Do I Need To Install Lenovo Drivers After A Fresh Install Of Windows 7 Pro

I've just installed Windows 7 Pro (with SP1) on a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge and after running the Lenovo System Update utiltiy it doesn't list any drivers that need installing.
When I had a look at the Drivers & Downloads section of this website it lists lots of Windows 7 drivers available for the laptop.
I've looked in Device Manager and there are no issues reported so do I leave it as is or do I download all the drivers and install them?

There are certain drivers that I will have to install such as the ThinkVantage Active Protection System which is one of the great things about Lenovo laptops.
I'm just surprised that after running the the ThinkVantage System Update it said there were no driver updates available for my system.
The System Update is a fantastic idea, in my experience of using it on over 120 laptops, it's only around 70% usefull and a lot of manual driver downloading is still needed.

No Audio from Internal Speakers after a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro

T400S - after a fresh install of Windows 7, theres no audio from the Internal speakers. When I plug an external speakers there's audio. I also install the audio drivers from the Lenovo site. Thanks

Does your sound bar in the Sound Windows go up and down when you play music?

IMac - will my raid set be recognized after a fresh install?

I own an iMac late 2012 and I installed an external raid with two Lacie thunderbolt disks. Will my raid be recognized after a fresh install of mavericks?
Software OS X 10.9.1 (13B42),
Grafica NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512 MB
Memoria 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Processore 2,9 GHz Intel Core i5

Is this a RAID 0 (mirror) or RAID 1 (striped) setup?
While I am by no means a RAID expert, it seems to me that if you have a software RAID of two external HDs (i.e. set up via Disk Utility or other software), then a fresh (clean) install of OS X would no longer recognize the RAID.
Doing a clean install would wipe OS X's knowledge of the software RAID and you would have to set it up again. You can certainly set up the software RAID again, but I suspect that would re-initialize the RAID setup on the hard drives and probably wipe previous data. There IS a Rebuild option, but I have no idea if that would work in a case where you freshly install OS X.
On the other hand, I believe that upgrading OS X (rather than freshly installing the operating system) would preserve the software RAID setup.
Regardless of how you upgrade or reinstall OS X, back up your data first.

IWork is not working on Yosemite after a fresh install from the disk

Hi,
I've freshly install yosemite on my computer.
I first reinstalled my computer with original Snow Leopard and then made the upgrade to Yosemite.
After that I used the Migration Assistant to transfert my old applications.
Most of them are now running perfectly but I'm still facing issues with iWork.
It refuses to launch with a message error saying that "Pages" for example is not working with this version of Mac OS and I should make al available update.
There are indeed updates available from the App store but I can't download them because it is not available for my apple ID because someone else bought it or I cancelled the buying ?!
It's strange because I bought it with my Macbook Pro in 2010 and even after a fresh install from the disk, the message is still the same...
Any idea how to unlock these updates?

Actually this doesn't explain everything.
I finally reinstalled Snow Leopard / iWork 09' and then upgraded to Yosemite and everything is working like a charm.
This issue has something to do with the use of the "Application migration tool" from Mac Os X Yosemite to collect old applications to the new os from another installation...
I solved my issue this way because I don't have very valuable applications that I want to transfert but for other users, this could be a real issue...
Thanks a lot for your answer

Need Instructions For Clean Install Of Drivers After Refor

Hi, I will be reformatting my hard dri've and doing a clean install of Windows XP Pro SP . I have the CD for upgrading to SP2. I am not a novice with regard to reformatting and reinstalling drivers. However, my Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro was purchased only a few months ago and installed after uninstalling an NVidia Geforce card. Would I install the OS (and all patches) prior to installing the video and then audio drivers? Previously I have installed the OS, video, audio, modem, and then all of the upgrades from Windows Update. I have been all over the Knowledge Base and have downloaded the upgrades (drivers and applications) for my Soundblaster sound card. I also read in here to use the original CD and then update the drivers and software applications. I am getting more confused as I go. I apologize for the long post. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

TechSavvyFreddy,
Here is what I would do:
) Install OS and completely update it first and foremost
2) Install latest chipset drivers and software for motherboard
3) Install Video and Update completely
4) Install the Sound Card from CD then Update completely
5) Install other components.
That is the best way to assure you get the system set up properly and have all the software installed.

Shellexecute ex error on installing lenovo drivers

Hi,
I bought a used T400 with a fresh Win7 professional x64 install already on it. The seller forgot to install the lenovo drivers, so I downloaded the appropriate ones from lenovo website.
Every time I try to install one (such as the Intel display driver), it goes through the installer, but when running any of the unpacked "setup.exe" files, I get:
Shellexecuteex error code 5 - Access Denied.
I'm logged in as administrator and still see this problem. Any ideas? I'd like to avoid re-installing windows because I don't have the original CD.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Where did you download the drivers from and to what folder did you uncompress the drivers? The error indicate some kind of permission problem. You could try to rightclick Setup.exe and chose run as administrator to see if that works better. This will run the installation with higher privileges even if the account you use is an administrator. This is because of UAC (User Access Control) a new feature for Windows Vista/7.
If that doesn't work then open a command prompt and type "set" then press enter. You should find "TEMP" and/or "TMP". These should point to a exising directory and normally "C:\Users\<logon name>\AppData\Local\Temp". Make sure the directory actually exist and not pointing to the wrong directory like your windows folder or the root of C:\ or something like that.
I would also recommend that you download Lenovo System Update. When you run this software it will give you a list of drivers and software from Lenovo for your computer only. You can choose which one of them to download and install. It's a lot easier and faster compared to downloading and installing everything manually. It's also easy to use when checking for new drivers.
You can find system update here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/tvsu-update.html
(version 4.0 is for Windows 7 only and 3.14 for XP/Vista)
I guess you might have to righclick and choose run as administrator to install system update as well.

Need to reboot CM server after Device Package install (suppport new phone)

hi! we have 4.1(3)SR7 but does NOT have support for new phone model 7925G. As a result, we need to install CallManager Device Package 4.1(89.0).
But I am getting conflicting message about the need to reboot CallManager server after installation.
if yes, reboot all CM servers in the cluster or just the PUB?
readme says:
"When applying this Device Package to enable new device support, a cluster-wide reboot is required for those devices to register successfully.
A clusterwide reboot IS NOT required when running to update existing firmware/support."

A device pack does two things for you.
1) It adds new phone models to your CUCM deployment, i.e, adding support for 7925G.
2) Updates the firmware for phone models which are already supported in your CUCM depoyment, e.g., 7941G
If you are performing option 1 (which you are, by adding support for 7925G phones) you must reboot the cluster (all servers). This is so that the web page will start displaying the new phone models for you.
If you are only performing option 2, then you only need to reset the phones. At which point they will download the new firmware from the TFTP directory as instructed by their config xml file they download upon reset.

Need USB 3.0 Drivers for HP Pavillion G4-2024tx Windows 8.1

Hello,
I am having HP Pavillion G4-2024tx laptop.
Recently i installed Windows 8.1 operating system. I have Seagate Backup plus slim 2tb Hard drive with USB 3.0.
when i am copying the files from laptop to hard drive the copy speed im getting is 25-27 MB/s only.
Do i need to install USB 3.0 drivers seperately in my laptop?? If yes, Please provide me USB 3.0 drivers for windows 8.1 64-bit.
Thank you

Did you actually install any drivers or just load Windows 8.1? Did you install a main chipset driver?

Safest way to go after a fresh install of iTunes and Windows

I had to wipe my PC, and my XML file got corrupted and the itl file lost. I went to sync just before I wiped it and got, the message about being able to sync to one library at a time.
As I'm starting from zero again will the iPod recognise the new library as "fresh" and I'll have to wipe the iPod of all the tracks on it?. Which isn't really a problem, as they're all backed up on my external HD.
Or can I put all my music back into iTunes with ratings, and hope the iPod accepts the fresh install?
Which is the best way to go? Empty iTunes and wipe the iPod and start from scratch? Or try and hope it recognises the new install?

These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
After recovering your Library, strongly consider developing a thorough and frequent backup strategy for just this type of situation (and many other potential disasters).
You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
a) One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
b) One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
c) One (full or partial) set on the iPod
Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

Can't start X, libXaw.so.8 missing after a fresh install of Arch/xorg

Hello,
i just did a fresh Install of Arch and also installed the xorg Package plus the fitting driver for my GFX card.
did the usual stuff, configured x11 and now when i try to run x, following error pops up:
xterm: error while loading shared libraries: libXaw.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or direcotry
libXaw is installed, also 100% sure the right drivers for my card are installed (nvidia for a GF8400M)
Any help on this?

i had the same issue; after conky crashed X on me i was getting the above error whenever i tried to start xterm. i reinstalled libxaw, xorg, xterm, all to no avail; finally, desperately i tried:
sudo cp libXaw.so.7 libXaw.so.8
and that fixed it; i know, terrible right? i haven't noticed any negative side effects yet (it's been two weeks or so); i can simply remove libXaw.so.8 to reverse what i did (and re-break xterm), but what's the actual way to fix this?

How to get back installed apps after a fresh install?

I would like to start a new installation, format Macintosh HD and reinstalling Snow Leopard. From that point carry on with Lion, Mountain Lion and, eventually but not sure, Mavericks. After the new install could be problems retriving all intalled apps from Applestore?
Thanks

My imac started with Snow Leopard, then after Lion and Mountain Lion i accepted the upgrade to Mavericks and i didn't appreciate the new interface and usage of some apps, i.e. iMovie. Meanwhile, even before Mavericks, os was slowing down, but even if a bit annoying and unusual still accetable. Consider that i have installed a bunch of apps regularly purchased, mainly fom Applestore. No fancy gadgets. So, as i didn't like that much Mavericks decided to restore from Time Machine. Possibly was a mistake and now i have an enviroment i feel i can't manage. Today, for instance iDvd shut down in an unaspected way three times and then i decided to reinstall. Agree Mac is not Win and, in fact, never had such a problem, but now i need, say for my interior peace, to start from a clean situation. That's why my question, what about my actally installed apps?
Thanks

Why is Mavericks running so slowly after a fresh install on my Macbook Pro?

I have a 13-inch, Early 2011 Macbook Pro.
Towards the end of 2013 Mountain Lion had been running very sluggishly, and I was getting the spinning beachball of death all the time, so I decided to do a fresh install of Mavericks. I wiped my whole HD using disk utility and installed Mavericks from a flash drive.
I then installed Microsoft Office 2011 from the original DVD and set up Mac Mail to work with my Gmail account etc. All very standard. I also installed X-Code and various other things related to my work, but nothing crazy. My HD is only half-full (I have 141 GB of free space).
Despite this, everything is running really sluggishly (especially when MS Office programs are open) and I have to watch the beachball of death spin for about 10 seconds every minute.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter
exec sh
and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. There wiil be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
8. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

How can i gain access to my data on a Time Capsule after a fresh install of Mavericks? I can't access any backups through Time Machine... They appear purple/transparent, and I can't even select them to view their contents. PLEASE HELP!!!

So, I've got several thousand photos, and a decent amount of videos of my daughter, along with a lot of stuff for work stored on my Time Capsule, and now I can't access any of it. I did a fresh install of Mavericks on my MacBook Pro last week sometime, and haven't been able to figure out how to get my files back. Please Help!!! My daughter is 2 and a half, and every picture/video I have of her is locked on this thing. I was planning on making some photo/video projects fo my wife for Christmas, and now I'm definitely not going to be able to pull it off. Her birthday is at the end of January, though, so if I could have it by then, that would rule!
Basically, the bar on the right of the screen has some gray dates, which I can access (all backups after the Mavericks install), and purple dates that go all the way back to March (when I originally purchased and began using the TC) which deny me access/viewing. It's possible that I created a slightly different user name when I reset my MacBook, which I guess is most likely the cause, but I have no idea what to do now to correct it. Thanks for taking the time!

Mavericks does really nasty stuff..
Try manually mounting the sparsebundle and extract the files you want.
Yet another Pondini reference. http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
We have avoided Mavericks you see knowing that it would cause these kinds of issues..
You never ever load a new OS without doing a disk image beforehand.. TM is not reliable enough or trustworthy to be depended on.
If none of the above work..
I would get a USB drive on the computer and install Mountain Lion or whatever OS you had before you unfortunately upgraded to Mavericks.. Then use TM from that decent installation but mount the sparsebundle and choose the backup from a date well before mavericks was installed.
Once you have extracted the files.. or even done a full restore you might be able to extract the files you want.

After installing Mavericks my iMac has become increasingly unstable with various applications crashing along with some white screen, kernel panic-style restarts. This has even continued after a fresh install, what should I do now?

Following an Apple Support Team member's advice, I retrieved as many files as I could and erased and repaired the HD before completing a fresh install from a bootable USB. Once I restored all of my software I set it backing up to Time Machine over night only to find that it had crashed and restarted over night before that had completed. I attach the crash report below:
