ThinkVantage Toolbox no uninstall file

Hi, can anyone please assist...
I want to uninstall ThinkVantage Toolbox from my Win7 machine but it is not listed in Add/remove programs and there is no uninstall file in the PC-Doctor directory folder.
Is there anywhere on this site that I can download the Toolbox file in order to reinstall it and replace the missing uninstall file... or alternatively does anyone have instructions to manually uninstall the program?
Thanks for you help

I have PC-Doctor installed (Lenovo Thinkvantage Toolbox) on Win7 x64.
(1) I find it in add/remove programs (programs and features) as Lenovo Thinkvantage Toolbox.
(2) I find a uninstaller.exe here:
C\Program Files\PC-Doctor\uninst.exe
(3) You could also try microsoft mr. Fixit.
http://support2.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall
There is also a Lenovo Thinkvantage Tools. This is a panel interface to run other utitiles. It is not PC-Doctor.

ThinkVantage Toolbox - Update fails

Laptop = T61
OS = WinXP Pro SP3
ThinkVantage Toolbox v6.0.5514.61
Automatic updates is on - when it runs unattended, I get the following error msg in an untitled Windows dialog box:
"The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)"
Windows Task Manager shows that the program "pcdrcui.exe" is running (v6.0.5514.59). I have to manually terminate it.
Anyone know what's going on and how to resolve?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can render.

Hi DCB,
After doing some search on Google, the error which you are receiving could be caused by .Net, Could you try uninstalling the .Net then reinstall it again and see if it helps.

ThinkVantage Toolbox Won't Start/Hangs

Recently on my new x201 with Windows 7 x64 the ThinkVantage Toolbox won't start, it just locks up. Eventually Windows tells me it is hung, and checks for solutions but doesn't find anything.
I have tried uninstall/reinstalling the version from the website with no change. (File name: lttsetup_60551460x64)
I searched the forum and saw problems with account names that have spaces, but that isn't my problem. (Single word username, no spaces.)
Downloading the installer from http://web.lenovothinkvantagetoolbox.com/index.html#top didn't help.
Since it won't start I can't use the update option inside it to get an update, what can I do? (Not that I am sure the update would resolve my problem.)

I ended up doing a complete system restore, letting LTT update to the .61 version and then applying the Windows 7 updates and it is working again. I sure hope I wouldn't have to do that on a normal basis.

ThinkVantage Toolbox error message remains

I had a HDD error 3 months ago, thus changed the HDD and mirrored all data to it (including the files that had been in bad sectors). The next time I started the Toolbox System Check, it got a HDD error again. So I ran checkdisk and afterwards the toolbox again and everything went fine since then. I rechecked several times since then, no more problems appeared.
However, the Toolbox keeps showing me error notifications because this one test 3 months ago went wrong, even though everything is fine since then. Anyone an idea how to fix it?

Kindly uninstall the ThinkVantage Toolbox and reinstall it.
The issue will resolve.
Best Regards,
Tanuj

This Version of Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox is not licensed to run on this system (**bleep**)?

I have a 3 week old W510, Windows 7 64-bit, i7 Thinkpad. Over the Chritmas holidays I was able to start exploring the software that came loaded on the machine. One of these was the ThinkVantage Toolbox which I accessed at least 2 or 3 times to explore the programs and what they had to offer. It worked fine and I was able to view the different offerings inside the toolbox.
Two days ago I used the Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools "Update and Drivers" to find updates to the the machine. It found some updates (I'm not sure of each and everyone but they seemed reasonable) and downloaded them all to bring the system up-to-date.
Today I tried to access the Toolbox and was greeted with a License Authentication Failed message box with this message:
"This Version of Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox is not licensed to run on this system".
I assume it was something in the recent updates that did this. I have only installed a couple other photo editing pieces of software since then that I doubt would have any effect on this.
I certainly can do a system restore back to before I did the updates, but I'd rather not since a) the updates for the most part appeared to be needed and were successful, b) I'd rather not have to update those things that have auto-updated (like Norton and Super Anti-Spyware definitions), and c) I'm not sure restoring will help, not to mention re-installing the other pieces of software that successfully installed.
I have been a good doo-bee poster and searched this forum and other web resources and while there is reference made to some solutions for this, I didn't fully understand them so I figured I would ask here for help before trying anything. I do have Lenovo phone support but trying here before calling them.
Thoughts anyone? Should I simply download the latest ThinkVantage Toolbox software and install it? If so, should I uninstall the version I have now?
Looking for any assistance anyone could render.
Thank you.
Jim

Hi again Jim,
First of all you're welcome!
I have another suggestion for you, it might successfully help you in updating Toolbox to the current version, but for this I'd suggest that you first create a restore point just in case the advice fails. Once created a restore point, launch ThinkVantage Toolbox, give it a minute to completely load/run quick tests etc, thereafter click the green colored question mark -> check for updates, once it finds the latest version, let it download and install, I'm hopeful you won't run into any issues via this approach.
Keep us posted.

ThinkVantage Toolbox - Error when opening

I took the ThinkVantage Toolbox update per the recommendation -- now, the Toolbox icon shows up in my toolbar -- but when I try to actually run the toolbox program, I get the system error message: Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox has stopped working.
The toolbox program continues to operate behind the error dialog box until I click on the "close program" button.
I can't fathom what is making it report that it has stopped working -- any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

ThinkVantage Toolbox does not run after BIOS update

Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update Tool on my T410 ThinkPad (2518EWG) offered me download and installation of ThinkPad BIOS Update Utility US version 1.28-1.11.
Since then, whenever I try to run Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox I receive a message: „This version of Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox is not licensed to run on this system“.
I notice that the ThinkVantage Toolbox still shows the old BIOS No. 6IET49WW (1.09), while the updated BIOS is 6IET68WW (1.28).
Any comprehensible instruction how to solve the problem for a computer layman will be much appreciated. Thanks - Jan

I have at least found out why this happened, the program obtained from Toshiba automatically 'attempts' to upgrade the BIOS upon activation. This means that the program engaged with errors without my authorisation. I don't find this very impressive from a company as large and powerful as Toshiba.
Also it may be possible to fix myself if the BIOS installation instructions made sense, extracting the .zip file does not create three sub folders and pressing the F12 key does not start the laptop.

How do I remove extra Thinkvantage Toolbox listings in the toolbar?

I have 3 Thinkvantage Toolbox listings in the windows toolbar area, and I would like to get rid of the two extra listings. Does anyone know how to do this? I am using Windows XP

Hi Woronick and welcome to the Forum,
Go into Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs and look for Lenovo Thinkvantage Toolbox. See how many are listed in there. You should be able to uninstall them from there. I would Uninstall them all and then download and install a new one from support and downloads to insure that you have the current one.

Thinkvantage toolbox not responding | T510 Windows 7 64 bit

HI,
I am using Lenovo T510 with windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. The thinkvantage toolbox used to work (i.e, come up an display, scheduled tests of hard drive and other components etc). Recently, probably for last two weeks, whenever I try to launch the toolbox using the blue button on my keyboard, the toolbox is invoked but then it becomes frozen and just stucks. It can't even pick up BIOS, warranty information and my cursor shows busy/working symbol when i place the cursor on it. Finally, aftre 30 mints or so, I get a message that it has stopped working properly and need to send some message to windows etc and only option thereafter is to close it down. All other things work properly but i am jus tlittle worried what could have damaged the toolbox. few days back i got a message in my windows action centre that lenovo access connection didn't work properly last time and i solved it by re-installing lenovo access connections software from lenovo website. i guess, after that, this new problem of toolbox not coming up is ocurring.
Will be helpful if the forum can suggest a way out. thanks!
Regards,
Kalyan

Hi,
this sounds to me like a corrupt registry, or unregistered library files of the Toolbox aplication.
Coul you please test the latest version, that can be downloaded from following link:
http://web.lenovothinkvantagetoolbox.com/index.html#top
This is the version "6.0.5551.02"
Let me know, if this changes anything.
Cheers

Thinkvantage toolbox - How to disable

I have a new X120e that came with Thinkvantage Toolbox.
This tool is offensively in the way.
1. It starts with Windows and sticks a HUGE icon in the system tray. It can be disabled while running, but the settings do not stick and it shows up again upon the next start.
2. It launches pop up windows just like a virus does.
Can this tool be PERMANENTLY disabled, or must I uninstall it?
Thank you for your assistance. I will happily uninstall it if that is the general view.

there's a thread about your issue #1 here:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technologies/Thinkvantage-toolbox-toolbar-keeps-coming-back...
There's no real solution for the icon coming back, but there are some work-arounds.
There never will be a real solution for this issue, because toolbox has gone end-of-life.
My opinion? uninstall it and never look back.

Thinkvantage Toolbox Error on Edge 11

Whenever I activate Thinkvantage Toolbox to check system status of my EDGE 11, the error message always appears on my screen saying " DEVICE DISCOVERY ERROR, YOUR SYSTEM WAS BUSY PERFORMING OTHER TASKS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT INFORMATION. IF THERE IS AN ERROR, RESTART APPLICATION OR IF PROBLEMS PERSIST, RESTART SYSTEM".
FYI my ThinkVantage Toolbox is currently version 6.0.5717.37 sitting on Win 7 Home basic OS.
can anyone assist to solve this problem? thanks

ThinkVantage Toolbox running constantly

I have ThinkVantage Toolbox installed on Windows 7 64 bit OS, and the laptop is W500. The Toolbox runs constantly. The version is 6.0.5082.25 - Which is the latest.
I always cancel it, and keep it in cancled state, as as soon as I close the application, it will run over and over again. It has become so annoying that I plan to uninstall it, if there is no solution. Looked through the forums, and the web, saw one posting, but no answer. Any suggestion?

hey kourken,
could you uninstall all ThinkVantage softwares that you have on your unit and then reinstall all of it.
at the same time could set in MSCONFIG , diagnostic startup only. And in this state, see if the same issue occurs.
