• newbie Y560P laptop questions

  Lenovo forums are very informative and I looked for answers to my questions and have found some but not all. I recently (St Patty's day) ordered an ideapad y560P. I should have asked these questions before buying but there was an e-coupon deal that ends the day of St patty, I had wanted a laptop pretty advanced for a while so I jumped. Life is not perfect!

  1. a clean install of windows is possible with recovery disks that Lenovo provides? If this is not the case, what is the best way to do it?

  2. the Y560P can fully utilyze the new SATA 3 SSD as boot drive? Void the warranty?

  3. wait for Lenovo to ship my laptop until the Sandy Bridge sata port questions/reminder are developed?

  4. someone here successfully using imaging software (like Acronis true image} on their laptops?)

  Sorry for the newbie questions. I built my own desktops for years, but this will be my first laptop. Time passes! Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hey, I'll do my best to respond to these:

  (1) actually, no discs are technically provided by Lenovo. Your system comes with a separate, partition that contains a recovery image. That being said, you can create a set of recovery disks by running their usefulness (comes pre-installed). When you use these disks, it basically as a duplication process. So yes, you can do a clean install, if you think it their image pre-built a clean installation

  (2) not sure about the 3 SATA drives, but drives does not cancel your comprehensive guarantee. I would always keep the original drive where the system needs to be sent, but I think that the RAM and CPU are considered as 'evolutionary customer options' and are therefore not guarantee-killers.

  (3) from what I've read, Lenovo has already stopped the lines with questions of Sandy Bridge. None of these units should be delivery to consumers. If I remember correctly, it only affected some of the i7 lines. If you have concerns, you can always call Lenovo with your serial number, and they can check if the unit is affected. However, Lenovo has been very quick to fix this, I just couldn't see their shipping defective units known to customers.

  (4) Acronis and Ghost work quite well, assuming it is a standard drive. I could not find any problems with people using either a product on the readers of the so-called "hybrid".

  Hope that helps a bit!

• Computer laptop questions - how to make a backup of the photo tags without saving with elements?

  I have 5 items installed on my laptop, but I have problems with video card.  It is by default the generic driver, and I can not launch the elements to make a proper backup of my files.  I get a message that it requires a screen of 1024 x 768 or greater than 256-color resolution, I can not do.  I can access my photos very well via Windows Explorer, but I would back up the tags as well (several tags on 6000 + photos) so I have to either find a way to start in low resolution, so I can do a normal backup with elements, or I need to find the files that store the tags, so I can move it to a new pc when I reinstall.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  That you think is NOT the right file.

  Now, you did say that you had already chosen a different name for your catalog - so I have concluded that you are using the default name. Therefore, my suspicion is that you have not set the Windows options to Show hidden files , or that you have not set the search options to include hidden files.

  You can make the setting for show hidden files from either Windows Explorer or the control panel screen. In Windows XP Windows Explorer, I think he was in the Tools menu select Folder Options and then choose the view tab scroll down to hidden files and folders and click the circle (button) next to show hidden files and folders.

  Then, since I gave you a full path to the folder, you can't really search you can simply expand the hierarchy of folders using Windows Explorer to find the folder

  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalogs

  Try this approach and then post back with your results.

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Vista - Error Code: 800F0816 (could not install KB2296011) Hung to configuring updates 3/3

  Laptop from my dad recently started showing "configuration updates 3/3" followed back changes not configured message. It is on a continuous while loop that will sometimes allow windows Vista Home Premium to start. I checked the history of update and the first failure is KB2296011 which shows the error code 800F0816.  Currently, I have his laptop but cannot access the internet because it does not connect to the internet via my network (do not have the knowledge necessary for to be difficulty)

  Can someone help me solve this recurring problem. If necessary I will be able to access the internet on the laptop question but would like to know a solution offline if possibel. I don't want to pay Microsoft Help for the answer. I'm not very literate pc so a simple solution would be better.

  You don't have to pay "Microsoft Help" for a response from the update that you have posted, KB2296011, is a Security update.
  Of MS10-081: vulnerability in the Windows common controls library could allow remote code execution (KB2296011)

  Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

  800F0816 - express package has not been completely downloaded. The status of the operation was recorded while the package is downloaded. An express package is a package that you are installing by using Windows Update. With these packages, only the files needed for that specific computer are downloaded and installed (unlike when all is downloaded to a computer).

  For a 'solution offline' you can try to manually download each update to the computer you are currently using and then transfer to the portable touched with a USB key.
  Then see if they install correctly. Given that we do not know all the edits concerned... open Windows Update in Control Panel, and then click View update history link to see updates try to install.
  Note that the KB numbers are updated and post them in this thread or,
  go to the Microsoft Download Center, enter the KB numbers in the field to Search all Download Center , click the magnifying glass to search and download for Vista updates that correspond to the architecture of the system.

  Save updates. When the downloads have finished, close the browser and all other open programs and install them one at a time. Suggest that each time you are prompted to restart.

• Need to delete the files and unwanted programs

  Original title - used laptop questions

  I inherited a laptop Toshiba family, now full of their information and mine, passwords, and others.  There a program according to Toshiba Recovery disk, which is easy enough for anyone to use?  I want just all the other information that mine are not off the computer, not necessarily the programs and associated files.  As my collection of mp3 curly and all my family photos.  The OS is Vista Home Basic 64 bit, if that matters. I just want to be able to do this at home rather than having someone paid to do. Thank you.

  Hello

  If you get a second hand computer, you must reinstall the operating system and start to configure it as you wish.

  There are other reasons why it is recommended, that probably does not apply in your case: Malware, p0rn, etc..

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Question regarding the purchase of laptop wireless

  Everything I've ever owned have been HP desktop computers. I need (well Yes, not desire) to buy a new laptop wireless. My intention to buy staples as I experience such great service in the past. Here are my questions:

  1 at the present time, I have high speed internet, but not wireless. Can I have both wireless and material "no wireless" goes on the same connection?

  2 will I be able to print on my existing (from my wireless laptop) printer if my desktop computer and printer are 'wired '?

  3. when I get out of the store, what do I need in my hands? I live 50 miles away and don't want to go home and find out that I'm missing something.

  I teach online classes will therefore could go 'on-line' no matter where I'm travelling. I guess my wireless connection works in the House of my daughter in Arizona as far as I know their password? As I have not worked with wireless, I am a little confused how it will work.

  I'd appreciate recommendations on routers and laptop computers, if you have a preference. I'll use camtasia in my class so will need microphone and camera possible.

  In advance thanks.

  Padraig

  1. Yes. This is called a hybrid network. With a wireless router that comes with LAN ports (4) which is easy to do. I use a Netgear WNR834B 802.11n router that has a LAN port. Easy to set up.

  (2) you will need to set up a simple home network and share the printer on the network from thePC to which it is connected. You can also install a print server connected to your network and it will have its own network address and be available for all the PCs on your network.

  (3) you need a wireless router (my preference is Netgear 802.11n because of the reliability, range and throughput of 300 kbs).

  I have exxplained the answers to your questions only in simple terms. I have no idea what your level of knowledge is in terms of networking (i.e. the subnets)

  My home network is a cable modem which is connected to netgear powerline devices (2)

  (via a CAT5 cable) which uses the wiring domestic (115 v) to provide an internet connection to my wireless router that offers a wireless for my laptop and a second office. My server at home and the box of FreeNAS are connected to the network via the router's LAN ports using a CAT5 cable

• Return policy for the laptop. 2 questions please.

  Hello world!

  I bought some computers laptops and desktops from HP over the years but never had back none of them until my recent order.  I recently placed an order on the laptop but I found a better computer hp laptop at bestbuy, so I called and cancelled the order (only after 15 hours of the order) but HP CS rep would not let me Cancel.  She told me to just leave it delivered and return it once I received the laptop.  HP will pay for return shipping charges and give me a FULL REFUND; which means that they don't give me the refund less shipping fees.  I asked to confirm what she has told me that I will receive my full refund for my order and HP will send me a return shipping label at their cost.  If this is true what she told me, then HP has the best customer service out there.

  My question to anyone who has purchased and returned HP stuff is it is true about what the CS rep tells me?  Moreover, I get free shipping on my order if it makes a difference.  I pray for your opinion on this please.

  Thank you all for your time and happy thanksgiving to all!

• HP 15 laptop computer omen: Question of graphics - freeze/lock

  I have problems with my graphics I think. I don't know if this is a hardware or a software issue, however.

  Symptom: When I start a game the computer crashes and there's a hum. The sound almost sounds like it comes from the material rather than the sound. Although this doesn't happen every time. CTRL-ALT-DEL does not work when this happens. By pushing the button window does not work. The only way to get out the gel is hard boot the PC. This happened there as well after a game about 3 weeks session. I restored the computer to factory default and it worked fine until the 10/30/15. I would say the 1st time it happened was on 01/10/15. So a month elapsed before this happens again. Both times it happened after a long gaming session. I closed my laptop, went to another House and then when I tried to play again that this freezing/hum which is spent. This time I was unable to solve the problem.

  I play the games or you have tried: Hearthstone, WOW, heroes of the storm, Starcraft II and Diablo III, Skyrim. All seem to have this problem now.

  Things I've done.

  Restored PC to factory default. (Windows updates, installed updates HP installed, updated graphics card)

  Uninstalled and reinstalled graphics card

  Restore PC to factory default (Windows updates installed, graphics card updates) - I remember when I first bought the PC. I installed HP updates through HP support Manager. It messed up the graphics. I have restored and it has worked well up until the 10/01/15. So I thought that maybe I messed up it by doing this. What is interesting is now after I restored my PC for the third time. HP can't find no updates. Maybe they stayed settled now?

  Graphics card runs at 70 C (used Unigine & Unigine Valley) Ran this several times with no problem. This blows my mind. Why would this work but not games.

  Peformance HP advisor no longer works. I uninstalled it and re-installed. Seems to be the slightest error out when he's looking for the graphics card.

  To be honest. It seems to deteriorate, and even worse plus I have restore and try the different troubleshooting steps. Nothing is really make sense logically here. I have difficulty computers for a living but seriously this thing gives me a hell of a time.

  I'm kind similarly not sure what more can be done.

  It seems that the Nvidia GTX860M is having issues. When I right click and go to the Nvidia Control Panel. There is not much information at this location, as it used to be. The only option I have is 3D settings. It even after the Nations United-stable and re - install.

  Any thoughts on where I should go with this? This PC is still under warranty and I year 3 help plan. Thanks in advance. I'm happy to give you any additional information. This thing is just blow my mind! Thank you!

  After tons and tons of troubleshooting I finally thought to it. I was on the phone with HP when I thought about it. They kept transfer me back and forth between the Department of hardware and software. They have not really help a lot.

  Just in case anyone else has this same problem.

  Solution: Uninstall Nvidia Graphics Card and Nvidia Ge Force experience. Also everything that said Nvidia in your Add/Remove Programs Control Panel.

  Go to HP and download the Nvidia graphic card on there website to your PC. Do NOT install the driver of Nvidia graphics from the site Web of Nvidia card.

  NVIDIA is currently on 352 or something like that. I downloaded 348 or anything that was on the HP website. Everything works find now. NVIDIA has missed something there put the driver.

  Of NVIDIA Geforce experience will NOT work. What is the best so good solution? Playing games or using the Geforce experience.

  Hope this helps anyone who runs into this problem.

• Question about batteries for laptops and a station (HP Elitebook 840)

  Hello

  I have a question for plagging the laptop to the docking station and battery, basically my main concern is not to connect to the laptop to run a/c, while it is fully charged and I'm always load only up to 100% and then when it reaches the minmum load then I connect it comes back to a/c, so my question here

  So do you think that that plug the laptop into the docking station will not decrease the duration of battery life because it will always be in charge mode?

  Thank you.

  After this announcement, I made a simple google image search with different keywords before 'docking and battery' and I found the following thread that answers my question

  Docking station ruin the battery?

• Re: a few questions about the recovery of product on my laptop Satellite L450D-113

  Hey there, fellow buyers of Toshiba.

  I have a few questions on prod. recovery on my laptop.

  * Is _First, safe? _ *
  Because my sister it on his Vista laptop (a Toshiba) and finished with a BSOD and a trip to the PC world for a replacement HARD drive.
  -----
  * _First, he will restore C: and D:, or just C:? _ *
  Inadvertently, I deleted the D: partition on my hard drive and he would like to return.
  -----
  * _Third, I am formatting due to incompatibility with some applications, namely 32 bit ones._*
  I can somehow incompatible lance 32-bit on my 64-bit?
  -----
  * _Finally, it erase Ubuntu as well? _ *
  I have Ubuntu (10.04 LTS incase you're wondering) and want to keep the data that it is intact.

  -----

  YES, I backed UP MY DATA (here, that goes with the words "I have no sti - oh, wait, what's that noise clicking / grinding?")? I just do not feel comfortable with the formatting yet until I know answers to these questions, but there again, I have only 200 MB left of C: (go, 250 GB in 8 months?) and need the return performance (GHIII and GTA: San Andreas used at 40 fps, but now play them is wading through treacle (LAG)!) Please respond quickly, and I look forward to answers!

  Hello

  > First of all, is it safe?

  recovery process is completely safe.

  > Second, he will restore C: and D:, or just C:?

  He will restore the os with the settings on drive C;. Local d it will create image file from hard drive which I know.

  > Can I run 32-bit incompatible somehow on my 64-bit?

  It depends on the application. I mean, do a right-click on the application and choose properties where you can Compatible mode.

  > Finally, it clears so Ubuntu?

  If it is installed on local d: I guess that will erase. To be honest, is not sure
