Windows 7, Thinkvantage issues on X301

Where to post a note tike this! No doubt it will be moved if in the wrong place!
X301 with clean install of W 7 professional 64 bit, then updated using System Update 4 as supplied by lenovo as part of the upgrade program. All devices working fine under Windows 7 control (eg, WWAN, power, wireless connections). Issues with ThinkVantage Technologies as follows:
After about a week, Access connections reverted to a single Wireless Connection service profile and would never allow wireless connections to be made. Windows 7 was happily making them anyway!.
Access Connections, Think Vantage toolbox toolbars take no notice of the "small icons" settings for the task bar. Power manager icon behaves fine.
If I change screen brightness using FnHome when on battery power and shut the machine down in this changed state, the screen remains at this brightness regardless of power source when subsequently booted. Have to reset to defaults in Power manager to regain normality. Whether this is a "feature" or not, it is a pain.
I've decided to ditch Access Connections for now, and the toolbars can be turned off. I have to say that I'm struggling to see the advantage of some of the Thickvantage technologies in W7. Your views may differ!

Windows 7 Firewire Issues with CS5 and ADVC-700

I've got a Windows 7, 64 bit system with CS 5. In dubbing out for playback, I route a firewire cable from the PC to an Canopus/Grass Valley ADVC-700. Both units are less than a year old and are having issues with "black outs" during the dub out process. I've read different things about Windows 7 having issues with firewire drivers. After speaking to someone with Adobe, I've changed my firewire driver to Legacy. That hasn't helped.
The ADVC-700 has s-video out running to preview monitor and BNC out/XLR audio running to my playback system for ingest. When the video goes to black (usually for a 1/2 second), the audio drops out with it.
I've reset the settings on the ADVC-700 with no luck.
Any suggestions on a fix or something else to try?

I did test with a JVC GY-HD200U and there weren't any performance issues which led me back to the PC or other on the PC.
The system is running Windows 7, 64 bit with CS5 Production Premium following an upgrade from the CS4 version.
I've got 12 GB of Ram, (2) Intel Xeon Quad Core E5560 -2.8 GHZ processoCrs.
(1) 500GB SATA2 hard drive, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (System Drive)
(3) 1 TB SATA2 Hard drives, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (3 TB, RAID0 Storage Drive)
Nvidia GeForce 9800GT graphics Card
Supermicro X8DAi motherboard, Intel 5520 Chipset, 2-PCIe X16, 1 PCIe x4, 3-PCI, 10-USB2 ports, 2-pro/1000 NIC, 8-channel HD audio, 6 SATA ports, RAID 0/1/5/10
I've got the legacy drivers for the firewire card. I've checked to make sure all of the power save options are off along with all screen saver options. I've cleaned my Adobe Cache out, deleted my Adobe Preferences, went from the 4pin/6pin cable to a 6pin/6pin cable to feed the ADVC-700 from the PC, reset the ADVC 700 back to factory specs...all of this with no luck.
The problem seems to be worse since the move from CS4 to CS5 but it's hard to tell.
I've also hooked up an older ADVC-500 unit with the same output results.
I think I noted in the first post that this is happening on two indentical systems with the same cabling and programs and the same ADVC-700 boxes.
I've been told by Adobe to clean my C; drive and reload the OS and Adobe CS5 as I should have done that when I upgraded instead of just upgrading the system from CS4 to CS5 using the discs. I haven't done this yet as I have to budget time/workflow to accomodate.

No AC Power, Battery not charging, Windows boot up issue

Searched the forums but could not find an answer for my specific problem.
COmputer: L355 - S7905
Windows XP Professional
Issue: installed new motherboard. When on AC power, laptop shows a steady green LED light but will not boot up without the battery installed. Will not stay running when the battery is removed or dies. When plugged into AC power, battery charging light is on but battery continues to lose power; will not charge. Had the computer operating properly initially but noticed the power issue. I ran a chkdsk on one of the subsequent boot ups and now have a "config.sys file missing" error and can not get into windows any longer. I was going to try some of the battery charging suggestions listed on this forum but no longer can get into windows or the recovery council. Last screen attainable says to select "R" to repair system using a Windows disk. Can not get to a DOS prompt.
Status so far:
- Ran volt meter check on power adapter and getting steady 19 volts. Various motherboard checks with a voltmeter are seem normal.
- All LED lights on laptop are indicating the computer is working in a proper state (ie power light on, batt charging light on, HDD light on when in use, etc)
- replacement motherboard is the EXACT same motherboard as the original. Same model - identical.
- Can get passed BIOS screen successfully; can get into boot options screen (Safe Mode options, command prompt, etc) but all options eventually default to an error message I get from the chkdsk program and I can not go any further.
- Laptop did not come with an original Win XP restore disk.
- Battery is a replacement but is the exact same part number as on the Toshiba original battery. Battery seems to be operating perfectly once it is charged (had to go to computer accessory store for charge)
Questions:
- Why is the AC power only not able to run the laptop?? Is it a software issue??
- Once I can get into the windows OS, I presume I should be able to correct the battery not charging issue . . . is that right?? Sounds like it is a software issue from what I have read on the forums. My plan was to reinstall the Windows operating system but I can not do that on battery power alone.
Any suggestions on how to proceed??
Thank you - Paul
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Lawrence - Your suggestion was right on target, the replacement adapter solved my power problem. I would have never believed that to be the problem since the digital voltmeter was indicating the required 19v from the defective adapter, I would obviously NOT have figured this out on my own. Thanks for your time, response and help on this issue, I really appreciate it.

P965 platnium and windows boot up issues

Hello,
I put my computer together yesterday and everything seemed to work alright. I was successfully able to install windows. The issue i have is that windows will only load up once, then it will always freeze on start up.
For example last night, I reinstalled windows, got to it to load up, installed my network driver, browsed the web for a few minutes, and then restarted the computer. Then windows froze up during start up, so i reboot, and try to boot into safe-mode, which also ends up freezing after loading a few files.
This has been very repeatable, I can always reinstall and get back into windows, but i can not restart without it freezing. I ended up downloading liveupdate and updating the bios to 1.2, but that didn't seem to help.
my computer spec-
ee6700 core2 cpu
msi p965 platinum mobo
adata 2X1gig ram *(ddr2 800 pc2 6400 1.8v)
saphire 9750 xt pciE video card
37gig wd raptor drive sata
samsung 16x dvd burner ide
*antec smartpower 450w ps
no overclocking,everything is default settings
To make the issue more complex, I took out the harddrive and dvd burner and put them back into my old computer, reinstalled windows, and was able to reboot successfully.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

from some of the other posts that i've read, it seems that there can be an issue between using an Sata hard drive and an IDE cdrom drive.
I'll try downloading the newest jmicron drivers.

ETA for Windows 8 Thinkvantage software and drivers?

Hello,
I realize Windows 8 just went gold at the beginning of the month, but what is the release plan for drivers and software for the ThinkPads? I'll have the released product next Wednesday when it hits the MSDN download center.
Are we going to have to wait until general availability + 30 days or what? That would be after Thanksgiving.
I am mostly interested in Power Manager, power management driver, hotkey support, and a few other things. What is Lenovo shooting for as a release plan?
Thanks,
Thor

Fingerprint software / Windows XP login issue

Z61P 9452-J6G
Dear friends,
I cannot login any longer on my Z61p since I upgrade the fingerprint reader software to the last version.
I had a look at the 47 psts linked to fingerprint keyword but I have found nothing related to the problem below.
After restart, the fingerprint software starts automatically and request to "enroll" the user. I did "enroll" my current user meaning scanning fingerprints and associating the fingerprints with the Windows password.
Every time I start the computer, the enrollment software always starts automatically.
I cannot enroll again with same user (passport name <current user> cannot be used with same passport)
I cannot change the user (fields with user name and domain are greyer)
I did tried to use another local user. The software enrolls it and, now, I have the same issue with this user.
Every time, I cancel the fingerprint software, the computer ends the session.
I tried to use Ctr/Alt/Del to open another process but without success (nothing happens)
It is difficult to give more details on the system installed as I have no access to it.
Basically, Windows XP is up-to-date (I did upgrade everything last Friday) and all programs linked to ThinkVantage are also upgraded (my current issue is a consequence of the upgrades)
Access Connections is up and running (apparently, the laptop is able to log to my network)
I have tried to reset the fingerprint software in the BIOS but it has changed nothing in Windows.
At BIOS, I have security to Normal (meaning no supervisor or hard disk passwords)
BIOS settings for Fingerprint
Predesktop authentication: disabled
Reader priority: Internal
Security mode: Normal
Erase fingerprint data: I did tried but it has no effect on Windows fingerprint data (I could still login at Windows with my finger print)
Thanks in advance for your help

I have EXACTLY same problem on T61.
The solution I found is following:
1. Start Windows in Safe Mode (using F8). Not with Network or Command Prompt - those will require figerprint scan...
2. Run C:\Program Files\ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software\ctlcntr.exe
3. Settings -> System Settings -> Logon - Select "Standard Windows logon"
I hope you have your laptop back after re-starting :-)

Hp LaserJet 4350 windows 7 driver issue

The driver installed from windows update (3.18.2008, I think--hpc43506.gpd?) seems to have a problem. I tried printing to two separate 4350 printers. I ended up installing a pcl5 universal print driver from the HP site. I was wondering if this is a known issue? Is it just me?

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Printers - LaserJet.

Can anybody help me resolve this Windows 8.1 Issue?

In summary, a couple of hours ago whilst surfing the internet, a message popped up on my screen and without doing anything told me that my computer was "installing Windows 8.1", and no matter what I did it wouldn't let me exit, and not being all
that tech savvy when it stated "Do not turn off your computer", for me that meant "leave it alone".
So, I thought, "Ah, oh well. Another Microsoft update -- probably better than 8." Up until now, I have never been so wrong; I am not trying to criticize Microsoft or anything, but because of the issues that I have had so far(which aren't really
that huge, but have impacted me) have interrupted my experience and entertainment that I use my computer for.
Down to the issues. So, when my computer started up it took me to the screen where all the tiles are, and everything was huge(when I say huge I mean one of the tiles took up 25% of the screen), so basically I had to go to PC Settings and change the
size from default to smaller in "PC Settings>PC And Devices>Display", which was problem solved. But, whilst searching for how to make it smaller I had to go on Google Chrome, which when I opened up went from
[UPDATE] Since I cannot put images or links in this "Body Text", because my account is not verified yet, basically I'll try to sum it up in words.
Before(Good In My Opinion)
It's just like when you first get a computer -- the toolbar is small so that 90% of your Google Chrome is accessible, and your toolbar below where all of your icons such as Internet Explorer, Windows Market, Documents, etc. are, are also small, but small
enough so that it is unnoticeable UNTIL you WANT to notice it.
to bad (what the...)
Notice how everything is a lot bigger, especially the tool bars and things at the top, and because of this I have to adjust to this odd output, and in addition have to scroll to see more of a page because even the page seems more zoomed in. (I've even tried
using "Magnifying Glass", but that only temporarily HALF solves the problem.
Another problem is that everything on my screen is just generally bigger. I've tried changing it numerous ways; I've tried NVIDIA Resolution, etc. I've tried PC Settings>Resolution, PC Settings>Devices, etc, but nothing seems to work -- even the resolution
change doesn't do anything. As you can see, at the bottom of my screen all of the stuff is HUGE, and takes up at least 1/30th of my screen, when before was small and easily unnoticeable until I wanted to use it.
If anybody could help me, or solve these problems it would be HUGELY appreciated as I cannot stand this any longer.
Thank you.

Hi,
The main problem is that everything on the screen is bigger, right?
Considering you have tried PC Settings>Resolution, PC Settings>Devices ,I recommend you check another setting “Change the size of all items”. Here is the path:
1.Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\ Display(Change the size of all items)
2.If #1 won`t work, I agree with
ZigZag3143x,I recommend you re-install the graphics driver and it is essential to download the right driver for Win8.1 from the manufacture website.
Best regards

ITunes on Windows 7 performance issues - slow and hangs

Is there any way to improve performance of iTunes running on Windows 7?
It has always been slow with lots of application hangs and stalls that will resolve themselves if you wait for iTunes to catch up, but I find it incredibly frustrating.
For example, when iTunes starts and if it is checking podcasts, the entire application is unresponsive until it finishes checking and refreshing podcasts.
Alternately, when viewing my iPad Air and looking at the list of apps installed via iTunes it can take 30 seconds before iTunes responds.
Considering that this is running on a system with a quad-core Haswell processor at 3.2Ghz, 16GB of RAM and Windows 7 x64 it is pretty unacceptable.
The efficiency at which iTunes operates is just appalling. I can run Adobe Photoshop and many more memory hungry and processor intensive applications than iTunes and get better performance than what I see in iTunes.
This is not specific to my system either. All of my family members have iPhones and their own computers and this performance issue exists on every computer I have ever run iTunes on.
Is there any way to manually tune performance because this is pretty crappy. It's been bugging me for years, but today just kind of feels like the last straw.

I guess the answer is, "It's terribad, live with it"

EA4500 – Smart Wi-Fi interface and Windows Network Map issues

I purchased this Router about 2 weeks ago as a phased upgrade of our Home Network, primarily to enhance media streaming. It has the latest firmware preinstalled from the factory. Prior to the purchase and installation of the EA4500 Router I replaced my old Motorola SurfBoard SB6120 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem with a Motorola SurfBoard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem. My old Linksys E2000 Router worked perfectly with the SB6141, with the exception that the E2000 wasn’t IPv6 enabled, but does have 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet (RJ-45) and Internet ports.
The EA4500 has been installed for about 10 days and seems to have improved local network speeds and I don’t seem to be having any Internet connectivity issues. However, there are some disturbing issues with the EA4500 and the AE3000 I purchased. There are 11 devices connected through the Router; a Dell Desktop (wireless with the AE3000), a Dell Desktop (Ethernet), a Dell Laptop (wireless), 2 Canon Printers (1 Ethernet and 1 Wireless), 2 Western Digital 1TB MyBookLive Network Drives (both Ethernet), a WD TV Live Streaming Media Player (wireless), an Apple TV media player (wireless), an iPad (wireless), and an Android Smartphone (wireless).
Issue 1 – The Linksys Smart Wi-Fi interface appears to be unreliable at times!!! I’ve read about this problem here on the Community involving the EA6500, so I don’t know if this is a Linksys Server issue, as suggested in a few responses, or a bug in the Router firmware, or defective hardware. However, when the interface locks up, it can’t be accessed from a wireless or wired connection. Usually, powering down the Router and then powering it back up and restart will allow it to function again. However, at times before the interface completely locks up it shows either just a white screen or the security screen will show no firewall features enabled. This is a little scary, so I’ll do a complete reset and setup; this is becoming a pain in the rear!!!!! Is there any hope for this being fixed, in this Router, not the next generation??????????
Issue 2 - All of my network devices show up in the Router’s Device List. Except for the Apple devices they also show up, when they are online, in Windows 7 Explorer under Network and when you click on Network they are correctly displayed as Computers, Media Devices, Network Infrastructure, or Storage. However, when you click on “Open Network and Sharing Center” and then click on “See Full Map”; it fails with the response “Windows cannot create the network map. Responses from other devices on the network are delayed or there is an incompatible router on the network”; no device map is shown. When I follow the link for more information, the only thing that stands out is “A device on the network, such as a hub or switch, is not working properly or is not compatible with the Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) protocol, which Windows uses to create the map. To fix this problem, disable the device, turn it off, or remove it from your network”. All of my network devices showed up on the Network Map with the old E2000. This issue is the same on all of my computers, either wired or wireless. Any known solutions for this, or is it as Windows suggests; an incompatible Router????
Thanks in advance for any insight or solutions. With the issues I’m having with the EA4500 and the AE3000; they are both probably going back to Amazon.

thebluemamba_24; Thank you for your suggestion; I finally found time yesterday to perform an extensive evaluation before I return the Router. However, rather than trying to add devices manually, my rationale was if the EA4500 can’t process them correctly, automatically, it needs to be returned anyway, so I added devices normally letting the device an Router handle the process.
In thinking through this issue, all devices on our network are detected and identified by Windows Explorer on Windows 7 computers; except of course the Apple and Android devices (Apple TV, iPad, and Smartphone). So, I wondered if one of those three devices being added to the Router’s device list was somehow causing issues or interfering with Windows 7’s ability to generate a Network Map. Therefore, my approach was to turn off or disable all devices on our network, reset the Router to factory defaults, reestablish the Router to my custom Home Network configuration using a Windows 7 PC that has LAN and Wireless access to the Router, then add one device at a time and check with each addition to see if Windows 7 could still generate a Network Map.
With the Router reset and reestablishment complete; I began the process of adding one device at a time and checking to see if a Network Map was being generated. What I discovered was when a recent addition to the network, a Western Digital WD TV Live Streaming Media Player, was connected (wirelessly), Windows 7 could no longer generate the Network Map and the failure was consistent. The only way to get the Network Map to work again was to remove power from the WD TV Live, although it remained in the EA4500’s Device List; simply turning it off didn’t help. Since I’d originally witnessed the Windows 7 Network Map working with the Linksys E2000 Router that the EA4500 replaced, I decided to test the WD TV Live with that Router. It worked initially, but it failed consistently after the first success. Interestingly, the failure indication was a little different, but nevertheless generation of the Network Map failed.
I’ve tried changing a few settings on the EA4500 as well as the WD TV Live, but nothing helped. There was a recent firmware update to the WD TV Live, so I might try rolling back the firmware to see if it makes a difference.
The Network Map issue might very well be an issue with the WD TV Live, not the Router, but after reading many threads on this Community I have reservations that the problems I’m experiencing with the Smart interface lockup will be fixed. I suspect new emerging replacement products will be the focus and these older products will be abandoned and no more firmware fixes will be forthcoming and I don’t want to spend more money for a new product just to fix old problems and get something that works properly. The Network Map issue is troublesome, but the lockup of the Router’s “Linksys Smart Wi-Fi” interface is a serious matter to me. It appears that once it locks up, the only way to correct it is a power off restart; not practical if you’re traveling and trying to access settings remotely; the selling point for this feature.
Given the problems I’m experiencing with the EA4500 and AE3000, I guess I’ll return them. Too bad, because otherwise the EA4500 seems like it’s a good Router. I’ve been brand loyal since the Linksys WRT54G came out, but after reading this Community and with my personal experience with the EA4500 and AE3000, now I’ll probably give the NETGEAR N900 equivalents a try.

Safari 5.1.2 on Windows 7 has issues with hiding SWF objects in IFRAMEs

Try as I may I cannot hide a Flash object in an HTML page referenced as the source of an IFRAME tag despite being able to hide the IFRAME when using Safari 5.1.2 on a Windows 7 machine.
This is not a problem for the latest versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox on a Mac. This is not a problem for the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox on a Windows 7 machine.
Following is sample HTML and JavaScript for the page that includes the IFRAME tag:
<button id="tryit" type="button">Try It</button>
<div id="test">
     <iframe src="hideswf-iframe.html" width="770" height="610" frameborder="0"></iframe>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
     var test = document.getElementById("test"),
          tryit = document.getElementById("tryit");
     tryit.addEventListener( "click", hideAndSeek, false );
     function hideAndSeek(e) {
          var style = test.style;
          style.opacity = (style.opacity == 1 || style.opacity == "") ? 0 : 1;
</script>
And the following is the OBJECT tag for the SWF object that would exist in the page "hideswf-iframe.html" referenced as the source of the IFRAME tag in the above code block:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="strobemediaplayback" data="StrobeMediaPlayback.swf" width="743" height="600" style="visibility: visible; ">
     <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
     <param name="wmode" value="direct">
     <param name="flashvars" value="favorFlashOverHtml5Video=true&swf=StrobeMediaPlayback.swf&javascriptCallbackFunction=$.fn.strobemediaplayback.triggerHandler&minimumFlashPlayerVersion=10.0.0&expressInstallSwfUrl=expressInstall.swf&autoPlay=false&loop=false&controlBarMode=docked&poster=&src=http://players.edgesuite.net/videos/big_buck_bunny/bbb_448x252.mp4&useHTML5=false&width=1187&height=959&queryString=favorFlashOverHtml5Video=true&swf=StrobeMediaPlayback.swf&javascriptCallbackFunction=$.fn.strobemediaplayback.triggerHandler&minimumFlashPlayerVersion=10.0.0&expressInstallSwfUrl=expressInstall.swf&autoPlay=false&loop=false&controlBarMode=docked&poster=&src=http://players.edgesuite.net/videos/big_buck_bunny/bbb_448x252.mp4&useHTML5=false&width=1187&height=959">
</object>
The complex aspect is that this issue only manifests itself with some SWF objects, but not all. In the admittedly small sample of objects I tested I observed that the ones that failed were focused on video content (basically they were video players) while the ones that didn't exhibit the issues were not delivery mechanisms for video content.
I have already tried using JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery and Scriptaculous - they didn't fare any better.

Actually it doesn't let me choose either of the buttons and before anything can happen the crash occurs. I tried to click on both buttons but it seems not to work. Thanks!

MacBook Pro Core i7 + Windows 7 Bootcamp issues

I recently bought a brand new MacBook Pro Core i7 2.66Ghz with 8GB Ram and 500GB 7200rpm HD and Hi-Res display.
When I received it, I updated all Mac OS X software via software update.
I then created a 70GB Bootcamp partition to install a new full copy of Window 7 Ultimate.
I started with the 64bit version of Win 7, but as has been noted here there are some issues with the driver packages and even after managing to get the 64bit version of the Bootcamp 3.1 driver package update to install in Windows (having first installed Bootcamp 3.0 drivers), the wireless driver would not install or work, nor would the NVidia driver, so I had a very odd display aspect and low res support. There may well have been other drivers not working either, but these two really stood out.
Despite the Bootcamp 3.1 driver package apparently being installed (as reported by "About Bootcamp", the 3.1 package was still being offered to me in Apple Software Update. I tried to install again, and again it still showed as being available to install. Obviously some issue's here.
So I decided to try the Windows 7 32bit edition instead, as I don't necessarily need the 64bit version to run the Windows apps I need.
I deleted the Bootcamp partition and started again. I ended up in the exact same situation with Windows 7 32bit as I had done with Windows 7 64bit - wireless device without a driver, NVidia drivers not installed. This time I had used the Bootcamp 32bit driver packages.
In the end I've opted to just install it via VMware as a pure virtual machine. This works fine, but for what I do in Windows, I prefer to have a Bootcamp setup.
Is there a general issue with the new MacBook Pro's and Windows 7 despite Apple releasing updated driver packages? Do these new driver packages handle the dual GPU setup properly?
I have read a number of "How to's..." for installing Windows 7 on the a MacBook Pro, but none have been successful for me. Am I wasting my time for now and need to wait for Apple to update Bootcamp for the 2010 MacBook Pro's, or am I just missing something in the way I'm doing this? I can't believe it shouldn't be this hard?

Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my brand new 15" MBP right now.
The only problem I'm having is the USB controller issue that is reported in the following thread:

I ran the Boot Camp assistant, made the partition, rebooted with my 7 DVD, formatted the partition, performed a clean installation, & then installed the drivers from the OSX DVD when Windows booted the first time.
Replaced the NVIDIA drivers with the latest Verde release. 258.96notebook_winvista_win7_64bit_internationalwhql.exe
Everything seems to be running just fine at this point.
