Thinkpad W530 and Intel Rapid Start Issue

Hi there, I have a Thinkpad W530 and am having an issue with Intel Rapid Start. When I enable it, it works fine. Once. When I bring the computer back from the S4 state everything is working just fine. But the Intel Rapid Start service disables itself. I have to re-enable it each time I want to use it. Any ideas? Thanks! Charlie Durand

This is happening for me too on my X1 Carbon, having wiped it and installed Windows 8 manually. Rapidstart will work fine the first time I turn it on, but then it'll pretty much say it's done with me until I switch it back to "on" again.
Having to check the manager each time is rather tedious, so I'm going to turn it off (edit:uninstall!) and use hibernation until a fix is published.

Reader X and Windows 7 Printing Issue

We have upgraded are PC from windows xp to windows 7 64bit. When i try to print a PDF from the internet, sometimes it will print then, most of the time the PDF goes to non-responsive. I have to start the task manager and end the task, which closes the browser only thing i have found to work is if i do a resart of the PC.

Good day,
Could you provide some additional details about both the file and your system's configuration?
What version of Adobe Reader X do you have installed? (Help > About Adobe Reader)
If you haven't updated to 10.0.3, please do so and see if the issue persists.
How was the PDF file you're searching created? (File > Document Properties > What does the PDF Producer line say?)
Are you experiencing this with multiple files?
Have you installed SP1 for Windows 7?

P965 platnium and windows boot up issues

Hello,
I put my computer together yesterday and everything seemed to work alright. I was successfully able to install windows. The issue i have is that windows will only load up once, then it will always freeze on start up.
For example last night, I reinstalled windows, got to it to load up, installed my network driver, browsed the web for a few minutes, and then restarted the computer. Then windows froze up during start up, so i reboot, and try to boot into safe-mode, which also ends up freezing after loading a few files.
This has been very repeatable, I can always reinstall and get back into windows, but i can not restart without it freezing. I ended up downloading liveupdate and updating the bios to 1.2, but that didn't seem to help.
my computer spec-
ee6700 core2 cpu
msi p965 platinum mobo
adata 2X1gig ram *(ddr2 800 pc2 6400 1.8v)
saphire 9750 xt pciE video card
37gig wd raptor drive sata
samsung 16x dvd burner ide
*antec smartpower 450w ps
no overclocking,everything is default settings
To make the issue more complex, I took out the harddrive and dvd burner and put them back into my old computer, reinstalled windows, and was able to reboot successfully.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

CS3 dds drivers and Windows 7 64bit issue

I have photoshop CS3 working however I can't load the dds drivers. I've tried everything see below. Anyone been able to load the Nvidia dds drivers?
What is the proper proceedure to effectively install the DDS files in CS3 in a windows 7 64 bit environment?
I tried the 32 bit and 64 bit files and when I use the 32 bit file i get an error opening up photoshop that says missing D3x9_43.dll, and I don't have the option to save in a .dds format. If I uninstall the dds 32 bit program the missing D3x9_43.dll error goes away.
When I load 64 bit version no errors but I still don't have the option to save in .dds format. Kind of frustrating..................
I've just uninstalled and cleaned CS3. I've done a new fresh load of CS3. What are the correct steps from here?
Which file should I download? etc.
Thank you in advance.
Ok, I've tried everything I can find.
I let the 32 bit dds program load to a seperate folder and manually transfered the files to the proper folders in Photoshop and still get the same results as above. I tried renaming them and removing the 32 extensions and still no go. I did the same thing with the 64 bit program and still no go.
The 32 bit program said it was still looking for the D3X9_43.dll file for some reason. I haven't tried downloading that file since I don't know where to put it.
Can someone please help me. Has anyone got the DDS files to work with CS3 and Windows 7?
Thank you
Bill

Got it fixed. I loaded the drivers from my old XP machine. drivers are from 2007. Don't remember where I got them from but they worked. I can save dds files again.
Thank you for the reply.

Huey Pro and Windows 7 64bit Issues

Hi there, having problems I am afraid. If I calibrate my two monitors with the Huey pro all works fine except when I run LR 3.0. None of the thumbnails or pictures display at all. They are there as I can see the histogram for each one. Delete the huey profiles and pictures appear again, but unfortunately I loose my calibrations. Running the latest Huey software and windows 7 has all the updates. Any suggestions, and many thanks for looking? Chris

Are you creating V4 profiles? If so create V2 profiles. I beleve LR is one of those programs that doesn't like V4.
I also just found this on the X-rite website.
The huey display calibrator is not designed to calibrate multiple monitors attached to the same computer. If you have dual monitors and your video card supports multiple monitor calibrations, you should check out the higher-end display calibrators such as the i1 Display 2 or i1 Display LT.
If you have two monitors connected to your computer, huey calibrates the monitor that has been designated as the primary monitor. (The primary monitor is the one with the task bar. Monitor designation is done in the Mac System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement or Windows Control Panel > Displays > Settings.)
You may be able to calibrate both monitors if you first designate one as the primary, calibrate it, then designate the second as the primary, and calibrate that. However, this is not a supported feature and may not work with all video cards and monitors. The software for i1 Display, on the other hand, lets you move the display calibration interface to whichever monitor you want to calibrate.

Comments on Thinkpad L420 and Windows 8.1

Hi
I installed Windows 8.1 build 9600 on a Thinkpad L420 to try it out.
Here are some of my comments.
1) ThinkVantage System Update does not install normally, you need to run the silent mode to install it.
Once it is installed it will install some of the drivers and Lenovo software on it.
You need to run it like this "SystemUpdate502-06-26-2013.exe /a /s /v"/qn"
Check this link: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8/Windows-8-1-Lenovo-system-update/td-p/1233289
Check the Thinkvantage software for Windows 8 here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-61432
2) For the intel drivers it is also good that you run the Intel autodetect tool on their website.
http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect
The newer intel video driver and Wifi are working fine on Windows 8.1
3) Bluetooth was not working. I went the the Broadcom site and downloaded the driver from their site. After installing it started working. (SetupBtwDownloadSE.exe)
Issues:
1) I can not make the "Fingerprint software". The figerprint device got recognized by Windows 8.1 like "Touchstrip Finger Print Sensor" by "AuthenTec" on Widows Device Manager.
But when I try to run Lenovo's Fingerprint software installer it tells me that Windows is missing the "Windows biometric framework".
Any tip on how to make it work will be welcome.
Regards.

We know about the issue with ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software and will have new software ready by the time Windows 8.1 is formally available.
But, Windows 8.1 has fingerprint software built-in so you can enroll your finger in the User Settings screen.
The only benefit to ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software, is the preboot support for T/W/X systems. Your L420 doesn't support fingerprint at preboot, therefore you don't need ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software for L420 on Win8.1 - there is no purpose for it.
So just install the Fingerprint driver from Windows Update (I think you already did this) and use the native Win8.1 fingerprint enrollment tool in the User Settings screen.

EA4500 – Smart Wi-Fi interface and Windows Network Map issues

I purchased this Router about 2 weeks ago as a phased upgrade of our Home Network, primarily to enhance media streaming. It has the latest firmware preinstalled from the factory. Prior to the purchase and installation of the EA4500 Router I replaced my old Motorola SurfBoard SB6120 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem with a Motorola SurfBoard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem. My old Linksys E2000 Router worked perfectly with the SB6141, with the exception that the E2000 wasn’t IPv6 enabled, but does have 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet (RJ-45) and Internet ports.
The EA4500 has been installed for about 10 days and seems to have improved local network speeds and I don’t seem to be having any Internet connectivity issues. However, there are some disturbing issues with the EA4500 and the AE3000 I purchased. There are 11 devices connected through the Router; a Dell Desktop (wireless with the AE3000), a Dell Desktop (Ethernet), a Dell Laptop (wireless), 2 Canon Printers (1 Ethernet and 1 Wireless), 2 Western Digital 1TB MyBookLive Network Drives (both Ethernet), a WD TV Live Streaming Media Player (wireless), an Apple TV media player (wireless), an iPad (wireless), and an Android Smartphone (wireless).
Issue 1 – The Linksys Smart Wi-Fi interface appears to be unreliable at times!!! I’ve read about this problem here on the Community involving the EA6500, so I don’t know if this is a Linksys Server issue, as suggested in a few responses, or a bug in the Router firmware, or defective hardware. However, when the interface locks up, it can’t be accessed from a wireless or wired connection. Usually, powering down the Router and then powering it back up and restart will allow it to function again. However, at times before the interface completely locks up it shows either just a white screen or the security screen will show no firewall features enabled. This is a little scary, so I’ll do a complete reset and setup; this is becoming a pain in the rear!!!!! Is there any hope for this being fixed, in this Router, not the next generation??????????
Issue 2 - All of my network devices show up in the Router’s Device List. Except for the Apple devices they also show up, when they are online, in Windows 7 Explorer under Network and when you click on Network they are correctly displayed as Computers, Media Devices, Network Infrastructure, or Storage. However, when you click on “Open Network and Sharing Center” and then click on “See Full Map”; it fails with the response “Windows cannot create the network map. Responses from other devices on the network are delayed or there is an incompatible router on the network”; no device map is shown. When I follow the link for more information, the only thing that stands out is “A device on the network, such as a hub or switch, is not working properly or is not compatible with the Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) protocol, which Windows uses to create the map. To fix this problem, disable the device, turn it off, or remove it from your network”. All of my network devices showed up on the Network Map with the old E2000. This issue is the same on all of my computers, either wired or wireless. Any known solutions for this, or is it as Windows suggests; an incompatible Router????
Thanks in advance for any insight or solutions. With the issues I’m having with the EA4500 and the AE3000; they are both probably going back to Amazon.

thebluemamba_24; Thank you for your suggestion; I finally found time yesterday to perform an extensive evaluation before I return the Router. However, rather than trying to add devices manually, my rationale was if the EA4500 can’t process them correctly, automatically, it needs to be returned anyway, so I added devices normally letting the device an Router handle the process.
In thinking through this issue, all devices on our network are detected and identified by Windows Explorer on Windows 7 computers; except of course the Apple and Android devices (Apple TV, iPad, and Smartphone). So, I wondered if one of those three devices being added to the Router’s device list was somehow causing issues or interfering with Windows 7’s ability to generate a Network Map. Therefore, my approach was to turn off or disable all devices on our network, reset the Router to factory defaults, reestablish the Router to my custom Home Network configuration using a Windows 7 PC that has LAN and Wireless access to the Router, then add one device at a time and check with each addition to see if Windows 7 could still generate a Network Map.
With the Router reset and reestablishment complete; I began the process of adding one device at a time and checking to see if a Network Map was being generated. What I discovered was when a recent addition to the network, a Western Digital WD TV Live Streaming Media Player, was connected (wirelessly), Windows 7 could no longer generate the Network Map and the failure was consistent. The only way to get the Network Map to work again was to remove power from the WD TV Live, although it remained in the EA4500’s Device List; simply turning it off didn’t help. Since I’d originally witnessed the Windows 7 Network Map working with the Linksys E2000 Router that the EA4500 replaced, I decided to test the WD TV Live with that Router. It worked initially, but it failed consistently after the first success. Interestingly, the failure indication was a little different, but nevertheless generation of the Network Map failed.
I’ve tried changing a few settings on the EA4500 as well as the WD TV Live, but nothing helped. There was a recent firmware update to the WD TV Live, so I might try rolling back the firmware to see if it makes a difference.
The Network Map issue might very well be an issue with the WD TV Live, not the Router, but after reading many threads on this Community I have reservations that the problems I’m experiencing with the Smart interface lockup will be fixed. I suspect new emerging replacement products will be the focus and these older products will be abandoned and no more firmware fixes will be forthcoming and I don’t want to spend more money for a new product just to fix old problems and get something that works properly. The Network Map issue is troublesome, but the lockup of the Router’s “Linksys Smart Wi-Fi” interface is a serious matter to me. It appears that once it locks up, the only way to correct it is a power off restart; not practical if you’re traveling and trying to access settings remotely; the selling point for this feature.
Given the problems I’m experiencing with the EA4500 and AE3000, I guess I’ll return them. Too bad, because otherwise the EA4500 seems like it’s a good Router. I’ve been brand loyal since the Linksys WRT54G came out, but after reading this Community and with my personal experience with the EA4500 and AE3000, now I’ll probably give the NETGEAR N900 equivalents a try.

Thinkpad X1 and Windows 8

Hi i wanted to sum up what stuff doesn't work on Windows 8 for the Thinkpad X1. I use a Windows 8 Pro Version (Dreamspark) so it's not the costumerpreview or such thing. I installed all of the beta drivers provided by Lenovo.
1) Synaptic Ultranav: The driver simply fails to install. Cant't use gestures on the trackpad. Trackpoint runs but only with the default windows behavior (the scrolling is diffrently; ergo way worse).
2) There seems to be no Dolby Home Theater Support yet.
3) The Intel graphic driver lost it's option to turn off the automatic dimming of the display.
4) SystemUpdate gives back an error saying that the catalogue for the Thinkpad X1 were not found.
5) The mute microphone key doens't function -> no light on / microphone is constantly activated
6) Besides Display brightness none of the FN combinations work e.g. managing WLan and Bluetooth adapters
Ok, i will try to install the fingerprint reader, cardreader and so on. If i find more problems i'll post them here
Cheers,
Karl

Hi, maybe I can help.
1. Use the windows 7 version- works perfectly
2. New win8 drivers have it here-
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT074689
3. Try re-installing them as there's been a few added very recently.
4. Are you using version 5? (this automatically picked up the Audio Drivers with Dolby).
5. Need these driver-

6. Again, sounds like your missing heaps of drivers.

Creative Cloud and Windows 8.1 issues

Hi. I recently bought a lap top with windows 8 on it. I then installed Creative Cloud and installed some CC apps no problem. Then I updated to 8.1 and now the CC application does not work. All of the apps that I was able to download work fine, it's just the creative cloud app that does not work i.e. blank screen. Does anyone know about any fix for this?
Thanks

Just an update to my previous post - I have resolved the issue.
It turned out to be a Windows 8.1 User account problem. Not sure why it happens however I managed to get it working by creating a new Admin account and opening Creative Cloud from there...This worked fine for me, I installed all my packages.
I then returned to my orginal admin account and all apps functioned perfectly. I couldn't figure out why the orginal admin account had problems however the new one worked fine.
Give it a try...

Lightroom and Windows mouse focus issues.

In one aspect Lightroom have been always behaving different from other Windows application: Its speed of grabbing mouse focus and moving window to the foreground is exaggerated. This problem will be observed only by people using their WinXP computers in "X11 mode", like with Unix, what allows to perform interaction with processes associated with windows without ever clicking on, or raising such window. Should you be working on large computer clusters as I do, this focusing feature its a blessing.
This how you can reproduce: Use Tweak UI to adjust the mouse behavior. Select "Mouse," step down to "X=Mouse" and check "Activation follows mouse." Do not select "autoraise."
Now your WinXP will behave similar to the real X11 xterm with mouse having the "no raise selection" policy. Its not quite identical to xterm, but it really works perfectly in most cases.
Except... well, except with Lightroom. Lightroom grabs the pointer and pushes the window to the foreground in splits of a second. For example, go to
"Help|About Adobe Lightroom" to see the credit window. It appears than as usual, but since the help menu will be dismisses, the pointer stands on the main Lightroom window, what makes the credits window vanish in split of a second. No chance to see it!
Another case: Assume that Lightroom uses almost the entire desktop down to the task bar, and your browser window is smaller. Select the browser on the taskbar and try to move mouse to it. No chance! Lightroom will take over and pop itself to the foreground again. The only solution is to minimize Lightroom. And than sometimes something happens that Lightroom will not restore itself anymore! The "Restore" operation is grayed out, one can only Maximize it. We have reported this numerous times before.
I am aware that this problem relates only to WinXP users with X11 mouse mode, but with Lightroom reaching now a high degree of maturity, maybe we could take a look at this problem as well?

In order to overcome most of the known navigation and/or focus issues you need to be using the following:
<li>Forms 10.1.2.3 or newer (latest is 11.1.2). If/when you are using 10.1.2.3 you would also need to install patch ID 9593176 as this contains additional fixes for focus issues.
<li>JRE 1.6.0_26 or newer (latest is 1.6.0_30). The latest is always recommended as it contains the most up to date fixes for both technical issues and security issues.
Patches are only available on MyOracleSupport: http://support.oracle.com

Ise and windows CA cert issues during tls

Hi All,
We are having some issues when doing eap-tls during onboarding. The setup is to have a single ssid network. Clients initially gets connected via peap and after onboarding it is eap-tls. The environment is a 2 tier CA hirearchy having a root-ca (offline) and intermediate CA (this is the AD domain enterprise CA and scep server). ISE cert was signed by the intermediate CA for https and eap. Also imported the certificate chain from the intermediate CA to ISE cert store (converted from .p7b to .der). It also has the scep RA certificate and scep communication between ise and scep server looks ok.
The issue is during the onboarding process (tested with windows xp) after the redirection to guest poral, windows SPW wizard starts and prompts to confirm the user certificate. This keeps on prompting after 'ok' is clicked and does not proceed further. The 'view certificate' shows the following error " The issuer of this ccertficate is not found". ISE shows the following errors in authentication details (jpg attached). Windows SPW logs shows that it keep on retrying authentication.
The issuer of the client cert which is the intermediate CA cert is already in the ISE certificate store. Therefore shouldn't that client get this issuer CA details from ISE and ISE should be able to authenticate client during onboarding to start the tls connection? Do we have to import seperate certs for root-ca, Intermediate ca in ise store instead of the chain?
Does anybody had this issue with ISE in a hirearchical CA environment?
Thanks in advance.

Photoshop 12.1 32 bit and Windows 7 autoplay issue

Hello. I've come across a problem with Windows 7 and photoshop and I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.
I installed Adobe Masters Collection 5.5 on a PC that has Windows 7 32-bit. It has Photoshop 12.1 installed. When I plug any USB camera into it, autoplay doesn't work. When I uninstall the Adobe Suite, autoplay works fine. I've changed autoplay settings in Windows and tried different cameras. No luck.
Is there a setting in the adobe suite that takes control of autoplay for cameras? Like I said, this only happens when I install photoshop. Once I remove it, autoplay works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

Not that I know of, at least not in Photoshop (I don't have the whole suite). I have Photoshop 6.0, CS4, CS5, and CS6 on my Windows 7 workstation and I still get normal autoplay functionality when I plug my camera into a USB port.
One thing though... I normally disable a number of extraneous things Adobe installs (e.g., Switchboard, Service Manager, updaters, etc.) via Autoruns. I wonder if maybe I've avoided the problem you're seeing because I do that.
I'll be interested in seeing the resolution for this issue when you find it.

CS4 and Windows 7 - HDV issues

System Specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium (Service Pack 1)
Dell
Intel Dual Core 2.93GHz
64-bit
8 GB RAM
Premiere Pro CS4 - Latest updates installed.
We've had a continual flow of problems with this program and as soon as we think we've fixed it with re-installs and updates - the problems return or new ones pop up. I'm at my wits end really and hope someone can give us some help. I cannot give you a detailed history of all the reinstalls, etc that we've done in the last 3 months or more but I will give you the current problems.
1. HDV is gone. Gone in capture settings and new project options. All projects using HDV files now say those files are offline and "unsupported format or damaged" This was not the case only a few days ago. No updates, no uninstalls and no system changes since. This no-HDV is completely out of the blue...
2. Tried to recapture footage from Canon HDV (HV20 A) camera. Capture opens saying Camera Offline but Device Control works (play, fast-forward etc - Record is grayed out)
We've had the no HDV in the capture/new project options problem before and I think we fixed it with updates. This time arouond the problems are back and seemingly worse - it's as if Windows 7 arbitrarily decided to jettison HDV from its system.
Hope this gives adequate context. I will try to answer any questions to further help in solving this problem.
Best regards, troy & az @ pbzinc
