Anyone using Windows 7 RC on an R61 ? (Random freezing issues)

My R61 will randomly freeze for 2-3 minutes during which time it becomes unusable as I cannot move the cursor.  All programs stop responding for 2-3 minutes and suddenly the computer will snap out of it and become usable again.  This will happen probalby twice an hour when I'm using the laptop.
I've installed both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of the Windows 7 RC and the freezing problem occurs on each.  This R61 has been running Windows XP flawlessly for 2 years now otherwise.
The 64 bit version of Windows 7 RC runs flawlessly on my desktop computer with many of the same programs installed so I'm guessing it's a driver incompatability with the my R61 that is causing the issue, I just can't narrow it down.

RRC:
Take a look at this thread and see if the possibility of a missing Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver might be the cause of your problem.  Here's the link to the discussion thread:  T61 freezes every 15 minutes.
Also, have a look at this post, it might contain a golden nugget of information about something you may have overlooked:

  • Does anyone use Windows 8 on Qosmio X770?

    It works great,computer runs smooth
    Only problem is that when I put the computer to sleep,when it wakes up, it loses the wifi connection
    Wanted to see if anybody else had this problem

    of course, thats the first thing i did
    first microsoft installs its own
    so i installed the own on toshiba's site(which works perfectly in Win 7) but will crash the computer when resuming from sleep
    went to antheros site and got latest drivers(which is still 2010) and that will crash Win 8 on reboot
    so again, really looking for people have have win 8 install to see what they are using
    (btw win 8 is free until march 2013)

  • A day ago I updated my iPhone4 to io5 and I updated iTunes on my PC using Windows 7(64 bit). Now iTunes freezes upon opening and I have to force it to close. Anything I missed along the way?

    A day ago I updated my iPhone4 to io5 and iTunes update as well. I use windows7 (64bit). now iTunes freezes at open and I have to force it closed. Anythng I missed along the way?

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • Anyone using Logic 8 with 10.6 Snow Leopard ? issues ?

    Using Logic 8 with 10.6, I'm aware there is an issue quitting Logic without first closing the current project.
    Are there any other issues? any performance boost/ benefit?
    I'm running an 06 Macbook Pro 17" 2 Gb Ram 10.5.8 currently and considering an upgrade to 10.6
    Audio units I use: Revalver MKIII and Amplitube

    (blushes embarrassedly)
    No, my coffee was still too hot...
    There are quite a few issues running L8 and L9 with Snow Leopard. My (and also from some of the pro's here) standard answer is hold off Snow Leopard until it has stabilized a bit more. Try to wait until 10.6.4 or 5 at least. Leopard only became reasonably stable with L8 at version 10.5.4, 0-3 were problematic.
    Just check this forum for user reports when SL gets updated.
    Since SL was released, the number of Q's on this forum seems to have more than doubled. That is strong circumstancial evidence for SL-Logic stability/reliability problems. It may be the price to pay for the price we pay.

  • Anyone use a voice recorder? MP3 editing? Compatibility issues?

    Specifically the Sony ICD-PX820.
    http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=1055 1&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665963672
    I purchased one and haven't removed it from the package yet. It says it records to Mp3 format but the included software is PC only. So how would I edit it? I have Garage Band which I don't really like using. I also have MPEG Streamclip.
    I just want to record and save my three year olds voice.

    Will I be happy with the new version of iMovie after using 6 for so long?
    Not everybody (including me) has been! iMovie 9 is basically for making YouTube videos. But you will like iDVD 9, which will come pre-installed with iLife 9.
    But you can retain iMovie 6.0.3 and have both.
    Happily this is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
    Delete iMovie 9 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife install disks.
    Now re-install iMovie 9. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
    Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.
    Alternatively you could try this method, suggested by poster Uitech:
    Open terminal and type "touch /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iLife08.plist"
    (No quotes)
    Install iMovieHD6 from the iLife 6 install disk.
    This is said to work with both Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.

  • Invisible Text in Flash Player Using Windows XP

    I seem to have a problem with the Flash Player and invisible text. The Flash Player will load but there will be some buttons that are not labeled with text, so you don’t know what the buttons are, fill-in text boxes that have no text or text description, so you don’t know what to type in them, and drop-down lists that are blank, but there is supposed to be text to select from.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox, that did nothing; unistalled the Shockwave Flash Plug-in and reinstalled it, that did nothing; unistalled Flash and Shockwave standalone Players entirely, leaving only the Plug-in, nothing; uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player standalone, nothing there either. I cannot seem to find a solution and every browser I have, the same problem occurs – invisible text.
    I was reading on the Adobe Forum that there is this same issue sometimes with Mac and that the problem seems to be font incompatibility.
    This happens with any browser I use – Firefox, Flock, PaleMoon, IE, Opera, Netscape.
    My OS is Windows XP Home Edition
    Main browser is FireFox version 3.6.17
    Shockwave Flash Plug-in version is 10.3.183.7
    I also have the Shockwave Player standalone version 11.6.1.629
    Has anyone, using Windows, had this same problem? Is there any solution?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Invisible text in Flash enabled web pages is a frustrating problem that is affecting Mac Users who play Farm Town (8.5+ million people on FaceBook) and probably many other games too.  See this forum as an example of the problem:  http://slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2531318
    Before even reading this forum I did everything that appears here with no success and then everything listed in the referenced forum (above) with no success... but the following did fix the invisible text problem and I hope that it will help others too.
    1.  Drag the Font folder from the User directory to the trash  ie. ~/Library/Fonts.  (where ~ is = your User Account Name.)
         Be careful; this is NOT the Font folder in the main library.
    2. Download Font Finagler v1.5 beta for Mac OS 6, and clean the font cashe files following the instructions for this free shareware app.
            http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/fontfinagler/
    3. Open the Font Book app which is a new app that is included with the Mac OS Snow Leopard (10.6). (Font Book is in the Applications folder.) Read the Help info for this app and then: Choose "All Fonts" in the left column and then choose "Select Duplicate Fonts" from the Edit menu. Disable or delete all duplicate fonts that this process identifies. After dealing with the duplicate fonts, select "All Fonts" again in the left column and choose "Validate Fonts" from the File Menu.  Deal with the results that it will display using the help file for guidance.  Interestingly, in my case there were no corrupt fonts in my Mac system, but the validation process identified more duplicate fonts that the previous step did not find. Again deal with the findings and disable or delete the duplicate fonts.
    4. Reboot your Mac and get on with using your Flash enabled web pages.  Duplicate fonts seems to be the problem that cause invisible text in Flash enabled web pages.
    Hope this helps you... it worked for me.

  • Itunes does not recognize my iPod Touch using Windows 7 - 64bit

    Itunes does not recognize my iPod Touch using Windows 7 - 64bit. Is this a driver issue? Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?
    Message was edited by: Mark DiGiacomo

    hi sally,
    see if this user tip by Yorkwill helps:
    +In the end what works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:+
    +1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in+
    +and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really+
    +matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).+
    +2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:+
    +o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)+
    +o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).+
    +o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!+
    +You should find the driver info in a sub folder of+
    +C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B+
    +Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder+
    +name into note pad – you’ll need it later)+
    +If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not+
    +been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.+
    +3. Locate the ipod-camera device:+
    +o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >+
    +Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager+
    +o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as+
    +‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.+
    +4. Update the driver:+
    +o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on+
    +‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.+
    +o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’+
    +o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check+
    +‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.+
    +In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder+
    +containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example+
    +above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B), +
    +then click Next.+
    +You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue+
    +installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come+
    +to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.+

  • Anyone using LaCie Internal dual layer LightScribe DVD burner in G4?

    Anyone using this drive in a PowerMac G4? Any issues?

    I'm using an ibook g4 with 512 ram, and a LaCie DVD DL burner with lightscribe (external). I'm quite satisfied with performance. Just make sure that you get the proper software for the mac with the burner (in the box) if you get lightscribe. If you don't, check limewire on a saturday or sunday to get it from me, then go to the LaCie website and download any and all updates.
    good luck.

  • Random freeze, always when using 'save as' or 'open with' or 'attach'

    For quite a while now I get random freezes (no specific event started this, and I cannot remember if it did it pre-10.6 it used to be very sporadic and gotten worse over time). I first thought it had to do with my temp control in my graphic card (RadeonX1900), since I had a lot of freezes when playing games. I controlled that by cleaning the dust and using smcFanControl, but I still have the random freezes. So I think this is something unrelated to temp control...
    It happens randomly, sometimes once a week, sometimes 10 times a day, and it doesn't seem to relate to the amount of usage and what kind of usage on the mac.
    But always these kind of events triggers it: 'save as' in any application. 'open with' in the finder. 'attach' in Mail. So whenever an application needs to show me what is on my computer (excuse my lack of technical terms). And it seems to happen more often when timemachine is backing up.
    When it happens the only thing to do is to restart by holding the power button.
    I run cocktail once a week, I have cleaned up using Clean My Mac. I have done a reinstall of snow leopard.
    I would like to avoid doing an erase and install since I do not have the discs for a lot of software and the ones I do have, it would take forever to get everything installed and running again.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I've used that version on Tiger quite well, but if you're worried, I can give you a direct download link to an older archived one, (batchmod_137.dmg).
    But I think something stranger is going on now, I'd try this Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
    Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • [T410] discrete gfx - Problem with Video Card and Windows Aero -anyone using 4Gb memory modules?

    [3/3/2010 Update]
    There's a issue of using 4Gb sticks on T410 currently that results in video output artifacts and aero interface problems when using Lenovo supplied drivers v8.16.11.8825. I think I can call it confirmed (Three people including me face this issue).
    Possible workaround is to install modified EliteBook 8440p video driver (read along this thread) comes with a BIG drawback of not being able to change brightness level within Windows 7. To sweeten it a little bit - you can set luminance level at POST screen, when computer boots up.
    [Original Message]
    Encountered strange behavoir of my T410.
    I have a T410 with 256Mb of Video Memory and 1440x900 display, a T61 with 128Mb of Video Memory and 1400x1050 dsplay and external monitor HP w2338h with 1920x1080 resolution.
    If I connect external monitor to my T410 and launch Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 - image blinks and comes back with Aero disabled. Looking through event logs reveals the lack of memory. Entry information can be found further.
    Now If I do the same with my old Thinkpad T61, connect the same monitor using the same cable - I can open as many Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 instances I like (tried 5) and nothing blinks and Aero stays enabled.
    Actually I find ridiculous, a notebook with more VRAM cannot archive the same performance as notebooks with less.
    Does anyone know what path should I pursue to solve this issue?
    UPDATE: Simply running multiple instances of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 without external monitor causes Aero disabled as well.

    This must be buggy drivers, on Lenovo download site is just the one and the only initial driver for T410 graphics card.
    What software were you actively using when this error occured?
