Can't run XP sp3 on x61 tablet - BSOD during installation

I'm trying to install XP pro sp3 on my X61 tablet, but every time I try I get a BSOD with a 0x0000007B error. I've tried everything
I can think of:
1) changing the BIOS sata mode from ACHI <--> compatibility
2) copying an installation of XP in a virtual machine to the HDD (gave me the same BSOD)
3) f6 to insert ICH8M SATA drivers during the XP setup process
4) slipstreaming ICH8M SATA drivers into XP setup using nlite
I run win 7 on this machine perfectly (it came with vista, which is on the recovery partition). Also, I'm installing XP from an iso on a thumb drive using the multiboot iso from pendrivelinux (it's grub). I don't have a CD drive I can use with this machine.
I'm using the latest 1.24 bios.
Here are somethings I haven't tried:
1) installing the drivers for x61 into a virtual machine then copying the virtual disk to the real disk.
2) using a real CDROM
3) buying the lenovo xp recovery disks (they want $80, which seems an awful lot to me). However the support people told me there was no guarantee that would work either.
Has anyone got any ideas?

The chipset is intel santa rosa (GM965 I think). I already had it enable in the bios when installing.
Anyway I just found this: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-69819.html
It says that putting the sata into compatibility mode should fix the problem...but it doesn't
So Lenovo's recommendation doesn't work.

Clickonce application can't run on Linx 10 Windows tablet for full screen

My C# Clickonce application can sucessfully installed and run on a Linx 10 Windows tablet. My working station is set as 1280*800 resolution and the tablet is also been set as 1280*800. The form size is therefore set to 1280*800. My Clickonce application
can properly display on my working station (full screen), the problem is when it runs on this windows tablet, it can't be properly displayed for full screen. Is any one can tell me why? What I need is let my software to run in full screen on this windows tablet.
I don't want to set the windows forms to 'maximum'. This will make the buttons on the form looks mess.
Best wishes,
Mingxu

Hello Mingxu,
Maybe you mean your project is a windows form application, and you deployed it with ClickOnce and get that installed, right?
>>My Clickonce application can properly display on my working station (full screen), the problem is when it runs on this windows tablet, it can't be properly displayed for full screen.
Which form has this issue, the one when you installing that application or the form you are running the application?
I will based on the result to get the proper forum to help you, and if that is an issue about the form of your windows form application, then this is the right forum for your issue.

My Asus Ultrabook says of the download of Premiere Elements 10 "This app can't run on your PC" and will not open installer (although I PSE10 working)

I am running Win 8.1. I have no DVD drive, so i downloaded.
Originally, the download #1 of 2 has an extension of ".7z". I changed this to ".exe" .

change it back to .7z.
then download the accompanying file 2 of 2 (the exe), put both the 7z and exe in the same directory and click (or double click) the exe.

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space, and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run t media from an external hard drive? If so, how do I transfer my files?

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space (32 GB), and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run itunes from an external hard drive? I have tried to follow some of the directions on this site, but am having no success. Thanks.

iTunes will run fine with the media on an external drive.
However, I suggest that a tablet computer with a tiny hard drive is not ideal as the primary computer for managing an iTunes library, even a small one. If you have another machine, perhaps a big, boxy, inexpensive old desktop with a decent amount of storage, that might be a better choice.

On XP SP3 can't run plug-in, get IE script error without running IE, click Yes or No, nothing more happens

I am running XP SP3 and FF 3.6.18. I have been having trouble opening PDFs in FF but not in other browsers. FF tells me to update my Adobe PDF plug-in. I click in the FF list to update, go through the procedure and when I click on run I get the following message: "Internet Explorer script error," although I am not running IE and I have no other applications open or running other than Avast anti-virus. The pane gives me two options to the question "Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?": Yes or No. After clicking on either, the pane disappears, but nothing further happens. I have then downloaded the plug-in again, but when trying to run it I get the message: "Only a single instance of this application can run." I have tried downloading the plug-in to a different folder but get the same message. I have also turned off Avast with no change in the above. Now no PDFs open in FF. What to do? Thanks.

Thanks for your response...
I can wait. After all, it was by waiting for the release of the 10h version after the 10e version sabotaged my flash installation, that I was eventually able to at least get Firefox up and running flash again...
It's just frustrating to think that the folks at Adobe can't come up with a better product testing cycle so they are unleashing these problems on end users systems...
I recognize that there may be some sort of issue with my particular system registry. If so, I wish I knew what it was...but flash releases are the only installations I ever have any difficulty with...All of the other software I run updates without failing....sad to say...
Perhaps I will try running a home edition version of secedit (See here)http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222 instead of the clean or repair install...I'll let you know what I decide and how it works out...
Anyway, thanks for the input..

Can you run labview on Windows Tablet PC Edition?

Can you run labview on Windows Tablet PC Edition?...or does LabVIEW executable and Run-time engine operate with this OS?

LabVIEW 7.x will run without any problems on a Windows Tablet PC with SP1. There have been documented issues with Windows XP SP2 and LabVIEW subsequently not exiting properly--LabVIEW's window closes but somehow it is still present in the task manager.
Hope this helps.

X61 tablet install of simpletap

I installed simple tap on my windows-7 powered x61 tablet. I think it's a good start. I particularly enjoyed using the volume and brightness sliders. I added a tile of my own no problem.It' be nice if simple tap had tiles for all the lenovo goodies on my machine such as rescue and recovery, airbag protection, etc.
My biggest fear is that my x61 with single-touch gets forgotten in the multi-touch world. That would be a shame because a single-touch interface is one that'll work well with an ordinary mouse too.
What I'd really like though is a nice touch based windows shell. Origami was getting there I think, but I can't run it in windows 7. It seems the best touch interface we've got at the moment is windows media centre with a few extensions added in. I've even tried the x86 version of android and wasn't too impressed. Touch friendly apps seem to be a fair way off yet

Hi Robert
I got a X61 pen enabled tablet ...
I looked around but -beiing a newbie- I couldn't find what I wanted to know:
Does your remark about simpletab apply to a pen enabled X61 as well ?
(I cannot multitouch, can I ?)
What is Origami ? Where can I find it ?
(and yes I know where/how to fold paper ;-)

X61 Tablet with Windows 8 - no tablet function

Hi I have just updated an old laptop with Windows 8 (Microsoft has a great offer right now = it is only a great offer if it works ;-) )
The PC is a: Lenovo ThinkPad X61 tablet 7767.
But I am having issues with the tablet interface. Windows 8 has been designed to tablets...
With the virgin installation, the tablet interface does not respond.
The tablet is found in the Device Manager:
+ Human Interface Devices
HDI-compliant device (3 lines)
Wacom Penable Dual Touch
All control programs are in place, calibration program can be opened, but there is no response from the tablet (pen or touch). I have looked at the lenovo support site, and downloaded various drivers, most with no effect, others caused windows blue screen - which in windows 8 is more light-blue greenish.
I have also Installed ISD_DualTouch_710-9 from Wacom.eu, this gives the most positive result.
Both pen and touch works (no dual touch), but is unaligned (when in a corner, pointer is 2cm from corner x and y. center of screen is aligned)
I cannot calibrate, neither pen nor touch. Running tabcal (from control pannel or commandline) gives 4 popup windows with error messages:
1) Failet to enumerate the installed digitiser devices.
2) No suitable hardware was found to calibrate.\nWindows supports calibrating only integrated digitisers.
3) Invalid display was specified.The Device manager lists the tablet as working:
+ Human Interface Devices
HID-compliant device
Wacom Device
I have tried to find a file holding the calibration; I found a ISDTablet.xml, that looked right, but editing it has no effect and rebooting resets to original value. (The file has a calibration section with coordinates of 4 points)
Secondary, I can't get the buttons on the tablet to work (Ctrl-Alt-Del, Rotate, Toolbox, Esc and cursor joystick).
Any ideas are greatly apreciated ;-)

My Dell Vostro (running XP SP3) neither recognizes my iPad 2 nor my iPhone 4 correctly! I followed the troubleshooting guides and installed the latest iTunes. Both devices are recognised by my desktop PC running Vista using the exact same cable etc.

Hello all,
my Laptop (Dell Vostro - running XP SP3) neither recognizes my iPad 2 nor my iPhone 4!
Both devices are working correctly with my desktop PC running Vista with the same USB cable!
I followed trouble shooting guides, checked that the drivers are present, installed, removed and reinstalled the latest iTunes (in the correct order together with the other Apple software components) etc. but nothing works! The interesting thing is that when I plug the iPad or the iPhone in the laptop's usb-port for a second Windows correctly shows the devices either as iPad or iPhone in the "Device Manager" with an exclamation point !!! But then after a split second Windows allways switches the devices to Digital Camera and the correct iPad or iPhone disappears !!! => That is why I guess that this is a driver problem!
Does anybody have any idea what else I can try?
Is there a manual way to install the drivers for the iPad 2 or iPhone 4?
Many thanks for your ideas and suggestions
Edgar

Yes I know that (I always google first and ask later ). Too bad I find this out when it was too late. I was already on 4.3.

My laptop running XP sp3 and FireFox 3.6 died. I salvaged the HD and put it in a drive enclosure. I bought a new Win7 machine and wish to import my old favorites (I don't have a backup, but the Favorites folder on the old HD is intact).

I bought a new Win7 machine and wish to import my old favorites (I don't have a backup, but the Favorites folder on the old HD is intact). I have not been able to determine how to import these favorites from the old HD to the new machine. I haven't found any FAQ that addresses this since I can't really start Firefox on the old HD in order to make a HTML backup. Any ideas? edit

Any suggestions on creating a new user account please? (thinpad x61 tablet, Vista Business edition)

I would appreciate any suggestions on creating/editing the user account on my second-hand thinkpad X61 tablet (running Vista Business) edition. I bought the laptop from ebay in Germany/Austria. When I switched it on, there were no options to create or edit a username. I have completed all the updates (Lenavo and Windows). I tried the following to add a new administrative account:
1, Control Panel then selecting User Accounts. A screen appears for a second and then disappears.
2. I have also tried typing in sysdm.cpl in the command prompt,
None of the above worked, as the screen does not appear at all. I have also tried allowing the automatic updates on, that does not work either. I was wondering if this is managed by the Think Vantage system. Not sure if this is relevant, the Vista Business language was set in German and I added a language pack via Vistalizator to turn it into English.
Any help with this issue would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Hello,
Have you tried running the Local Users and Groups Manager (filename: LUSRMGR.MSC) to create a new user? If so, were you able to create additional accounts through it?
