X220 drivers windows preview

tried installing win8 on my trusty x220 today, ran into 3 issues 
1. webcam not working
2. system update "an error occured while aquireing user info" 
3.  audio drivers fail to install in second stage returning code 0x0.
are there any workarounds atm? 
everything seems to be working fine on my think center and envy

Did you manage to get the Hotkeys installed?  Or is that what you're using to adjust the volume?  
You could try to update the driver manually from Device Manager.  Don't let Windows install it, point the installer to the folder where the driver downloaded to.  It'll probably fail, but then Windows should offer to install it in compatibility mode.
Let it.

  • Bootcamp drivers Windows 7 (64 bit)

    I had my mac replaced because of a screen defect... for some reason after installing windows 7 back on it I cant seem to get the boocamp drivers to work properly. The closest I got was having my keyboard lit all the time but no buttons were working... or trackpad. I DID have this working before and I just remember installing drivers... maybe I have tried the wrong ones? I have went through several and no success so far. So I reformatted with a fresh Windows 7 and now I wanna wait until I get feedback on EXACTLY what to install... thanks

    I totally missed that you put this under "Input Devices" rather than "Install" category....

  • How do I install bootcamp drivers windows 8 (mainly trackpad)

    I installed windows 8 conumer preview using bootcamp.  I download the drivers to my flash drive, but when i try to install them it says I need a computer running windows 7.  I tried running in compatibility mode the way many people say to for installing on windows 8 but that did not work.  I also tried to install all the drivers i needed indevidually and that worked, but there is one problem.  I can only left click on the trackpad and I connot two finger scroll. 
    If anybody could help me either get the drivers to fully install or simply get right click and scrolling to work it would be awsome!
    If it makes a difference i am running snow lepered on my mac partition om my macbook pro 15 inch 8,2 from mid 2011 (the first quad core one).

    When you are on Lion, yes and if you have any 2011 model, definitely. mid-2011 was about where Lion was about to come out. And the old drivers just do not do a good job on those systems.
    I'd even buy Lion and just put it on an external drive. If you want then use Setup Assistant to make it currrent with your settings, and clone it back to where SL was (might want to clone SL if you need it though and don't need or can't use Lion for some reason).
    Someone else was unable to see Troubleshoot via control-click and I took a screen shot to show that "64.mi" does normally have options for how to run from Properties while theirs lacked that. Which seems to me like an issue with Windows installed on their system and not elsewhere.
    You did a clean install of 8-CP too?

  • Random 'touch glitches" on x220 with Windows 8 Pro

    Performed a clean install of Win8 on x220 Tablet with brand new SSD (not an upgrade). The Start Menu GUI displays 'random touch glitches' (those highlights that appear when you actually touch the screen), which are invoking random apps. This is not happening on the desktop mode.
    Ran the Lenovo System Updater which provided a number of drivers but did not correct this issue.
    Then I installed the latest Wacom Windows 8 driver for Tablet PC but still this has not corrected the appearance of these random touch glitches.
    Anyone encounter this and find a fix? Much appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Per early query, the 'random touch' glitches appear as random 'sonar blips', much like when you touch the new Win8 GUI (not the old Win7 desktop).
    Thanks for the link to prior discussion. Ran the BIOS Updater, re-booted but random 'sonar' blips persist. Though the discussion link led someone to conclude it was  hardware issue, I am not convinced since I am only getting these 'sonar' blips in the Win8 GUI. The desktop shows nothing (though when you actually touch the desktop screen no 'sonar' graphic appears, and my desktop shortcuts are not randomly opening.
    Again, this is appearing only in the Win8 GUI so I'm guessing that's where the problem lies.

  • Installed WIndows 7 & correct bootcamp drivers, windows will not activate "hot fix" or "Support drivers"

    Hello, i hope someone can help,
    i have repeated this whole process 3 times already, it has taken 8 strait hours of my time and i still have had no success.
    QUICK SUMMERY
    To put it simply, After windows is up and running on my mac, the wireless network wont work, so i cannot download the hot fix, and the support driver files from bootcamp will not open because it says they are not "32 Valid" ?. But im using a 64bit disk.
    The wireless network adaptor automatically doesn't work on windows right after installation,
    so i had to load the Hot Fix onto an SD card along with the bootcamp drivers, then open the hotfix file in windows.
    The first time i was able to install the fix, windows restarted and installed the update, logged back on... and nothing changed.
    At that point i attempted to open the "Setup"  file in the bootcamp support folder, and an error message came up saying it wasn't valid.
    LONGER EXPLANATION OF MY COMPLETE PROCESS: (to cancel out any questions)
    i was able to find my support driver from here:
    http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged -1.sucatalog
    its some old fashion coded page that has a bunch of apple drivers you can download by pasting one of the codes in your browser,
    i searched for bootcamp support drivers, and found the code for my exact model (Mac Pro 8,2)
    i was able to manually downloaded the drivers instead of  using bootcamp assistant.
    As a side note,
    i was able to download the bootcamp drivers via boot camp assistant after the 5th try,
    so now i have both files that i know are supposed to work 100%. they are loaded and unzipped on an SD card like they are supposed to be for when i open windows.
    I have a Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium x64 bit CD from the inlaws so i used that CD after i partitioned my drive in bootcamp.
    Bootcamp run like it was supposed to, and i followed step by step instructions in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVfRQ0YIDUI&feature=related
    once windows was finished installing,
    it automatically would not detect a network card, so i couldn't connect to the internet and download the apples bug fix. (The Hot fix)
    instead i downloaded the hot fix on a separate SD card, turned windows back on and loaded the hot fix from the SD card.
    Windows installed the hot fix update, restarted, but nothing changed.
    Ive even tried skipping right to uploading the drivers, and windows wont activate the support because it says its not "32 Valid"
    I completely removed windows 7 vis bootcamp to rinse and repeat hoping i made a simple mistake, but no same thing happened.
    Conclusion
    -im Wondering if i should "Istall important Windows Updates" during the begining of windows preperation...
    maybe that will fix the issues of it not reconizing wierless network, and not being able to upen up the bootcamp file?
    (it says you are not supposed to install any windows updates untill the HOT FIX and BOOTCAMP SUPPORT is activated on windows)

    You have been too cleaver for a Boot Camp install.
    The partition system does NOT like anything other than a standard arrangement which creates 4 partitions.
    EFI -200mb
    OSx - Extended Journaled
    Buffer-200mb
    Windows -NTFS
    Return to OSx -Open Boot Camp tool from the utilities folder reset to a single partition.
    Start again and when you get to Windows - Let all the drivers load on the CREATED partition. Use the External for storage !
    Just for your information, as it doesn't seem you have ever used BC.
    When starting the boot camp assistant the first thing it want to do is download the Windows Support drivers and asks you to save them to a DVD, it will also allow you to save them to your OS X hard drive or to any drive connected to the system. Once those drivers are downloaded it then starts the Win install. What you must do is copy those support drives to a media that Windows can See and Read from. Like a DVD or a thumb drive formatted FAT32
    No where in the OPs post does he say anything about fooling with any partitions on his internal drive other then creating the BC partition.
    His problem is he saved those support files to a Mac OS X formatted external drive. Windows can not read Mac Extended (Journaled) formatted drives. So he can't load the drivers for Windows until he copies those support files ove to something that Windows can read.

  • Issue with GEAR Software CD/DVD Drivers + Windows Vista Beta 2 (build 5384)

    I am using Windows Vista Beta 2 (Build 5384), and yes I know Vista is NOT officially supported by iTunes yet. However, iTunes installs and works ok for me, except that there is an issue with the GEAR Software drivers that it installs (used for cd burning and importing). The issue is that the driver (GEARAspiWDM.sys) is not compatible with Windows Vista. Normally this would not be an issue; I would just use a different program to create audio cd's. The issue is that the drive makes both my DVD-Rom and my DVD/CD-RW drive disappears (they are still listed in the device manager, but they have driver errors, code 39).
    So I was wondering if anyone in Mac/Apple land knows of a way to disable/uninstall the GEAR drivers so I can still use iTunes?
    And yes I did search the GEAR Software support page, but could not find an appropriate solution.
    Thank you.
    Chuck Stewart

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • X220 with Windows 7 (64 bit) Pro using SSD Samsung 840 (500G) drive

    I am using a Thinkpad X220 (4291) laptop with 8 gigs of RAM.  I recently switched my HDD for an SSD (Samsung 840 which is 500G).  I have been following the posts and have set the BIOS accordingly as well as updated firmware for the drive.  I use Crystal Disk Mark for measuring the read/write of the drive and am not getting the speeds I should.  I currently get:

    I have an X220 with W8 Pro and Samsung 840 Pro.  Getting 528 read and 474 sequential write.   Did you install the Samsung Magician software and update the firmware on the SSD? 
    Samsung Magician will also provide a speedtest you can check against crystal disk mark.
    Lots of sites for optimizing SSD settings but unless it is a firmware issue I don't know why you would get such slower speeds.

  • Installing AMD Video Drivers - Windows 8.1 (Step-By-Step Tutorial)

    I am currently in the process of installing the latest AMD Video Drivers for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) on a Bootcamp partition.  I previously had three ATI Radeon HD2600XT Graphics cards (in CrossFire) installed in a 2008 Apple Mac Pro.
    I've run into several problems with trying to remove the Radeon HD2600XT graphics cards and install the latest drivers (for the Radeon R9 290 graphics card) in Windows 8.1 (64-bit), so I am creating this to be used as tutorial for others experiencing similar problems.
    1) First I created a new/clean system restore point in Windows 8.1 prior to starting this.
          Instructions can be found here:  http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-create-restore-point-in-windows-8-1/
    2) Second, I manually tried removing/uninstalling the AMD Software from add/remove programs in Windows 8.1 (Control Panel)
          In Computer Control Panel, select "uninstall a program" 
          Select AMD Install Manager (and any Catalyst Software) and remove/uninstall the software (choose "express uninstall all AMD software").
          Be sure to uninstall the AMD Install Manager.
    3) In my system, the hardware drivers for the three Radeon XT2600 graphics cards were not properly removed, and the drivers for the Radeon R9 290 were not properly installed.
    4) I tried running the AMD Driver Autodetect Tool
          It stated "We were unable to find your product or OS" (and failed to download or install any drivers)
          AMD Driver Autodetect displayed the following information:
    Graphics hardware:  0x1002 - 0x9588 PCIE
    Operating system: Windows 8.1 64-bit
    5) Since the latest software/drivers were not found with the AMD Driver Autodetect, I decided to manually download the latest Graphics card drivers from the AMD website for my graphics card and for my operating system (Windows 8.1 64-bit).  I created a folder called "C:\Drivers\AMD" and downloaded the latest AMD Graphics card drivers (Catalyst Software Suite 14.9) to that folder and unzipped the AMD drivers installation file.  I unzipped the file which included the following drivers/files:
          Catalyst Software Suite 14.9 includes the following files:
                AMD Display Driver ver. 14.301.1001
                              OpenCL(tm) Driver
                              Catalyst Control Center
                              HydraVision
    6) I downloaded and unzipped DDU v13.5.1.3 (downloaded from 3D Guru)
        I created a folder called "C:\Drivers\DDUv13.5.1.3" and unzipped the DDU installation files to that folder
    7) I ran DDU v13.5.1.3 (downloaded from 3D Guru)
          It displayed the following information:
    DDU Version:13.5.1.3
    GPU # 0000 Detected : ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1)
    GPU DeviceId : pci\ven_1002&dev_9588
    Detected Driver(s) Version(s) : 8.97.10.6
    INF : oem55.inf
    INF Section : ati2mtag_RV630
    GPU # 0001 Detected : ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1)
    GPU DeviceId : pci\ven_1002&dev_9588
    Detected Driver(s) Version(s) : 8.97.10.6
    INF : oem55.inf
    INF Section : ati2mtag_RV630
    GPU # 0002 Detected : AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
    GPU DeviceId : pci\ven_1002&dev_67b1
    Detected Driver(s) Version(s) : 13.251.9001.1001
    INF : oem63.inf
    INF Section : ati2mtag_Hawaii
    5) Based on the output above, it seems that some extremely old drivers are currently installed (v13.251.9001.1001), and I need to remove the old drivers for the hardware above, and try to install the latest AMD drivers (v14.9)
    6) I rebooted the computer into Windows 8.1 "Safe Mode". 
        Instructions can be found here:  http://www.7tutorials.com/5-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-8-windows-81
    7) I went to the folder called "C:\Drivers\DDUv13.5.1.3" and ran DDU v13.5.1.3 and selected "Clean and restart" (in DDU 13.5.1.3) to remove ALL of the existing AMD drivers and to restart/reboot the computer.
      - After removing the current display drivers (in safe mode) with DDU v13.5.1.3 and after the system rebooted, I then tried to perform a "clean install" of the latest AMD drivers (v14.9)
    8) Now perform a "Clean Install" of the new AMD graphics drivers.  Steps for performing a "clean install" (from AMD's website) are listed below:
    To perform a 'clean install' of AMD graphics drivers:
    You should make a system restore point before attempting, just in case
    1. IMPORTANT: All Windows Updates should be current, including the 'optional/suggested' updates
    2. IMPORTANT: Disable all anti-virus/ad blockers/anti-malware/ anti-anything before trying to install
    3. IMPORTANT: Netframework is required and must be the latest version. (from Windows Update)
    Download the drivers for your computer to the desktop. Follow steps 1-5 ( http://support.amd.com/en-us/download ).
    Do not use 'auto-detect and install (it might not detect your graphics card or best drivers).
    Delete existing drivers from your computer:
    In computer control panel select 'uninstall a program'
    For computers with Intel processors:
    Select AMD install manager and choose 'express uninstall all AMD software'
    Including the install manager.
    For computers with AMD processors:
    Select AMD install manager and 'custom uninstall' the graphics drivers and CCC only.
    Reboot into 'safe mode'
    In safe mode run Guru 3D's DDU
    Reboot
    Install the new driver suite.
    9) I went to the folder called "C:\Drivers\AMD\AMD-Catalyst-14-9-win7-win8.1-64Bit-dd-ccc-whql" and ran setup.exe  (Catalyst Install Manager)
         I selected "Express Install" as the default installation (highly recommended).
    10) Rebooted the system after the Catalyst software and video driver installation.

    In the end, I found out that the latest/newest Radeon drivers do not support the older Apple Radeon 2600XT graphics cards, so I was forced to remove the older Radeon 2600XT graphics cards from the system (so the newest/latest Radeon Catalyst Drivers would work).  I was then able to boot directly into Windows 8.1 Pro, and the AMD Catalyst software and AMD Catalyst Drivers worked perfectly with the R9 290 graphics card (in Windows 8.1 Pro).
    The only problem is that the AMD R9 290 is not supported in OS X, and now I can't boot directly into OS X because the Apple OS X graphics card drivers are missing and don't exist.  Apple hasn't added AMD R9 290 graphics card support to the latest version of Apple OS X 10.10 Yosemite (or 10.9).
    I posted a thread here about needing the AMD R9 290 graphics display drivers, but Apple still hasn't added the latest AMD Radeon R9 290 graphics card drivers support to the latest Apple Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite operating system.
    Another big Apple fail! 
    So now we have a wonderful new high-end AMD R9 290 graphics card and all we can do is use our Apple Mac Pro computers as Windows 8.1 Pro computers, because Apple has not updated their Apple OS X operating system to support the newest/latest AMD R9 290 graphics cards.  (So we're stuck with using our Apple Mac Pro as a Windows 8.1 Pro computer) because Apple refuses to add the newest/latest hardware drivers to their latest Apple OS X operating system.  Anytime you purchase an Apple computer you are stuck using really old hardware because Apple fails to update their operating system with the newest/latest hardware drivers for the latest AMD R9 290 graphics card hardware.
    The only way to use the latest/newest hardware is with a Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro computer.  Hopefully Apple will get this fixed immediately, but it's already been close to a year now and Apple still hasn't fixed the problem.
    We tried to contact Sapphire, and AMD, but both of them have said that it's a problem with Apple's Mac OS X operating system, and that only Apple can fix the problem and add the proper hardware drivers to their operating system.

  • Graphics Card Does Not Show Up In Device Manager (Re: Installing AMD Video Drivers - Windows 8.1 (Step-By-Step Tutorial)

    This tutorial is a step-by-step tutorial on how to "fix" issues of a new graphics card not appearing in Windows 8.1 Pro, or not appearing (as a device) in Device Manager, or it's not being detected by Windows 8.1.
    This is the "second part" of a Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to install AMD Radeon graphics card drivers in Windows 8.1 Pro.
    GRAPHICS CARD IS NOT DETECTED AND DOES NOT SHOW UP IN WINDOWS 8.1 DEVICE MANAGER
    This problem can appear if the video card is not installed properly in the PCI slot and as a result the card is not detected in device manager. Check the physical connections again, reinsert the card properly in the PCI slot, check the connections (including the power cables going to the video card, and ensure that the fan on the graphics card is spinning and the card does have power and is properly seated/inserted) and then install the drivers from the manufacturer’s website.
    If the video card is in fact installed properly, but the problem of the video card not being discovered/found by the operating system persists, then try these following methods below to check if this solves the problem.
    Method 1:
    First, I would suggest you to run the following Microsoft Fixit to get the problem automatically detected and fixed. This Microsoft "fixit" App checks if the device is currently disabled or turned off or the driver is not installed.
    Hardware devices are not working or are not detected in Windows.
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us
    Method 2:
    Sometimes, some devices in device manager are hidden due to corrupt or missing drivers.
    Follow the steps below to show hidden devices in the device manager and troubleshoot accordingly.
    Press the Windows key + X
    Select Command Prompt (Admin)
    Type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 and hit enter
    Type Start DEVMGMT.MSC and hit enter.
    Once in Device Manager hit the View menu and select show hidden devices.
    From here, remove each instance of the AMD or Nvidia card you see as well as each unknown device. Exit Device Manager and reinstall the latest drivers you can find for your graphics card.
    After you install the drivers, reboot and see if you get any different results.
    If the above solved your problems and the Graphics Card is now working and is now being properly detected/displayed in Windows Device Manager:
    If your graphics card is now being detected by Windows 8.1 in Device Manager, but has a "yellow exclamation" mark (or video drivers are not found or not properly installed or the device is disabled) then install the latest graphics card drivers and proceed with this Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to install AMD Radeon graphics card drivers in Windows 8.1 Pro.
    Method 3:
    If methods suggested above does not help, I would recommend you to contact Apple/AMD/NVIDIA to get the latest chipset, BIOS, graphics card drivers installed properly.

    If the video card is in fact installed properly, but the problem of the video card not being discovered/found by the operating system persists, then try these following methods below to check if this solves the problem.
    Method 1:
    First, I would suggest you to run the following Microsoft Fixit to get the problem automatically detected and fixed. This Microsoft "fixit" App checks if the device is currently disabled or turned off or the driver is not installed.
    Hardware devices are not working or are not detected in Windows.

    Method 2:
    Sometimes, some devices in device manager are hidden due to corrupt or missing drivers.
    Follow the steps below to show hidden devices in the device manager and troubleshoot accordingly.
    Press the Windows key + X
    Select Command Prompt (Admin)
    Type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 and hit enter
    Type Start DEVMGMT.MSC and hit enter.
    Once in Device Manager hit the View menu and select show hidden devices.
    From here, remove each instance of the AMD or Nvidia card you see as well as each unknown device. Exit Device Manager and reinstall the latest drivers you can find for your graphics card.
    After you install the drivers, reboot and see if you get any different results.
    If the above solved your problems and the Graphics Card is now working and is now being properly detected/displayed in Windows Device Manager:
    If your graphics card is now being detected by Windows 8.1 in Device Manager, but has a "yellow exclamation" mark (or video drivers are not found or not properly installed or the device is disabled) then install the latest graphics card drivers and proceed with this Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to install AMD Radeon graphics card drivers in Windows 8.1 Pro.
    Method 3:
    If methods suggested above does not help, I would recommend you to contact Apple/AMD/NVIDIA to get the latest chipset, BIOS, graphics card drivers installed properly.

  • HOW DO I UNINSTALL WINDOWS 8.1 PREVIEW FROM MACBOOK PRO (SNOW LEOPARD)... CAN NOT FIND README FILE FOR WINDOWS PREVIEW. PLEASE HELP

    how can i uninstall windows 8.1 preview from my macbook pro?? ive looked for over an hour for the readme file for the windows 8.1 preview and have had no luck. ive done almost everything i can think of at the moment and nothing is working. somebody please help, thanks

    Windows 8.1 Preview cannot be uninstalled. However, if what you want is to remove Windows completely, start up in OS X, open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps to remove the Windows partition.
    If what you want is to install the final Windows 8.1 version, read this Microsoft support article > http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/update-from-preview

  • HP Deskjet 5740 Drivers, Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    I have had this printer working on XP for years.
    I have purchased a new PC with Windows 8.1, it Works there.
    I can install on XP and share with 8.1 but that is back asswards, The win 8.1 will be my main PC.
    I have it installed on 8.1 and would like to share it with the XP machine.
    When I try to add the printer on XP I get a message:
    The server does not have the proper HP5700 series installed.
    I have downloaded and installed 8,1 64 bit, OK.
    Cannot use install disk from years ago.
    I believe that I need to install 32 bit drivers on Win 8.1 to share with XP.
    I am lost, I cannot find any thing online, just sites trying to install all kinds of garbage.
    Is there an install from HP that will allow me to share 8.2 64 bit to the XP 32 bit?
    Thanks,
    Raney

    Hey there @Raney , Welcome to the Forums!
    I noticed your post about wanting to share your Deskjet 5740 from your Windows 8.1 to your XP machine. As you have found in your research, this just won't work. There are no drivers available at all for this model of printer and Windows 8.1 (check here). The old disks will not work as they're not compatible with Windows 8.1.
    You will most likely have to stick with the "backwards" way unless you look into upgrading your printer.
    I hope that helps clear up the situation for you.
    All the best!
