X131E 3372-3FU Ghost Issues with 2.09 bios or higher

I contacted Lenovo tech support with an issue that our client had since bios revision 2.09 through the latest 2.52.  They are unable to use Symantec ghost to image their laptops using the latest solution suite 2.5.  I was onsite today to investigate the issue and found with putting everything in legacy mode I still was unable to boot to anything dos based it would just hang.  The laptops that have the previous bios version 1.05 work fine, but unfortunately there was no way to downgrade lower then 2.09 once 2.09 was on the systems.  Just seeing if there is a way to force a downgrade to 1.05 or if Lenovo is coming out with a fix so that this functionality is restored since the earlier 1.05 bios did not exhibit this issue.

They have a newer version coming out in a few months from symantec but had said to contact lenovo considering depending on bios version it would work fine. The initial bios release works great but every release since that version must have a flaw in the firmware or something for legacy was removed from it. I'm trying to get a solution for our client since they don't want to change from symantec and will work with our rep tomorrow.

  • Can I ask apple store to replace my MBP with Retina display? because I have the ghosting issue with it!

    I bought my MBP with Retina display less than two months ago and now I have this problem which the ghost of the application that was open, remains on the background.
    I took the device to apple store and they decide to change a harware of it!! now I just feel like it is no going to be repaired.
    just wanna know despite that 14 days of purchase date has passed, can I ask apple to replace the whole device and give me a new one or not!

    you can ask them, but they are not obligated to fulfill your request.  They are obligated to fix any issues related to defective craftsmanship as long as your mac is under warranty however.

  • Issue with Query OLAP time very high

    Hello Guyz
    I ran my query in RSRT, and noticed tht the QOLAPTIME was almost 432 seconds (the query had crossed the 65556 records limit by then). The DBTIME was 70 secs.
    1. Are the above times in seconds?
    2. What are the performance techs I can implement, to improve the OLAP time? Since I think aggregates, indexing and partitioning only improve the DB time?
    3. I already have cache active on this query.
    Any suggestions?
    Please don't post the same question across the different forums
    Edited by: Moderator on Jul 8, 2009 11:46 AM

    Hello,
    One more thing, do any of the standard tech. of Indexing, Partitioning, Aggregate creation help in decreasing the OLAP time?
    These tech will be helpful for DB time but no use for OLAP time. And RKF didn't cost extra OLAP time but CKF and CELL calculation do.
    In your post you said there are more than 65535 rows. That's the main cause of high OLAP time according to my experience. Why users want so many rows? It's almost impossible to read. You can imaging how long it would take to transfer so many data from bw server to user (result in high OLAP time).
    Please reduce the lines by filter or something else. If you can't reduce the line number, I don't think the OLAP time would be low.

  • Z77A-GD65 issues with Geforce GTX 780 Video Card

    Hey Guys,
    I have a issue with a new PC build.
    I think it may be a driver or BIOS setting issue, I hope
    I bought a MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard and below are the specs:
    - Intel Core i7-2600 CPU 3.4 Ghz
    - BIOS Version E4451IMS V10.8
    - Balistix Sport 8GB sticks (Total of 24 GB memory installed)
    - Kentek 875w power supply
    - Geforce GTX 780 Graphics Card
    My problem is with the Geforce GTX 780 video card, I installed a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit and
    everything runs and works fine,but when i install the Geforce GTX 780 video card and install the
    drivers its all good up to this point but when i restart the computer i get this message in the device
    manager ""Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (code 43)"
    I have installed different versions of the driver, a few older and few newer versions with the same
    outcome.
    I tried to flash the BIOS to the latest version 10.11 but had problems with it picking up my harddrive
    after it flashed successfully. I even checked the boot up setting and it all looked good just would not
    boot up, so i had to revert back to the v10.8 BIOS version for it to work.
    I'm not sure if there is a setting in the BIOS that i need to turn on or off. I'm not familar with this BIOS,
    is there a place in it so i can see if the BIOS is picking up the video card, it has to or Windows would
    not see it right?
    I'm stumped here, do you guys know of a Geforce driver version that works well with this video card?
    I truely think the card is fine because when i install the card to the motherboard i dont get any weird
    issues until the driver is installed and Windows is restarted.
    I would greatly appreciate any help and advise that you guys can give me.
    Thanks alot

    UPDATE 
    Well i wanted to post an update on my new build issue.
    Here are my specs:
    I bought a MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard with BIOS v10.8
    - Intel Core i7-2600 CPU 3.4 Ghz
    - BIOS Version E4451IMS V10.8 (i had a issue with the newest BIOS flash v10.11 it wouldn't detect the harddrive, could figure that one out so i went back to v10.8)
    - Balistix Sport 8GB sticks (Total of 32 GB memory installed) I first had 3 sticks so i got another 8GB stick to fill all 4 banks for total of 32 GB
    - Corsair Professional Series 860 Watt Digital ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Platinum Power Supply AX860i (Bought this PS to replace the Kentek PS)
    - N780 TF 3GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 780 GAMING) (traded Geforce GTX 780 card for the MSI version of the GTX 780 card)
    OK... I got the new Corsair 860w power supply installed and i installed the new MSI GTX 780 video card with the specs above everything installed fine no problems and my son was playing the Bio Shock Infinite game on Steam and about 1 hour into the game he got a blue screen of death, says something like "to prevent damage windows is now resetting" and it turns off so fast can't read the rest of the message.
    I'm going to here in a little bit and update all device drivers with MSI Live update utility and also update the motherboard BIOS again to v10.11.
    I'm really confused here, I'm also going to take out some memory and try to run it with sticks only in slot 2 & 4 to see if it runs more stable like that, also should i update the video card to the latest driver, i know the latest is not always the greatest driver.
    I want to think you guys again for your help & time with this issue. I really dont know what else to do here, everything is new in this PC.
    Thanks

  • MacBook Pro with retina display having a ghosting issues

    Hi folks,
    Just bought the all new MacBook Pro with Retina display and using it for some few weeks experienced ghosting issues.. Almost have of my retina display screen is having the ghosting issues.. Whats really wrong??

    You aren't the only one... See this nearly 500 page thread... https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4034848?start=0&tstart=0.

  • Graphics issues with MacBook Pro Retina

    I bought my 15" MBPr in July and have been living with these issues since the beginning. Generally the issue happens when scrolling or writing in forms on web pages in Safari. Often times pieces of the web page will stick or ghost. This also sometimes happens when viewing photos on FaceBook. Anyone else having similar issues?

    A number of folks have had graphics issues with the Retina display model... since you're still under warranty, take your unit to your local Apple Store or an AASP and reproduce the problem for them. They should have a 'fix' - even if it means replacing the logic board - that will be of no cost to you.
    I couldn't have put up with that as long as you have...

  • Adobe CS3 Issues with Snow Leopard 10.6.1

    After spending an initial $1,800.00 for CS3, I'm not dropping another $40
    0 to $500, just so I can use them under Snow Leopard. Although, I'm hearing a lot of issues with CS4 and Snow Leopard, too.
    The problem I have found so far is that when any one of the CS3 applications attempts to check for "Updates...", they crash. I'm unable to update each of the CS3 applications from the original versions on my DVD.
    I receive a dialog box that states that "Adobe Updater" quit unexpectedly.
    Apple and/or Adobe MUST fix this. I have a newer Intel-based iMac. I completely reinstalled the Mac OS X to Snow Leopard and installed the Adobe apps on a clean computer. ALL of my other applications from other manufacturers are running fine

    Can you get your updates from, say, [here|http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=adobe%20upda tes%20photoshop%20cs3&cat=support]. Check fast these are search results. To reproduce what I found, I went to Adobe.com and searched on Adobe updates Photoshop CS3. That's the only CS3 program I searched on.

  • Purchased Samsung 63 plasma 8000 series ghosting issues

    I purchased a 63 Samsung 3D plasma 8000 series in 2/10 and the picture is fantastic, but I seem to be having ghosting issues when people move on the screen or with fast moving scenes.  I had a pioneer 50 plasma that was 5 years old that did not have this problem with people only blurring with fast moving scenes like sports.  The people and scenes are clear it's just the edges seem to be blurring or ghosting.  Is this normal or is there something I can adjust?  It is really irritating to me.  I thought this TV was supposed to be an improvement with blurring or ghosting but at present it seems to be worse.  Please advise.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    cd22 wrote:
    what was it's original function. 
    Motion Judder or Blur Reduction (named differently depending on brands of TV) is used to help compensate for the natural blur some content has. Unless you are watching something in its default recording such as 24p you will have at least some motion blur. Once again this is blur that is in the content not something plasmas technically have like LCD's are susceptible to. 
    So what does it do or supposed to do:
    A standard video signal is actually a series of still images, flashed on screen so quickly that we believe we are watching a moving image. The typical frame rate used in North America is 60 frames per second (60Hz) meaning that a TV would display 60 individual still images every second. Sub-field drive is the method used to flash the individual image elements (dots) on a plasma panel. For each frame displayed on the TV the Sub-field drive flashes the dots 10 times or more, meaning that the dots are flashing 600 times per second (600Hz) or more. (Example: 60 frames per second x 10 sub-fields = 600 flashes per second). TV's will try to compensate content judder by inserting more sub-fields into the image. However it tends to have mixed results. Sometimes it works sometimes it completely fails and sometimes it overcompensates.
    I personally have a Panasonic plasma and I keep the blur reduction off.

  • Are there known issues with graphics cards?

    I have an Intel Core i7 2.66 GHz with 8GB of RAM and a graphics card with
    Intel HD Graphics
      Type:    GPU
      Bus:    Built-In
      VRAM (Total):    288 MB
      Vendor:    Intel (0x8086)
      Device ID:    0x0046

      gMux Version:    1.9.21
    My screen occassionaly gets completely scrambled, where I move the trackpad and windows and other things will ghosted items will materialize in the background, though I am unable to click on anything or do anything, so I have to cut the power. This happens when I only have 1 or maybe 2 programs open.
    Are there any known issues with the graphics cards on these Macbook Pros? Anyone know what might be causing it?
    Thanks.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

  • [solved] openbox: "ghost" window with bbpager

    I don't really know where to report this bug as it was working fine a few days ago, so I'm just going to check if I'm the only one having problems with bbpager.
    Basically, when I'm using bbpager outside of the dock/slit, everything's fine.
    But when using bbpager -w, if I close everything, the last window still appears in the pager:
    impossible to move it, but it's still there.
    Once I open a new window, everything's working again, the "ghost" window dissapear.
    Strange thing is, if I run a 2nd instance of bbpager without the "withdrawn" option, the one in the dock behaves correctly: the docked bbpager stop drawing the remaining window.
    I tried with the default config files for both openbox and bbpager with no luck.
    Problem is I have no idea how to check what's wrong with it, and unable to find another pager with autohiding feature (which is why I put bbpager in the dock).
    Does someone has the same issue, or any idea of what I could do to solve this problem?
    Thanks!
    This is unrelated and solved:
    Edit:
    Just realised something else:
    I'm using "windows" + Tab as a "Super alt-Tab", ie switching between tasks on all desktops, and not just the current one.
    If I'm on a desktop with no window open, no problem, I just choose the window I want and I'm transfered to the correct desktop.
    Problem is once the window gets focus, windows tab isn't working anymore: I can choose another window (I see the icons, can move between them, see the border...), but I'm not transfered to it.
    It doesn't do a thing.
    But if I do "show desktop" first, no problem, it's working again...
    Edit2: AAAAaaaAAARRGGH! downgraded to openbox 3.4.7 fixed the "windows + Tab" issue, but not the bbpager one!!!
    I'm completely clueless.
    Edit3:
    Just reinstalled openbox 4.3.8.
    Did it with Pacman -Rns openbox + rm -r ~/.config/openbox, then pacman -S + cp /etc/xdg/openbox ~/.config , just to be sure.
    Same issue with "windows tab", but... It's working with firefox, I don't know why!
    I can switch between different firefox windows, even if they're on different desktops!

    Solved the openbox issues: installing openbox-git and modifying the new default rc.xml manually (don't use obkey as it's not working well with openbox 4.3.8), everything is working as expected.
    Still, I still have the bbpager issue...
    Edit:hmmm.
    No idea why, but after a pacman -Scc and a new install of bbpager, no ghost window anymore...
    Solved.

  • HT5455 Is It normal that my premium category 15" retina MBPs screen has ghosting issues, then I get declined from screen replacement?

    Is It normal that my premium category 15" retina MBPs screen has ghosting issues, and I get declined from screen replacement?
    I have purchased this hardware in Budapest for approximately 3000 usd. I was a bit shocked to see screen ghosting after a few days of use. The problem was getting worse but because I am a design consultant working mainly on my Mac I couldnt take a week off to leave It at an Apple service station.
    Last week I was surprised to receive the information from the local Apple repair shop in Germany that my retina MBP that I bought 13 months ago was declined from screen replacement by Apple.
    Considering the price of the product I find It unacceptable that I need to work on a defective product and see shadows every time I leave an Illustrator or InDesign window open for a short period of time.
    Is there any way to resolve this issue? I wouldnt like to pay another 800 dollars just to replace a component on my defective Apple product.

    Contact Apple Support directly.  In Germany the Expresslane or this number
    0800 6645 451 will allow you to speak directly to someone from Apple.    Explain your situation.   Mind you, AppleCare and issues with Apple products like this have to occur without any user accidents or user installed parts to ensure that Apple will cover you.  If there was a user accident or installed part, you may be turned down.  If you have the original Apple parts, and did the installation yourself, replace it with the original parts very carefully following the directions on http://www.ifixit.com/ unless you can afford an authorized service provider to do it for you.  Since we don't speak for Apple here, being end users like yourself, that's why I say "may", as I've seen Apple handle these things on a case by case basis.  So hopefully you don't have any obvious damage that looks like it is user caused.   Good luck!

  • Issues with Creative Cloud for teams deployment workflow

    The Adobe Creative Cloud for teams IT Deployment Guide lists out steps for IT admins to deploy the CS6 applications and then have their end-users license the trial software with their Adobe IDs once they have been invited to the team. There are two major issues with this document.
    First, the media that is on the FTP is not for North American English. We are working to get that posted on the FTP site ASAP. In the meantime, you can find the CS6 MC media from: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/
    [Note: Getting media from that page requires the use of the Adobe Download Assistant which is very consumer focused. Sorry about that.]
    Second, in order to have the ability to login properly with a Creative Cloud for Teams account the system needs to have the latest copy of Adobe Application Manager installed. If you do not do this step the end user will be prompted for a serial number.
    Unfortunately the Adobe Application Manager can’t be packaged with AAMEE nor is it a native installer. I know, I know! Here are the links to the Adobe Application Manager installers:
    Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
    Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774
    It can be installed from command line by:

    Mac: <path to ASU> /ASU/Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install –mode=silent –action=install

    Hi Boncker,
    I see that you have an active Subscription under your account . Please launch any of the installed product and when you get the trial prompt , please click on License this software and then Enter the Adobe Id & Password for the account that you have accepted the invite .
    Please do let us know if that worked for you or not .

  • Issue with magsafe/charging (blinks green, amber, off)

    Having a quirky issue with my mid-2009 Macbook Pro.
    A month or so ago, I began having an issue with my macbook charging. When the computer is up and running and I plug in the magsafe it will say "Calculating..." and then say "Not Charging" and then switch to battery use. It constantly does this as long as the magsafe is connected. The lights on the magsafe will constantly cycle from green to amber to no light.
    At first, it would do it a few times then it would start charging. Now it constantly does this without ever stopping. I was editing video the other day for a while and it never stopped the cycle.
    Thinking it was the battery, I took it into the Apple Store last week and got a new battery because it had been saying "Service battery" for a while and the battery would only last about 20 minutes on a charge. So I just thought the battery finally refused to charge.
    But the problem still exists.
    The magsafe is new (only 3 months old) and here's the quirky thing: the computer will charge if it's asleep (lid closed) or shut down completely. No blinking lights at all. It will charge as long as it's asleep or shut down. So I don't think it's the charger. But as soon as you hit the power button to starting booting up, it will blink.
    I have reset the SMC a couple times actually, but no change.
    Is there something software/firmware related that I haven't tried? Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated before I take it back to the Apple Store (which is about an hour away).
    Thanks!
