Lenovo T520 Optimus - IE9 32 Bit Crashes

Hello:
I've been unable to use IE9 32 bit because it crashes shortly after I open the application.  I've disabled evey add-on and it still occurs.  Read something on Lenovo support that something with Optimus causes this.  To temporarily resolve this, I had to use "Software Rendering" vs navtive GPU acceleration.  I installed the latest drivers but the issue remained.  
Has anyone solved this problem without using "software rendering" option?  I"m getting used to the IE9 interface over IE8 and would like to switch.  
Thanks,
C.

Hi ThorsHammer:
Thanks for the suggestion with Adobe Flash.  I uninstalled all the Adobe Flash software on my T520.   Restarted the computer and installed IE9 and then reinstalled Adobe Flash 10.3 as web sites required.  Left GPU acceleration TURNED ON.  I haven't had any problems so far.  Let's hope this continutes.

  • Sluggish Performanc​e & Audio Problems in Lenovo T520

    I have experienced strange problems with my Lenovo T520 (specifications: i7, 6GB RAM, I can post detailed configuration). The problems are:
    The audio quality is noisy. What I find strange is the audio quality for the same song worsens when play in VLC media player (more noise) v/s when played in Windows Media Player
    The performance is sluggish and the system freezes when moved. What I mean is if I am watching a movie and lift the laptop from one place to another. The movie freezes while moving & audio stops. Once stable again the video and audio synch up again
    Trackpad unresponsive: The trackpad get unresponsive at times, but the Trackpoint is working fine.
    Could you post a solution to any of the problems?

    For the sluggishness....
    (1)  Make sure the power cord is plugged in.  I know...sounds dumb, but I had the same problem with my new T520 and I saw a thread on here stating that Lenovo thought it would be a great idea to make your new T-Series laptop run slow when on battery.
    (2)  Closely inspect the "Power Manager" profile you're using.  I noticed that even the "Maximum Performance" (or whatever it's called) profile was set to NOT best use the CPU.  In Power Manager, click "Advanced" at the top to go from "Basic mode" to "Advanced mode", then click the profile you want to use from the vertical list on the far left.  Then on the right side, expand the first drop-down category called "Performance" or something like that.  Now there will be two columns under that category...battery on the left and AC power on the right.  On the AC power column set the drop-down box to the "Maximum Turbo" setting.

  • Lenovo t520 running hot

    Hey was wanting to get some input from other users with this laptop. I have the lenovo t520 with nvidia optimus. My concern is the cpu is running really hot. The max temp for the core I5 is 100  degrees celsius. Under load my cpu is running at 98C. Was wondering if i should be conserned or if this is normal for these laptops. I havent had any shutdowns from overheating but I do get a lot of micro studders from the cpu throtteling to control the heat. Since my laptop is out of warranty I cant send it in for repairs without paying out the, well you know. 
    I was thinking about using software to make a custom fan speed plan but there doesnt seem to be a program that can actaully control the fans speed. Another option would be to upgrade the thermal paste to some artic silver 5 still got a tube laying around somewhere. Thanks for any input guys.

    Hi shoted45,
    It wouldn't be a bad idea to clean the dust out of it and change out the thermal paste.
    Here's your Hardware Maintenance Manual .  Page 89 shows how to take out the thermal assembly.

  • Lenovo T520 Gaming Upgrades

    Hello everyone, I have a Lenovo T520 with the following specs:
    Intel i7-2720QM  (2.2Ghz Quad Core)
    4GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM
    NVIDIA 4200M 1GB Discrete Graphics
    500GB HD
    I am awaiting the release of Diablo 3 and am slightly worried about my laptop's gaming performance. First off I have an extra DIMM slot so I was thinking about adding additional RAM if needed, I ran Crucial scan and it says I can run RAM speeds 1600Mhz, read around and places have said the max for this model is 1333Mhz so I could used that cleared up. Also, I am worried mainly about my GPU performance, I know the 4200M is a business model GPU and may have hard time with the application, is there anyway to upgrade the GPU in this model or is it part of the motherboard? Or do I even need an upgrade, Diablo 3 suggest GeForce GTX 260 GPU as the base model. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I just went back into the BIOS and looked at the options list. Intel HD, Discrete & Nvidia Optimus. I don't know the logic behind this but Nvidia is a discrete graphics module. However, with the Nvida option (which is the 3rd) I have both display adapters showing in device manager. No set the DISCRETE, I have only the Nvidia 4200M (one graphics adapter). I booted loading detected new hardware, loaded drivers (apparenty not the same as Optimus mode) and came up in very low res. After finishing it needed another boot and in HiRes. Benchmark is now 5.2 for Aero from 4.6 a big jump but the Intel HD 3000 should have been higher in my opinion and the 5.2 in nothing spectacular. I've seen other systems in stores with dedicated graphic doing 5.9 easily including the AMD A8 APU system much higher. This is not the best video chipset for a T520 grade notebook. I never heard it used before, G550M & G555M yes.
    I wonder why the ThinkPad support techs don't know this. I've been in IT support systems for 2 decades and if I had my hands on this and supported it I would know that and light years more. It appear they're merely script flowchart techs speaking english.
    At least I can now use the power of the video. In the dual display adapter setup I am not able to control when the system should use discrete graphics which is wrong.
    Thanks for you NOTE earlier on the BIOS settings suggestion.

  • Sharepoint 2013 explorer view error - problem opening this location in file explorer (HTTPS + Win7 Enterprise 64 bit + IE9 32 bit + Office 2007 32 bit)

    Hi,
    We have a problem using Sharepoint 2013 explorer view. (Error - We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this web site to your trusted sites list and try again).
    I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit, Office 2007 32 bit and IE9 32 bit. And the sharepoint site is a https site.
    Some people in my organization are able to browse and some users getting the above error. (with the same client machine configuration)
    If I clear my browser cache, closes the browser and open it then the explorer view is working. But after a minute if I try again I'm getting the above mentioned error. This 1 minute expiration happens is since the first time I have used explorer
    view, not since I opened the browser.
    I have tried the following on my machine:
    1. Modified the web client service to run automatically.
    2. Verified the sharepoint site is part of trusted sites (https://*.spsite.com/)
    3. Compatibility mode is turned on.
    4. Tried adding
    AuthForwardServerList in the webclient registry settings under parameters. (restarted the web client)
    5. Verified the BasicAuthLevel set to 1 (since we are using SSL). Tried setting the BasicAuthLevel to 2 as well. (restarted the web client)
    6. Tried installing software update for web folders (KB907306).
    Verified the below on the production server:
    1. The web application has the root site collection.
    2. It has WebDav Publishing disabled under IIS Web Server feature.
    Could some one please help me in resolving this issue?
    Thanks.

    Hi  Deepak,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to use "Open with Explorer"  in a document library.
    For your issue, please verify the following:
    ActiveX controls must be enabled in IE.
    As you are using Windows 7 Server as the client computer, you must install the Desktop Experience feature from Server Manager.
    Make sure there is a working Root site collection.
    Install this hotfix for windows 7 work with sharepoint 2013 :hotfixv4.microsoft.com/.../463266_intl_x64_zip.exe

  • HOW TO FIX HD AUDIO/UNKNOWN DEVICE/DEVICE WON'T START LENOVO H320 Win 7 64-bit

    Fix for - HD Audio devices won't start or you can't load correct driver. Lenovo H320 - Win 7 64-bit I-3 processor. 5 series/3400 chipset
    Here is a working procedure to fix the problem when you install windows 7 64-bit and can't get the correct drivers installed for the HD Audio devices 1)Realtek AC97 HD Audio device id = HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0662&SUBSYS_17AA3604&REV_1001
    and 2)Intel HD Audio device id = HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8086&DEV_2804&SUBSYS_80860101&REV_1000 Regards >>> Sucromatic
    For an IBM LENOVO 320 with Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium Version download these drivers to a directory in a second partition to prevent this nightmare from happenning in the future.
    1)AC 97 high def audio version
    Realtek HDA 2.67found on http://wikidrivers.com/wiki/Main_Page or at www.realtek.comon right of screen on homepage and
    2) Intel HD GRAPHIC and HD Audio version
    Intel GMA 15.22.52.2559 (Vista/7) 14.46.8.5387 (XP)
    found on
    http://wikidrivers.com/wiki/Main_Page.
    Select your OS and and whether 32 or 64 bit. I recommend the .exe version as it works very smoothly. Uninstall HD AUDIO DEVICE or whatever it is called maybe "unknown device" with ac97 device ID "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0662&SUBSYS_17AA3604&REV_1001." Afterwards install AC 97 HD Audio Driver.
    After install reboot and wait till computer completely starts.
    Now uninstall Intel HD Graphics or your graphics device. When you get the uninstall box open, select delete the driver software for this device and then OK. When prompted to reboot select NO and Immediately start the install of the Intel GMA driver. Which installs both the Graphics Adapter and the Intel HD Audio. Reboot when finished and all HD Audio devices will be functional (hopefully). You will now have these versions installed. As shown in device manager/device properties/Driver tab
    Now uninstall Realtek AC97 driver you first installed to delete annoying Red Lexmark/realtek icon in Notification area (If your computer shows it after reboot) and windows driver update will install a microsoft driver (shown below)that works without the stupid lexmark red icon. See below. You will now have these versions installed. As shown in device manager/device properties/Driver tab 
    High Definition Audio Device
    Driver Provider: Microsoft

    Voila. Now go to intel and run a driver update scan and it will likely correctly identify your Intel pieces and offer downloads for any that are not current. Good Luck!

    Both are referencing cooltype.dll. I ran Font Doctor on all system and non-system fonts and found no errors. Booted without Extensis Suitcase loading. Nothing works. All 32 bit programs work fine. Any clues would be appreciated.

    It does not necessarily mean a "corrupt" font, but can be a font that PrPro, and PS, cannot handle.
    Though I have read that changes have been made, Open Office's DejaVu font would crash PrPro's Titler - every time. There are quite a few others. Font Dr, and similar utilities, will not see the font(s) as corrupt, but they are so poorly designed, that PrPro and PS cannot deal with them.
    Though it can be a long, drawn out process, one can often zero in on the problem font(s), with a little work. This is accomplished by first defining the "System Fonts," and not touching them. Then, uninstall half of the remaining fonts, and testing PrPro and PS. If they launch fine, you know that somewhere in that list of fonts, the problem exists. If there is still a failure to launch, chances are good that the problem font(s) reside in that half, that are still installed. Note: because the problem still exists, does not guarantee that there are NOT problem fonts in that uninstalled group, so keep that in mind.
    Repeat the proces, by uninstalling half of the remaining fonts and testing.
    If necessary, repeat by removing half of the now remaining fonts and testing.
    When you get to a point, where you are no longer getting problems, reinstall fonts, in small groups, testing in between. The smaller the groups, the easier it will be to pinpoint the problem font(s).
    Keep notes on which fonts you are uninstalling and reinstalling, until you narrow it down to the problem font(s).
    I would start by uninstalling any "free fonts," and then commercial, 3rd party fonts. A lot of free fonts are just poorly designed, and can cause issues, though they might work fine in some other programs.
    I use a font manager, so that I only have ~ 350 fonts installed at one time, and then dynamically install fonts, as needed for Projects. That keeps my machine clean, and if, upon installation, I get a crash/hang, I know that at least one font in that Set is causing it. This helps, as my workstation has ~ 19,000 fonts on it, and some are free fonts, and many are from 3rd parties. Some are also very, very old.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - one common cause for hangs on loading PrPro can be from VST's, used in Audio-editing. If you also have a lot of VST's, you could have two issues with two separate programs, i..e. PS hanging on fonts, and PrPro hanging on VST's. The results would be the same, but the causes could be different. That leads to even more work. For PrPro, also see this ARTICLE. If you get PS launching, but PrPro is still not functioning, drop by the PrPro Forum, and someone can help you there.

  • CS6 (64 bit) crashes 'Bad Pool Header'

    Hi All,
    I just installed Photoshop CS6 International English and the 13_0_1_1 update.
    Bridge standard and 64 bit both work. CS6 standard works. CS6 64 bit crashes with a blue screen 'Bad Pool Header'.
    I reinstalled CS6 and the update. No change.
    Windows and all drivers are up to date.
    I have been using Photoshop for many years - starting with v 6. I have been using CS5 64 bit on this system since it came out with no problems. CS5 64 bit is still working with CS6 installed.
    CS6 64 bit is the only program to have ever given me this error on any computer I have ever had.
    Custom built system:
    Asus motherboard M4A78-e
    AMD Phenom 9950 quad 2.61 GHz
    8 GB 1066 MHz Corsair ram
    Ati Radeon Sapphire Vapor-X HD4890 1GB memory
    Enermax Revolution 85+ power supply
    Zalman CPU 9950 fan
    Lian-Li PC60FN case
    Windows xp professional x64 service pack 2.
    Thank you for taking the time to read about my problem and thank you in advance for any suggestions.

    Dear Mylenium,
    I can see from your profile you have been very active on this forum for many years and have undoubtedly helped too many people to count. However, your certainty and negativity belies my experience, both with CS 5 64 bit and with CS 6 Bridge 64 bit, as you can see from my initial post.
    I took your suggestion and opened the Event Viewer. There were no logs to read. I looked in the properties of each of the log types in the events window and went to windows\system32\config\ just to be sure. Is there anything I can do to trigger creatitng an event log or should I look to finding the info in some other way or place?
    Thank you for taking the time to respond.

  • Adobe Reader X 10.1.3 IE9 64-bit issue

    Hi,
    We are using Windows 7 Professional Build 7601 SP1 and ie9 (9.0.8112.16421) 64-bit edition.  We have also installed Adobe Reader X 10.1.3 on this computer and set it as default application to view PDF.
    When we open a page that has inline PDF, we cannot see PDF in IE9 64 bit browser window. The 32-bit version of IE9 shows the inline PDF but 64-bit version shows red cross mark. We would like to run following statement in the HTML page to view PDF.
    <embed src="20120309.pdf" width="400px" height="400px"></embed>
    We also tried iframe but that opens PDF in new Adobe Reader X Window.
    How can we open the PDF inside the browser window in 64 version of IE9? Any help / clues will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Vaibhav

    Hi Pat,
    Thanks for your reply. Is there a 64-bit vesion available for Adobe Reader X or 64-bit add-on that supports 64-bit version of IE? I checked in Adobe Reader X ver.10.1.3 release notes and it is clearly mentioned that Reader X is compatible with Window 7 64 bit version.
    If possible, can you suggest alternate ways of achieving our desired functionality?
    Thanks

  • Problems in IE9 32 bit browser but not 64 bit

    When I delete a message(s) in Yahoo Mail or when I go to my mortgage website and login, I get a blank page and then nothing happens.  I only get this problem in IE9 32 bit and not 64 bit.  I reset IE9 Options under the advanced tab, updated Java
    and Adobe, but the problem still persists.  I also did a viral scan using MSE and MalwareBytes and my computer is clean.  Can someone help.  Thank you

    IE9 is fairly old, upgrade you browser.

  • Acrobat X does not open pdf in IE9 64 bit

    Hello,
    well the title sums it up really. When I click on a pdf link in IE9 64 bit, the whole Acrobat X program opens. I would like to open it in the browser. Acrobat X Pro internet settings are set to Display pdf in browser.
    Thanks

    Thank you for your answer. You were right that I was running 10.0.0 so I updated but to no avail.
    I googled somewhat and some posts refer to the ActiveX folder of the Acrobat installation (although it was about Acrobat 7).
    My ActiveX folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\ActiveX) only contains only 'SelectPageRange.ocx'. Should there be more files?
    Can I check the presence of Acrobat ActiveX in IE9?
    Thanks

  • Embedded Flash videos play on 32 bit Win7, not on 64 bit Win7, IE9 32 bit

    Hello,
    I have two PCs.  One is running 32 bit Win7 SP1, the other 64 bit Win 7 SP1.  Both have IE9 32 bit and the latest version of Flash 32 bit, 10.3.183.7.  This page http://www.iorr.org/talk/read.php?1,999739 and others at iorr.org have embedded YouTube Flash videos.  On the 32 bit machine, they play fine on both Admin and Standard accounts.  On the 64 bit machine, the embedded videos are only visible on the Admin account.  Standard accounts show an empty box with a broken icon symbol where the video should be.  (Note:  not trying to use IE9 64 bit.)
    I've spent a couple hours uninstalling and reinstalling Flash trying to see the videos on a Standard account on the 64 bit PC.  Nothing works.  Any suggestions?  Note that normal Flash videos work fine on the 64 bit PC Standard accounts.  Only embedded videos fail.
    During this exercise, I noticed that the 32 bit PC has the Flash Player Control Panel under Control Panel->System and Security.  The 64 bit PC does not have it there, but I can manually bring it up from a CPL file in the SysWOW64 folder.  Not sure if that's part of the problem or a different problem.
    Thanks for your time.

    I spent hours and hours on the same problem. My computer has a slightly different configuration. I am using Win7 32 bit, but experienced the same problems. Embedded Flash is working under Admin account, but not under other accounts. Many de-installs and re-installs, but nothing seemed to help. Until I found this internet post:
    http://superuser.com/questions/244316/embedded-video-is-not-shown-in-internet-explorer-9-r c-or-beta
    The solution offered in that post solved all my problems. Hurray!!!
    Solution:
    * Open REGEDIT
    * Find the following key:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-shockwave-flash
    * Delete the key
    * Re-install flash
    * Problem solved (in my case)
    In the replies of the above mentioned link another solution was given (in stead of deleting the key)
    * Right click the above mentioned key
    * Change the access rights and allow all users read access to the key (did not check this myself)
    In order to keep the solution safe in this thread, please find a copy of the info in the link above here:
    In IE 9 RC or in beta, the embedded video is not shown in the web page. I verified the security settings in "internet options". Did not find any issue. Please find the screen shot below. I am able to view the flash videos in Youtube. But, for some reason, in some sites the embedded video is not shown.
    I don't have this issue with Firefox.
    UPDATE:
    I am able to see view the embedded video in Admin account. But not able to view it in Standard account.
    UPDATE:
    As it works as administrator, use Process Monitor and filter the Status on ACCESS DENIED.
    This allows you to troubleshoot what key the iexplore.exe process can't access.
    @TomWij, Thanks for the suggestions. The Process Monitor hint helped to nail down the issue. When run with standard privileges, it is getting "ACCESS DENIED" for reading the key
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-shockwave-flash. 
    When I elevated the privilege to Admin account, it did not have any issue. Then I uninstalled flash, deleted the registry key and then installed flash again. Now, I am able to view the embedded video in standard account.

  • Lenovo t520 screen going dark

    My lenovo t520 just came back from the repair center to get a new motherboard and I have started noticing a weird issue with the screen. Whenever I go on a website that is primarily dark (like the bckground is black), the screen gets quite dark. And then when it goes back to another screen (like where it is priarily white) the screen is alot darker. After a while the screen gets brighter slowly. I checked the brightness controls and they are always on full bightness through this whole thing.
    Is there some auto screen brightness efficancy system i do not know of or is my screen just broken?

    Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.
