NVidia K2000M and Windows 8.1 on W530

For hte 2nd time in as many months my W530 is complaining abiut my Nvidia K2000M graphics card and will not load any drivers for it. The first time this was fixed by a motherboard replacement. 
I have contact support and they tell me that the motherboard for this machine W530, will not fully support Windoiws 8.1. I find this frankly amazing to hear, especially since:
a/ I only bought it in January
b/ I have been running 8.1 on it since then (mostly with success)
Additionally I can no longer revert to 8.0 as my system refuses to allow me to restore via the recovery partitions.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks

W530 supports W8.1, I have been running it since I got mine early 2014.
Did you make sure you are running the latest BIOS before upgrading to Windows 8.1?
I never ran into any issues, I installed Windows 8.1, then installed ThinkVantage System Update, and let it do all the remaining work (installing drivers).
Make sure your BIOS is up to date, maybe that is the problem here. The latest Nvidia Quadro ODE driver from www.nvidia.com also works for the W530.

  • 945GM2-F, Nvidia 7950GX2 and Windows Vista

    Hello I have a rather strange problem.
    I have a 945GM2-FI motherboard running a Nvidia 7950gx2 graphics card it runns great on windows XP.
    The other day I desided to install windows Vista, to make the story short Vista wont run at all with the graphic card and this motherboard but runs fine with the onboard VGA.
    After searching up and down on the internet about this I found that the solution might have something to do with the motherboards BIOs is it possible to get a beta BIOs with bether support for Vista/Nvidia cards?
    Cheers Vegar

    Thanks for the advice.
    I have done so now.
    I was thinking in the line to get a new motherboard, but its rather hard to get something like the 945GM2-F as it has 4 memmoryslots and an optical SPDIF out. This seem to be rare on Mini-ATX, atleast as far as I know.

  • Nvidia Graphics Processor (windows Vista) crashes on CS6 and works on CS5

    Nvidia Graphics Processor (windows Vista) crashes on CS6 and works on CS5

    Hi Steve in Palm Desert!
    I see you are running Windows Vista.You know that Vista is not supported for CS6, right? It is not prevented from running, but not supported.
    That known, what video card do you have ? Do you have the most updated driver?  My laptop is brand new and I had an outdated video driver right upon delivery.
    Maybe that could help.
    Check out the following links about supported OS and Video cards:

    [nVidia Series] Installing Windows Vista and drivers

    hello welcome to the forums
    do you mean that you have a windows xp that came as a part of a lenovo system?and you want to upgrade it to vista using vlite or your own customized vista installation right?i think you must be quite familiar in slipstreaming service packs into windows installation discs and ofcourse you can also include drivers and all stuff like wallpapers if you like!
    if you have further quiries regarding slipstreaming service packs go through the link given below
    http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/xpsp3_slipstream.asp
    if you are confortable with slipstreaming you will be able to slipstream lenovo's drivers into the iso image
    Cheers and regards,

  • RemoteFX and windows 8.1

    Hello,
    I am currently running a VDI environment with server 2012 servers including a RDCB, RDVH, RDSH, RDWA and windows 8 clients. I am using remoteFX on the windows 8 clients with the help of 3 nvidia Quadro 6000 cards. RemoteFX works perfectly in windows 8; however,
    I built a windows 8.1 VM and remote FX will not work in this VM. When I log on to the vm and look under device manager the remoteFX device is listed but it gives an error of 43. All of the vm's have one monitor set in the remoteFX settings. In the event viewer
    of the windows 8.1 VM I am getting an error under RemoteDesktop Services vGPU-kModeDriver "The virtual GPU synthetic devie failed" and the other accompanying error is "The RDVGM kernal mode driver failed to start" I have removed all of
    the windows 8 VM's to confirm that all of the available memory of the GPU was not used and this didn't get any different results. The only difference I see is that one guest os is windows 8 and the other is 8.1. Does remoteFX not work in windows 8.1 by chance?
    Both OS's are Enterprise as well.
    Thanks for any help,
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
    Sorry for the late.
    I think the edition of win8 VM that has been enabled RemoteFX is enterprise .
    (To use RemoteFX , guest os on hyper-v host should be enterprise edition )
    For details please refer to following link:

    Additionally, if you Google "Windows 8 tips", you will find many excellent articles posted on the internet.
    Windows 8.1 upgrade suggestions:
    There are some important steps to take prior to doing the upgrade.  Review this MS posted document. Be sure to run the upgrade assistant.
    Be sure that Windows 8 has all of the latest MS updates installed. There are prerequisite patches that are required.
    Be sure that you have at least 40 GB of hard disk free space.
    Back up your data to external media.
    Make a Windows 8 recovery media to external media before doing the upgrade.  I prefer to use a third party hard drive imaging program.
    Temporarily disable the antivirus software.
    You will need to reinstall your programs after the upgrade so make note of which ones are required.
    Check the HP Support site for Window 8.1 updates for your particular PC.  If you don't see any updates then your PC has not been tested/certified with Windows 8.1.

    I've been running 64-bit Windows 8 Consumer Preview very nicely for several months and want to upgrade to 64-bit Windows Pro on my Pavilion a1440n. When I've tried to install from within the OS I get weird messages indicating that it can't be installed on a USB Flash drive (which I'm not trying to do). When I tried doing a clean install I got an odd message saying that certain installer files were missing and it would not complete. I called Microsoft customer support and the agent there thought my cpu would work because it wouldn't support Hyper-V, even though I understand that it optional. From running coreinfo.exe I can see that I have the PAE, NX, and SSE2 on the cpu enabled as meets requirements.
    When I ran through th HP site I saw that this machine has not been tested. Is there any way of getting confirmation that Windows 8 Pro 64-bit will or won't run on my machine? The HP Product code for it is ER904AA#ABA.
    Thanks!

  • The Browse in Bridge option in PS CC 2014 doesn't launch Bridge, but instead opens the window of the Creative Cloud desktop app instead.  This behaviour is on both Mac and Windows.

    I recently installed all the of CC 2014 applications and noticed that in Photoshop CC 2014, when I choose the "Browse in Bridge" menu option it doesn't launch Bridge at all.  Instead it opens the Creative Cloud desktop application window instead.  I have the latest version of Bridge installed as well.  If I have Bridge running, the menu option also just opens the CC window and doesn't bring Bridge to the front either.  I have PS installed on both a Mac (10.9.3) and Windows (8.1) and the behaviour is the same.

    I only Run windows and my install of CC 2014 works correctly and launches Bridge CC.  Bridge CC was also updated to launch CC 2014 and not CC 14.2.1.

  • Nvidia 173 and kernel 2.6.28 compile failure & nvidia 180 crashes

    **please if this the wrong place to post this tell me or transfer so i can know**
    Hey , im having troubles with my Nvidia driver for long time now i hope you can help me solve it out so theres the deal :
    my computer is : NVidia Geforce 9600 GT , intel E8400 core duo , rest aint important i think
    I used ubuntu with this computer on drivers 173 and 177 (nvidia) and its worked just fine. someday ubuntu upgrades it to the 180 series and from then X never started. so i used my Windows XP some where the 180 drivers wasnt so well functional and crashed pretty much alot. then i downloaded opensuse 11 where i hoped my problems will be solved but instead all i got is :
    [images]
    http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9379/dsaf.png
    http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/9462/dsaa.png
    [images]
    **this problem occur randomly after X amount of time**
    **when this happen on gnome in arch its or im realy lucky to hit the "alt + F2" and execute "metacity --replace" in time so i will have approx 40 seconds before its happen again to save all my things and restart X , if im not lucky X freeze and computer freeze and i must hard reset**
    i moved from opensuse because its was very slow boot time and because of the graphic drivers in this stage i got myself Arch x86_64 CD , followed the wiki configured network and xorg and everything also installed the "nvidia" package via packman its worked for some time (1 day ?) and then very same problem of opensuse occur . so i tried every driver after the 180.22 , EVERY of them up to the latest beta 185 . ALL of them result the same thing , (expect 185 which there the GPU wont produce red singals).
    for the record : my opensuse was x86_64 , my ubuntu was x86 , and with arch i used x86_64 first and now im using x86. same problem occur in both x86 and x86_64
    i wrote all this to give you a better idea of my problem so maybe anyone will have a soulation. and maybe someone else will find it usefull will help anyone in the future.
    all i want to do is to downgrage back to 173 drivers where i know its worked with ubuntu without any problems at all but i cant theres the actual problem :
    when trying to install from the package itsself (sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg0.run ) i get this :
    ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
    you either have configured kernel sources matching your

    after a little search on google i understood that my kernel sources are missing (using the -e (expert) on nvidia installer let you set location but its no success on normal /lib/modules/2.6.28-ARCH/build)
    so how can i solve this and compile & install the 173 drivers on my i686 , arch , 2.6.28 ?
    thanks in advance for reading.

    After posting this message to the IRC channel , i was told that i can install the nvidia-173xx drivers , its seems to work but i can assure the problem would not occur again so ill just have to watch out, if you have any other fix for this please post.

  • Ipod Touch and Windows 7 sync/visibility issues Issues

    Hi All
    Just wondering if anyone knows when Apple intend to fix the ongoing problem with Ipod touch and windows 7 sync problems.
    I have just got windows 7 64 bit from Vista 64 Bit. I had no problems before the clean install.
    Now I have to close my pc down before I attach my pod for sync, when it shows up on itunes it only syncs twenty or so tracks before it "times out" the pc freezes untill i cancel the sync on the ipod and disconnect it.
    I have tried like many other people to re-install itunes the latest version 9.02 (i think). I have also ran the diagnsotic check from itunes and that just shows that no Ipod is connected. Itunes itself runs and downloads ok.
    This is my latest diagnostic chec

  • Video issues in mac os 10.6.4 and windows 7 64x

    To start with, my computer is the late 2008 model Imac, has 3g of memory, and wasn't experiencing any video problems until earlier this month. I've already had it serviced, and was told that the issue was resolved, and was unrelated to hardware. Fifteen minutes after repair and setup, the exact same symptoms occur.
    I'm thinking, Ok, perhaps this is a bad install of windows, since it happened in a windows program (everquest 2, an online game), and rebooted into Mac. Almost immediately, I saw video problems (snow, pixels, lines, distortion)on the mac side, which had occurred with the windows side.
    My husband is angry, I'm angry, so I decide that I'm going to trash everything and start off completely fresh. I intended to reinstall mac 10.6.4 after erasing everything, so I removed the windows partition, and attempted to reinstall snow leapard, without using the original leapard disc that came with the system. I didn't realize until too late that I had forgotten to erase the original os, but I figured I'd see if there were any problems and go from there. I had no initial problems with the install of either os (mac or windows), except to note that I couldn't install the apple software updates on the windows side. I was able to fully update the mac side before attempting any installation of the windows os.
    I started having video problems really quickly in the windows side after the full installation and update, but the system disabled the initial nvidia drivers and went to plug and play drivers. The only thing that displayed any further problems was the ISight camera, but that was to be expected without the apple updates.
    I did read the bootcamp manual afterwards, and saw that my IMac, being an earlier version, might not properly install bootcamp drivers for windows 7 64x, although we had successfully located and manually installed the drivers earlier when first installing windows 7 64x. Keep in mind, I'd had the os installed for several months without any video problems, and in fact, it worked like a dream in both os after the computer had a previous repair of the hard drive, sound card, and logic board.
    Anyway, to continue, after the video symptoms occurred on windows, I switched back over to mac to look for and install a video firmware download that I had located through these same forums. I had to change os because it was a dmg, so I did so. Now, I still had the snow leapard install disc in the computer, so that's the first thing I saw on the screen when booting into mac. I immediately started also seeing the pixels and some distortion, but it stopped briefly. I tried bringing up Firefox to get to the download, but the computer froze (showed the little round ball)and wouldn't respond further. I tried several reboots, and could usually at least get into snow leapard, but the computer froze each time.
    Finally, after several attempts, the computer won't boot into either os, and won't go into the install disc either. I'm completely at a loss, because I'm told this IS NOT a hardware issue, and the problem was resolved with simply resetting everything. The problem was NOT resolved with that reset, because I'm able to reproduce this issue consistently with multiple reboots, and have even recorded it with a camera I have. I'm at my wit's end, because I'm on a fixed income, and this costs me time and money I just don't have. It's caused me to get behind on one of my bills, because I have to have a computer, and further repairs, while covered under warranty, are going to cost me further money to get to and from the service center. Not to mention the fact that it's going to take another month for me to wait for my money to become available so that I can pay for the ride back and forth for the repair.
    Anyone, anyone at all, have any suggestions that may help? I have access to another computer, and can try using that computer to help me boot the other computer up, if I know how. Please, this is so frustrating to me, so I'm hoping someone can suggest something that may help.
    I know I mentioned in the post what type of video issues I'm experiencing, but I figured I'd reiterate to make it easy. The computer will display a distorted image on bootup, like a pixelated off-center image. You know, kinda like 2 punch cards held up to each other, with the same holes, but off center. You also get snow, when able to boot up, with the screen sometimes showing half the screen, flickering. Like the screen is broken, but it's not even scratched. And it's not all the time either, if it was, I would think maybe an internal screen was broken or cracked (I've worked tech support for devices with internal screens, so I understand you can have a perfectly good outer screen, but a cracked inner screen). Right now, on bootup, I get that punch card effect, then the screen goes blank. I should mention that sometimes the system will show that, but then boot into windows with no immediate distortion, but will show distortion in the mac side if I'm able to boot into snow leapard. Hope this information helps someone give me an answer that helps.

    To start with, my computer is the late 2008 model Imac, has 3g of memory …
    I'm assuming you mean the Early 2008 iMac since there is no "late 2008" one. AFAIK, it came with 2 GB of RAM standard & the common BTO option would have been 4 GB, so can we assume that you have installed an aftermarket memory module to get to 3 GB?
    I've already had it serviced, and was told that the issue was resolved, and was unrelated to hardware. Fifteen minutes after repair and setup, the exact same symptoms occur.
    What repair and setup? Is this something you did after getting the iMac back from service? If so, what exactly did you do?
    I had no initial problems with the install of either os (mac or windows), except to note that I couldn't install the apple software updates on the windows side.
    Do you mean the Windows drivers or something else? Did you follow the Bootcamp install procedure exactly when reinstalling Windows or not?
    I switched back over to mac to look for and install a video firmware download that I had located through these same forums.
    What video firmware download do you mean? AKAIK, there are none for early 2008 iMacs.
    No offense intended, but it is hard to understand exactly what you have done because while you mention much, you don't say a lot about the specifics for a lot of that. In general, it is best to concentrate on those things & keep the commentary to a minimum.

  • Boot camp and Windowa 7 (64 bit)

    Happy New Year to every one!
    My mac is a 2.66 GHz Quad-Core with 8 GB RAM, a nvidia GeForce GT 120 video card and 3 1 GB super ata HDs.
    Traditionally, one of the hard disks is dedicated to windows os and its applications. Since I got this mac I installed Vista (ultimate) to the boot camp hard disk. So far Vista worked fine, well, as fine as windows os works.
    After all, I make use of vista just for two programmes, that is not possible to find in mac os: Final Draft 8.0 which can be worked in my language (greek) only in pc environment (!!) and microsoft flight simulator X!
    Last week I upgraded vista to windows 7 (ultimate again-64 bit). Since I had too many files installed to vista so as to let them get lost I prefered to upgrade from vista to 7, and not to erase the whole boot camp hard disk, by choosing the according facility to windows 7 installation disk.
    But first I tried to install Apple Win7 Upgrade Utility, which, by my mistake, I thought it would help. Off curse It didn’ t, giving me always the message that could not be opened.
    At my third efford vista was upgraded to windows 7 straight forward. By great surprise everything was saved at its placed. Since then windows 7 os and all windows s/w seem to work properly. Additionally, every time I restarted my mac, when I push the «alt» key to my keyboard mac os provides me the opportunity to choose between mac and windows os disks.
    But then I understood that things didn’ t go so fluently, as I initially thought. When I opened system preferences/startup disk I realised that the windows HD icon has disappeared. What does it means? What went wrong? Why I still can see windows and macintosh hard disks when I push the «alt» key, but I cannot choose it in the startup disk utility?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Actually you don't need an EFI64 ROM to support 8 GBs of RAM. That is determined by the bus size and the memory controller. The ROM only determines the maximum amount of RAM that the OS can address. None of the Macs currently in production can support even the maximum supported by the 32-bit kernel. None have a wide enough memory bus. Of course newer models may support larger amounts of RAM when they are released, but for now there's not much need for using the 64-bit kernel except if you are developing 64-bit software and need to test its compatibility with the 64-bit ROM.

  • My Mac Pro and Windows, a view from a Windows noob

    I have been using Macs for years. Yes I switched back in the XP days, but it has been so long....I forgot, infact I made my mother switch so I could offer her better tech support. Now she does not need tech support.
    Anyway, the point.
    I have a 2008 Octo 2.8 MP with a current ATI 256mb video, 4GB memory, and a bunch of drives in the machine. My wife bought me Flight Simulator X as I was talking about it, and I decided to load it on my Pro.
    I used Boot Camp to partition a drive that was 32 GB (thats all I needed) and took a chance at using XP again.
    Everything went fine until I got to the partition screen on XP, I choose the partition Bootcamp made, and Windows came back with a goofy message about how I needed to do something to the partition, hit enter and do so...ok I did.
    Nothing, same partition layout.
    So I made note of partition sizes, deleted mine, and tried to create a new partition out of the blank space, same message. After trying several times, I decided to try it with Vista Home Premium.
    Same crap, told me how it would not work, etc etc.
    So i decided to use an entire drive, backed it up, ran bootcamp, did the installer, and decided to try Vista. The install went fine.
    My Retaill copy of Leopard did not want to load the drivers I needed, So I used my wifes iMac disc to install drivers for all things Apple on Vista. Fine, but why did it take me 3 hours to get my Bluettoth Mighty Mouse to work, and I still cant get the BT keyboard to work?
    Why does Windows only see 2 of the 4 gb of memory I have?
    Why does Vista seem slow? (even though it boots fast?. I mean it almost seems to ...well lag, seems like alot of OSX, and Linux with Beryl ripping off that does not really seem to work very well with Vista.
    The drivers for this spankly fresh new ATI card had to be downloaded by Vista in order to even see the card, why is this stuff not on Leopard (Apple did not give me the restore discs for the Pro when they exchanged the machine for my faulty Pro)
    Most importantly, why would XP argue with a partition Bootcamp made? Worked fine with my Mothers imac, she reported no issues, why am I the one to get them, how can I make a simple 32gb partition via bootcamp work with XP?

    Lot of questions in there, almost need a list.
    I never use BootCamp, just Disk Utility. Assistant is meant for single drive setup (iMac, MacBook) more than multi-drive system as this. And totally unnecessary or helpful with Vista.
    Vista 32-bit only sees 1.9GB but SP1 or x64 will see more.
    XP CD doesn't know or understand GUID and EFI partition tables.
    Some Leopard DVDs (mostly upgrade based on BootCamp forum) didn't have the /BOOTCAMP directory on them.
    The new Mac Pro is UEFI 2.1 firmware and has 64-bit drivers.
    And always need to get the latest stand-alone drivers from ATI and Nvidia for Windows on Mac Pro.

  • Photoshop CS5 and Windows 7 Home Premium?

    Functioning new PC/Windows 7 software in question:
    HP Pavillion Elite HPE-171f Desktop Intel Core i7-860 Processor
    6GB DDR3 Memory - 1TB Hard Drive
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 with 1.8GB Dedicated Graphic Memory
    Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Question - for recent CS5 users/experts using similar hardware/software listed above:
    Soon to purchase Photoshop CS5 full package (discs).  Will it install and run well on Windows 7 Home Premium and an i7-860 processor?
    I am reading far too many negative comments regarding Photoshop CS5 installation but it seems that they are mainly due to type of system and Windows version etc.  Is the above system and Windows 7 Home Premium compatible enough for this software?
    Hoping to hear from experts or those who have a similar system as above.
    Thank you.  Much appreciated.

  • CS3 dds drivers and Windows 7 64bit issue

    I have photoshop CS3 working however I can't load the dds drivers. I've tried everything see below. Anyone been able to load the Nvidia dds drivers?
    What is the proper proceedure to effectively install the DDS files in CS3 in a windows 7 64 bit environment?
    I tried the 32 bit and 64 bit files and when I use the 32 bit file i get an error opening up photoshop that says missing D3x9_43.dll, and I don't have the option to save in a .dds format. If I uninstall the dds 32 bit program the missing D3x9_43.dll error goes away.
    When I load 64 bit version no errors but I still don't have the option to save in .dds format. Kind of frustrating..................
    I've just uninstalled and cleaned CS3. I've done a new fresh load of CS3. What are the correct steps from here?
    Which file should I download? etc.
    Thank you in advance.
    Ok, I've tried everything I can find.
    I let the 32 bit dds program load to a seperate folder and manually transfered the files to the proper folders in Photoshop and still get the same results as above. I tried renaming them and removing the 32 extensions and still no go. I did the same thing with the 64 bit program and still no go.
    The 32 bit program said it was still looking for the D3X9_43.dll file for some reason. I haven't tried downloading that file since I don't know where to put it.
    Can someone please help me. Has anyone got the DDS files to work with CS3 and Windows 7?
    Thank you
    Bill

    Got it fixed. I loaded the drivers from my old XP machine. drivers are from 2007. Don't remember where I got them from but they worked.  I can save dds files again.
    Thank you for the reply.

  • Do I have to uninstall the CS4 software before updating the NVIDIA driver and reinstall CS4 after?

    I have just installed CS4 on Windows 7 and I get the message that I need to update NVIDIA driver.
    Is it really neccassary to update driver even if I have no problems using Photoshop?
    Do I have to uninstall the CS4 software before updating the NVIDIA  driver and reinstall CS4 afterwards or is there a way around it?
    Here are the technical details:

    I have never had to reinstall any program for a video driver.
    Now, check out the instructions for your particular nVidia driver, and the exact steps can differ. Just did my Quadro FX-4500 and it was just an install over the older driver. However, looking at another nVidia card's driver, and there were 3-4 settings in the nVidia console, that had to be reset BEFORE installing that driver. Did not affect me, but would have been a different operation for the next guy, with a different nVidia card. nVidia makes it easy with the necessary instructions - follow those to the letter, or issues can arise and the entire driver can get hosed. Things could be a simple as download, and execute, to having to do several things before you execute.
    Good luck,
