T61P Audio stuttering at bootup in Windows Vista Business

I did some googling on this and saw that mine isn't the only Lenovo with this issue, and it's not a big deal, but I would like to fix it so the bootup is silent until "music" (especially since I'm a musician with keen hearing and want my audio right).
One post elsewhere (a general notebook forum) said it was caused by the SATA disk (controller). No doubt the hard
disk is working hard and pushing a lot of data on the system bus at boot time, but that suggestion didn't pan out yet. This is starting to feel a bit too much like my Dell past headaches where part of the problem is manufacturers choosing to let Microsoft garden variety drivers do everything. My philosophy is there should be an exact driver for my Seagate 160 SATA drive that I can download and install.
Or if anyone has some guidance on this issue, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Can someone help me please?

  • ITunes 7.0.2 and Windows Vista Business

    I just installed Windows Vista Business in my HP Workstation xw4100. When I try to play a song I've purchased from iTunes Store, it asks me to authorize the computer (which I expected). However, although iTunes Store tells me I've successfully authorized two computers, when I try to play the song, iTunes asks me again for authorization. These process continues again and again, without iTunes ever successfully authorizing my computer.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    This seems to be a common problem, search the forum for: vista authorize.

  • In Windows Vista business 64 bits...Itunes can't load data information class...

    Can't sync Iphone 4 with Itunes versión 10.7.0.21, in Windows Vista business 64 bits. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling and also finding sqlite3.dll and the other dll... and nothing. Renamed the sycservices folder and nothing, copied corefoundations.dll and folder to system32 and nothing...
    This is becoming very annoying... any tips?.
    Thanks.

    Hi!,
        Thanks for your reply but I keep having the problem. I've been investigation through the Internet and I beleive is a COM situation or something is in conflict with iTunes, either way I manage to compare a similar environment (Win Vista 64 bits Business with iTunes running) and figured out that process "Syncserver.exe" is not running and neither is running "ATH.exe".
        I'm reading more about what could possible causing these two process from being executing as they should.
        Thanks.

  • Cannot install Photoshop CS4 on Windows Vista Business

    Ok people, looking for some help with this.  I have a new PC (less than 2 months old).  I cannot get Photoshop CS4 installed at all.  I'm sure there have been a million threads like this before asking the same question.  Although I am a newb to Photoshop I am certainly not when it comes to computers, this is what I do for a living.  I can't even believe I am actually having to ask for help.... :\
    Anyway, help appreciated.  I have Windows Vista Business SP1 (32-bit), and its running on a Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.5GHz with 4 gig of RAM.  I have plenty of free space on my hard drives.
    When the install completes, I get the same error message, installed with errors.  When I click to see the error info it says something about language packs (I can get the exact error if you want, just installed and uninstalled about 10 times but hey).
    Things I have tried a few times have been to follow through all the other threads and the Adobe support pages - Uninstalling the product through Programs first, running Windows Install Cleanup, running the Adobe CS4 Clean Script - when I do these things in this order both of the cleanup utilities don't find any installs of Photoshop CS4, so it doesn't appear they are doing anything.  I have disabled everything on the PC, done a selective startup, turned off UAC, firewall, anti-virus - everything suggested.  Still, the same error persists.
    I have even run my Registry Mechanic and cleaned up that, and of course checked registry permissions etc.  Please help!

    You may want to install Vista SP2. It contains a lot of fixes and has the newer 4.5 installer.
    Also if Vista is set for English then CS4 has to be set as US English upon install (I think someone already pointed that out).
    Before install go services and set the windows installer to auto and start it. Also good idea to turn off windows defender.
    Go to MSconfig and turnoff as many start up items that you don't need running (you will have to reboot).
    Ensure nothing Adobe related is running in the back ground before install. (someone already mention this I think)
    Anti-virus: I turned mine off during install.
    I did not install AIR nor Device Central on my system as I would never use them.

    Anyone else have any idea what might be causing my problem?  The other thing I was going to try was contacting Adobe support, but can I do this for the trial version?  When I tried to log a case it kept asking me to select my product, but I don't have one yet....

    Which version of oracle have you installed?According to the dcoumentation,
    Do not install Oracle Database on Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 using the media for Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows. Do not use the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3.0) for Microsoft Windows Vista or the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3.0) for Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 media to install on operating systems other than Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.
    Oracle Database is supported on Windows Vista with the 10.2.0.3 release.

  • Sharing files between a Windows Vista Business edition and a Mac osx 10.6.6

    Is there reliable information somewhere about how to share files from a Windows Vista business edition pc to a Mac osx 10.6.6?  I have googled instructions and followed the steps and still could not have sharing to happen between the Vista pc and the Mac.  These are the steps I have performed, I have made sure that
    o Both the Vista pc and the Mac have the same user account/password.
    o The firewall from the Vista side allows file and printer sharing in the exceptions.
    o Enabled sharing with a few directories on the Vista pc.
    o Changed the security policy on the Vista pc to "LM and NTLM - use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated".
    o On the Mac System Preferences > Sharing selected File sharing.
    On the Windows Vista pc, if I click the Start menu and then Network, the Mac does not appear.  On the Mac, from the Finder menu if I click Go > Connect to server and request a connection to the IP address of that Vista pc, I get an error, "Connection Failed"  (could not find pc or not available at this time).
    What else do I need?

    That was a great tutorial / walk through.
    In fact, I would say that was far easier than the entrophy route (which is good) as you can see exactly what you are doing rather than relying on an installer which has often failed in the past for me, and then just suddenly worked for no apparent reason!
    Just two things to improve it for other users, and they are really VERY minor... From previous experience, I knew where to find the php.ini.default file, but you don't let people know where to find that, and the links to the MySQL downloads were broken. I guess that is because the file names have changed or because I am coming at it from a different country. I got a message stating: 'That file does not exist on our download mirrors.'
    Thanks for doing that, I really appreciate you (and the likes of David Powers) taking the time to set these tutorials up for others to use.

  • External Monitor with Bootcamp (and Windows Vista Business)

    It looks like this has been discussed quite a bit already, but as a computer neophyte I've had a hard time deciphering an answer that applies to my unique circumstance. So apologies if some of you've already been over this.
    Anyway, here's my question/problem:
    My second monitor (Gateway HD2250) doesn't work when I'm using Bootcamp (Windows Vista Business). I'm running a VGA cord from the Gateway monitor to a VGA adapter that's plugged in to the back of my Mac. My computer's a late '06 iMac w/ Mac OS X 10.5.5. BTW, my virtual Windows does seem to register the second monitor; it's just that nothing shows up on the Gateway screen.
    Ideas for help? Thanks everyone!!

    I managed to get an upgrade version of XP to run by using the internal DVD drive for the main all disc and an external DVD drive for my qualifying disc. Has to be that way round because the Apple keyboard ceases to function for a while and the required USB windows keyboard dosen't have an eject button. The whole business was very painful however, trying to get the installer restarts to select the correct drive each time.

  • Acrobat X Pro advertised as compatible w Windows Vista Business

    I just purchased Acrobat X Pro and it was advertised as compatible with Windows Vista Business.  I tired to install it and kept getting an error telling me my system was insufficient to run Acrobat X Pro.  I checked the specs again, I icheck the computer configuration and everythin was within spec.  i called tech support and they told me that I had to upgrade to Windows 7.  Now that I have acquired a serial number I am told I can not return Acrobat X Pro so I am stuck with a product I can't use and looking at another $200 to upgrade to Windows 7.  I am very unhappy.  I have been a Adobe used for many years including previous versions of Acrobat Pro I am a user of Creative Suite and Photoshop also.  Adobe used to be a great company with great products.  Now it looks like I'm SOL if there is no solution to this issue!

    I strongly disagree with what you were apparently told. Folks have been running AAX on XP since it came out and VISTA is a step above that. There are three things to consider when you do the install: 1. Log in as an administrator; 2. Empty the TMP folder; and 3. disable anti-virus. If you continue to have problems, please try to capture the error (screen capture) and post that here.

Kindly help with the problem.

    Hello ukhalanthtar,
    Please press abort if your are asked for disc 1.
    Then your installation process should move foward to the next disc, you have.

  • ISight to run in MSN (Windows Vista Business via Parallels)

    Hi guys !
    I'm a MAC newbee and as I need to run some Windows applications I have installed Windows Vista Business via Parallels.
    Everything works just fine - except for the iSight web-cam when running MSN. I have installed the AppleiSight drivers from the Leopard DVD into the Windows Vista and I did get it running once. But since then the iSight won't start if running MSN. The iSight works perfectly in PhotoBoot, iChat and so on, so there's no problem with the actual HW.
    If I try ro re-install the drivers it seems they're already installed, still my MSN doesn't find any cam connected.
    I read somewhere that I might need to make the iSight camera "available" to Windows, but I haven't been able to figure out where that might be - if that is really the case... ??!! So if anyone can point me in the right direction here it would be just awesome...
    THANKS !!!

    I am having trouble getting the isight to work with aMSN messenger. When the video comes up, I can see myself in the screen viewing box, but the person I am messaging cannot. I am aware that MSN is a microsoft program and therefore might not work with apple. aMSN says that my isight is firewalled or blocked by a router and that I need port forwarding. I was wondering if there is any way around this or if anyone knows the numbers involved for the port forwarding?
    "If you are unable to view a webcam in aMSN after a contact has send you an invite, or after you have issued the command to receive/send webcam, and you are behind a router, you may need to follow these steps:
    If you receive: IP-Restrict-NAT and you receive false in webcam wizard, that means your connection is firewalled. (does not send the IP)
    If this is the case, you will need to open some ports for the webcam to use because they are currently blocked.
    To do this, open your router web-based configuration (check router manual for details on this). Once you have the web-based configuration open, browse for a setting called "port forwarding" or "port range forwarding" or something similar to that. (This might be found under the advanced features for your router).
    Now that you have the port forwarding page open, you will want to set the port forwarding range so that aMSN will be able to accept and send the webcam stream.
    Here's an example of how you will set up your port forwarding:
    Application: aMSN
    Start: 6890
    End: 6900
    Protocol: Both(TCP & UDP)
    IP: xxx.xxx.x.xxx
    Enabled: X (Yes/True)
    Note: xxx.xxx.x.xxx is the IP of your machine that you are trying to send / receive webcam
    If you have a web server open on your port 80, you can try to disable it too, sometimes it helps."

  • MINI WAS on Windows vista business ?

    Dear All
    1. Does SAP NetWeaver 7.0 ABAP Trial Version works on windows vista business?
    2. Does SAP NetWeaver 7.0 ABAP Trial Version  supports Adobe forms, Web Dynpro, Composite Application Framework? I am interested only with ABAP engine.
    Thanks and Regards.

    I can try and help with Number 2.
    Adobe Forms and Composite Application Framework both require the Netweaver Java Web Applcation server.  You will be able to do ABAP web Dynpro just not Java Web Dynpro.
    Hope this helps.
