Lenovo Helix Driver Issues on Windows 8.1!!!

Hello,
hopfully some Tech Guys are reading this message.
Most of the Drivers, downloadable for Windows 8.1 are not working at all.
Due some reasons you can install them but they are not showing up in the Hardware list, instead the "Generic Microsoft Drivers" have priority.
Normally i would not care as long the System works but here are some major issues.
After the latest Bios Update the processor is mostly limited to 0.75 Ghz. This is mostly happen if you put your Helix in Sleep or sometimes even at Start up. So you have to restart multiple times. THIS HAS TO BE FIXED.
The most issue is the Sierra EM7700 Driver. Normally it should be listed under Com Ports and it is normaly gps nmea protocol compatible for use in GPS Software. This is not happen, after installation and restart the driver is shown as "Generic Network Drive" and even the "Location Service" is Generic and it is NOT working as gps nmea protocol. In addition it creates his own User profile what is kind of scary. THIS DRIVER HAS TO BE FIXED A.S.A.P.
That is the most importent for now, as i test more i will list more.
Please, somebody from Tech Support, give a Respond and keep in mind i am not a simple PC User, i am also Tech Support.
regards

Peter,
i tried something and apparently it worked out for me. Please try and report back.
Install the newest Bios for Machine and Keyboard
go into BIOS and modify the Power Profiles that it shows Max Performance in Battery mode instead of Balanced. (Not sure if that was the issue, but it works for now)
Start up your system and press the Reset in the Keyboard, wait a few Sec then Restart.
Perform a Shut down, then restart your System normaly
Open Task Manager, display the Performance, press the release and detach your Screen and look if the Processor performs normaly.
This was working out for me today, please comment if it works for you.
thanks

HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

Hello,
For some time now I have been unable to scan or print from my desktop (Windows 7 Professional 64bit) and I have exhausted too much effort and am now bringing it to the masses.
The problem:
Printing: Currently receiving an "Error - Offline" message in my printer queue at all times.
Scanning: Scanning has never fully worked on this desktop. I am always unable to communicate with the printer. (Though webscan works through accessing the printers IP address)
Things I have tried:
Ran HPPSDr, followed directions (Unpluged power to printer, turn back on, restart computer) brings me to this website after it cannot fix. (Note that while the HPPSDr is running it always notions that there is a driver problem)
Uninstalled Drivers from CD-ROM, re-installed, countless times
Installed "Windows 7 Pro 64 bit drivers" from the HP website and uninstalled, countless times.
Attempted to set a static IP and use "Update IP Address" to point specifically at the printers IP.
Installed Drivers and finding the printer myself through it's own static IP address.
Turned off firewall and attempted to print (after reboot), same errors
Setting up the printer on all of my laptops (3) wirelessly to attempt to find if there is a problem with the printer or static IP. (1 is Windows VISTA 32bit and the other 2 are Ubuntu 32bit). All laptops are able to use the printer wirelessly without any problems.
Read all of the forums about this issue and attempted all of the 'solutions'. Although I mostly don't see that anyone with this same problem is resolved, unless I'm missing the perfect post.
Things I have not tried:
Plugging the USB directly into the desktop. (This seems self defeating as the purpose for this printer was to be able to print wirelessly to it from across the room)
Re-installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit (Trying to avoid this, would rather just print from laptops)
You tell me
Curiosities:
I have noticed strange things that make me believe the driver is somehow incomptable with my OS. Here is a shot of the properties of the printer:
Weird that it is not recognizing the model number.
Also in the Printer Settings when I go to the port tab, there is no port selected, if I try and tab away it forces me to select a port, yet when I do and 'apply' and then re-open the Printer Settings in the ports tab; it has again unselected the previously selected port.
Theories:
I feel like my OS is just refusing to notice the IP address for the wireless printer, no matter what I have it set to, even if it's dynamic. It's like the driver for Windows 7 Pro 64bit is actually not the correct driver for my system.
Anyways, another thing to mention is that I am not currently willing to wipe my operating system and re-install Windows 7 Pro in order to resolve this just yet. I want to see if anyone else has any other avenues I can try before even beginning to consider that.
Anyways, thanks in advance for taking the time to read my ramblings and hopefully someone who has resolved this issue can help me.

Hi Zerosouls,
I understand you are having an issue with HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
First try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started
Restart the computer after this step and try installing Hp Officejet 6600 again.
Please let me know what happens
Thanks

Lenovo Helix - Clean Install of Windows 8.1 - Best way to load Software and Drivers

I am considering doing a clean install of the Windows 8.1 operating system on my Lenovo Helix. What I am wondering is if (After I install the operating system) there is an easy way to get all teh lenovo drivers and software loaded without having to download/install each of them one at a time?
If not, is there a specific set or order from which they should be installed?
Is there anything I would lose by doing a clean install of 8.1?
Thanks....

Sarbin,
I only have one device issue that has popped up. My keyboard has begun to work somewhat wonky. Sometimes if I am in tablet mode then switch to keyboard mode the keyboard doesn't respond. It will only respond after several reboots/shutdowns. Is there a good way to make Lenovo System Update reinstall the keyboard drivers? If you have any advice on fixing this issue that would be great.
I also thought I was going to lose all teh Lenovo specific apps when I did a clean install. I didn't. The only one I don't see is one which was called "Lenovo Experience". It was nice but if that is all I lost then I am ok with it.
I love this computer. Now it feels like new again....
You're welcome.
Some things I prefer to install manually, outside of TVSU. BIOS and firmware are good examples. Have a look through the driver listing for the keyboard/dock update and scan the readme. The behavior you're seeing may be part of that fix.
Looking at one of my Win8 OEM-preload machines, the Lenovo Experience shortcut points at "dxpserver.exe". Maybe that info will help pinpoint if there's an installer for the complete package.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

HP PSC 1510 driver issue with Windows 8.1

I can't get my HP PSC 1510 all in one to work with Window's 8.1. I've installed HP doctor and the driver fails. I've downloaded the new driver so I don't know what the issue is? Anybody solve a similar issue?

Hi @DerekRL , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I can see you're experiencing driver issues. I'd like to help!
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Display and driver issues with Windows 7 on i5 MBP

Hello-
I just purchased one of the i5 Macbook Pros, and set out to get Windows 7 working through boot camp. I did this on an older model (32-bit) previously with no problems.
This time around, installation of Windows worked fine, but I have had some trouble getting all the drivers working. The setup.exe program on the OS X DVD didn't want to run at all, I had to do a workaround from the command line that I found on a forum (otherwise I just got a response of "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model").
Eventually I got (at least some of) the drivers to work, but there are still some issues.
After installing the drivers, things like brightness and two-finger clicking started working. A number of other things still aren't, though:
- Display: My machine has a 1440x900 screen. But for some reason Windows refuses to go higher than 1280x800.
- Network: No wireless at all. Windows doesn't detect any wireless capability, and only gets on-line via ethernet.
There may be other issues, but these are the big ones. Can anyone provide suggestions on what to do to get everything working?
Thanks!

I just used winclone to move my Win 7 from my Core2Duo MPB to an i5 MBP and had to do a few updates and have eneded up in pretty much the same place as you. I won't bother installing from scratch. I'm guessing we just need to wait for some bootcamp updates for these new machines.
For those of you who are looking to migrate your bootcamp partition over, winclone made it easy - I followed the directions for resizing and Win7 boots, does a disk check, then installed many of the new drivers automatically. There are some drivers that are still needed however, wifi and video. I also so a USB driver issue but have to look at that a little closer before I comment.
Best of luck,
Simon

PT UML290 driver issue with Windows 8

Installed the windows 8 consumer preview. The operating system says there is a driver error for the usb modem. "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)" Need an updated driver quick! Researched online and I'm not the only one with this problem

I would like to add my request that Verizon work with Pantech to update the firmware and / or driver to make it work with Windows 8. I use a touchscreen table (Asus EP-121) when traveling, so did a temporary install on a spare hard drive to see how Windows 8 works. It is great for tablets.
I was able to get pretty much everything else to function perfectly, with a few small glitches. Understandable with a Beta operating system. The most serious, though, is that I cannot connect with Verizon because of this driver / device issue.
Windows 8 reportedly will have native 4G LTE drivers when it is released, intended for internal WWAN devices. So hopefully we can get something updated and working soon - it would be a great help when I travel!
Until then - yep, back to Windows 7 I guess.
Verizon has no control on releases by manufacturers. If Pantech makes it work then Verizon can deliver it. Windows 8 is a preview and Pantech is more than likely going to wait until the RC phase before doing any major work as beta releases could have major changes which would make you start over because the old code wouldn't work right.

X240 Network Driver issue with Windows PE

HelloI am working with OSD deployment in a big organisation. We are using SCCM 2012 SP1 to deploy new computers with our own image and applications. The new Thinkpad X240 is causing a big problem at the moment since we do not seem to be able to find an appropriate Ethernet network driver for the built-in Intel ethernet interface that is working in winPE 4.0. This is what happens.The computer boots, I press the F12 key, the computer presents a list of bootable devices, I choose the ethernet NIC.The computer PXE boots - it recieves an DHCP address from our server, downloads boot.wim, downloads the boot.winPE.boot.wim file and then starts winPE on the X240. It gets to "Preparing Network Connections", hangs there for a while, and then it reboots.If I use the F8 option and run ipconfig, it reports "Windows IP Configuration" and nothing else. If I run /renew it says "The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation". There seems to be no NIC available to winPE to start the Task Sequence with.I have downloaded the Windows 8 x64 Network driver and the Windows 7 x64 enterprise driver package Network driver from Lenovo, for this model and injected the Network drivers in the WinPe boot file. Neither of these drivers is working with the Network Interface in winPE. We do not have any problems with any other models, they all install with our SCCM 2012 SP1. Is there anyone who have experienced and resolved this? Kind regardsNick

Hello, I experiencing the strikly same situation with the same configuration :- SCCM 2012 SP1,- SCCM 2012 SP1 Boot Image x86 4.0,- Lenovo X240,- Drivers Lenovo SCCM package for Windows 7 (32-bit) http://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/downloads/ds038819- Task Sequence W7x86. No problem when deploying an adaptated Task Sequence with Lenovo X250. However, WinPE don't allowing the network adapter to get a TCP IP configuration when deploying with Lenovo X240. To resolve this situation, do you use :- the standard boot image in the Windows 8 DVD or a customized one with Windows ADK ?- your boot image is this a x86 type or x64 ?- In case of a customized Boot Image, have you, please, some advice to give to use Windows ADK ? Best regards

T530 Lenovo Ultranav driver issues

Hi everybody, I've had my T530 for a week or so now and really don't have any complaints. However I have been experiencing one software issue. I run Windows 8 Pro, and use two finger scrolling with the Lenovo UltraNav drivers, and whenever the system is under load, scrolling stops working for the touchpad, and for the UltraNav..
Has anybody else experienced this on other Lenovo systems? Lenovo really needs to fix their touchpad drivers, I've never had this issue on other systems before...

Hi, Blueraydude
I would recommend trying to download and install the Synaptics driver. Synaptics is the company that makes UltraNav, so you shouldn't see any loss of functionality, and it may work better for you. It can be found here.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Driver issue with Windows 8.1 on new iMac 2013

Just got a brand new iMac and am attempting to install Windows 8.1 on it. The Boot Camp Assistant kept timing out on the support software download so I downloaded Boot Camp 5.0.5033 from Apple support and put that on my external FAT drive.
I was able to get Windows installed, but when I attempted to run setup.exe off of my external drive, I got a "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" error. I was able to work around this by running bootcamp.msi from a DOS prompt in administrator mode at which point the install seemed to go through successfully.
Despite that, I'm still getting no love on WiFI, bluetooth, audio, etc. I'm attempting to download again through Boot Camp Assistant on the hope that there's a later version for my machine that's not yet available for direct download but am not optimistic.
Any thoughts/ideas would be great appreciated. Note that I am running the latest everything on the Mac side (recent 10.8.5 Combo).
Thanks in advance.

Actually, that link is exactly what got me in trouble. Use Boot Camp Assistant to get the drivers.
As of this writing, Boot Camp 5.0.5033 will not adequately set up your drivers on a new iMac with Windows 8.1.
The only way I was able to get the WiFi working was to use the drivers automatically downloaded by Boot Camp Assistant. Presmably this is a newer version than 5.0.5033 but I haven't been able to find it anywhere else for download.
I should also note that I was having some DirectX issues running graphics intensive software even after updating through Boot Camp Assistant. These were resolved by downloading the latest driver for my video card (GeForce 780M). There might be other issues that will require a manual driver update but I've yet to run into any more.
Best of luck.

Driver issues with Windows 7 installation through Bootcamp

Some background: I've got Windows 7 62 bit installed on a 30 gb partition via Bootcamp. My Macbook is from the summer of 2010, and it's currently running Snow Leopard. I don't have a copy of the Mac OS X installation disc (it didn't come with my Macbook), so instead I downloaded the drivers off the Apple website (Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033) and put it on a flashdrive.
Issue: Once I've got Windows running, I can't begin the driver installation.
Attempted Fix: Initially I got the message that I needed extended privileges to be able to access the installation setup, so I used the runaround (command prompt) to give it the privileges necessary to run the setup. The drivers appeared to install, but nothing really changed.
I used this runaround: http://joepetruska.com/wordpress/?p=208
However, I didn't have the file bootcamp64.msi, so I used bootcamp.msi. I checked all the driver folders, but I didn't see bootcamp64.msi.
Any and all help would be appreciated!

First of all, windows is either 64 bit or 32 bit, not 62 bit.
Second thing, do you have Macbook Pro? since you have mid 2010 macbook but it is not supported by the Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033 for MacBook Pro 13 inch-Mid 2010 is not supported.
Instead of this you need to download and install
Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4131
for which system requirements are :
MacBook (Late 2006 through Mid 2010)
MacBook Air (Early 2008 through Late 2010)
MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo, 2.4/2.2GHz, Early 2008 through Late 2011)
Mac Pro (Mid 2006 through Mid 2010)
iMac (Early 2006 through Mid 2011)
which matches your system requirement.

Sound Driver Issues on Windows xp 64 bit

Lately I've been working in a dualboot setup with the Lenovo N200 0769 AUU and running Windows 7 64 Bit and Windows xp 64 Bit. To my surprise, Windows 7 grabbed many drivers for the various hardware from the internet, but Windows xp did not fare as well (I couldn't even boot the setup disc without "Slipstreaming" some SATA Hard Drive drivers). At this point I've pieced together from various sources everything but the sound. The Display works - kind of; When I look in the Device manager, I seee two items under "Display Adapters" - "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and "Video Controller", both of which have little yellow exclamation points next to them. Every time I boot it says "Found New Hardware" and names the correct graphics chip, and I tell it where to find the drivers, it goes through the little "copying" thing all right, but says "Failed" on the very last screen.
The sound drivers are something else. It is currently identified as "Audio Device on high definition audio bus" under "Sound, video and Game controllers" with a little Yellow exclamation point next to it as well. Says "Code 28 - The Drivers are not installed". This is where things get downright weird. You can click "update driver" under the drivers tab, but nothing happens. Nothing at all. Nothing comes up asking where to look for to find the drivers. I've tried pushing "uninstall", but it just gives me this crap: "Failed to uninstall device. The Device May be required to boot up the computer".
These are becoming serious problems, so if anyone has any advice, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hmmm... I was thinking more along the lines of a repair instalaltion. I believe these systems originally came with Windows xp or that other Os that came between xp and 7, so I would think that since it makes best sense to bundle a 64 bit OS with a 64 bit computer, that there must've been drivers somewhere along the line.

64bit OS became mainstream after vista came in,earlier the CPU manufacturers introduced 64bit architectures to ensure that future Operating systems will run on them. You can still use a 32 bit app on a 64 bit version of Vista or Windows 7 though.If you have any such need to run an app for XP install Win7 6bit and use the older on it,should run fine..

Thinkpad T500 Wireless Driver Issue in Windows 7

The subject pretty much says it all.
I've installed Windows 7 (x64) and everything is working fine with the exception of my internal wireless adapter. I've tried all the Windows 7 drivers provided and also tried the Vista drivers (x64 when applicable). Still nothing. It's (as far as I know) the Thinkpad internal wireless as opposed to any of the Intel ones.
To rule out a few things, yes I've checked to make sure it's enabled in the BIOS, and I'm certain the wireless switch is on.
Anyone have any ideas or similar fixes?
Should it help, my exact model number is: (T500) 2242-CT0

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Try this, install the Hotkey Features, do a mandatory reboot, thereafter press Fn-F5 to radio on the wireless device, once that's done install the wireless driver.
Would be a good idea to check in the BIOS if the card is enabled in there.
Let us know the outcome.

MAC Driver issues after Windows 7 update

Hi,
I recently installed a slew of updates for my Windows 7 partition on my iMac. After updating and letting Windows restart my machine, the keyboard and track pad would not work. They show as connected in Control Panel, but when attempting to type or scroll I get nothing. I'm not sure where to turn and was looknig for some help here.
So far I've tried using BootCamp to update the drivers using BootCamp assistant and my USB stick. Using a USB mouse I was able to repair the 'Apple Software' Drivers. This did not work. I tried removing the USB 3.0 driver - No dice. I've tried rebooting into Safe Mode to see if there was any unrecognizable hardware - no dice. Not sure what else to do.
I do not want to reinstall Windows 7 since none of my data is backed up. I'm positive this has something to do with the update since everything was working prior. I just don't know what was changed that would affect the keyboard and mouse. The last updates were from 9/09, so the updates included everything from then until today. I want to avoid a system restore as well to not remove any security updates.
Also - when I press the power button behind my iMac, it immediately forces a shutdown. Normally a single press would put the display to sleep.
Any one else encountering this problem?
Thanks!

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

Weird DVD drive issue on Windows Boot Camp on Macbook Pro

Hi, I just installed Windows on my Macbook Pro with Boot Camp. Windows itself works fine, then I tried installing Fallout 3. The installation took a really long time, which I thought was weird. I tried to play the game but it timed out in trying to read the disc. To further test this, I threw in a movie DVD and tried to play it. Windows Media Player said I didn't have a compatible DVD decoder. I tried playing the dvd in Mac OS and it works fine. I've also run the Leopard DVD install for Boot Camp fine. I used the Windows XP video decoder and it has determined that I don't have an MPEG-2 decoder installed. What I'm confused about is that if I manage to get a hold of a decoder, will that affect other processes, such as reading the DVD for video games?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
by design courtesy of Microsoft the Media Player is not capable of playing DVDs unless an appropriate DVD-Decoder is installed.
You can use an alternative media player like VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc
But this should not affect the usage of Windows Games, since usually a Games manufacturer puts all needed software to run his games onto the games CD/DVD, so it has to be something else preventing Fallout 3 from running.
Time-outs when trying to read/check the disc can be sometimes caused by 'dirt' on the disc (fingerprints, scratches, etc.).
Check for that.
Also make sure to have not installed programs for 'Virtual-Disc-Drives' like Daemon-Tools and/or Disc-Burning software like Nero, since these can also hinder the game from running.
Hope it helps
Stefan

Endless iPhone 4s Driver issues in Windows 7

I have a brand new installation of Windows 7 in a VM. I've passed the iPhone 4s to the VM and Windows 7 shows that it's installing the driver. I keep getting the yellow exclamation mark next to Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. I've followed the support site on here about reinstalling everything, rebooting iPhone, computer, Windows 7, etc, everything. I'm out of ideas. Tomorrow's the last day before I can return my iPhone 4s and make the switch to Android. iTunes is the worse thing I've ever installed. Love the phone though, sigh.
Any ideas?

Ahh virtual box, yes if you are on MAC, virtual box never did support USB connections perfectly well. Problem with USB devices often fixed by going to preferences in Virtual box and designating a USB device before you start the VM. Host OS basically tries to use the device at the same time the VM does, so you go designate a USB device to a USB port, so that clashes are minimized.
This often happens with apple products on MAC OSx with Virtual box. I think they still havent found a way to make USB external HDs to work for the same reason. Unless you are using Linux. If you are using MAC I would stick with itunes on that. Works so much more fluently compared to windows you wouldnt believe it.
