What kind of VGA hardware do i have?

i have a t530 and it is a work computer.  i don't think the drivers were set up properly with this unit.  i am trying to use sleep mode, but it is grayed out.  i was told to check the device manager and i notice there are several odd things here.
1. 2 "standard vga graphics adapter" drivers (i tried to auto update one of these drivers, and it changed one to "nvidia nvs 5400m" driver.  i'm not sure that this thinkpad has an nvidia 5400?  it still also lists 1 "standard vga graphics adapter" also.
2. pci serial port, pci simple communications controller, sm bus controller, and USB controller are all listed as "other devices," seemingly without drivers.
everything works fine on the laptop, except the sleep mode.  i looked in power settings and that option is completely missing, so from what i have read, i believe the problem is that my graphics drivers are not up to date.  by the looks of the "other devices," i may not have updated chipset drivers altogether.
since it's a work issued unit, i'm a little intimidated by trying to install things, but perhaps this is a very easy solution, i.e. uninstall both video cards and reinstall the correct one...however i don't know what the "correct" vga driver for the t530 is.
thanks for any help.

Why don't try the ThinkVantage System Update program to automatically look for drivers?
And have you installed the Intel graphics? If your machine has Nvidia Optimus you also need to install Nvidia driver.

  • HT2498 how do I find out what kind of fire wire port I have on my desktop? I want to transfer video from my camcorder.

    If you have Firewire 800 it's a boxy looking port, the Firewire 400 is thinner and has a arrow looking shape, you can get a adpater.
    FW800 is simply FW 400 x 2, so the adapter gives you FW 400.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Community.
    You need the Apple VGA Display Adapter. This is for video-out to an external display. It will not get you the audio.
    If you want video out to a TV, it will require a different adapter.

    The role for a coherence node is normally determined by the application. The tangosol.coherence.role system property is used to configure this value. Some out-of-the-box Coherence applications. CacheFactory (com.tangosol.net.CacheFactory) sets this value to CoherenceConsole. DefaultCacheServer sets this value to CoherenceServer. MBeanConnector sets the value to TangosolNetMBeanConnector.

  • What "kind" of Mac Pro do I have

    Would anyone mind helping me understand what "kind" of MacPro (early, late or whatever) I have and how all of this may or may not affect how memory is recognized by WinXP through Leopard?
    Is there an issue here in terms of the difference and if so, what is it exactly?
    Also, will these issues be the same in terms of Windows 7 when it comes out?
    Lastly, I was looking at buying a MacBook mostly because I want a small profile computer for office related tasks while on the go, even though I should be buying something that will accommodate more ram if I wanted to run my professional software on it.
    Are the same kind of issues involved in what kind of MacBook or MacBookPro I buy?
    Much thanks,
    Jonathan
    P.S. If I can get this information without the kind of low-grade insult and hostility that the guy with five boxes gave me on my earlier posts on this, that would be super.

    Open the System Profiler in your Utilities folder. The machine information will include information such as the following:
    Model Name: Mac Pro
    Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
    Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Total Number Of Cores: 4
    L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
    The information after Model Identifier will tell you which generation and the model within the generation. 1,1 means first generation, first model; 2,1 would mean second generation, first model. The Early 2009 (newest) model should be 4,1. There have been thus far four generations: Mid 2006, Mid 2007, Early 2008, and Early 2009.
    All Intel Macs are similarly identified.
    The currently made MacBooks can accommodate at least 6 GBs of RAM, although the Unibody MacBook Pro is supposed to accommodate 8 GBs. However, I don't know that anyone has reported they have successfully installed 8 GBs.
    If your work requires FireWire ports then you will need the White MacBook or a MacBook Pro. Unibody MacBooks do not have a FireWire port.
    Oh, and I'm the guy you insulted not the other way around. You simply have a problem listening.

  • What kind of a G3 do I have?

    Sorry if I'm overlooking the obvious, but I can't figure out what kind of Mac this is.
    I've recently come into possession of a PowerBook G3. It has two 64MB RAM chips, PowerPC G3 400MHz processor, and a 6GB HD. It boots up System 9.1 (I haven't seen a pre-OS X operating system in a looooong time). It does not have firewire. There's an Apple copyright sticker on the bottom that says 1999.
    What do I have and what is it good for?

    You have the PB G3 Lombard model http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbookg3/stats/powerbook_g3400.html It's capable of running Panther 10.3
    With a HD of only 6GB, there's not much you can do with it.

  • What kind of function(s) (in dlls) have to be call by a Labview application to be able to manage the PC's power supply

    Assume that a Labview application is running on a PC. The PC has a DC battery. When a "power off" is detected on the AC line, data should be saved, Labview application and Windows should be closed.
    What kind of function(s) (of which dll) should be called by a Labview application to realize this data and system management in a safe manner ?

    UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) systems can send messages to the PC through the serial port when the AC is lost and when battery is low. I'm not sure how this message is sent but I suspect they use Windows Messaging. If you could find this out, you could write your vi to constantly look for this message and shutdown when it sees the message.

  • What kind of net connection should I have for a DataGuard system?

    I want to construct a DataGuard system on 3 PCs( all with the RHEL5.0 OS and just for test purpose). But I don't know what kind of connection should I make between the 3 PCs? Shoud I use a router?
    Thank you for any answer.

    You don't really need a router for this testing.
    a simple back to back connection would work.
    or a hub even.
    routers tend to get more expensive.

  • Internal power - what kind of molex plug do I have/need?

    Hi all!
    A quick question that I haven't been able to find the answer to:
    Like so many others, I recently lost the 1900XT graphics card in my 1st gen Mac Pro (it's toast).
    I replaced it with a flashed PC card - the 4870 (1 Gig).
    Since I have a flashed PC card, I guess I'm not totally confident that it will control it's own fan speed accurately, since it's not meant to run on a Mac, and I don't want to lose another card to excess heat (the card seems to get REALLY hot really quick, but I never paid much attention to how the air was coming from the 1900XT, so I don't have a good basis for comparison)
    So my question is two-fold:
    1. Do I have any reason for concern, or is a flashed card going to monitor it's own temperature fine, and adjust the fan accordingly?
    2. Is the extra PCI-slot fan I bought at a local PC shop necessary, or even compatible with my Mac Pro? It seems to have a huge molex connector (around 1 inch - the "old" kind apparently) while my Mac Pro seems to only have smaller molex... Do I need an adapter to put this thing in?
    Can you tell I'm paranoid to lose another video card to heat? I don't have the $$ to do this again...
    Thanks for your help!

  • What kind of software protection should i have

    This is my first MacBook Pro, before I have owned PC's.  I used name brand software forprotection.  I would like to know if there is one for Mac.  Which onewould be the best one to use?  I havenoticed that my system is a bit sluggish. I would like to protect it the best way possible.  Thank you in advance for the people whoreply. 

    I'm not suggesting a move to Windows. I don't recall making any such remark. It would do everyone well to read Mac Virus Guide by our own resident expert, Thomas Reed and Klaus1's user tip, Viruses, Trojans and Malware - Prevention and removal. There is also an interesting discussion here in the Lounge: Stop the "There are no Mac viruses" nonsense.

  • Z61t - so what kind of socket do I have?

    Machine type is 9442-89u.  And ajkula66 has suckered me into getting a new CPU for it.  But what kind of CPU socket does it have?  Oddly, I can't find this in Lenovo documentation.
    Or, maybe a better question...  How did you know the processor I have?  I suppose knowing that would help know the socket type, wouldn't it?  Hmm. 
    OK, well.  Looks like I must have a Intel Core Duo T2400 processor.  Which might tell me something.  Only it doesn't, I don't think.  They can take a 478, FCPGA6, 479 from what I see.  Sort of.  Only I don't see.
    Sigh.  What kind of processor can this take?  How can I find this information on my own???
    Any help appreciated,
    c

    Take a look at this:
     http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_Core_2_Duo_(Merom)
    The way I understand it, you can definitely use T7400 and quite likely T7600...
    Hope this helps.

  • What kind of layout is this?

    I am starting up a website at VisualizeEdits.com and I really like this website theme and would like to make mine similar but make it better.
    http://www.demo1.diaboliquedesign.com/4/
    What kind of layout does this website have? I noticed that the navigation (metro style) should be the header for every page.
    When I opened up Dreamweaver, it allowed me to choose a template type such as
    ASP JavaScript template
    ASP VBScript template
    ASP .NET C# template
    ASP.NET VB template
    ColdFusion template
    HTML template
    JSP template
    PHP template
    I'm just trying to get my home page started with some html and css. Then add some Java, php, and mysql for the login/registration.
    Is there a certain template I'm suppose to choose? If it doesn't matter then what kind of layout should I choose?
    I also mention this website on my help blog.
    http://blog.visualizeedits.com/website-help/

    Actually, about six years ago, before I took the Lynda.com courses on DW and CSS, I learned a LOT from downloading those templates and "playing around with them".
    I learned how to "float" columns, got a basic understanding of margins and padding and the difference between them, and I think the biggest was how to lay out an inline block navigation menu.
    I also found some really cool scripts like Nivo slider, Piecemaker, and of course Lightbox, which I've since replaced in my pallette with Fancybox.
    Some of those templates are very basic, and some are downright "cheesy", but they make for some good example of how to (and how not to in some cases) do basic CSS design. The first website I ever sold was a redone version of one from freecsstemplates.com. In a comparison between the original and mine, you wouldn't know they came from the same basic layout, but that was the point. Not to use someone elses design, but to take the framework and make the page my own. Once I could do that, I started writing my own CSS and webpages from blank documents.
