Power Manager 4.42 Not Working T61p Vista 64-bit

ThinkVantage Power Manager is not working on my machine.  I first noticed this after System Update added several new ThinkVantage programs, including PM version 4.41a several weeks ago, but I can't point with any certainty a specific cause or beginning to the problem. 
PM now stops working every time during initial (power-on) machine boot-up showing message: "Power Manager Stopped Working".  This seems to happen whenver it is installed by system update.  When I have tried installing PM manually, it simply refuses to install, giving a short message saying it cannot run on my system.  Earlier versions ran OK before.  Microsoft Problem Reports and Solutions is of course clueless about this (and most other crashes).
I have tried uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling both PM and the latest PM driver in several different sequences, but nothing seems to work.  I was hopeful that a recent upgrade to PM version 4.42 (via System Update) might solve the problem, but same thing happens and manually installation still doesn't work.  I also uninstalling Access Connections (which has given me other problems), rebooted, and tried loading both PM and PM Driver, but with the same results.  Something funny going on...
I have ThinkPad 61p (6459-CTO) with 4GB RAM, running Vista Ultimate 64-bit with NIS 2009.  I have installed the most recent BIOS and have other up-to-date Lenovo software via System Update. 
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I have tried several more things, including upgrading to Visual C++ 2008 in an attempt to get my system to install TV Power Manager 4.42 (or earlier versions).  I still get the same message when I attempt to install manually: "cannot run on this system". Same thing happens when trying to load an older version 4.20a that I found through the forum.
I have been successful in loading the version that came pre-installed on my computer (found in SWTools folder), and that seems to work, though with very basic functionality.  It appears to be Version 2.11.
I would really like to find a way to install a newer version (preferably 4.42), as it seems this is needed to run later versions of other TV software.  I have T61p (6459-CTO) running Vista Ultimate 64-bit, and the BIOS and drivers are all up to date, as per Lenovo site.
Thanks for any advice.

  • X-Fi Audio - Subwoofer NOT working in Vista 32-bit Ultimate!

    <X-Fi Audio - Subwoofer NOT working in Vista 32-bit Ultimate!I I have WIndows Vista 32-bit Ultimate and Sound Blaster X-Fi Audio installed and with the factory drivers (I tried another set earlier and they did not work, so I reinstalled the original drivers which worked, at least partially). Until now I only listened to music using my headphones, but I tried today to plug-in my 5. Genius system (50W RMS) and everything works fine EXCEPT the subwoofer does not produce any sound at all!! The ONLY way to make it work is go to Control Panel -> Sound -> Speakers -> press Configure and then click the Test button in the dialog that appears (or click the subwoofer icon to make it produce a very nice bass sound - which I absolutely love, but it's the only way to make my subwoofer work!!!). Please guys, help me find out what the problem is. All help is much appreciated. Thank you!

    Thank you my friend,I have done as you have mentioned (made sure the DLL did not stay there when I rebooted before I installed your version), and now I have the version which you have built. However, I am still unable to hear the subwoofer I am so sad... even my default on-board card supports the 5. just great, and I love the sound of that, but I was hoping for something better from Creative - instead, all I got was a soundcard I can only use with my headphones at the moment because of a faulty driver...
    Did you enable Bass Redirection?
    Run Console Launcher, click on Speakers and Headphone -> choose 5. Speakers.
    Then click on Bass (Bass Management) and enable Bass Redirection.

  • Internet Security Suite does not work with Vista 64 bit

    After attempting to use the Chat Help, twice, and spending hours in queue before getting kicked off, I finally called Support to find out why my new Vista computer was not running the Internet Security Suite that I downloaded.  Yes, I found the link to "download to a second computer" and went thru all the steps.  Got lots of positive feedback: little bars were filling in letting me know I was 40%, 72%, 100% done, etc..  Was given a window allowing me to Run or Don't Run the software.  It all seemed to go very well.  However, when the "download and installation" was complete, there was no new software running anywhere on my computer.  Couldn't find it in the Control Panel, the Start menu, or the system tray.  Called Support and spent at least 30 minutes on the phone with a "technician" (and I use that term VERY loosely) who had to have major assistance from a co-worker before he could even start screen-sharing with me and, during the course of our time together, made the following brilliant remarks:
    Upon seeing my desktop wallpaper (which is a lovely photo of some cliffs and a lake - and it came with Vista), he wanted to know what the picture was.  Not where it was taken, but just what it was.  His exact comment was "Does your screen always look like that?".  I had to dig deeper to determine if he was asking about a particular icon or some other computer related concern that he saw (he was "technical support", after all), but he was just asking about the stupid photo.
    He couldn't find the Control Panel in the Start Menu until after trying several times, and then he couldn't navigate to the Programs area very well (I had to give verbal hints as to where it was), and his brilliant comment then was "I really need to go to my mom's house and get on her new laptop and try out Vista."  Can you believe that Verizon has technical support folks who have never used Vista?  It's not like Vista just came on the market yesterday!!
    So, when he finally decided that he was not going to be able to help me, he didn't offer me any other recourse.  He just stated over and over that he was not sure how to solve this issue.  Oh, and this was after I re-downloaded ISS (again, "successfully").  I had to ask if there was someone else there who could possibly help me.  He offered to put me on hold (for the 2nd or 3rd time at this point) to check around.  When he returned to the phone, it was obvious that someone else was operating the mouse in the screen sharing mode because the operator moved confidentially around the screen and went immediately to system properties and saw that I am running Windows 64 bit.  The other operator then told my guy to tell me that ISS only works with Windows 32 bit.  Their final resolution was that I should call billing on Monday and end my subscription.  I think that may be the only good advice I was given that day.
    So, am probably going to renew my trial version of Norton on this new computer and remove ISS from the laptop and put Norton on there as well.  Apparently, they are up to date with this fancy new technology.  At least they probably know about sophisticated and highly technical stuff like desktop wallpaper.

    I have been trying to get somewhere with this Internet Security Suite...and now have come to the conclusion this is not going to work.  Now running Vista 64 bit, and have gotten nothing but the run around to try to complete the downloading of the program.  I've contacted Verizon Tech Support...then tell me that this works with the 64 bit but I need to contact Windows as there is a glitch and they give you the steps to get thru it.  Windows advises me to contact Verizon again as there are no problems with the OS.  Also have contacted Radialpoint and once again nothing...Obviously the Secuirty is not compatible with Vista 64 bit yet, which I just can't believe like you said...it's not like it was just yesterday this OS came out.  My frusteration comes from nobody steps up to take any responsibility as to what the problem is.  If it is not compatible yet then say so and not waste my whole weekend trying to get a straight answer.  I have other computers that I am currently using the service on and do like the program, but as for my Vista 64 bit looks like I may go to Macafee for protection.  It just amazes me as big as Verizon is and as popular this Vista has become they are not on the ball in keeping up with technology.

  • Power Manager 2.41a not working

    Hi,
    Can anyone reproduce or solve this problem:
    After Install of the Power Manager 2.41a on VistaX64 the power manager doesn't start anymore. More precisely it doesn't start after i removed the battery and plugged display in the taskbar. When I try to start it from the productivity center or from the programs folder it just displays the title window and then disappears.
    After completely reinstalling the Manager the same happened.
    Any Ideas how I can get it to work are welcome...
    Daniel
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    x61s
    i had the same exact problem has your with the power manager 2.41a, it would show the title but does not load all the way it would just disappear, so i downloaded the power manager 2.42 from lenovo site, installed the driver, and it would still do the same thing but title does not say it is 2.42 it say 2.41a, does not load.  So this is what i did to make it work:
    1. uninstall power manager 2.41a and power manager driver managment from control panel.
     2. install power manager 2.42 driver from lenovo site, if they ask if overwrite say yes to all.
    3. now go in the c: drive and under utilites search for power manager and reinstall it. restart comp. and it should load find now, but some time power manager is slow to load but it will load.
    hope this help.

  • ITunes v7.6 still NOT working w/Vista 64-bit

    I believe it's not working because AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi WON'T install.
    It gives me a "The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured." error.
    Is there ANY WAY around this at all?
    Also I've installed & uninstalled iTunes v7.6 multiple times now, rebooting between installs also but still no luck.
    I've also extracted the 6 installation files out of iTunesSetup.exe and I'm trying to get AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi to install, but it just won't install.
    When I start the iTunesSetup.exe package and finish installation, iTunes Setup Assistant also gives me a warning that says "iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs, you need to reinstall iTunes."
    And under Event Viewer I see this "Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Apple Mobile Device Support. Product Version: 1.1.3.26. Product Language: 1033. Installation success or error status: 1603."
    Help please! I would really like for iTunes to work with my iPhone!

    Well at least up and til today, there never was a solution to activate or even synch Vista 64 bit OS, iTunes, and the iPhone - for anyone, anywhere - period. Not unless you used some VMware solution (which I've heard mixed results on).
    This new version of iTunes (7.6) did today for the first time, correct the ability to burn CDs from my collection of music in iTunes. Before this version it wasn't possible.
    My Mobile Device Support program did update and install correctly today along with the other apps that got updated. So now I wonder if it is truly possible to activate and synch with an iPhone?!? Anyone try this yet?
    Cyanide regarding your install, I had to go through something similar back in one of the earliest versions designed for Vista 64bit OS. The trick is not only uninstalling, but removing all references in the registries, left over file folders, etc. after uninstall. Then begin a clean install.
    BUT, it's entirely possible that the iPhone still is still not capable of syncing with Vista 64 bit.
    If you think you've had this ability before, than I'm 99.9% sure you only have Vista 32 bit OS.

  • Air apps not working on Vista 64 bit since 1.5

    The Adobe Air 1.5 update went fine on my Vista 64 bit system,
    both apps (Thwirl and Spaz) worked fine. Then both apps released an
    update and they crash when attempting to update. Download manually
    the .air file and it can't find the software to open the file and
    will not install. Uninstall Air, reinstall Air. Go to Adobe's Air
    site and try to install any Air app, not a single one will install.
    Air shows up in Add/Remove Programs but now I cannot use a single
    Air application. Have installed (as administrator) and unstalled
    Air a few times, same result. The result I get when I try to
    install something from the Adobe site:
    "Something went wrong trying to install this application.
    Please install the latest version of Adobe Air"

    Unfortunately I can only generate a log for the Air install
    itself. Once Air 1.5 is installed and I try to install any Air
    Application, it fails immediately with the error message in my
    initial post. I created the .airappinstall.log following the
    procedures in kb403123 and echo was on when I went to the Thwirl
    site and clicked "Install Thwirl" and the error message comes up
    instantly and no data is added to .airappinstall.log. And when I
    download the .air file manually Windows cannot find Air at all to
    associate with the .air file. Here is the text from the fresh Air
    install I performed right before trying to install Thwirl (taken
    from the .airinstall.log file):

  • Firefox 15.0.1 not working on Vista 32-bit nor Windows XP after update. Server Not Found error.

    I recently updated to Firefox 15.0.1 on 2 separate PCs. One PC is Windows Vista 32-bit with Comodo Internet Security. Other PC is Windows XP with Avast. Previous version of Firefox was operating fine on both before update. I have exhausted all suggestions from this site to get the new update to work but it does not.
    On Vista PC, Chrome and IceDragon also have the same server error but IE works. And I've followed all the suggestions to allow access. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. Changed to no proxy. Tried the network.dns... changes and nothing.
    Has Microsoft banned every other browser from operating with their systems via a recent update? I'm wondering if this is not the case since everything was fine prior to this.
    I also have a Mac that uses Firefox 15.0.1 just fine since the update so this is exclusively a PC issue.
    Windows Firewall and Defender are deactivated. Thanks for any insight you can share.

    Does deactivating Comodo Internet Security or the other security software help anything? It might be that your security software is blocking Firefox from accessing the internet.

  • Boot Camp Wifi Not Working; Windows Vista 32 Bit

    Hey, alright, I got this huge problem. I installed Windows Vista 32-Bit edition on Boot Camp 2.0. I installed the drivers on my Leopard CD. For some reason I can connect to the net on the Leopard side (which I am using right now) and I just can't get a connection on the Windows side. So remember I did install the drivers on the Leopard disc. Also, when I go to device support on Vista, the drivers have yellow triangles beside them. I tried to hook the ethernet cable up and it still won't have an internet connection. I do have the Macbook Pro Aluminum model (newest one) so can someone please help me and tell me what I am doing wrong? Maybe you can tell me a driver I can download to get this working? Thanks!

    Boot Camp will not support Vista on newer iMacs, you will need to upgrade to Windows 7. Also as an FYI there is a Boot Camp forum, you can locate it by clicking Apple Support Communities and then in the search field type Boot Camp.
    Best of luck,
    Roger

  • Safari 5.1 not working on Vista 64 bit?

    I recently downloaded safari 5.1 onto my windows vista 64 bit pc (never had safari before at all on this pc) and when I start it, all I get is a blank page. I tried typing in websites, still a blank page.
    I have no idea what to do, any help?

    I'm curious, are you also having trouble connecting to the iTumes store with iTunes 10.5?  I'm having the same Safari problem and also can't connect to the store.  Tons of people are having the store connection problem, but I haven't seen any others mention the connection issue wth Safari as well.
    As for me, I've tried everything on these forums so far and haven't found a good solution.

  • Flash Player not working on Vista 64 Bit

    I too am having extreme difficulty w/ installing the new flash player.  At first I didn't know I had too.  Two days ago I was watching a show on YouTube, and last night it said I needed to install the latest version.
    Windows Vista Home Edition 64 Bit
    Preferred browser Mozilla Foxfire / secondary browser Internet Explorer
    I did all the uninstalls and removed files from the download directory.
    I followed all instructions making sure I chose the appropriate download version for 64 bit.
    Below is what I chose:
    Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.94 (16.9 MB)
    Your system: Windows 64-bit , English, Firefox
    Do you have a different operating system or browser?
    I downloaded, saved and ran it.  Made sure all Firefox windows were closed including weather network.  Then it stated 'installation complete'.
    I went to YouTube and then it said I had to install the Flash Player.  I did this too.  Still, nothing worked.  I am somehow being forced to upgrade a perfectly good computer?
    I hope this can be resolved.  I read through everyones comments, tried them all and still nothing.

    Surprise to me!!! It worked!!!
    I decided to try for the 87th time and it finally worked.  What I did was (incase someone else wants to try this) well, it worked for me ... thought I did this before ...
    Uninstalled all flash players
    Deleted all flash players from download directory
    Deleted deleted items from garbage bin (you never know)
    Re-started the PC
    Went to YouTube and it prompted me to install a Flash Player - did this and guess what ... it worked!  Only 5 hours in ...
    Now, if I can just figure out how to properly use my new sewing machine hem foot and try to finish measuring (after 8 times) the duvet I am sewing then I will be well on my way!
    They say it comes in three's.  Had mine.  Done !
    Good luck everyone!

    The following information would be useful:
    - A direct link to the video / videos where you encountered the crash
    - Your Operating System and Version
    - Your Browser and Version
    - The Version of Flash Player (right-click on Flash content, look in the context menu)
    Do you see the crash in only your preferred browser, or all browsers.  (The Flash Player for Firefox/Safari/Opera, Chrome and Internet Explorer are all significantly different.  Isolating it to one or more browsers is useful in understanding the root cause.)
    Have you tried the video troubleshooting guide?  If so, please detail the steps you took and the results you saw.  This is extremely useful in isolating a root-cause.
    Video playback issues
    If you're encountering the crash in Firefox, a direct link to the crash report would be extremely useful:
    In the address bar, type about:crashes
    You'll see a list of links with random letters and numbers
    Click the first link.  It will take you to a crash report page.  Hit back, and the link will change to start with bp- and a new set of letters and numbers.

  • Itunes not working with Vista Home Premium 32-bit

    Itumes 10.6.3 version will not work with Vista Home Premium. I have a 32-bit operating system. I'm not sure what to do next. It appears in trying to update it deleted the old itumes, as I can't find a copy of it when I search the computer.

    Then I installed Quicktime on its own - still get the same error 'Quicktime has stopped working;
    Okay. That will be the source of the iTunes problem. (Without a properly working QuickTime, iTunes won't work correctly.)
    Checking on things that can cause QuickTime launch errors now.
    Have you at any stage installed any Codec Packs, any copies of the programs QT Alternative, QT Lite or Storm Codec, or any media converter programs that can convert files into QuickTime readable formats?
    (I'm checking on these things because depending on the versions of the programs/codec-packs, these can install earlier versions of QuickTime componentry on a PC, which can interfere with the running of a higher version of QuickTime.)

    I purchased Photoshop CS5 for my windows vista operating system. I purchased a canon 7 D some yrs ago no problem. I purchased canon 7D mk 11 in December 2014. The supplied software will not work with vista. Photoshop CS5 will not accept canon7D mk11. Can someone please tell me how i process canon 7D mk11 photos ?????. (is it possible to bypass camera raw and open the photo straight into CS5 without using camera raw first. if so how do i do that. if not how do i process pictures).
    Thank you.
    Brian in the UK.

    Photoshop by itself cannot process raw image data. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in was developed. You could try the DNG converter and convert your images to the DNG format and then the Camera Raw that you have would be able to open them. I can't recommend Lightroom because you are using Vista, and Lightroom 5 cannot be used with that operating system. It may be time for you to get a new computer and upgrade your software.
