NEW THINKPAD OWNER SEEKING HELP

Hello everyone-
I am a new ThinkPad owner.  I purchased a used T40 recently and love it. I installed Windows7 on it (it came with W7, but I wiped the hard drive clean and re-installed).
I do have a few issues I was hoping to get some help on.
Nothing happens when I hit the IBM Access button.  I know the button itself works because I’ve used it to get into the BIOS.  I read on the Lenovo website that I have to get a separate driver to use with Windows7, but I have note been able to find it.  Does anyone know where I can find it?
Also, my ThinkPad has a 32G ATI Radeon 9000 video card, but I don’t think I have the proper driver for it because Windows installed a Standard VGA driver and I am not able to use Aero (which I was before).  I’ve searched both ATI and Lenovo websites for a driver. Any idea where else I can find it?
Thanks for your help.
T40 2373-94U
ATI Radeon 9000, 32MB

Recovery parition can only be installed from IBM/Lenovo recovery media, and for your machine these were only available in W2K and XP. You'll never be able to have a proper recovery partition with W7, even if you were to install the OS from recovery media for T400, since the hardware is way too different.
You can't install a better video card, since the card itself is soldered to the motherboard. You could swap an entire motherboard. How cost-effective this would be in the long run is up to you to decide.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
George

  • Semi-New Mac owner need help please!

    I have had my Mac for a couple months now and I haven't experimented with all the applications yet, when I tried to open iChat all that it does is the little light underneath it turned on and nothing popped up. I don't know if I need to download anything else, or what... Can anyone help me please?!

    It seems that others have pointed the Hosts to the Duplicates and this one's left.
    I take it the issue is solved anyway ?

  • New MBP owner needs help with iTunes

    I just bought a new MBP and I have all of my music (iTunes) on my old Windows XP PC. There is about 100mb of music and I'd like to keep it all on that hard drive as I don't want to load up my MBP HD.
    I do want my MBP to be the main account for iTunes so I can make changes to tags and rating but I just want it to use the files on the networked HD. It is not necessary that I keep iTunes on the Win XP machine.
    One more thing, if possible, I would like to keep a copy of only my 4 & 5 Star rated songs on my MBP (about 10GB) for when I am away. I cannot figure out how to do this. I can sort them in iTunes or create a playlist for these but I don't know how to export copies of only those files. Does anyone know how I can do this?

  • New mac owner needing help & advice

    Hi there , at long last I took the plunge and got a macbook, one of the new 2.2ghz ones in white. Just thought I would let you know. Anyway as this is my first experience of a mac , which also has a new OS for me to learn, I am probably going to ask loads of stupid, and what could seem obvious questions so let me apologize now. My first question is with regard to backing up my system,it looks as though this has to be done to an external HD does this need to be a dedicated HD or can it be shared with other items such as movies and music etc. I have also seen mention a program called carbon copy cloner being used for backup ,what is the difference between this and Time machine in leopard i.e. which is best. And as my laptop is going to be used in different places and i wont have the HD connected all the time will this affect any automatic backup set up.

    First let me say welcome aboard.
    Carbon copy cloner can make a bootable copy on a back up drive. Time Machine makes a copy that you can do a full recovery from if needed so in a way they're both good. I have used Time machine with a hard drive that had other stuff on it and it did not interfere with it. It was a partition with a bootable Tiger setup on. Time Machine filled almost all the space on the partition and I could still boot the Tiger copy. I have used Time Machine to recover from a complete mess up to just replacing one file. It has worked great.
    You don't have to worry about the Hard Drive being hooked up all the time. Time Machine will sense the drive is not there and stop until it is hooked back up and pick up right where it left off.
    As David said it is best to have a hard drive dedicated to Time machine but you can get by with one tht isn't.
    Don't worry about asking questions. Remember there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

  • How do I get support for Windows 7 on, and a W7 backup disk for, my new ThinkPad?

    I know these have got to be stupid questions, since I am sure that they have to have been asked before (unless they are clearly explained somewhere that everyone else has found, and I am somehow completely missed it), but I did search the forums and was surprised NOT to find any info on getting Windows 7 technical support after it was factory installed in a month-old Thinkpad. I wonder if the apparent defects in my W7, or maybe a different problem in my browser, could be affecting my ability to search to forums?
    I believe that my Windows 7 is defective, but calling Lenovo, they just talked about reinstalling Win7 from the partition, which makes no sense, if my W7 copy is defective, wouldn't the copy in the partition be defective too? My mom said she ordered a $20 W7 backup disk with the PC, but I never received it, and now Lenovo tech tells me those aren't actually available, and she must have confused it with the W7 upgrade disk, which didn't sound right, since I thought the upgrade disk was over $100, and I never received that one either anyway. If the W7 that was factory-installed is defective, I am assuming it's a copy of the same one in the partition, so that partition recovery is not feasible, is there any way to reorder a W7 re-install disk that will still register as Genuine Windows 7 on a Thinkpad? Now when I search the Lenovo site, I cannot find ANY W7 disks of any kind, neither a backup for factory-installed W7, nor for upgrade from a prior Windows version. Does anyone know how I could go about re-ordering the W7 backup disk when it appears to be missing from the online catalog? Unless this too is a defect in my browser search: can someone give me the link to page where I could select and re-purchase a W7 backup disk?
    It has been a few years since I had a new PC, but I have never even heard of one before that did not come with instruction manuals and OS and support disks, and did not provide any tech support for its own factory-installed software or Windows, at least during the first few months of ownership. Where do new Thinkpad owners turn for individual W7 software support, since Microsoft swears it is Lenovo's responsibility to support W7 under its OEM license, yet Lenovo swears they only support hardware? It almost seems that new users are expected to know everything already, or be initiated enough with the product to know exactly what your problem is and what's causing it, in order to find an online fix. Who do you call if W7 or Lenovo software (but not an ISP issue) appear to be doing something to prevent online access, but there are no discernible hardware issues? Where do you call for individualized W7, as well as Lenovo software, support, especially after no one online has ever heard of your specific issues and has no workable ideas for fixing them, or when your problem prevents you from getting online at all?
    Thanks so much

  • Need help-buyin​g decision new thinkpad

    i am a foreign person who want to buy a laptop .since the price of thinkpad in America is more acceptable and the qulity more reliable than in my country, i d like to ask one of my friend who is now in the us to buy a thinkpad for me.the question is that he knows little English and has some difficulty in communicating with American people.
    so who can tell me when and where to buy a thinkpad of high qulity while at low price in your country?
    By the way ,my friend lives in Indiana.what is the tax rate there?
    i am looking forward to an early reply and thank you in advance for your help. 
    moderator note: subject line adjusted to match the topic.

    i am assuming you are going to buy a new thinkpad laptop and not a second hand one?
    Which particular model are you after? if the T400, T500, W500 and R400/R500 is okay for you, then head to outlet.lenovo.com.
    P.S. Please update your location to actual country or city.

  • Cleaning up my new Thinkpad need help with what to Uninstall

    So I finally got my new thinkpad T520 set up with Windows 7 and I currently have all the prepackaged Lenovo Programs and thinkvantage tools installed. I am trying to optimize my system right now and I am wondering which programs I should keep and which I should delete.
    I already have Revo uninstaller, CCleaner, and ESET NOD32 smart security antivirus so I already have some good utilities to clean my system.
    Basically if anyone could help me determine which lenovo programs to keep and which to uninstall I would be very greatful. I dont need this computer to be a screamer, but I would like a stable computer that is as fast as possible.
    Thanks

    from your list, i don't use the following:
     Screen reading optimizer
     Simple tap
     Solution Center
     AutoLock
     Communications utility
    truthfully, Lenovo's factory load is lighter than most every other OEM load i've worked with.
    if you want to further optimize your machine's running state, you should have a look at the blackviper site to dig through your running Windows services. even if you choose not to modify anything, it's quite educational. http://www.blackviper.com/
    you can also go through your system's start-up programs and what-not. apps like acrobat reader install update checkers that load at every boot and run in the background. i like a Microsoft tool named Autoruns for this task. it's part of the Sysinternals suite. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/sysinternals

    I just bought my T530 on Monday. I'm loving it. I'm a first time Thinkpad owner. I have always admired them and have been surrounded by friends/family who have owned/own Thinkpads.
    One question...
    I did see a link on Lenovo's welcome site on the first boot of my new laptop for the $14.99 Windows 8 upgrade offer. I tried clicking the link and nothing happend. I tried searching Lenovo's site and google as well but haven't found the 'form' to fill out to apply for this offer.

  • Help! I need a new ThinkPad!

    Hi, The time has come that I require a new ThinkPad. I am so glad I stumbled upon this forum, so I have no fear of people trying to suggest other laptops. I'm not interested.
    My first one was an iSeries ThinkPad, still the most beautiful computer I have ever seen, with the best keyboard I have ever used. It eventually became too slow for my needs. I currently have a T42, and it has the same problem: too slow. Otherwise, it meets my needs quite fine.
    I had a tough time deciding on a replacement, but I ultimately went with the ThinkPad Edge (E530). It's very fast, and I like it in its own way, but it has two major problems:
         1. It is not a classic ThinkPad, but an impostor! 
         2. It has Windows 7, not XP.I thought I should buy the fastest and newest ThinkPad available, but I didn't really understand what my needs would be for university. I now realize that for my day-to-day needs, a computer with an i7 processor, HDMI output, USB 3.0, and a fingerprint reader is not necessary. What is more important is a computer that I will be able to love, which to me means it runs Windows XP, has a square screen" (4:3 aspect ratio), and is an actual ThinkPad (meaning it radiates beauty and doesn't have a chiclet keyboard).
    So what I am looking for is the fastest ThinkPad available that meet my needs (or wants rather). If I have to downgrade from Windows 7 or Vista, that is okay, but I'd rather not have to bother.
       Thanks a million,
                          Thomas
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Welcome to the forum!
    The last 4:3 ThinkPad available on this continent was T61. They are more than powerful enough to run *any* OS, and will do great with XP.
    Stay away from models with nVidia graphics since these chips have a manufacturing flaw that wreaked havoc on many Dells, HPs, Macs as well as on R61/T61 series ThinkPads. If you have low gaming requirements, Intel integrated graphics will do just fine.

  • Failing to install windows 8.1/7/ any kind of windows on my imac,seeking help foreal

    Hey there. It's going to be a long post since I've messed with it for 4 days, and still no success even in the time I'm currently writing this message - the furthest I got is having tons of crashes and black screens. And now I can't even reclaim my lost harddrive space (resizing partitions doesn't work anymore).
    I'll start with that I already tried to make Bootcamp work about a year ago, but then quit it out of no success and reverted all the changes. But this time my situation is different - I'm pretty sure something messed up in the middle and now I'm seeking help and answers to my questions. And here we go - one bright day I decided to install Windows 8.1 as a secondary boot system on my iMac for personal reasons. I went and added Bootcamp's ability to make a bootable USB on my mac by changing the plist file, and finally had the option to do so. Then got an ISO of Windows 8.1's installation, burned it to a DVD with disk utility (on the lowest speed) and here's already where my problems started. The disk failed to burn for some unknown reason, even though when I compared the contents it had the exactly same thing in both the ISO and the DVD. Weird isn't it? I still tried to boot it - and guess what? the DVD booted but it had the non-EFI interface (huge and pixelated). Anyway when I pressed next I had some weird driver errors, so I decided to use an USB instead (1 DVD wasted so far). I used Bootcamp to create a bootable USB with drivers and went to boot it. The USB booted perfectly fine under the name "EFI Boot" and then I reached the partitions screen.. Obviously I had weird errors again (GPT/MBR stuff). One tutorial on the web suggested creating a partition for the windows rather than using the Bootcamp pre-made one. I followed it by booting my main system, and using disk utility to delete the Bootcamp partition. Later on I booted again to the installation and created a new partition from the partitions screen. Windows created two partitions - a Microsoft reserved partition, and the secondary partition which is used for the windows files. After some time the windows finally booted for the first time. It took pretty long but went smooth - until it finally booted. Since here the problems returned - the Windows crashed every 5 minutes from a driver error (that's AFTER I installed the Apple drivers right after the system finished booting), I googled it and followed various tuts but it still wasn't fixed. I decided to quit using 8 since I liked 7 more anyway (I currently have it installed as a virtual system in Parallels), so I decided to install 7 instead of 8 since I never had any issues with it. Booted up my main system again - went to Bootcamp Assistant, USB creation. ISO file + drivers on the USB. I reboot. Holding ALT and... my mac can't even see the USB drive! Luckily I had 4 more installations (various ISOs) of Win 7, so I decided to try them. I tried ALL the Installations I in none of them my mac could see the USB drive (I wonder how my USB survived all this rewriting on it...) Again to Google we go. I researched a bit and realized that I'm missing a file called xboot64.efi in the "efi/boot" folder, which can be taken from windows. I tried extracting it from install.wim but none of my archiving apps could open it (I tried Unarchiver, Keka, 7zX, terminal's unrar command and more, none could!). I also realized my Win 8 installation had this file so I added it to the Win 7 USB. Now my mac could see the USB in the boot screen - and it booted. I saw the "loading files" screen, and after one minute of it... black screen. I waited 10 minutes. Then 30. An hour. Still a pure black screen. I thought something is wrong with my file, and read that this file is also found in an already installed Win 7, so I went to parallels and took it from here, then added it to my installation. Again my mac could see the USB, but still no luck. When I pressed enter to boot from it, nothing happened as if the boot screen was stuck - the drive was selected but it didn't do anything. I waited long time again and decided to stop waiting. I tried to burn another DVD, this time with Titanium Toast. Again the DVD failed to burn, and when I checked the content, it was the same as the ISO I tried to burn from (official ISO from Microsoft of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1). I went and booted it - this time I saw again "Windows" and "EFI Boot"in the boot screen, both with a disc icon. "EFI Boot" didn't load like the usb previously (loads forever), so I booted the "Windows" thing. The setup loaded, and finally I could see the installation window. Reached the partitions screen... and here the problems returned once again. An error along the lines of that Windows can't be installed on a GPT partition. Some tuts on YouTube and in Google suggested to simply format the problematic partition. And so I did - yet the problem wasn't fixed. After messing with all that for one more day - trying different installations, ways to boot the USB and DVDs, formatting the Windows partition etc, I decided it's time to stop messing with it since luck definitely isn't in my side when it comes to Bootcamp (and for the record, I never had any issues with OSX, but when I tried adding windows to it.. eh, you can guess.) I booted back to my normal system, and went to disk utility to delete the partitions. The Windows partition was deleted easily, but the Microsoft reserved one.. not so quite. (by the way when I boot into it I get a Win 8.1 error screen that tells me to repair the system, since I formatted the Win partition itself). Until this very moment I still can't delete the reserved partition and return my beloved 30gb that I lost because of the resizing (I can't resize my Mac HD partition).
    I'm really desperate now. I tried everything and the furthest I got is getting a broken Windows 8.1 (which I deleted later), destroying 5 DVDs, shortening the lifespan of my USB drive, and googling errors the whole day for 4 days in a row. And now I can't even return my lost 30gb even after I decided to quit it. Please help or suggest me what to do, whether it's about how to successfully install Win 7 or to return my lost gigabytes, any kind of help is appreciated. If you managed to read so far, thank you for reading my post and I hope you'll be able to assist me and get me out of this situation.

    Read the Boot Camp Help first. Boot Camp does not yet support Windows 8.1 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements. If you insist on installing 8.1 use a virtual machine like parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.

  • A few thoughts and experiences after a few hours using my new ThinkPad E440 with Win 8.1

    After waiting 36 days for my new ThinkPad to arrive, I guess I'm just "eh" about it after using it some. Here are some of my thoughts, opinions, and experiences I've had after using it for a few hours... Hope this helps other people.
    I should not be surprised because I read all the reviews, but the touch pad really sucks. I hate everything about it, the way it clicks - it's so loud and clunky! - and it's insensitivity (and I adjusted this to be more sensitive). Thank goodness for the track point. I love that thing.
    The touchscreen stopped working after a few hours of use. After I rebooted it came back. Is this a bad omen? Or did I inadvertantly turn it off? Is that even possible? I am new to Windows 8 so anything is possible.
    The touch screen, when it's working, is not very responsive. It's MUCH LESS responsive than my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android phone or my LG G Pad 8.3 tablet. This is very disappointing.
    I ran the hardware scan that is in the Lenovo Solution Center and got a warning under the category "Local Connection Test". I looked at the list of System Events and it's very long. The first application error event name is MpTelemetry. Response is "Not available". The next one is "PnPRequestAdditionalSoftware". Response is "Not available". And the list goes on and on and on for pages. I have no idea what to do about this or what it means.
    Also in the Lenovo Solution Center, under Software, there is a Critical Alert that says I never updated Windows. But I did when it prompted me to while it was first booting up and it was updating and installing things. Where it says "To update your operating system, you must run Windows Update", I click on the Launch button and it takes me to Windows Update where it says No Updates are Available. Go figure. It also says there have been 9 Windows updates made to the computer. I guess I'll have to just always ignore that Critical Alert.
    In the system tray, it says "ThinkPad OneLink Dock Detached!". I don't have a dock... So, yes, that's true, it is detached.   I'll have to hide that one.
    I realize there is a Lenovo Recovery Partition on the hard drive but I would really like to create a set of recovery disks before I start customizing this thing, installing apps, and moving my files over. I can't find anything that tells me how to do it. Under the control panel, there is the Recovery icon. The only choice there for creating recovery media is to create a Recovery Drive, not disks. I'll post a separate item to get information on this.
    On the positive side, I have had it in my lap the whole time and it's not gotten too hot for my legs. That's a big improvement on my old Toshiba Satellite Pro.
    This locating the Fn key to the left of the CTRL key decision must have been made by someone smoking crack. Why would anyone in their right mind want to do this? We've had the CTRL key on the outer left edge like, FOREVER, why move it now?? This will be something that will take me a long time to adjust to - if I ever do. I use the CTRL a lot for cutting, pasting, and formatting things in Excel and Word. It's going to be a battle. I wonder if any software exists that allows you to redefine the keys? Speaking of location of keys, I keep hitting the Page Down key when I want the Page Up key. I'm used to the Page Up key being above the Page Down key instead of to the left.
    After being told here in the forum that the fingerprint reader was not an option in the US I am pleasantly surprised to see one on my new ThinkPad.
    I use the right-click on my mouse often. For example, to open a link in a new tab instead of switching to the new URL. For some reason, when I click on the right part of the touch pad when the mouse is located over a link, it just opens the new URL instead of giving me options for opening the URL. I'll have to figure this out.
    So anyway, I guess that's more than a few things... hope this is useful to someone...

    You can change FN and CTRL key in the BIOS

    I am a long time iTunes user but a new MacBook owner! I keep the majority of my music files on an external hard drive.   I'm trying to view all those files on my MacBook through iTunes.   With windows you would go to : File/Add To Library, and iTunes would add all your selected files to your music library BUT WOULD NOT COPY THEM TO YOUR HARD DRIVE.  In other words, if the external hard drive was connected, you could listen, drag/drop, and edit the files.   When I tried the same thing with my new MacBook... it actually started coping the files to my MacBook harddrive.  I don't want that, it's millions and millions of mp3's that I don't want to keep on my computer, only my external hard drive.   Can anyone help?    I'm sure it's something easy, I'm just so new to the Mac world.   Being an iPhone owner for many many years I'm picking up things fast, but this is getting the best of me!  Help !

    If you use a web-based email service to view and send email, such as Yahoo! Mail or Google’s Gmail, then you won’t need to copy your email or email settings to your new Mac. You can continue using web-based email with our Safari Internet browser.
    However, if your email is managed by a separate application like Outlook or Eudora, then you will probably want to migrate your old mail to your new Mac. Different email programs use different methods of storing messages. We’ve collected some useful links to help.
    Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express use a proprietary format for storing messages. Microsoft’s web site has a tutorial on how to transfer email files. Or you could invest $10 in Little Machines’ Outlook2Mac, which is compatible with Microsoft Outlook only, not Outlook Express.
