Problem mit ThinkPad Power Manager Desktop Windows 8.1 Thinkpad W530

Hallo Zusammen
Ich habe auf meinem W530 Windows 8.1 installiert.
Ich habe von der Lenovo Website folgendes Tool heruntergeladen und installiert "ThinkPad Power Manager Desktop Windows 8.1". Das hat alles soweit geklappt.
Nun wollte ich die Einstellungen ändern, es zeigt mir aber nur den Netztbetrieb an ich kann keine Einstellungen ändern für dne Akkubetrieb (Siehe Bild)
Hat jemand eine Ahnung wie ich die Einstellungen für den Akkubetrieb ändern kann.
Ich bin fast am verzweifeln, denn der Energie-Manager von Windows ist absoluter schrott, der Akku ist ständig leer.
Besten Dank
Chrigge
Gelöst!
Gehe zu Lösung.

Dank für deine Antwort.

Klick mal oben auf Wechseln zu Allgemein da hast du glaub ich eine bessere Ansicht und ganz regeln "Hohe Leistung" oder "Lange Akkulebensdauer. etc..
Ich habe es ausprobiert, aber es ändert sich garnichts an den Einstellungen, weder wird die Bildschirmhelligkeit verringert noch hält der Akku wirklich länger.
Ich habe das Gefühl, dass die Windows einstellungen den Powermanager von Lenovo übersteuern.

Ansonsten wenn du denn Akku länger halten willst unten auf Maximale Energiesparung klicken.
Dieses Vorgehen ist für mich nicht so praktikabel, denn ich möchte die Einstellungen lieber einzeln vornehmen, um die Akkulebensdauer und Performance an meine Bedürfnisse anzupassen.

Power Manager for Windows Vista - ThinkPad

The link show the update is for a T61p, running Vist,
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70601
But once the download is done, the system refuses to install the v2.50 - why is that ?
The pc is aT61p, vista Ult., with PMgt 2.3.

Hi Ran,
Thanks!
I haven't tried it yet.
In the meantime i did more testing and found out that even with only Power Manager version 2.41a installed the latest Intel Pro wireless driver also supported by lenovo is not stabel and FN-F5 or windows network connection also fails to switch the radio back on after a reboot when the radio has been turned off first ;-(
Reading http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67283
over and over I decide to revert back to the old Intel wireless driver listed on this page.

Battery gauge error running Power Manager for Windows XP version 5.20

Last week on my R61 (8932-CTO), Update Retriever and System Update requested that I download and install ThinkPad Power Manager for Windows XP version 5.20. After rebooting, I immediately received an error box with the following message:
An exception occurred while trying to run"C:\Progra~1\ThinkPad\UTILIT~1\PWRMGRTR.DLL,PwrMgrBkGndMonitor"
As a result of this error, the battery gauge no longer displays correctly. The space where it used to be is blank, but clicking the empty space still gives you the option of starting Power Manager.
What is puzzling about this is that version 5.20 is not available in either in the Driver Matrix, nor on the Downloads and Drivers web page. The version of the software that is presented there is version 5.13.
The driver for ThinkPad Power Manager for Windows XP - version 5.20 can be downloaded from:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/ghu704ww.exe
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/ghu704ww.txt
Another interesting point, is that this version of the driver has, as yet, not been presented to me on my R500 (2714CTO), although both machine types are listed as supported models.
Why are Update Retriever and System Update downloading software that apparently has not been officially released yet? Why is this only happening on my R61 and not on my R500?
And last of all, why has his software been released when it seems to have an obvious problem?
Any explanations would be appreciated.

Power Manager for Windows 8.1

Where is Power Manager for Windows 8.1? (For ThinkPad Edge series laptops)
There is a "Lenovo Power Management Driver", but no application/software to go along with it.
Does anyone know?

Good day and welcome to the community.
Please see: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8-and-8-1/ThinkPad-software-for-Windows-8/td-p/899865
There is no official support for ThinkVantage Power Manager beyond Windows 7.
There are reports that some have installed it, but there are warnings that it may(?) clash with Windows 8/8.1 native power management functions and potentially cause system instability.

Why do you want to install that on your ThinkPad? It's for ThinkCentre desktop computers, not ThinkPad laptops.
I have Power Manager running fine on my X220, as I mentioned above.

Lenovo Power Manager in Windows 8

Hi guys,
Since Lenovo Power Manager is not available for Windows 8 (no matter my laptop is specified to be FOR Windows 8... grrrrr...) I've been playing around because I needed not the infamous power gauge taking space in my taskbar, but some advanced settings.
Well, I found a couple of things:
Power Manager (g6u432ww.exe) can be installed in Windows 8 and can be used. Even the power gauge.
To install it, you have to run the setup in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
It doesn't work very well: sometimes it crashes or the UI won't open (at doesn't open anymore, no matter what you do). But it does run the first time (use it before restarting) and you can change battery settings and some other stuff anyway.
Do create a Restore Point before, because is not created automatically and because you won't be able to uninstall it later, since the setup expects Windows 7.
If you install Lenovo Settings Dependency Package (gfsd02ww.exe) after that, Power Manager gets upgraded from version 6.36 to 7.11. But still crashes.
Settings regarding battery charging are kept, no matter you restore Windows using system restore. So you can create a Restore Point, install Power Manager, change battery settings, and then restore Windows.
Is not a solution (I'm still expecting for Lenovo to fix this support for Windows 8). But at least I was able to stop the battery from charging all the time.
This has been tested on a ThinkPad Edge S430.
One important question left is:
Why Lenovo Power Manager 7.11 can't be downloaded and installed normally? I couldn't care less for the Metro Store Apps and bulky gadgets. But I want to be able to change some settings.
Cheers.
If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

There's a stickied thread at the top of this board which explains / discusses ThinkPad software for Windows 8, hopefully the information you are looking for is there.

Can't uninstall Lenovo Power Manager in Windows 8 - upgraded from Windows 7

Hi all, I recently purchased a Lenovo X230. It was preloaded with Windows 7 Home Premium. I upgraded this system to Windows 8 Pro without any problems.
I noticed that Windows 8 Pro has some issues with the Lenovo Power Manager, which after perusing this forum seems to be pretty incompatible with Windows 8. I am trying to uninstall the Power Manager in the Control Panel, but I can't find the application to install. I only see an option to uninstall the Lenovo Power Management Driver. Does anyone know how I can uninstall the entire Lenovo Power Manager from my system?

Backstory: I installed the Power Manager on a clean installation of Windows 8 by setting it to Windows 7 Compatibility Mode. It seemed to be working swimmingly, until the next day when I tried to use it and discovered that it would always crash on start-up. Unfortunate. I naively attempted to correct this problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the application. Strangely, I was able to successfully uninstall the program using the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel and then reinstall the program. But, despite the reinstallation the problem persisted and I tried to uninstall the program again. It would not uninstall, claiming the installer wasn't compatible with my system.
Fix: Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information\{DAC01CEE-5BAE-42D5-81FC-B687E84E8405}\Setup.exe" -l0x9 -AddRemove from an administrative command prompt. This should completely remove Power Manager and it's entry in the Add/Remove Programs console. The GUID may be different if you were not using the most recent version of Power Manager, I installed 6.36. The additional power plans that it originally installed are still in the Windows Power control panel.
I am still wrestling with the Power Manager to get it working somewhat reliably on Windows 8. I am very disappointed that this level of effort is required on a new system that is Windows 8 compliant.

Edge E540: Power Manager for Windows 8.1?

The Thinkpad Edge E540 currently comes with Windows 7 preinstalled, Windows 8 added as recovery disk. It is also suffering from an issue, where the fan will spin unnecessarily fast until going to standby and waking up again.
As a solution it was suggested to use the Power Manager utility [1]. However, the download page [2] lists the Power Manager only for Windows 7 (and indeed it won't install on Windows 8.1).
Does this mean that the Power Manager is not available for Windows 8? If it isn't, will it be?

Problem with installing power manager

Hello,
I've been trying to install power manager 6.36 without success.
The first setup which installs files into "c:\swtools\readyapps\pwrmgrv" goes well. but when im trying to install Power Manager and click next to install to the destination folder ("Program files (x86)\ThinkPad\Utilities) it freezes.
http://postimage.org/image/4plchblmx/ - freezes here and cant do anything but exit the installation.
After it failed couple times I've been trying to install my original power manager 3.48 but it freezes just like 6.36.
*tried to install it with Manual Install & Silent Install - both failed.
What can I do?

I had the same issue with some sw earlier on my laptop with Win7/64 bit. That sw didn't want to be installed and needed the old .NET vesion. At the same time my system restricted old version .NET environment installtion process from M$ site or from sw installation package as I had up to date .NET. The result was I couldn't avoid that strange behaviour.

No power manager in Windows 8 - this forever?

Since the power manager app doesn't seem to work on Windows 8, how do you check the battery charge cycles? Also, is it gone forever or is Lenovo working on fixing the compatibility?
I have an X230.

See http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Windows-8-Power-Management-Software/m-p/983... for Windows 7 workarounds.
I haven't seen Lenovo confirm there will be a Windows 8 version.

Probleme mit Thinkpad Yoga

Hallo,
ich habe seit März letzten Jahres ein Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga und seit dem nur Probleme... kurz zur Hintergrundstory:
direkt nach Erhalt hab ich bemerkt das immer wenn ich das Notebook angehoben habe und dabei die Bodenplatte berührt habe der Sound aus gegangen ist, Lenovo Support vor Ort hat mir gesagt, dass das Mainboard kaputt ist und ausgetauscht werden muss. 4 Wochen später war es dann auch ausgetauscht, doch schon am nächsten Tag viel mir auf, dass die Tastaturschablone nicht mehr vollständig rausgefahren kam. Also wieder zum Support vor Ort und erfahren das wohl die Tastatur defekt sei und sie die neu bestellen müssten, nach 6 Wochen war diese immer noch nicht verfügbar. Also habe ich das Gerät an den zentralen Support gesendet und auch nach 2 Wochen ein funktionierendes Gerät bekommen. Man hat sogar direkt ein neues Display eingebaut da ich dort unter dem Ghosting Effekt litt und sich die Taskleiste dauerhaft ins Display gebrannt hatte (wiederum war ein Austausch in meinem Store auf Grund von Lieferproblemen nicht möglich!).
Dann hat das Notebook bis vor kurzem ganz gut funktioniert. Neuerdings ist der Ghosting Effekt zurück...und da ich derzit sehr viel schreiben muss ist mir aufgefallen, dass beim Drücken der Tastatur und des Trackpoints!! die Tastatur(bzw das was drunter ist) auf den Lüfter (wenn er läuft) durchdrückt und man ein heftiges Schleifen hört.
Soll das heißen das das Gerät schon wieder zur Reparatur muss?? Ist das die Regel bei diesem Thinkpad? Hat jemand Erfahrungen oder gab es dazu schon eine Stellungname seitens Lenovo, hab nichts dazu gefunden aber das Gerät scheint auch nicht sonderlich verbreitet zu sein, kein Wunder bei der Preisklasse... vor allem da es nur eine einjährige Garantie gibt bekomm ich langsam Bammel das ich die Reparaturen bald selber zahlen muss!
Beste Grüße
c.lange

Hallo,
Ich muss das Ganze hier jetzt noch einmal updaten. Nachdem mein lokaler ThinkPad Support Shop in leipzig sich nach 6 Wochen leider ausser Stande sah das Gerät zu reparieren, habe ich es eingeschickt.
Heute kam es zurück und man hat den Lüfter getauscht und nebenbei noch das Bios resetet ohne auch nur die Uhrzeit wieder einzustellen...Leider hat man sich mal wieder nicht um die Tastatur-Schablone des Yoga gekümmert, so dass diese immernoch wackelt als gäbe es kein morgen. Zum Thema Batterie hat man mir des Weiteren mitgeteilt, dass meine Batteriedefekt sei und nicht von der Garantie abgedeckt wird. Ich frage mich was denn, wenn keine defekte Batterie von der Garantie abgedeckt wird! Auf mein Beanstanden des Ghosting Effekts ist man dieses Mal übrigens einfach gar nicht eingegangen, ich nehme an Sie warten jetzt bis die Garantie abläuft und meine Ansprüche gänzlich verfallen sind...
Was lernen wir? Nur "richtige" ThinkPads kaufen, auch wenn man dann trotzdem mit dem selben Support konfrontiert ist, ihn nur hoffentlich seltener nutzen muss, oder einfach direkt auf Lenovo verzichten....
