X240s Halt with Windows 8.1

There's a problem after upgraded to windows 8.1
when the display is gone to sleep, that cannot be waked again.
at that moment, the keyboard fn key light and USB unplug sound are still working.
The only way to recover is push and hold the power botton for a force shutdown.

Hi, All,

I googled online, it is said this is a malware or virus. but I have not found an tool to remove it under windows 8.1. do you guys have any idea?
regards,

As long as this is a self-diagnosis after your AV was turned off, it might be good if you post on a dedicated security site that can advivse you on running some diagnostic tools and does malware removal if necessary. This forum is not set up for that.
I suggest posting the required DDS logs on the Malware Removal Forum at SpywareHammer or another site with trained analysts and have a malware removal staff member walk you through the diagnostic logs and a cleanup. They do not use remote access but will advise you step-by-step on what you can do. Please do not attempt to run any additional scans, install software, or use any other tools until an analyst can advise you on the next step. Please use the same username there as you have here. Help is free. There are no advertisements or trackers on SpywareHammer as some of the other security forums have, but you will need to register at SpywareHammer and follow the posting instructions for downloading DDS and posting your logs.

X240 Network Driver issue with Windows PE

HelloI am working with OSD deployment in a big organisation. We are using SCCM 2012 SP1 to deploy new computers with our own image and applications. The new Thinkpad X240 is causing a big problem at the moment since we do not seem to be able to find an appropriate Ethernet network driver for the built-in Intel ethernet interface that is working in winPE 4.0. This is what happens.The computer boots, I press the F12 key, the computer presents a list of bootable devices, I choose the ethernet NIC.The computer PXE boots - it recieves an DHCP address from our server, downloads boot.wim, downloads the boot.winPE.boot.wim file and then starts winPE on the X240. It gets to "Preparing Network Connections", hangs there for a while, and then it reboots.If I use the F8 option and run ipconfig, it reports "Windows IP Configuration" and nothing else. If I run /renew it says "The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation". There seems to be no NIC available to winPE to start the Task Sequence with.I have downloaded the Windows 8 x64 Network driver and the Windows 7 x64 enterprise driver package Network driver from Lenovo, for this model and injected the Network drivers in the WinPe boot file. Neither of these drivers is working with the Network Interface in winPE. We do not have any problems with any other models, they all install with our SCCM 2012 SP1. Is there anyone who have experienced and resolved this? Kind regardsNick

Hello, I experiencing the strikly same situation with the same configuration :- SCCM 2012 SP1,- SCCM 2012 SP1 Boot Image x86 4.0,- Lenovo X240,- Drivers Lenovo SCCM package for Windows 7 (32-bit) http://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/downloads/ds038819- Task Sequence W7x86. No problem when deploying an adaptated Task Sequence with Lenovo X250. However, WinPE don't allowing the network adapter to get a TCP IP configuration when deploying with Lenovo X240. To resolve this situation, do you use :- the standard boot image in the Windows 8 DVD or a customized one with Windows ADK ?- your boot image is this a x86 type or x64 ?- In case of a customized Boot Image, have you, please, some advice to give to use Windows ADK ? Best regards

[Consolidation Locked] Is Photoshop Elements 10 compatible with Windows 8?

I am currently running Photoshop elements 10 and Premiere elements 10 (64Bit) on a Windows 7 Home Premium machine. The Hardware specs are pretty good, with a I7 2.5 processor, 8GB RAM, 2GB dedicated video card etc.
I was planning to upgrade myself to Windows 8 Professional using the $14 offer... however, need to know for sure that these 2 software work with Windows 8 and there are no issues.
Is there anyone here, who has tried to run these 2 software on Windows 8, and if so, what has been your experience. Are there any issues, or any performance lags?
I am pretty sure I do not want to pay the additional dollars to upgrade to version 11, so all responses will be very helpful indeed.
Thanks in advance.

I have tried v10 under Win8 and my findings were not that encouraging. I don't know if it's due to my Wacom driver or an inherent flaw in PSE10, but I get severe cursor lag. Not just with the brushes, but also with the regular cursor. I'll move the cursor only to have it halt for half a second and then continue. Stop. Go. Stop. Go. Stop. Go. It has made PSE10 totally unusable.
I haven't tried v11 under Win8. Even if it did work well, I still wouldn't use it.
Now, bear in mind, this is just my opinion. However, the new changes to the GUI have really turned me off. Previously, PSE looked and felt like a somewhat crippled version of the CSx Photoshop, which is a good thing. The GUI was polished, no nonsense, and well organized. The dark, neutral UI was perfect for editing various photos and textures. PSE10 was, imo, the best version yet.
PSE11 feels like a total step backwards. The core functionality is still there, but the GUI feels much more like a toy now. They even changed the icons. The design, to me, screams, "You're a helpless n00b. You probably won't understand Photoshop on your own so we'll hold your hand." No longer does it feel like CS-lite. It feels more like a community modded version, as if PSE and GIMP merged. It feels very weird and uncomfortable to use. By default, there is far too much clutter. As I said, all of the core functionality you loved is still there. It's just hidden beneath an ugly and very unprofessional looking UI.
Finances being what they are, I've gone back to Corel PSP, now in version X5. It's missing some of my favorite Adobe features, like the content aware healing brush, but it does the job and doesn't fight me. I wish that Adobe would realize that people just want to get the job done. The GUI should stay the heck out of the way. PSE11's design is not aimed at power users.

"Your PC's CPU isn't compatible with Windows 8". How to turn on XD flag on IdeaPad z570 BIOS?

When I attempt to UPGRADE (not a clean install) from Windows 7 sp1 to Windows 8 Release Preview, the installer halts and shows the message "Your PC's CPU isn't compatible with Windows 8.". In searching for a resolution to this, some people have had success in avoiding this error and successfully installing Windows 8 by turning on the XD setting in the computer's BIOS security tab. My Lenovo z570 Intel i7 BIOS version 45CN47WW does not display this setting and so I cannot change it. How can I change it? I found comments on Lenovo's site that ThinkPad laptops BIOS had been updated to be able to switch this xd flag on, but found nothing for the IdeaPad z570 BIOS.
A work around was to use a different installer: the setup.exe located in the sources folder of the Windows 8 install cd/usb drive. This installer does not check for the xd to be on. But I will need to set my Lenovo laptop's xd flag on when the final version of Windows 8 is released.

Could be too that things will be different in the final version with the NX bit setting than in the ctp. Nice that there is a workaround available :-) for the tech preview.

T61 Freezes with Windows 7 Ultimate

I have had my Lenovo T61 7662CT since May 2007. It used to run fine with Windows Vista Home Premium. Until I installed Windows 7 Ultimate. Generally it operates fine, but every now an then (about every 15-30 minutes) the OS just freezes, there cursor turns into the busy icon (rotating ring thingy) and everything becomes non responsive. The freeze lasts for about 45 secs - 1 minute and then it unfreezes and goes back to normal. It does not happen during any specific activity, I've seen it happen during video streaming, page scrolling, switching through browser tabs, going through my desktop based photo gallery. It's terribly annoying.
This is what I have tried and has not worked for me:
- I have tried re-installing Windows 7 more than two times but the problem persists.
- I updated almost all my drivers (incl. NVIDIA graphics driver) to the latest one from the lenovo t61 driver downloads but the problem would not go away.
- Halted all spyware and virus scanning services running in the background.
- Even after a fresh windows install (with no extra applications installed), I see this issue.
Btw. Windows Vista and Ubuntu run fine (and even Windows 7 Beta ran fine).
Hoping anyone else seen this issue with a Lenovo T61 7662CT and has found a solution. I love my laptop but this issue drives me nuts (and please don't make me go back to Vista)
Thanks

System halting with Second disk

My Early 2011 MBP suddenly stopped sleeping a while back. In googling I found that the DVD drive was the culprit (cable not seated properly) So I just took the whole thing out because the OWC data doubler (DD) was on sale.
Used the data doubler with a 60gb ssd with Windows 7 installed for about 7 months. It worked great! Very fast too!
Then about halfway through the semester, my system ground to a halt, it wouldn't shut down, it wouldn't sleep, it barely booted. When I did get it to boot, the keyboard wouldn't work... When it wouldn't boot, the EFI commands wouldn't work.
I finally remembered the DVD issue and unplugged the DD, my Mac sprang back to life! Been working great since, but if the secondary isn't working, what's keeping the pirmary from failing in the same way?
My question to you, has anyone else seen the secondary sata controller fail like this before?

Well, you have to use something to restore the files. To restore to the way it was originally, you would need the recovery disks from HP. They put 4 partitions on the hard drive and put the utilities and recovery files on separate partitions. The system partition will then direct the boot to the utilities, recovery or the operating system. What operating system did you have in 2004? Was it windows XP home, pro? Can you read the 25 digit key code for the windows?

Halts at Windows splash screen

My rig is halting at windows start up. I get 4 green LEDS, can start in safe-mode. On start up i get the "windows was not shut down properly" screen and a choice of start modes, choosing safe works OK. Otherwise the machine stops at he Windows XP x64 splash screen but the screen is very dark. There are no disks in any removable drives. The machine was shut down normally yesterday. I did install AVAST home edition a few day ago. Don't want to re-install Windows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey... remember this old story... Well it's turned into a nightmare on this end.
I've RMA's the video card, and the motherboard, replaced the power supply. I've got the same exact error:
safe mode -OK
safe mode with VGA - LOCK UP!
both XP - 32 and 64
I'm left with CPU or RAM. OR... one of the manufacturers sent me the same exact part right back. Oodly the motherboards date and time are as wrong as when I RMA'd it.
Still stuck any help would be greatly appreciated.

Syncing iphone with windows 7 contacts - error message outlook.pst not foun

I have set set up ITunes to sync my Iphone GS with Windows Contacts. When I sync I get an error message :
The file c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\Outlook.pst could not be found
Sometimes the error message comes up 2 or 3 times.
Secondly, my Iphone is syncing with something because an old version of my windows address book is now on my iphone. Of course if I add a new contact to Windows Contacts, it does not appear on my iphone.
I dont have Outlook installed on my PC. It was removed, but I guess I do have an old outlook.pst file from my old times with Windows XP.
So how does Itunes manage the sync and how can I stop it syncing with my old address book and use Windows Contacts? I have tried resetting my sync history but it did not work.
I am running Windows7 (upgrade from Vista).

I am also having issues with syncing my Iphone 3GS with the latest version on Itunes. I have for a long while now been doing just great. My contacts, phone numbers, emails have all synced very nicely, no problems. As soon as I downloaded the new Itunes 9.1 I can no longer sync contacts, and calendars, as usual.
I tried several things that were suggested to me in the troubleshooting but nothing has helped. It usually tells me that my computer is not set up for syncing, and after arranging that it still doesn't work. As well, it says it cannot find the requested services.
Please help.
I am running windows 7, and have been for a while, it's not windows 7, it's the new Itunes upgrade.

IPod Classic - ok with Windows, not with iTunes

Hi,
I have a Classic 160GO iPod.
Suddenly this problem appeared :
- no music or pictures were recognized by my iPod, but the disk space was used for "Other"
- this iPod is not known with iTunes
- This iPod is known as a removable hard disk, via Windows 7 (Main computer), Windows XP (secondary computer), a linux thing (a friend computer).
1. I already checked this iPod with the diagnostics mode (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/19048752#19048752)
result is :
- reallocs : 0
- Pending sectors : 32
My understanding is that my iPod hard disk is ok and valid.
2. I followed most of the recommended way to repaird the iPod as per Support (8 out of 10)
NOthing is working.
I confirm I have installed the latest version of iTunes.
3. I read the following page : https://discussions.apple.com/message/19158071#19158071 to find the relevant firmware.
But the iPod Classic 160GO is not in the list.
My questions
--> Do you have an idea to solve my problem ?
--> What could happend i I format my iPod with windows ? It would be only a hard disk after, wouldn't it ?
--> I f I format, is there a solution to re-install the iPod software (= firmware ?)
Thank you for your help.

The iPod hardisk is looks new from the Reallocs and ON Hours, but, it is rebooting more to get the correct spin for data verification, causing tImeouts, so the Pending Sector will increase.
There maybe something, near the iPod environment, that is causing the drive to fail, and overheat, if it has not already been damaged, or maybe it is just one Hardisk, that slipped through poor quality control.
You can bring the Retract, Realloc and pending number low, by doing low level format, see this article, but your problem of Hardisk rebooting to find a good cluster, wont go away
Just my thoughts.
Magnets are the primary cause of hardisk crashes, I would also suspect, using your handphone, while it is near the iPod would also be bad, see the YouTube video on hardboiled eggs using handphone.

Does the Ipod Nano work with Windows XP SP1???

IPod Nano Video with Windows Movie Maker

I found this page by Apple that explains how to use video from the 5G iPod Nano, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3837
But, I cannot find Windows Movie Maker V2.5, and V2.1 with Windows XP will not import the video from the iPod Nano. Anybody have any ideas on how to solve this? (Besides buying a Mac...)
Also, Windows Media Player 11 will not play the video created with the 5G iPod Nano either.

You can use the AVS Video Editing software to import MPEG-4 Movie files in the same way you'd import .avi files into Windows Movie Maker. Also, the AVS Video Editor will allow you to import iTunes .mp4 audio files and incorporate them into your soundtrack. If you still want to use Windows Movie Maker for your video editing you can also use video conversion software from the same company, i.e. AVS Video Converter 6, to convert from MPEG-4 into .avi or .wmv format. I've found converting to .wmv to be considerably slower than converting to .avi though. Here's a link to the AVS video software offerings below. BTW, the AVS Video Editor can be used for free, while there's a charge for the Converter.

Ipod sync issues with Windows 7

I just purchased a new computer with the Windows 7 operating softeware and now I cannot sync my Ipod Touch (3rd generation) but I do not experience this issue with my old computer with Windows Vista. When I need to update my Ipod I have to connect it to my old computer. Help. I do not want to pay Apple for support when I see countless post about this issue.

Are you set to manually manage on both computers? If not, an auto sync on one of them will erase the iPod and place that computer's library on it.
No that wouldn't be it. The manual vs. Auto sync setting is stored on the iPod, not on iTunes. So if you take a manually managed iPod and plug it into an iTunes it has never connected to before, the new iTunes will still recognize the iPod as manually managed and not do anything bad to it (in theory).

Recognizing an iPod with Windows Vista

I have a new computer that came with Windows Vista. I have not been able to get iTunes to operate correctly for Windows Vista to recognize the USB connection to my iPod. Anyone have a patch or downloadable software suggestion to resolve this?

groans
I finally figured I had nothing to lose--I'd just downloaded a new version of Real Player, which supposedly will work with iPods and Windows Me--and I let my computer format the iPod, hoping that would let it work with Windows again. Apparently not. Now it won't turn on--it's giving me the folder-and-exclamation-point icon. Resetting it didn't help, and I can't restore it because I can't install the software to my computer in the first place.
I suppose the only thing to do is borrow a friend's computer or something.
