  • X301: SSD and TV Active Protection System

    My X301 came with pre-installed Samsung SSD 128 GB and Think Vantage Active Protection System (TVAPS),
    TVAPS is automatically launched at start-up and is always running.
    The question is: do I need TVAPS or can I uninstall it?
    Why was it pre-installed by Lenovo in a machine with an SSD?
    Thanks for your opinions.

    As as after thought; on the X300 there was Diskeeper, not sure about the X301, get rid of that as well if it's there. You definitely don't need it.

  • 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?

    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)!

  • 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.
    Cheers,

  • ThinkVanta​ge Active Protection System will not install

    Hi,
    Every time I try to install ThinkVantage Active Protection System, I get this error on the setup "This installation package is not supported by this processor type." My processor is an Intel T3400.
    Thanks,

    Hello mate,
    You need a ThinkPad to install Active Protection System, i don't think it will work with a Lenovo 3000.

  • Active Protection System Sensor Location

    Hello all,
    I am looking to upgrade the hard drive in my T61p, however my only reservation is the active protection system. I would like to keep this feature, and was unsure if the sensor for this was on the Lenovo hard drive itself or if it was elsewhere on the system. I would like to install a Western Digital hard drive and retain the active protection system. Does anyone know if this is a problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    the sensor is on the motherboard. and some hdd have an additional sensors on them too. 
    I have a WD 500 gig in one of mine T61 that i replaced last week, so it works okay.
    Any SATA hdd with 9.5 mm thickness and 2.5 inch factor is okay for your laptop.

  • Active Protection System - Where has my taskbar notification icon gone?

    I have T500, and at some stage in the last few weeks I seem to have lost the taskbar notification icon for the Active Protection System. The service is running, and I have re-installed it from a fresh download, but it is still missing!
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Peter

    Try again.
    I have a T400 (6474) that I've upgraded to the 'free' copy of Win7.
    After downloading SU 4.0, and updating the drivers, guess what - no Thinkvantage Folder on the start menu or icon in the task bar (hidden or not), so your suggestion won't work.  Even if you do a clean install and then run SU do update the drivers, the same thing.  I thought it was the machine, so I tried this on my M55 and T61, no change. It's like Lenovo has coded the packages to look for the old Start Menu location for Win Vista, and not the new location in Win7.
    I also have this problem with the Fingerprint software not appearing in a folder - having to plug through folders to find an executable is very poor design.
    I certainly hope this gets fixed.
    Presently with an X201 and a T500/T410 combo
    I've owned everything from a 701c up to present which equal a ton of ThinkPads

  • Active Protection System for Ultrabay HDD's

    Does the Active Protection System protect a HDD in the UltraBay of the W520?  I have a 750GB WD Scorpio Black using the Ultrabay adapter from NewmodeUS.  This page says it protects Ultrabay drives in some T series ThinkPads, but doesn't mention the W series or W520 specifically.
    W520 i7-2720QM | 32 GB RAM 1333 MHz | FHD 1920x1080 | Quadro 1000M | Windows 7 & Ubuntu 14.04
    Crucial M500 480GB mSATA + 2 x 1 TB Hitachi Travelstar 7200 rpm | BIOS 1.38

    It does. It even protects an HDD connected via eSATA.

  • Twist Crashing due to Active Protection System (BSoD)

    Hi all,
    Ever since I installed an update for the ThinkVantage APS (Active Protection System) my computer has crashed almost every time it suspends the HDD. This has become a niusiance, and I have disabled it for now (Rendering my PC unsafe).  Anyone else having this issue? The crashes are BSoD's, and the errors I get are KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR or CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. 
    Solved!

    Hi all,
    I opened the Hard drive bay, Pushed it in more, closed it, then tightened it up. Not one crash since, and it's been 4 days. I usually have 3 crashes a day or so.
    Problem (probably) solved.
    Thank you all

  • Windows XP and Firewall protection with AirPort

    I have my Airport set up as a closed network and realize when I am using my Mac OSX that I have full firewall protection. When I initiate Windows XP and turn my firewall settings off by going to Settings > Control Panel > Windows Firewall am I still protected because of how Airport is set up and provides a firewall? BTW I have full Norton Anti Virus for Windows installed on this Mac.

    Not sure about the need or anything with NAV for OS X. Perhaps it has improved.
    A hardened router does a lot, but I would still use software for firewalls. There are things you can do on a router to filter, log and block, but you have to take extra steps. And why turn off Windows firewall again?
    Some thing a router can be enough, but those are the same people that custom configure.
    On OS X I use NetBarrier (use to use Little Snitch) and maybe ClamXav.
    Go to a site that can test your system why not.

  • Xserve, Windows 7 and password protected files

    I have a Late 2006 Xserve running Sever OS 10.4.11 and I'm having a heck of a time connecting to any password protected files. For example, I can go "Map Network Drive", add the "Users" (\\xserve\Users\) folder and then access any unprotected folders within that directory (lets call them Bob and Tom), but not any of the password protected files (lets call that user Mike)
    If I click on the Bob or Tom folders (under "Users") it lets me in, no problem.
    If I click on the Mike folder (also mapped under "Users"), it says I don't have the correct access privileges. It's a straight up denial, no prompt for alternative login info.
    My first thought was this; go "Map Network Drive" and map the Mike folder directly (\\xserver\Users\Mike), but use the correct login info (username/pass). It prompts me for the username and password. HERES WHERE I'M STUCK! No matter what I put for the username and password, it denies me. I've tried resetting the password (through the server interface), then sucesfully logged in using my MacBook Pro (using the exact same username/password I had been trying with Win-doze)
    Again, I can connect to most of server files and folders from the Windows 7 machine (after following the "Set value to 'Send LM & NTLM' " procedure suggested by Vocal Jazz Fan on these forums. BIG THANK YOU!)
    So, is this impossible to fix? Is it just the nature of the beast running Windows machines on a Mac server? Why is it only these protected files that I can't access? That seems so strange to me.
    For a background, we had previously used Windows XP and logged into these folders with no problems.
    Note: this server is at a community center and thus has very limited funds and computer expertise, hence the reason we're two full OS's behind. If we cannot get this to work, we're prepared to hire some server jockeys to completely overhaul our server (run Windows on our Xserve hardware), which will take 2-3 days at about $120 an hour. Please help!

    I'd spend a few of those US$120 per hour hours with a Snow Leopard Server upgrade, as the software has matured substantially from Tiger Server to Leopard Server to Snow Leopard Server.
    [Here are my crib notes for getting Windows to work with Mac OS X Server (Snow Leopard Server)|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1590], which might be useful as a starting point.
    With those Windows registry keys as search targets, there are a number of discussions of getting Samba password-protected shares to work with Windows and Windows 7 boxes posted around the network, both at Microsoft and via the Samba mailing lists.
    These cases sometimes get as far as running Wireshark and dumping the network traffic, too.
