New S10 4231 - Experiences with Windows 7?

All
I just purchased a S10 for my wife, and I have a 2GB ram card on the way.
For those of you that have an S10 and are running Windows 7 RC, what has been your experience?
Any gotchas to be aware of?
Are you running the Vista version of the energy management program?
thanks

Well, did not hear anything here, but my other resources say that Windows 7 runs great on the S10, so the machine will have it soon after Windows 7 goes gold

Ideapad S10-3 Webcam Problem with Windows XP

Hi folks,
I own a Ideapad S10-3 shipped with Windows 7 Starter.
Because Windows XP is much faster on this machine, I installed Windows XP Professional SP3.
After Installation I downloaded all S10-3 Windows XP drivers available at the lenovo site for S10-3.
No installations problems so far, the webcam was working and recognized as Lenovo EasyCamera
Vendor ID: 5986 Product ID: 0190 Rev: 1409. Driver Provider is displayed as "Vimicro"
After a few days using the netbook, one day i started windows and the new hardware found wizard started and recognized a new USB Video device and installed the UVC driver from Windows. This "new" device has Vendor ID: 0ac8 and Product ID: 3450 Rev: 0130. The old webcam with the old IDs isnt shown anymore in the device manager. (only if you set var "devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1" and enable "show hidden devices")
When i try to use the webcam the light beside the webcam turns on, but no picture is displayed. No matter which program i try, the webcam isnt working anymore.
Because of the different device ID it isnt possible to install the lenovo webcam driver, but basically the webcam should work with the UVC driver provided by windows. I find it totaly strange that the webcam is showing up suddenly with a different device id.
When windows is running theres an process VM322_STI.exe running, its part of the Webcam driver and gets installed.
This is the second S10-3 Netbook on which i have this problem, i returned the first one because of this problem.
Is someone here, who is also using the S10-3 with XP or has an similar problem ?
EDIT: I read about the firmware update problems/issues with the old S10 models, but theres no Firmware on the S10-3 website i think, so i didn't think that i accidently flashed a wrong firmware to this webcam. I only used the Device manager to install the webcam driver. Or is it possible that the firmware is included in the driver package?
regards
RaiHei

IT's working again... very strange ... the driver on the lenovo site for this webcam seems faulty, i uninstalled it, and after the reboot the old cam with the old device id is back in the device manager ... i now use the uvc driver and NEVER install the lenovo driver again... just because of the driver i returned my first s10-3 .
Also very interersting: After the cam didnt work in Windows XP anymore, i recovered the original Win7Starter from an complete hdd image (which i made before installing win XP) and in Win7 the cam wasn't working too. Because of that i never thought that it was a driver problem, because the driver and windows xp was deleted when i recovered the original win7.
so my recommendation: DO NOT install the lenovo driver, let Windows XP use its own UVC driver.

I have tried everything to get my new ipod nano to work with Windows 8. Do I need to install new drivers or what?

Got a ipod nano for Christmas. Installed already bought tunes on it with my computer at the time which was running Vista OS. Had to buy a new computer in March with Windows 8. Did not buy any songs until April 29th or so...but they will not show in my ipod nano. Talked with a tech and he got my songs into the new computer. However, after we hung up, I tried to download the 2 new songs into my ipod and it would not do it. I noticed that the "cloud" icon was not by any of the songs - only the word: downloaded. I am thinking that since this is a 64 bit computer that I need to do something else, but don't know what. Can you help me? Thank you

So you have tried a different USB sync cable and as well as plugging it into all the USB ports on your system? Did you try removing all other USB peripherals (excluding keyboard and mouse if necessary) to see if that did any good?
What happens if you connect it to another PC or Mac?

New MBA and Parallels 6 with Windows 7

Hi everyone. Can anyone tell me if they've tried the new MacBook Air with Parallels 6 and Windows 7? Any problems?
I'm seriously consideirng buying a new 13" MBA for work (which requires Windows) but want to make sure they "play nice" before I make the plunge. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Keith

Hey all!
I just thought I'd chime in! I have loaded Parallels 6 to run Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro. I had 4 GB of RAM on my MBP and found I would get some pretty slow performance when running Parallels. It all depended what I was doing. I used Office 2007 alot and Visual Studio.
I upgraded to 8 GB of RAM and it was the best Mac decision I've made since buying my MBP. I bought it from an eBay store for $120 and installed it myself... unbelievable difference!
I would like to ask, why are you choosing the MB Air? I have never really played with one but it seems very limiting - not upgradeable, basically no ports, no CD ROM.
For the same money, you can get a MUCH more powerful MBP. The MBP is pretty thin and light-weight anyway. I'm just curious what the niche for MBAs is.
Good luck with your Mac purchases... any Mac is a good Mac!

THe new macbook fit to work with windows OS

Did the new mac book support Windows Xp Sp2 using Bootcamp? Any problems using bootcamp on the new macbook?

Kappy wrote:
Yes, Boot Camp works fine with all Intel Macs.
Indeed it does, as does Virtual Box. http://www.virtualbox.org/
I run both. V Box is slightly more convenient because I don't have to shut down OS X to use it, but for running games then Boot Camp is best.

New HP 110-010ea PC with Windows 8 - & Xerox DocuPrint 12 laser printer which won't print

I had one reply via the forum, which wasnt good news. Although my Xerox printer is 13 years old it has never gone wrong and I really need to continue using it. I was told that I could, but so far no joy.
Any help would be much appreciated please.

Hi JustJan8:
Thank you for you inquiry.
I am sending you a link to a Xerox document " Microsoft®Windows®8Compatibility with Xerox® Equipment"click here.
I do not see the DocuPrint 12 listed as being supported.
Here is a link to" DocuPrint Support and Drivrers" click here.
This page states they will not be developing new drivers for this model.
You could try running"MS Fixit" click here to see is Microsoft has a driver that could be used.
Please let me know the results.

New Macbook Aluminium 2.0Ghz with Windows Vista

I am looking at getting the new Aluminium Macbook 2.0GHz. I am wanting to also run Windows Vista with Parallels. Will this machine handle running Leopard and Vista at the same time without any problems?

I run leopard + Xp at the same time, and Xp starts up in just about 13 seconds (pretty quickly), and it works pretty good for what i needed it for (not games, if you want games do it through bootcamp). Anyways answering your question it should work properly except i sugget having 4 GB RAM and not expecting to be the fastest machine running vista since some of the resources will be used in leopard (but you should be fine anyways)

I installed the new iTunes 11.1.4 with windows and when I plog in my new iPod, I get a warning notice telling me to install the 64-bit version, how do I fix this problem?

Please Help I don't know what to do
I just installed the new iTunes 11.1.4 and when I plug in my iPod touch, it sends me a warning note
telling me that the requested software is not installed, to uninstall iTues and install it again with the 64 bit version
I've already tried it but the same thing happens

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

New MBP 17 inch Problems with Windows Vista, and BF 2142

Hello!
So I just have 2 little issues that bug the **** out of me. OSX runs flawless. I love it.. But I use Vista to run Battlefield 2142.
So my first issue is the microphone. If I go to close the lid of the MBP, I get feedback from the speakers, and microphone. Even though I have the microphone on mute for Vista, it doesn't mute the microphone all the way.
If I Hook up a headphone to the output jack I can close the lid since it disables the MBP speakers.. But all my tapping and grunting can be heard via the heaphones.
Does anyone know if there is a fix? Or why the **** Vista isn't muting the device properly?
Now my other issue is Battlefield 2142.
I can get it running only when I have a External monitor plugged into the MBP, and the Lid is closed.
If I try to run Battlefield 2142 without a external monitor, and using the Display of the MBP, it crashes.. I have tried a ton of different Resolutions, and it is always the same story each time.
If anyone else has had these issues, and has found a solution, please share.
Thank you!
P.S Oh, another thing. I have a Quad G5 that I run Logic Pro on. It came out right before the Intel Mac Pro machines. If I sold the G5, and and used this new Macbook Pro, would the Macbook Pro that I now have perform better than my older G5 in Logic Pro?

found a fix. has to do with the ini file... just had to do more searching on google.

New ipod does not sync with Windows

Just bought an a 30gb ipod. I imported my old "Creative" mp3s into Itunes 7. When I connect the iPod it displays "Do Not Disconnect".
It's showing in iTunes and when I clicked on SYNC iPod I got a message that certain tracks couldn't be copied as they weren't found (101 to be precise).
In fact it's not copied any music to the ipod at all.
And how long should I leave it before I disconnect it???
Any ideas?
Cheers
Dick

Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Why isn't itunes 11.1.3 installing on my new VAIO laptop with windows 8.1 (64 bit)?

I am trying to install itunes on my new VAIO laptop 64 bit with Windows 8.1 operating system. At the end of the installation, as soon as itunes is trying to open, an error message comes up, saying "an error has caused the program to stop running." I tried the compatibility troubleshoot, it says "incompatible program". Does that mean, even latest version of itunes can not run on windows 8.1? If there is any solution, please advise. By the way, I have tried to run it on compatibility mode for windows 7 , windows vista etc, no luck. Thank you.

I've downloaded CS 5.5 on a new Lenovo with Windows 8.1. The application area is too small to read. Why?

I want to know why the Adobe Audition CS 5.5 loads on my new Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with Windows 8, but the application window fonts are too small to read.

The device is probably equipped with a High DPI display. The most recent releases of Audition CC (7.1 and above) support High DPI displays, but older editions do not. You can reduce your resolution or adjust how fonts and text are scaled at your current resolution in the Windows Display Settings control panel to help improve this, but the need for multi-resolution assets and text support did not exist when Audition CS5.5 was released.

How do I authorize my new computer with Windows 8?

I recently recieved a new computer (A notebook PC) with windows 8 and I decided that I would like for it to have all of my purchases from Itunes on it. I promptly downloaded the app, signed in, and attempted to download my music from my account. Then a message appeared stating that only authorized computers could download previous purchases from my account. I went to the website in search of a way to authorize this new computer, but to no avail. I was wondering if anyone could help me authorize my computer so that I can finally listen to my music. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:
