Issue with Lenovo T440 windows 7 x64

We have recently got a new laptop the Lenovo T440. I imported the drivers into the deployment share. I also put storage and network drivers in WinPE folder. Once i boot to the PXE and select x64 it loads in to PE and gives an error saying that "the
following network device did not have a driver installed. PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_155A&SUBSYS_221417AA&REV_04." It allows me to retry or cancel. I have booted it to windows found what driver it uses which is a e1d62x64. I have made sure that that
driver was in the WinPE folder but it still isnt working i have even made it pull drivers only from a folder i created with only the t440 drivers. But that didn't work either. I am using PE version 3 (Windows 7) and all drivers i have installed are for Windows
7. If any one could help me with this issue that would be so awesome. I want to get this to work due to us more then likely getting more T440s. The networking hardware is a I218-LM if anyone needs to know that too.

So we just got the t440s's here as well.  We faced a different issue, as the drivers being in the "general" store caused other models to blue screen.
I've got them working now, what I had to do with them is create a custom variable in the customsettings.ini called customdrivers set to no.  If it detects the model, set the variable to t440. 
In the drivers, I have the t440 in their own folder(downloaded the sccm package from lenovo), and all of the others in a folder called general(no conflicts with any other device).  Under advanced configuration, I have two selection profiles as of now,
General, and T440.
In the task sequence, with the inject drivers, I have two inject drivers task.  The first one, which under options, looks for the variable customdrivers to be set to t440, if it isn't it will move on.  If it is found, it will install only drivers
from the T440 Selection profile.
The second one, under options, will only run of customvariables is no.  This uses the general selection profiles.
Neither of these is set to All Drivers.
I know this is not your issue, but these were the steps taken to get the t440's successfully running here, and hopefully similar steps may resolve the issue you are having.
Best of luck.

  • Freezing Issues with Video Playlists - Windows 7 x64, iTunes 10

    OK, I've been troubleshooting this problem to the best of my ability for weeks now. I can't come up with any solution, if anyone has any insight I would greatly appreciate it.
    When playing videos from a playlist when one video ends but before another begins itunes becomes unresponsive. Sometimes a new video will start right away but it's rare, mostly an outright freeze, sometimes a new video will begin after about a minute or two of unresponsiveness.
    This leads me to believe that when itunes is updating the library database files it is somehow getting stuck.
    Interestingly enough, if I skip to the end of a video just to test if it will play the next in sequence it works perfectly. It only does this behavior when a video plays all the way through.
    What I have tried already:
    -Complete re-install of my entire OS after a clean format.
    -Added all itunes files to the exception lists of my virus software (NOD32).
    -Uninstalled virus software completely (same behavior without virus scanning software at all)
    -Ran itunes as an administrator.
    -Removed all devices from the PC with the exception of critical components, plus mouse and keyboard, sound card.
    -Updated all drivers
    -Ran itunes in compatability mode (Vista, XP)
    -Completed all suggested items for "unexpected freezes" in the itunes help section.
    I am running windows 7 x64, i7 @3.06GHz, 6GB Ram.
    Running itunes 10.2.1.1
    I briefly tried to downgrade to itunes 9, this seemed to clear up the problem. This is not a solution to me, I want the shared library features for my ipad.
    All video files play fine in other media players.
    Please help, I'm completely frustrated.

    As much as I loathe thread bumpers I'm still at a loss as how to fix this issue. If anyone has any insight I would greatly appreciate it.

  • Issue with implementing Find window

    Hi,
    I am facing an issue with implementing Find window. The find window everything is working fine, but when I am opening the form I am facing the following error
    'Error: To retrieve the Information in this block, use menu option view -> query by example -> Enter to invoke enter-query mode, then view -> Query by example > Run to run your query..'
    when I click 'Ok', it is navigating to the FInd window.
    How can I avoid the above error message?
    And also after searching, I navigate to the main window to display the records, but the 'Find' torch icon is not getting enabled, how do I that?
    Thanks,
    Ramu

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes, I have the QUERY_FIND trigger with the code as 'APP_STANDARD.EVENT('QUERY_FIND');'
    And also 'first navigation data block ' to my result block. Now that the error is gone, But still the Find Icon is not enabled

  • Any issues with PE7 and Windows 7?

    Hi All,
    I am considering purchasing a second computer. I have had great success with PE7 and Vista, But I can't get Vista on the new Alienware I want to buy. So, has anyone  had any issues with PE7 and Windows 7? I have read many posts where there are issues with PE8 and Windows7.
    Thanks, Stan

    It's a toshiba laptop.
    4 gig DDR3
    core duo
    320 hard drive - partitioned
    I also use a dual screen - 22" lcd monitor
    I don't use it a lot, since I have a desktop.   I've noticed having a
    dedicated video card makes a world of difference in editing.  This might be
    your problem; a dedicated high end video card is the way to go.
    If I do simple compilations I don't have any problems.  I usaully am making
    a DVD of soccer games.  If there is a lot of special effects I'll use my

  • Lenovo T440 windows version

    What is the recommendation for running windows on these laptops. Windows 7 or 8? Im running windows 7 and see alot of instability and freezes. I downloaded lenovo update manager for any critical updates. So all drivers are up2date. Im just wondering whether windows 8 will be better? The laptop is top spec i7 8gb ram so im baffled on why I am getting poor performance by just doing minimal tasks (opening word documents, excel , skype).

    Hi Nishen,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with system freezing on your ThinkPad T440.
    Check if there is any virus in your system, you can use Microsoft security essential to scan.
    Run Lenovo Solutions Center and run hardware scan to verify if there is any hardware issue in the system.
    Boot the system into safe mode option and check if the system freezes in that also?
    Perform clean boot option.  
    Hope this helps.

    All I do is download the x64 bit version of itunes, turn off the AV, install using administrator rights, and reboot.  The application installs fine and it opens up however when I go to use the application it loads about 90% of the itunes store and then throws a windows error box stating the application has stopped responding.

    I have the same issue with Windows 8. I have a brand new computer. All my music was carried over to my new computer from my old computer using the icloud. However, I cannot sync my ipod nano 7 to the new computer. Same thing happens. It says it is synching but nothing happens. I have found that it will allow me to sync my purchased songs but not the rest of the content. I am beyond annoyed. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it and even tried resetting my ipod nano to factory settings. Any advice????

    Verify that power outlet is working with a lamp or other appliance.
    Verify power cord and power module are correct parts for that specific printer. Compare the Output voltage on the power module (the black box) with the listed voltage on the printer where the power cord plugs in. These must be the same
    Remove power cord and power module from printer and power outlet. Separate power cord and module (let stand for 15 seconds)
    Plug Power Cord into Power Module (plug firmly together)
    Plug Power Cord with module directly into WALL outlet (Remove any surge protector or extension cords and plug printer cord directly into wall socket)
    Check to see if power cord or module has LED light.
    If has LED make sure it is glowing (if not glowing then replace power cord and module)
    If no LED  Plug cord into printer - make sure it is plugged in properly and firmly.
    Press power button on printer to power up. If does not power up first time hit power button a few times to see if it works.
    if you happen to have another printer with same power cord configuration (fits specs) try these steps again
    If printer will not become responsive at this point, then you'll need to replace the printer.
     if it is a hardware issue, contact HP support at 1-800-474-6836.  Often there are special offers on replacements available to returning customers who are having hardware issues.

  • Issues with airport and windows XP

    just installed XP on my mac (cant believe i just typed that!) and running airport extreme and expresses (no WEP) and can connect on the macbook running OSX (10.4.6) no problem. boot into XP (pro) and i get a connection, strong signal, all that jazz, but when i launch explorer, no connection. I have tried to ping google.com from the command line, again, nada.
    But the signal strength is good on the XP side, and connecting fine when logged in on the OSX side.

    Beatriz,
    Not that we know of, but honesty forces me to say that we haven't tested it ourselfs yet, since we still use Windows/2000.
    On the other hand, from my experience issues with CDM always were more dependent on the version of the browser
    or Word you are using and less of Windows versions. It would not surprise me if using the Word templates with
    Word from Office XP would know some issues. Those would than be caused by changed behaviour in the way Word
    deals with macro's.
    What the rest of the iDevelopment Accellerator Suite concerns, this can be easily found out by checking the
    compatability of Designer and Developer against Windows XP.
    With kind regards, Jan Kettenis

  • Screen display issue with InDesign CS4 (Windows)

    I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4. I can open and use InDesign with no problems, until I try to switch to another application. Then, when I try to go back to InDesign, all I can see is the portion of the bar at the top of the screen that shows the link to Bridge, the view options and a bit of the outline of a palette or two. I have a two monitor setup. Most of the palettes are on the auxillary monitor and they show up just fine. The main display is where I'm having the issue. I can toggle in and out of Photoshop with no display issues. I haven't tried working with anything else from the CS4 package besides InD and Photoshop. This was not an issue with any CS2 product (Dreamweaver, Fireworks, InDesign, Photoshop, Flash). Nor has it been an issue with any of the other software I am running (so far).
    When the display vanishes, I can see the "data" from the program I was trying to toggle out of. For example, if I try to toggle between this page and InD right now, I can see most of this page except for the part of the page obscured by the outline of the control palette (that one reminiscent of pagemaker) and the little bits at the top. I can't see the project I'm working on. I can't see the File/Edit/etc. bar at the top of the page. A Control/Shift/Save will lock up the program completely. Then, I see the "save as" menu box (in addition to the browser screen around it) but the program is locked up. I can close everything on the computer and reboot and open InDesign to resume work--that is until I need to do something like edit a photo to drop into a layout. Then the issue occurs all over again.
    Windows machine; XP Pro, service pack 3 build 2600; NVidea GeForce 9600 GT graphics card.

    Bob, thanks for the info about the 6.0.2 patch. I'll try grabbing that today. This morning, on the first boot, I can't even see the program when I open it--just the snip of the command palette and part of the very top bar. Very irritating.
    Peter, I have tried maximizing, closing, reopening, etc. everything else I can think of. Same issue. I finally just bit the bullet and went back to CS2, rebuilding the current project so I can get the work done by deadline. I'll look for new video drivers this afternoon after I get back on track timewise on this newsletter. Weird that this display issue should just affect the one Adobe program though, and not the others if it is a video driver problem. I didn't do a lot of work in Dreamweaver--just enough to see if it displayed the same weird behaviour. Nope. Nor does Photoshop. Nor does Bridge. Nor does Acrobat. nor does any other software on the machine.

  • Many issues with WRT160N v3 (Windows 7 related?)

    Ok so here's the story.
    Several months ago I purchased a WRT160N v2. I was connecting four devices. 1 XP machine, 1 Vista machine, 1 PS3, and 1 Xbox 360.
    The XP machine is using Wireless-N PCI Adapter model no. WMP300N. The Vista machine is using a Wireless-N USB Network Adapter with Dual-Band, model no. WUSB600N
    The process was fairly straight forward and I was successful in getting everything set up correctly. It worked great for the most part barring any unexpected wireless crashes. 
    A few weeks ago I accidentally bricked the router when trying to upgrade the firmware. It was my mistake and I should have been thinking but it happened. I was able to get a replacement from Linksys and I received the WRT160N v3
    Sadly this router hasn't provided me with the same easy of installation.
    Right now the situation is a little different than before. I am running a Windows 7 machine right now. It's up to date and working great. I haven't noticed any issues with the OS other than some random driver issues here and there. 
    I first attempted to just plug the router into my modem to see if my Windows 7 machine would automatically see it and connect. To my surprise it actually did. It connected and I was able to get online.
    But here's the problem, my speed when connected was horrible. It would range anywhere from 75-1Mbps. For comparison, when on Windows XP I would get a locked 130Mbps. In addition to that, the LAN connection will not work. At all. It see's the connect, it shows it's connected and online. Then when I attempt to get online it fails and knocks me back to local access only.
    I then attempted to set up the connection using the included disc for v3. This was problematic due to compatibility issues I assume. It didn't fair any better. 
    The final thing I did was plug my computer directly to the router without connection to the internet and disconnected from the Wireless and attempted to upgrade the firmware. THIS PROCESS WAS SUCCESSFUL. It did not fail and brick the router. I did it correctly this time. To repeat, this did not brick the router. 
    Ok, so I guessed it was due to Windows 7? I called Linksys up and they said they were unable to support the unreleased beta OS. I'm fine with that.
    Next I decided to see if I could get my Vista machine online. With this I decided to run through the setup process that comes with router. I followed the steps to the T. Doing exactly what they told me to do. When it finished it showed it did have connection to the Internet. When the Linksys Easy Link Advisor started up and attempted to get me on wireless, it failed. It shows it lost connection and was unable to regain connection. Attempting to statically assign myself an IP address fails as well. 
    Using the LANA port with this router on the Vista machine works perfectly. 
    Right now I'm falling back to a very very old router. It's a Linksys Network Everywhere NR041 wired router. This router works rock solid with my Vista, Windows 7, PS3, and 360 all plugged in and only has some minor overheating issues (common with this model). 
    My questions:
    Does the WRT160N v3 have issues with  Windows 7?
    Why exactly am I have so many issues with it at all?
    Are there issues with my wireless card and Windows 7?
    Would the compatibility issues cause the LAN connections to fail between the router and my Windows 7 machine?
    Is there a better router solution for me?
    I would prefer to not have to revert back to Windows XP as I am enjoying Windows 7. 
    I would appreciate any help I can get as I'm fairly unhappy with these two products so far. 
    Thank you. 

    There is a compatibilty issue with the Wireless Adapter and Windows 7 as it seems there are no specific Windows 7 Drivers to install the adapter...So basically that could be the reason why Windows 7 keeps loosing the Wireless Connection...
    Also remember to reset the router to factory defaults after any firmware upgrade, then setup the router again from scratch.  If you have not done this since your last firmware upgrade, please do this now and see if it corrects your problem.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    To reset the router press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    Don't use the CD to re-configure the router, instead do a manual setup...
    If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
    If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
    Also adjust the Wireless Settings on your Router - 
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...
    Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
