Thinkpad T400, Win 7 Pro 64bit and sleep

I have a ThinkPad T400 laptop that is running Windows 7 Professional 64bit with SP1. I use a docking station with it as well. When I go home at night, I put the computer to sleep, undock it and take it home with me. On most nights, I don't do anything else with it. When I come in in the morning, I put it in the dock and start it up. However, when I do this, it takes about 5 minutes for the logon screen to appear and another minute or two before I can actually do anything. I've tried different docks with the same result. It isn't hibernating either. Any ideas what may be causing this? I thought Windows 7 was supposed to be fast to resume?

I tend to agree with the suggestion that it's waking from sleep and hibernating. It is at least a strong possibility.
Does it say "resuming windows"?
OTOH, 5 minutes plus is way too long for a normal resume from hibernation.  I just tested my T400/Win7 Pro 64.  It takes 30 seconds from power on (resuming from hibernation) to the desktop.  I don't require a login on resume.
I don't have SP1 installed.  The graphics driver prevents that for now.

  • HYPER-V problem (Thinkpad Twist with Win 8 Pro 64bit and 8GB Ram)

  • MAR WIN 7 PRO 64bit on Refurb T520

    I have ordered a T520 refurb. It apparently has MAR WIN 7 PRO 64bit installed on a 250GB 7200 HD. No discs, so presumably there will be a recovery partition.
    Question 1: Will I be able to burn a recovery CD from the recovery partition?
    Question 2. I would like to install an SSD as the main drive. Can I clone the entire HD including recovery partition and keep it as a back up? Maybe install in Ultrabay and partition it so I can use it in part for data.
    Question 3. If I needed to download and install a Win7 Pro 64 bit ISO, will it work using the MAR license?
    Question 4. I think I read something about loss of functionality of Thinkvantage when using MAR Windows because Flextronics/IBM are not fully licensed to offer some features. Is this true? I may have misunderstood.
    Any other pitfalls of MAR I should know about?

    "All the Lenovo software will not be included, and probably the drivers they have on file for the system. That would be because the company does not have a contract with Lenovo (I am guessing here) but as far as I know that does not stop you from getting it. BUT you will not get the other software that is loaded on Lenovo's at the factory. That may be what they are talking about. But Windows is windows. Say for instance you have Windows 7 Premium Home, it will be the same as if Lenovo installed it, or you installed it yourself.
    One issue you may have. Recovery discs. Are you getting any Discs with the computer, or does it have a recovery partition. You have to get one or the other at the cost of the remanufacturer"
     I am finding that there are differences with the IBM/Flextronics refurb machine. They say in a FAQ that because they are not legally allowed to use the Lenovo operating software, the Thinkvantage button is deactivated. If I hit downarrow (or is it F12), and get to the boot choice screen, there is an option at the bottom for recovery. This uses the recovery partition and will apparently over write the windows installation, losing set up etc. 
    What I was looking for, was a method to backup the recovery partition to DVD or USB stick just in case drive itself fails. But I don't see a way to do that other than cloning the entire disk. Is there another way?

  • Problems w/ver 27 and xp sp3; should I give up on xp and go to Win 7 PRO 64bit where I find no problems?

    OS = Win XP SP3
    Cannot change/edit location of downloads; the only download available is DOWNLOADS
    This ver of MF takes about 15 seconds to load NASCAR website
    After I select any website to load a small, rotating circle appears in the upper-left of the screen and remains until, finally, the page has completely loaded.
    I do not have this problem w/win 7 pro 64 bit
    Installing MF 4 solves this problem on the Win XP SP3 OS.
    I do not find this problem on older laptops running the same XP OS.

    Have you done any routine maintenance on that computer recently?
    What happens if you use a different browser on that computer?
    Are you running the most up-to-date version of Firefox on that computer?
    What do you mean by MF4?

  • Win 7 Pro 64bit - BIOS Update Failure 2ACN37WW

    G'day Genlemen,
    I am upgrading to 2g RAM and need to update my BIOS. However I am not able to get the program to run from Windows 7 Pro 64bit. I am trying to install 2ACN37WW.exe
    When I open the program as administator it pops up for a second and disappears, I've tried running it in compatibility mode which doesn't help.
    Do I need to be using a 32bit OS for the 2ACN37WW.exe to run in Windows? I have followed the txt instructions exactly.
    Is there another way I can update to 2ACN37WW outside of Windows? Like the Thinkpad T serious CD BIOS update method?

  • Personas suddenly not working Firefox 30, 31, 32 on Win 7 Pro x64 and Linux Mint 16 x64

    Personas which have been working for a long time suddenly quit working on Win 7 and Linux. I tried changing to a different persona to change the background for the top border of the window and it just goes to some odd color and the personas just don't show up. This has been with Firefox 30, 31, 32. The personas still work with Win XP Pro run as a virtual machine on Win 7 host or Win 8 host. I thought it was a Windows thing until I saw the same problem with Linux. Everything else seems normal so this isn't a real bad problem. It's just odd.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).

  • Win XP Pro drivers and install order for Qosmio E10

    Hello,
    I bought recently Qosmio E10 in Korea. The OS is Korean Win XP Home. I would like to change it, so I guess I have two options:
    1. Get a restore CD in English. But I read that Toshiba has the strange rule not to give restore CD with different language. I wrote them, they don't answer for now.
    2. Install Win XP Pro myself (I have only this license). The issue in this case is to be able to get all the drivers I need. I found good drivers on several locations:
    On http://www.toshiba.co.kr, but I worry that these drivers are for Korean XP.
    The other place is http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    In this place, most of the drivers are for Media Center edition. There are drivers for XP Pro, but they are not so many and there is no install order. For example, there is no NVidia driver, while such driver is available for the media center. Maybe I can use Media center drivers on XP Pro?
    So my question is: What drivers I have to use and and what order to get a proper working XP Pro. It would be nice to know where to download QosmioUI. I found the Linux player and I will install it, but I want also to have the player in Windows.

    Hello
    As far as I know the software is bundled on notebook and if you buy a notebook you buy automatically OS and license to use it. That means that you can not order a recovery DVD on another language. Qosmio E10 is delivered with Windows MCE2004 SP1a.
    The only possibility is to install Microsoft Windows XP OS (full version, with or without MCE), and then you must install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities separately.
    For English language you can find them on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com under Support & Downloads.

  • Retail Question - Win 8 Pro - Obtaining and Licenses

    The responses I've read through appear to be as late as 8/2013. It is now 2/2014.
    I am performing a new system build (New SSD, pre-existing CPU/MOBO). I want a complete/full retail version of Win 8 Pro. I believe my current installation is corrupt and do not wish to migrate the corruption to the new platform. I also want a full
    box set for Win 8 Pro with current drivers, pre-installed features/functions, etc. available. Q: Is there a full retail version NOW available for purchase of Windows 8 Professional?
    I am performing a new system build (brand new and designated as HTPC for my home). I want a complete/full retail version of Win 8 Home for the build of the new platform. Q: Is there a full retail version of NOW available for purchase of Windows 8 Home?
    In both cases, the installations shall be used to permit access by the new HTPC, current Win 7 Home Laptop, tablet and other devices including BluRay Players. The Win 8 Pro is needed as a fresh install in order to provide support for the multiple devices,
    as a learning platform, as a platform to access two 4TB drives along with extensive personal content and data (BitLocker Encrypted).
    Please advise if the versions of the product are for sale and if so where.
    Thank you.
    Jim - Mastiffs are the greatest!

    Thank you for the response and link. Unfortunately, the following statement is blaringly obvious once you follow it.
    Important: Windows 8.1 Pro full version is for Windows 7 users only.
    Please provide a location where there are no stipulations for the full version, or the use of a system builder version (OEM).
    I would prefer to acquire the product as a complete set, without having to use it on a new build with no prior OS installed; rather than have to first have a license for XP, Visa or Windows 7. In both questions above, I indicated it was a
    new system build.
    Does MS not provide a version of the OS for new home-build units? Is it completely restricted to only prior license holders of the product?

  • Upgrade from Win 7 Pro 32bit pre embeded OEM pack to Win 7 Pro 64bit

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased 15 Dell OptiPlex Desktops with pre installed Windows 7 Pro 32bit Operating System.
    Now, i wish to upgrade it to Windows 7 Pro 64bit but not able to do so as i do not have the product key. As I understand the key for 32bit & 64bit is same but the problem is that I cannot locate my current pre embedded OEM license key as it is been embedded
    in to the motherboard as informed to me by OEM (Dell).
    Please suggest a solution as on how can I upgrade my current 32bit OS to 64bit in this scenario.
    Awaiting your response in anticipation.

  • May I remove without any risk the two recovery partitions in win 8.1 Pro 64bit and what is the hidden reserved partition?

    I have this partition situation on my unic disc C & D for Windows 8.1 Pro at 64bits (see fig. 1)
    and this is the same list from diskpart:
    My first question is: may I remove partitions 1 and 5 without any risk?
    My second question is what is the reserved partition 3 and why is not mentioned in Disc Manager?
    Thanks for your help and excuse if the images are in Italian but I'am using an Italian OS.
    Rinog47
    rinog47

    I am not entirely convinced about your answer.
    Yes the first partition of 800 MB may be the OEM original partition, (by ASUS containing Win 8.0) that I upgraded with a disk to Windows 8.0 Pro, and than upgraded to Win 8.1 Pro from Windows Store.
    Now I made a full backup image of factory settings (win 8.0) on a USB key and now, after the upgrade to win 8.0 pro and then to win 8.1 this backup copy is useless.
    The second partition is a system EFI partition and because the disk is a GPT basic disk and not a MBR, that partition is where (is that correct?) are system and boot info together with the hidden reserved third partition.
    About the fourth recovery partition I suppose it was created when I created and installed Win 8.1 Preview on a VHD disk with double booting menu (that I deleted after the release of Windows 8.1).
    This is why I asked if the two recovery partitions can be safely removed.
    So, with this more info, may you review you answer and confirm or give me more details about all.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Problem reading SD card on T400/Win XP Pro SP3

    I have an SD card, which reads just fine on an olde T61. When I insert it into T400, I can browse the contents of the folders with no previews. When I am trying to copy a picture from the card to the computer, I have error message:
     "Cannot copy <name>: The path is too deep."
    I have all the updates installed through Lenovo update tool, and all windows updates installed as well.
    Is there a solution to this problem? Has anyone experienced something similar?
    Thanks

    I just got off the phone talking with Lenovo rep. He suggested the problem is caused by some incompatibility of SP3 with the SD card driver. The suggested fix is to follow the instructions here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/i​tproxpsp/thread/b435c934-112b-4142-8bc5-496482c2c8​...
    Did anybody try this? I am quite hesitant to mess manually with the Win drivers. Any more ideas?
    It seems strange, because the problem on that forum was reported in January, and apparently it has not been addressed by MS/Lenovo since then, with some automatic update.

  • Lenove Thinkpad T400, run 32bit or 64bit?

    Should I run 32bit Arch or 64bit Arch on my T400? Is the hardware support as good on 64bit as it is on 32bit?

    hardware support is just as good on x86_64 as on i686, I'd say go for the x86_64.  I'm running x86_64 on my thinkpad T61, works perfectly.

  • MacBook Pro 15" and sleep problem

    Hello:
    I have a new MacBook Pro 15". Lately, it does not go to sleep when in battery. It used to do so without any problems. My only guess is that after updating the MSN Messenger, something has changed and if I run MSN Messenger, even if I quit it, something stays running on the background that stops the machine from going into sleep mode.
    Would this be possible or could there be another reason?

    That may be the case. You can look in Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor to see what processes are running after you quit MSN.
    You might also consider Adium (or aMSN if you want video) for chatting, instead of MSN Messenger.

  • HP Officejet 6500 E709 - works fine. WIN 7 Pro drivers and registry severely messed up.

    I was having problem printing (cant recall the exact error at this point) and every attempt to fix got me in more trouble.  I ended up trying to uninstall and reinstall the drivers and then the device, but clearly failed to do it properly as now everything to do with the printer gives me an hourglass and need to reboot to end the process.
    I know its the PC because I have another WIN 7 on the home network which works just fine.
    Even clicking Devices and Printers in Control panel ends in hourglass as described above.
    So I ran HP Print and Scan Doctor.  It too ends (quickly) with the hourglass.  I suspect that to some one who lnows what they are doing the log  file will tell the story, so here it is:

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Swiv ,
    I read your post about the issues you are having with your printer on your one Windows 7 system. I have a few suggestions for you to try if you would like. If they do not help, I would then suggest Microsoft Support for better exposure on the issue you're having.
    1. Uninstall the printer by running the Microsoft Fix It tool
    2. Restart the PC
    3. Perform a Clean Boot
    4. Restart the PC again
    5. Unregistering and re-registering the Microsoft Windows Installer service:
    1. Click the Start menu and type " cmd " in the search field and press enter.
    2. Type in " msiexec /unregister " and then press enter.
    3. Type in " msiexec /regserver " and then press enter.
    4. Restart your PC and try the installation.
    6. Using System File Checker to Restore System Files
    7. Restart the PC
    8. Install the printer by running the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows
    9. Once installed, go back to the Clean Boot to enable your start up programs again.
    10. If this does not work, try posting the issue in the Microsoft Support Community
    Best wishes
