T400s Graphics Driver Bug? Quickstart Icons Get Messed Up

Every now and then, upon boot-up, the screen on my T400s flickers. When this happens, all of the program icons on the Quick Launch toolbar get messed up. This is under Windows XP SP3 fully patched.
For example:
Microsoft OneNote is shown with the icon for Adobe Online
Microsoft Excel is shown with the icon for Amazon MP3 Downloader
Is anyone else having this problem? Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?
The device manager shows three Monitors, all "Thinkpad Display 1440x900", and all with Lenovo driver version 4.31.0.0
Thanks,

I just started getting the same problem with Quick Launch icons. Yes, the screen flickers, and then the Quick Launch icons are randomly assigned other icons. For example, Mozilla Firefox is assigned MS-DOS icon. I have a T400 with ATI graphics card runing Wndows XP, SP3. I noticed that when I log off and then log on, Quick Launch icons are okay.

Graphics driver bug on MacBook Air late 2010

I saw a graphics driver bug on MacBook Air late 2010.
The problem is that some programs that uses graphics card will not display some drop down menu correctly.
For example this will happen on Windows Live messenger and Firefox 4 beta.
Problematic WLM screen shot: http://a-fung.net/files/scr1.png
Correct WLM screen shot: http://a-fung.net/files/scr1_correct.png
Problematic Firefox 4 beta screen shot: http://a-fung.net/files/scr2.png
It does not happen when I ran it in VMWare fusion or other machines. So I am sure this is a graphics driver problem.
Does anyone know how often Apple push driver updates?
Or does anyone know anyway to solve this problem?
BTW, I tried to force-install a later nvidia driver from the official website. The drop down problem goes away but I lose the ability to change screen brightness.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your quick reply. I am not convinced it is a hardware problem. For if I hold the key that is faulty pressed for a few seconds it works, and the also works for a while before it stops working again. This to me seems like it is software based. Is there a secure way to test software vs. hardware e.g. by booting from an external image into a shell only? I do not think I have an image on a usb, is there any online server that I can connect to to try it?
Thanks again

I'm working with dual monitors but can't get it to boot up on my main screen, so all my icons get messed up

Hey all,
So I have a Mac Pro at work and it's connected to a 30" monitor and a smaller monitor. I have the larger one set as the primary screen, but when the computer boots it always uses the smaller monitor as the primary, load all my icon on the smaller monitor, then finally swaps everything to the larger monitor. This messes up all my icons on my desktop since they go from placment on a smaller screen then back to the larger one.
Is there any way to force the mac to boot up with the larger monitor? Or not screw up all my icons?

Yes.
A previous attempt was made through my home network, but after much name-calling at the tech support (dude wasn't listening to me) for the print server I bought (which SAYS they work with Mac... such BS), I gave up on that and hooked it back up to the PC. it worked fine. ButI want it to work with the Mac. It should be able to.
So, now it's hooked up, via USB, directly to the Mac. I love this MF printer... it's the one one I could find a the time that did everything I wanted... and I wouldn't go back to HP, even if they paid me. (that's what I had before)
Thanks

W700 desktop icons get rearranged every time I boot up

I read in this forum about a similar problem some people were having on theThinkpad W500 laptop running XP where their icons got messed up when they closed the lid. My problem is that my icons get messed up every time I turn the laptop on, and I'm running Win7. I have no idea what setting needs to be changed to prevent this. Does someone have the solution?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

T420s not getting Windows 7 Aero effect with newest 8.15.10.2769 Intel HD Graphics driver

Updated with the lenovo update tool to the newes Graphics driver.
Now i do not see the Aero effect in Windows 7.
My Machine: 4170CTO with Intel Graphics
When running the Win7 Aero effect troubleshooting tool it says that the "color depth is set too low".
When trying to open up the Intel graphics panel it will not show the GUI.
Opening the Lenovo ThinkVantage tool it will not show on the screen as well.
And the PC is slower.
I am happy to roll back to a previous driver version, however do not know how to get access to one.
Thanks, R.

Hey Robohofo,
I'm glad you were able to fix your computer, though its never fun to have to do a Clean wipe to get an issue fixed. Though I know this is late maybe if you come across this issue again one other thing you could do is Un-install the driver and then Re-install it.
Best Regards,
Hiro

Graphics Driver - Getting a bit confused

Dotted around this forum reference is always made to 'check that you have the latest graphic drivers installed', in another post referenced to flickr is a way 'one user has managed to tweak his graphic card settings' but somewhere else the advice given is 'disable the NVIDIA Control Panel'.
Forgive me, but this is all getting a bit confusing as LR is about the only application where I have come across so much confusion. Could someone in the know kindly tell me what the latest advice is please? In this post (mentioned before) Adobe actually suggest using the Windows driver http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400808&sliceId=1
Surely as NVIDIA is one of the more common display cards/drivers Adobe would have tested LR using their latest graphics cards - no? Indeed, if this is the case, wouldn't it be useful to users if Adobe actually published what graphic cards had been tested with LR and what the settings should be for each of the latest cards?
It might be looking at things in a very simple way, but surely the onus is upon Adobe to ensure that their application works with at least the newer systems and not put the user through exhaustive tests, tweaks and experimentation in the HOPE that performance will be improved.
Incidentally, I've got installed a NVIDIA 8800GT

I do not believe Lr uses the video GPU for processing and therefore there are no specific graphic card requirements.
What Adobe is recommending (and what I have done) is to disable the nView Desktop Manager. This software controls some apects of a desktop setup but is entirely optional and is not required for a multi monitor configuration using nVIDIA cards. The nView Desktop Manager is software separate from the graphics driver.
Why nView Desktop Manager causes Lr to go haywire is beyond me. And the nVIDIA forums have no mention of problems with Lr.

How do I get firefox to display images clearly? I've got Windows 2000 Pro and Firefox 3.6.6. Internet Explorer shows images clearly, so I'm sure I have the correct graphics driver. Do I need a plugin or add-on of some sort? When I go to "updates", it

When I use Firefox the images and logos don't show up clearly/correctly. I'm using Windows 2000 Pro. and just installed Firefox 3.6.6. I'm sure I have the right graphics driver as I'm able to see the images and logos clearly in Internet Explorer. I only have the "default plugin 1.0.0.15" installed. I'm thinking that I'm missing a plugin or add-on of some sort, but I'm not sure which one(s). When I go to "updates" it says there were no updates available. When I go to "Add-ons" it gives a list of Add-ons but I'm not sure which would help my issue. Any help would be appreciated.:)

How It Was Fixed (Possible Software Bug Not Hardware): Getting the iMac Screen/Menus Garbled and/or Yellow Circle Before Getting Into Finder Issues?

Hi. Possible fix done to my late- 2009 iMac's screen/graphics issue that may work God willing, hopefully for most [In my case it sometimes had that yellow circle that appears before it goes to the Finder but mostly it was a messed up desktop and menus (unreadable mostly) after months, prayers and weeks of fixing it; recommended to be read entirely first coz' it's a bit complicated (like a lot of subplots). If uncomfortable to try coz' it involved a GPU stress test, contact your authorized Apple service center for their advice]. I had an iMac (late 2009) screen garbling a few hours ago (was weeks ago when it resurfaced until it got worse that it's at every boot on Mavericks):
† I booted to Snow Leopard USB external (my back-up OS) drive then run the first person shooter at redeclipse.net. I set everything to max, including the display, resolution and graphics setting with fullscreen and v-sync on. I then refreshed it which brought it back to normal (I then tested it's stability with GPUTest 0.7 with Furmark for 15 minutes). * if the display options have been set to max before, bring it back to the default then refresh and then max it again Possibly any games that's has the graphic settings (or more advanced) of Red Eclipse could work (other free ones are Xonotic and Open Arena which are based on Quake 1 or 3s engine I believe).
Optional but not recommended (have warrantied if that's still available or have it repaired at authorized service centers):
If that doesn't work, review articles and videos on how to open an Intel iMac and get an iPhone/iPad/another way to get to the 'net ready for research (I opened mine very carefully on the right side with a cutter with blade extended far prying it carefully then I inserted a flat end, sturdy plastic used for mixing epoxy then removed the cutter carefully to let the plastic mixing tool do the prying) to see if the cable connected to the logicboard which is on top of, is connected (mine was detached but I'm not sure if the adjusting and tilting of the screen overtime for 2 & 1/2 years, detached it) then do † above again.
It could to be a software problem, a possible Apple ATI driver bug that takes overtime to surface (2 1/2 years it resurfaced because this started in my case after upgrading to Lion when Apple coded things mostly from the ground up. Snow Leopard didn't have this problem).
Thank you for your time. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/great upcoming weekend. I hope this helps.
God bless, Rev. 21:4, Matt. 16:18

Does an external display also act in a similar manner as the internal one?
Some earlier Intel-based iMacs had graphic processor card issues; not sure what
the symptoms of the majority of them were, but some had odd patterns, others
went black, and some would range from OK to totally unusable. Among others.
So there is a chance the graphic processor may be going out; or just the circuitry
that controls the backlight. An inverter may be weak or other circuit to the display
could be wearing out.
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
If you have access to an Apple Store with Genius bar, they can perform some kinds
of diagnostic tests there even though the computer is out-of-warranty; that may be
of help to narrow down the cause of the symptoms you've noticed. They may not be
able to repair it, however, at an Apple Store; as it is rather old by today's standard.
An Apple Authorized Service Provider could do repairs and testing on older models
the Apple Store's Genius and other may not be set up to handle due to vintage.
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Visit an Apple Retail Store
There is a country locator page to help find either of the above in regions outside
of the US & Canada, not sure how the above links would work; and it appears my
bookmarks to the country locator page may not be accessible now to post here.
You may be able to get an idea about what kinds of parts support the display
function by name by looking into an iFixit.com repair guide for your iMac series.
Hopefully the parts supporting the display are the reason it is dimming down, as
a graphic processor failure likely would exhibit other behaviors than just dimming.
PS: I see you've added content to your thread after I'd started working on this
& the answer likely is a hardware repair; professional testing is worth the time
and you seem to have at least one other thread on the same topic....
Good luck & happy computing!

Yoga 13 Graphics driver problem -BSOD

I am having a problem getting this frequent "graphic driver stopped responding..." message and a "video_scheduler.." BSOD after that. Something like this:
Steps I did:
Did OKR. Clean driver. Lenovo driver. Windows update intel Driver. Latest Intel HD 4000 from their site. The BIOS version is upto date but I reinstalled again.NO luck. .I tried both Win 8 and 8.1 here. .. I tried all these possibilities..
Did clean windows install from a non-lenovo windows 8 image. Wiped SSD. Windows was fresh, clean and no bloatware. No Luck. Updatet to 8.1 .. did all possibilities again.. no luck.
I called Lenovo Tech. They remote to the laptop and what he did is uninstall all graphics driver and use windows generic driver. He stopped auto windows update (since windows updates the driver). There's no error, but the laptop performance is horribly slow. Scrolling long PDF and websites is wavy and the HDMI port is useless.
Lenovos solution is unacceptable. The laptop is bassically useless.
Are you guys experiencing the same thing too? Do you guys know a solution. I really like the laptop but it is unusable.
BTW, I bought this laptop ~3 weeks as scratch and dent at their lenovo website. I wonder if there is a hardware problem for this.
Also, the wifi sucks.. sigh

T520 with Optimus - Can't install Intel Graphics Driver in XP

Hello,
I have T520 with Optimus FHD screen.
I have XP installed in my Ultrabay HDD.
I understand that XP doesn't support Optimus and that I must go to BIOS and choose either Discrete or Integrated.
OPTION 1 (Discrete Only) Which someone what works:
- So, when I have Discrete enabled in BIOS - and installed Nvidia Drivers in XP - everything works fine, expcept on 90% initial boot ups after going from Win 7 to XP (F12 Options) - I assume the NVIDIA driver doesn't get initially recognised and the XP boots up in non native resolution.
- It's only after I restart again and use (F12 again) to pick Ultrabay with XP, the Nvidia gets properly loaded. But this time, there is a prolong delay (60 to 90 seconds) of black screen after the WIndows XP Welcome screen before the desktop appears.
OPTION 2 (Intgrated Display Only) - Of couse, this after uninstalling NVIDIA Graphic Driver in XP
- In BIOS, Integrated Graphic in choosen.
- XP boots up in basic resolution.
- I download (From Lenovo T520 Driver Page) - Intel Integrated Driver for Win XP 32.
- When I try to install it, it says "The computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
- BTW, I do have all the WIndows Updates including NET 3.0 and higher
- So then, I try to forcibly installed through Device Manager and Having DISK - but I get Error message.
- But somehow, it works after.
One guess I have and that confuses me is the Otimus Graphic Card - where maybe it can only work with either Optimus Drivers in Windows 7 or Nvidia Drivers in Windows XP. And that the Integrated Intel HD Graphic Drivers in for XP on Lenovo website are only meant for T520 with Intel Graphics ??!!
Or can optimus be used with intergrated intel drivers only in the XP?
If anyone can shed a small light, I would be grateful.
Thanks You
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Glad to know everything is working for you.
You shouldn't need the discrete to watch flash videos, the Intel integrated should be able to handle that on its own.
The nVidia card shouldn't be running at all when the machine is in integrated . In fact it doesn't even run in Optimus except when it is actively being used. nVidia proved this when it was first demoing the technology. nVidia removed the nVidia chip from the motherboard of an active system that was running in Optimus using only the integrated graphics, and the computer kept running without issue and the power consumption was the same with and without the chip on the board.
If you really wanted FireFox to always run with the nVidia card (again, I don't know why you would want this) you can change the settings in the nVidia control panel to force FireFox to run with discrete.

Multiple problems with new retina iMac. Suspect graphics driver

New retina IMac, top spec, with latest Yosemite, and additional Cinema Display attached. Having multiple problems which I suspect are being caused by the graphics driver:
The long running issue with Adobe PS whereby under certain size options the tools cursor disappears and just has the arrow cursor.
With no warning, after doing an action such as opening an application the system reverts immediately to the login screen and does not show me as logged in.
After switching users, a blank screen other than the cursor is shown. Seems I have to power off to get past this one.
Can anybody shed any light on any of these, at least so that I can discount my theory of a single culprit?

So I went onto the Adobe forums and found a number of threads on this subject. A staff member replied with the following:
It's a video card driver bug introduced in MacOS 10.10 (which looks a lot like an old bug they fixed in 10.9).
Apple is aware of this, and the other video driver issues in 10.10, and working on solutions.
So thanks to Adobe we now know.

Updating my Intel HD graphics driver...

Hello,
I'm attempting to update my graphics driver to hopefully achieve a slightly better gaming experiance. However I can't just get my drivers from the Intel Driver Update Utility because of it being a "Custom" driver, so I need assistance making sure the driver I install is the correct one...
Would anyone mind linking me to the Latest driver (If there is one..)?

Get your drivers from Toshiba India. They are here.

You'll find Toshiba seldom updates drivers when there are no bugs.
