Lenovo WIndows 8 Resources

Resources for Windows 8, including a list of supported systems, upgrade advice, and drivers, can be found on the Lenovo Support Express site:

I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

You guys (aimed at any Lenovo employees btw, not the volunteer!) should quit falsely advertising that systems that are capable of the upgrade when they really aren't. The ideapad Y480 is listed on there but if it has the 1TB HD, 32GB SSD, like mine, won't upgrade in the way specified on ya'lls Support Express website for Windows 8.
(What I'm guessing though is that the 'reputable' Lenovo employees who created the Support Express site for Windows 8 just threw together a list of systems they assumed would work without testing anything. )

    I am running Windows 8.1 Pro.
    I have been experiencing problems that lead me to believe the my component store is corrupted.
    When I run sfc /scannow sfc immediately comes back with "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the required operation.

    Thanks.  Unfortunately, this isn't good news.  The CanonicalData key is missing.

    Unfortunately, its a small, but unrecreatable subset of data.  If this is missing, servicing is broken on the machine and the system will need to be restored from backup or PBR.
    So you will need to try a refresh or a re-install of Windows, unfortunately.
    Hope this helps,

    How can I increase the resolution so I can read the text

    Hi Jim
    Think Young, but it is already "large"

    JIm, you can make the text larger....look at the Interface Tab on the Preferences menu and you'll see several different Font size options (although there are less on OSX apparently). Make a selection, then close and restart Lightroom for the change to take effect.

  • Installing Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade in a new hard disk

    I have an U330 and I have received Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade disc. My pre-installed OS is Windows Vista.
    I bought a new 500 Gb hard disk and I want to change my U330's hd for this new one AND also want to install Windows 7 in this new hard disk.
    Question: is is possible to install windows 7 using Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade discs directly in this new hard disk?
    Or do I need first to change the hard disk (and restore backup or restore factory default) and then upgrade to Windows 7?
    Thanks in advance

    I dont think it is possible,the upgrade disk will check for a eligible version of Windows vista before starting the installtion
    Cheers and regards,

  • Lenovo Windows 7 Upgrade questions (please help)

    Dear Lenovo Community:
    I recently purchased a Thinkpad T500 and signed up for the Lenovo Windows 7 Upgrade Program.  I have a few questions that I haven't been able to find the answers to elsewhere.  I was hoping some of you could help:
    1) Will the Lenovo Windows 7 Upgrade disc include both the 32 and 64 bit install options?  My T500 came loaded with Vista Ultimate 32, but I would like to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 if possible.
    2) I've recently heard a lot about the Lenovo Enhanced Experience.  Can anyone briefly explain what this is?  Will I be able to take advantage of all the EE features with my T500 using the Windows 7 Upgrade?
    3) My computer came pre-loaded with 3 drives (or maybe they're partitions?): C:, Q: (Lenovo), and S: (ServiceV003).  How will these drives/partitions be affected with the Windows 7 Upgrade if I opt for a clean install?  Will I be able to eliminate the Q: and S: drives if I want?  (I have a Samsung Solid State Drive by the way, in case this matters.) 
    4) Finally, when will the Upgrade discs be shipping?  Lenovo and Mentor Media have been rather silent about when we will receive our upgrades.  Can we expect an e-mail update indicating that our order has shipped?
    Thanks for your help!

    1. Bit foggy on this. Will have to do a clean install for sure. Not sure if 32 and 64 bit are on same disk. As you have ultimate, you might be at an advantage here.
    2. Look at the videos in other threads. You will get "some" of the benefit. I'm actually guessing wiht a clean install, you will have afaster machine than one of the EE ones with all of the crapware
    3. re-partition into a single drive. They will be of no use to you. Or, pop out the drive and clean install to a new SSD ($250) or WD Scorpio Black ($75) drive for extra speed. I'm doing this giving me the option of putting the old drive back in to have Vista in factory condition if I ever need to (I don't expect to and will probably wipe the drive and re-use it in 6 months).
    4. Other thread suggested 1/2 have shipped and rest will ship next week.

  • Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

    A close friend's machine was blue screening on boot so he had me take a look at it.  The error in the BSOD indicated Windows was having trouble reading from the drive.  Although the drive wasn't clicking, based on what I was seeing, it seemed pretty
    clear the drive was on its way out.  I ran chkdsk, several times, and it found plenty of bad sectors but wasn't able to really fix anything.  Fortunately I was able to
    clone the drive using gparted
    run chkdsk
    fix the master boot record, boot sector and boot configuration data store
    run chkdsk again
    Now all is well
    Upon booting I noticed the system was dreadfully out of date: Firefox, Java, Reader, Flash - the works - so I updated all that.  I also noticed it was missing something like 50-70  Windows updates so I had to straight that right away.  It
    managed to install 15-20 before failing with 80070057.  This to me isn't too uncommon so I rebooted thinking it wouldn't choke next time. Much to my chagrin, any subsequent attempts fail with error 80070057.  I even tried installing just a few updates
    at a time, even just 1, and the error persists.  My assumption is that one or more files are maybe damaged and need to be fixed.
    I ran sfc /scannow and it gets to about 27%, then fails with "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."  I did the following:
    backed up the existing CBS log
    ran sfc /scannow again
    watched the log in powershell via Get-Content C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log -Wait
    It started out strong

    C:\Windows\system32>
    I've run into sfc issues in the past, and in one instance, booting the OS install DVD, and running sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows did fix the issue.  But I have to ask
    Is there no way to do that while in Windows?  Can't I mount some WIM and do it that way instead of booting the DVD?
    Is that the right course of action, or is/are there some other options I should explore?
    Thanks for your time & guidance.

    Hi,
    In my opinion, if you want  SFC to use a sourcepath to repair your system, you can just use in-place upgrade to do this:

    Thanks for taking the time to reply and for this suggestion.
    The in-place upgrade is a wonderful potential solution, but the process requires the source media.  Most systems these days don't include the OS or recovery CD's because the manufacturers want you to pay for them.  And most consumers aren't spending
    the $50-$70 dollars to get the media, which complicates things in situations like this.  So while they've purchased a machine and have a valid Microsoft COA sticker on the box, they can't do anything.
    Also, to make matters worse, I posted this in the wrong forum as this is a Vista Home Premium PC.  [My sincere apologies for that. Mods please feel free to move/reclassify]  I do have a Vista Home Premium DVD, but its the 32-bit version, not 64-bit,
    which is what this system is.  So unless I can locate a Visa Home Premium 64-bit DVD, or they upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 (which they probably should do anyway), we're sunk.

  • Lenovo windows not visible (Fn+F5/Vol/Bright)

    Hello all, new to the forums and looking for some help with my S10 Ideapad
    I cant say for how long, but lately, Ive noticed that the Lenovo windows that display notifications for changes are not coming up.
    I will press Fn+F5 for the wireless settings, to toggle WiFi or newly added BT, but no window pops up, nor does the wireless status change (remains on) - I can only toggle the setting by pressing the physical WiFi key at the top of the keyboard.
    Same goes for the volume settings and the screen brightness settings using Fn+arrow keys, though the values do change.
     Normally, I wouldnt care about this, but I am not sure the hard-key for WiFi wil allow me to toggle the BT settings, once I install the card.
    I have not changed anything (that I know of) other than the Windows bubble notifications at the start bar (through RegEdit) and I doubt this would have any effect on a Lenovo program.
    I have gone through MsConfig as well, making sure all programs begin at start up, but no change there either.
    I did see there is a hotkey fix for other Lenovo pads, but Im not sure it will fix the problem or just add to it.
    http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=Special_Interest_Utilities&message.id=2892#M2892...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks

  • SFC problem - "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service"

    We are trying to attempt to fix a Windows 2008 start up problem. We boot the machine from a Windows 2008 CD and go to the repair tool - command prompt.
    When we do the command sfc /scannow, we are getting
    "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service"
    We did some researches there someone suggested the trustedinstaller is not running so we tried to do a net start trustedinstaller.
    But We are getting
    "The windows modulers instaler service is starting
    The windows modulers instaler service is starting could not be started
    A system error has occured
    System error 1067 has occured
    The process terminated unexpectedly. "
    Anyone can give us an idea to see why we can not run the sfc the first place. Thanks

    SYMPTOMS:
    All attempts to run command:
    sfc /SCANNOW
    keep returning the following message:
    "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service"
    SOLUTION:
    If you are using any kind of boot image/disk to boot up, you will have to use the "offline" switches (OFFBOOTDIR & OFFWINDIR) along with the SFC /SCANNOW command in order to start repairing your instalation properly.
    please remember to tripple-check for corret partition letters, because this is a crucial parameter for SFC to start working properly.
    also make sure to confirm whether so called "recovery" partion exists in your specific scenario or not. If so, in most cases this will render the "recovery" partition being the one to be set as a boot partition (OFFBOOTDIR) within sfc command, while Windows
    system folder (OFFWINDIR) will actually reside on a different partition.
    My scenario is described exactly above and therefore in my case boot partition letter was C: and system partition was D: ...As of that - the proper command line to run SFC successfuly was:
    sfc /SCANNOW /OFFBOOTDIR=c:\ /OFFWINDIR=d:\Windows
    Successful scan for integrity of all protected system files and replacement of incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions then looks like this:
    X:\sources>sfc /SCANNOW /OFFBOOTDIR=c:\ /OFFWINDIR=d:\WindowsBeginning system scan. This process will take some time.Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. Details are included in the CBS.logwindir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
    Once SFC scan completed, I have run the Startup Repair from the repair dialogue menu prior rebooting the system. Remember to click "Cancel" on the prompt for using the System restore in this step. I am assuming you have tried this already time ago and confrmed
    it did not resolve the problem, but most importantly - you really would not want to overwrite the files, which you have just repaired with any possibly corrupted ones ;)
    After this I've unplugged bootable USB key with the My Windows Vista Enterprise 64bit setup disk image and restarted computer. System booted up properly on first attempt. No issues have been identified as a result of my post boot checks. This completely
    resolved the issue in my case. Should you have questions, please let me know.

  • Windows Resource Monitor update speed

    Is it possible to change the update speed of Windows Resource Monitor (ie. the rate at which resource monitor re-draws the screen with the new sampled data, similar to what we have in Task Manager since ages)?
    If the answer is yes, how?
    If no, why there is no way? Currently it re-draws the screen every 0.5 seconds, so its extremely difficult to observe data if it keeps changing so frequently.

    No, that's not what I am saying.
    The performance monitoring tool uses a protocol to request data from all kinds of sources, including remote sources. This protocol is not a streaming protocol. I don't know the exact implementation, but from what I can tell it is a query / answer protocol.
    There is a network layer in between, there is a service on the other computer communicating, that service is gather all kinds of health / process data.
    Having to speed up the data logging frequency will produce a performance overhead on the other computer. That is probably one of the reasons that they never updated the protocol and the software to e.g allow you data acquisition frequencies in the 10s
    of milliseconds.
    To make an analogy: suppose you have a family car, with the standard engine, gearbox, and supporting parts that go with it. If you want to make that car go a lot faster, a lot more is needed than allowing you to push the pedal down further. The engine needs
    to be able to deliver more power, the gearbox must be able to transfer the pwoer, etc.
    The windows infrastructure underpinning the performance monitor is not designed to transfer and collect data in millisecond speeds. There is no 'easy' way to make it go faster because it was never meant to do that, just like my family car was not designed
    to drive a formula 1 lap. the great flexibility and variety of the data it can collect is one of the reasons it is not meant to do this.

  • SFC - windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them

    Hi,
    Having run SFC on a Windows 7 laptop we get the warning:
      windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them
    Examination of the cbs.log shows the following two files causing this:
      Cannot repair member file "DHCPQEC.DLL" of Microsoft-Windows-Dhcp-Nap-Enforcement-Client
      Cannot repair member file "no_rl.cur" of Microsoft-Windows-Shell-acccursor
    Any idea how to fix these?
    Are either of these files important or can we just ignore these errors.
    Thanks,
      Nick

  • Render component for painting without adding it to window resource?

    I am creating a printing utilitiy for my applications that involves using a component renderer similar to many of the java classes. Ideally, I would like to do the following:
    class PainterComponent extends JPanel implements PagedDocumentPainter {
      void paintDocument(PagedDocument doc){    
         Graphics2D g2 = doc.getCurrentPage().getGraphics();
         this.paint(g2);
         //do any additional rendering
    }For some reason the component above is not renderable (does not have a size) until it is first added to a JFrame or other window resource.
    Is there a way to prepare this component for rendering without using a GUI resource? setSize does not work.
    Thank you!
    Edited by: jayse.brock on Mar 10, 2008 11:06 PM

    I've only ever worked with building Swing applications which take care of the painting for me- all I have to do is tell them (the Components) where to be placed.
    I've just recently started working with the Graphics class, and for my first experiment I'm making a GraphicsTester class that is basically a JFrame. I do not add anything to the JFrame.
    However, I have a class MyShape,
        class MyShape extends Component {
            // Fields
            public final static int SQUARE = 0;
            private int type;
            // Constructors
            private MyShape(int type, int w, int h) {
                super();
                this.type = type;
                Dimension size = new Dimension(w, h);
                setPreferredSize(size);
                setMinimumSize(size);
                setSize(size);
            // Methods
            public synchronized Point getLocation() {
                return super.getLocation();
            public void paint(Graphics g) {
                switch (type) {
                    case SQUARE:
                        g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
                        g.drawRect(getLocation().x, getLocation().y, getSize().width, getSize().height);
                        g.fillRect(getLocation().x, getLocation().y, getSize().width, getSize().height);
                    default:
                        return;
        }Obviously I'm going to add more constant values that represent other shapes (TRIANGLE, CIRCLE, whatever) so I can test each one. The reason getLocation is synchronized is because I am implementing a way to 'move' the shape, and it involves multiple threads.
    Anywho, I draw this component using a render loop,
    while (!done) {
                    Graphics g = getGraphics();
                    shape.paint(g);
                    g.dispose();
    }I do not have to add my instance of MyShape (called shape ) to the JFrame to get it to be painted.
    It paints right where I set its location, and with the size I created it with (in the constructor).
    Don't know if that helps you, since I'm still designing this program, and I'm still a Graphics newbie too, but thought I'd share the experience.

  • Where can I find informatio​n if there is going to be Lenovo Windows 8 support for the W510?

    Where can I find out if there will be a Lenovo software and drivers pack for Windows 8 for the W510?

    'morning.
    keep an eye on this page: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-​tips/detail.page?DocID=HT074688
    right now, your W510 is on the 'supported' list. i wouldn't be surprised to see links added to the page pointing to model-specific win8 support pages once the os is generally available.
    hth.

  • Lenovo Windows 7 PID

    Hello!!!
    I have a WS520 and windows 7. The taskmanager does not show a PID (process Identification niumber) and I need it badly. There are other troublesome sifference. The taskmanager window is missing. I suspect the differences are in the registry, bit I can't swear to it.

    Solved!

    Sorry but that part of the problem, my taskmanager does not have a menu! - just the display.
    Renee
    ok, that makes sense... and i've got the answer for you.
    your task manager is in 'small footprint' mode'.
    to change back, open task manager and double-left-click anywhere in the border between the window edge and the thin line demarking the information section of the window. right above the column headers is a good place.
    try it and post back.
    cheers.

  • NO Lenovo Windows 8.1 Recovery DVD for CLEAN INSTALL! + unable to Install UEFI MODE

    Hi,
    I Just bought 25 Thinkpad T431s Laptops for my company (@ISRAEL)
    All of them came with windows 7SP1 Installed And Recovery is Windows 8 (not 8.1 even though 8.1 is out for a yr!)
    The Install process takes 3 Hours!!! Just for upgrading to windows 8.
    Then I need to upgrade to 8.1 - the process is about 3 hours more! Because I need to Register And create Microsoft account for each user then to verify the account.
    After that I need to Log with the account to the PC And then Download the update (3.5GB) And Install it.
    IS ANYONE AT LENOVO THINKS THAT ITS ACCEPTABLE?
    DO I WORK FOR LENOVO? DO I NEED TO SPEND 6 HOURS FOR UPGRADING EACH LAPTOP?
    Don't forget that after that I need to uninstall all the bloater from the PC. Like Symantec AV (Because Enterprise company's uses Enterprise Class AV, FW And other software. We uses Kaspersky Enterprise, ESET, And others...)
    AND ABOVE ALL.
    If I want to Install Original Windows 8.1 I can't!
    Because the OS Recovery DVD is not bootable And contain special recovery files with special extensions. Also, there is no PRODUCT CODE! Just "WINDOWS 8" sticker logo on the back of the notebook.
    SO I WANT TO KNOW WHERE AND HOW(!)
    I CAN GET A WINDOWS 8.1 ORIGINAL ISO IN ORDER TO INSTALL IT ON ALL MY PC's.
    I want to know why I can't Install Just the "OPERATING SYSTEM RECOVERY DISK" (A standard clean Install)
    == When I tried with my own Windows 8.1 Pro VL \ RETAIL ISO to Install it didn't pass activation==
    ==================== not even with the extracted key from the bios=====================
    FYI - WHEN I BUY DELL OR HP LAPTOPS I'M GETTING A WINDOWS 8.1 PRO X64 BOOTABLE DVD DISK in addition to the 2 DVD RECOVERY DISKS. (So I am able to Install windows Without all the that you And them put into the recovery disk set).
    Customer service in ISRAEL said that this is not possible! And that the only way is:
    1. Use the 3 DVD recovery disks to format And Install windows 8.0
    2. Register the user with a Microsoft account
    3. Log in to each PC with his own Microsoft account
    4. Download 8.1 update from Microsoft store
    3. Install the 3.5GB update.
    4. uninstall all the bloater.
    So can I please ask you to confirm the answer I got from LENOVO ISRAEL. If So, ill return the laptops And that will the last time ANY OF MY COMPANY'S WILL EVER BUY ANY NOTEBOOKS OR TABLETS FROM LENOVO!
    In addition, im trying to figure out how can I contact Lenovo main office to file a complaint against Lenovo Israel.
    CEO Ms. Sigal didn't do anything to try And solve the issue, the product manager Mr. Many talk with me on the phone And was very rood. At the end he hang up the phone in my face! After I proved him wrong in another issue (T440s T431s cannot be installed with UEFI Because External DVD drive does not support UEFI Install only Legacy. And there is a big different between Legacy And UEFI)
    Thank you.

    Hi ohad, welcome to the forums,
    I'm sorry to read about your experience. 
    I don't work for Lenovo but it would appear to me that something may have gone wrong at the sales / purchasing stage; to my knowledge the T431s is only available with Windows 7 preload, (with Win 8 recovery discs in some cases as you have), or with Windows 8 preload. A Win 8.1 preload doesn't appear to be available for the system, but I stand to be corrected on this.  If you required Windows 8.1, in my opinion the better option of the two, would have been a system with the Win 8 preinstall as this would only require updating to Win 8.1
    Unfortunately I also can't envisage Lenovo creating a factory image for the T431s because it must be pretty near end of life.
    You might find the following to be of interest;

  • Lenovo Windows 7 Upgrade Program site is broken (forcing 64-bit to 32-bit)

    When I attempt to register my T400 for upgrade to Windows 7 the website offers me the incorrect upgrade.
    If I set the Original Windows OS installed to: Windows Vista Business 64-bit
    the Eligible upgrade Windows 7 product is: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
    The opposite is also true; original Vista Business 32-bit -> upgrade Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
    Other version upgrades also give the same problem.

    Use ABR tool to backup your product key.
    Download a 32 bit version of your windows 7
    Install, then activate with with your old product key, and install all drivers as needed
    If you want a copy of the Lenovo disc:
    Lenovo media can be ordered in 32/64 bit versions for ~$45
