T420 Game Issue

I have a T420 with the NVIDIA graphics card, Intel core i5 and 8 gig of ram. I was trying to play the game Scourge of War Gettysburg (http://www.scourgeofwar.com/index.shtml) but it will not open. All the further I can get is a screen that says initializing, then it stops on this screen. Nothing else happens until I close it using the task manager. The image doesn’t move or change. The only clues I have are the mouse does not work on the screen and an error message I found using game booster:

I've tried various compatibility modes, running as admin and multiple downloads/installs. All my drivers are up to date... and i'm outta ideas. The forums for the game have not yet yielded any help, so any help or suggestions here would be much appreiated.

Set in Nvidia control panel to use only Nvidia when running the application?

I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

I am having a game issue, and I am trying to diagnose it...

I am having a problem with the demo for Empires: Dawn of the Modern world.
The game hasn't been released yet, but the demo is available, and I am having a severe problem with it, but I'm not sure what is causing it.
My problem is that the game crashes constantly. I'm playing a game just fine and all of a sudden the game crashes to the desktop. I am the only person I know that has this issue, so I am trying to find people with the same issue.
My specs:
AMD Athlon XP 2000+
KT3 Ultra2
512 MB DDR
15 GB HD
Win 98 SE
Radeon 9600 128 MB non-pro.
I am trying to figure out if the issue is:
A: Motherboard/Graphics card issue
B: Motherboard/Graphics card/OS issue
I was wondering if a person with either
A: Windows 98 SE and a KT3 Ultra 2 motherboard, and a Radeon 9600 pro or nonpro graphics card
B: Win XP with same Mobo & Graphics
could please download the Multiplayer or Singleplayer demo. You can get either one at http://www.empiresrts.com/media/
Both are 250+ MB, quite huge, I know, I had to download the Multiplayer demo twice because of corrupted files, and I have a 56k modem :P.
Once d/led and installed, if you are having problems getting the game to load (either the game or a scenario/multiplayer map), close RunDLL, it causes that problem on my computer. In game, if the problem isn't with my computer, the game will crash to the desktop randomly.
I would like to know if anyone with Win98 has this problem, and if so, I would like to know if anyone with WinXP has this issue as well. I know this is a somewhat different request for tech support, but I hope someone can help me
Thank you,
ET

I've had problems with other 3d games, but this the only one that really matters to me.

Pehaps it still have corrupted files.
I finally broke down and ordered a CD version, same thing as the download, but I don't have to tie up the phone line or risk more corruption.

T420s Optimus Issues

Greetings,
I have a T420s that is an Optimus capable model. I am trying to achieve a 3 monitor set up and I have the correct docking station (the plus model), however, my optimus does not work properly, I have a monitor hooked up to almost every port in hopes of detecting them (2 DVI, 1 VGA, 1 Display port):
1) In Optimus Graphics Mode (Via the BIOS), when I log in to Windows, I can open up Device manager and watch the NVS 4200M drop off of the device manager and either give a generic graphics card name and indicate there is an issue with it or not appear at all
A) The NVIDIA Control panel will not load as it indicates I do not have an NVIDIA GPU installed
B) No NVIDIA Context menus are available
2) In Discrete Graphics Mode (Via the BIOS), the Intel GPU does not appear in device manager, however the NVIDIA GPU Works fine
A) NVIDIA Optimus Graphics settings do not appear under "Manage 3D Settings" on the NVIDIA control panel
B) I do not have a "View" menu on NVIDIA control panel from which I can check the feature to add GPU selection to the
right click context menu when dealing with applications
C) I somewhat expect this to be the behavior using Discrete Graphics mode
3) In integrated graphics mode (via the bios), the NVIDIA GPU does not appear under device manager, however the Intel GPU works fine.
A) I assume this is the correct behavior
NVIDIA Details:
NVS 4200M
NVIDIA Control Panel Version : 4.3.980.0
NVIDIA Driver: 276.58
Intel Details:
HD3000
I've reinstalled all GPU related drivers for both cards, and reinstalled using the generic package that lenovo provides. This has not corrected the issue. I used the ones dated April 2012, from this site.
I've reinstalled everything again, attempted to install the drivers directly from NVIDIA and it states I must install an Intel driver first before allowing me to proceed
Any ideas?

I don't think its in the list it may be somewhere else. Only current ones are listed usually. Go to the support website and see what is listed for your machine type and build number.
You may have to call support but why did the OEM image get replaced if there wasn't a customized tested image made for it. Clearly if you need this driver as well you're just starting with collection of likely issues that they may not be able to resolve. Support may say to put the image back on and then call if you have problems.
Not knowing what was done requires hands on by a seasoned tech who may be able to resolve it in time. There are machine specific which need to addressed and without them installed and the lenovo tools and Thinkvantage installed you could be in for long weekend working on it.
Good luck.

A7000 data on/off issue after daily reboot and Asphalt 8 game issue

I'm experiencing a wierd problem.. unable to ON the mobile data after reboot. I scheduled a daily reboot in the mid night. In the morning when I try to ON the mobile data, it won't take the signal. I have to enable aeroplane mode and have to disable it. Then only I will get the mobile data ON. I do have another problem while playing Alphalt 8 game especially. Phone freezes at a moment while in the middle of the race, and I have to remove the battery to get phone in to normal state. Anybody is experiencing the same issue? Please help me to rectify these issues.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Game issues

Obviously this is not as serious as issues involving apps need for work, but since installing SL and upgrading to 10.6.1 I have had issues on a few online game sites -- certain things not showing up on the screen although the actions are still happening. (For example, in Facebook's Farmville game I can do everything but information bubbles don't appear. In one word search game I can circle the answers, but they don't show up in the solved word list.) All of these work fine when I play on my netbook running Linux, so I know it's not the sites having issues.
Clearly not a critical issue -- all the important third party apps I need for work are runing fine -- but definitely an annoyance! Any ideas will be welcome!

I have the same problem. I installed Snow Leopard yesterday. It affects both Firefox and Safari. Much of the text is missing and there are lines under each of the player avatars that move with them, so if you are in a room together it really messes up the whole thing. It makes it impossible to play. I'm not a game player by nature, but I'd really like my one simple pleasure of playing FarmTown on Facebook. I've spent hours trying to fix it, using advice from some of the seemingly related questions on this forum, but nothing works. I'm hesitant to continue as I am no computer expert. Any advice would be most welcome.

T420: Network Issues

I installed a new hard drive today in my lenovo T420. I installed Windows 7 ultimate, but it won't recognize the internal network card. I can't find the driver anywhere, and when I try to download any kind of driver that I think would help, When i hit f5, it responds with "no network adapter found" and it also doesn't show up under computer management. I'm using a USB adapter right now, but I would like the internal card to work. Also, when I tried to install the bluetooth adapter driver, it told me that the installation couldn't complete because there was no supportable hardware. I really need help on this!
I am very tech savvy, I built my own PC and run a technology repair company, but I typically don't work with software, mainly hardware. I still know my way around, so don't be afraid to get technical when helping and don't use the cliche "have you tried turning it off and back on" answer please
Thanks again!
Moderator note: corrected subject line. Was: Z585 Network Issues

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that network adapter is not getting detected in your Lenovo ThinkPad T420.
Check in BIOS -> Security -> I/O port access if network adapter is enabled.
Hope this helps!

use the above software to do a test on the keyboard to determine whether it is hardware or software issue.
Unfortunately the support line is open only between 8 to 5 weekday, there is no afterhour or weekend support.

T420 Build Issues

My T420 (4177 CTO) is still under factory warrenty, so it is less than a year old. There are two build issues that I have so far ignored, but I am wondering if they are "normal."
The laptop does not rest level on a flat surface. Three of the rubber grips on the underside touch the surface, but the front, left grip is so far off the surface that you can slide a piece of paper under it without resistence. When I rest my left hand on the palmrest, the chassis audibly "creaks" and visibly moves as the rubber grip comes to rest on the surface.
Just recently permanent friction marks have appeared on the left half of my screen, clearly caused by months of rubbing against the keyboard. I have tried cleaning them per Lenovo's instructions, to no avail.
I am beginning to think that the chassis is deformed, and that it has been this way since I received the machine. Both issues have been present since the start, but the marks on the screen could be easily wiped off until recently.
Are these issues "normal," or am I suffering from a defective machine?
Thanks for your opinion or any information!

My T420 has spent its life in a backpack, as did the T400 and T61 before it. I've never noticed this kind of problem.
Have you taken a careful look at the sides of the laptop to verify that the keyboard bezel and bottom plastic are snapped together correctly? Any gaps or bulges?

T420s wireless issue

hello,
I've jus bought a new thinkpad t420s. it was working fine the first week, but now I have discovered a problem.
the internet speed is very slow, when I'm connected with the wireless adapter. My machine has a Intel(R) WiFi Link 1000 BGN.
I really don't know where this problem comes from. I have not changed any settings. The only thing I have done is to update my operating system Windows 7 professional.
maybe someone has the same problem and knows an answer.
best regards.

I manage a network in a small office and have a similar issue. Here are the details:
We have several users with Lenovo T420 laptops who can connect to the 802.11G wireless access points in the office and obtain full access to the ISP connection bandwidth, which is approximately 10 MBPS download speed.
Several additional users have Lenovo T20s laptops, and they can also connect to the same 802.11G wireless access point, but only get about 1 MBPS download. They can connect to a different access point that is a dual-band 802/11 G/N and get the full bandwidth.
Based on the above information I am thinking it is a setting/issue within the T420s laptops.

T420 - Audio Issue, Inconsistent Audio Volume

Dear all,
recently I have been encountering an audio issue with my T420. Regardless of whether I use the integrated speakers or an external playback device via the audio plug, audio volume goes up and down several times within a minute.
It's rather annoying and irritating. I am using the standard driver supplied by Lenovo and with stock settings.
Did anyone encounter this problem and might provide me with some advice?
Thanks a lot!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The setting was already at disabled.
I thought, this might be the problem I was experience, as it was only when I used Ethernet rather than WiFi: DPC latency + audio/mouse skip and stutter on t420... - Lenovo Community
I tried the proposed settings, to no avail.
Interestingly, re-installing the same drivers that were installed previously seems to have resolved the problem.
Maybe some settings or the install were messed up.

I think that LV can support some hardware which is not NI's, namely ,not all of test station needs NI's hardware products that can achieve only .
for example, series hardwer.TCP/IP or UDP communication technology ...and we ssue some hardware which can generate High frequency signal, control servo and stepper motor,and some sensors. and this hardware are design by us.
we issue the hardware driver with C langue. but we use LV control our hardware to take the action responding. test our station's every parameters. LV is very good. and we call our system that is High performance motion controller.

T420 Touchpad issue

Hiya all,
I am new to this forum, so please be kind!
I have a brand new T420 issued by my company. I am liking all of it's features as I get to know it.
One issue I have got is that as I am typing, I touch the Touchpad often and hence the words get typed at different points!
A simple baffling question - how do I disable my touchpad. If I hit Fn + F8, I only have the following options:
Buttons, Pointers, Pointer Options, Wheel & Hardware in the 5 tabs. I am unable to diable the touchpad from any of the options.
I went to Control Panel and used the Mouse option, it gives me exactly the same screen as Fn+F8. So no use again
Kindly please help.... thanks,

you did not install the ultranav driver to get the Ultranav pop up window that allows you to switch between trackpoint and trackpad.
