T440s clean windows 7 install - touchpad crash

Hi,
I just got a new T440s. I was very happy until I tried to do a clean windows 7 install. Everythings seems to work fine, except for the touchpad. As soon as I install the synaptics driver (i've tried from the lenovo site, the synaptics site, and from the previous installation's file), the synaptics enhancments program crashes, and I no longer have guestures working (specifically scroll). It crashes again if I try to run it manually. When I reboot, it also crashes on startup. I've tried reinstalling the driver and even reinstalling windows once more, but to no avail.
Can anyone help? I'm going nuts...
Thanks!

I am also looking to install a clean version of Windows 7. It seems some of the pre-installed software creates a "latency" issue for me and the software I use for djin.Since alot of the software in the background is checking for new drivers and monitoring my hdd.
I just want a stable laptop without all the fluff.

Which APP is most appropriate to be used immediately after a fresh clean Windows install?

Hi,
The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
Notebook PC support
The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
I know to install the required drivers for my notebook computer, I will need to use the HP Recovery Manager; which will install the original software and hardware drivers that first came with my notebook. To do this, please follow this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7), as well as (Windows 8 and 8.1).
To update the drivers on my computer to the latest software, I recommend following this document on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7) as well as (Windows 8 and 8.1).
However,
First: my primary goal is to know which HP tool is most appropriate for locating, obtaining, and installing all appropriate drivers, updates, etc. immediately after a clean new Windows 7 or 8.1 installation.
I know that HP support assistant helps to download the updates for existing sotware, and drivers. However, if I made a fresh installation of widows, there wouldn't be existing drivers or software, then Which one is most appropriate to be used immediately after a fresh new clean Windows install?? -- to determine, retrieve, and install all the appropriate drivers??
Second: How to save/transfer/export/move the Drivers and Application built-in HP Recovery Manager onto a HDD Or a disc(DVD/CD). So, in case I have delted the HP Recovery Manager, and installed a new Windows 7 installation, then I would be using these Drivers and Applications saved on a HDD or Disc to retrieve, and install all the appropriate dirvers and applications?
Finally: All rivers and Application built-in HP Recovery Manager are saved as NON-SoftPaq on a folder called SwSetup. So could I download all rivers and Application built-in HP Recovery Manager as a SoftPaq.

Y40 GPU not working after clean windows install.

I did a clean Windows install since I got a new HDD and I can not get the switchable GPU working again. I have the latest intel and amd drivers from Lenovo installed and both show up under dxdiag. When I try to access switchable graphics settings all I get is a blank page. The game I am playing shows what gpu is being used and it is Intel.
If anyone has any ideas that would be great!
Thank you!

How can i make the volume controller on a pavillion dv4 work after a clean windows install?

Hello!
Recently I performed a clean windows 7 install from a windows install disk I previously owned, the problem is that this disk didn't intalled the drivers and programs specific for this computer. What I want to know is which driver or program I need to install to make the volume controller on my computer to work again? The problem is that the volume bar that previously appeared on the screen and the "bing" sound indicating the volume level doesn't appear or sound now.
All other things seem to work fine, this is the only problem so far.
Thanks!

I had to do a clean windows install. im missing drivers

So I had lost my recovery partition, burnt the 4 recovery cds from my ex's laptop, and ordered the system recovery dvds from hp. Nothing worked so I had to do a clean windows 7 install. Now I dont have any of the drivers thay came with my computer such as my wireless network. How can I find out what drivers I need to where do I down load them so I can manually get my computer back to the state it was when I bought it?
This question was solved.

Clean windows install - losing any software?

I'm going to do a clean install as I upgrade from Vista 32-bit (ack!) to Windows 7 64-bit. Am I going to lose anything I won't be able to get via System Update? Anything that shipped with my Thinkpad I should care about? Like Roxio?
Will the install process allow me to take care of the service partition? Or do I need to handle this manually?
I've grabbed the most essential drivers and will let system update handle the rest. Anything else I should do before I start?
Thanks for the advice!

Hello,
If you have not done so, you should make a set of recovery discs for the Microsoft Windows Vista installation on your ThinkPad. That way, if you ever do have a problem and need to revert to the original operating system you shall be able to do so, with all of the ThinkVantage utilities and Lenovo supplied software intact.
As AndyP noted, some of the software supplied with your ThinkPad is not available for download using the ThinkVantage System Update program, such as DVD viewing software. After reinstalling it from wherever you backed up the C:\SWTOOLS directory, you should be able to update it as you would any other Lenovo-supplied software through the ThinkVantage System Update program, though.
My personal preference is to run the the ThinkVantage System Update program before running Microsoft Windows Update on a newly-configured ThinkPad as a precaution against the Microsoft update service installing the wrong drivers, but I cannot say that I have had that problem with any recent computer or version of Microsoft Windows.

hi mhmohamadi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The BIOS is pre set to load on UEFI Settings and you will need to change it first.
Open th BIOS Menu by tapping the F1 Key when you turn it on.
Once youre in BIOS you will need to change these settings
1. Under Exit TAB
Look for r OS optimized defaults - Change the settings to Disabled
2. Under security TAB
Look for Secure Boot and set it to Disabled
3. Under Start up TAB
CSM -- This option to what ever will enable the options Boot mode and Boot priority because these are Grayed out
Once CSM is changed these option will be available
Boot Mode set to Legacy
Boot Priority set to Legacy First
Now BIOS is set, HIT F10 to Save and Exit
Unfortunately There are no driver package, you will have to download each of the drivers on this list

Clean Windows Install Help

Hi, I really could use some help. My thinkvantage software got buggy and wasn't functioning, even after resotring the computer to factory clean. I erased everything, including the system partition, and started an XP install on a clean partition. I followed the instructions on the Lenovo website, but I didn't back up my IBM Tools folder. So I am stuck. I need help getting from a clean install to a working computer. I have a second computer that I am using to access the internet. Here's what I think would help:
1. A list of the drivers I should download to get my system back up. Is there a specific one that would start an entire system update?
2. Is there a location where I can download that IBM Tools folder?
I'm not sure what else I can tell you. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

chez17, welcome to the forum,
Start with ThinkVantage System Update, if it misses something you can go to the Driver Site for your ThinkPad.
Happy installing

Windows instal after crash

Hi:
I downloaded a virus and it lead to a massive crash.
I took the notebook to a computer store and they recovered the system. However, they used some type of temporary Windows version and the computer is now telling me that windows will restart every two hours.
How can I reinstall the original version of Windows that came with the computer when I bought it? I wasn't given any CDs.
Is there any other solution?
Please help.
Ben.
It is a HP 15-p067ca TOUCH NOTEBOOK.

Hi:
See if you can order a set of recovery disks from HP for your model.
Click on the link below and then click on the line labeled Order Recovery Media.
http://h22207.www2.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-15-p000-notebook-pc-series/6936226/m...
If you live in Canada (usually a notebook with a 'ca' suffix means the model is sold in Canada), you may not be able to order the disks online. In the past, Canadian customers stated that they needed a US address to order online.
Call this number and see if you can order by phone, if you can't order online.

[Solved] U430 Clean Windows Install

So I've got my Ideapad u430 touch yesterday, and wanted to install an SSD and upgrade the ram instantly, so I did.
Because I had to replace the HDD, I also had to reinstall windows. I got a hold of a windows 8 retail image, made sure it's not been tampered with and installed it on the ultrabook using a generic key.
After I completed the installation, I uninstalled the generic key and tried installing the OEM key that's embedded in the BIOS by reading it through RW Everything utility. So I've got the OEM key, typed 'slui 3' in admin cmd, and now it tells me that it couldn't verify the key.
http://superuser.com/a/710346 - This is the guide I used.
So my question is how do I activate windows 8 with the OEM key that is on my ultrabook.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is resolved.
What I actually needed was a Windows 8.1 OEM image since that's what the laptop shipped with. After I made sure my USB Flash Drive that contains the install is UEFI bootable, I proceeded with the installation and the product key was detected automatically.

Lost Linksys password after new windows install

I have had my Linksys E4200 for a few years now. When I'm home my cell phone and laptop both use my wireless connection. My desktop computer had the main Cisco console which provided the passwords to both my cell and laptop.
My problem is I recently had a virus attack to my desktop from clicking on a bad email link. I couldn't remove the virus so I did a clean windows install. I can't find my Linksys router box but I found my CD disc. The disc is asking for my password which is probably somewhere in my original box (which of course I can't find now). My router has the model number and mac address but I don't know how to reinstall my console without my original password.
I never disconnected my router when I did my new windows install on my desktop, and my computer still recognizes my Linksys router. When I click on the device icon it says, "network connected", Catagory: wireless network router, Manufacturer: Cisco, Model: Internet Access Server. Is there enough information so I can recover my password and install my console again? Thanks...
Solved!

Hello DuMartin,
It is asking for the password you set up for your network. If that will not work, then it would be best to reset and configure the router again.

Yoga 2 Pro : BIOS Update on a clean Windows 8.1 Pro install

Hi,
I recently bought the Yoga 2 Pro. Like everybody I have the yellow problem.
After buying it, I reinstalled my computer with a fresh Windows 8.1 pro install.
I was wondering if anybody has already tried updating the BIOS on a clean Windows 8.1 install ?
And also if there is any reported bug with the BIOS update.
I already crashed a while back one of my previous computer and I would prefer if this don't append again
Thanks,
Best,

Not, i'm speaking about the BIOS update. The windows 8.1 pro installation was fine.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

Trying to install SAP Business One 8.8 on a clean Windows 7 professional pc

Hi, i am trying to install SAP Business One V 8.8 on a clean Windows 7 professional laptop. I need to install the server and client sides. I have already installed SQL server express 2005.
When i try to to install the server software I get the error message 1628 installation failed almost straight away. I ket the same message if I try and install the server tools, SBo server or outlook integration.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Simon

Hi Simon,
Solution to Problem ID :1618
Try the following Steps :
1. Clear the 'Temporary' Folder of Windows 7 : Start ->Run->%temp%->Press 'Enter'->Select All & Delete
2. Restart your machine. (This is Must)
Actually it keeps an image of the previous installations, so always for re-installation you need to perform this steps.
Same is with Win 2008 Server editions also.
Now proceed with the installation and remember always run SBO installations in Windows 7 and 2008 Server by clicking on 'Run as Administrator'
Hope your problem would be solved.
Regards,
Saikat Roy

Windows 8.1 crashes when connecting to lenovo ultra dock 135w (Ubuntu also installed)

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T440s. It's partitioned with Ubuntu 14.04.1 lts and Windows 8.1. When I connect it to my ultra dock 135 w in Windows 8.1 the ThinkPad crashes with a blue screen. The error thrown is igdkmd64.sys and system_service_exception.
This problem only occurs in Windows. I can boot Ubuntu without errors, but not Windows. Also if I boot to Windows without connecting to the dock, but then connect to the dock when I'm logged into Windows it also crashes immediately.
I'm using two monitors, one with hdmi and another with dvi. I'v also tried with just the hdmi and the dvi.
I have checked the forums and I've followed all the steps found in this thread http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T440s-Ultra-Dock-2-external-monitors-causin...
This has not solved the problem. Is there a solution to the problem I'm experiencing or does the ultra dock simply not work when you're dual booting Ubuntu and Windows?

We have been having this issue continuously as well. Have been contacting Lenovo support to no avail. Drivers / firmware are up to date, and we have 40+ users experiencing this issue. DiplayLink drivers also up to date.
