IdeaPad s206 Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit does not find wireless after clean install

Dear Friends,
After installing Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bits on my new S206, the operating system does not recognize wireless device. Any suggestions?
(I'm not a novice, but I spent a few good hours on this issue already and didn't make any progress whatsoever
Need your help!
Thanks in advance.

hi david-breitgand,
Please Check under Device manager
                  Under Network adpter it should show Broadcom 802.11 /
11b/g/n Wireless, Realtek Wireless or Atheros Wireless,,
If non
Check for any Device under device manager that has a yellow Symbol, like an exlamation mark sign,
              It should say Network Controller
>if this is the case, Download a Driver from Lenovo Support Website,
-If there is no such Icons-
Check Your BIOS Settings,
   Keep on hitting F2 right after you power on the system, This should boot you to BIOS
Go to Configuration TAB and look for Wireless Option and Make sure it is enabled
hit F10 to Save your changes and Exit
Hope this helps,
Cheers!

Windows 8.1, BootCamp does not find the ISO image.

When I try to install Windows 8.1, BootCamp does not find the ISO image.
I purchased Windows 8.1 Pro, I downloaded the .exe requested file from a Windows computer, performed the steps recommended by Microsoft in order to create the ISO file saving it on a flash drive as well and, as a precaution, on a DVD too.
I performed the "Download the latest Windows Support Software from Apple" step directly into another flash drive and having it completed BootCamp displays the following message:
"The installer disc could not be found – Insert the Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized. "
So happens that I have tried this using the DVD, pendrive and also copying the ISO file to the desktop and to the "Documents" folder as recommended in certain websites, but none of this has made the process go ahead. What can I do?
My equipment is a mid 2011 iMac running Mac OSX 10.10.1.

Dear Loner T,
thanks to my coworker, the solution was unpacking from that ISO file which I had recorded (according to the steps indicated by Microsoft), but now using Nero software (Windows) and then recording by the most common way in a new DVD. See the screen of the first DVD before unpacking:
This true saga only demonstrated that the generated ISO file as an option at the time of the Windows installation, is not for direct installation through BootCamp, and as a I could check, even for direct installation on a Windows PC. See the last DVD burned using Nero and again recorded:
The execution of BootCamp, was perfect
Thank you for attention to my problem!

New Retina MacBook Pro does not find WiFi after booting

My Retina MacBook Pro keeps looking for WiFis after it has booted, but does not find any.
I have to explicitly turn WiFi off and on again after booting to get it working.
When I put the MacBook to sleep and wake it, the problem does not occur.
Any hints what could be the problem?

Not sure if this will help, but you can go into System Preferences > Network and, if you haven't already, create a new location (mine is called "home"), then from this location remove all connection methods from the left column except Wi-Fi. Also, click on "Advanced" and remove anything from the Preferred Networks list that you aren't using. Then click on "OK" and "Apply".

Windows 7 Home premium 64bit, does not appear to install correctly

Hi,
I thought this had installed correctly until trying to install Elders Scroll Online
Attempted multiple times to uninstall/re install using administrator and used the Microsoft Fixit/Clean Up utility.
The install does not give me any error messages but get the following logs

The argument would be who wants to install Oracle database on Windows 7. I think most probably by the developers who wants to "Try" something prior deal with a production database, right?
For a developer, installing database using the hack is more than NOT having a local database running from the local system. I installed all the products mentioned with windows7bugs post and used the following tools to successfully connect and retrive data from the database instances.
Toad 9.7.x.x
SQL Developer
SQL/Plus
Developer 6i (Another hack, please check this link http://windows7bugs.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/installing-oracle-developer-forms-reports-6i-on-windows-7-64bit/).
I think the discussion about whether all the features of client/server are still available with such a hacked installation is meaningless as far the information requested was strictly for Windows 7, not for a Server OS.

S206 Windows 8 64-bit drivers: Not a smooth install

I've just taken the plunge for Windows 8 via the upgrade offer, but seeing as I already got a copy for my desktop PC with the 64-bit disc included, and that the S206 I bought came preinstalled with 4Gb of RAM (almost half of which is unusable in a 32-bit environment), I decided to boot from the 64-bit disc through an external USB DVD rewriter and install fresh. I had previously made sure that the Lenovo support site had Windows 8 64-bit drivers available.
Well, was I in for a shock.
First of all, practically every installer tried to extract to the C:\Drivers folder, dumping all the files in a single subfolder with no hierarchy. Then it tried to access the individual files from sub-subfolders which didn't exist. The only way I could get them to install was to create the folders it was missing as the error messages cropped up, dump a copy of the driver files into those folders, click retry, and repeat until it said it was done.
Secondly, the Catalyst drivers didn't find any graphics card. I downloaded the latest version from the AMD website, and that picked it up fine.
Thirdly, when I installed the audio driver, it said that the device I had was not the one that the drivers were intended for, and it would install generic drivers instead.
Fourthly, the Lenovo energy management program defaulted to the balanced profile which was the only one to totally disable the backlight to the LCD screen. Boy did that one take some time to sort out.
Fifthly, installing the wireless and Bluetooth driver seems to have not added in Bluetooth. I'm fairly sure it had Bluetooth to start with. The network adapter is still using the Microsoft driver.
Sixthly, the webcam does not appear in my devices list. Skype can't see it at all. Neither driver supplied on the website can actually find a device. I have just had the laptop back from repair due to a faulty keyboard, and I've not actually had a need to test it before now so I wonder if it maybe was left disconnected or maybe the camera in the screen frame is a dummy - I may have to restore the old Windows 7 operating system to check that...
Finally, when I tried to install the Synaptics touchpad drivers, clearly marked as 32 and 64 bit in a single installer, the installer told me it's not designed for a 64-bit system and told me to get the correct version from my vendor! The Synaptics website doesn't have Windows 8 drivers up yet.
So basically the default drivers leave the PC in a working condition but I currently have no Bluetooth, no webcam, I'm stuck on either high or low performance energy management, basic audio with no options, basic touchpad with no configuration.
So, for Lenovo: Your drivers leave a lot to be desired and need reviewing.
For other users: If you want to adopt 64-bit Windows 8, prepare to spend a lot of time fiddling with drivers.
For anyone with more knowledge than me: Can anyone suggest how I might get the above hardware fully functional?

After seeing that Lenovo have updated some of their installers, I decided to give it another go and see if I could get 64-bit Windows 8 on it.
First hitch, it was a bit of a struggle getting the computer to recognise the USB DVD drive. In the end I had to plug it into the USB2 port (The not-blue one), go into BIOS, save and exit and immediately go back into BIOS before it would be recognised as hardware.
It seems Lenovo overhauled all their installers, because they all extracted with the correct folder hierarchy. The only problem was with the "WLAN Driver and Bluetooth Driver (Ralink, Atheros)" (0swg11ww.exe) which totally failed to find the correct target installation executables after extraction. Also I'm sure this laptop had bluetooth connectivity but it didn't find any bluetooth hardware, but I'm not bothered too much about that as I use Logitech devices with unifying recievers anyway. When I finished installing them manually I checked on a tip-off I read elsewhere on these forums that the installer keeps the computer using the Microsoft driver, rather than switching to the Broadcom driver. I told it to change drivers (Some fiddling about in Device Manager) and it works fine.
Lenovo Energy Management still installs with the "Balanced" profile having zero backlight brightness, totally out-of-line with the other two profiles. I note that while the RSS feed says Lenovo Energy Management was updated on 29/11/2012, the download page says the latest version available is the initial 24/10/2012 release. Also the WLAN/Bluetooth driver was supposedly updated on 09/01/2013 but the download page says the latest revision was released on 09/12/2012, and when I installed the AMD Catalyst graphics drivers (supposedly v8.0.881.0) it actually installed the latest version (v12.10).
Clearly in the case of the Catalyst drivers the page hasn't been updated to reflect the updated driver release, but the on the other hand Lenovo Energy Management software doesn't appear to have been updated at all. At least I have a copy of all the install files now though, so I can tell if anything does change by inspecting file sizes.
The computer is now in as useable a state as I would like it however, and this time it was for the most part a fairly smooth install.

System update 5.03 for T520i 4239CTO running windows 7 64-bit does not execute

Hi, I've just installed the latest Lenovo system update software but it does not run properly. I just get the initial popup screen showing the version but nothing else happens. Looking at the event viewer I see an error saying "Retrieved null machine type model". Any advice on how to resolve this ?

Hi strangerland, don't give up hope -- I'm using Firefox 36.0.4 on Windows 7 right now.
That said, I understand troubleshooting fatigue and when you find time to think about Firefox again, and have the opportunity to shut down and restart Windows, you might try testing in Windows Safe Mode with Networking, a mode that blocks some external programs that can interfere with Firefox.

Firefox 6 running under Windows 7 64-bit does not render fonts correctly.

The default sans-serif font for Firefox is Arial. Running Firefox 6 under Windows 7 32-bit, the font renders properly, but under 64-bit Win7, the font is too heavy, and bold or strong makes no difference. I run Win7 64-bit on a laptop computer and use Firefox 5 on it, and the fonts render properly. Possibly a Firefox 6/64-bit problem?

Windows 7 64 bit does not detect canon powershot A2500

I am beyond frustrated. My compaq laptop (6 months old) always worked fine w/ my old Kodak digital cam. I ordered this new canon for the xmas holidays. Yesterday I tried to connect the camera to the computer, but I keep getting error 43. I downloaded the suggested Zoom browser and its extention file from canono, nothing!!! My drivers are updated (new, but I still checked)... I wish I had took holiday pics w/ old camera as I at least would have the pics by now.
And for the record I removed all the Kodak software from my pc...
Any suggestions???
cassie

Hi Cassie,
If you have the Kodak software intalled, it's likely that this issue is caused by a conflict between that that software and the Canon software.
To try to get around this: Take a look at the bottom-right of your display. You'll see the time in the system tray. To the left of the time, you'll see some icons. Normally, with Windows 7, you'll need to click on the "^" to see the icons.
As you pass your mouse pointer over the icons, you'll see the name of the software. If you see "Kodak Easyshare" (or other imaging) software, right-click on this program, and choose "Exit".
You'll also want to exit any non-Canon software that deals with software for digital imaging, including image transfer and image editing.
If the issue persists, please contact us. When you do, please include your Windows 7 64-bit operating system as well as the Kodak software (if it's installed).

Satellite Pro A300-1DZ does not find HDD after BIOS update

Hi everyone,
I have recently purchased a secondhand Satellite Pro A300 1DZ.
Put a fresh copy of Windows xp home on it.
I then went on to install all the drivers needed from Toshiba's own site and at the end of this I thought it may be a good idea to update the bios????
OH DEAR what a big mistake.
Now the netbook will NOT start windows.
So I thought thats ok I will just start from the begginning and reinstall windows again, but it is telling me it cannot find a hard disk on my netbook?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am going crazy,
Could someone please tell me how to fix this? Thank you x

Hi
I think the option SATA mode has been set to AHCI and therefore the Windows XP cannot find the HDD.
This is because of the SATA controller.
You can set the SATA mode from AHCI mode to compatible mode and this will allows you to install the Win XP on the notebook without the usage of SATA drivers.
So, youve got two options if you want to install Win XP:
AHCI mode -> but you have to include SATA drivers
Compatible mode -> Win XP installation possible without the SATA drivers

RTL8192SEvB wireless card does not find wireless networks

Hello everybody,
After some updates in Arch I noticed my wireless RTL8192SEvB left to locate wireless networks. Has anyone experienced the same problem or know how to remedy it?
Note:
- My Arch installation is already with systemd;
- The card driver is installed correctly, so I used it normally before this "crash";
- The system recognizes the card as active and behaves normally (as if it worked) - lspci and co. OK;
- I use KDE and Network Manager as a GUI.
Already very grateful.

WonderWoofy wrote:The rtl8192* driven cards tend to be pretty shoddy at best. I have seen reports of these "se" cards working fine with one kernel and not at all with the next. You may want to experiment with previous kernels to see if it changes things.
Thanks WonderWoofy, but it does not work.
I tried, without success.
What I find interesting is that for the system, everything is normal with RTL8192SEvB.

SSD Cache Not Working U840 after Clean Install Intel Smart Response Technology

Hello, I completed a clean install of Windows 8 on my ultrabook model U840 (Core i3, 16GB SSD). I would appreciate any advice to get the SSD to use the Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) for SSD Cache.
I used the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) driver during install and after installing Windows 8 but I do not recieve the option to Accelerate the SSD drive. I followed the instructions and links contained in this Toshiba Forum post: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=277914
The computer is supported for Windows 8 upgrade and clean install drivers are available at Toshiba: http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows8/drivers_cae.htm
The BIOS is set to default for the drives (Performance). Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I urge you to at least read my post in the other Toshiba forum for a fuller grasp and overview, but I have also attached the two Intel website and PDF links for you.
Keep in mind that there are seemingly two types or Intel Rapid Cache type options. Follow the instructions in the intel link and one of them will work for you. (I hope it does work for you because i know how frustrating this issue is)

Right arrow & ALT key not working right after clean install of XP Pro

My 3000 N100 stopped booting so I had to reinstall. Had a full license for XP Pro that I wasn't using yet, so decided to do a clean install.
Am still working on getting various things working (e.g., audio), but at the moment the biggest irritations are the following:
1) My right arrow is disabled completely.
2) The ALT+TAB combo doesn't work properly. When I do it in Firefox, for example, it does some sort of scrolling down-screen.
Anyway, to isolate the problem, I tried plugging in a USB keyboard. With that keyboard, everything appeared to work fine.
Now, before you tell me that it's just something under the keyboard (which was replaced shortly before the crash, so I doubt that's the problem) keep in mind that the ALT+TAB *does* do something (and not the simply TAB alone), which leads me to suspect the problem lies in how the ALT key and the right arrow key are mapped.
Any ideas?
Could this be related to a driver that I still need to install? (My device mgr still has a bunch of things with question marks.)
Thank in advance.

Did you look in the list of campatibility problems windows 8 generated to see if the touchscreen is included.
You did not say whether it came with win 8 and it whether it worked before.
I have a b320 and the touch is not compatible with win 8 and it works for general stuff but won't bring the charm list in from the side nor work in the left corners, nor some of the swipe features.
No drivers for the b320 yet. Windows set it up with something that kind of functions.
It did come with Windows 8 installed. It also came with CD containing Win8 Driver Pack v1.0. I installed all of the drivers from this CD.
Where would I find this list of compatibility problems that you refer to?
Thanks!

Itunes for Windows 7 64 bit does not recognise the iPhone 3G

I have just installed windows 7 x64bit on my pc. I have downloaded the itunes for windows 7 x64 and it seems to have installed correctly. I have reset my iphone (as my old one packed up with the home button, so Apple replaced it as it was still within the warrenty)and now when I connect the newly formated iphone to itunes, I get the following error,"this phone cannot be used as the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64 bit version of itunes"???? i am assuming that the itunes download 'iTunes64Setup.exe' is the correct installer package for the 64bit version of windows7?
does anyone have any ideas of this, I am really missing my iphone.

now nothing happens when I connect the iPod by USB - it's not even charging.
Do you have a laptop, Nin?
If so, the following document might be of some assistance with that:
[iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1401]
(That issue seems to match your recognition and charging symptoms.)

ITunes download using Firefox on Windows 7 64-bit does not work

I just got set up on a new Windows 7 machine (64-bit) at work. I was trying to download the iTunes exe file to my machine and was initially using Firefox as my browser. After multiple attempts to save the file were unsuccessful, I decided to try a different browser.
I popped over to Chrome and it downloaded with no problem. I thought I would share in case anyone else runs into the same issue.

This has worked for some of us but not all. Go to control panel and uninstall itunes and icloud, restart pc, go to apple site and download itunes and icloud. Good luck.
