Issues with using 6.0Gb/s drive with W520 and Windows 7

I ordered 2 ThinkPad 500GB 7200RPM SATA 3.0GB/s 7mm 4K hard drives and was instead shipped 2 6.0GB/s drives. Even though the outside of the box has the correct configuration that I ordered. I installed the drive in the W520 and tried to run my company's OS installation script. This script encrypts the hard drive then does the installation of the OS, apps, Windows 7 drivers, updates SP1, etc. I got the BSOD several times during the installation, It took two times before I got the completed install. When I login I get BSOD plus many apati errors and the system hangs all kinds of ways. It's usually the display that goes back to an empty wallpaper but the mouse works and there are no icons on the desktop. I can startup and go into safe mode with networking and never have a problem. I called Lenovo Tech support and they say there are no special drivers needed for the 6.0GB/s type of drive and encryption does not matter. I have gone through Device Manager and ran the update driver option on all ATAPI controllers, disk drivers, Bus Host Controllers, chipset, etc. There are no errors in Device Manager. My thought is the 6.0GB/s is causing some conflict with something, perhaps refresh rate, disk read/writes, page file, I/O, memory, etc. Just don't know. Have searched the web and do not get much help. There is some talk about cables for 6.0GB/s but not much info.
Any ideas? Thank you all.

I too have a W520. I have a SATA III hard drive in my primary bay - no problems. I have booted off a SATA III SSD in the Ultrabay, also no problem. I don't believe your troubles are SATA III related.

Any issues with PE7 and Windows 7?

Hi All,
I am considering purchasing a second computer. I have had great success with PE7 and Vista, But I can't get Vista on the new Alienware I want to buy. So, has anyone had any issues with PE7 and Windows 7? I have read many posts where there are issues with PE8 and Windows7.
Thanks, Stan

It's a toshiba laptop.
4 gig DDR3
core duo
320 hard drive - partitioned
I also use a dual screen - 22" lcd monitor
I don't use it a lot, since I have a desktop. I've noticed having a
dedicated video card makes a world of difference in editing. This might be
your problem; a dedicated high end video card is the way to go.
If I do simple compilations I don't have any problems. I usaully am making
a DVD of soccer games. If there is a lot of special effects I'll use my
desktop that has XP.

Driver issue with IQ770 and Windows 7. Cannot find a current one.

The drivers for my GPU are outdated and I'm having great difficulty finding anything current. GPU is an Nvidia Geforce 7600 Go. My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit edition. The updated drivers available on this site are for Vista only and not Windows 7 apparently, as I receive an error message when attempting to install the them from here. Also there is no option for Windows 7 on the driver download screen. I get an error message stating "Minimum system requirements are not met," or something to that effect. When I go to Nvidia's driver page and use both the automatic driver scan and searching manually, I find the correct file. However when i attempt to install this one I get an error stating "Install was unable to locate any compatible drivers for this product. Setup will now exit. I'm wary of removing the the outdated driver I have and trying to update fresh, but I'm running out of options. Anyone have any ideas? Sorry for the overly verbose post, just trying to include as much info as I could. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Here is a backup of some of my windows 7 drivers. I have all these drivers installed on my system.

Issues with airport and windows XP

just installed XP on my mac (cant believe i just typed that!) and running airport extreme and expresses (no WEP) and can connect on the macbook running OSX (10.4.6) no problem. boot into XP (pro) and i get a connection, strong signal, all that jazz, but when i launch explorer, no connection. I have tried to ping google.com from the command line, again, nada.
But the signal strength is good on the XP side, and connecting fine when logged in on the OSX side.

Beatriz,
Not that we know of, but honesty forces me to say that we haven't tested it ourselfs yet, since we still use Windows/2000.
On the other hand, from my experience issues with CDM always were more dependent on the version of the browser
or Word you are using and less of Windows versions. It would not surprise me if using the Word templates with
Word from Office XP would know some issues. Those would than be caused by changed behaviour in the way Word
deals with macro's.
What the rest of the iDevelopment Accellerator Suite concerns, this can be easily found out by checking the
compatability of Designer and Developer against Windows XP.
With kind regards, Jan Kettenis

Issues with CDM and Windows XP?

Hi,
My client is planning an upgrade to Windows XP Professional. They use the I-Development Accelerators, including the CDM.
Are there any known issues or problems with using CDM in an XP environment?
THanks,
Beatriz.

Website Owner having new issues with Clients and Windows 8

I own a website that has a home-programmed chat. We've been in business about 12 years without any issues with compatibility. The chat is programmed in C and runs in a standard browser.
Lately I've had a few users (3 or 4) that have upgraded their machines and can no longer run the chat.
Most users that use Windows 8, or 7, or Vista, or whatever, have no problems. They can use the latest versions of IE, Firefox, Chrome, whatever they choose.
However, these users with problems can use none of the above.
I've gone through standard programs that block a chat, like firewalls and other spyware preventions. Shutting these off doesn't resolve the problem. Conflicting programs doesn't seem to be an issue, either. They aren't touch screen so I don't believe it
is a problem with the video card.
So that brings me back to the OS. The common thread seems to be that they are HP computers, and they have a new install of Windows 8. I think that there might be a missing DLL or other C Library that HP's installation of Windows 8 might be lacking.
Any suggestions on if I'm on the right track, and more importantly, how do I fix this problem?

Hi，
Seems this is a web-based chatting program, I suggest you add the site to a compatibility view list, (launch IE, Tools\Compatibility View list) then check this issue again. Check the error message and infromation recorded in the event viewer to find out
the cause.
Make sure the computers have all the latest updates, especially for video and audio drivers.
Clear the cache\temporary internet files in IE, or test this issue in a no add-ons mode.
From your description, it also sounds like a "defect\bug" for the chatting-program on Windows 8 on HP computers, if so, it should be related with development. you may find more help in the developer forum

How do I use an external hard drive on Mac and Windows?

How do I format an external HD for use on Mac and Windows? She has two laptops and have to use both.

format the external for Mac and use MacDrive or HFS+ for Windows on the windows side.
use the FAT32 format and live with the "4-GB-per-file" limit
format the drive NTFS and install e.g. the NTFS 3G driver on the Mac.

Compatibility Issues with CS2 and Windows 2000 XP??? This is supposed to be THE one operating system CS2 DOES WORK ON? Can someone help - I really need my CS2 back! Thanks.

HELP! Years ago - SEVEN to be exact- I PURCHASED Adobe CS2 and used it extensively. Then I was in an accident that took five years to recover from. After my recovery I tried to get back to using my Adobe products only to find that Adobe was discouraging use of CS2 and since I OWN a LICENSE and that was the LAST version I used I wanted to begin again with a version I am familiar with. Many months later, apparently I wasn't the only one who wanted to KEEP USING CS2 and now Adobe has made it possible to download this version for PC and MAC, BUT due to OS compatibility issues Adobe continues to discourage downloading and use. HERE'S THE THING: I have the SAME SYSTEM running the SAME OS as when I first PURCHASED IT. I have downloaded the EXACT SAME VERSION of CS2. It installs fine. But I cannot OPEN the application and the troubleshooter reports there are "COMPATIBILITY ISSUES". WHY?!?!?!?!?
I'm on a PC running Windows 2000 XP. I OWN a LICENSE for Adobe CS2 and it used to run on this very same machine. I had to re-format my system two years ago so it has much more free space but when I try to OPEN the application it won't run. When I run the Windows Troubleshooter it reports system compatibility issues?! Can anyone advise me what to try now??? Thank you.

Yes, I have. My system was completely cleaned of everything and I'm just now RE-INSTALLING CS2 for Windows2000 XP from the Adobe site that gives you versions to select for your OS. I have successfully downloaded disks 1,2 and 3 and I can INSTALL disks 1 and 2, but it FAILS at disk 3. I REALLY need to resolve this today because I need to submit some work by tomorrow and the troubleshooting isn't helping!
Can you advise anything else . . . anyone? Thank you!

Issues with Adobe and Windows 8

I'm trying to use Creative Cloud's free trial run, but I have come up against a HUGE issue. For the last four weeks, I have tried in vain to get CS6 to install on my computer. I have a Dell Laptop with Windows 8 (which I am already quite disliking), and I have tried a multitude of methods to get the programs to install. I have tried using the adobe download manager (the download fails after downloading every time), directly downloading the programs (to which I get an error when the instillation is at 99% saying I don't have enough disc space, and I have plenty), changing the ULA(?) code in my registry to get the instillation to run, and trying to run the install under Window's 7's settings, to no avail. I'm getting extremely frustrated, is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this a common problem with Windows 8?

Hi Automatic motion,
Try disabling non microsoft startup services viz antivirus etc ( Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-servic es-windows.html ) and then try installing.
You might also want to enable the hidden admin account ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-adminis trator-account-on-windows-vista/ ) and then try install in this account and check.
You can also troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5 -cs5.html.

Burning issues with itunes and Windows Vista Ultimate

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit version. Since loading itunes on my new computer I can not burn a CD. The message that I receive says that there is no burner available. I know the burner works because I have burned music out of different software programs. I have loaded and reloaded Nero 7 but I am finding that is not the problem. Itunes does not recognize any type of CD burner on my computer. Any thoughts?
Thanks

paul's onto it.
if you run your DVD/CD diagnostics (in itunes "help > DVD/CD diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics) and you see a 2380 error showing up down near the bottom of the diagnostics (you may need to scroll down a bit), try reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers iTunes uses for importing and burning.
here's a link through to the GEAR drivers. note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit drivers. be sure to get the one that matches your hardware:

HELP!! Issues with iTunes and Windows 8.1.

So I recently upgraded to a new laptop with Windows 8.1 and I have been experiencing some issues that I need assistance with. So far the issues I need help with are:
When I try to get album artwork for my songs, it gets through a small fraction then just kind of freezes.I have a lot of songs and albums but I have never had this problem before.
When I try to connect to the iTunes store, it takes quite awhile and then I am left with either a blank screen or album/song/etc. names and no pictures.And when I click on another link, it takes forever (again) and I experience the same issue while trying to travel to the new page.
I don't know what else to do and I can't figure out a solution. Please help me!!!

Hello RavensFan94
For both your issues, it sounds like you are having a hard time connecting to the iTunes Store to get album artwork and viewing content. Check out the article below for some troubleshooting options to get it working again.

File sharing issue with Leopard and Windows XP

I had no problem with file sharing (see the Windows machine on Leopard) before I reinstall the XP and update to SP3.
Now I cannot get the XP shared disk displayed on Leopard Finder. I looked through some guides and check these:
Both the two laptops are in the same workgroup called "WORKGROUP";
XP firewall disabled;
XP Guest Account enabled.
But I just cannot get the Windows icon back to the left column of my Finder. Have I missed something? Any body with any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Same problem but almost the reverse. 10.5.2 server, windows clients file browsing, opening and saving speed is great, but our 4 iMac clients (Leopard also) really, really slow to generate thumbnail views of files and open them. Happens across several shares, seems to be a problem with AFP, although now after disabling AFP on some of the shares, it is happening on SMB as well. I have read several other discussions on this forum that attempt to deal with AFP performance issues, but none provide a real solution. Now that it is also happening with the SMB protocol as well I am getting a bit concerned.
Any advice or even a link to more info would be greatly appreciated.
