Ideapad S450 booting problem after windows 8.1 update

Hi.. I have a Lenovo Ideapad S450 with windows8. Yesterday while updating to Windows 8.1, it got shut down. When I switched it ON, it started booting continuously. All it displays is 'Lenovo' logo with a progressing bar, shut downs and starts booting again. Please help me if there is any way to sort it out other than System restoration. Thanks.

The point is that the touchpad of Qosmio X70-A series supports some additional features.
One of the features is the Gesture feature. I would recommend disabling it.
I found very nice HowTo document about the Touchpad settings and how to change the Synaptic options.
[How to change the Synaptics touchpad settings in Windows 8?|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD3101Z30000R01.htm]
It refers to Win 8 but the access to the settings is the same using Win 8.1

  • Mac Pro Boot Problems After 10.6.2 Update

    After installing the latest version of snow leopard I am now having boot problems on my mac pro.
    Symptoms;
    -Screen resolution is incorrect at apple splash screen.
    -Takes a lot longer than usual to boot.
    -Once booted the blue tooth magic mouse isn't imediately reckonised, takes a while to find that.
    -Once the mouse is finally reckonised it can move around but can't click on anything or bring up the dock. Tried a wired mouse, had the same problem.
    -The keyboard is also not appearing to do anything, none of the shortcuts or quick keys work..
    Had exactly the same problem after 3 restarts but on the 4th after leaving it for a good 20-30minutes it setled down and everything was working okay. However this is a recurring problem as I had the same thing yesterday...
    I have a my 10.5.8 system backed up on an external so I am running from that at the moment. Don't want to go back to snowy til these problems are solved.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

  • IDT High Definition (HD) Audio Driver problem after windows 8.1 update 1.

    Hello. I have HP Probook 4730s. After I installed Windows 8.1 update 1 the sound driver stopped working properly. When I want to play some music, video or even system sounds, sound appears after 1-2 minutes. At that time HDD usage is 100% cause of windows audio device graph isolation. I’ve installed that IDT High Definition (HD) Audio Driver from HP’s driver support site, but that’s not working. As I see in device manager driver’s release date is 24.10.2012. I think, it’s too old for Windows 8.1. Can you help me? Is there any other newer version of that sound driver? Also I’m sending two pictures where are HDD usage and driver release date.

  • HP won't boot up after Windows 8.1 update

    I downloaded Windows 8.1 on Friday night, finally was able to install it on Sunday afternoon, don't know why it took so long. Regardless, the computer installed 8.1 and restarted itself. After booting back up, the computer would be at the desktop (not the start screen). An error message popped up that started with "the instruction at 0x7904640c referenced memory..." I didn't get the full message, but the end of the message said to click ok to terminate the program. The only button to click was the ok button. I click this and the screen would flicker in and out. I continued to do this for a while. I performed a hard shutdown, and as it started to boot up, the computer took forever. After letting it do its thing for about 12 hours now, it's still on the booting up screen with the "Preparing Automatic Repair" and the loading circle moving dots.
    Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

    Hi Ryan44,
    Thank you for your post, I will do my best to assist you!
    I understand that after upgrading to Windows 8.1, you received an error and clicked OK to terminate the program. Once you did, the screen flickered in and out. You did a   shut down and restarted the  notebook, but it has been stuck on Windows Repair for 12 hours.
    I would try a forced reset first.Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset
    If this did not help, I  suggest you do a recovery and then retry the upgrade as the repair does not seem to be working. Here is some documentation to assist you with this process.

    During this process you will receive a prompt to backup your personal files. If you have not done a backup yet, I suggest you do one now to prevent data loss.

  • Audio problems after windows 8.1 update

    My audio volume has gone to barely audible after I went to 8.1 however only for certain things.
    When I try to listen to a vidio clip on Yahoo or other news feeds I can barely hear anything and when I play
    free cell or solitare and make a wrong move the audio warning is just barley audible.
    However when I listen to a Facebook audio it comes booming in as before the upgrade. and when Malware bites
    does a update the signal is very loud
    I re downloaded the realtec audio driver for 8.1 and have gone through all the settings I know about
    and nothing works to help.
    I would go back to the old Windows 8 ( I don't think 8.1 is any better anyway ) but I will loose my
    Microsoft office download and some game downloads I have installed and have to re buy them.
    Any Help ?

    Hi rckuehl.  It may have been caused by installing the Microsoft August 2014 update for Windows 8.1 - KB2975719.
    Try uninstalling the KB2975719 to see if the sound problems go away.  If not, try installing newer Realtek HD Audio drivers as your E55-A5114 laptop uses Realtek audio drivers; original driver for that model was 6.0.1.7026.  The latest Realtek HD Audio driver from Toshiba is version 6.0.1.7329 which was posted 9-25-2014.

  • USB problems after Windows 8.1 update

    Since I updated to windows 8.1 my USB ports have problems. The issues occur when I am trying to use a USB to serial cable. It will work for a short period of time and then stop. The error I get says connected device quit responding. Then it will start working again. Sometimes the system will crash and the error is that the driver unloaded before a que'd request was finished. When this happens, it takes about 5 minutes for the computer to come back up.
    I had no such issues before the upgrade. Cisco anyconnect, VPN software no longer works either and I don't have the software myself as it was emotely downloaded by my company tech support, but any suggestion for fixing it would be appreciated as well.

    The following document..
       Release Notes for Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, Release 3.1
    ..contains this statement.
    Note: When upgrading to Windows 8.1, uninstall AnyConnect, and reinstall it after your Windows upgrade is complete.
    For help with this situation, post in the Cisco forums.

  • OfficeJet 6700 Premium Problems after Windows 8.1 update

    My Officejet 6700 Premium worked great wirelessly under Windows 7 to print & Scan.  Since updating to Windows 8.1, I can print to the printer wirelessly (having set it up manually from the printer), but the software won't load and I can't scan.  Setting up a network connection using downloaded HP software fails (it just says it failed, no error message), and trying to download the entire software package (which includes scan, which I need), also fails during step 1 of 4.  I tried uninstalling all HP software first, but the same errors persist.  I don't want to mess things up further (as I said, I'm able to print wirelessly now), but I really want to be able to scan to the computer.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello mfrank1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some printing issues since you upgraded to Windows 8.1.
    I do have a few troubleshooting steps that we can try to resolve this issue.
    I first suggest that we uninstall the old software and drivers. I realize that you have already attempted to do this but I still would like to try it again but this time using the following document:  Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    When you stated that you have the printer connected with a direct connection using wireless, is this with a Bluetooth connection? Do you have a Router that you are going through?
    Once the software is uninstalled, please restart the computer.  Please disable any firewalls or anti virus protection before starting the next step.
    When the computer is back up and running, please click on the following link for the HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Please save the download to the Desktop of the computer so that it creates it's own Icon.  Double click on the new Icon and follow the instructions.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • Searching problem after 10.5.6 Update

    Hello everyone, we are having a problem with searching shares mounted on clients from a server.
    Prior to 10.5.6 we could search an entire share as well as folders in the share. After 10.5.6 we can't search the share and we can only search folders in the share.
    The server is currently running 10.4.11.
    I guess what I'm wondering is... are there people with server 10.5 that are also seeing this problem or would upgrading the server fix this search issue?
    Thanks

    I recently installed the 10.5.6 OS upgrade and I've encountered a problem. I can no longer search my network attached servers - there is no search activity of any kind when I type in search terms. My local search works fine...I just can't search anything on my network ... windows servers. Is there a compatibilty issue between OS X 10.5.6 and Extreme Z-IP? Any helpful tips

  • Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates.

    Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates...so I know what not to install.
    Plenty of sites list and summarize individual patches, I want one that consolidates problems and complaints so I can better assess the risk. Currently I'm waiting to install patches several days and doing google searches. That works, but I'd rather find a place
    that does it with expertise.
    Which forums would be best to look for such problems.
    Thanks in and advance for suggestions

    Hi,
    I agreed with Cyber and Rick.
    Windows update helps to keep your PC safer—and your software current—by fetching the latest security and feature updates from Microsoft via the Internet.
    Although there might be some problems when installing it, Windows update is not the one to blame.

  • 3 Problems after jb 4.3 update

    stockmail exchange active sync shows only headers - no mail content
    bluetoth connect to my HTC One S didn´t work
    screen flickers when using virt. keyboard
    since everything worked well with 4.2.2 and there was no help from sony i decided to do a rollback
    !* same problems with 10.41.B.0.109 (last working version for me is 10.3.1.C.0.136 aka 4.2.2)

    hi.
    I contacted Sony about the Bluetooth / Wireless problem after the 4.3 update, eventually all I got back was that they're aware of the problems (Bluetooth) and are working on it for the next update. How long this will take is anyones guess.
    I find it incredible that they rolled out the 4.3 update because it has so many bugs, at least give us an easy way to roll-back to 4.2.2 ...... that actually worked!

  • Windows XP boot problems after latest BDM Installed

    Blackberry Desktop Manager 5.0.1
    Hi Everyone,
    I installed Blackberry Desktop Manager on a Dell Laptop yesterday and after a reboot it took forever to boot into Windows XP SP3 and when it did the machine was completely unresponsive.
    I eventually managed to get the Task Manager running and it turns out that the process called System was using 99% CPU constantly.
    Safe Mode took 20 minutes to go into Windows and again windows was unresponsive to the point I was unable to open the Control Panel and uninstall BDM.
    I tried Last Known Good Configuration to no avail and in the end I reinstalled the System from Scratch.
    I couldn't be 100% sure it was the installation of BDM that caused the problem because Windows had installed some updates so I figured a clean install would be a wise move.
    I clean installed XP and updated to SP2 and everything was working perfectly again this morning so I tried to install BDM again - same problem!!!
    The system is in a state of unresponsiveness again and I am trying desperately to get into Safe Mode to uninstall BDM which will hopefully restore my PC to a working state.
    Does anyone have any ideas I can try or has anyone else experienced this?
    I am relatively new to the Blackberry world but I am competent with Windows XP and a manner of technical issues but this is something that is really causing me a headache.

     I have had the same problem repeatedly since I first got the 'update avilable' message on my Dell xp sp3.
    I've found that turning off communication speeds up the computer so that you can go to a restore point or remove the program through the windows add/remove facility.  On my machine (Inspiron 6000) it is fn and f2 keys together.
    I did NOT have to rebuild my system.
    And thank you - I was beginning to think it was me

  • Arch doesn't boot up after Windows Update on Surface Pro 3

    Hi all,
    I am using a Microsoft Surface Pro 3. I have a persistent installation of Arch on a USB drive. It works very well on the Surface. The only problem I am facing is, whenever I run Windows Update, I am not able to boot from the USB Arch installation after that. It just guides me to the BitLocker recovery page. The only way to boot from the USB drive is to install GRUB on the EFI partition again. It'll work until the next Windows Update, but then again the same thing repeats itself. I am stumped as to how to resolve this.
    Disabling BitLocker doesn't work too, as the system then boots straight into Windows instead of going to the BitLocker recovery page.

    parag14 wrote:Would efibootmgr help in any way?
    You can check the boot order by using:
    efibootmgr
    You can set the boot order using:
    # efibootmgr -o xxxx,yyyy,zzzz
    Replace the letters with the bootnumbers given by the first command.
    You can probably use this method to reset Arch at the top of the list rather than re-installing GRUB.
