S20 Won't boot to windows with network cable connected

S20-4157, Windows 7 x64
Every time I reboot my machine, I have to unplug the network cable.  I can plug it back in after I log in.  If I don't, it gets stuck on the windows startup screen.
I think this is related to the lenovo power manager.  I get the following event log error on boot:
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
TPPWRIF
When I go to control panel, and start the power manager app, it does not start.  Locked up with splash screen.  I tried uninstalling the program as well, and cannot.  Get an "unable to run on this system" message when I try to uninstall.

That's odd to say the least.  DId this app come installed from the factory?  I'm not sure why a thinkpad power manager utility would be included in our preloads.  The fact that you're not able to uninstall it sort of concerns me.  Have you tried uninstalling via safemode or when logged in as administrator?

  • Laptop won't boot in windows with lan enabled in BIOS

    Hi,
    Toshiba A200-AH3. Windows 7. 
    So at one point it stopped loading windows 7, it would load until this point (loading screen for windows 7). So, I reinstalled Windows 7 (once format). Twice. It still didn't work. So, somebody gave me the idea to disable everything in bios, which I did. And then it worked. So I went back and just enabled the 2nd CPU in bios and that's about it. A few days ago I needed to connect the lan and I went to bios and enabled lan. Guess what, it would stop at the loading screen just like before.
    Safe mode does not work either. 
    With lan turned off in bios, I went to Toshiba.ca and installed the Realtek-Network-Driver6.189.1213.2006 for Windows Vista (as they say this should work on win7 too). Enabled lan and it still didn't boot windows. 
    What are my options?

    I would need to make the Lan work.
    You can obtain an ExpressCard for the LAN. Here are a few at NewEgg.
    how do I flash the bios.
    I'm assuming you have 32-bit Windows. This should work in Windows 7 as well.

  • SatelliteA300: standby or hibernate fails with network cable connected

    I am unable to get my laptop to stay in standby or hibernate for more than a minute, unless I remove the router cable.
    All programs have been stopped first, no other viruses have been detected or other unexpected behaviour.
    Can anyone advise please?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Maybe you should disable the Wake up on LAN in BIOS.
    Check it!

  • Since Mavericks Upgrade iMac won't shutdown with network cable plugged in

    Since Upgrading to Mavericks my iMac won't shutdown - just stays on grey timer screen.
    I tried multiple fixes from forum suggestions.
    If I unplug the network cable it seems to shutdown fine.
    How can I fix this issue?

    I am working with a T42 (old computer) and it will not boot into Windows with network cable plugged in. It hangs just after the Windows splash screen. Unplug the cable turn off and back on and it works fine.

  • Please help Mum's Acer Aspire 8.1 won't boot to windows even with a windows disc BSOD

    Hi.  I am sooo very frustrated.  My mum has an ACER Aspire E1-522 series.  She's been having probs with it since last summer as it turned very s-l-o-w and would take forever to do its updates...however, the internet is messed up here sometimes and hard to 'jump onto' with Wifi as she's not 'hardwired' to the internet.  Anyway, I had cleaned out her system a few times, no probs...Then AFTER the last update from windows ( approx. a month ago) and the computer shut itself down. Whenever she turned it on, it would 'interrupt' her after sign on screen for Windows and then say it was fixing itself.  I told her I would try to fix it (as we CANNOT afford to take it to repair for $100+) So I bought a 16g usb to do a back up on (it has never been done) as the back up would not go onto discs (??) Now, that I invested $ in that, the darn thing will ONLY come on with logo, and IF I'm lucky, will come on with blue screen "windows encountered an error, wait for repair..." then it goes black (or sometimes blue) for days...WHAT can I do?? How do I fix this? I don't know how to get the battery out either, but I don't want to damage the computer in case it does have to go to the shop.  And how does one even 'get in' for the RAM in case that is the problem? PLEASE PLEASE help!! ( it's not even 2 yrs. old... but it is out of warranty...) Thank you for reading my rant! (OH-PS: We tried to boot to windows with a disc and NO luck..)

    Hi,
    Would you please first check if the system can startup into Safe mode?
    Then, please try the startup repair in Advanced menu after you boot your computer via installation media.

  • Startup Chimes with audio cable connected?

    My Mini has started to sound it's healthy startup chime even when there is an audio cable connected to the audio/headphone output. The output works fine and sends audio to the speakers, but how can I mute the chime at startup?
    Previously it always muted that sound with a cable connected and I believe it started chiming when I updated to 10.5.4.
    TIA.

    The mini generates the startup chime via the internal speakers regardless of whether external speakers are connected or not - the necessary support for the hardware audio port isn't loaded until after the power-on self test (which is what generates the chime) so in common with the iMac range, the chime comes from the internal speakers.
    The only way to mute the chime at startup is to set the Sound preference pane to Mute (check the 'Mute' box in the Sound Effects tab). There are also some utilities such as Startup Sound (http://www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~arcana/index.en.html) which variously succeed in muting the chime, though these tend to get broken with MacOS updates.

  • No audio with HDMI cable connect - need optical cable?

    I have just connected my AppleTV 2 with my Pioneer ELITE 910 HD Plasma TV system.  I have a hard wire ether net connected.  I have a great picture coming out of the HDMI connection from AppleTV plugged into my ELITE 910 HDMI Media Receiver.  But I am not hearing audio.  I have gone through the 'settings' menu on the AppleTV screen and have every setting correct (I believe)   It might appear that I may have to purchase an Optical Digital Audio Cable that would input into my Pioneer ELITE VSX-54TX receiver (that does have an Optical Digital Input that has not been used.)
    Am I on the right track?  I was hoping the video AND audio would travel through the HDMI connection.   I don't want to spend money on the cable if I don't need it.

    Re: No audio with HDMI cable connect - need optical cable?
    Yes, audio and video should go via HDMI.
    Do other peripherals work ok with the pioneer over HDMI.
    My LG BlueRay player works fine.  My TIVO works fine -- good audio and video
    AppleTV is a bit odd with audio at times.
    Does the pioneer media box handle doilby digital and linear PCM?
    I don't know what "linear PCM" is.  All the specs on this 2004 system are here:
    http://plasmatvbuyingguide.com/plasmatv/pioneer-pro910hd.html
    If you have Dolby Digital set to Auto I'd expect you to get some audio - if set to On and media box can't decode DD then you may get no sound.
    Try cycling those settings as well as the one for audoo bit depth.
    Have done all this.  Still no audio

  • ITunes 7 won't install on windows 2000 (network error) but iTunes 6 works

    Hi, I hope someone can help me with this. I have been trying for almost a week to download the "Idol gives back" videos but I'm not able to with iTunes 6. Says I have to upgrade...sounds easy enough, so I download Itunes 7. I already have the latest quicktime installed and it works fine. The setup for iTunes 7, however, will not work. I get this exact message:
    Could not access network location iTunes\.
    I read in another forum that editing some registry keys would help but that didn't work. What does this error mean? And why won't iTunes 7 work with Windows 2000 whenever iTunes 6 works perfectly? This is very frustrating, all I want to do is download the Idol gives back videos to help out the children's charities. I never thought they would make it so difficult. I know I can't be the only one with iTunes 7 issues. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    that's normal. a number of the error messages that displayed with a number in 6.0.x and earlier versions of iTunes (like the 1606, the 1316 and certain species of the 1402) no longer get the number showing up with the error message with the 7.x installers. (it seems to have been part and parcel of the change away from basing the installers on InstallShield technology.)
    okay, let's try the general advice from the following document to see if that can help:

  • Computer won't boot after windows 7 install.... :( [Solved]

    I have 2 hard drives. The first drive is my main arch linux install. The second drive I use to install various operating systems. My school was selling windows7 for $30...I couldn't resist the cheap price...now I'm paying for it ><
    I unplugged the hard drive with my arch linux install from my computer. (sda) Then installed windows 7 on the second hard drive. I reattached the first hard drive to my computer. (this was so i could avoid having to re-install grub)
    My computer would not boot. I decided to install linux mint -- something I was going to do anyway -- that way I could boot into arch linux and fix things. Mint installed fine. But my computer STILL won't boot. I get grub error 22. What's up with that? Is this something to do with windows7?
    Hard Drives:
    /dev/sda1 ext2 /boot 100 MB
    /dev/sda2 extended
    /dev/sda5 ext3 arch / 130 GB
    /dev/sda3 ext3 arch /home 166 GB
    /dev/sda4 swap 1.72 GB
    /dev/sdb1 ntfs windows7 65 GB
    /dev/sdb4 ext3 mint / 19GB
    /dev/sdb2 swap 1GB
    /dev/sdb3 ext3 media 900 GB
    Should I install grub to the MBR?
    I checked to make sure that nothing in my arch linux install was erased using the arch install cd... I really need to get this fixed before classes on monday so any help would be appreciated.

    I was going to say, even at $30 you still managed to get the full windows experience at first boot!

    God i hope not.  just stay away from windows if that happens

  • Lion won't boot (difficult upgrade with relocated home folder)

    i seem to be having a very difficult upgrade and am hoping for some more help.
    i have a 2006 mac pro with LION on the drive in bay 1, a partition of windows 7 on drive 1 and my HOME FOLDER on the drive in bay 3. i also have a drive in disk 2 which contains a CLONE of the OS on drive disk 3 started reporting a need to Repair when running DU - and this Repair ran into complications - so i just decided to upgrade to a new 2012 computer and move along.
    right now i have all my data and yosemite on the new 2012.
    /however/ my TIME MACHINE drive will not mount on the new computer and even when i try to force it to mound (right click on the drive in DU) it will not mount and asks if i want to initialize it.
    so i tried to boot into the 2006 computer with LION in order to see if i can get the TIME MACHINE drive to mount and no i enter my password and now this computer won't boot and i am getting a cannot boot error of some kind (this happens after i enter my password). i have /also/ tried this with my external CLONE of the OS drive in bay 1 and i also get this error.
    so here are my questions:
    1. i moved some data around on the HOME FOLDER disk in drive 3 and i am wondering if possibly this is the issue. also, this drive was reporting as needing repair and has still not been repaired. can i remove this disk, put it in the new computer, REFORMAT it and then CLONE my external backup of this drive back to this drive - and then place it back in the old machine and see if this works?
    2. can i take the drive in bay 2 that has the CLONE of my OS drive in bay 1 and put it in bay 1 and try and boot into LION off this drive?
    i would like to keep LION running in part because i have a couple of boot camp installations (one i would like to migrate over to the new machine) but also because i want to see if i can still have access to the Time Machine backup.
    thanks for any help as i'd like to get unstuck a bit here.

    All the various boot key combinatiuons should be pressed immediately after your hear the boot chime.

  • MBP Won't Boot to Windows/CD

    I have a late 2011 15inch MBP running OS X Lion 10.7.4 with a 100GB Windows 7 partition that I access using either Bootcamp or Bootchamp.  I've had the laptop for 4 months. I need to use Windows for certain applications that don't have a Mac version.
    This week (believe it was Sunday/Monday) I can no longer boot to Windows using either Bootcamp/champ. 
    When I boot using camp I hit the alt key, access the drive selection screen and select the Windows HD.  Once I click on the Windows HD, the screen freezes and I have to do a hard reboot.  The same scenario happens when I try to boot from a CD.
    When I boot using Bootchamp I will select "restart to Windows", it freezes on a grey screen and I no longer have to access to my second monitor.  I also have to do a hard reboot.
    I have Apple One Care and called Apple tech support tonight.  I was told that my initial support expired 25 days ago and would have to pay $249 for a 1 year support package, pay $50 for single issue support, or take it into the nearest Apple store and "they might be able to help you".
    This is my first non-Ipod/Touch/Pad/Phone and honestly I'm very frustrated due to the lack of solutions/support.  I've found comments on the web with similar symptoms, but no consistent solutions.
    I would welcome any suggestions/solutions from the community in order to regain my ability to boot to Windows, because I am absolutely not getting it from Apple.

    Hi there , 
    I would be happy to assist you. As there are many models of HP Notebooks, I would need the model number (How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?) and Which Windows Operating System you are running. What led up to you needing to download the AMD HD 7690m XT Driver? Were you having an issue with your Notebook?Where did you download the AMD HD 7690m XT Driver from? Have you tried to boot into Safe Mode instead of starting Windows Normally? Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices connected to your Notebook, as these could cause some issues.
    Please re-post and let me know. 
    Look forward to hearing from you!

  • Boot-camp/Windows with cordless mouse and keyboard

    I am picking up my 27" quad core iMac tomorrow. In anticipation I bought the Pogue book on Snow Leopard. In it he says that you can't install Windows with the cordless mouse and keyboard but that once installed it can be used with the cordless mouse/keyboard. Will someone please tell me he is wrong .
    Thanks.

    I used mine to install Windows. Worked just fine till the Apple Bluetooth drivers were installed, then I just had to connect a regular USB keyboard/mouse to pair the bluetooth keyboard and mouse again.
    One suggestion, after you install the Boot Camp drivers and plug in your USB keyboard/mouse, uninstall the "Apple Bluetooth" drivers (I believe there are two of them) and restart your computer. Let Windows automatically install generic drivers for the built in bluetooth, THEN pair your wireless keyboard and mouse. After that you can reinstall the Apple bluetooth drivers if you want, although I don't think it's particularly necessary. The generic drivers seem to work fine in my experience.
    You may run into trouble pairing your keyboard and mouse, if so, refer to the "Boot Camp" section on this site, there are millions of threads about it there.

  • Mac Pro won't boot after Windows session

    My system was running fine before installing Leopard and then using Bootcamp to log into Windows. Now no matter what I've tried I cannot get it to boot back into OS X. I just get the white screen with the Apple logo and progress indicator. I can still boot into Windows fine.
    What can I try to fix this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Maybe we can kill two birds with one stone. I search other posts and the search didn't return any other posts about this that I was able to see....
    I am having the opposite problem. I can boot into OSX fine and use Windows via Fusion but when I try to boot directly into Windows using Boot Camp, it starts booting then stops and redirects into Leopard. This has happened repeatedly and I'm not sure what caused this because I was able to directly boot to Windows a few days ago.
    Thanks.
