Thinkpad Twist with Windows 7 - screen rotation

So a client of mine bought the Twist with Windows 8 on it and really did not like windows 8 and asked me to repalce the install with Windows 7, wiping out the drives .... I managed to get all but 2 devices identified and install, one has an ID of PNP0C40 which is related to a button and the other one PNP0C60 is related to a convertable laptop display sensor.
The PNP0C60 is likely related to my problem, no screen rotation.
Is there a driver for this sensor that might work with Windows 7?
If the answer is, we do not support windows 7, could someone reccomend a forum where folks are trying to downgrade the Twist to 7? my searches come up with mostly amazon reviews.
Thanks, if anyone needs help with any of the other drivers for Win 7 on the Twist ... I'd love to help

I was in the same scenario, my company bought a Twist for testing but we want Windows 7 because we can't train everyone on using Windows 8.
I finally found a project on SourceForge that seems to be working great.

I had to install the ThinkVantage Active Protection System before the program would function.

It's a simple install, you calibrate the different rotations of the laptop, read the README it will tell you how to get going, it takes 5 minutes.
I added it as a startup item for all users but I had to follow these instructions to get rid of a security prompt.

I've been testing it and it's almost better than using the built-in button because it's automatic.

  • Thinkpad X300 with windows xp sp2 gets blue screen after standby.

    We have a Thinkpad X300 (with windows xp sp2) gets blue screen after standby. I mean after you close the lid then open it. Anyone has see this kind of behave before?
    Thanks,

    I have found the solution to this problem - hope you are still watching the thread.
    Express install in parallels seems to be the culprit. Do a custom install instead and set your own virtual hard disk size. I set mine to 12 Gb (12000 Mb)and made it a fixed size instead of "growing" or whatever the heck parallels calls it. I also chose shared network instead of "bridged" (I read that someone else had identified this as part of the problem).
    After making those changes it worked like a charm.

  • ThinkPad Twist with USB3 dock display problem

    I have a ThinkPad Twist running Windows 8 driving a single external display through a Lenovo USB3 dock. When I extend my screen across both displays or if I close the laptop and just use the external display, then the display periodically goes black and then recovers. If I duplicate the laptop screen onto the external monitor all is good.
    Sometimes this is caused by UAC and other password requests. In that case the screen stays black until I respond to the pop-up on the laptop screen. I understand that this is a security feature. Other times it seems to happen spontaneously. Several times I have sat and watched the external display go black for a few seconds then recover several times a minute without any user activity. I don't think that's related to a security feature.
    I also have a Lenovo X1 Carbon running Windows 8. When using it with the same USB3 dock I have never experienced this issue.

  • ThinkPad W530 with Windows 8 x64 Pro BSOD when connecting to projector

    Nine, that only covers Widows 7. Many people in this thread have reported the problem using Windows 8. Has that been addressed by Lenovo yet? Stability problems like this should NEVER be allowed to go so long without a resolution.
    Edit Note : This thread was created base from the previous thread "ThinkPad W530 with Windows 7 x64 Pro BSOD when connecting to projector. As we currently Cx reporting facing the same issue on Win8 I have seperated this thread in order not toconfuse other customer. For cutomers facing this issue please continue posting in this thread.

    Hi shan_mcarthur,
    Thanks for posting. I read through this thread again and noticed that most of customers here do indeed have Windows 7 installed as what the title represented unless I'm mistaken or may have missed out are you or anyone else here facing the same issue on Windows 8. If that is the case I'll be more than happy to bring this up with the teams but it will have to be a new thread though as I'd like to keep the resolution separate based on the OS use just to not confuse other customer .
    For those facing the same issue above on Win8, please do let me know so we can start a discussion around this.
    Do let me know.
    Regards

  • Moving desktop icons with Yoga screen rotation and Windows 8

    I have a Yoga 11s.  I have a bunch of desktop icon shortcuts and folders on my desktop as I rarely use the Windows 8 "tiles."  Unfortunately, when using the Yoga as a tablet, whenever the screen rotates, all my desktop shortcuts and folders move around.  Is there any way to get them to stay in place in Windows 8?  I realize that when one rotates the tablet around that the icons have to move around to accommodate the screen rotation, but when I rotate the screen back to the horizontal position, they don't return to the position they were in.
    Thanks!

    I did get a potential solution over on a Windows 8 forum.  Unfortunately the solution doesn't stop the migration of the icons.  It only restores them to their original position with a few mouse clicks.  I have yet to find a solution that keeps the icons from moving in the first place.
    I downloaded a program called Iconoid. When you first run the program, a little windows pops up.  You click on the positions tab, then put the dot in the selection that says "use relative positions for all resolutions."  You then hit the "save icon positions (relative)" button and now the program remembers where all of your icons are.
    When you rotate the screen and all your icons get messed up, you open Iconoid (in systray for me), go to that same "positions" tab, then hit the "restore icon positions now."  That moves all the icons back to where they were.  You just have to make sure that if you change your icons on your desktop a lot, that you hit that "save icon positions (relative) button once in a while so the program gets updated icon positions.

  • Power manager for Thinkpad t440 with windows 8.1 pro

    hello,
    I has just upgraded my Thinkpad t440 from windows 7 to Windows 8.1 pro. But i could not find Power Manager software to install in my laptop. I want  this software to manage my battery to ensure that it stop charging when 80% capacity. I think that it is useful for my battery.
    Someone could help me where i can get this software. I could not find in lenovo website.
    Regards,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Starting with Windows 8, the conventional Power Manager with charging thresholds is no longer officially offered.
    Here's a third party tool to set what you need:
    http://thinkutils.wordpress.com/download/
    You still need to have the requisite power management drivers installed for it to function properly.

  • Want to use SCCM 2007 to image thinkpad 10 with windows 7

    Hello,
    can someone tell me if
    SCCM 2007 can be used to build the thinkpad 10 tablet and if it can
    can I deploy a windows 7 x64 image to it and it I can
    where are the drivers as I can only find windows 8 drivers.
    I have build a Helix successfully in the past with windows 7 but I cannot get the thinkpad to work, what am I missing?????
    thanks
    Nazir

    Perhaps this page from Microsoft will help understand which versions of SCCM can deploy which versions of OS:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2909893/en-us
    As for the ThinkPad 10, I believe it only supports Windows 8.1 so there will be no Windows 7 SCCM driver pack for it.

  • Does Thinkpad T420 with Windows 7 home Premium support Windows 10 update

    Does the Thinkpad T420 running windows 7 Home Premium support the windows 10 upgrade? Also, my machine is very slow to start (3- 4 minutes). Will the upgrade to windows 10 help this issue?

    The T420 is not supported by Lenovo for Win 10. That doesn't mean that it would not mostly work, but it does mean that you will certainly have some 'adventures, along the way, and may find that some things just don't work with Win 10 - whether those things are important few you will depend very much on how you use your T 420.

  • Thinkpad E540 with Windows 7 drops Wifi constantly

    We just purchased 18 of these E540's and all of them are having the same issues in our network.  They connect connect wirelessly but while doing a continuous ping I see a Request time out or a destination host unreachable every 8 or so pings. 
    I have used system update to update everything on the laptop, I have also done all the updates for Windows 7 and I have det the BIOS to original defaults.
    I know there is talks of this "Lenovo EMC Storage Connector" causing issues with excessive traffic on windows 8.1 but we are dealing with Windows 7 64 bit and the process in question "discovery.exe: is not running nor present.
    Any help would be very appreciated.
    As a note I would like to point out that we have around 400 other wireless devices in our network at any given moment and we have not had any issues with any other prior Lenovo products.  As a matther of fact we just deployed 60 Lenovo N20 Chromes last week without any issues.
     Thanks

    The only way we could make this work in our envirinment (and we have a big High school with well over 500 wireless devices that work without any issues), was to have Lenovo send us some different WiFi cards, They sent us the Broadcom BGN 1x1, BT4.0 cards

  • Double tapping Outlook 2010 Calendar appointment does not open it in Lenovo ThinkPad Helix with Windows 8 Enterprise

    I've found out a strange behaviour of Office Professional Plus 2010 (SP1) calendar appointments in Windows 8 Enterprise touch screen device (Lenovo ThinkPad Helix): if I try to open the appointment by douple tapping, it does not open, but in many cases
    the appointment is just moved forward for half an hour. With normal mouse douple clicking works fine. Office SP2 does not fix the issue. So maybe this is not an Office, but Windows problem?

    Hi,
    It’s really a weird behavior. It’s not possible to write on the calendar items in Outlook by double tapping. Did this behavior change all appointments time or just the one you tapped on? Please log on the OWA and check if the appointment time changed there.
    Meanwhile, please try the following troubleshooting steps:
    1. Start Outlook in safe mode and check if the issue persists. (Press
    Windows key + R, type “outlook.exe /safe” in the
    Run box, press Enter)
    If the issue would be gone in safe mode, please go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable the suspicious add-in to resolve the issue.
    2. Try reset your calendar current view and check the result.
    Also try to change to another view (such as List view) and double tapping the appointment to check the result.
    3. Do you have any other calendars? If so, please check this issue in other calendars.

  • Problems with Window Screen Grabs?

    Hey,
    Any idea what the problem could be? When I screen grab a fullscreen window by typing "Command > Shift > 4 > Space" the resulting screenshot has the right hand edge cut off. Seems to happen in all apps. It only happens when an app window is full screen or maximized (or a little smaller - about 20px on each edge). Using Grab or Preview to capture works but those apps don't capture the alpha-blended window shadow.

    http://www.imgftw.net/img/428201741.png
    http://www.imgftw.net/img/199621762.png

    I'm able to reproduce the issue as well with images at full, or near full, screen.
    My guess is that OS X will only take screenshots as large as the screen resolution, and when capturing the window shadow it is adding ~30 px to the outside of the image, thus pushing it off the edge.

  • How to Restore thinkpad t61 with Windows 7

  • Why when I return to a document after leaving with the screen rotated, is it saved upside down?

    I am on an iPod Touch (4th gen?). I draw in Ideas and although the toolbar and screen don't rotate with the device, the preview and result DO save rotated. Why?

    On an iPod Touch (and iPhone), the toolbar does not rotate because there is not enough screen real estate to show them rotated. However, the orientation is still saved. So, if you rotate your device to landscape, then the idea file is saved as rotated.
    In general, on both iPod/iPhone and iPad, the idea file is always saved using the orientation you are last in. This provides you with a way to rotate your content, although there are arguably better ways to accomplish doing such a rotation that we have not implemented.
    Hope that helps,

  • New ThinkPad T530 with Windows 7 32-bit

    I am likely to order a laptop soon, but there are no options for a 32-bit OS for the T530 (and I'm guessing for any of the ThinkPad laptops). I need 32-bit Windows 7 Pro for some hardware and software compatibility. Does anyone have experience downgrading the installed 64-bit to a 32-bit? I've read that you can do it with the same Windows key, but I'm wondering if there are any driver issues - any hardware in the laptop that isn't supported for 32-bit.
    Thanks!

    Hello and welcome,
    Yes, you can clean install Win 7 and use the existing key - as long as it's the same version.  32/64 bit doesn't matter.
    Take a look at the driver matrix for the T530.  That will give you an indication of the 32-bit driver coverage.  At a quick glance, it looks complete.
    http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html
    [edit] I'd recommend burning a recovery media set for the machine before downgrading.  I'd recommend that in any case...
