Windows 7 compatibility

When a Labview built executable tries to create/ edit its .ini file, located in the same directory as the .exe, and when this all happens in "C:\Program Files", Windows doesn't provide this previlege for a standard user and labview doesn't create this 'application.ini' in any other location other than the exe's directory. What is the solution to this problem? is there a way to store 'Application.ini' in any folder other folder Program Files?
Solved!

Mark,
I wish that was true, but that is not necessary the case. There are many times when you need to update the ini file in order to supply additional information on subsequent run. I have needs that need to set the initial paramtrs after the installation.
If you just need to update it once following installation, the newer versions of app builder allow you to run the EXE immediately following installation under (I presume) the credentials of the installing user which should have write access to the INI file.
I'm curious (not doubting or judging, just curious) what you need to change in the INI file at run-time.

T43 - Windows 7 Compatibility?

Has anyone installed Windows on a T43 Thinkpad? I am not sure it will handle graphics, and it shows that the Intel Pro/Wireless 2200 BG many not be supported/work. Looking for anyone who has tried Windows on older Thinkpads.
Thanks .... James

Everything will run great in W7 if you have a T43 with ATi graphics (model numbers starting in 26xx), including Aero. No issues with 2200BG (or any other card used on T43/p for that fact).
If you have a machine with Intel graphics (model numbers starting in 187x) you will not be able to run Aero, although everything else will work just fine.
I strongly suggest maxing the RAM at 2GB if you're intent on running W7. I've been doing in for quite some time on some of my T43/p units and have been extremely pleased this far.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

Windows 7 and Photosmart D6160 compatibility problem

My HP Photosmart D6160 printer used to be connected to an XP operating system computer, but that broke down and I purchased an HP P6313UK with Windows 7 Home, but I don't seem to have all the functions available to me anymore. There is no longer the solution centre so I cannot view my ink levels. Does anyone know how I can get round this problem, as reading on HP website, it says there will be issues with using it on a pc with Windows 7.

I have the same problem - have been in contact with HP support but they are really useless, you would think that there would be software available for a printer that is only 18 months old.

Windows 8.1 Compatibility with Printers

So, I have a Surface RT and have a HP Inkjet Printer J6450. Every since I bought this tablet, my printer always said that it was not compatible with this version of windows. I went to hp.com located my printer and selected windows 8.1 from the drop down menu to download and install, whatever it needs to do, but nothing happened.
I have the printer in my devices list because of wi-fi but it keeps saying not compatible.
HELP!

Hi tyler_rose, welcome to the HP Forums. You are correct that your J6450 is not compatible with Windows RT. Windows 8.1 is a different operating system.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview driver compatibility with HP Slate 2

Having big issues with Multitouch driver support and image rendering on my HP Slate 2, after installing Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
I've installed windows 8 consumer preview on my Elitebook 2740p and it works, like it was meant to run windows 8, great experience but, i tried the get it even better by installing it on my HP Slate 2, and to my disappointment, driver support for the Multitouch interface is giving me a hard time.
From scratch without any drivers, windows 8 was able to support the touch and pen interface, and i could touch and use the pen on the screen, but multitouch was not working, so i decided to install all windows 7 drivers, just like i did on the Elitebook, all drivers where installed correctly except for 2, Display card and Multitouch support.
The display driver is creating ghost images of previews windows and the Multitouch does not work, i can't pinch to zoom anywhere on the screen, or use any multitouch combinations, strange enough, after restoring the original Operating System (Windows 7), the multitouch worked, but then as soon as i upgrade it to windows 8, it stops working.
Is there a driver in the works, beta or anything, i'd really love to be able to use my HP Slate 2, running windows 8 consumer preview, that would make it a great Windows 8 tablet PC, by HP, and it would save my investment on the HP Slate 2.
Any ideas?

> Any luck on finding those drivers, or getting the Win 7 ones to work?
I think this thread started before N-trig finally came out with new drivers to help support W8...
http://www.n-trig.com/Content.aspx?Page=Windows8
FWIW in my case, TouchSmart tx2, my problem was not multi touch but Tap. I had to use my pen to "click". The new DuoSense driver has fixed that problem and allowed me to keep using Multitouch too.

Windows 7 RC Compatibility for C7280 and LightScribe

Will the C7280 Full Software install under the Windows 7 Release Candidate (not talking about the earlier beta builds), either in Vista Compatibility Mode, or with no modifications? Will all the updates install (including the recently released printer update to stop Office crashes) in regular or Vista Comp Mode? I’ve been reading also that scanner errors may occur, but I don’t know if this applies to the RC or earlier builds. I am running Vista right now. I know Windows 7 has basic drivers included. I have a copy of the RC and would like to upgrade, but would prefer to retain as much functionally as possible first. Are Windows 7 drivers for the C7280 coming soon (either at full release or shortly before). I sent an e-mail about this two days ago and haven’t received a response.Also, I have a Lightscribe drive. Will this work in Windows 7? I’ve read both yes and no to this. I’ve heard the earlier betas give a false “Lightscribe failed to start” warning. Will new drivers be available soon if they are needed?Thank you so much

Hi mugentuner, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
There's a lot of good information, including which systems are officially Windows 7 upgrade-capable, on the Lenovo support site:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/WIN7-HOME.html
After a clean install you of course need to apply Lenovo drivers & software. System Update is the easiest way.
For systems not on the official upgrade-capable list, a Windows 7 upgrade may be possible, but gets increasingly difficult the older the system is.

EliteBook 820 - Synaptics smbus touchpad buttons not working. Compatibility issue with Windows 7?

Just bought a new HP EliteBook 820 G1, and because we have standardized on Windows 7 that's what we had installed at the factory, although I believe it was probably engineering for Windows 8, which I believe to be the source of my issue. The Synaptics smbus touchpad mouse works, but the buttons do not work. I have tried updating the drivers from Windows Updates, Synaptics, and HP websites, only to go have it not work, or tells me that I have the latest driver. Is this a compatibility issue with the device and Windows 7, in which I am going to be required to upgrade the device to Windows 8 before I deploy it to the end-user?

Hello @PinkPaper
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the HP EliteBook 820 G1 is a commercial product. You can do this here Notebook - HP ProBook, EliteBook, Compaq, Slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE
The support page for your product may be helpful in the meantime: HP EliteBook 820 G1 Notebook Support.
I hope this helps!

Are there compatibility issues with using labview 4.0.1 with a DAQCARD 6024E. Which Ni-daq version should I use? Operating system?

I recently purchased a DAQCard 6024E and am trying to set it up on a windows XP laptop. Labview 4.0.1 vis do not seem to function. Do I have some compatibility issues? Thanks

Hello;
The oldest version of NI-DAQ that supports that card of yours is 6.6, which doesn't support Labview 4. Furthermore, the only NI-DAQ version that supports windows XP is the latest one, 6.9.2, and the Labview version that supports that same OS is 6.1.
Since you will have to upgrade Labview to be able to work with that DAQ card of yours, I advise you to upgrade to Labview 6.1, so you can work under XP also.
Hope this helps.

WD External HardDrive Compatibility Question

Alright, So I bought a 1TB Western Digital External HardDrive Passport. I re-formated it for mac, so it works with my 15" macbook pro. Everything works fine. I'm using the hard drive as a music storage device, since I am a DJ and have a lot of music. I don't want to bog down my computer with it.
A friend, who has the exact same device, uses it for his windows. When he plugs it in the computer will ask him what he wants to do with the device, and to play his music with his specific program is one of his options. i.e. open to view in folder, run with windows media player etc etc etc
That is also something that happens with Mac depending on the device you plug in. A window will pop up and ask, what do you want to do. Open with itunes, open with finder, etc etc.
What I want to do is use this external hard drive either with itunes or DJAY. By just plugging it into my laptop, and having that box come up and ask if i want to play the music with DJAY or itunes. When I open DJAY and itunes currently it doesnt show my external harddrive as a device. I can certainly drag music from the device to either program, but then that puts it on the computer, and defeats the purpose of having this 100$ harddrive. If someone can help me figure out how to get my macbook pro to view the harddrive as a device, and play the music on it with itunes or DJAY I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks!

The iPad does not support a USB host port, so no external hard drive will be recognized. Seagate has a new wireless portable hard drive that creates a hotspot for up to 3 devices and is fully compatible with the iPad as external storeage:

T420s WWan Compatibility - H5321gw or not ?

Hi there,
I was looking through the parts lists for my T420s (4174-P4G) and noticed here :
http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/gbweb/LenovoPortal/en_GB/catalog.workflow:show-categ...
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&DocID=PD024213
That the H5321gw clearly comes up as a part for the T420s
Is this a mistake or is this card in the whitelist in our BIOS ? As this card actually has proper Windows 8 drivers and I have one laying around, wondering if I should try putting it in or not.

Looking in the parts manual I am able to find the following:
Ericsson Mobile Broadband Module F5521gw, with FRU Number: 60Y3279
The whitelist will require that not only the card be on there, but it is a Lenovo FRU. You are able to tell this best by ensuring the FRU number is listed physically on the card. I believe the card you are referencing can go into the T430s. Now of course, you can still give it a go and see if it'll work. If does not you'll get something like an 1803 error.(Not 100% on the error code.) But it will tell you to remove it.
