Ideacentre A310 Windows 8 Freezing

Hello,
i have upgraded my Ideacentre A310 to Windows 8 and it is contantly freezing, I have installed the Windows 8 drivers for the sound and video card from the manufacturer.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers
Terry

hi tsandford,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If the IdeaCentre A310 freezes up after you upgraded to Windows 8, try to do the following:
1. Boot into Safe Mode with Networking - if the PC doesn't freezes up, there's probably an applilcation on the background that's causing the unit to freeze up on normal mode. To isolate this, you need to perform a clean boot.
2. If the PC still freezes up even on Safe Mode with Networking, there's probably a problem with the HDD. To verify this, try to use UltimateBootCD (www.ultimatebootcd.com) for the diagnostics. Details below:
a. Download the the UBCD ISO (www.ultimatebootcd.com)
b. Burn the ISO using imgburn
c. Insert the CD that you just created into the defective computer and reboot
d. Upon reboot, continuously press F12 and boot from the ODD/CD-DVD
To burn the diagnostic softwre on a flashdrive, follow this guide
Note:
If you find any errors, you will need to change the HDD. If don't have a recovery or restore disc, you can obtain one by contacting the Lenovo Technical Suport. Support phone list here.
3. Clean install Windows 8 into the machine (refer to this guide)
Hope this helps

Spaces: Word windows freeze when shifted to another space.

Having used Desktop Manager on Tiger for a couple of years, I was expecting a lot from Spaces.
I frequently want to shift windows from one space to another. Instead of ApplealtO (in DTM), I now have to open all spaces using F13 and drag and drop the windows, which would be acceptable, if it worked flawlessly. Problem is that if I drag multiple Word documents to a different space, some of the windows freeze, while others don't. I never had this problem with Desktop Manager.
Has anyone discovered a fix for this?

I have not uses Desktop Manager but I have had discussions with other users on this forum about two different ways of viewing how a virtual desktop should work.
The situation is that some people look at virtual desktops as being Workspace-oriented and some view them as Application-oriented, which is how Apple’s Spaces works. I would guess that Desktop Manager was Workspace-oriented and it will take some rethinking to adapt to how Spaces works.
Applications get assigned to specific Spaces and moving windows out of that specific Space to create a workspace is different from how Spaces was designed, and can result in unwanted behavior.
One way to get more workspace-oriented desktops is to assign the most frequently used applications to all Spaces. I have it set that way for the Finder and Stickies.
Here is a discussion about the different orientations for virtual desktops:
http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/whyapple_spaces_isbroken
The best solution would be for Apple, in a future revision, to allow the user to select between the Workspace- or Application-oriented desktops by providing a button in the Spaces pane to choose between them. This might entail a lot of reprogramming, however.

Window Freeze problem

Hi All,
I'm seeing "Window Freeze" error message, when
i track packets transmitted across client and server
machines. Is there something wrong in the client or
server machine configuration or is it related with the
application(my) running? whats does the error message
basically implies? does anyone have any thoughts about
this? any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Final cut x import window freezes

Import from camera works, but FCP import window freezes. 6-core Mac Pro, plenty of RAM, fast drives, worked before.

mini DV--Actually the media DOES import into event, but the import window freezes until the import has completed. Shows a rough version (blocky) of the first frame, then the last frame after import is complete. LCD window on camera keeps rolling along. I've imported lots of footage, but have never seen this before.

Print window freezes -

We're on a two-person WAN network with high speed cable service and printer connected to AEBS. Worked flawlessly for 2 years, now one computer still prints via Airport, but one does not. Email and internet connection are fine, so I don't think it's an Airport drop-out problem.
My computer takes me through the normal print process, the printer icon appears on dock with a document as if to print. Then nothing happens. Print window freezes,no blue progress line, not even an error message or exclamation mark. The print window just sits there and never does a thing and nothing prints.
The upgrade to 10.4.7. may be the genesis as at first we both had problems. When I reset the print system, used Printer Setup Repair program, installed the CUPS 1.2.1, which worked on one computer but not the other. The PSR program did tell me that a file is missing (System/Library/StartupItems/PrintingServices/PrintingServices) but it appears to me that such a file does exist in my System folder.
My USB printer connection works just fine.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Find/Change window freezes - Appleworks 6.2.9

When I use the Appleworks Find/Change window for the first time after booting up my new iMac, the Find/Change window freezes up and then disappears and then the opened document on my desktop disappears from my desktop, too. I have Appleworks 6.2.9 and a new iMac purchased a few months ago. Why does the Find/Change window freeze up and do that? How do I fix this? Thanks for any help!

The most likely cause is corrupt preferences & is easily fixed by deleting the AppleWorks preferences.

RE: Window Freeze

Yes, in answer to your final question, it is a bad idea to have one
window/thread directly invoke a method on a different window if the method
touches widgets. Especially in more recent versions of Forte where they
have made more extensive use of the Windows95 facilities which equate
windows and threads in a very strong way, in my understanding. This is in
fact one very easy way to produce a client seg fault, if I remember right,
if the called method changes the contents of a "mapped attribute" for a
widget on the other window..
So yes, you should be posting a message on the parent window and allowing
the normal multitasking to switch to that thread and get around to handling
the event and refreshing the node.

Subject: Window Freeze
Hi,
We have a list form (listview) that has a child details form. The user
selects an item from the list and this instantiates the child window
which is populated with a clone of the selected data object. The user is
then able to change the details and save these changes, and the update
object with the new values is passed back to the parent list so that
item details can be displayed.
Now, in order to pass the object back to the parent list the child
window has a reference to the parent and invokes a method directly on
the parent window object, eg. m_SaveItem(doObject). This method then
replaces the existing object with this new object and refreshes the list
view.
The problems is sometimes the child window freezes when the save occurs.
The exact events that occur are:
1. User Clicks Save
2. Disable Save Button
3. Save In Database (invoke so method)
4. <freeze>
If the user then moves the mouse cursor off the child window and gives
focus back to the parent list, the freeze ends as everything continues
normally:
5. Move mouse cursor to parent list.
6. List is refreshed.
7. Save button is reenabled.
The child window is modaless and is therefore a separate thread to the
parent. The freeze only ends when focus is given to the parent list.
Moving focus to other child windows or other windows applications has no
effect.
So, is it possible that the problem is being caused by a deadlock
between the 2 threads? The ListView actually belongs to Thread1, but is
being updated by Thread2 during the callback to the parent's
m_SaveItem() method. Is it dangerous in Forte to refresh a widget using
a different thread to the one handling the event loop (in which case we
could post an event to the form instead)?
Any other ideas?
Jace.

allready using it. I think I'm gonna try a faster usb dongle, and see if it was a signal strength thing. There might have been too much a/v information the comp was trying to process.
The present usb dongle is connected @ 65Mbits, so it should be plenty of speed, so process of elimination points to the receiver. Fingers crossed
Thanks for your reply

Program and Source Window Freezing :/

Have been opening up a large project in Premiere for the first time in a around a month and am having major problems with the program and source windows freezing. I don't know what's happening and am in major need of help as deadlines are incoming. I REALLY want to speak directly to an Adobe representative but this website is making that more difficult than it needs to be. Has anyone been having similar issues on feature length projects within Premiere like this and are willing to help? Preferably a representative of the company but anyone who may know what's happening; feel free to chime in.

Safari windows freezing since upgrading to Lion

Since I have upgraded to Lion I have had windows freeze - usually when I am filling out an online form. The window becomes blurry & nonresponsive. I can open new windows they work just fine, or if I have multiple windows open, I can switch to them no problem, but nothing short of quiting Safari will let the frozen be unfrozen.
This is disappointing. I've had a Mac on one sort or another since 19886.
I have included a screen shot of the freeze - it did it while accessing this support site!!!

I have three extensions installed.
Ghostery
Clip to DEVON Think
1Password
Ghostery was not enabled.
If I recall, it does seem to occur after using the 1Password extension. (Which is in beta since the release of Lion) so you may be onto something. I will try disabling each & see if I can reproduce the freeze.
Thanks,
Aaron

Can't Capture more than 10 minutes or so before the window freezes

Using Final Cut Express 2
Camera feeding is a Hi-8 Sony DCR-TRV120 NTSC (non Hi Def)
Troubles started (I think) after I upgraded my OS System to 10.5.6
I hadn't used this program in a while.
Things seem to go as they used to when I was capturing video, but after 10 minutes or so (this part is not consistant), the capture window freezes with no message while the source video on the camera plays on.
I have tried changing my cable
I have tried using a different camera, my friend's Hi-8 Sony DCR-TRV140 NTSC (basically a better version of my camera)
I tried trashing the entire program and all related files and doing a complete re-install, but this didn't solve the problem.
Any advice?

Are you by any chance using an external Hard Drive that is not formatted with Mac OS Extended ?
With regard to re-installing etc. have you checked out this article:-

PS3 (playstation3) does not connect to Lenovo Ideacentre D400 Windows Home Server

I just got the Lenovo Ideacentre D400 Windows Home Server this week. After getting it setup, my computer connected to it fine and I transferred my files over (photos, music, videos).
It was time to test out the media sharing. Alas try as I might I was not able to get the PS3 (Playstation 3) to connect or even find the D400. Any thoughts ?
I searched the net and forums where i can usually find answers but found no mention of this device which I guess is not suprising since it is new. Let me know if anyone else has this and if they have any issues

Window freezes when Product category selected via match-code (search help)

Hello Experts,
I am using SRM 7.0 Extended Classic Scenario.
I maintained a product category hierarchy in the SRM environment.
I maintained the GL Accounts related, the tax determination, the source system etc.
I did all this customizing in a Development environment where everything was working fine.
Now I just transported all this to a Quality environment.
And in the Quality I am facing the following issue :
If I select a product category via the match-code (search help), after the category is selected, the window freezes.
I have to shut it down manually using the Windows Close button.
However, when I type the category number, everything works fine.
Do you have any idea what could be causing this issue, and how to fix it ?
Thanks in advance,
Sofiane

Hello,
We have the exact same issue in SRM 7.0 Extented Classic Scenario. This was working fine before we installed the latest support package 11. Which support package do you have?
The same problem occurs with every drop down menu (search help) in EBP. For example when creating a new shopping cart, if I try to add approver, the same thing happens. After clicking 'Approval Process: Display / Edit Agents' > 'Add Approver', the window freezes. Same thing happens with IE8 and Firefox 3.6.13. Could you also try the same?
Could it be a new bug in SP11?
Thanks and best regards,
Matti Hokkanen
