T530 Windows 8, can't turn adaptive dimming off

I've gone thorugh these forums, but it seems none of the solutions work on my T530 regarding trying to disable the adaptive dimming off. I've set the Intel Graphics power features to "Plugged in" and "Maximum Performance" settings, then I have also Disabled the Adaptive Dimming in Windows 8 power settings (made even a new profile where I've put everything regarding brightness to maximum settings and disabled the adaptive dimming.). Nothing helps. When ever I switch a program with darker background, e.g. Spotify, the dimming happens, switching back and it will brighten the screen. It's is driving me totally mad.
Is this an issue with the Windows 8 drivers perhaps? Any ideas what to try next?

Never mind. It seemed that the new settings took effect only after a reboot.

T530, Windows 8/8.1 Multiple Screen Random Automatic and Frequest Discontect/Re-connect

I'm running 3 external monitors on a Lenovo T530 docked laptop. With Windows 7 on my previous lenovo T500 it was running perfectly. Since 'upgrading' (and I use the term loosely) my laptop and OS to Windows 8.1, at the most inopportune times, randomly and frequently throughout the work day, everyday, all the monitors will cut out, making the disconnected sound. They will briefly, maybe half a second consolidate all the open windows on the laptop that is docked with an illuminated screen, then go black and then all the monitors will turn back on, consolidating all the open windows on the one external monitor set as my default main monitor. Then I will continue working, moving all my windows back to where I want them, and it will randomly do it again, usually when I'm concentrating on something important. It's like it knows!
The same thing has happened with an external projector, though not with all projectors. Sometimes it works fine with projectors.
I have updated Windows, and all the graphics drivers and BIOS. And my business partner is having the exact same problem, with the exact same laptop and multiple monitor setup, so it's not isolated to my computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having this same issue with my T530. It just started a week or two back. Not trying to necropost but I didn't see an answer.

T530 windows 8.1 Intel graphics driver for Widi

A new graphics driver appears to be required when running Widi on the T530 after an upgrade to Windows 8.1. Intel provides a generic version 15.33.5.64.3316, but this will not load on the T530. It fails because it wants me to load a version from Lenovo. Lenovo does not appear to have released a new graphics driver for the Intel 4000 graphics processor yet. When will that be available?
Barry

You need to uninstall the existing intel driver using programs and features in control panel. After restarting, the generic driver should be able to install using the installer. I wouldn't force install via device manger as when I did that it left components of the old driver around and caused system hanging.

Loosing T530 AC (Access Connections) + PM (Power Manager) Icons after Sysprep

Lenovo T530 (Windows 7, x64 SP1) Sysprep OOTB generalized
After the Sysprep, the system looses the Icons from the Access Connections (Version 5.85) and the Power Manager (Version 6.32) in the Taskbar. I can get them back, if i'll do a right click at the task bar and choose the AC and PM manually.
Is there a possibility that the symbols retained after the sysprep?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Probably because the tools aren't added to the taskbar in "Default" user. Did you added the tools to the taskbar in Audit mode?
Though sysprep will not keep some settings. You may need to use `unattended.xml` to configure scripts to add those tools to the taskbar.
Just another question: does the PM tool appears in its factory state?

Rescue and Recovery 4.5. Rescue media can't boot from FAT32 64GB flash drive.

T530 Windows 7. I did a full (base) backup to a 64GB USB flash drive formatted FAT32. R&R started by indicating “Rescue and Recovery Medium being created” and after a few hours finished the backup. When I click on ‘View all backups’ I can see the backup created. I then tested the flash drive to see if it’s bootable but the screen only shows rapidly moving white font gibberish over black background. I did the same as a test on a 8GB USB flash drive formatted NTFS (I had to stop the backup since 8GB was not enough space) but had no trouble booting from it. Both flash drives have the folders: boot, efi, Preboot, RRbackups, tvtos and files: bootmgr, bootmgr.efi, fcopy.ini. In other words, the only difference seems to be that it works with 8GB NTFS but not with 64GB FAT32. Is that the issue or just coincidence?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The readme file for RNR 4.5.1 states:
Consideration 7
Unable to boot from a 64 GB USB memory key
When you create rescue media on a 64 GB USB memory key and then boot your computer from the memory
key, an error message is displayed, saying, ?¡ãError loading Operating System.?¡À
To solve the problem, change the 64 GB USB memory key to one with less storage capacity.
===
The question is.. is your Flash USB a memory key?
I would reformat the 64GB to NTFS, then run the Create Rescue Media option onto it. Then try to boot the USB.
There is another post out here stating on certain USB sticks, you have to PREFORMAT it, using diskpart command, before using the Create Rescue Media option..

Nitro (Nalperion Service) patch - 7/8 [32,64]

My T530 Windows 7 arrived with Nitro trial software, which I uninstalled from the Control Panel. Now Lenovo System Update shows critical update Nitro (Nalperion Service) patch - 7/8 [32,64]. Details: version 6.3.9.1, No previous version installed. I tried to install it but it downloaded and couldn't install and prompted my for a manual install. I checked Services and I have Nalpeiron Licensing Services (yes it shows misspelled). Should I do the manual install or should I ignore the update and click 'Do not show this update'?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Nitro is a .pdf related program... it includes a .pdf FILE CREATOR, making it much more than simply a .pdf "reader". For example, when I go to "print" a file, one of the "printers" installed on my PC is NITRO PDF CREATOR... and by "printing" there, it generates a .pdf file (on disk) rather than sending the file to a "real" printer. That file is saved... and can then be viewed with any .pdf reader program (Adobe, FoxIt, Sumatra), can be e-mailed or otherwise transferred to friends and/or colleagues, and of course, hard-copy printed whenever desired.

Hi, I had this problem (igfxext.exe error) after installing the Thinkpad Power Manager. It went away when I uninstalled it. I updated drivers and programs using the Thinkpad System Update and then tried installing Thinkpad Power Manager, but the igfxext.exe error showed again. I guess there is something wrong with the program. If that's your case you should try uninstalling it. I have a Thinkpad T530, Windows 7.

Computer programs blink problem

I have a Thinkpad T530 (Window 8 OS, i7-3720), since I bought the computer, the programs (such as browsing internet or a folder, running MS office etc.) blink all the time. This didn't bother me so much, but recently it makes me hard to type or capture any manual on the start-bar.
I am wondering what causes the problem and any solution.

Power Manager claims "Battery not installed"

System info: T530, Windows 7 SP1, Power Manger 6.36, Power Managment driver 1.66
Following a suggestion in another thread (to solve a Power Manager/Windows Explorer crash), I upgraded to Power Manager 6.36/driver 1.66. Now Power Manager claims (via taskbar icon and within the Power Manager app itself) "Battery not installed"
Solution, please.

I'll try the download but I have a couple of concerns. First, I upgraded to 6.32 in order to try and resolve another problem - Power Manager crashed when I tried execute a Windows Explorer "search"; it subsequently caused Windows Explorer to crash. I'm not eager to just trade one problem for another. Second, I need you to pass a message back up the management chain.
As a customer, it frustrates me immensely to have to try test-and-debug procedures which ought to be done by Lenovo QA personnel. I would feel a bit more positive if I could be certain that Lenovo QA had configured a machine like mine and tried to reproduce the problem themselves. It's bad enough that I'm spending hours - of "vacation", time, no less - to try and resolve Lenovo product defects, but worse, I'm not getting paid for it. (And yes, I do happen to know what qualified senior QA engineers get paid.)

How to Install Windows 8 RTM on a T530 - special tips for NVS5400

Windows 8 RTM may be a finished product, but getting all devices to work on a laptop can be difficult. I hope that this advice saves time for anyone who wishes to try out Windows 8 on a new Thinkpad. Needless to say, what worked for me may not work in your situation, and I recommend staying with Windows 7 if reliability and productivity are your main concerns. Remember that you will need to reinstall Windows 8 when it is officially released, because there is no upgrade path from the Enterprise RTM preview.
1. Image your working installation with Acronis TrueImage or similar tools. These instructions are for a clean install.
2. Before logging off for the last time, be sure that the Wifi and Bluetooth are enabled. If Bluetooth is switched off, Windows 8 will not be able to see it.
3. If you are using Windows 8 64 bit, I recommend switching the BIOS to UEFI only. This seems to make everything easier. UEFI doesn't recognize NTFS, so you must format a USB drive with FAT32 and then simply copy the contents of the Windows 8 ISO over to the USB. For Windows 8 32 bit, leave the legacy boot compatibility enabled.
4. Install from the DVD or USB key. If you are using UEFI, you will have to delete all existing partitions and install on the unallocated space. UEFI requires a GPT partition, which it will create automatically.
Drivers -- the difficult part
Set a system restore point now and another one before installing any new video drivers.
I first installed the Windows 7 Intel chipset driver update. I am not sure this is necessary, but it updates the SATA and USB3 drivers.
I installed the Lenovo power management driver from the Lenovo Windows 8 driver page, and then installed the Power Manager App from the T530 page. It will occasionally crash when opened, but will work well enough to change settings. I also installed the Windows 7 hotkey application, which works in Win8. Likewise, the Windows 7 audio drivers work.
If the Windows 7 Ricoh driver for your laptop doesn't load, try the Windows 8 beta version. One works, the other refuses to load. I'm afraid I don't remember which is which.
I installed the Intel Management adapter 8.1 from the Windows 8 beta page, and it loaded with no problems.
If you don't have a NVS5400, then you should be done. If you do, then you must NOT install the Windows 7 video drivers. They will cause an endless loop on boot. Update the Intel video driver manually if you wish (via device manager). You can run the Win7 driver program, let it extract the contents, and then cancel before it starts the setup program. I am using 9.17.10.2768 for the Intel HD 4000.
I went to the Nvidia site to get the latest Win8 beta NVS5400 (mobile) driver. Choose the ODE version. I am using version 304.79. I installed this (leaving out 3D, which I don't use) and it seems to work perfectly. Photoshop CS5 recognizes it as a valid OpenGL device.

It depends on your uses. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321 Windows 8 works properly in Boot Camp, always that your iMac is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can only use the 64-bit Windows 8 edition.
Respecting to your processor, you may want to contact with Apple, as they may have sent you the iMac with a wrong processor

Error message installing WIndows 32bit on T530

I have a T530 laptop that I am trying to install WIndows 7 32-bit version from an ISO but I get the following error message right after I click the "Install" button during setup.
"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now."
I can not get past this to perform the install. I have checked several forums and some stated to make sure the CD/DVD rom was placed first in your startup devices (check), pull drivers from lenovo website and try to point the set up to the device drivers (check), try to redownload the ISO file (check), make sure you have your SATA settings to AHCI (check), try using a USB-DVD ROM (check). Has anyone else seen or have been able to resolve this issue?
SIde note: I have tried install Windows 7 64-bit edition and it installed fine on the same machine.

Hi ncook6, welcome to the forum,
Do I read your post correctly that you are trying to install from an USB drive?
If so have you inserted the USB drive in an USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port? When installing from USB you must use a USB 2.0 port; Win 7 doesn't have the USB 3.0 drivers, but it does have them for 2.0.

Windows 8 jumpy mouse on T530 when docked

I am having a problem with my T530 and Windows 8 Enterprise. The mouse gets very jerky and jumpy when the cursor changes...i.e. if I move it across a text box and the mouse icon changes from the arrow to a cursor. The strange thing is this only happens when docked. If I undock the laptop, I have no problems.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any ideas?? I have tried updating drivers but nothing has worked.

Dear _g_g_ ,
Thank You For Contacting Lenovo.
Would you please send us a screen shot for the Mouse driver on the Device manager page.
Waiting for your kind reply.

Windows 8.1 - T530 - Base Device Driver missing!

Hi guys,
Been working to solve this base device driver missing in my T530 image since couple of hours now. I've searched a lot and seen many threads talking about this problem. Tried every solution I ran into but nothing worked so far.
PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_E822
Form what I know, this should be a Ricoh Media Card Reader driver. I think I tried like 10 drivers from Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, 32 bits and 64 bits and nothing worked so far. Tried Smart Card reader driver too.
All Windows Update are installed at the moment.
Any clue to help me?
Best regards
Solved!

I don't know what is the Have Disk...!
Yesterday... we managed to install the driver using the Ricoh Media Card Reader Driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit, 64-bit) 25 mars 2014. I could swear I had tried them all... So I took the extracted files and added them to the imaging thingy and it doesn't work anymore!
I did Windows Update on the T530. I did try to manually and auto install using the same driver but it won't work anymore
Any clue?
