Problem with Win 7 x64, WWAN or WiFi card and Windows XP Mode

I have a T500 with switchable graphics (2056-4RU) with a clean install of Windows 7 Pro x64 with the AT&T WWAN card.
With all the Win7 RTM drivers and Access Connections for Win7, I had a problem that the WWAN card (Ericson F3507g, purchased from Lenovo and working flawlessly under Vista 32-bit) would not initialize. Support told me to uninstall the Win 7 versions of the Power Manager Drivers, WWAN card driver and Access Connections and replace them with the Vista counterparts, which restored the functionality of my WWAN card. Based on the speed with which the support tech came up with the suggested fix, I suspect I am not the only one with the disappearing WWAN card problem.
Now I have found that starting the Windows XP Mode virtual machine kills the WiFi functionality (Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN) until I disable and re-enable the WiFi adapter in Device Manager and then restart the system. (I have not problems with XP Mode and with the Win7 drivers / Access Connections opening Windows XP Mode did not cause the problem with the WiFi.) Opening Windows XP Mode causes no problem with the wired network adapter on my system). 
Thus it appears that I can have functionality of the WWAN and WiFi adapters with XP Mode using the Released Win 7 versions and functionality of Windows XP Mode together OR I can have WWAN but not WiFi functionality with XP Mode using the Vista drivers that support suggested. However, it seems that I cannot have WWAN, WiFi and XP Mode concurrently.
I reproduced the above XP mode / WWAN problem / WiFi problems on a T500 with Win7 x64 owned by another family member.
Does anyone (particularly anyone from Lenovo) have fix for this?
Thanks.

for the sim card, try this:
http://jack.ukleja.com/update-ericsson-f3507g-mobile-broadband-on-windows-7-with-lenovo-thinkpad/com...
I have another operator and I finally gave up. apparently it's also no that easy to install the SIM card, if the plastic thing that helps to remove the SIM card  is not the right position, it will overlap the SIM Card chip.
can't help for the WIFI. I had the problems too with access connection and decided to remove it. I use Seven's network manager, which does an equally good job.
Since I have the switch to turn off the wireless, I don't really need access connection anyway.
Finally, something that I learns while struggling with the bluetooth driver: the order in which power manager, access connection and the different drivers are installed DOES affect their effectiveness. I forgot the details but I remember 2 things:
always read the TXT file that is available on the driver page on the lenovo web site and install power manager and access connection last.
Good luck

  • Install Problems with PC770 2-in-1 PC Card and ExpressCard

    Currently I'm trying to install a PC770 air card in a Dell Latitude E5400 running XP SP3 and having some problems. I have since updated the BIOS and chipset drivers on the E5400 so those are up to date. I will say that this card works fine in another laptop when tested so it appears to be a problem on the laptop.
    I have been able to plug the device into the PCMCIA slot, the solid green light is on. The install runs perfectly (at least it appears that way). Drivers look like they install, and the VZAccess Manager installs without a hitch.
    However, when I open the Access Manager, it will either say "powering on" or "configuring device" down at the bottom under the name PC770 for a second or two...then just drops to "Device not inserted." I can push the detect device button as well, and it does the same thing.
    When I look in Device Manager, I see the modem in there (Novatel Wireless Modem). I can even query the modem in the properties and everything looks okay. What doesn't look okay is that under "Other Devices" it has THREE "Data Interface" listings. When I remove the card, they go away. When I plug it back in, they come back.
    Anybody have any ideas??

    OK... the T500 and dock work fine apart.  Does anyone have any experience/luck with an NVIDIA GEForce 8400 GS?   This is tricky, as the drivers/support seems to be aimed at the Vista or Windows 7 OS crowd.

    hey guys... since I upgraded to itunes7 my ipod (4th gen click wheel) doesnt sync poperly! it all began when I was syncing the ipod and my screen just froze a few secs after connecing the ipod! I had to restart the computer and reset my ipod... from that time had alot of trouble!

I've just spent nearly two nights on that and really hope that my ipod didn't break just because of itunes7! to stay in proper english and not get that angry in letters that I am in mind--- please so help me... my ipod is everything and im a music junkey! by the way... itunes itself works perfectly... if i not sync! how peculiar that getting back to itunes6 is impossible...i tried it... does it hav a spec reason, hah!
    IBM, Pentium3 (666MHZ), FW(desire to fire), Ipod Click Wheel   Windows XP   30cm

    I tried formatting the ipod with windows! in the end of it windows says that it was not able to format the drive properly. then I click ok, open itunes, restore the ipod, try to sync again and have the problem that after a while the whole thing freezes... no more errors....just from the moment i disconnect the ipod manually from the cable, everything gets back to normal life again! I do not know what to do! do you guys think, my computer is too old or maybe my ipod's broke???
    I'm despairing people...never had problems like that until itunes7! I tried as well to close all the other working programs with the task manager... doesn't change it!

  • Problem with islsm drivers for my wifi card

    Hello! I'm using stable version of Arch Linux with newest beyound kernel (2.6.19 AFAIR) and trying to compile islsm drivers for my wifi pci card.
    I've downloaded source like it is showed in http://prism54.org/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=1557 and cut headers like it is showed in: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … +directory
    (i used 'sed -i /linux.config.h/d *' because i didn't compile kernel by self and make searches config file).
    Unfortunately after make load i get:
    make -C /lib/modules/2.6.19-beyond/build SUBDIRS=/home/radious/islsm MODVERSION=/home/radious/islsm/symbols MKPWD=/home/radious/islsm modules
    make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.19-beyond'
    Building modules, stage 2.
    MODPOST 4 modules
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.19-beyond'
    FATAL: Module firmware_class not found.
    FATAL: Module relayfs not found.
    FATAL: Module crc32 not found.
    Could anybody help me with this problem, any advice is welcome.
    Thank you.
    EDIT
    Ok, there was no problem:) It's enough to copy *.ko files /lib/modules/KERNEL/misc and load them by modprobe.
    This thread can be deletad, thank you.

    Hi: Unfortunately, the support pages are not working for most of the newer HP PC's. It has been that way for about a day now. Since I am not employed by nor do I represent HP, I am not sure when they will have the pages working again. Check back again some other time. With the Independence Day holiday weekend in the USA, I would not expect this to be taken care of immediately.

  • Z77A-G43 (MS-7758) problem with Win x64 install

    Hello,
    Motherboard is Z77A-G43 (MS-7758) latest bios v2.7.
    I would like to install Windows x64 on 3TB GPT disk.
    In accordance with the product description "3TB+ Infinity is not only breaking through the limit of traditional BIOS, but also enhancing the utilization of hard drives efficiently. In addition to supporting the latest 3TB hard drives, MSI 3TB+ Infinity technology can use the 3TB hard drive as boot disk when installing a 64-bit operating system. Compared to competitors, MSI 3TB+ Infinity is an industry-leading technology which substantially presents an advantage of development and application in the future."
    HDD is ST3000VX000-9YW166 connected as SATA AHCI. The device is recognized by the bios.
    To make sure that I use EFI, I boot with EFI shell and run BOOTx64.EFI from Windows install disk. I select the ST disk. It has one system partition of size about 128mg, the rest of the disk is unallocated. When I attempt to install Windows on the ST disk, I get the message "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
    What should I do to make Windows install on this disk?
    Thanks.

    Did you turn Infinity on?
    I believe Infinity is always on. At least I don't see such an option in bios.

  • More performance problems with Acrobat 11.0.9 on Mac and Windows

    Hello,
    So few weeks ago we had the experience of being upgraded to the new user interfaces in 11.0.9. Thanks to people on this forum we could disable the new Sign panel and UI customization allowed the addition of the signature tools we needed directly in the toolbar, so we're good here.
    Our other concern is the battery and processor time wasted by Acrobat. We have logged bugs for years and some of them have not been address while Adobe takes the time to add useless functionalities that drains our laptops batteries and suck our processor power.
    There is an extra process 'acroext' under the adobe executable that is unresponsive, and the only solution is to kill Acrobat. The same happens with Reader as well.
    Can we get rid of that? This is getting really PAINFUL!!!
    Thank you
    Jean

    Hi,
    I'm sorry if you experience performance issues and understand it can be frustrating.
    Can you help us help you:
    - What system are you running?
    - What does performance problems mean? Is Acrobat still responsive? How responsive is the user interface? Navigating through pages, etc? 
    We'll do our best to ensure the situation can be solved and you can enjoy using Acrobat on your computer.
    Thank you,
    Luc

  • Problems with Creative Video Blaster Webcam Go Plus and Windows XP SP2

    Hi,
    I have exprienced a big problem since installing Service Pack 2 on Windows XP. My Webcam Go Plus is now providing either a black picture or for a short time the correct picture but then the complete system breaks down. I've already read messages from other users, who had the same problem. So, I tried to install the new driver for "Creative Webcam" but it doesn't work. On the download page for my Webcam Go Plus there is only a driver from 2002, which I already installed before updating to Service Pack 2.
    Please help!

    Hey I'm having the same problem, and thought that maybe we'd get more help if a few people had this happening? It won't even install for me, when the camera is almost done, the camera beeps twice to say its on and then my computer turns blue and dies. i dont really like that screen, so if anyone can fix it or tell me what to do?

  • Problem with new Scandisk 32GB CompactFlash Memory Card Extreme Pro 600x UDM

    Canon provides an XF utility to read, combine, and export video files from the card to the computer. The utility works well with every CF card that I have used until I bought a new Scandisk CF card. The utility can access the XF files on the card but it cannot play them. Actually it does start to play then stops and starts. When I try to export a file to the computer it will not finish with even the smallest file. There is no problem with any of my other CF cards. Has anyone else seen this problem?

    Now that I am in the correct forum the question is for those users who use the Canon XF Utility - is there any reason for it to act differently with one type of CF card as opposed to another? I have sort of solved the problem by using the PP Media Browser instead of the Canon Utility to read my CF cards.

    i have problem with my iphone, it;s never lock and not read sim card, before reinstaling 6.01, thnx juliany

    If you are both on the T-mobile network, the sim card should work.  If you did a Erase All Content and Settings, then she should be at the point of activation as a new device...talk to T-mobile and be sure the sim she is using is a valid sim card.

  • I have a problem with using MacBook Pro as wifi router when connected to ethernet

    I have a problem with using MacBook Pro as wifi router when connected to ethernet. The Airport icon changes to show a laptop inside, my iPad shows connected (I think) but Safari will not operate. I tried pinging my iPad, it seems to see the iPad, but no connection to Safari or to other apps such as Good on the iPad. I have read many posting and tried repeatedly via Sharing in Systems Preferences, but no luck. Suggestions to fix, or is this a Lion problem?

    Usually this is a problem related to the domain name server address. If you open Network preferences, select your Ethernet port then click on the Advanced button then on the DNS tab. You will likely see an entry like 10.0.1.1 already listed. Click on the Add [-] button and enter 208.67.222.222 then click on the OK button and then on the Apply button.  See if this helps.
    if it does not help then repeat the above but with the Airport port.

  • Acrobat Problem with Vista X64 OLE calls

    Acrobat Problem with Vista X64 OLE calls - CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc") does NOT open its window in the CreateObject("AcroExch.App") - but opens a new (invisible) window. Works correctly in XP x64 and 32 bit Vista - happens with Acrobat v8 and v9.

  • T61 - problem with Vista x64 NVS 140M drivers

    Hi!
    I have problems with Vista x64 and NVS 140M drivers. Thing is that if I install them, everything will be slideshow, even the audio shutters quite bad and CPU is constantly over 45%. I have tried different driver versions but nothing has helped yet. Any ideas?
    I wonder if anyone has the old 7.15.11.0129 driver and could send it to me? Maybe that would help.

    Try the following test:
    - Go to Vista Sound Control Panel to view the S/PDIF out properties.
    - Click on the Supported Format tab page, select Dolby Digital and click Test.
    Is the test OK?
