ThinkVantage Active Protection for Windows XP, Vista, and 7 missing from driver matrix

Recently, while checking the Software link: http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/documents/ht037696
I noticed:
Active Protection System
Like an airbag's sensor, it can detect sudden changes in motion and temporarily stop the hard drive to help protect your valuable data from some crashes that could occur due to everyday notebook accidents.
Windows 8 (32-bit), 7 (32-bit), Vista (32-bit), XP, 2000

v1.79.0.3
Windows 8 (64-bit), 7 (64-bit), Vista (64-bit)
09 Mar 2014
v1.79.0.3
If you try to follow the links to the ThinkVantage Active Protection System, you are presented with a document labeled: ThinkVantage Active Protection System for Windows 8 (32-bit) - Laptop or a document labeled: ThinkVantage Active Protection System for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) – Notebook
No reference to Windows XP, VISTA or Windows 7 in the current version of the documents, yet the text file pointed to by the download links states that this driver still supports all the older ThinkPads and is applicable to Windows 7 and VISTA. The text file does say that Windows XP support has been withdrawn with this release, and that XP users should use the previous version. It does not, however, provide a link to any document or mechanism where an XP user can obtain the previous driver.
So, is the document correct, or is the text file correct?
Where is the current driver for VISTA and Windows 7?
When I went to the support sites to see the supporting documents there, I discovered that the ThinkVantage Active Protection entries were gone from the R61, R500 and T500 driver matrices. The only reference I could find to the ThinkVantage Active Protection System was in the above mentioned SOFTWARE link.
ThinkPad R61 8932-CTO T8300 2.40 Ghz 3GB RAM Win XP
ThinkPad R500 2714-CTO P8600 2.40 Ghz 3GB RAM Win XP; Two ThinkPad R500's 2714-CTO T9600 2.80 Ghz 4GB RAM Win 7
ThinkPad T500 2241-DB9 T9600 2.80 Ghz 4GB RAM Win 7
ThinkCenter A63 5237-CTO 3GB Ram Win XP; A21m and a pair of 380XD's

Still no change to the driver matrices.  ThinkVantage Active Protection is still missing. There has been a change in the web site, as follows:
Active Protection System

So now there are numerous separate entries, but none of them claim to support any 'legacy' machines. Most of the above entries point to the same driver (at present).  The puzzling aspect to all this is that if you read the text documents that accompany most of the above driver packages, you will note that the text document claims that the driver supports quite a number of legacy machines. That information just never made it to the web page.
So do I manually update a driver because the text document says it is applicable to my legacy R500, or 'believe' the web page which states that only some current models are supported, but not the R500, T500 or R61.   
Very inconsistant and highly unprofessional.

  • ThinkVantage Active Protection System Dissapeared after Win 8.1 Upgrade

    The ThinkVantage Active Protection System dissapeared from my ThinkPads after upgrading to Win 8.1.
    I was going to reinstall it from the Lenovo ThinkVantage page but the Win 8 64bit version is not available for download.
    Oddly enough, the 32bit version is available.
    Is this a temporary situation?  Will there be a Win 8.1 version?
    Can someone from Lenovo explain what to expect?

    OK, Active Protection 64 bit for Win 8.1 is now available for download and working great!
    I guess I panicked and was thinking that Lenovo would quit supporting this excellent tool (It has happened before)!

  • Thinkpad L430 Error Msg: 2000 thinkvantage active protection sensor diagnostics failed

    One morning after I shutdown my laptop to leave for work and start it up again on the train. It gave me the: 2000 thinkvantage active protection sensor diagnostics failed. Everything is working fine. Is there a fix for this?
    Edit: I realised this is in the wrong section. Can someone help me move this please? Thank you. 

    No, it happened for the rest of the day, even when I turned on the computer at work on my desk.
    I restarted the laptop numerous times and it still gave me that message with the couple of loud beeps.
    I believe it is fixed now, though I believe there is 75% chance I have found the reason. I just tried restarting it twice and I wasn't getting the message anymore.
    I recall that the previous night, my laptop attempted to update my MS Office 365 but for some reason that update failed. I turned my laptop off and it wasn't when I was on the train the next day that I got the 2000 error message. I used my laptop as usual, nothing but MS office programs. Later that night I did a system restore, but that didn't fix the program, however my office update succeeded. As I cannot think of any other factors, I believe this could have been the reason.

    Regards,

    Hi,
    Quote:
    All editions of Windows Server 2008 R2 are 64-bit only.
    Reference link below(session Supported upgrade paths):
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd379511(v=ws.10).aspx
    And based on MS official description about system requirement for Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, we may find out that they only has 64 bit OS.

  • I use i-tunes on Windows network using Windows 7, Vista, and XP. I now get an error on the XP machine the library was created on a newer version of I tunes, yet apple update on that machine say all up to date.

    I use i-tunes on a Windows Network with pc's using Windows 7, Vista, and XP. After recent Apple updates the XP machine says i-tunes library created on a newer version of i-tunesand does not load. The Apple uppdater on the XP machine returns all software up to date. How do I get the XP machne to recognise the library?

    For general library squiffiness following an upgrade or crash the easiest thing is to restore your last backup, but I guess if it were that simple you wouldn't be here.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these andcopy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    PS There is also a new iTunes build to download today, so might be worth getting that. A new iTunes should always load an older library file.

  • Jabber for Windows 9.1 and WebEx Voicemail Tab

    Guys
    we are using both Jabber for Windows (9.1) and WebEx connect clients. both connect to WebEx cloud services. when we use WebEx connect we have all features including voicemail but when we use Jabber for Windows there isnt any voicemail option at all present.
    both are doing phone integration and everything else is working fine.
    Now when we do the same for our andriod tablets we have the option for voicemail.
    i  understand that there are several feature differences but based on the searches ive been doing, voicemail should be present and i havent actually seen anyone having this problem. Note, this is using WebEx not CUPS.
    i know im probably missing something completely here.
    thanks again

    Do these users all have a conferencing profile assigned to them in CUCM (9.0) or CUPS (8.x)?

  • Cisco Jabber for Windows in Extend and Connect mode and making outbound calls

    Hi guys,
    I've set up Cisco Jabber for Windows to use Extend and Connect to control a remote PBX endpoint. I've configured the required CTI-RD device, remote destinations, associated the users to the line and added the devices to end-user controlled device. The extend and connect part is working flawlessly without any issues. I'm able to receive inbound calls on the remote PBX endpoint and control the call (hold, resume, transfer etc.) using the Jabber call window that pops up.
    However, I'm unable to make any outbound calls via the Jabber client when in extend and Connect mode. Reading the Extend and Connect guide, I need to configure Dial Via Office (DVO) Reverse. So when the user initiates a Dial-Via-Office reverse call, CUCM calls and connect to the Extend and Connect device (CTI-RD). CUCM then calls and connects to the number the user dialled and finally connects the two call legs.
    After attempting to configure DVO-R for Jabber for Windows in Extend and Connect mode following the CUCM feature services guide, i'm unable to get any outbound calls working. From RTMT, i am receiving the following Termination Cause Code: (27) Destination out of order. What i also notice is that there is no calling number for that trace either. I would've thought that the calling party would've been the Enterprise Feature Access (EFA) number.
    Has anyone got this working or can provide some guidance?
    Thanks.

  • SCM update for Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 R2

    Hi,
    When are we likely to get an update to SCM for Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 R2?

    Hi
    you must add these lines in ZTIGpoPack.wsf (for MDT) and LocalGPO.wsf (for LocalGPO), and for MDT 2013, copy ZTIGpopack to Deploymentshrare\Scripts
    sOSVersion = oEnvironment.Item("OSCurrentVersion")
                If (Left(sOSVersion,3) = "6.3") and oEnvironment.Item("IsServerOS") then
                        sOS = "WS2012R2"
                        oLogging.CreateEntry "Using Windows Server 2012 R2 GPO Pack", LogTypeInfo
                ElseIf (Left(sOSVersion,3) = "6.3") and Not(oEnvironment.Item("IsServerOS")) then
                        sOS = "Win81"
                    oLogging.CreateEntry "Using Windows 8.1 GPO Pack", LogTypeInfo
    Regards
    Thanks for this, but you also need to update the GPOPack.wsf in (each relevant) template folder of the Deployment Share like this:
            If(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.3") and (strProductType <> "1") then
        strOS = "WS12R2"
            ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.3") and (strProductType = "1") then
        strOS = "Win81"
            ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.2") and (strProductType <> "1") then
        strOS = "WS12"
            ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.2") and (strProductType = "1") then
        strOS = "Win8"
    As ZTIApplyGPOPack calls GPOPack.wsf.
    (Which is what I think Scorpio92 probably meant when you said to edit LocalGPO.wsf...)

  • ITunes 11.0.4 for Windows keeps restarting and removing my set-up and preferences

    iTunes 11.0.4 for Windows keeps restarting and removing my set-up and preferences every time its shut down and re-opened, how can I stop this?
    All of the music (etc) is still there but I need to agree to the terms and condition of the 'Software License Agreement for iTunes for Windows' every time I open iTunes.
    Once opened there is no personal set-up, such as side menus and how the lists are set-up (e.g showing album images, music listed in ‘most played’ order,etc etc) I know how to re-do all of my settings, Its just getting very annoying now.
    Anyone know how to stop this or at least why It is doing it?

    I found why it defaults back to the wizard. I noticed in  C:/users/(User)/AppData/Roaming/Apple  Computer/iTunes/iTunesPerfs.xml file is deleted from this directory upon  exiting iTunes. When I manully restore this file itunes starts with my  correct settings. Why the .xml file being deleted I don't know. iTunes is deleting the file when you exit so I guess there is just a bug.
