Problem with win.8.1

pc getting hangs after update win. 8 to win.8.1

mahesh kasare,
After reviewing
a similar thread, it looks like the best course of action may be to revert back to Windows 8 and then try the Windows 8.1 update again.
In order to go back to Windows 8, you’re going to need to reinstall it using your recovery partition or installation media that came with your computer.
If you didn’t receive any installation media with your computer, you’ll need to access the recovery partition on your hard drive.
Some manufacturers provide a way of doing so by pressing one or more keys during startup.
You’ll need to look at your computer’s documentation to see if that information is provided.
Otherwise, in order to do this, you’ll need your USB recovery drive.
If you don’t already have one and you have access to another Windows 8.1 computer, you can
create a USB recovery drive from it. If none of these options are available, you’ll need to contact your computer’s manufacturer.
Once you have your recovery drive, you can insert it into your computer and boot from it.
Follow the on screen directions and you’ll be able to restore your computer to its original configuration.
I hope this helps!

my graphics card is Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller, and maybe should install a module for it works with wine.
The window where you start all options configuration appears to me, but when I go to Play THPS4! showed me the error. The version of my wine is wine-1.1.8. I don't know if I have to install any shape or form over any other option in winecfg.
thanks

Can you try it on a desktop comp using arch and wine instead? Maybe it's a graphics problem? Anyway, I've checked the min req. and it's quite low..
Please check this site if your game is supported or if ever you want to play another game in the future.

Problem with Wine, NVidia and fullscreen games

Hi,
I'm writing about a problem i recently noticed with wine, nvidia gpu and fullscreen 2d games.Basically the problem is as follows - i am running arch with the latest kernel and nvidia drivers on Thinkpad T61 with NVidia Quadro NVS 140M. I have a problem with old 2d games like Red Alert 2, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Diablo 2, Heroes 3. All of these games do not support the native 1440x900 resolution of my screen and all of them work fine in window mode but crash if fullscreen is selected. I managed to get some of them working by making them work at higher resolutions. For example although Red Alert 2 does not support 1440x900, it can be easily made to work at that resolution and after i applied the necessary settings it worked. The same was with Heroes 3 - by default it does not support 1440x900 and it used to work only i window mode but there is a HD mod which allows it to run in higher resolutions and after i applied it it worked perfectly in fullscreen. I haven't thested Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale but i think it will work there too.
The problem is that i cannot use this approach to all games - for example i must run Diablo 2 and Starcraft in their original resolutions. I read somewhere that the problem is that wine can only change between the resolutions described in the xorg.conf file and if doesn't find the necessary resolution the game will crash or will only take the portion of the screen that is its resolution - for example when i play Starcraft rather than stretching it to the whole screen it simply takes 640x480 pixels of my screen and the game is displayed in the top left corner of the screen leaving everything else black.
I didn't have this problem before - it is something new though i'm not sure since when do i have the problem because i rarely play games. As for the idea that the problem may be related to the resolutions defined in the Xorg.conf file, my xorg.conf is automatically generated by the nvidia installer and there are no resolutions defined there.

Try nvidia 304.48
I remember that issue, with the 302 series.
I have Nvidia 304.48 installed and the problem still exists (it also happens with Catalyst). This didn't occur with 295.59 using the same version of Wine.

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

Adobe Elements 9, sharing photo mail problem with Win. 7, Live Mail.

Last Oct. 2011 I bought a new HP laptop with Win. 7 I and PS Elements 9 and Permiere 9. I am familar to XP and PS Elements 6. I play with photos alot and shortly found that I could not send/share photos using Photo Mail and Win. Live Mail. I contacted Adobe and was told that it was HP's problem. I contacted HP, They worked very hard on trying to find the solution. I was in contact with 3-4 techs. accessing my lap top for 4-6 hours trying many things. Finally I was told that I needed Outlook to use Photo Mail and that if I bought Micro. Office it would have Outlook. I think it was around $200.00. I already had Office Home and Student and told the tech. that I had already paid $$$ for the laptop and programs and the unit should work. The tech. tried to down load a pervious ver. of Outlook, but it didn't work. I was told that sometimes when purchasing a custom pc thing do not work properly. The last Tech.told me it was Adobe's problem. I didn't know what to do-----I finally called Adobe back. I explained the problem---this Tech. said "no problem" and had it fixed in no time at all! It had something to do with a number as I recall. Access # ? I don't recall.
Last week I got some type of a virus and had to restore back to factory settings. Now I am in the same problem and cannot fix the problem. I called both Abobe and HP. They both told me to purchase help one at $50.00 the $39.00 and it would be fixed. The other option is to purchase Elements 10 around $100.00. and the problem will be fixed.
AM I FRUSTERATED----YES!
Mel

I would not normally recommend going back to earlier software but if you are re-building it may be worth installing the original version of MS Live Mail. But PSE does not work with Live Essentials 2011.

I've already tried a lot of versions, I also tried to delete my ~/.wine directory.
Do you have any idea ?

Well I had a problem where wine would crash and bring my xserver with it!
The problem was that dri was not enabled, so you might want to try enabling it.

Partition problem with Win 7 and Lion

I have a 2011 Mac Mini with two hard drives - the original 500GB drive and a SSD.   The SSD is laid out as follows:
$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *60.0 GB    disk0
   1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS OSX Lion SSD            19.0 GB    disk0s2
   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3
   4:       Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP W7             40.2 GB    disk0s4
It has my two bootable operating systems and works fine (for now) so I am happy to leave it alone.
The problem is with the second drive. It has:
1) EFI partition 200M
2) Original Lion install 40G HFS+
3) Original recovery partition 650M
4) Space set aside for OSX HFS+ 160G (has some big files in it)
5) Space set aside for Windows NTFS 300G (no files in it yet)
I think there is a problem with MBR vs GPT and Disk Utility vs Disk Management.
Disk Utility or fdisk calls it
/dev/disk1
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *500.1 GB   disk1
   1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk1s1
   2:       Microsoft Basic Data                         37.6 GB    disk1s2 (these entries are wrong)
   3:       Microsoft Basic Data                         650.0 MB   disk1s3
   4:       Microsoft Basic Data                         161.5 GB   disk1s4
   5:       Microsoft Basic Data NTFS stuff              300.1 GB   disk1s5 (this entry seems right)
and I cannot access the partitions in Lion.
Gdisk calls it:
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.1
Partition table scan:
MBR: hybrid
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present
Found valid GPT with hybrid MBR; using GPT.
Disk /dev/disk1: 976773168 sectors, 465.8 GiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes

   5       390590464       976773119   279.5 GiB   0700 Basic data partition (name is wrong)
Windows Disk Management is happy to see inside the HFS partitions, so I know all my files are at least still there. I had a 5th NTFS partition formatted, but upon going into Lion and back, it disappeared.
I think ideally what I would like to have is a spare Lion + recovery partition on this drive in case my SSD barfs, then a big NTFS partition to hold my Windows files. I guess merging the 40G OSX and 160G HFS+ partitions will be ok. Could the problem be related to MBR having a limit of 4 partitions? There isn't any data on this drive that isn't backed up, but I would rather do this partition fixing shuffle without having to restore big files. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

I managed to fix the problem. First I used Disk Utility to delete the NTFS partition. It hung during the process, so I quit it, and the partition was deleted anyway. Next, I used gdisk to change the partition type from 0700 to AF00 and AB00 for the Lion and Recovery partitions respectively. It worked and I can access the partitions under OSX again. Thanks, everybody, you've been super helpful.

Y510P Synaptic Touch Driver Problem with win 8.1

Under warranty my Y510P Elan touchpad was replaced with a Synaptics and now will randomly not register a tap until taped 3 times. After the 3 tap it works fine again for a while then repeats the cycle over and over. After many tech suport calls it was sent in, twice, and sent back with no repairs made. They push the one button recovery and ship it back.
They told me that the system is set up for Windows 8.0 and not 8.1 so it's driver is the problem and when Synaptics updates it's driver all will be well. After a call to Synaptics I was informed that it's not an issue with 8.1 because it's the same as 8.0 as far as there touch pad and driver were concerned. This thing was not cheep and has turned out to be such a boat anchor.

The y510p has a whole range of issues, it has een discontinued, Im having a lot of problems with mine as well. Lenovo should atleast help out owners who bought this $900+ laptop.

Problems with Win XP drivers on a Satellite A200-1FL (PSAE06E)

Hi,
I have problems with a WinXP 32bit installation (downgrade of vista 32bit):
with the sound, with two pci devices and with the mass storage driver.
Xp install some sound drivers: codec, imported or generic controller... I dont know,... but it doesnt work.
Please help!!! I dont know so much in all those matters...

> Xp installs some sound drivers: codec, imported or generic controller... I dont know... but it doesnt work.
Did you check the installation instruction txt file? I dont think that you have checked it because there you will find guide lines how to install the drivers and what installation order is important!!!
I dont understand people who write anything about drivers and the installation processes and dont check the existing documents and help files.
Do firstly install everything like mentioned then if the problems stills exists you can come back and ask for the help ;)

I have a scenario with RDS 2012 with Session host in 2008 R2 SP1, and on clients with windows XP SP3 and win 7 SP1 32 bits, printer configuration looks ok but in windows 7 64 bits it looks like a truncated configuration , i have been tested every solution
that was reported before, like changing GPO, install Drivers in the clients and in the server, changed display resolution (to print in video) and nothing works, is any issue or incompatibility reported in this cases ?
Thanks in advance

Problems with Win 7 drivers

I am running a Win 7 Pro (32-bit) partition with Bootcamp 2.2 and am unable to find any sound drivers, which is strange because this is actually a reinstall of the Win 7 OS. In my previous install I was able to get sound drivers despite the Bootcamp setup failing to run from the Leopard install disk when in the freshly made windows partition.
I have tried to install the drivers which come on the orig leopard install disk (both realtech and Sigmatel drivers in both XP and Vista compatibility mode)but both have "failed to install." I have also tried to find drivers directly from RealTech's website but have not had any success.
I think that the sound drivers magically appeared after about a month the first time I installed Win 7, a few weeks after its official release, because I had sound back then.
So, my question is... how do I get sound back?!
Has someone come up with a magical konami code that activates it or do I just have to upgrade to Snow leopard for Boot camp 3.x?

I messed up and was running the "compatibility troubleshooter" option, I had not truly changed the compatibility to run in Win Vista (service pack 2.) SO, to answer for anyone one how has this problem. Copy the Setup file from the Leopard CD, right click, properties, compatibility tab, change it, apply, then double click the file and setup will run. After it ran I restarted (still no sound) and then ran the Realtek driver after changing the compatibility in the same way, restarted, and head the beautiful shut down sound!
Nothing makes you feel stupider than answering your own question after asking the World wide web for help...
