X301 wireless broken in Windows 7 (worked in Ubuntu)

I recently did a clean install of windows 7 on my x301. However, I cannot get my WiFi to function properly. I first tried installing the ThinkVantage update software and then I tried installing the drivers manually (after another clean windows 7 install), all to no avail. When I go to Device Manager --> Network Adapters it only lists Bluetooth and Intel(R) 82567 Gigabit Network Connection. Under Other Devices it lists the Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband and the Intel(R) WiMAX Link 5350, but I don't see anything about WiFi. Also, when I press Fn + F5 for my wireless radio power settings, WiFi is similarly missing. I've also tried resetting my bios.
This is extremely frustrating, as I was previously running Ubuntu before the windows 7 install and my wireless was working fine. Any suggestions?

hey martintwigg,
could you try installing this driver : http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS002396
once done, try again and if you have any errors do reply back and provide a screenshot if possible.

Wireless network and bluetooth not working on touchsmart 600

This has not worked since day 1 and I have been using wired internet.
I really need to setup a home network and need to use wireless.
Research on the net has led me to belive I should have HP WIRELESS ASSISTANT on my machine... is that correct?
Everytime I try to download it is seem to be for a notepad... mine is a touchsmart desktop...
Please advise

HP LaserJet M1120 MFP will not print on wireless network with Windows 8.1 operating system

The printer worked on the wireless network with Windows 8.
I have been advised that it does not work with windows 8.1 because a driver is required. However this is not available to download.
It is ridiculous that by having the latest operating system I am unable to use the HP printer on the wireless network
When will HP have the driver to download?

Check the support site here.

Apple Wireless Keyboard with Windows 7 on non Apple Hardware

Good Day,
I love the Apple Wireless Keyboard and it's the on I use when using my Thinkpad laptop as a desktop, meaning connected to an external Monitor and with an external keyboard and mouse. The Keyboard I use is an Apple Wireless Keyboard.
On my MBA 13 I use Windows 7 as my OS and the Apple lyouted keyboard works actually quite well with windows: The function keys perform very much like in Mac OSX with the volume, screen brightness, the fn+left or right for "home" or "end" etc.
Not I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use in conjuction with my Thinkpad but all does features are missing. I guess that this has to to that on the MBA 13 the appropriate drivers where installed when the whole Bootcamp Software package was installed.
Since I obviously cant install the whole Bootcamp CD on non Apple Hardware, is there any way to just download somewhere the drivers for Apple KEyboards so the behave the same way as they would on a Mac running Windows?
Or is there any other way I could use my Apple Wireless Keyboard with non Apple Hardware the same way it behaves on my MBA 13 running Windows 7? Can somwhere lolely the Apple Keyboard drivers be downloaded?
I want to thank anyone who is kind enough to help mme with this mather in advance and please leave out comments of the kind that I it's my fault, I should have bought an Apple machine from the beginning. I have my reasons and If anyone can't handle that I kindly ask you to just ignore this post unless it's constructive and helpful contribution

The issue is related to the Chinese version of the driver that the latest windows update applies that stops the keyboard from working.

Taskkill /F broken in windows 8 when applied to a process that crashes on exiting

It appears that Windows 8 has broken the taskkill command in part at least (actually, I think it is more likely a broken ability to set the debug attribute, which in prior Windows versions allowed taskkill to kill programs even if in a different security
context; but I don't know exactly how to test that or prove my hypothesis). When attempting to kill a process that is hung on exit (e.g., attempted a normal exit from the program, but it hangs and fails to exit, and continues to consume system resources),
there appears to be no way to terminate the application/service, and an "access denied" error is generated even though run from the administrator command prompt.
I have had this happen now many times with chrome.exe (which seems to have lots of issues with Windows 8 in general, but especially when exiting), as well as Skype.exe (a perpetual problem child program under any system). It is repeatable if you can
get any program to crash/hang on exit:
(1) start a bunch of chrome.exe windows, especially ones that require resources like scripts, and then attempt to exit chrome window by window - this will cause chrome to crash on exit 5/10 times. Confirm hung process via ctr-shift-esc and see
that at least one chrome task is still running (chrome window may or may not still be visible)
(2) From the administrator command line: "taskkill /IM chrome /F" which will give the access denied error.
(3) psutils is also unsuccessful: pskill chrome /F also gives same error (run from administrator command prompt)
As I understand prior Windows releases, there is a debug attribute that was set by these particular utilities (under Windows 7 and earlier) which allowed taskkill and pskill to kill processes even when the task manager failed to do so. It seems
that something is broken under Windows 8 now in that regard.
Any ideas how to fix? is there a registry fix? Another utility that works under Windows 8?

Hi,
I tried the command in Windows 8, it works with no problem. I can even kill explorer.

The problem is with killing certain "runaway" processes. I can kill chrome just fine ... until it crashes! Once it crashes, it is unkillable. Something is not right.

Wifi WEP password not working on Windows side, works fine on Mac side

I have not been able to get connected to my wireless connection with windows xp however I have no problem on the mac side. The problem is that my password is 12 characters (not 13). This WEP password works fine on the mac side and also works fine on my iphone. It also works on an older Dell laptop, so it just doesn't make sense. If my password is supposed to be 13 characters (as windows tells me) how come I can connect to everything else?

Hmmmm, interesting! Well, ASCII or HEXADECIMAL, both were designed pretty much for the same purpose, to allow a computer to understand what the heck it is we want them to do (since computers only understand binary - 0100101110011 .. etc).
That character limitation I would guess is probably a limitation of the router, I have no idea, but it seems like that would severely limit security and if it were me I would get another router (but that's just me ). Xnav might have a point, but to this day, OS X has never done that to me. It wouldn't hurt to give his suggestion a try though. Hope you get it worked out soon. I'm sure it's frustrating.

Apple Wireless Keyboard under Windows 7 pairing but not responding

Hi all,
I'm having a strange issue getting my Apple Wireless Keyboard to run on my new HTPC under Windows 7 (64 bit). I can get Windows' bluetooth manager to detect the keyboard, and I can input the pairing code, following which Windows seems to install a bunch of drivers, but then I get no response from the keyboard at all.
The thing I find strange is that the keyboard works when I punch in the code numbers, but never before or after.
I also have a Magic Mouse which works perfectly.
Once paired and installed, the keyboard is displayed in Windows' driver manager as a "Bluetooth Peripheral Device", so I'm wondering if the issue is that Windows isn't recognising the device as a keyboard.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks heaps, in advance.

X100e - Wireless is on and not working

Hi guys,
I am completely new to the forums and to thinkpads. I have had my think pad for 2 months. Till yesterday everything was working well, until I decided to update the drivers. After it the wireless stoped working. Problem is exactly the same as:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge/Wireless-apparently-active-but-not-working/m-p/280548
However, the solution does not work for me. All my drivers are up to date. I did reinstall the Realtek driver, access connections and updated bios without any luck. Clicking repair does not solve the problem. The wireless is not shut off in the BIOS. Do you guys have anything in mind?
Additional details:
Connection status:       Not connected
Cause:       Association failed - wireless radio not powered on.
Error code:       016
Recommended action:
Communication with access point could not be established because the wireless radio is off. To power on the radio and attempt to connect, click Repair.
If the problem persists, contact your network administrator and provide the troubleshooting information below.

Hello,
A couple of things to try:
Toggle the Wi-Fi radio on and off by pressing the Fn+F5 key combination.
Open the Device Manager (filename: DEVMGMT.MSC), remove the wireless adapter, then reboot and let Windows re-detect it.
Let us know the results of the above, and we can proceed from there.

Ultraslim wireless keyboard and mouse not working

Hi , I purchased the Lenovo Ultraslim Wireless Keyboard & Mouse (pn: 57Y4700) about 4 months ago for use with my T60 laptop (which i use with a docking station and large lenovo monitor at work).
Everything was woking fine until last Monday when I can into work after the weekend and neither the mouse or keyboard worked. I replaced the batteries in both, rebooted the machine several time, switch the USB ports for the nano receiver, but nothing seems to have worked.
I looked online for troubleshooting options, but did not find anything.
The mouse and keyboard don't seem to have a "sych" button - if I recall correctly everything worked right out of the box.
My theory is that the nano reciever was damaged (not sure how) -- but don't know how to proceed:
can the nano reciever be replaced;
any other options to troubleshoot;
any chance that this could be a software problem
Thanks

Apple wireless network and windows adapter

I have an apple extreme wireless network established in our complex and most of the users of the network are window users. They want to connect to this network with a good strong signal. What is the best wireless adapter they should consider to purchase to connect to this wireless network other than Airport Express? What would be best for desktops as well as laptops?

The Apple base stations create a standard 802.11b/g or 802.11n wireless network (depending on how you configure them).
Therefore any wireless adapter compatible with those standards and Windows should work. Of course with Windows you always encounter strange unpredictable compatibility problems.
I suggest that you visit discussion areas dedicated to Windows or the flavor of hardware you are using. You will probably find many recommendations.

Java web start running on windows NT4 work station

I have installed java web start on a windows NT4 work station (service pack 6) with a directx v5. I successfuly launch the sun applications such as swing set 2, but I have some troubles concerning our software which used another look and feel than the default one. A system error is raised saying that the library ddraw.dll could not be loaded.
I have unistalled and re-installed directx v5 but the error is still raised.
Does any one can help me to solve this problem ?.
Thank you.

Hello Sim085
thanks for your reply.
Perhaps it would be easier for us to continue the programming with any kind of VisualStudio Produkt ;-), although we dont't had to think about OOP yet!
Because of our new Network-Technology (Terminal-Server) we have to discuss serveral possibilities.
I've read about JSP and ASP.NET, and I want to know if JSP or any kind of JAVA Program will run on a Terminal-Server.
Are there any special aspects I have to know when running JSP on a terminal server from Microsoft? Is it better to program applications in JAVA or in JSP? ...
Thanks

I am using chat-r wireless and facetime is not working but when i put rogers fido or any other carrier sim in it work. Anyone know what the problem?

I'm guessing it's a compatibility problem similar to that that T-Mobile in the US has. I'm not familiar with chat-r wireless, but I'm guessing it's not a supported carrier for the iPhone. If they can't tell you how to fix it, I'm guessing it's just plain not going to work.
