Upgraded to windows 7 = fan stopped working

Hi, I recently upgraded to windows 7, and when I did that my fan stopped working. So now when I'm playing a game I can play about 20 min before the computer shuts down because of overheating (I'm using a cooling plate, that's why I can play for so long).
I've upgraded everything on this laptop (including the BIOS), but the fan still won't work.
I hope that you can help me.
I have an lenovo thinkpad W500
Thanks for taking your time, I appreciate that
Solved!

Coincidence? After upgrading to 7 Pro, my W500 has been running significantly hotter and battery life has plumeted. I can hear the running. It's so hot that I can barely hold it...

Coldfusion 64 bit windows installer stops working after recent microsoft update

Coldfusion 64 bit windows installation stops working after recent microsoft updates and how I worked around it.
My question is at the end.
Trying to deploy coldfusion 9 enterprise 64 bit trial version onto a Windows 2003 64 bit datacenter OS with all OS updates from MS (as of 4-7-2011).
Steps taken (remember, this is all 64 bit):
1. Installed the base OS which was slipstreamed with SP2.
2. Checked w/ microsoft and installed 63 OS updates.
3. Launch the CF9 trial exe.
4. As soon as the first screen finishes (the one that looks like it is extracting files) then the second screen pops up (the one that simply says CF Adobe Coldfusion 9) and the progress bar quickly moves 95% to the right and the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.
5. After a moment of incredulous silence (and retrying/rebooting, etc), I started to google it. I found nothing. However, I did find a post (thanks dspent!) that was helpful in that it told how he was able to get at a log file of sorts, by pre-extracting the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file and launching the adobe_cf.exe by hand. (Dspent's install snafu was different than mine, but his post was very valuable and got me started in the right direction.)
6. Got a copy of rarunzipper and extracted the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file.
7. From the windows directory created by step 6, I launched adobe_cf.exe.
8. Same thing (the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.).
9. I examine the hs_err_pidxxxx.log file (where the xxxx is a number).
10. I see inside that file an ominous message: "A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime" then "Problematic frame ntdll.dll" and then "The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code".
11. OK, so now I am thinking ntdll.dll !! Native code !! It is like Java is telling me that for some reason it can't dance with the OS.
12. On a hunch, I decided to test a CF install again on a server with just the base install of W3K3 64 SP2 (ie: skipping step 2 above this time).
13. Bingo! That install works.
14. Therefore, one of the 63 patches I had downloaded from MS had triggered a problem with the CF installer.
15. Back on the first server (the one with the MS security patches installed and the one that CF won't install on). In the CF file adobe_cf.lax (one of the files extracted in step 6) there is a line that mentions where the install gets it's java. Find that file, and check java version installer is using. It is using 1.6.0_14-b08.
16. Off to the Java website, and there is a newer version of java (1.6.0_24-b07). Downloaded and installed it.
17. Modify a line in adobe_cf.lax :
   before
     lax.nl.current.vm=resource\\jre\\bin\\java.exe
   after
     lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\program files\\java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
(that assumes that you let step 16 install to the default location)
Save the file.
18. Run the install ... ** IT WORKS ** !
Obviously, the built in java provided with the CF installer is no longer compatible with some change introduced by some recent MS update on the W2K3 64b SP2 platform.
And now the interesting part. Although I forced the installer to used the new java, it did not incorporate it into the cf build (ie: in jvm.config, you still see c:/coldfusion9/runtime/jre AND the version of java.exe that is in that directory is the original version, not the newer version I forced the installer to use).
On the surface, CF seems to run OK, but I have not done any application testing yet.
And finally my
** QUESTION **
Would it be appropriate to simply point the java.home var to the new java directory? I see that the directory structures and files are not exactly the same (close though) so I certainly don't want to break things by doing this, but instinct tells me that if the installer broke using the older version, then something else is gonna break down the road if I don't use the new version. On the other hand, the differences in the directories and files is enough that it makes me very nervous, with my limitied java skill set, to make this decision.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Byron,
Wow great post no doubt much of the information will be useful for those on Win03 SP2 +. Have to say not come across similar problem on Win08 r2 SP1 +.
So to your question. Adobe security bulletin (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html) recommends running CF8 and CF9 with JVM 1.6.0_24. The bulletin does not say how to do that. I take you installed JDK and not just JRE 1.6.0_24? Post install of JDK follow these steps:
Stop CF - SERVICES.msc stop "ColdFusion 9 Application Server".
Take a copy of CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config - so you got a backup.
Edit CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config find line "java.home=" and comment it out eg:
#java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre
Add new line like so and save jvm.config:
java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_24/jre
Note there the slashes and the location of the JRE (runtime) - you need to point to the one in JDK because the other JRE in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 will be missing a DLL.
Start CF via SERVICES.msc.
HTH, Carl.

Hi we have a VDI environment with a link clone image for all users. Only one user(admin1) login to the virtual desktop got this error, ....windows explorer stop working and requires restart it. it is the same issue after restart it, change a PC, change another
VDI client version,always same issue. Tried other users with these pc and client and has no issue at all. All use the same pool,same snapshot and same image. Windows 7 32bit OS. also tried to delete the profile folder and let it recreate it , it's redirected
to a file server. the folder can be seen created,but empty inside. other user profile all ok. this user admin1 is a domain administrator. It's property in AD shows an extra "delegation" tab and all else look the same as other account. Since other
users ok, I believe it's not VDI issue, should be this windows user profile issue. any advice please?Thanks
Thanks and best regards, -- KF

Hi,
Please first take a try to run SFC /Scannow command under the user account;

GPU Fan stop working.

Hi Everyone,
I just bought this laptop HP Pavilion dv6-6009tx Entertainment Notebook PC a year ago, from my school's roadshow. Until recently, the fan stops working... my computer started to heat up real bad to around 70 degree celcius. I still have 2 year warranty for this laptop. Can I ask if hardware failure replacement is covered by the warranty? Cheers!
- Alan.

If the fan has stopped working HP will (should) fix it under warranty. Call them and report it.

Could it be a new work firewall associated with the upgrades? How can I resolve this?

Old GX660 fan stopped working

Hey,
I still use my old GX660 as a media center but the fan stopped working, since it's been a long time, easily more than 3 years I was wondering how I could get a new fan please... it's just that part that I need everything still works perfectly.

How much would this cost do you think, I found the fan on the internet and I'd pay less than 30€, I don't know if it's even worth sending it to MSI I'm sure they'll charge me for shipping (and return) + repair fees.

I've got an apple 3TB time capsule. It was working fine until we moved to a new house. The day the ISP showed up to upgrade my speed it stopped working. Now will not pick up signal. What happened what do I do?

What signal is it picking up? Are you joining wireless network? If so don't.. it is really poor way to run things.
Is it connected to a cable modem? Full router or just a modem type?
Try a reset?
Plug in via ethernet.. turn off everything.. wait 5min then restart cable modem.. if that doesn't work, give it a longer off cycle.. 15min or overnight.
We need more info.

Since i have upgraded to ios6 , internet stops working after a minute max , i have tried everything , my other ipad works fine on the same internet , and so does my iphone they are on previous software , please help me

please help me i have tried everything , like renewing lease , reseting network , etc etc , my other i pad which is on ios 5 works well , so does my iphone which is on ios4 , no matter what i do after a minute or 2 , it stops working , it automatically doesnt connect to wifi unlike my other devices, and i do it manually it works for a min and stop , device still shows connection to wifi
O and yes ! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Noisy fan stopped working

Ok i just had a slightly more angry post rejected by "the central scrutinizer"
But i've calmed down now....
The main issue was a noisy fan that has stopped working altogether this week. The computer can't be run without being placed on an ice pack or it overheats and shuts down.
What are the chances if any of getting the fans to work again?
The computer (a macbook 2ghz, mid 2006) is way out of warranty so i'd like some advice on fixing it myself.
A while ago it suffered a click of death Hard drive failure and i re-installed the original drive (it had been upgraded to 120gb by the engineers at Microlink UK)
Could it need a firmware upgrade to run the fans properly?

I fixed it myself today after finding excellent instructions at ifixit.com! The instructions were very clear and easy to follow with large images. Thanks for pointing me there.
I stripped the MacBook down to the fan and found it full of dust and fluff around the exit grille. More importantly, the fan mounting was basically distorted downwards so that the blades were against the floor and stuck there! A quick glance along the keyboard showed how bent it was so i did some careful "panel Beating" to get it back into shape.
I think the plastic had warped over time and this put downward pressure on all the components underneath, the extra heating of the blocked fans only made it worse. The keyboard is backed by a thin metal sheet so it would appear this had an effect similar to a bi-metallic strip.
Luckily the keyboard can be re-shaped quite easily. I'd advise care if doing this yourself as the plastic "rivets" can pop out with too much bending.
Now i've assembled the MacBook again it's running the fan (there is only 1) so quietly that it's barely audible at 4000 rpm and it's much more efficient.
I'm surprised it's not burnt out actually.

Bridge CS4 one Windows 7 stops working when trying to load pictures in a new file

Bridge starts fine but when i click on some files to see the pictures in there it stops working.
The message i get is:
"Adobe Bridge has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I had problems with my XP x64 and CS4 bridge too and after formatting and installing windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) i thought it would be solved ... but no such luck.
Any ideas what to do?
also not sure where to look for any error logging or something similar.
