X220 Tablet and Windows 8.1 - Limited Touch drops with Intel HD 3000 is installed?

I have installed Windows 8.1 Professional on on a Lenovo X220 Tablet and everything seems to have installed correctly, although my system, which supported limited touch with 2 touch points in Windows 7, only has Pen Support in 8.1.
I have been able to get the system to be recognized as "Pen and Limited Touch Support with 2 Touch Points" but only if I disable/unintall the Intel HD 3000 driver, and use Microsoft Basic Display Adapter instead.  The problem is that the resolution isn't as crisp.  
Any recommendations as to what I can do to get the limted touch to be recognized with the Intel HD 3000 driver?  This one is baffling.  
Any help would be appreciated. 
The X220 Tablet's type is 4296-2WU
Also, the Intel HD Graphics 3000 driver is the latest version compatible with 8.1 64bit - 9.17.10.3517.
Update: I have also tried the previous Intel driver release, 9.17.10.3347, as well as the recommend Intel driver from the support page 9.17.10.2843 and non of them allow my screen to do Limited Touch Support with 2 Touch Points.  Yet, if I disable the Intel driver, and restart, I can.  

Troy,
Thanks for sharing your expeirences and the details of the driver version.
Officially, I don't think Lenovo provided full support for Win 8 on the X220, but as you note it (and the upgrade to 8.1) can work with some limitations.   I'll check with one of our software engineers to see if he may have some suggestions on this one.
I expect you will probably draw some responses from the community as the X220 was a very popular system with a good following.

  • Hi, I have a new laptop and would like to syncronise my iphone with iTunes (which I have installed again). But my old laptop has died so I could not transfer any media files, etc. Can I simply connect my iPhone to the laptop without any data being lost?

  • Flash won't run, says its not loaded, when its embedded on samsung tablet and Windows 8.

    On samsung tablet 500T windows 8 flash is embedded.  It says when I try to run flash that it is not loaded.  I followed all of the help and made sure all of the settings are correct.  It still will not run.  The only error is that it is NOT LOADED to download it from adobe.

    Hmm, have you verified that active x filtering is not enabled?  You've probably tried the steps outlined here but take a look just in case.

    Not so far, only for Apple, although there has been a statement about it being available for Android devices at some point in the future.

  • Wacom Intuos Tablet and Pen not working on new iMac with OSX 10.9.4

    Hi there, I've been using an A3 Wacom Intuos tablet and pen for many years now on a 2006 iMac for my illustration work, but I cannot get them to appear or work on my new iMac with OSX 10.9.4.  I think they are the original Wacom Intuos tablet and pen.  Does anyone know if they are just out of date now and aren't supported on the new OSX 10.9.4?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I need to work and it's frustrating!
    Many thanks,

    I have done as you suggested; I uninstalled PSE 11 and set my wife's account up as admin and reinstalled from there. Still have the same problem with my wife's account, but when I went to mine it is working correctly. Any ideas on why that would be? I'm sure it should work on both accounts. I have 2 accounts on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and it works on both.
    Thanks for your help; at least it's working on my account so that's a great improvement.

  • I already partitioned my hdd via Bootcamp, supports downloaded, and windows is on an external USB. How can I start installing Windows now? at startup it doesnt show up as bootable device...

    hi,
    I am having a problem installing windows via bootcamp.
    I already partitioned my hdd via Bootcamp, downloaded and copied all the supports for windows, and windows is on an external USB as well. I had to stop the process the other day, so i shut down the computer. Now I am trying to boot from the USB, but I cant get to that point where the computer should restart and windows would start installing.
    . After restarting, holding command, it doesnt show up as bootable device.
    How shall I move forward? My disk is already partitioned, and if i start the whole process from the beginning, it wants me to partition again - although I already made a 100GB partition for windows.
    Please help me out.
    best,
    Zoltan

    So, here is what happened when I tried to make it.(sorry for quality, i had to take them by phone)
    At first when I opened it I saw that I could simply resolve it just by stretching the arrow at the bottom, giving the 100 GB back which I partitioned before via Bootcamp. At this point options was not available.
    I didnt do it because you mentioned earlier that it might be not designed to install windows.
    The second thing I tried I choose 1 Partition from Partition Layout. This time Options were available but I didnt see anything like GPT, the onces that are optionable are on the screenshot.
    What do you think how shall I move on? I was thinking to give it a shot with option 1, just stretch it back and try everything from scratch.

  • I'm trying to use 10 in win 8 on a Acer 500 tablet and it doesn't seem to work with touch. It's like it's too sensitive and can't ever manage to hit the items intended. IE 9 and 10 seem to work just fine.

    Firefox 10, win 8 consumer preview. Acer-500 Tablet.
    Firefox apparently isn't optimized for touch or if there are adjustments or options I haven't been able to find them. This problem was also apparent in the Development preview on Win 8. I gave up trying to use Firefox and went with IE 9/10 which both worked fine using touch. I thought since installing win 8 consumer something might have changed but the problem still persists. I've tried a stylus to see if it was just my fat fingers but to no avail. Any ideas?

    I tested both ways. With "open in low resolution" ckecked the size of the images is cool, but it is low-resolution including Photoshop appearance.
    If "open in low resolution" is unckecked the appearance is good but the very small size.
    See the image below. It has 650 x 732 px, 72 dpi. The font of the text "Neste aniversário ..." is with 18pt.

  • Wall and/or Car charging iPod Touch 32GB with cell phone/other USB charger

    I know the "stock" answer is to buy an iPod compatible charger for my $300 device, but while traveling, it's nice to pack less gadget chargers and more gadgets
    Can I safely charge my iPod Touch with my LG Phone charger ("5.1V - .07A" output)?
    I also have a wall charger for my Flip Video ("+5VDC, 1A(5W)")
    Does anyone have the specs for an Apple brand iPod Touch 32GB charger?
    Thanks!!

    My experience is that you just have to try 3rd party USB chargers. Some work, some don't, and it doesn't appear to just be the power specs. I had a 3rd party charger that ran my iPod 5G video just fine, but didn't work on my Touch 32GB (1st gen). My Apple charger is 5 volts/1 Ampere, as is my Kensington that also works.
    You might mention what generation your IPT 32GB is, in case someone knows of some difference.

  • Windows 8.1 Data reordering issue with Intel Adaptors

    According to Intel, there is a data reordering issue with their adaptors and probably this dumb WIDI software. This is from Intel site. they say some are fixed, "A future Windows 8 fix will address this issue for other Intel wireless adapters." I
    have one Nope, still broke. I get drops all the time. Brand new Toshiba laptop I7 16 gigs of ram and a SSD and a 2 gig Vid card. Would be nice to be able to play games but I get dropped all the time. Now would Microsoft quit hiding
    about this, and fix the darn thing. Also i'm a system admin for 13 years. I have build over 1000 PCs and servers. I know bad software. Please fix this. PLEASE. Its not going to just go away and its not just Toshiba, I have seen other companies with the
    same problem. If there is a Fix PLEASE POST IT. Or even a workaround I have tried everything.

    Yep didn't work. Still get drops all the time, had to run a Cat 5E cable to my laptop from my modem, because I have Atheros Gigabyte Lan adaptor. Works Great. The Wireless still drops all the time. Has Microsoft let out the patch to fix this or is it coming in
    April in the 8.1 patch that's coming. Funny thing is all for Widi, I don't even use widi, I got the software to do that from Samsung works better on my TV. Intel and Microsoft need to get this fixed. because their driving off gamers and that's the
    people that make sure they buy Microsoft so they can play games. With the wireless link dead and a great laptop worthless what's the point. Ive been in IT for 13 years building PCs  and Servers how I knew how to run a 60 FT Cat 5e line thru
    a 2 story house and terminate it. Most people don't. Fix the problem.

  • HT1338 I have happily been using Airdrop and printing wirelessly to my Epson WF 7520 printer until this morning when I started my Quad Core 2.4 and got the wireless icon grayed out with a "wi-fi not installed" message. Restarts do nothing. Ideas?

    Anyone else having issues with their wi-fi suddenly disappearing?
    Is this really a hardware issue out of the blue or could this be a software bug?

  • Choppy and Laggy especially Ichat on C2D Imac with intel graphics

    Last night I upgraded from 10.4.10 to leopard on my Imac C2D. Now my Imac has the integrated Intel graphics and not a fully fledged Ati but this has never been an issue before as Tiger was always nippy. I have 1.256mb ram, due to having a 1GB stick and a 256MB.
    I performed an upgrade install and it all went fine. Initially though the system was very laggy and choppy, especially when using the dock, coverflow and even screensavers. Having used coverflow extensively in Itunes I can say it was never an issue before. I then decided to check out Ichat. Ichat was extremely choppy in particular with its video capture which lagged several seconds behind and even dropped frames. When I tried the effects these were about the same, no worse really and the background substitution effects worked very poorly with most of me missing.
    I rebooted after installing the second wave of updates for Leopard and there was a significant increase in performance but its still choppy in places. I’m not sure if it’s due to my integrated graphics and wondered had anyone else had a similar issue, such as Macbook or Mac Mini users?
    I’ve ordered a second 1GB stick from Crucial and hope this will bottom out any potential memory bottleneck but can’t help worrying it’s the Intel graphics. Would Apple seriously use Intel graphics only to release a OS which struggles with it?

    In part thats a relief. I did not move over to Tiger until is was 10.4.6 to ensure stability and was always pleased with its performance. In truth Leopard works fine but graphically it does seem to have speed issues which i had put down to the GMA Intel graphics.
    I really find Ichat and coverflow the worst afflicated and notice the minimal slow down I'm guessing more due to the excellent performance I had previously in Tiger.
    In Ichat the video effects are terrible and the interactive rear screen fail to detect me properly. In coverflow in the finder the delay is less noticable but you can see the icons sharpen up after a second or two.
    Hopefully Apple will sort this out shortly.

  • X220 Tablet Windows 8 Wi-Fi Trouble

    Hello,
    In January, I upgraded the hard drive in my X220 Tablet and installed Windows 8 to the new hard drive.  Since doing so, I've been having trouble with the Wi-Fi on the computer.  It does this thing from time to time (a few times a week) where the Wi-Fi just cuts out, and doesn't think any networks are available, although the networking adapter is enabled.  Usually I can fix things by disabling and enabling the networking adapter a few times, but I'm getting tired of having to do this.  The problem is entirely with the computer, and not with my network, as it will do this on number of different networks, and the problem is not with the networking components.  
    Has anyone else had similar issues?  Does anyone have any advice on how to fix it?

    Hi garebear22,
    thanks forposting and sorry for the late intrusion. I was wondering which try ofwireless card was installed in yourmachine?
    Do let me know

  • X220 tablet - sound suddenly stopped working from speakers and headphone (but not bluetooth)

    X220 tablet (about 2.5 yrs old, out of warranty) was working completely fine last night; this morning, no sound is coming from the laptop, either through speakers or through headphones (audio jack).  I am, however, able to get sound through a bluetooth-connected speaker.
    I had hoped this was a software issue.  Tried uninstalling/installing all sound devices, updating BIOS, updating drivers, system restore to previous date, rebooting a million times, etc.  No joy.
    When I run the sound troubleshooter, it says that no speaker, headset, or headphone appears to be plugged in.  The sound icon has a little red circle/white X next to it.  When I try to plug in headphones, nothing happens -- does not seem to detect the event.  When I press the mute and volume buttons on the tablet, no response.
    Also, under Device Manager -> Sound, video and game controllers, it lists only "Bluetooth Hands-free Audio" and "Intel Display Audio".  I don't think either of these is the normal X220 audio driver, is it?  What else should be there?  I downloaded the Conexant Audio Software from Lenovo's site (this is what came up when I searched for audio drivers for the X220 tablet), and tried to install it, but halfway through, it said the install failed because it couldn't locate the device for the driver.
    This sounds like it's a hardware problem -- any way to verify?  Also, which piece of hardware exactly?  Is it the sound card (that's presumably integrated into the motherboard --> no easy fix)?  I'm guessing it's not the speakers themselves since the headphone jack is also affected, but what is my best line of testing at this point to confirm that?  If it IS the sound card, any suggestions on the best fix?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I was wrong - I did upgrade to a 3 yr warranty (had forgotten about this) so hopefully it's covered!
    Thanks for having me double check!
