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

  • ThinkPad W530 with Windows 7 x64 Pro BSOD when connecting to projector

    Hi,
    I have 2 identical ThinkPad W530 laptops model 244723G
    Both are set to discrete graphics from BIOS because with optimus driver my projector will not work at all.
    But how i have other issue that causes BlueScreen when connection laptop to projector.
    I have installed latest driver from Lenovo download site -> still BSOB when connecting to projector.
    When i install driver from Nvidia site it fixes BSOD issue with discrete graphics and external projector.
    Can same one else confirm that there is a error on Lenovo optiomus driver when using discrete graphics?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Would you mind posting the links to those drivers, or copying their exact name for us to search on the appropriate site(s)?
    I use a w520 (quad core/nVidia 1000 discrete graphics board) with a projector and anything that makes that smoother I have to consider. There have been posts about how to re-create the usual ThinkPad use of the F7 key for choosing projector view mode but I admit I have never been able to take the time (and risk of failure) to try the swap of internal files to make it happen. (Starting a project like that always makes me feel I have to have time to do the project and if it goes wrong re-install the OS and all updates -- all before the next time the laptop is needed for anything important. That condition is almost never possible.)
    Yeah, I know, I'm chicken! <grin>

  • Is the Creative ZEN compatible with Windows XP Pro x64 editi

    Hello, I recently bought a Zune and then found out it wasn't compatible with my OS, XP Pro x64. I installed the software on my laptop, but it was just too troublesome to set everything up and exchange music, videos, etc. between the two machines. So I've decided to return the Zune and get a Zen instead. I'd really like to buy the ZEN 8GB, but it does not state whether or not the x64 edition is supported. The ZEN V Plus states that the software does support the OS, so if I have to get that one, I don't mind. Thanks.

    CRe: Is the Creative ZEN compatible with Windows XP Pro x64 edition?H I recently bought a Zen 8GB mp3 player. I have an xp x64 pro OS. As soon as I tried to instal the included software from the CD, a dialogue box appeared stating, "The windows operating system running on this computer is not supported by this product." I have done everything the technical assistance group has suggested with the samed result including a clean install. I did load it on my 32 bit laptop. It works fine. ONe of the problems I have found is that the correspondance goes to a different person each time and they are not reading the dialogue. I have found a way to make it work (well somewhat) with my 64 bitg machine. Oddly enough thed software for my zen V load on fine but the software is incampatable with the Zen 8GB unit. I think that there are softwarfe problems and CT is not really dealing with them.

  • Lenovo Yoga with Windows 8 Pro, Office 2013 and Visual Studio

    For you developer types, I just wanted to post a message and let you know my experience with Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 as a development machine. I bought Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 from Bestbuy for $999.99. As expected, it came with a crap ton of bloatware installed by Lenovo.
    Here is a summary of what I did to it (I take no responsilibity for accuracy of below information. You are on your own if you decide to follow them. I am just putting this down from my memory so that I can look it up in the future if I ever need to do this again).
    INITIAL CLEANUP
    Installed Lenovo hotfix for partition cleanup/merging: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS033035
    Installed Lenovo Touchpad driver fix.
    CAUTION: I take no responsibility for below steps. I am writing them from memory and if you decide to follow them and end up making your machine unusable, you are on your own as Lenovo might not honor your warranty.
    BACK UP ENTIRE DISK (requires an empty USB flash drive for booting and another external USB drive for backup)
    Copied Drivers from D_Backup folder to the external USB hard drive (plugged into USB 3.0 port).
    Installed Paragon Backup & Recovery 2012 Free: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/br-free/
    Created Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive with default Linux recovery environment option (flash drive plugged into USB 2.0 port).
    Shutdown Lenovo Yoga.
    Plugged in the Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive (USB 2.0 port). 
    Pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS.
    In the BIOS, enabled Legacay mode and made Legacy high priority and saved the changes.
    The machine booted into Paragon Backup & Recovery mode. From there, made a backup of entire disk to the external USB hard drive.
    Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS. Turned off Legacy mode and switched back to UEFI boot mode and saved the changes and restarted the machine.
    Logged into the machine and verified that everything was good and checked the external USB drive to verify that the backup image was present.
    MAKE WINDOWS 8 PRO BOOT USB FLASH DRIVE (requires a second empty USB flash drive and a second computer with Windows 7. This USB Flash Drive has to be between 4GB to 32GB as Windows won't format 64GB flash drives to FAT32 mode)
    (Note: I installed Windows 8 Pro in UEFI mode. See http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/install-windows-8-usb.htm)
    You need a licensed ISO image of Windows 8 Professional Full version (not the upgrade version) from your MSDN or Technet subscription or create an ISO from the Windows 8 Pro full version DVD.
    Download Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool on the computer with windows 7.
    Plug in the second empty USB flash drive (has to be at least 4GB but less than 32GB) into the computer with Windows 7.
    Using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool and the ISO file, create the Windows 8 Pro bootable USB Flash drive.
    Create a new folder on your computer disk, for example, C:\WIN8USB.
    Copy all the files from your USB flash drive to the newly created folder (created in the previous step).
    Right click on the USB drive icon in Computer window and select “Format…” from the context menu. Make sure you select “FAT32 (Default)” in “File system” drop down menu. Click “Start” and wait till the drive gets formatted. This step is needed because NTFS is not readable by BIOS in UEFI boot mode. During formatting, MBR is preserved so the thumbdrive is still bootable.
    Copy all the files from the folder you created earlier (C:\WIN8USB, for example) to the formatted drive. Your Windows 8 installation USB drive is ready to install in UEFI mode.
    WIPE THE DISK PARTITIONS
    Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS, enabled Legacay mode and made Legacy high priority and saved the changes.
    Booted into Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive again. This time, I deleted all partitions on the primary disk (Disk 0). CAUTION: This WILL wipe your hard disk and will make your machine unusable!!! 
    Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS. Turned off Legacy mode and switched back to UEFI boot mode and saved the changes and shut down the machine.
    At this point, the disk is wiped clean. All factory installed software and recovery partitions are gone!!!
    INSTALL WINDOWS 8 PRO
    Plug in the USB Flash Drive with Windows 8 Pro install files.
    Windows 8 Installer would show the unallocated disk space. I can't remember the exact details but either I had to click on Delete or New to delete and then create a new GPT partition. The entire partition was about 119GB.
    From that point, follow the Windows 8 Pro installation steps.
    After booting up into Windows 8 Pro, plug the external USB drive that had the drivers folder backed up from D_backups.
    Install all the drivers from this folder (I was able to install everything except for one Intel fast boot one because of missing partition but my Yoga still boots up just as fast).
    Go to device manager to check and everything should be good now.
    Run Windows Update.
    You should now have about 101GB free on C: drive!!
    INSTALL VISUAL STUDIO, SQL SERVER and OFFICE 2013 ON LENOVO YOGA 13
    I installed the following in that order:
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition (I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
    Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
    Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Developer edition(I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
    Microsoft Visual Studio 2012(I installed all components, everything!)
    I ran Windows update and also installed Nov 2012 updates of SQL Server Data tools.
    I then installed Office 2013 Pro Plus.
    MAKE LENOVO YOGA 13 MORE SECURE
    Go to Control Panel and enable Windows Defender (it is included by default in Windows 8 and is anti-virus and anti-malware solution)
    Enable full hard-disk encryption using BitLocker feature of Windows 8 Pro. Since Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 doesn't have hardware TPM, you have to enable password based option. For this, follow the steps here: http://rics.partners.org/show_article.php?id=274. 
    Basically, you go to GPEDIT.MSC and Open Computer Configuration => Administrative Templates => Windows Components => BitLocker Drive Encryption => Operating System Drives. From the right pane double-click "Require additional authentication at startup. Select Enabled radio button and check the box for "Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM...". Click OK and close the policy editor. Then Right-click your C drive in the Computer folder, click Turn on BitLocker. Then select Enter a password instead of USB option. Then provide a strong password (make sure to write it down and put it in a SAFE place, if you lose the password, no one can boot into your hard disk). Then select Save to a file and save it to the External Drive. Select "Encrypt entire drive...", click Next. When this is done, you will get a pop-up on the lower-right a prompt to restart the computer. Restart your PC. Enter the encryption password created earlier. If you are successful in getting into Windows, you're all set.
    I also hooked up to Skydrive and used BoxCryptor to encrypt my files in cloud.
    The available free disk space should now be about 54GB.
    I verified that Lenovo Yoga 13 works like a champ with no slowdown with Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Server Management Studio open simultaneously and Bitlocker enabled!
    The keyboard right SHIFT key is small but other than that, it can work as a great portable development machine and Microsoft Reader is great for reading PDF eBooks.
    So if you are a Developer on Microsoft platform, go right ahead. Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is great for running Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 (1600x900 resolution is totally usable) while on the move. Since I have only had this machine for a few days, I can't tell much about the long term reliability.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you for posting this. I am in this exact situation. I purchased a yoga 13, and installed Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone. As it turns out, the Windows Phone Emulator ONLY works in a Windows 8 Pro environment. Since the Yoga doesn't have a disc drive, I shared my W7 computer's cd drive, then put in Windows 8 Pro, so that it could install onto the Yoga. Well, after the installation was done, I tried running my program again and ran into the same issue. It prompted me that my environment must be Windows 8 Pro! I thought that Windows 8 Pro already installed but, what confuses me is that I see no indication that Windows 8 Pro installed. When I go to the System Window, it reads: "Windows 8". Should it read Windows 8 Pro?
    Ultimately, I'd like to know, are you able to execute the Windows Phone Emulator? I'm not sure as to whether the Yoga has the hardware capability (needs to be SLAT enabled or something like that?), I HOPE it is able to, and judging by your post, it seems like it but I'd love to know your perspective on my approach.
    Please let me know if this makes sense, as I'm new to this kind of thing but really want to start development for Windows Phone.

  • T43 IBM Thinkpad, I installed Windows XP pro on a new harddisk, found no netowork

    T43 IBM Thinkpad, I installed Windows XP pro on a new harddisk, found no network,  so installed drivers for the chipset and network. Still no way to go on inernet.

    Hi guys and thanks for your help. Yes, after authenication and working on this Windows partition, I have less than 3GB space. Also, I cannot drag and drop files from desktop, like a text file into the Windows partition. Says it doesn't have permissions to drop files.
    It looks like now I will in fact have to start from scratch and repartition the HD but put in a minimal 12GB or so into the Windows partition. Also, I tried to name the Windows label, but it's locked and under get info, it says the Windows partition is read only, ownership grayed out and says it is NT coded format. Shouldn't that be MS-DOS or FAT 32 automatically?
    I have to tell all of you that this is getting time consuming, too complicated and when I get my own ProBook, I have no desire to install VISTA or MS whatever. Plus, we have to still do the MS security pack updates and install virus software for the Windows partition, isn't that correct?
    Is there a step by step link here like a BootCamp/Windows XP Pro installation tutorial so I can move a bit faster on my next attempt?
    Thanks SteveB

  • Adobe Reader v8.1.2 Compatible with Windows XP Pro SP3

    I need to know if Adobe Reader v8.1.2 is compatible with Windows XP Pro SP3.
    Thank you.

    I've been using Reader without any problems until yesterday when administrator installed Windows XP SP3. When I do a <Ctrl-P> to print, it takes about 30 to 90 seconds for the print requester to pop up. The program is locked up and not responding during the delay, although it does NOT say "Not Responding" in the title bar.<br /><br />While the delay is going, the SysInternals Process Explorer shows but fleeting milliseconds of Kernel or User time being used. Setting the priority from 8 to 13 made no improvement at all.<br /><br />I frequently print from the Reader and the delay drives me nuts! This hang-up needs to be corrected ASAP.<br /><br />I am sure it is a Reader incompatibility because it never happened before the SP3 update, the program is hung and doing nothing and everything works perfectly before and after the <Ctrl-P> is entered.<br /><br />Word or Excel do not experience similar problems. I just tried Notepad, and it sometimes hangs the same way but not nearly as long - maybe 10 seconds at the most and only the first time. After the first delay it pops right up. Adobe Reader hangs a long time every time.<br /><br />Any idea if Adobe is going to fix it or even knows the problem exists? Do they moderate or monitor complaints like this here or elsewhere?<br /><br />I don't want to think they know about it and are fixing it if they aren't.

  • Is the JDK (1.2.2) compatible with Windows 2000 Pro?

    Hi Friends!,
    It seems that the JDK - Version: 1.2.2 - is not
    compatible with Windows 2000 Pro. I know
    how to configure the kit in this operating system
    even if I'am not able to understand the reason for which
    I receive the error in the Command Prompt window - the JAVAC
    utility says:
    "Can't read: BigDebt.java - 1 error".
    I have added the following command line from
    the System Control Panel->System->Environment->System Variables:
    C:\jdk1.2.2\bin ( where I have installed the kit ).
    I also have added the CLASSPATH command line there:
    set CLASSPATH=.;C:\jdk1.2.2\lib\tools.jar but the problem persists
    and I'am unable to create the BigDebt.class file.
    To avoid another nervous wreck please send me the instructions
    to configure correctly the JDK (1.2.2) for Windows 2000 Pro.
    Thanks.
    Julian Jerman - from Italy.

    when you runs the java compiler like this
    javac BigDebt.java
    You need to be in the directory of your BigDebt.java file located.
    BTW, it is kind of weird that your java file is saved to System32 directory, there is no benefit doing that.

  • Fn+Spacebar does not operate Thinklight on W530 with Windows 7

     have a ThinkPad W530 running Windows 7 with all the current updates.  Until Jan 2015, pressing Fn+Spacebar would operate the Thinklight function with its three different modes.  After Jan 2015, Fn+Spacebar operates the "scroll down" function.  I've done a lot of research and cannot find a way to restore the Thinklight function to the Fn+Spacebar key combination.  I would appreciate it if anyone could offer any advice regarding how to re-enable the Thinklight function.  Thanks.

  • How can I copy bookmarks from my old computer to my new computer, both with Windows XP Pro?

    Transferring bookmarks from old computer to new computer, both with Windows XP Pro?
    Thanks for your h4elp.
    Also, can I create a file of bookmarks in MS Word or Open Office so that I can save them?

    You can export your bookmarks to an HTML file on your old computer, and them import that file on your new computer. The HTML file also is your backup, and if you open it into Word, you could save it as a DOC file if you prefer.

    Question is did you lock your Mac from Find my iPhone using iCloud or is the Macbook really yours?
    If you have in fact locked your Mac using Find my iPhone on iCloud then you will need to enter the PIN you have set when you locked the Mac.
    *If you have not iniate the remote Lock then someone else has used your Apple ID and Password to lock your mac.

    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.
