly enough.
Display
While the review unit came with a 900p, 220 nit HD+ display, the W530 is also available with a 768p 220 nit display (which I recommend against; 768p needs to stay in netbooks and bargain-bin laptops, not workstations) and a 1080p, 95% color gamut, 270 nit FHD display. Depending on the configuration options, either the 768p is the default and the 900p is a $50 upgrade, or the 900p is the default; the 1080p display is a $250 option, though after owning a W520 with said display, I highly recommend it if it’s in the budget. Both the W520 and W530 use the same model displays.
With the 1080p display to the left and 900p display to the right, the 50 nit difference shows. Compared to the HD+ display, the FHD appears to be noticeably brighter (though in photos, it shows as being more white-washed, though this is due to the camera and not the displays). Colors on the 95% gamut FHD are also more saturated than the HD+ display, though the HD+ display still has colors that pop out well. Black reproduction on either display is good, with both being very dark. Being TN panels, viewing angles on either is just average, though better than on glossy display found in most consumer laptops. Tilt either screen back far enough (they go just past 180 degrees) and colors turn into shades of black or extremely darker versions.
Sound
This is where the W530 makes the W520 look shameful. Owners of the W520 workstation laptop would either have to use an external speaker set, headphones, or have to perform modifications in order to have a laptop that sounds half-way decent. The W520 speakers were low volume (even when at 100%), had no depth, and would sound tinny when playing near 100% and/or playing high-pitch noises.
In contrast, the W530 actually sounds amazing. In my review of the Thinkpad W520, I contrasted the W520 to a Dell XPS 15 with JBL speakers, concluding that the only way to get good sound from a W520 was to use a different sound solution from the internal speakers. However, I feel that the W530 can compete with media center laptops in terms of audio performance, a major plus over the previous generation Lenovo workstation. This is in thanks to different audio drivers (the W520 uses the Conexant 20672 SmartAudio HD drivers, and the W530 uses Realtek High Definition Audio) and Lenovo’s inclusion of Dolby Home Theater v4 software, which I went into detail about in the Ideapad U310 review. In a nutshell, this software includes a few factory-shipped sound profiles and settings appropriate for different usage scenarios, which allow a user to enhance voice quality (in the Movie profile) or to enjoy rich sound when listening to music (in the Music profile and various settings). While the W520 was tinny and lacked bass, the W530 can reproduce sounds from any pitch found in music and gives great bass for a laptop lacking a subwoofer.
Software
Unlike the previous W520, Lenovo’s ThinkPad W530 comes with a bit of bloatware out of the box. Of course, there is the typical trial AV software, Intel WiDi, and Microsoft Office Starter 2010, though this is to be expected in pretty much any laptop bought today. Also included is a trial of Nitro Pro 7, a PDF editing suite, and Corel DVD MovieFactory (Lenovo Edition). Lenovo also includes a cloud storage solution called “Lenovo Cloud Storage by SugarSync”. Skype is also included on the W530 and with the integrated camera, the video coming from the W530 user looks clear and colorful.
Lenovo also includes some excellent software as well. My personal favorite is the Lenovo Power Manager 6, which is like the default Windows power manager on steroids. A user can change system settings (CPU deep sleep, display brightness, ODD power, etc.), idle timers (when to stop the HDD, dimmed display brightness, standby and hibernation), advanced settings (allow/disallow hybrid sleep and wake timers, power management for PCIe, USB, CPU, and system cooling), events and alarms. By default, it comes with six power profiles (Power Source Optimized, Max. Performance, Max. Battery Life, Video Playback, Energy Saver (which actually drains more power than Max. Battery Life, oddly), and Timers off (for when a user wants to use the W530 in a presentation).
The best I can describe Lenovo SimpleTap as being is a Metro-like interface on top of Windows 7; either launching it from the Start menu or the blue ThinkVantage button on the keyboard will activate it, resulting in the traditional Windows desktop being replaced with a Metro-style tile system and a toolbar on the top-right corner. The user can always exit out of this interface by either pressing the Escape key or clicking on the SimpleTap background. The included Thinkpad-branded fingerprint software is also excellent, allowing for a simpler and more secure way to log into Windows; I use it exclusively on my personal W520, though there is a setting to allow a user to log in with a password en lieu of a fingerprint. Last but not least is the ThinkVantage Tools suite, which includes the above ThinkPad applications, plus: Password Vault, Update and Drivers, Airbag Protection (an active protection system for the HDD), Factory Recovery Disks, Messages from Lenovo, Enhanced Backup and Restore, Internet Connections System Health and Diagnostics, and Web Conferencing.
In the case of a fresh Windows install, a user can always download the Thinkpad-branded software from Lenovo’s website. If anything, I recommend keeping the Power Manager software.
Battery Life
Not using Power Manager’s Battery Stretch, the Lenovo Thinkpad W530 was able to last six hours and 46 minutes while having the display brightness set to 5 out of 15 and only using the Intel GPU (Optimus disabled). The 6-cell battery was also able to last five hours and 25 minutes under those same conditions, but also included a 45 minute YouTube video. Using the same settings, but running solely on the K1000M, the W520 manages a battery life of three hours and 52 minutes.
Out of curiosity, I tried installing my W520’s 9-cell battery into the W530, and while it fitted correctly, there were some issues. If a user tries booting with the older battery, the W530 will stop booting and display the following message:
The battery installed is not supported by this system and will not charge. Please replace the battery with the correct Lenovo battery for this system. Press the ESC key to continue.
What that means is that even if the W530 is plugged into its charger, the laptop will still not recharge the battery. This is because the older batteries lack an authentication chip inside of them (found in OEM batteries in the -30 series of Thinkpads). A user can still use an older battery with the system, but will have to find some other means to charge up other than the W530.
User Upgradability
If you know how to use a screwdriver, you can upgrade the W530 yourself with aftermarket parts. Lenovo, in a way, even encourages this by publishing their service manuals online. To access RAM slots 3 and 4 and to access the hard drive bay, all that’s needed is to remove the only two doors on the underside of the laptop, three screws total. This ThinkPad ships with a Hitachi Z7K500 500GB 7200RPM hard drive and no RAM in the last two slots (out of a total of four slots, allowing 32GB of RAM maximum).
To gain access to the rest of the components, there are two additional screws located on the bottom that must be undone. One is located right next to the RAM module door (towards the front edge of the laptop) and the other is located within the RAM module area itself. When these are gone, all one needs to do to remove the keyboard is to slide it towards the display, lift from the bottom edge near the trackpad, and carefully move towards the trackpad. First thing I noticed was that the size, shape, and connector is the same for both the W530’s keyboard and W520’s keyboard, so it might be possible to put an traditional ThinkPad keyboard into this Ivy Bridge system. However, there are additional keys on the W520’s keyboard that are not found on the W530 (Screen Lock, Forward/Back keys, etc.) and the BIOS probably would not know how to handle those extra keys. Anyway, Lenovo ships out this particular system with two sticks of generic Samsung memory (4GB each), an Intel 6205 WiFi card, and a slot for either a WWAN card or mSATA SSD (only one can be installed at a time). If an end user must have both, they could install the mSATA SSD and use an ExpressCard 3G cellular data card externally.
Conclusion
Like its predecessor, the W530 is a functional workstation laptop that’s first out of the gate with an array of Ivy Bridge processors to choose from. It can pack up to an Extreme Edition i7-3920XM, nVidia Quadro K2000 GPU, 32GB of RAM, 1080p display, and up to three system drives -- mSATA SSD, primary HDD bay, and another drive if you replace the optical bay with an Ultrabay HDD caddy. While not equipped with the more expensive options, our review unit is certainly a great workstation that will serve a professional well in any CUDA-based work (CAD, video or photo editing, graphics design, etc.). The most noticeable change between the W520 and W530 is the keyboard, and for a lot of potential buyers it will be a love it or hate it situation. For those buying into the ThinkPad line for the first time, it may not bother you too much. Those who are long-time ThinkPad users (such as myself) will probably be disappointed in the direction Lenovo has gone with the new design, but ignoring the odd arrangement of non-alphanumeric keys the new ThinkPad keyboard is actually a joy to type on. The curved keys fit well around the fingers, just like the old keyboard, and since the spacing between keys are the same it shouldn’t feel too different for those upgrading to a newer ThinkPad.
If history is any indicator, the ThinkPad W530 should not only be the first Ivy Bridge mobile workstation, but will also be the lightest of the bunch as well (the W520 was 5.95lbs, Dell’s Precision M4600 was around 6lbs, and HP’s Elitebook 8650w started at 6.5lbs). My only objective complaint about the W530 (ignoring the keyboard) is that Lenovo did not introduce an option for users to purchase one with a FirePro professional GPU (Quadro’s competition), found in workstations offered by Dell and HP. For those that do not need CUDA, it would have been a great, cost-effective solution while still staying with the legendary ThinkPad line.
Pros
Business-quality durability
Multiple storage drive options
Over 6.5 hours of battery life
IBM warranty support
Vastly improved sound quality (compared to the W520)
Cons
No Forward/Back keys, other missing keys
Cannot use previous-generation Lenovo OEM batteries

I think no one "normally" working will use touch specific elements of Win8! Metro is one part of Win8, but i think normal desktop mode will be preferred by 99 % of the users.
With the new upcoming Microsoft Surface, touch might work well, but i just don't see myself touching my laptop's screen.

ThinkPad W530 2447 3U2 - Best Linux version supported all HW features

Hi Guys, I've tried to install Ubuntu, but with 12.04 LTS, 12.10 and 13.10 I have differents problems, with video (didnt display a second monitor), splash login window appears in black.
What is the OEM version for example Ubuntu? and Where I can download all ubuntu drives for my W530.
Thanks

I think there is no OEM Ubuntu for Lenovo Thinkpad W530. In Ubuntu usually you do not need to collect drivers like in more common operating systems.
I do not have Ubuntu installed anymore, but on my W530 I have used Debian, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and perhaps 2-3 others. Your solution will be similar to this:
If you can plug in your computer to an Ethernet cable, that will make the process easier. After you install Ubuntu, run Update Manager until no more updates. Then open Software Sources, choose repositories you want (I pick them all but not source code). Then open Software Manager or Software Center, Refresh (or update), install any updates it found.
If you know of particular hardware that is not working, try searching the Software Center for it. I always search for "Intel", "Lenovo", "Thinkpad", etc. That solves most issues.
It is difficult to completely answer your question because Ubuntu or Linux do not work the same as other operating systems. The problems you describe could be caused by not having configuration right, even if drivers are already there. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask again.

Nvidia 3D Vision Discover (Red/Cyan) Anaglyph on Thinkpad W530

Is the Thinkpad W530 capable of displaying anaglyph 3d?
According to computer test in the nvidia website, the W530 is capable http://systemrequirementslab.com/cyri_if/1066/0/8174
Giving the result below, but I have not been able to find the setup option in the Nvidia control Panel on windows 7 64-bit

I have "Enable 3D vision" and "Disable 3D vision" in my start menu, and under "Manage 3D settings" there are settings for Stereo Vision, but attempting to run the 3D preview results in an error stating "the primary display adapter does not support 3D vision"
Looks like it could also be the optimus

but that has nothing to do with anaglyph. either way. verde drivers may be of help, once they are released.

TVSU not showing latest drivers for Thinkpad Yoga or updating to the latest software

I'm using Windows 8.1 x64 with a Thinkpad Yoga
I have TVSU (ThinkVantage Software Update) version 5.03.0010 which it updated itself to from a previous version.
However, on the support page for the Thinkpad Yoga:
http://support.lenovo.com/au/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-...
The latest version of TVSU is shown to be 5.06.0020
The current version of TVSU I am using is not updating my Intel graphics driver to the latest shown on the the website above (The latest version on the site is 10.18.10.3855 10/17/2014 whereas TVSU only updated mine to 10.18.10.3383 an older version which isn't available on the website).
I prefer to do everything through automated updates and I have run into errors manually updating. Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is normal. All drivers must go through quality certification before showing up on SU. Typically a 2 month delay from the version posted on the support page.
The absolute newest version would be found on www.intel.com. The support site has the absolute newest version.

Are Graphics Drivers for the Thinkpad Edge E520 going to be brought up to date?

The Lenovo supplied drivers for the Radeon 6630M installed in the E520 haven't been updated since early 2012. Meanwhile ATI released v14 of the drivers just a few months ago (mid 2014). The E520 is now 5 versions behind with it's drivers, and the ATI supplied driver is incompatible.
Does Lenovo have any intention of releasing a compatible version of the latest drivers for the 6630M or are we supposed to muddle along without further support for this piece of hardware?

There are other problems with the old drivers.I can upgrade IE10 to IE11 due incompatibily with this hybrid graphics driver.
I can't update the lastest IE10 security updates for July 2014 due to incompatibily with this hybrid graphics driver.
I'm sure upgraing to IE12 will fail as well.
In January 2016 Microsoft will stop support for IE10 on Windows 7.:

I formated my T43 and reloaded XP, Need the Drivers for everything!!! HELP!

Product ID 2687D3U
Type 2687-D3U
S/N xxxxx
Is there a factory reload disc available?

mikeneschke, welcome to the forum,
you should be able to order recovery discs through support, if not try the market place at ThinkPads.com. Another option would be to install ThinkVantage System Update after a clean install and let it get the drivers for you. You will need to install MS .NET Framework 3.0 first. In order to get online you may need to download your ethernet driver from the T43 Driver Matrice site.
Hope this helps
