Z60m 2529-eau vista clean install no audio

z60m 2529-eau I did a clean vista install and let windows install the standard drivers. I get no audio. The SPDIF is confgured. If I play audio the volume bar goes up and down but the speakers do nothing. I press the volume buttons and get a beep. But noting wron windows programs. The driver matrix says that driver is part of vista. The hd audio says disconnected.

I have been struggling with both Lenovo and Vista for weeks over this issue.  I'm told by Lenovo that    Z60m 2529's won't work well with Vista and am having to downgrade to Windows XP to get any sound.  Somehow the SoundMax on the motherboard died or was corrupted . . . all from just installing upgrades as recommended by Lenovo or Vista.  It is incredibly poor customer service that this occurs without Vista or Lenovo coming up with some way to fix it.  I've tried everything anyone has recommended on line, but nothing works as there is no sound device at all any longer on the computer; even downloads of XP drivers won't work.  BAD BUSINESS.  Spread the word and maybe these corporate giants might get to work.  And, if you'll note blogs and chats, you'll see this problem is spreading!!!

  • Can't install Flash on Vista clean install

    OK...I am thoroughly frustrated. I am working on a clean
    install of Vista Ultimate, administrator account with all requisite
    permissions, IE7 is conifgured to prompt for Active X, etc. Yet,
    when I try to install Flash Player, I get to the screen that has
    the green bars running across as if it is installing. Then, it
    either runs forever, or I get a pop-up saying "Network Error" or
    "Download Interrupted". I am able to download anything from every
    other site on the web, so I am not worried about my network
    settings. When I check system32/.Macromed directory, there is no
    Flash sub-directory, only a Download directory. In that directory
    are the following files: Install.exe and Download.dll.
    Can anyone please help??? I am pulling my hair out (and I
    don't have a lot left!)
    P.S. I have another Vista computer that has FLash on it. Can
    I just copy the files from that computer?

    That's interesting, and unusual. The two files that you DO
    see are put there by the install process. They basically -are- the
    Flash Player installer.
    If you were installing the Flash Player PLUGIN (for FireFox,
    any non-IE windows browser) then you could copy it over. But for
    the OCX activeX control install you cannot. It has to actually
    install.
    Can you grab and post a screen shot of those errors? I don't
    find any other similar cases in the database.. it's not clear to me
    if they're coming from Vista or from the installer..

  • Vista clean install with no CD

    Hi, I was asked by a neighbor to help him with a computer issue. Basically my friend needed to reinstall Vista after he got a few nasty virus's and asked another friend to first help out. This person installed a Dell version of Windows XP with locked him out. He did not make an install CD first and then messed it up more when trying to fix it.
    So now I am attempting to do a clean install of Vista for him but I do not have the install CD, just his activation Key.  Is there anyway to get a Vista download? I am doing this as a free favor and I do not want to have to purchase anything.  Its a Lenovo T400.
    I am halfway tempted to just give him Ubuntu but figured I would make a last ditch effort here before creating more work for myself by teaching him a new OS.

    hi girlGeek,
     Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
     You can get an ISO from this site
    http://www.w7forums.com/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads-t12325.html
    Make sure to check the version of Windows Vista on the activation key and download the matching ISO on the link
    download the windows ISO and burn it to a DVD using imgburn. and use that to install windows back.
    Hope this helps,

  • T400 Windows 7 or Vista Clean Install - Can't Detect Hard Drive

    I've attempted to install Windows Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64 using retail copies of both OS's on my T400. Neither OS can find the hard drive during the install process. I've downloaded every driver possible from Lenovo and loaded them via USB during the install, with absolutely no luck. I've installed Ubuntu in the meantime to have a usable computer, but I really need Win7 on there, so I have to figure this out. Any solutions? (and telling me to go download the driver isn't going to help me). Also, I've messed around with the AHCI setting in the BIOS, but that didn't help either. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Weird.  Win 7 Pro 64 installed on my T400 without any issues that I can recall.  I realize that doesn't help you much
    I was doing a clean upgrade install using a Microsoft upgrade DVD over the top of a Vista installation.
    Since you've already tried fiddling the  ACHI/IDE mode the only other thing I can think is something about your initial disk partitioning or formatting (or lack of same) confused the installers.  (I realize a confused MS installer is hard to imagine...)
    Maybe fire up your Ubuntu live CD and dd some zeros to the first few sectors of your drive and try again.  Or format the thing w/your choice of FAT32 partitions and see if that makes the installer(s) happier.
    What model drive are you using?  Is it the original drive (not that it should matter, mine wasn't)?  What was installed on the machine initially?

    I have photoshop 6 on a dead pc laptop with windows XP.  Have a pc laptop that has been upgraded from Vista 64 bit (where phootshop 6 wouldn't install) to windows 7 professional 32 bit (clean install).  Photoshop still won't install. Also having reinstallation issues with pse6 on this same pc.  Pse6 was installed and working on vista 64bit version of the OS, now won't install on rebuilt windows professional 7 32bit (keeps giving me serial number not valid errors).  I'm not trying to pirate these programs.  Just want to reinstall them.

    you need,
    Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4, 5, or 6a, or Windows Millennium
    Microsoft Windows 98/Millennium/2000/NT 4.0 (Service Pack 4, 5, or 6a required)

  • Windows 7 Clean Install on T500 with Vista

    So my thinkpad t500 was infected (the entire recover area was also infected). It came with Vista and I just got the recovery media CDs for Vista. But I don't want to install Vista. I have a legitimate copy of Windows 7 that I purchased and completely formatted the entire laptop (all the partitions including the recovery media partitions which were infected).  IBM does not sell Win 7 recovery media (if your laptop came with vista installed) unfortunately.
    Now I have win 7 working but I have no internet connection.
    I tried to install Thinkvantage 5.02 so that thinkvantage can automatically download the drivers (but the internet connection is not working so that is not going anywhere).
    I had downloaded a couple of drivers from lenovo's website. I installed one of them called 7vr722ww.exe. It did not work (no internet connection). When I go to device manager the network adapters say they are upto date.
    Any help with downloading and fixing the OS would be great. A step by step approach would be better. I saw some tutorials online but they are not very useful but I could have missed something here.
    I tried this tutorial : http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo/642274-patchysans-guide-clean-installing-windows-7-thinkpad.h...
    and could not go beyond step 8 (updating drivers does not work). I also don't have anything beyond the recovery discs for vista (not windows 7). I looked for any executables in the two recovery cds for vista but found none.
    Thanks for any help that anyone may be able to offer.

    Ok I am using 32 bit system (or I think I was but I accidentally installed using the 64 bit dvd! I am going to do another clean install to fix this tomorrow)
    This time around (on my second/third attempt at clean re install) I kept the wifi radio signal on and win 7 installation asked me for a password and I entered it at it worked! (had some issues because I was trying to simultaneously connect via ethernet but once I unplugged the ethernet cable I am now online using my clean installed machine).
    I am now downloading thinkvantage system update and it is downloading a lot of recommended and other drivers.
    In my third time around clean install I deleted the 2 partitions that my thinkpad came with and combined all into one partition and formatted it (so as to avoid the virus from re emerging , unless the virus in the bios in which case I don't know what I can do).
    Win 7 created its own 100 MB partition and lets hope that thinkvantage does the right thing and creates the recovery media and cds which I may then use to create my own recovery CDs for this computer.
    I see that system update has ended the downloads and installs but I dont see any system recovery options. How do I get the recovery and rescue software on this ?
    There is something strange that win 7 (and vista on t500 ) does: the computer freezes upon startup and I have to ctrl+alt+del and then click on task manager to unfreeze it. Is this happening with other people?
    I must say that buying lenovo's thinkpad is like the most awful experience ever. I have a 2004 thinkpad from IBM and it still works just fine (with xp) and works better than my brand new 2009 T500! ... the T500 by lenovo is just awful. Months after buying it the right button of the mouse on the laptop stopped working. I use an external mouse now because I did not have the time to send and mail the entire laptop (I had to make do and now the warranty has expired and they wont even renew it!). When I try to type on the keyboard I accidentally triger the laptop's half functioning mouse ! it is just an awful experience altogether with the shoddy workmanship and garish clunkiness of design.

  • Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 with clean install

    I want to install Windows 7 on my Equium U-400 laptop with clean install in order to save space in my C drive. The question is how will I restore all Toshiba bundled software that my laptop came with. There is a HDD Recovery folder in the second partition but I am afraid that using this will re-install Windows Vista as well. Any help or ideas?

    >The question is how will I restore all Toshiba bundled software that my laptop came with.
    This software is bundled in recovery image only and cannot be downloaded from Toshiba download page. Just when you use recovery image you will have possibility to use this additional software.
    With additional software I mean Toshiba CD/DVD player, trail Office version or preinstalled antivirus application.
    All other stuff like Toshiba tools and utilities can be downloaded from Toshiba download page.

  • Need to do a clean install of Win 7 on my HP Dv7 1464rw. Purchased it with Vista on it and it was up

    Need to do a clean install of Win 7 on my Dv7 1464rw. I purchased this computer with Vista on it and HP sent me the upgrade for Win 7 as part of the purchase. Can I reuse these discs or do I need some other disc to do this? Also, Do I need to wipe the hard drive clean or will the install process do that?

    Do you have the license key with the Windows 7 upgrade disk? If so you should be able to use it to format and reinstall.

  • Core Audio Components Missing After Clean Install and Update to 10.3.9?

    I did a clean install of 10.3.x onto my hard disk and then updated to 10.3.9 through Software Update.
    Before this install I'd been running 10.3.9 (my disk crashed -- or so I thought -- hence the re-install of all above). I'd been running a music recording program and taking advantage of Apple's Core Audio AU components (e.g. AUDelay, etc), which should be in /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components/ or something like that. Now they are missing entirely.
    How do I get them back? Where are they to find?
    Thanks!

    It was a problem with the 3rd party software -- I hadn't run the installation update to interface with the AU Components -- after the reinstall. Thanks.

  • Best way to do a clean install of XP over Vista on x200s

    Hi,
    Just got an x200s with Vista installed. I would love to do a clean install of XP. I've noticed 2 other partitions. Lenovo describes them as ->
    C: is your available file storage space.
    S: holds critical start up (booting) information.
    Q: contains the critical data needed for system recovery.
    Okay. So if I want to do a clean install of XP on my system, are either S or Q needed if I never use Vista again? And what would be the best/safest way to install XP on my machine? I don't want to delete anything that cannot be replaced or is vital to functioning of the machine under XP.
    Thanks!

    im not too sure about "S" but "Q" wont be needed anymore if u dont intend to use Vista anymore. "Q" will restore your system to Vista state if you perform recovery. before you start, remember to backup all the stuff u need. If you have a XP disc, just insert it into the drive (make sure your boot sequence is set to detect optical drive 1st) and perform a format on C drive. avoid using the quick format. after formatting it, just follow the instruction on screen and install XP. i doubt there are any safe method to install XP. pretty straight forward thing.

  • Boot Camp, VIsta with SP1 x64 clean installed. Please help!

    I clean-installed Vista Ultimate 64bit with SP1 (SP1 comes with Vista, not a separate download) on the latest macbook. As expected Boot Camp Application doesn't work (it doesn't even install).
    1.I want to use the function keys (F1, F2, etc) for brightness and volume, which installation program should I run from the Leopard disk? I don't think I can find this "driver" online.
    2.How can I get bluetooth on my macbook working? Which installation program should I run from the Leopard disk?
    3.iSight camera. Is there a driver for iSight camera in 64bit Vista?
    I see there's a "x64" folder in Leopard disk, under folder "drivers". Should I install everything in this folder? I haven't tried yet.
    Thanks for help!

    Hi Bjorne,
    how did you manage to do a clean-install of Windows Vista with SP1 from a slipstreamed media? If I start my Macbook with the Vista SP1 DVD while holding down the "C" key, I will only see the following message:
    1.
    2.
    Select CD-ROM Boot Type:
    I can't go on any further, because hitting any key won't work.
    The problem seems to the EFI bootloader on the Vista SP1 DVD which is compiled for 64-bit EFI environments (U-EFI 2.0)! The EFI environment used in Apple computers is based on version 1.10 and runs in 32-bit mode. I've found this information on the rEFIt homepage http://refit.sourceforge.net/info/vista.html and I've also found the homepage http://www.jowie.com/post/2008/02/Select-CD-ROM-Boot-Type--prompt-while-trying-t o-boot-from-Vista-x64-DVD-burnt-from-iso-file.aspx from Jowie who has the same problems. He has found out how to make the Vista SP1 DVD booting on an Apple computer by modifying the DVD image which seems to kill the EFI bootloader...
    How did you manage to boot from an unmodified Vista SP1 DVD image?

  • Mavericks, Safari & audio stutter after clean install

    So I've had the audio stuttering problem too since Mavericks.
    I just did a clean install on my MBP 15" 2010, specifically to test this theory about Plug-in nonsense.
    Fresh install 10.9.1, NO plug-ins added, infact no software added after install. Just stock Apple stuff from installer.
    Audio from YouTube & SoundCloud is atrocious in Safari.
    Installed FireFox 26, tested, audio was fine.
    Then I used the 10.9.2 update which says it addresses the issue, and no improvment either with Safari.
    FireFox still fine.
    This is an Apple problem and it is a really bothersome one too.
    Apple, please fix this ASAP.

    By "clean install" do you mean you erased the startup partition, reinstalled 10.9.2 (using recovery mode or something else?), & did not migrate anything from a backup after that? If not, it is possible (even likely) that you still have third party additions on your system.

  • Vista/WXP Dual Boot - can not install WXP audio driver

    Hi,
    I have installed Vista on a P105-S9722 (it works fine) and created a second partition for an WXP installation. Everything is ok except I am unable to install Conexant audio driver (I have a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager next to Conexant High Definition Audio). Earlier I was able to install it on a single-boot WXP partition.
    Many thanks for your help.

    Did you try to install the right sound driver for Windows XP???
    I found another thread which you have posted here in the forum and you did not known the websites where to find the right drivers.
    I found this XP sound driver for the Satellite P105-S9722
    Conexant Audio Driver for Windows XP version: 3.11.0.51

  • CS4 Setup.exe hangs 32-bit Vista SP1 Clean install

    Help!
    I'm having problems installing CS4... After the autoplay opens and I click "Install CS4", the setup.exe process appears in Task Manager, but nothing else happens on the computer.
    Any ideas? I'm using CS4 Design Premium, I've got a clean install of Vista SP1 (32-bit version) so I can't work out what's going wrong.
    Cheers,
    Mick

    found a solution that worked fine 4 me at http://www.flashden.net/forums/thread/upgrading-to-flash-cs4-from-cs3/8620?page=1
    Seems setup has some java issues. Well, worked fine for me and everything is working fine here, so if the url dont open, try this to install:
    thanks goes to modnarus.
    PROBLEM FIXED .
    I got the Flash CS4 upgrade to work. If anyone else experiences the same problem when upgrading from Flash CS3 to CS4 heres what I did to correct.
    PROBLEM :
    You download the install files and click setup. The setup either hangs on the initializing setup screen, OR you see the setup screen briefly and it disappears.
    SOLUTION :
    (1) Attempt to install Flash CS4 upgrade normally (clicking setup.exe). You probably already did thisso you can actually skip
    (2) Go to control panel, add/remove programs and you should see Flash Professional CS4 in the program list. Leave the control panel up, you will need this later
    (3) Navigate to the following folder on your hard drive: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\a68eec966ce913ddaa63251dc82ed31\resources\common\scripts
    (4) Locate a file called ContainerProxy.js open it with a text editor (E.G.: Notepad).
    (5) Go to line 1102 or simply search for: jsonObj = _jsonToObject(window.external.SetSessionInitialized(initValue)); and replace this line with: jsonObj = _jsonToObject(SetSessionInitialized(initValue));
    (6) Save the file by pressing [Strg]+S or use the menu: Menu -> File Save.
    (7) Go back to the Control Panel
    (8.) Highlight software being installed (Flash CS4 )
    (9) Reinitialize the installation by clicking on the change/remove button.
    (10) Setup should now work as normal.

  • X200 SSD (Solid State Drive) with clean-install of Vista or XP?

    Hi all,
    I apologize for starting a new thread on a new forum; however, I am running out of research time.
    I am about to buy a X200 with the 64GB SSD (Solid State Drive) (and it needs to be bought by tomorrow Can I ask couple questions? :
    1) I am legally using this for business purposes with an MSDN license, so I can and will install any clean OS immediately. With the option to install any Windows OS; which will work best [or at all] with the SSD? (I have read conflicting articles, but most are outdated due to SSD's being so new.)
    2) With only the SSD and without a MediaBase, I read several guides such as This Thread on this Forum on how "fun" a clean install can be...are there any extra difficulties with the SSD?
    I am a software engineer and would normally piece this together my research; however, I am running out of time before I have to decide if the SSD is a viable and installable option at this time (and if I should buy it!)
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello to all.
      I'd like to know why AHCI mode is being suggested to use for SSD's?  Please tell me why. I just don't understand. I think using Raid 0 Array would be the better choice. How does AHCI mode vary compaired to Raid 0 ?  Is AHCI a better Mode? Does it give better performance then Raid 0?
     I see alot of you are having problems setting up SSD's.  I have read the first thing you need to do is make sure the firmware on any SSD you use should be updated.
     I also see a lot of people here talking about the need to install Raid drivers.  This is true with all other OS's, but I have found that after a fresh format, even on a new HD, I just installed Win 7 64 bit ultimate I went right into device manager to see what drivers are needed, & to my surprise all the drivers were already installed, including Raid driver & controller. I set up my Raid 0 Array at the F10 prompt, rebooted with OS disk with master drive after setting up boot sequence, & continued from there no problem with 2 150GB Raptor HD's in Raid 0.
     I have gone as far as to use a Western Digital HD CD utility disc that has a write zero utility & used it to fast write zero's to the first 63 tracks & sectors including track 0 sector 0 where the MBR is written, & I've reformatted & reinstalled Win 7 from that point, & all the drivers still get auto installed. You can go right into device manager & see for your self. The only driver I ever need my be a sound driver update & Graphics driver.  I'm not forgetting that the drivers that are auto installed are generic & may need updating, but what I'm saying is, I haven't seen any yellow question marks or exclamation points in device manager like you do with other OS's before Win 7.

Maybe you are looking for
