Power Manager 7.40 - installed, working fine, lost it after format

So I don't really know how, I'm guessing it was installed either by an older Settings Dependency package or something, but I had Power Manager version 7.40 installed on my X220 with Windows 8 Pro.
It worked pretty much perfectly, no crashes etc.
I decided to make a fresh install of Windows 8 so that I can try 8.1.
Sadly it appears Power Manager cannot be officially installed on Windows 8.
The last version for Windows 7 is 6.5. I'm wondering - is there somewhere where we can download version 7.4 which I know for a fact worked fine with Windows 8?

Power Manager is not supported on Windows 8.
The 7.xx version thing is a side-effect of the following:
- forcing Power Manager 6.xx to install on Win8 by using "compatibility mode"
- upgrading your Win7 system with Power Manager, to Win8
... and then installing the Lenovo Settings Dependency Package.
The Lenovo Settings Dependency Package updates binaries that are also used by Power Manager, this is where the 7.xx thing comes from. There really isn't any Power Manager 7.xx
I do not recommend using Power Manager on Windows 8, it is not supported and has never been tested on Win8. Besdies this many users report problems from forcing Power Manager to install on Win8.

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from

After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Hi,
My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC that's missing the photos.
When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos. That option is ghosted. I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0. Any ideas on how I can fix this? All help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Kevinmvb,

Lost Beats Audio Control Panel, Windows Experience Index and HP Power Manager on fresh install...

HP Pavilion m6-1035dx, product B5S06UA#ABA
Please help! I installed a 240gb SanDisk Extreme SSD and a fresh install of Win 7 home premium 64-bit OEM. I did not reinstall the factory OS and all that goes along with it. I have managed to reinstall all drivers (it seems) but am having the following problems: 1) I have installed IDT HD Audio Driver sp56953 but it does not provide the Beats Audio control panel, any idea how to get it? 2) The Windows Experience Index will not provide a performance evaluation, something in the system is providing it with an error message when it attempts to rate the system and it stops. 3) I have installed HP Power Manager sp57398 and can bring up the control panel but the changes I indicate will not stay applied, when I bring up Power Manager again it show that no selections are made. I knew this fresh install was going to provide headaches, please help if you can. Thanks.

I suspect this may all be related to a common cause.
When updating the windows experience index, what is the error message you receive?
Has the video card driver been installed? It is necessary for the windows experience index to complete.
Also, ensure the HP Software Framework is installed. It is under the Software Solutions category.
You did a clean install of Windows 7. Has all the software and drivers for Windows 7 from HP been installed? Here is a link should you need it.

Shockwave and Flash Player installed works fine but it says damaged in the dependency tab.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. When I go to
downloaded programs in windows where your active x programs are.
The icons on the leftt of shockwave player are white. I right click
on the shockwave player and click on properties and in the
dependency tab has nothing in the file name. Over to the right size
bites says damaged. On the download programs itself where the
shockwave player is the status says installed and the bite size
says 4 KB it did not it did not say damage only in the dependency
tab. My shockwave programs and games work fine. On the dependency
it has this message,This page lists the 1 file (s) amd 0 java
packages upon which shockwave active x controls depends on. I tried
uninstalling and reinstalling about 5 times and the samething came
up. If it has to run on the main package java the samething is
there too. There too it is installed and the bites are okay the
only place it says damage is in the dependency tab. I unstalled
that and reinstalled it the same number of times and the samething
appeared. Flash player the same way. How do I fix this problem? In
dowloaded programs I also have another shockwave active x control
with the same version and 2 java of the same version. Also after I
uninstall shockwave player I go to manage add ons and delete the
one that is still there and in the downloaded programs it has
unknown with a bunch of letters. There is no way to delete that
when you right click it you only see properties.

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.

Thininstaller - Power Manager fails to install on T410 - Windows 7 32bit

I have a TVSU Repository set up and it has been working great for us. I sometimes have to run the thininstaller command again after a machine images if the machine did a silent install of a BIOS upgrade the first time so other updates can't continue. That is OK for now.
My biggest concern is that thininstaller isn't installing the Power Manager in Windows 7 for our T410 laptops. The following line is in the thininstaller log file:
Info 2010-07-07 , 07:35:32
at Tvt.FileDownloader.IndexRepositoryDownloader.Download(FileToDownloadBean bean)
Message: the File to download is completed: \\server\d$\packages\drivers\lenovo\81u411ww\81u411ww_2_.xml
However - it never actually gets installed. If I manually do an update:
thininstaller /repository \\server\repository
It scans through but says no products were found for my system. That isn't right though, the Power Manager (81u411ww.exe) is available and applicable in the repository.
I've delete this package from the repository and re-downloaded it and still the same issue. This seems to be isolated to T410's (2518-F3U) units.
Any idea why thininstaller isn't installing Power Manager? I have full log files I can provide but I didn't want to spam this post. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
-Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, in case anyone else runs into this issue - I am getting around the issue by simply deleting the depencies on the package. Now ThinInstaller is detecting it correctly on my machines. I am not exactly sure what version of Power Manager introduced this issue but simply removing the dependencies works for us.

Power Management Driver wont install in Windows 7

Hi All, I've been trying to get my blue Fn keys to work on my recently purchased SL500. Volume and screen brightness keys work (but no on-screen display), however Fn+F3 & F5 do nothing, as does the blue ThinkVantage button. Installed drivers via System Update, however every time I get the message "Package did not install - ThinkPad Power Management Driver for SL Series". Power Manager is installed and running but the driver is not listed under Program & Features. I'm guessing the lack of this driver is the problem. Anyone else seen this or have a fix ? Thanks.

Please visit: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds014985 but don't download the most current version (3.89.0100) at the top. If you look at the readme, you'll see that the SL500 is not included in the supported systems list.
Instead, scroll downwards to the version table and have a look at the readme for v3.88.0000. You'll see your machine in the supported list, so you could give that one a try, if you want.
Regards.

C# SCOM SDK agent install works fine from debug mode but disconnects when built from installer

My team is writing a C# application that installs SCOM agents on the fly. I used the code in :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh329037.aspx
as a template. Which works fine and will consistently install agents when I run it in debug from Visual Studio. But when I build an installer (using InstallShield), calls to:
"AgentTaskResult results = adminServer.InstallAgents(agents, configuration);"
always result in a Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.ServerDisconnectedException. The agent install even shows up in pending management on the SCOM server (but this sits in pending management forever and is never processed). Calling managementGroup.Reconnect();
and retrying the agent install still results in a ServerDisconnectedException. The application has no problem doing other things with the managementGroup object (from debug or running from an installer). It can create MonitorConfigurationOverrides and
gets events out of an outbound connector. So it seems like the disconnect problem is localized just to agent install requests.
I looked in the Windows Event Log and found an OpsMgr SDK Service Error:
An exception was thrown while processing InstallAgents for session ID uuid:71d39b19-f9a7-4d4a-82ee-5043480af635;id=41.

Windows Power Management settings don't work with ITunes

Purchased a refurbished Dell Optiplex system a few weeks ago with a 3.2 Ghz Pentium processor, 1 gigabyte of RAM, and 160 GB of hard drive - so a nice, new, fast system running Windows XP.
I set my Power Management settings to go to screen saver after 20 minutes, and power down after 45 minutes. It worked just fine for a month, and the day I downloaded Itunes onto this computer, those settings do not work.
I have reset them.
I have changed them (to as little as one minute).
I have changed them back to the original settings.
I have rebooted my computer.
I have run 2 different spyware programs (Spybot and Adaware) as well as run an anti-virus scan (TrendMicro Housecall).
Nothing has changed, and my only conclusion is that Itunes is somehow interfering with the power settings for my computer and monitor. This is rather frustrating, as I'd like my computer to shut off on its own if someone walks away (I can't trust my kids to log off on their own).
Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Hi, I just bought my iPhone a couple of days ago and am having the same problems.
I have a Macbook at home, but need to be able to sync with my work computer for contacts and calendar. At work I'm running on Windows XP Pro SP 2 and MS Outlook 2003 SP 3. I've made sure to update all MS software. I'm running on iPhone 1.1.3 and iTunes 7.6.
My contacts sync fine, but, so far, no luck with my calendar. I've gone through the trouble of completely deleting everything off my calendar and am trying "test" appointments to no avail. What's really frustrating is that I've logged out of my ID on this computer and logged in using a test ID. I can successfully sync a test appointment following those steps.
Tech support tells me that since I'm successful under those conditions, it must be a corrupt entry on my main calendar. But, as I've mentioned, I deleted everything I can find off my main calendar and am still not able to get it to sync successfully.
This is quite frustrating.

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

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.

Pdnsd works fine, but not after reboot

Hey guys, I just installed pdnsd and it works great, except that after each reboot, the server fails.
I've included it in my daemons array right after networking, and on reboot the boot messages show that it's starting successfully, but then it doesn't work and only gives a server failed error message when I run an nslookup or dig search.
Once booted, I can run /etc/rc.d/pdnsd restart and all is working fine again.
Anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks for any help.

skymt wrote:Did you get my email? I asked you to run pdnsd as root and see what errors it prints. I've also discovered since then that pdnsd logs to /var/log/daemon.log, so the relevant contents of that file might also be useful.
Yes, I did skymt and thanks for that. I got no errors at all and it ran just fine. I had already looked in daemon.log but didn't see anything that led me to a fix.
I've found that if I use the "none" option for uptest in the server section, everything works fine on a fresh reboot. Is there any problem with me using that option? Or would changing some other option fix it, perhaps?
All the permissions seem to be in order on all files and folders related to pdnsd.
Thanks a million for the reply and help.
