T61 wi-fi adapter driver

My T61 adapater is the Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG; the driver is Version 11.1.1.11 [probably the same driver as the day when I bought it]. I recently got a ThinkVantage message saying that it couldn't connect to a wireless network and that I "may need to configure your system to support the authentication method that is in use." The network uses WPA2 and I noticed in the ThinkVantage wireless profile settings that WPA2 is not one of the options in "wireless security type." I saw a previous poster faced a similar problem but didn't quite understand how they resolved it. Would it make sense for me to update the driver for the 3945ABG? To any particular version? Would doing so enable the use of WPA2? Any help would be much appreciated. PS - The T61 runs on Windows XP professional; SP3.

My experience has been, that as long as i
use a windows account with administrator privileges for installing drivers and utilities,
turn off virus protection and terminate all other programs before installing,
wait until the hard disk is idle again after installation and before re-starting the computer, and
after re-boot, wait until the hard disk is idle again before turning on virus protection,
updating drivers usually doesn't lead to any problems. Waiting for the hard disk to get idle again can take a long time, a very long time...
Personally, i would probably not use System Update to flash BIOS and update drivers at the same time. It might well be that System Update is smart enough to perform these two task simultaneously, i just don't know, and i will probably not try it.

If you're sure that you have a Broadcom BCM57xx
device installed in the machine, then you should have a look at
"prtconf -pv" output, locate the Ethernet device, and check the
"vendor-id" / "device-id" property for the NIC.
If the Broadcom device is compatible with Sun's "bge" driver, you
can try to install an addition driver binding entry for your device,
using the update_drv(1M) command
update_drv -a -i '"pciVVVV,DDDD"' bge(where VVVV and DDDD is the pci vendor / device id found in
prtconf -pv output).

Vga standard graphics adapter driver update

Hi does anyone know where I can find an updated VGA standard graphic adapter driver.? or what make it is?My young one is trying to play Roblox but keeps getting a message that the driver needs to be updated.Also if it is possible to install an other graphics card.

Hi,
You need to be running DirectX 9 at a minimum and it's not on your PC per PC image that you posted. You can try installing Directx but I suspect that you might need a video card. If you need a video card, then it's an older AGP style, 1.5v card that would be rated for Directx 9 and would work with the power supply size in your PC.
Good luck!

I got internal error 2738 after trying to install the marvell yucon ethernet adapter driver

I got the marvell yucon ethernet adapter driver on the acer support page. My laptop is an extensa 5420-5038 with vista sp2 32 bit. My wired lan is not working but the wireless is. The version of the acer driver is 10.12.8.3 if that would help. I think uninstalling the old software for the adapter must have failed during installation and I don't know what to do. I don't know how to find any old applications or machine language software for the adapter in the computer to uninstall before trying again if that is what I have to do. Do I have to go to the command prompt and do something?

Boot Camp Network Adapter Driver

I boot camped my mac successfully but couldn't download Apple's Support software(Not big enough flash drive). I thought I was fine but it turns out I need a Network Adapter Driver. Is my only solution getting a bigger Flash drive?
Or is there a place where I can get it seperatly as that is all I need I believe.
Thanks in advance.

I just bootcamped mine to windows 8 last night. It ran OK apart from the missing network adapter issue which I then re-ran bootcamp assistant with only the "download the latest Windows support software from Apple" checkbox ticked and saved it to a USB. The bootcamp files it added to the USB were in a folder that was only 512MB. Started up bootcamp Windows. ran the setup.exe from the USB and it fixed the network adapter issue no problems.

Conexant audio update broke wireless adapter driver

Installed the recommended driver update for conexant audio (windows 7). Immediately upon restart the wireless network adapter card stopped functioning. No other updates or changes were made, and this was a direct result of this driver breaking the other driver. Could not get the wireless adapter driver to fix, had to do a system restore because even uninstalling the conexant driver did not fix the wireless driver.
Bad update!

Boot T61 from T41 hard drive

I have a T41 (running XP Pro SP2) and a T61 (running XP Pro SP3). Both have the security solution that shipped with the new machine enabled. Would there be any problem booting the T61 from the T41's hard drive?* Or booting the T41 from the T61's hard drive?* One concern I have is that the security solution will detect the mismatch between the drive and the machine and will lock me out, "thinking" that either drive or machine is stolen. Would this be a problem? Is there anything else I need to know to make this work? Yes, there is such a thing as a stupid question, and this may be one. Thanks for any guidance.
*In case you want to know why, the T41's monitor died so I can't travel with it (it is connected to an external monitor on my desk.). I need to travel with the the T41's data and programs. My wife uses the T61, but it doesn't have the software I need and mine doesn't have the the software she uses. The easiest solution would be to swap machines but keep our own hard drives.

T41 uses a PATA hdd, and T61 uses a SATA hdd. If you need to run a pata hdd from T61 you would need a PATA capable ultrabay hdd adapter.
I am not sure how the security solution going to react to such a big change in hardware between the T41 to T61.

T61 problem. Display driver igfx has stopped responding and has successfully recovered + BSOD

T61 with Vista Business and intel GM965 video chips.
When playing World of Warcraft the game freezes periodically, the screen goes black and then, usually, it will get back to normal with the message about the display driver having stopped and recovered. Occasionally though it locks up and I get the BSOD and a reboot.
I tried using the latest drivers from Lenovo but it doesn't fix it. I tried uninstalling them and installed the Intel latest drivers as they were a newer release. Again, does not improve anything so I went back to the Lenovo ones for the time being.
I've set the game to the lowest spec video setting possible with lowest resolution possible etc but nothing seems to cure this problem.
Lenovo tech support told me something about timers being out and blamed it on Vista. I've asked for a more detailed, written response but, in the meantime I'd like to ask if anybody has been able to sort this problem out?
Looking online it seems that this is the single most common problem with laptops fitted with GM965 chipset so I'd have thought that between the BIOS and driver writers in Intel, Lenovo and Microsoft somebody could solve this or, at least tell everybody what it is and why it can't be solved so that people looking to play games on a laptop steer clear of this chipset.
Thanks.
Solved!

I a have solution to a problem that plagues many players!
I too have been having a problem where about three mins after logging into
WoW the screen goes black for 4-5 seconds, and then continues to do so every
30 seconds or so.
Here are my system specs.
GTW GT5412
OS: Vista Home Premium 32-Bit
Processor: Intel Core 2 1.80Ghz
Ram: 2038MB
Video Card: Intel 82945G Express Chipset Family.
I read all over on the internet trying to fix it, and everyone said to
download the 02/04/07 drivers from intel.com but every time I would run the
installer it would tell me they weren't made for my computer.
Here is how I eventually got it to work.
Step 1:
Download the 02/04/07 drivers from Intel (Version # 15.1) Put them somewhere
you'll remember. (Desktop)
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Filt...eng&sType=prev
Step 2:
Go to [Start -> Control Panel -> Security -> Turn automatic updating on or
off (Under Windows Update) -> Select "Check for updates but let me choose
whether to download and install them.
Step 3:
Go to [Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Device Manager ->
Tell Vista to Continue -> Display Adapters -> Right-click and uninstall your
current drivers.
Step 4:
Restart your computer. When Vista opens you will get a message that it is
installing "VGA adapter drivers"
Step 5:
Run "winvista_151" (Driver installer you downloaded earlier)
It should work - and if it comes up with a "Unknown error" than just try
running the installer again.
It worked without a hitch for me, and for my girlfriend's computer too. Hope
it works for all you guys too!

Thinkpad T60/T61 Serial/parallel adapter kgdb support

Hi,
   Does anyone know if the thinkpad T60/T61 serial/parallel bay adapter
    40Y8121 supports kgdb ? It must be able to run even if the system crashes with
    just the default minimal kernel serial driver.
Regards,
Sanjeev.

I know several people who use this adapter for programming industrial robots or specialised measuring instruments which require a native serial port, all reports are 100% AOK

T61 DVD/CD-RW drive fails to read and crashes

Hello Everyone, I hope people still visit this area of the forums!
I've highlighted and bolded the symptoms to make them easier to find.
I recently purchased a T61 6457-C15 on eBay, and have been in the proccess of setting up and customizing it to suit my tastes. When I recieved the laptop, it looked as though Windows had been restored to original factory state, plus some free software, so I proceeded under that assumption. First I used Windows Update to download all the updates that it could find including IE8. I wanted to have an anti-virus program running on my computer before I used a browser to access the internet. I ran IE8 and went straight to the Microsoft Security Essentials website and downloaded the Install program. At this point I tried to remove the pre-installed and expired Norton Internet Security using the built-in uninstall, but it failed. A message box popped saying that I needed to put the Norton installation disc in the CD-ROM drive so that the uninstall program could find a Norton support file. My computer did not come with any discs, but my mothe had bought Norton 2008, so I took that disc and put it in the drive. The drive started spinning right away, and the uninstall program found the file it was looking for in a few seconds. The support file directed me to the Norton website to get their removal tool, which removed Norton from my system in short order. Afterwards, I ran the Microsoft Security Essentials install program and got MSE running on my computer before doing anything else.
Then I went to the Lenovo support website and had it auto-detect my system. That took me to the support page for my system, where I went to the "Downloads and Drivers" page. I downloaded Access Connections and ThinkVantage Toolbox for Vista 32-bit (my OS is Vista Business 32-bit). I then used Lenovo System Update to retrieve all the updates it deemed neccessary from Lenovo, including those for itself and system components, both software and firmware. There were 35 or more updates suggested, and I trusted the software, so I started downloading them all. I'm not sure, but I think that a DVD/CD-RW drive update was included in the list, but I can't remember if it was auxiliary software, drivers or firmware. After Lenovo System Update was convinced that it had all the neccessary updates, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller and set about removing uneccassary and unwanted programs from my computer and trimming the startup list. I did not touch any Windows or ThinkVantage components, and I searched each program online, so I'm sure that I did not delete or disable any drivers or system files, or anything from Lenovo. I mainly removed Apple products and non-functional software from my system, including an integrated camera driver (my system does not have an integrated camera) and third-party programs that were already missing files or otherwise inoperable when I got my computer. Up to this point I had been using a gigabit ethernet connection to download software; I had not used the DVD/CD-RW drive except for the one time I specified earlier.
Now that I had my system set up to my liking, including personalization and power settings, I started to install my first program: Command & Conquer the First Decade from a DVD-ROM. When I put the disc in the drive and closed it, it took a few seconds for the drive to spin up, and once it did, it was constantly running at high speed and I could hear the reader constantly moving back and forth quickly. After a few minutes the disc's install menu finally appeared, so I clicked on the install button. I waited several minutes but nothing happened, so I tried to view the contents of the drive by going to My Computer > DVD/CD-RW drive (D, right clicking and selecting explore from the menu options. When I did that, the address bar of the My Computer window started to fill up with a dark gray progress bar and said "loading (D", I think with the drive or disc name after it. After it took several minutes to fill completely, nothing happened. I waited a few more minutes to see if anything would change, (nothing did,) I clicked on the X button in the top right corner of the window to close it. A few minutes and clicks later, the My Computer window was labeled as (not responding), and the window itself became grayed-out. I started Task Manager and tried to close the My Computer window, but the entire Windows Desktop disappeared along with it, saying that it would attempt to restart. Even Task Manager became non-responsive and quit after closing My Computer. After a few minutes of staring at my background (and nothing else), I ejected the disc, and Windows Desktop reappeared immediately and acted as if nothing had ever been wrong.
I checked Device Manager, but neither the DVD/CD-RW drive nor any of the ATA controllers were flagged; in fact they all said they were working properly with up-to-date drivers. I ran the ThinkVantage Toolbox diagnostics on the drive using a data CD, a music CD and a different DVD-ROM, but in each case the drive failed the tests and a message box popped-up saying that the discscould not be read because they were scratched or there was a hardware problem. I checked the discs both before I put them in and after I took them out, and they were not scratched; also, all of the discs are publisher-manufactured from a software or music company. I restarted my computer, booted the Rescue and Recovery option and Ran PC-Doctor from there. I ran the same drive read tests with the same failure results. The entire time the drive was behaving the same way it had when it first failed to read a disc. Next I removed and cleaned the drive both inside and out with a can of compressed air; I also cleaned the ultrabay itself. Finally I tried fixing the problem with Microsoft Fix It, but when it automatically ejected the drive and i put a disc in, the disc became trapped in the drive and Windows froze up like before. I had to restart Windows twice (once with a BSOD) in order to get the disc out. When the disc was removed the computer went back to normal operation once again.
Please help me, my DVD/CD-RW drive is a Matshi ta UJDA775, my operating system is Windows Vista Business and my T61's model number is 6457-C15. I have tried all the troubleshooting fixes and none have worked. I have tried updating drivers and using diagnostic software and they have not worked. I have tried disabling drag-to-disc burning and it has not worked. I have treid removing and cleaning the drive and that has not solved my problem. I did notice that the driver for the "Intel(R) ICH8M-E/M SATA AHCI controller" is the only related driver that can be rolled back, so maybe that might fix it. I'm also wondering if a firmware change caused this, and if so, if there is any way I can undo that. The only other fix I've heard of that I haven't tried is editing the registry, but I'm hesitant to do that. I haven't tried booting from the CD drive because I have no bootable CDs and I'm worried that my computer might get stuck in that mode. I'm hoping that someone can tell me what I can do to try to fix this problem, preferably without wrecking my computer. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
P.S. Just adding a note; I went through both the Microsoft and Lenovo Update histories and the only related updates I could find were: ThinkPad BIOS update, Easy Eject utility, Intel Matrix Storager Manager driver for Windows (32-bit), and maybe one of the two Intel Chipset Support for Vista updates. I tried rolling back the AHCI driver but it had no effect.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, my problem is fixed, and here's how. I had some trouble figuring out how to contact Lenovo technical support; online options directed me to the IBM support website, which was clearly designed for businesses. Selecting the "Call technical support" option on the Lenovo support website and then choosing my country gave me a 24/7 hotline number. After waiting about five minutes on hold, a nice young fellow by the name of "Tyrese" answered (I maybe misspelling his name), but the connection was so bad that we could barely hear each other. Although he semed eager to help, when I told him my problem the first things he suggested were simple, like cleaning the drive, However, when I told him all of my efforts, described above, to fix the problem myself and read him the log from the Rescue and Recovery diagnostic program, after he checked the error codes against his computer database he promptly replied that the only fix was to send out a new drive. I was happy to have gotten such a successful resolution to a support call in less than fifteen minutes; apparently, all the work I had done trying to solve the problem myself had paid off in a way. Unfortunately, although I had tried to spell out my address for him, some of it got left off of the address label, which caused some trouble in receiving the new drive. Once I got it, I installed it using the uninstall & remove (old drive), shut down, start up, insert & install (new drive) method that I referenced earlier in this topic. I've been using the new drive since then without any trouble, so I guess that the only fix was to replace the drive. Also, I noticed that the new drive was a Hitachi, perhaps a T400/410 or T500/510 Ultrabay Slim drive, which should help me avoid the problems that other users were having with the older Matshi-ta drives. I hope this description helps anyone else having a problem with the optical drives on the T61/61p.
