T61p, Vista and hibernate problems

There are some other threads on the issue, but I didn't see anyone with the exact same problem.
The basics; T61p (6457-5gg) with Windows Vista Ultimate. Latest BIOS and drivers.
- The sleep-function in Vista ain't possible to use at all.
- When i choose to hibernate, the systems goes into hibernation, and then wakes up again. I put the system into hibernation and put the pc in my bag. Took it up a couple of hours later and it was extremly hot. It was really uncomfortable to touch the system. Battery had been completly drained.
- BIOS-settings should be ok. The option for waking to do scheduled tasks is disabled.
Suggestions? I was thinking about a complete reinstall of the system to see what happens then, but I was hoping for a 2 minute fix instead of a days work :-|
* W520 4284-49G (Upgrades: 256GB Corsair Performance Pro & 256GB OCZ Octane) * T61p (Upgrades: 128GB OCZ Vertex, Wi-Fi Link 6300)

Hi,
I am having the same issue on my T60 on Windows XP.
I have had major issues with Standby and Hibernation from the beginning (less with Hibernation, so I use that more), but I have had weird issues where hibernating the system while plugged into AC power and waking it up while on battery will cause all kinds of issues to the point where the system will nearly freeze and cannot be shut down normally (this I can reproduce any time).
A friend told me there was a BIOS update that had been released recently - guess what: Since I installed that, I am getting freezes after a fresh reboot within minutes - my external USB mouse will stop working first, then the Start menu button and the content will start losing text (only the icons will show), and at some point it will no longer do anything.
But today all of a sudden out of the blue after showing these signs, I get the mentioned blue screen:
0x000000A0
Internal_power_error
(0x00000101, 0x00000007, 0xBA50507420, 0x00000000)
There appears to be a hotfix for Vista that you can request from Microsoft, but nothing for XP.
I would really like Lenovo to look into this as I am fairly certain there is something in their power management drivers and software that is causing this.
Does anyone have a paid support plan with Lenovo and can ask them about this?

Sleep and Hibernate problems

Hi,
Been using Win7-64bit dual-booted for a while now. Sleep on it has been problematic for a while but I did have it all working fine. Since the update to bootcamp 3.2 though, I can't get it to Sleep or Hibernate.
When I try, the screen goes dark, but the Hard Disk stays on and the system never 'sleeps'.
My only option at that point is to hard-power-off. When windows then resumes it complains it wasn't shutdown properly.
I've posted onto an MS forum, who said I should really try here. Based on their feedback and my gut I suspect its some driver thats causing the problem.
I've tried closing down any apps I can see running that might cause it (BBC iPlayer, Skype, Live, etc), but still no good.
Theres nothing in the event logs of any issues.
I've tried updating the Nvidia drivers to the latest from them - no difference.
Anyone have any ideas how to debug it ?
I could try dropping back to 3.1, but I'd rather find out the cause.

I'm using WindowsXP Pro on my 2008 Macbook Pro (Mac Side had no sleep issues), but perhaps there's a similar culprit since I solved my standby issues here using the debugger tools from Microsoft. It was giving me a blue screen of death crash every time I would attempt to wake from sleep. I updated by video drivers but still no joy. I used the debugging tools (PITA, but useful) and it pointed squarely at my 1394 Firewire driver as the culprit. Apparently, Microsoft's Firewire drivers suck. Texas Instruments (the supplier for Apple's FW chips) recommended Unibrain (at Unibrain.com) drivers for their chipset (they're FREE drivers, btw). Unibrain claims to be 100% compliant, even under XP and runs at full FW800 speeds, etc. I don't know about that one way or another, but what I do know is as soon as I installed their FW driver and rebooted, my machine would now work PERFECTLY in Standby mode. I imagine FW devices would work right now as well (many have reported crashes or slowness when trying to use them in Windows; I only use FW in OSX so I never tried them out in Windows and hadn't even used Windows until my recent trip (boredeom and wanted to play some old Windows games from Steam).
Anyway, the Unibrain drivers are for XP, Vista and Windows7, so it's not impossible that it's also causing issues in Vista or Win7 as well, even if the behaviors are slightly different. The debugging tools would tell you for sure, but it's easier to try out the replacement drivers (you can always drop back to previous drivers if you don't like them). I'd be curious to know if the drivers solve standby issues in Win7 as I'll be putting that on my next Mac.

Just purchased Wndows Vista and having problems with the port for Palm 125

I just purchased a Windows Vista computer and having problems with getting my Palm 125 to sync with the desktop. I get an error message saying: "Com1 not available" What do I do?
Thanks,

Sorry, that didn't work. I get no drop down menu from the Hot Sync Manager for the Serial Port. What comes up often is: "The selected port, COM1, is not available at this time. Hot Sync Manager will open the port when it becomes available."
Could it be the Norton Antivirus Firewall that is preventing the Hot Sync Manager to open the Serial Port? Just a thought. Thanks for your help.

Vista and mic problems

Vista and mic problemsW I'm sure this is the same problem as most. I did some searching and couldn't come up with a clear cut answer.
I run Vista Ultimate 64bit with an Elite Pro card. Just installed Vista as a matter of fact. I am also using the Fataity Gaming headset. NOT the USB headset.
I can get my mic to work somewhat, just not near good enough. It seems to be fairly quiet?with what could best be described as a metallic sound usually at the beginning and ending of talking into it. If i record some audio it sounds the same.
Is this the same problem everyone else has, and if so, where should i start to try to get it usable?
Message Edited by iowabucks on 06-5-2009 0:9 [email protected]

Good luck with this. I JUST bought this same card, and I will be returning it this week. Technical support wasn't any help, but they did provide me with comic relief.
The problem is that there is no mic boost option - am I right?

JRE, vista and IE7 problems

Java does not seem to run on IE7 except on microsoft's websites. The verify of installation on the Sun java website failed as well. I could not see any applet running. However, with other broswers such as firefox and opera, java worked perfectly. I updated my IE and JRE as well, but the problem was not solved.
I had already enabled the scripting under security, the plug ins in the
manage add-ons and under advance, java sun was enabled as well. My internet security settings is set to default.
I found out that the problem was caused by UAC. After disabling that troublesome device, java could be activated again. Is this a bug in java or in UAC?
Is there any other way besides disabling UAC or having IE7 protected mode : off?
Any solutions please?

K9N2 Sli Platinum led and hibernate problem

Hello all. I built a system in October 2008. The system was fine or appeared to be.I have the 4 red diagnostic leds. I was about to add more ram when I noticed the 4 red diagnostic lights.I had it below my desk so I am not sure for how long. If I reboot the system the lights are green and they will stay green as long as i do not suspend. But once I suspend it always comes back from suspend with red leds. I have built several systems so I have tested every component in the system except CPU. Taken everything out of case, reseated, everything I can think of. I know the red lights are supposed to mean a bad CPU but wouldn't they be red at all times rather than awake from suspend only? Could the logic board of mobo be bad? I always had it setup for S3 suspend so I decided to try S1 and it does not work. Any help is appreciated.

My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
. Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
Note:
When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

Problem with Java and Windows (Mainly Vista and UAC)

Hi all,
I am having a problem with a program that I've devoloped. The program itself is packaged as a jar and I plan to deploy it across multiple platforms eventually however right now i am only concerned about windows based systems. I have made an installer for a windows baised systems using NSIS to install the software files. I made the installer as I need several java packages to be installed so the program would work (JAI, J3D, JAI ImageIO) and I also require the program to have fileassociations on windows.
I know that this is not what java is about, however the majority of the users will be on windows baised systems so I've decided that OS specific installers is the best option.
During the process I have noticed that there are several key problem with java for this type of application!
The first issue that I have come across is getting file associations to work on java. As a .jar is not an excutable it is not possible to directly associate a filetype with it in java so to overcome this I currently run the program from a .bat files and also the program requires large memory so this also allows me to run the program with -xmx. The batch file that I use is :
<code>
cd PATH TO PROGRAM
start javaw -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Xmn100M -Xms500M -Xmx1000M -jar "PATH TO PROGRAM\program.jar" %1 -vram 134217728
pause;
</code>
Ok so all this appears to work fine and allows windows to have file associations and start the program and thats all works perfectly but this is a non-ideal solution. Has anyone got any advice on improving this?
The next problem that I have appears to be a problem with Vista and UAC (user access control). When a user installs the program and installs the program into the program files directory I found that the program did not work and kept saying that I did not have access to the files in the current directory. This is a problem as I read and write settings files during program execution.
On a Vista system UAC prevents file write operations into the Program Files directory unless the program has requested elevated status even if the user is a full administrator. The probem is that there appears to be no real way to achieve this under java that I'm aware of...
Has anyone else had this probem and has a suitable solution?
Any advice on these issues would realy be appricated.
Regards
Joey

Ok so i've kinda found a solution, its not ideal but its very good. I found this program called Elevate
A link to the site I got it was
http://www.wintellect.com/cs/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2007/03/27/elevate-a-process-at-the-command-line-in-vista.aspx
This program allows you start java with a UAC dialog for high access using
Elevate java -jar myjar.jar
This then allows you to have full access using java... I guess it could be dangerous but it does the job.

Correct Answer by Peter Lepere on Oct 14, 2011 3:07 AM
Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,
Peter

T61P Vista SP1 3GB/4GB Problem

Hi !
I've memory 3GB/4GB problem with T61P. I've install Vista SP1 (32B), problem still exist. Any hope ?
Have a nice day !
B.

Do you mean your OS won't recognise more that 3Gb? That is the limit of a 32 bit OS (Vista). Unless you get Windows 64 bit OS, you're stuck with 3Gb.

[T61p] Doesn't hibernate, only logs out

Hi,
I have a not even 1 week old T61p with Vista Ultimate preinstalled. After doing all the Windows and Lenovo updates, I noticed that hibernation didn't work (and still doesn't).
Here's what happens: I click on Start->Hibernate (or other ways to achieve it) and then the screen goes black, hard drive becomes active, then after 2-5 seconds the displays flickers and then comes back to the login screen.
I tried to disable / reenable hibernation with the powercfg -h ON|OFF command and restarting before,during and afterwards, with no effect.
The event viewer shows an error:
Source: volmgr
Event ID: 45
The system could not sucessfully load the crash dump driver.
I searched the web the last few days and came across other people that have the same symptoms.
First one:
http://neosmart.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1338
Guy who has exactly same symptoms after installing xp on another partition, no resolutions found besides clean install.
They suspected problems with the volume manager (volmgr) or Bitlocker, but couldn't confirm or fix anything.
Second one:
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=49155
Same symptoms, dual boot with Linux.
He found that his Vista partition wasn't marked as active, which caused the hibernation problem.
In my case, I don't have another operating system installed, but I used Paragon Partition Manager 8.5 to shrink the preinstalled Vista partition to 60GB and created a new 120GB one at the end. Because I initially tried to use Vista's partitioning tool, I deactivated the system restore points and the paging file in order to free some space in the middle of the drive that prevented Vista from shrinking it beyond their locations. Didn't work of course, even after using various defragmentation tools. Then I used Paragon's tool and it took care of moving the overlapping files.
My Vista partition is marked as active. The second one (containing installed programs) is not active. Vista tells me that only partitions with an operational OS should be marked active.
Bitlocker is installed but I never used it.
I think hibernation didn't even work after doing the updates at first, but I'm not really sure anymore whether I tried it then. Definately after the repartitioning, it didn't work. Standby, shutdown, restart work all as expected.
Thank you,
Jo

I did a clean install of Vista after I could not stop more and more problems from appearing.
First hibernation, then SP1 messed things up even more, and so on..
After a clean installation as described in another forum, all the power states work fine again. I would not recommend using the preinstalled system. Just make an image of it for emergency backup reasons and then put your own system on it.

Macbook Pro and ATI Graphics crashes in Windows Vista and 7

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone else had been having problems with Windows 7 and Vista having graphics driver crashes. I have been having this problem since the Boot Camp beta, and it has yet to be addressed as far as I can tell.
Basically the problem is that after a few minutes in either Vista or 7(after installing all the boot camp drivers from the Leopard or Snow Leopard disc) the screen graphics will start getting all corrupted. Eventually I will get a message in the taskbar telling me that the ATI driver has crashed and recovered from an error.
I have looked everywhere online I can think of for an answer, but have come up pretty empty thus far. The only thing I remember finding that was a possibility a long time ago was something to do with trying it with 1 stick of ram installed rather than 2, or that my ram could be problematic.
I tried running with just 1 stick, and that didn't help at all. I also tried each stick individually also with no change. I even went as far as running a diagnostic using some kind of memory testing software to see if the ram was bad, but it came back as good.
Also, I have run in XP without any issues whatsoever, so I am assuming it is something Vista and 7 specific. I was thinking it might have something to do with the Aero features as when I disable the ATI driver and run in Windows Basic without Aero enabled, I don't get the graphics glitches. Another clue might be that when the graphics glitch up, if I bring up the ctrlaltdel screen which gives you the option of Task Manager, Log Off, etc. the graphics are NOT glitched on that screen. As soon as you exit that screen however, the glitched screen is immediately back.
Bah, I am at pretty much the end of my sanity trying to figure this out, and was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the older MacBook Pro or is mine just inherently bad? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my system info just for extra help possibly?
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro1,2
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 2 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP12.0061.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.5f10
ATI Radeon X1600:
Chipset Model: ATY,RadeonX1600
Type: GPU
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x71c5
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-xxxxxx-086
EFI Driver Version: 01.00.086

Just an added update for anyone interested. I believe I have finally figured out what the issue is.
Apparently, at least on this model of MacBook, Apple has the ATI card underclocked to 310MHz / 278MHz (GPU and RAM respectively) when running normally. However, when running in Windows the ATI driver automatically uses the full clock speed of 470MHz / 470MHz (or something to that effect). The reason that it ends up getting artifacts and driver crashes is because of overheating. Apple has it underclocked because of the way heat is distributed in the system.
Anyway, I found a tool that KIND of works for fixing the issue I believe. It is called ATITool, and allows you to change the clock speed to the 310MHz / 278MHz that works so well in OS X.
It is located at: http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/
One thing though, the newest version 0.27 beta 3 (on mine at least) causes the backlight of the screen to go off when you load it in Windows. If you put the machine into hibernate, then bring it back up it will come back on... but that is annoying. I have found that the version 0.25 beta 13 doesn't have this issue. It is possible some of the other versions prior to 0.27 beta 3 also don't have this issue, but I haven't tested them yet. I will give some of them a try later.
The previous versions can be found here: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/Tweaking/ATITool/
Anyway, if anyone else has luck with other clock speeds or knows of any other solutions please let me know. This way works, but I would like to find a better solution if possible.
