Vista 64-bit on 3000 G530 4446-38U?

I'm a little bit dissapointed that 3000 G530 4446-38U laptop did not come with 64-bit operating system. In fact since specs listed 64-bit processor I assumed I would have a 64-bit operating system. I do have Vista Ultimate 64-bit, problem is there is no drivers for this 64-bit operating system.
Will lenovo release 64-bit version of drivers for Vista?
P.S. Signing of drivers is not necessary, since there are ways to make 64-bit Vista not check for signed drivers.

I was able to find drivers for everything but the touchpad device. I have been unable to determine the tech specs for the device or find a driver. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

BIOS update crashed G530 4446-23U Win 7 32 bit

I have installed latest BIOS upgrade from Lenovo and my laptop crashed. (June 24 2011)
Will not boot, Lenovo restore doesn't help, can't boot from Windows 7 DVD
Does anyone know of a utility to create a bootable USB (or disk) BIOS flash
to roll-back to a working version of BIOS?
Lenovo G530 4446-23U, no HDMI support
Operating system: Windows 7, 32Bit.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yeah.... Warranty .... Thank you!
This is a solution which actually works;
It was recommended by a brilliant friend who is not associated with Lenovo:
create bootable usb flash drive
here is a link to download wintoflash utility:
http://download.cnet.com/WinToFlash/3000-2094_4-10974471.html
Unzip 6get19ww.exe to the usb flash drive to a folder (for example C:\SOS)
boot computer from newly created usb flash drive (if Windows doesn't work, use command prompt)
locate an old bios file on a crashed machine. It should be name bios.bak
copy located file to another folder with the name bios.wph for example (C:\SOS\bios.wph)
run WinPhlash.exe from a folder (for example C:\SOS)
specify backup file for existing BIOS as bios1.bak
specify new BIOS file as C:\SOS\BIOS.WPH
flash BIOS
Everything WORKS!

G530 (4446-22G) unknown devices after Win7 installation

Hi,
I recently installed windows 7 ultimate 64-bit on my father's Lenovo G530 (4446-22G) laptop. In device manager I see 2 "base system devices" in yellow that are not recognized. Does anyone have any idea what those devices might be? I attach screenshot of the device manager both by type and connection.
Also, I installed the Energy Management for win7 64-bit but the Fn keys do not work. Any suggestions about this?
Thank you in advance.
Solved!

Hi, i believe your Lenovo laptop is abit older model. Pardon me. Try install this and see if it solves your Fn keys not working.

Lenovo 3000 G530 Gprahics Driver problem

i baught a new new laptop lenovo 3000 G530 with intel x4500mhd
installed vista ultimate x64
and donwloaded intel gma driver from lenovo support site...
but when i go for install it says " This Computer Does Not Meet the minimum requirements to instlal the software" with error mark

I had same problem. So what is wrong?
Actioly it is because that driver on Lenovo website is not x64... it is x32... so looks like your destiny is to install Vista x32. Because there is no x64 video driver at all!
N.B. I can say more - non of that drivers from Lenovo works good in x64 Vista... So i suggest you to install x32 Vista...
Also I wanna give you advise: after you install video drivers from Lenovo website update video drivers from this website: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers

ITunes v7.6 still NOT working w/Vista 64-bit

I believe it's not working because AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi WON'T install.
It gives me a "The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured." error.
Is there ANY WAY around this at all?
Also I've installed & uninstalled iTunes v7.6 multiple times now, rebooting between installs also but still no luck.
I've also extracted the 6 installation files out of iTunesSetup.exe and I'm trying to get AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi to install, but it just won't install.
When I start the iTunesSetup.exe package and finish installation, iTunes Setup Assistant also gives me a warning that says "iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs, you need to reinstall iTunes."
And under Event Viewer I see this "Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Apple Mobile Device Support. Product Version: 1.1.3.26. Product Language: 1033. Installation success or error status: 1603."
Help please! I would really like for iTunes to work with my iPhone!

Well at least up and til today, there never was a solution to activate or even synch Vista 64 bit OS, iTunes, and the iPhone - for anyone, anywhere - period. Not unless you used some VMware solution (which I've heard mixed results on).
This new version of iTunes (7.6) did today for the first time, correct the ability to burn CDs from my collection of music in iTunes. Before this version it wasn't possible.
My Mobile Device Support program did update and install correctly today along with the other apps that got updated. So now I wonder if it is truly possible to activate and synch with an iPhone?!? Anyone try this yet?
Cyanide regarding your install, I had to go through something similar back in one of the earliest versions designed for Vista 64bit OS. The trick is not only uninstalling, but removing all references in the registries, left over file folders, etc. after uninstall. Then begin a clean install.
BUT, it's entirely possible that the iPhone still is still not capable of syncing with Vista 64 bit.
If you think you've had this ability before, than I'm 99.9% sure you only have Vista 32 bit OS.

After rebooting my Windows Vista 64 bit system, could not access iTunes; after uninstalling I tried reinstalling, but it has been running for more than 24 hrs. Should I cancel installation?

I had been updating my Windows Vista 64 bit system and as a result of a problem, had to reboot my system. Afterwards, I was no longer able to access iTunes. I got a message stating that there was a problem with some of the files associated with the application. A phone rep at Apple's Customer Service provided me with emails linking instructions on completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. I did the uninstall, then checked for lingering iTunes files and couldn't completely remove some, but tried intalling the latest version of iTunes. It has been running for roughly 24 hours. The status bar is green all the way across, and when I try to cancel, I get the following message: "Are you sure you want to cancel iTunes installation?" I keep hitting "no," but am staring to wonder if there is a problem with the install. Should it take this long if I have roughly 134 gigs of music? I can still see the music in my computer's C drive, so I am worried that there is an error, perhpas because I didn't clear out all the lingering C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and all the lingering C:\Program Files\iTunes\. Any thoughts?

It is not just the HP. I have 3 HP computes and 2 Dell computers. 2 of the HP and 1 Dell suffer the iTunes internet block. Took me a while to figure it out also. But, the one thing that is different on the Dell, is that I can leave iTunes installed and not open it and everything works. As soon as I open it, internet access goes down. BUT secure sites (https:) works fine.

Windows Vista 64 bit service error on iCloud

I am running Vista 64 bit and trying to log into iCloud and everytime I do I get this message "You can't sign in because of server error" anyone got any ideas?

Hello, I think I can identify with this error. When I attempt to install or uninstall an update for the JRE, the error message pops up, notifying me that a DLL required for this install could not be run. I have successfully installed the newest JDK on my machine running 64-bit Vista, though.
I had an earlier version of the JRE (11) installed prior to this experience, but I could not find the corresponding folder for that install, whether in the Program Files or Program Files(x86) directory. Therefore I suspected that the uninstall failure could be attributed to Windows not being able to find an uninstall package. However, I am also unable to install a new version of the JRE (14), which is quite irksome as I am trying to develop a desktop application with Java.
If anyone has any solutions, suggestions or workarounds for this issue I would be immensely grateful! I had also tried using System Restore but to no avail.

Device not recognized in iTunes

Can't install itunes on windows vista 64 bit

I'm trying to install itunes on a windows vista 64 bit machine but keep getting the error message "could not access network location %appdata%\." Does anybody know what is the matter?

could not access network location %appdata%\
It looks like it's having trouble getting one of the iTunes preference files in. There's a couple in each user account (usually in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes and C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes).
Has a version of iTunes previously been successfully installed on that PC? If so, was it working properly prior to your doing the current installs?
What hard drive is your "Users" folder on? Is it the C drive or somewhere else?
If it's somewhere else, are your Program files also on that other drive or are they on the C drive?

Can I install win 8 64 bit OS on dv6936 laptop win vista 64 bit OS

I just purchased the HP Pavilliom 500 destop and would like to upgrade my laptop with desktop OS.
Can I install my hp Pavilion 500 PC win 8 64 bit OS on my hp pavillion dv6936 laptop win vista 64 bit OS

Hi Ibdman,
You cannot use the Pavilion 500 desktop recovery disks to upgrade the operating system on your HP laptop.
You would have to purchase either: a Win 8 retail upgrade or full install disc to change the operating system on your laptop.
If you are considering upgrading your laptop you should consider Win 7 64 bit instead of Win 8.

MBP 15,4" Early 2008 - VISTA 64-bit:Wi-Fi issue, BSOD issue, uTorrent issue

If you noticed following problems under Vista (64-bit and 32-bit) and/or Windows XP SP2/SP3:
- MBP looses Wi-Fi connection and can not login again to Wi-Fi router (restart needed to solve this)
- random crashes/BSODs/restarts,
- problems with uTorrent
you have a probably problem with stability OS and Broadcom 4321ABGN Wireless Network drivers 4.170.25.15 (bcmwl664.sys - check minidump file (copy from C:\Windows\Minidump to Desktop for example) using Windows Debugger available on MS website: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/Debugging/default.mspx
Issue is well known in other than Apple products:
http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/showthread.php?t=20091
Solution: to install 4.170.77.3 drivers available from:
http://www.station-drivers.com/page/broadcom.htm
http://www.x-drivers.com/catalog/drivers/wireless_networks/companies/broadcom/mo dels/index.html
If setup.exe does not respond install drivers from Hardware Manager (Update driver).
I did not notice described issue anymore after applying new drivers. This could be also a an issue between Broadcom drivers/OS and uTorrent.
