Win 7 Pro.. X60T TPM Driver, Active Protection NO GO!

BIOS has been updated to the latest release (1.15)
The TPM device is recognized in Windows, however there is no driver available for it.
The fingerprint software is installed and works fine; when going past the Power on password and HDD Password, however It seems not to work within windows. I can not find it "installed" under "ThinkVantage" or "Control Panel' either. The program is viewable in "add/remove" programs
Active Protection installs, reboot and nothing available!! It is present under "add/remove" programs but not under "ThinkVantage" or "Control Panel'
There are other issues, but the two above are the "most used" as well as the Screen Rotation.
All "on-screen" display options are working (volume, etc), however the rotation button and the screen "auto-rotation" is not. Got that going, auto-upate will not get MOST DRIVERS. Going to the driver matrix and installing what is available for "Win7" Helped in adding additional button/s functionality and getting the screen roation to work...now if I could get the other two!!!!
If anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated...
Currently own: X220T, X201, X200, T61 X2, X61T X3

Got the Active Protection working...I installed it three times...it is working now.
For the TPM...
I FORCED the install of this driver "Atmel TPM (Trusted Platform Module)". It can be found here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-58054.html
So far...so good (knocks on wood!)
EDT: I forgot to add! I tried to install the "ThinkVantage Client Security Solutions 8.21" for the TPM issue, it would error out during the install.
Currently own: X220T, X201, X200, T61 X2, X61T X3

  • Ibm hard drive active protection sensor problem

    i have a IBM thinkpad t41, i dun't know why it come out this message "ibm hard drive active protection sensor ", after that it come out ask me to type a password to log in. i never set password at notebook hard drive. pls help me~~urgent!! thanks!!

    I think you're right, that does not read clearly.  Furthermore, I believe it may contain an error or two.
    If you're installing tp_smapi from AUR (as the page implies), the PKGBUILD should already install the module to the correct location, meaning the build instructions ('make install HDAPS=1'), are redundant.
    I'd simply use 'makepkg' and  'pacman -U [...]', as usual.
    To load the module correctly, I have:
    /etc/rc.local:
    modprobe tp_smapi
    modprobe thinkpad_ec
    insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/hdaps.ko
    /etc/rc.conf:
    MODULES=([...] !thinkpad_ec !tp_smapi !hdaps [...])
    There is probably a cleaner way to do this, though the method described in the wiki results in several errors regarding "Unknown symbol" upon loading the module.  Could anyone confirm or improve upon the above instructions, so that the tp_smapi section could be brought up-to-date?

  • ThinkVantage Active Protection for Windows XP, Vista, and 7 missing from driver matrix

    Recently, while checking the Software link: http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/documents/ht037696
    I noticed:
    Active Protection System
    Like an airbag's sensor, it can detect sudden changes in motion and temporarily stop the hard drive to help protect your valuable data from some crashes that could occur due to everyday notebook accidents.

    Windows 8 (64-bit), 7 (64-bit), Vista (64-bit)
    09 Mar 2014
    v1.79.0.3
    If you try to follow the links to the ThinkVantage Active Protection System, you are presented with a document labeled: ThinkVantage Active Protection System for Windows 8 (32-bit) - Laptop or a document labeled: ThinkVantage Active Protection System for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) – Notebook
    No reference to Windows XP, VISTA or Windows 7 in the current version of the documents, yet the text file pointed to by the download links states that this driver still supports all the older ThinkPads and is applicable to Windows 7 and VISTA. The text file does say that Windows XP support has been withdrawn with this release, and that XP users should use the previous version. It does not, however, provide a link to any document or mechanism where an XP user can obtain the previous driver.
    So, is the document correct, or is the text file correct?
    Where is the current driver for VISTA and Windows 7?
    When I went to the support sites to see the supporting documents there, I discovered that the ThinkVantage Active Protection entries were gone from the R61, R500 and T500 driver matrices. The only reference I could find to the ThinkVantage Active Protection System was in the above mentioned SOFTWARE link.
    ThinkPad R61 8932-CTO T8300 2.40 Ghz 3GB RAM Win XP
    ThinkPad R500 2714-CTO P8600 2.40 Ghz 3GB RAM Win XP; Two ThinkPad R500's 2714-CTO T9600 2.80 Ghz 4GB RAM Win 7

    Still no change to the driver matrices.  ThinkVantage Active Protection is still missing. There has been a change in the web site, as follows:

    So now there are numerous separate entries, but none of them claim to support any 'legacy' machines. Most of the above entries point to the same driver (at present).  The puzzling aspect to all this is that if you read the text documents that accompany most of the above driver packages, you will note that the text document claims that the driver supports quite a number of legacy machines. That information just never made it to the web page.
    So do I manually update a driver because the text document says it is applicable to my legacy R500, or 'believe' the web page which states that only some current models are supported, but not the R500, T500 or R61.   
    Very inconsistant and highly unprofessional.

  • ThinkVantage Active Protection System Dissapeared after Win 8.1 Upgrade

    The ThinkVantage Active Protection System dissapeared from my ThinkPads after upgrading to Win 8.1.
    I was going to reinstall it from the Lenovo ThinkVantage page but the Win 8 64bit version is not available for download.
    Oddly enough, the 32bit version is available.
    Is this a temporary situation?  Will there be a Win 8.1 version?
    Can someone from Lenovo explain what to expect?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK, Active Protection 64 bit for Win 8.1 is now available for download and working great!
    I guess I panicked and was thinking that Lenovo would quit supporting this excellent tool (It has happened before)!

  • Thunderbolt audio distortion during heavy Thunderbolt hard drive activity on MacBook Pro Retina 15 2012

    I have a 2012 MacBook Pro Retina connected to a Thunderbolt Display, with Thunderbolt hard drives attached to that. Whenever I'm doing a big copy, or a Time Machine backup, any audio being played through the speakers becomes heavily distorted. If I switch to internal speakers, it's fine (but obviously not high-quality). As soon as drive activity quiets down, audio is fine again.
    Anyone else having this problem and/or know of a fix? It's super aggravating to have to change speaker settings every hour when my backup kicks off!
    Thanks!

    I believe this issue is caused by bad ground coupling between the two devices, some of the induced charge can spark between connectors in the thunderbolt port causing computer to basicly freeze.
    To solve this issue try touching the connectors outside metal part to your macbooks body first to discharge it, then while plugging int the connector do it at slight angle so the metal of the connector touches Mac's body.
    This method has been working for me.

  • I want to install windows7 on my 27in iMAC. I have an OEM version of Win7 which is win pro 7, 64 bit english.  I will use boot camp to partion the hard drive for a win7 install.  Can I use this version for the installation ??

    My iMAC is a 2011 3.4 GHz intel i7 based with a 27in display.  A year ago, I bought a Microsoft win pro 7 64-bit english OEM OS to install over a newly assembled AMD PC.  I never installed it.  Now, I want to put it on my iMAC using either Apple Bootcamp or Parallels.  The win 7 OEM package has a lot of verbage about using an OEM preinstallation kit (OPK) and that it must be preinstalled on the hard drive.  Is it OK to install this win7 version following the Bootcamp instructions.?

    Please post in the Boot Camp (not Bootcamp) forum I'm sure someone there can answer your quesiton if no one here is able to.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - Closing Causes Extended Hard Drive Activity

    This issue started after a year or more of clean running and automated Adobe updates.  My installation is up to date according to Adobe.
    Dell Precision 4300 laptop, 4 GB RAM, Windows XP Pro, all patches etc. up to date.
    The problem I am seeing only occurs when I attempt to close Acrobat.  Using Windows Task Manager to obtain some of the details, the summary is as follows:
    View a 200 KB single page PDF document.
    Shut down Acrobat (simply closing the document and leaving an empty instance of Acrobat open doesn't cause any trouble).
    Acrobat window remains open for a protracted length of time, hard drive is active constantly.
    At this point, Task Manager shows acrobat.exe using 28 MB of memory and this number remains constant while the window is visible on screen.
    Acrobat disappears from the screen.
    Hard drive activity continues, but now Task Manager shows the 28 MB of memory ramping up.  It eventually peaks and holds at 336 MB!
    During this time, the I/O Read and Write associated with the Acrobat.exe process continues to climb.  In this test, the final number is 1,100 MB and 700 MB respectively. Seems a little extreme for a 200 KB PDF!
    The acrobat.exe process eventually disappears from Task Manager and the hard drive activity ceases.  This takes a couple of minutes and happens every time I close Acrobat!  I have got into the habit of simply leaving an empty window open, or killing the process via Task Manager.
    If I try to do a shut down of the system immediately after closing Acrobat (while the drive is still working hard), I will get a warning that acrobat.exe isn't responding, or sometimes, that font capture isn't responding.  If I wait, the process eventually completes on its own and the computer shuts down.
    I have tried the 'repair installation' option in Acrobat.  No joy.  None of the other CS4 applications seem to have this problem... Photoshop just closes without any drama.
    Ideas?

    I have the same problem of HDD activity after closing any pdf file, whatever the file size.
    I'm done with adobe acrobat..
    This is not only the problem.. I installed the Acrobat 10 and I found that I cannot modify the toolbar by drag and drop and I cannot add the (properties) bar to the main toolbar (or even the buttons of the properties bar), So the properties bar still floating and when i resize the acrobat window or dock the window to the left or to the righ i have to move the properties bar over the screen...
    In Pro9 the properties bar can be a part of the main toolbar, BUT sometimes the properties bar goes disabled and I have to close the Acrobar and reopen it to return the propeties bar enabled again. So, it seems to me adobe acrobat solved the problem in Pro10 by not allowing adding the properties bar to the the main toolbar...
    Recently I solved the annoying options dialog box by renaming some plugin files!!
    Why the Adobe Acrobat takes 2G of HDD space!!!..
    Now I moved to Nitro PDF Professional software and it has all the Acrobat features of editing, viewing, drawing...etc and it takes less than 100M of my HDD...and this what Corel PDF Fusion do as well. The Corel PDF Fusion has the highlight text, editing text and page actions..etc but it doesn't have the drawing feature yet, maybe because it is v1.0 in 2011
    tens of new PDF sofware in the market... Wake Up acrobat team...

  • ThinkPad X60 Replacement Hard Drive - Will free fall sensor work with Active Protection System?

    I plan to replace the OEM hard drive on my ThinkPad X60 with a Western Digital Scorpio Black drive. I found a board posting on Scott Mueller's Upgrading and Repairing Forum site that seems to indicate that APS will work with this drive. Here is my question: Is there any point in purchasing the drive with the free fall sensor option? (This is more expensive than the drive without the sensor.)  Will this provide any additional protection above and beyond the Active Protection System. Will the internal free fall sensor in the drive be compatible with APS?  In other words, should I buy a Scorpio Black with or without the free fall sensor?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum!
    If I were buying a replacement drive, I'd get one without a sensor, but that's me.
    Having seen way too many laptops that have gone through a real "free fall" I'll say that a damaged hard drive in such an event is usually the least of one's problems...
    Good luck.

    Hi Eugene-Verne,
    While installing Windows from the CD, did you set SATA AHCI to Compatibility mode in the BIOS? If the answer is yes then the hard drive connectors on the laptop may have been damaged due to the fall.
    Additionally, you can try running HDD diagnostic program from the BIOS to see whether it is even being detected by the BIOS.
    Hope it helps.

  • Windows 8's new Chkdsk and drive activity after scan

    Hello,
    I have some questions regarding the new Chkdsk in Windows 8 (I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit).
    Please note that Windows 8's Chkdsk has changed considerably since the previous Windows versions; so if you know about the Chkdsk in Windows 7 or previous Windows versions, this could not apply to the Chkdsk in Windows 8.
    I also point out that I'm talking about the GUI version, accessible from the drive's properties Window.
    My main questions are: when Chkdsk has finished scanning, and the results window appears, can I at once proceed with the following, or should I wait some time:
    1) In case of an external USB drive, disconnect the hard drive (with “safely remove hardware”, even if the cache is turned off), and turn it off.
    2) In case of an internal drive (HDD or SSD), reboot Windows, or turn off the computer.
    My worry is that if I would disconnect a USB drive, or reboot or turn off the PC in case of an internal drive, before the Chkdsk-related activity is finished, then the file-system of the disk in question could get damaged.
    My doubts come from the following facts:
    - I have been told that when the Chkdsk results window appears, this means that Chkdsk has finished working with that drive; but I have noticed that some short drive activity is happening some seconds (about 6) after the results window appears (should be a
    write activity, not sure if also read activity). I noticed this by observing the LED on my USB drives, and also by monitoring the drives in question with Windows 8's new Taskmanager.
    - In case of disconnecting USB drives, I have been told that I can be sure that if some drive activity is happening, then the “safely remove hardware” feature won't have effect, and would warn me that there is disk access going on; but I have tried to select
    “safely remove hardware” while Chkdsk was in the middle of a scan, and the result was that Chkdsk got interrupted (with an error messsage appearing probably from Chkdsk), and the USB hard drive got removed. Though this seems not to have caused any file-system
    errors (I did another Chkdsk scan later).
    You may think that I just need to look at the drive's LED, or monitor the drive's activity with the new Taskmanager, and take note of after how much time the drive activity ceases. Then I would just need to wait so long before disconnecting the USB drive, or
    rebooting or turning off the PC.
    My problem here is that I'm not sure if the new Taskmanager, or the drive's LED, are sensible enough to detect even the smallest disk access, which could get unnoticed. I'm not sure how much I should wait... seconds? Minutes? What do you think? Perhaps there's
    no need to wait at all?
    I did some tests by disconnecting (with “safely remove hardware”) a USB drive shortly after doing a Chkdsk on it. Then I did another Chkdsk after turning it on again. I didn't get any error message from Chkdsk. But I'm still worried that there could be an unfortunate
    moment, during which a disconnection (still with “safely remove hardware”) could cause problems, perhaps because in that moment a write operation could be in process.
    I think I have read that the new Chkdsk in Windows 8 uses VSS (“Shadow Copy”) to check the drives while keeping them online. With this new Chkdsk, I think it is possible to continue using the drive while the scan is happening, even on the system drive.
    I was thinking about this: is it possible that the short activity which I have noticed after Chkdsk's results window appears, comes from this Shadow Copy Service, which is “unmounting” (?) the shadow copy used by Chkdsk?
    If this is true, is it important to let the “unmounting” task happen, or can I disconnect, reboot, or turn off before it starts? And what happens if I interrupt this “unmounting” task in the middle, while it is in process?
    What do you suggest? Am I being too worried, even paranoid?
    Does it make some sense to wait some time after doing a Chkdsk, or can I at once proceed to disconnect the USB drive, or reboot or turn off the PC (in case of internal drives)?
    Thanks.

  • What are the pros and cons using Active Data Guard vs Data Guard?

    My understanding is that Active Data Guard is an additional database option for Oracle 11gR2 Enterprise Edition. I need to know the pros and cons using Active Data Guard vs Data Guard in order to decide whether to get pay extra for the Active Data Guard.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hemant K Chitale wrote:
    Before jumping in to Active Data Guard, one needs to evaluate :
    a. Is there really a need to run queries on the Standby ? The Standby could / should be at a remote site so queries are "across the network". Depending on the nature of the queries and the volume of output, the "performance" of the queries may not seem to be the same.
    b. If the database is not in Maximum Protection mode, the data "seen" at the standby may not be in "real-time" synch
    c. Not all applications are truely read-only when querying. Some applications use "jobs" that write to tables when querying. Such would not work with Active DataGuard. (example : EBusiness Suite). There are very complicated ways of handling this -- and one needs to consider if the complications can be introduced and supported.
    Over the network accessing standby read only is really not an good idea, I think no one will compare performance with primary and standby,
    But some of them they want to validate data which are very critical, as it is matching with primary or not, Its an added advantage with ACTIVE DATAGUARD
    Prior to that until unless stop MRP, open database and then we need to validate, So there is an interruption of recovery, I can say its also an advantage where there is no interruption of recovery.

  • Active Protection 'abnormal sensor status'

    Hi, I'd really appreciate some help. I have just replaced my x61t hard disk (due to hd failure) with a WD Scorpio Black 320 gb.
    I installed Active Protection, and it worked OK for hours, but then suddenly it said that it was disabled because the 'system detected abnormal sensor status'. This has happened twice, and each time the laptop was sitting unattended on a table and wasn't moved at all!
    The notification recommended doing an AP test using PC Doctor for DOS, but this can only be run from a floppy drive, which I don't have right now. PC Doctor for Windows does not have an AP test function.
    I'm worried that this might be connected with the previous disk failure, though I did not get an AP error message then.
    Only one other person I can find has reported this error, but with no response from anyone.
    Can someone please help me? Is it possible the AP software conflicts with anti-shock protection already built in to the Scorpio? I don't want another disk crash!!!
    Many thanks,

  • Previous versions of drivers; Screensaver Install; Active Protection Icon

    Hello,
    I'm having a few issues and was wondering if someone could offer some assistance. I have a X200 which is running Vista 64-bit OS. I just completed a clean install of Vista-64.
    Issue #1 (old *.scr file) - Is it posible to run my old Lenovo screensaver post-install? I saved it as a *.scr file to an external hard drive before deleting everything but the file will not work on my clean system by just copying it over into the appropriate folder. I get an error messasge when trying to preview it from within screensaver options. Does anyone have an excutable version of the "Think" screensaver (circa 2009/2010)?
    Issue #2 (Previous versions of Lenovo drivers) - In the past it seemed to me that installing new drivers on my system has caused certain components to stop working correctly. For example, after an update to the audio last year, I lost sound to my external speaker and just had audio when plugging in headphones. Does anyone know where I could find previous versions of drivers on a reputable website? Specifically, does anyone have a copy of a previous version (circa 2009-2010) of the Conexant Audio driver/software for Vista (64-bit) for the X200?
    Issue #3 ("ThinkVantage Active Protection") I installed this software and it is working normally. However, although I've selected, "Show active protection icon on the system tray" the icon is not displayed and I would like it to be displayed. Does anyone know what the problem may be? This happened to me before and I think I had to roll back the driver but I cannot do this right now since this is a new clean install.
    Thank you very much for any help you may be able to provide.

    hi.

  • Active Protection causes computer to lock up

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my X61 tablet. The Thinkvantage Active Protection System causes the computer to lock up every time it is moved. It freezes and a hard reset is required.
    I am virtually certain that the active protection system is at least part of the problem. The lockups occur when the computer is moved, and you can see the icon in the task bar indicating that the active protection has kicked in on the frozen screen. I turned off the active protection system and it has not locked up since.
    I've had the tablet for almost a year and although it has occasionally locked up, the problem has just in the past few days become severe: now it locks up whenever it is moved even a little bit -- a severe shock is not required to trigger it.
    A google search gave me a couple forums where people proposed that the problem was due to the interaction of active protection and Intel Turbo Memory, but I disabled my intel turbo memory and the problem remained. There was also a proposed solution involving hybrid hard drive power saving mode, but I have that diabled, and in any case the problem occurs when the computer is plugged in.
    Does anyone know what the problem is? Is there a fix? Obviously I would prefer to have the active protection system running.
    Thank you. 
    Update!
    Just got the lock-up even with the active protection disabled. So it appears I was mistaken -- possibly a hardware problem? Maybe I'll try reposting over in the x group instead of the thinkvantage group after some more tests.

    Yes ther is a problem vith Active protection system. 1.62 ang got lot worse when i upgraded HDD to Seagate Momentus 5400.6 (500GB) = ST9500325AS... Fix is to unstall ActiveProtectionSXystem until is fixed.
    (it was better with old drive Hitachi 160GB, but it not usabele with new one more locups per day, Notebook in not usable in a car any more, as wont iven completly boot until a freeze ....) Firs i tought i bought defective drive, but drive should be ok...
    (removing turbo memory tid not fix the problem)...
    it supports Unload capability, but there is som huge incompatibility with TV APS software.
    When can we expect new release of APS ?
