Device Discovery Error (Lenovo Toolbox)

Today when I went to run Lenovo Toolbox, it would not completely load and would complain that it had a Device Discovery error and to hit ok and restart the application. Has anyone else been running into this issue? When I log in as another user it works fine. Someone elsewhere had mentioned something about Firefox causing the problem, but if it works on one profile and not another I don't see how the two are related.

I have the same problem on my T42p.  Installed toolbox version 5.1.5183.17, with Firefox 3.0.8, upgraded from 3.0.7 and problem persists.  Have tried with toolbox allowed and not allowed to go online, but halfway through its initial screening, the error appears: Device Discovery Error  Your system was busy performing other tasks when Lenovo System Toolbox attempted to collect information.  Click OK and restart the application.  If the error persists, restart the system. 
Restarting does no good.  Firefox can be on or off.  Same problem.

  • Lenovo Toolbox errors on W500 with XP 32 bit

    Hello,
    I'm receiving repeated Windows errors that the Lenovo toolbox has stopped working.  After a night of sitting I'll have a pile of these messages to close down.  Based on an older post on the same subject I've disabled the automatic tasks that run PC-Doctor, and I think this is what is causing the errors.
    I'm assuming that software must have become corrupted.  I'd like to reinstall it on my system, but can't figrue out where to get it.
    I tried downloading and re-installing the ThinkVantage productivity center, but that didn't help.
    Does anyone know where I can download or find this app to reinstall, or have other suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hi glenncooper:
    My guess as to why you're getting Windows errors is that Windows has updated and PC-Doctor  has not, because Lenovo no longer supports PC-Doctor and Lenovo Toolbox has been replaced with ThinkVantage Tools.  You may be able to purchase a newer version of PC-Doctor elsewhere as all support has moved away from that and toward Thinkvantage.  I would recommend updating to the ThinkVantage software.

  • Lenovo toolbox and fingerprint software stopped working on Thinkpad W700 Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    After installing Lenovo Updates an unknown USB device appeared in device manager. Per the instructions of a Lenovo support person I performed a system restore to a time prior to the updates. After doing that the Lenovo Toolbox and Fingerprint software would no longer work. I tried another system restore back to the latest date and that did not solve the problem. I also tried reinstalling both the Toolbox and the finger print software and they still won't work. When I try to launch either of those apps I get an error message saying that they have stopped working and that the system was checking online for a solution, with no result. It's my impression that the system restore screwed up something in the OS or the system registry that is a dependency for those two programs. The only suggestion Lenovo support could give me is to re-image the system. I would prefer to find the cause and fix that rather than reload the entire system. I would love to know what could cause these two programs to stop working when the other Lenovo utilities seem to work fine. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Which version of the tool box are you using?Mine would not open after installting updates but after installating the latest version its working fine

  • T500 Windows 7 Enterprise Webcam only works in Lenovo Toolbox

    I have a T500 running smoothly except integrated camera and finigerprint reader. I'm ok with fingerprint reader but I want to make my camera work atleast. My webcam , integrated camera only works in Lenovo toolbox but doesn't work on Yawcam, Yahoo or Skype. So far I tried Uninstalling the camera driver and software from programs and device manager. I reinstalled the driver downloaded from http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-70​600.html I din't find any utility / program that show my webcam working except the Lenovo toolbox's hardware test. Any tricket other option to try ? - Sunil Parmar

    On Yahoo it says web cam is not connected. Although when you start first time the set up screen show that it's going to use Integrated Camera as your webcam but it doesn't work in the next screen with error saying it's not connected.
    On Skype it says unexpected error.
    - Sunil Parmar
    If Fn-F6 doesn't work it means you don't have the latest hotkey driver installed (it is a new feature), which leads me to ask if you have the newest webcam driver installed?

    Hi Greg,
    The error message you are seeing is likely triggered by some un-expected configuration on the cat6k.
    It is likely your cat6k configuration has an interface defined as a switchport which has a subinterface  defined on it.
    This is usually not allowed on most sup versions that we  have seen and hence is not modeled/ cannot be discovered in  ANM.
    We have bug id CSCtd94658 opened for this issue.
    You  could try to have your customer remove the subinterface indicated above and then  try the import into ANM.
    Also,  they could maybe add back that interface if really required after the initial  import.
    Since  Cat6k configs are not auto-sync'ed in ANM, they will be okay until they do a  manual sync.
    This workaround in also documented in the release notes of CSCtd94658.
    Thanks
    Sujatha

  • Device discovery failure in ANM

    Anyone familiar with this error:
    Device discovery failed: For input string:"1/0"
    I am receiving it when attempting to import a new chassis into ANM. All of the credentials are correct.

    Number one error with ANM 1.1 installs has been not having SSHv2 configured on the Supervisor (and the subinterfaces ANM may use to reach that module). Since ANM is managing the ACE, which in turn is often managing e-commerce applications with SSL and SSH connections, not having the control interfaces at the same level of security was undersirable.
    ANM 1.2 is being updated to allow the operator to start off without SSHv2, though this will be strongly discouraged for production operations.

  • Unknown Device in Device Manager for Lenovo G780 laptop, Windows 7

    Hails all.  I am trying to figure out what the Unknown Device is under Other Devices in my Device Manager.  I recently got rid of Windows 8 and put Windows 7 64-bit on my Lenovo G780 laptop.  I installed almost everything from the Lenovo site --- all of the drivers and such, software, etc.  I cannot figure out what this device may be.  The only external device connected to the laptop is a Kensington usb mouse.  Any ideas?
    I did run the PCI test program and the Motherboard test program that Lenovo provides and it didn't find any errors.  Windows Update hasn't found update/driver/software for the Unknown Device.  The Lenovo Solutions software only tells me to open Device Manager.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Since Windows Update didn't pick up any missing drivers, I'm guessing you are missing a driver for a device that would be propriatary to Lenovo.  During the installation of Windows 7, did you install the One Key Recovery software ?  If not, the One Key Recovery button maybe triggering that exclamation mark in Device Manager since there is no driver to tell Windows what to do with that button.
    If that wasn't the problem you can try running Unknown Device Indentifier to see if that utility can indentify the unknown device.  The free program can be found at the link below........

  • Device instance error, vista can't see media card

    hello,
    I have a pearl 8110, with desktop 6 and vista.  After upgrading to version 6 I get this device instance error and specifically can't load any media onto the memory card via usb. 
    USB\VID_0FCA&PID_8001\5&3100FCC1&0&5
    been through the forums for months tracking this down on how to clear it.  Downloaded the calfix.exe program as that was the only clue that related to the 8001 error, ran it and nothing, did not work.  Fix was for versions 4.7 to ver 5.
    I can sync, load and upgrade BB software without any problems, tried two different memory card manufacturers, formatted card, pulled battery so many time don't ask me to do it again.  mass storage mode is on, but software keeps telling me to turn it on even though its already on, been on since day one!  Everything works via bluetooth, pictures, video, mp3, but windows just can't see the memory card.
    Also went through the computer management to loocate the drive, but no luck?
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix?

    Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
    Are you attempting the format or looking at the Media Card from the BB WHILE you are plugged to the USB?
    Unplug and try it all again.

  • How to Fix Disappeari​ng HP Printer Drivers -- Disable HP CUE Device Discovery Service

    I have a new HP G60-530US laptop with Windows 7 installed (less than 2 months old). It is connected to an HP 7410 All-in-One Printer and a Brother laser printer.
    Three times now, the HP 7410 printer has mysteriously disappeared from the installed printers. The Brother printer does not disappear.
    To re-install the HP 7410 printer requires disabling the AVS using the Services,msc utility (not just shutting down the AVS (Panda in my case)).  It takes 20 minutes or so to re-install the HP printer driver software.
    HP tech support is clueless about the cause or cure for this.
    The laptop people referred me to the printer support people and the printer support people referred me to the laptop support people. The last tech support guy suggested that I restore the system on the theory that if the problem persisted it would be a hardware problem and not a software problem. He seemed to miss the fact that the disappearing printer driver software only occured with HP printers.
    HP technical support was worthless.
    Some internet forums suggest that this occurs when HP machines are connected to different networks. I noticed my problem occur after I took the laptop on a business trip and connected to a different wireless network.
    On Vista forums, I've discovered that the disappearing HP printer drivers has been a problem for some time over a wide range of HP printers. 
    The solution identified on those forums is to stop and disable the HP CUE Device Discovery Service. Apparently, this service is used to detect HP printers and add them to the HP Solutions Center software.
    In my experience, the HP printer drivers disappeared when my laptop comes into range of a "foreign" HP printer with wireless capabilities. For example, my laptop dropped my configured HP wireless printer when I went to an office that had a different wireless HP printer installed. The HP CUE service trashes the existing printer driver even though you do not intend to install and use the "foreign" printer. That would also explain why the printer drivers disappear when visiting a hotel or other location where any HP wireless devices exist. It would also explain why non-HP drivers do not disappear.
    I've disabled the CUE Device Detection Service (using the Services utility). I'll see if that works.  From what I've read, the CUE Device Detection Service is not needed after you have installed your printer, but it remains in your computer's active memory just "in case" you want to connect to a new HP printer and install software for that printer.  Said differently, after your printer is installed, it remains as useless HP software that clogs your machine's resources.
    A patch from Microsoft or HP (e.g., a patch that disables the CUE service) would be a big help to users if the number of posts on this issue are any indication of how pervasive this problem is.

    This seems to be a common problem that exists for many HP devices, varying computer moakes and models and different operating systems. So, the conclusion must be that it is a HP issue. WHY ARE THEY NOT FIXING IT?
    Based on this I am quite happy to buy a different make of printer so how does HP justify the continuing lack of support?
    I posted a message about my C7180 All-in-one which had been causing problems but I put it down to me making (unrelated) changes to my system then noticed it got worse when I connected a new Trust digital pad. However, even when the pad is not connected I get the problem of disappearing drivers with the printer still visible.
    What seems to happen to my set-up is it works when it is first reloaded and used, but the next time I open the HP software it fails and no other software is able to print/scan on the device.
    Can somebody explain what the CUE is? I'll give it a try but I don't know what it refers to.
    Who'd have thought that in the 21st century, software/hardware engineeers still can't make a simpy process for a computer. Whatever happened to the promise of plug'n'play?

  • Windows 8.1 Installed now I received a Fatal Device Hardware Error

    Windows 8.1 kept popping up to install update.  I would refuse it.  Then recently it updated itself.  After that, i noticed it took a little longer for my laptop to boot.  It would show a blue screen for a little bit then it would boot.  Yesterday, I received an error (can't remember what it said) needed to restart because of an error.  I ran the Hard Disk Test and Quick and then the extensive test.  it stops at one sec remaining and noting happens.  I did get a fatal device hardware error.  Can the update to Windows 8.1 cause this to happen?

  • Device removal error.....   The card reader ejects itself

    Hello, I'm new to macs and purchased a Mac Mini a week ago. Things were going well until I needed to move pictures from a digital camera to my mac.
    I purchased a GE 19 in 1 card reader which is built for mac os x. I hook it up to a usb port and try and look at some pictures. After a few seconds, the card reader ejects itself and I get the "device removal" error. The error will then continue to appear over and over again. When I try to eject the reader using by clicking eject, the reader ejects and only reappears a minute later and ejects itself again. I've tried using another usb port and I know for sure that its not the cable.
    If I can't get any prompt answer here, I'm going to call the Genius bar tomorrow morning and ask about the problem. <Edited by Moderator>

    More often than not, when a card reader or other similar device disconnects from the USB bus because it is drawing too much power. In a card reader, that would not unusually be triggered not by the card reader itself, but by the insertion of a card causing it to read the content and mount the volume on the Mac's desktop. Part of the problem is that while everything is invariably quoted as USB compatible, many such devices don't entirely comply with the USB standard, resulting in conflicts or load demands which may be borderline, or worse.
    You may be able to get more reliable performance from your reader by disconnecting other USB devices when you are trying to use it, or by using it with a powered USB hub. Occasionally, borderline problems can be temporarily resolved by connecting the device to a different port, if necessary switching devices around. Alternatively, it may be that in an attempt to produce a device with the greatest flexibility in terms of media compatibility, they have compromised on components.
    I would generally recommend a card reader designed for the specific card type you need. These are typically far more reliable. If you need to use different types of card media, then be prepared to spent on a well established brand with a reputation in this sector of the market, such as SanDisk.

  • Device removal error?

    I picked up a new 500 gig Hitachi hard drive to put into a vantex hd enclosure. Now every time I try and use it, i get a device removal error and the hard drive icon on the desktop disappears. I can't use Time machine or verify my hard drive in disk utilities because it always seems to eject itself. I tried a couple different USB cables and tried rebooting my computer. Both products are new, I'm wondering if it is a hardware problem and if it is, which one, the enclosure or the hard drive?
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the suggestion but..
    Tried that this morning and it still doesn't work:( I turn it on, start up Time Machine and it starts backing up the files and then some times it will start backing up 20-30 gigs and then give me the device removal error, or sometimes it only backs up 10-20 mb before giving me that error, but even after it ejects itself the hard drive is still on, but i have to turn it off and then back on again for the disk to remount. I'm leaning towards a hardware problem, just not sure if its hard drive or enclosure. I bought both online and having to send them back is always a pain because they usually just send them back saying they work and tack on another fee. Im hoping to resolve this some other way, but running out of ideas.
    Any other thoughts?
