Thinkvantage Tools Program - Edge E520

Hi,
I bought Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E520 with Free DOS, afterwards I have installed Genuine Win 7 Professional.
So after installing all necessary drivers I started to install Thingvantage programs (Access Connections, System Update, Active Protection System...)
I was wondering is there a utility that combines all together in a single menu? Something like Lenovo Thinkvantage Tools is mentioned in the Manual but I can't seem to find it on the web.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hey Ante,
yes the ThinkVantage Toolbox can be considered a utility that combines all in a single menu. Currently on the website this particular software is missing and we apologize for that.
We are getting the link up as soon as possible. In the interim period you can use this instead : http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS014950

Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools PASSWORD ISSUES WITH OUTLOOK

Hello!
The ThinkVantage Password application is completely interfering with my Outlook work email address. Even the technicians with the Fortune 100 company that I work for say that ThinkVantage is "obtrusive & messy". My ThinkPad Edge is built for business yet it can't carry out elementary tasks...
Since there seems to be no way for my Outlook and ThinkVantage Password to co-exist... I would just like to know how to disable ThinkVantage Tools, without having to uninstall the program.
Thank you very much.

ThinkVantage tools don't work anymore on X201

Hey Guys,
I got a serious problem with my x201 and unfortunately I don't know since when.
Whenever I want to start a thinkvantage tool (Powermanager, access connections, lenovo gps, etc) I got an errormessage from dw20.exe which sounds like (translated from German): "The command 0x76f4c819 points on memory 0x3be0370c. Was not able to read". The only tool which is executable is fingerprint reader (out of sysconf).
What could be the reason?
Further I got to mention that these tools although appear in the taskbar! Which means I can see battery monitor, AC monitor and I can even use fn+f5 to switch on/off the individual wireless devices (BT, WWAN, WLAN). But as soon as I double click on a symbol on the taskbar to lets say start access connections I got this message described above!
What I already did:
Uninstall all lenovo thinkvantage software. Reinstall the newest version of all of them.
Later I thought dotnet framework could be the reason, because it says that lenovoupdate needed framework 2.0.
So I tested it with framework 4 and framework 2 running - nothing changed.
My system:
Lenovo X201 (3626)
Intel Core i5
4GB Ram
Kingston SSDnow V100 128GB
Qualcomm Gobi2000 WWAN and GPS card
Win7 Professional SP1
It's very annoying because I cant use my WWAN card anymore.. Everything worked fine until, I don't know, maybe some Win7-Updates changed the system??
thanks for any help!!
Andy

In my opinion, Microsoft .NET Framework is not needed. But i don't know, whether you have a program installed, which depends on it. .NET Framework 4 can be kept, because more and more programs use it.
How to check, whether Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 is installed?
Run Controlpanel - Programs and functions
Click on "Activate/deactivate programs and functions" near the left border
"Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1" must be checked
if unchecked, mark it and follow the instructions

Edge e520 i5 UEFI/GPT Dual boot Windows/Ubuntu

Hi!
I have an Edge e520 1143GVG. It has an UEFI-Board with Win7/64 on MBR-Harddisk.
What I want:
GPT-Partition scheme and dual boot Windows 7/64 and ubuntu 14.04/64.
I managed to backup the partitions on an external HDD, install GPT on Harddisk, recopy saved Partitions and have now a fully running Win7/64 on GPT-System (it wasn't that easy as it seems here).
Next Step is to install Ubuntu on a separate Partition. I took a standard Ubuntu boot-CD, startet the pc with that boot disk (Board-Settings: UEFI/BIOS "Both", UEFI First) and installed Ubuntu without any trouble. Unfortunately no boot entry has been generated, so I tried to add one with EasyBCD. That doesn't work, an error is shown like "Windows cannot be startet, no valid file /NST/grub.mbr" or something like that.
I think the reason is that the cd booted in BIOS Mode, not UEFI. If I set board setting to "UEFI only", the boot CD will not start. So I built a bootable Ubuntu USB-Flashdrive with GPT-Scheme, but it didn't start as well.
After that I updated BIOS hoping UEFI-Boot from external devices will be possible then. It isn't.
The e520-board seems to be outdated or faulty, it is not possible to boot from USB or CD in UEFI-Mode.
Does anyone knows a solution? Will Lenovo update the BIOS?
kr,
Bernd Hollermann, Germany

I have to update my problem:
booting in gpt/uefi-mode is impossible from usb-key, but is ok from DVD. I managed to install Ubuntu now, everything runs well, after I took a 64-bit version on a dvd.

Standard Tool / Program to Change the Workflow Status

Hello,
I would like to know if there is any standard program to Change Status of the Workflow from IN PROCESS to ERROR. I know that there are Standard SAP tools using which we can restart the Workflows that are in ERROR Status. But for changing the Status of the Workflow from IN PROCESS to ERROR, I've not come across any tools / programs. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Venkata Phani Prasad K

sorry correction ..FM SWW_WI_CALLBACK_CHANGE_S can be used to correct the status without any check.
I came across this issue where a dialogue workitem was logically deleted in order to remove it from the user inbox. Later an incident was created that the work-item is still needed to perform the rest of the workflow action. The solution should have been to complete the work-item by executing the terminating event of work-item or complete the work-item manually(SWIA). But instead some one performed logical deletion.
so in order to revive the workflow i needed to change the status form logically deleted to ready status. for this i found this FM which successfully changed the status form logically deleted to ready status. It though lost the agent assignment but i forwarded it manually to respective user.

Transferring OS from HDD to SSD using ThinkVantage Tools?

Hi everyone. I recently purchased a ThinkPad T420 from Lenovo and an mSata SSD (80gb) off Newegg. I installed the drive properly and my computer recognizes the drive, etc. Now, when I bought my ThinkPad, I didn't purchase a physical copy of Windows 7 because when I go to college next year, I'll be able to get a super cheap copy (like 7 dollars). So I'm stuck with the problem of getting my operating system from my factory installed HDD to my self installed SSD. How would I go about doing this?
Things I have:
-External Hard drive
-CD-RW discs (made one into a Rescue and Recovery Start Up Disc using the Rescue and Recovery software)
-ThinkVantage Tools
-Patch for Rescue and Recovery
Should I be doing this using Lenovo's built in tools? Also, I was wondering if/how/when I should partition my SSD for my OS. I don't have any experience doing this, but I've read that it's pretty important.
Thank you! I'm still learning, so I appreciate your patience :]

There are a couple of ways to do this, depending on what you want to accomplish. Do you want the OS install on your SSD to be the factory image - as it was when your laptop came out of the box - or do you want a snapshot of your machine at the time you swapped drives (actually just before you swapped drives)?
(obviously, you do either of the below with the original HD in the machine.)
For a factory config, in addition to that Rescue and Recovery start-up disk, you need the full factory recovery media set. You should see an option to burn that set of DVDs in R&R. Whatever you do, it's a good idea to burn these and keep them handy. Once you have the full set, install the SSD, and boot the first DVD. You should then be able to install the factory image.
For an "as-running" image, plug in your external HD. You can choose to put the R&R bootable rescue media on the HD, or you can just use the CD you already made. If you make the HD bootable and it already has data on it you want to keep, watch out for a "preserve existing data" checkbox. Then just save a backup to your external HD. Install the SSD, boot the CD or external HD, and do a restore.
I don't know about the current generation of machines and R&R, but it's been my observation that a full restore from backup restores everything _except_ the factory image in the Q: partition. You will have your full OS and everything you've installed, R&R capabilitites (from within Windows and at boot time) but you will not have the boot time option to restore your machine to factory state from the Q: image. That's what that factory optical media set it for.
If you use the factory media set you burned to set up your SSD, you will have everything including the Q: full image, but of course you will have to reinstall anything that you added to the HD yourself.
You can also do this kind of thing with Acronis, and other utilities. One thing though, if you use a cloning process instead of a backup and restore, make sure that the SSD ( or any target HD or SSD you or another reader is using) is in the ThinkPad when you do the clone. For some reason TPs are very fussy about this. Cloning to an external device, then moving it to the TP generally doesn't work.
Here is andyP 's excellent write-up on using Acronis for this: Hard Drive Clonewars
Re SSDs, there may be things you should do/have to do to get full performance and keep it healthy. I can't help you there.
Good luck,
Z.

2. press ShiftCtrlAlt these 3 buttons on your keyboard , do not
release these 3 buttons and launch Photoshop Element.

A small window will appear for asking you to choose yes or no [ you may

4. choose yes when it ask you to delete preferences.

When PSE goes whacky the first thing to do is to reset the preferences. Quit the editor (quit PSE if on a mac), then restart it while holding down CTRLALTShift (CommandOptionShift on a mac). Keep holding the keys till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

[SOLVED] UEFI shell won't work on Thinkpad Edge E520

Hi there,
I have installed the x86_64 UEFI Shell 2.0 on my Thinkpad Edge E520 which is already booting in UEFI mode using refind-efi for some time now. The same shell is running just fine on my desktop system.
But - on the Thinkpad it doesn't run. The shell is installed as /boot/efi/shellx64.efi and when I start the laptop, refind appears and shows me the shell icon (amoung others). But when I choose the shell from refind I get a black screen with this writing:
Starting shellx64.efi
Using load options ' '
ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status = Device Error)
ASSERT c:\dev\edk2tip\Build\Shell\RELEASE_VS2005\X64\ShellPkg\Application\Shell\Shell\DEBUG\AutoGen.c (431): !EFI_ERROR (Status)_
I don't know if the text is going on after the last underline. If yes I cannot see it because the text is running out of the screen.
The funny thing is - exactly the same setup is working pretty nice on my Asrock ITX board but not on the Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E520.
Any ideas? Just say, if you need further information.

Okay, found the - somewhat obvious - solution myself. The UEFI Bios on my Thinkpad is an "old" UEFI 2.0. So, Shell 2.0 won't work on this system (as I could have read in the wiki ).
Now, I have installed Shell 1.0 and I can enter the shell from refind .

Jump list Thinkvantage Tools disappeared

I have an X301 with Win 7 32b. The first day it came, I noticed the icon of Lenovo Thinkvantage Tools (3 red spheres), and its jumplist (right mouse click), wich tracks the system foders recently visited.
So I started using it, listing my most used folders in this jump list.
Today the list disappeared without reason. I did no update or whatsoever.
The same happened months ago with the jump list of Adobe Acrobat, and this was never solved (luckily my company upgraded to Acrobat X).
Has someone suggestion to solve this issue?
Thanks and Regards

Sorry, I just found a solution , which with Acrobat did'nt work.
Here it is:
- Open Windows Explorer .
- Type or copy and paste the following into the address bar: %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
- Identify files that are comparatively larger in size than the rest of the file, such as files that have file size of 1 MB or more.
- Delete the abnormal file.

Automated tool/program to monitor webi report status

Hi
I want an automated tool/program that gives data which reports are failed and which reports are success for the following
i have reports where the failure or success of the report instance matters.
i have report where the reports will be placed in the file server with destination details.
i have some reports where the PDF output will be sent to users.
How to do this?

Hi Farzana,
Why can't you use the native mechanism we have in CMC for notification of the status of scheduled report. Whatever be the destination you set, you can keep your mail id in notification tab while scheduling for all failure instances so that you will get the update in your mail.
If you are so particular about an application for fetching this information, you will have to get it from audit database by some custom coding.
Regards,

How the get rid of Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools

Hi
Has anybody an idea how to get rid of Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools in Windows 7? This stupid software doesn't have an uninstaller.
I am really angry that Lenovo provides software in 2010 that can't be uninstalled cleanly from a system.
Gerhard
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Has anyone on Lenovo team knows how to properly uninstall "Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools"? I just received the NEW 2 desktop M91 series for our company to test wether it is suitable for us. But this annoying "thinkvantage tools" conflict with our System Centre Essentials and Symantec softwares. I had uninstall the tools in the control panel but still the application link still appear on the start up menu. If I right click the application link on the start up menu the properties of "lenovo ThinkVantage Tools" is listed below.
C:\Windows\explorer.exe ::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\2\::{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A}\Provider%5CMicrosoft.Base.DeviceDisplayObjects//DDO:%7B00000000-0000-0000-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF%7D\cat{8AA6B0C2-14A6-4da8-BF36-F7D93ACE9ACE}
I want this application completely remove from the system and NOT just on a single profile. I call Lenovo Support here in Australia and the Tech claims that there's NO TELEPHONE SUPPORT available for this product. I am VERY frustrated considering that I recommend this product to be rolled out here in our company but I guess I have to re-think that again considering the SUPPORT is VERY POOR.
