  Look at the lower/rear part computer and tape or disks that came with the unit.

  If the system is still running, you can use these to access your product key. These are not cracks, they

• What the correct update BIOS for my Lenovo R61?

  Main question:

  I have a Lenovo R61 15.4 "laptop computer screen with IEEE. 1394  What is the good BIOS update version for my system?

  * The version on the Web the matrix file BIOS Lenovo page, 7KET72WW (1.22 - 1, 06), seems wrong and outdated compared to this page:

  http://74.125.45.104/search?q=cache: jqsAECxdXDoJ:www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-68183.html+7OET24WW&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=us

  which indicates that it should be 7OETC1WW (2.21). **

  Background:

  This Lenovo R61 laptop has always been slow and difficult, with performance much worse than my old XP system with worst record.  Originally, I tried to reinstall Vista to remove the useless factory software I thought may be responsible for slowing down the system.  This was the beginning of many problems.  I had added a stick of 1 GB 2 brand new RAM for the system, and I couldn't properly reinstall Vista with the ThinkVantage tools.  When I contacted the support, they told me it was due to the system are different from the original specifications (additional RAM).  It's ridiculous, but also to correct.  In addition, my Windows key at the bottom of the laptop sticker was scratched and unreadable, directly from the factory.  Support told me that the key is not useful or necessary because the only way to reinstall Vista is using the ThinkVantage tools.  Once again, ridiculous, but after removing my extra RAM, I was able to reinstall Vista.  This did not help the performance, even with the additional software deleted.

  On the current problem:

  I have experience several daily BSOD. Analysis of accident of Vista generally points to the USB driver, sometimes the network adapter driver and often does not return anything.

  I want to update my BIOS, but I don't know which version to use.  According to the information of the system, my system model is 8932CTO. The current system BIOS is the 7OET24WW version (1.03).  I did a search on Google for this BIOS and found the following cached page:

  [ http://74.125.45.104/search?q=cache: jqsAECxdXDoJ:www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-68183.html+7OET24WW&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=us] It lists the following:

  This version supports the following systems:
  -ThinkPad R61 - 15.4-inch wide screen models
  Machine types: 8930 8933, 8934, 8935, 8936, 8937
  -ThinkPad R61i - model widescreen 15.4 inches with IEEE 1394
  Computer type: 8932

  The latest BIOS for my system model number is indicated as:

  The first version of this list, 7OET24WW (1.03) matches the BIOS on my system, which indicates that I have to upgrade to the current version, 7OETC1WW (2.21).

  This page shows that my system model supports IEEE 1394 (Firewire), and of course, the Device Manager shows a RICOH OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller, even if my laptop is not a firewire port!  Then...

  QUESTION: why does my laptop have an IEEE 1394 controller, but no port?  It is used to something else? Safely disable the controller driver if it is pointless?

  The same page also lists the history of BIOS for thise models, and the current BIOS version does not match the name on the matrix of the file BIOS Lenovo - ThinkPad page here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=BMOE-3VAM8Y#r

  My computer is a R61 widescreen 15.4 inches with IEEE 1394 (at least the controller).  NONE OF THESE VERSIONS OF BIOS MATCHES THE OTHER PAGE, I FOUND, WHICH SEEMS MORE ACCURATE!  Also, only one of the many, many BIOS versions presented on this page are from 2008.  So the page of the Lenovo BIOS file matrix totally out of date or what?

  What version of BIOS should I use to upgrade my system, and what else can I diagnose these BSOD and performance problems?

  Agotthelf is correct; 2.21 is the latest version of the BIOS, and to install it, you must burn it to a CD as an ISO file. I was too lazy to do.

  My R61, too, is the 15.4-inch (1680 x 1050) model, but unlike you, I have XP Professional and a 1394 a miniport. The reason your system shows Firewire, it's Ricoh Board which controls the 4 - 1 or 5-in-1 memory card reader includes the R61 Firewire controller. I guess it's convenient is you decide, as I do, to add a CardBus (or, as the case may be, an ExpressCard) with full major ports 1394 a(1) FireWire, 1394b (FireWire 2), or both.

• Windows XP freezes

  Windows XP freezes especially when I'm playing. I get weird color lines on the screen and it continues to repeat last sound... Sometimes, it repairs itself after a wait of 5 to 10 seconds. I don't know what to do. Should I reinstall my Windows?

  Your system is too dependent on using the swap file. Adding RAM can help. Your graphics card can also be insufficient for what you are asking to do.

  With any program, you should be aware of what the minimum requirements are? In reality, it is quite common to see the minimum requirements that are undervalued. So for your game the minimum RAM is 1 GB. However, I imagine to see satisfactory performance you want much more.

  Graphics cards are also an important factor with games, as this type of game depends greatly on the Visual effects for the impact and generate excitement. I don't know enough about the graphic cards and Game Advisor record to highlight that he must investigate these before you load a game on your computer and wait for it to run properly.

• Why my windows keep freezing?

  Why my windows keep freezing? It's funny because it started to happen after I replied to a few things about illuminati on youtube. But after that, it kept saying error post comment. So I disconnected my account and connected to another one of my accounts, and he says the same thing, so I decided to restart my computer. As soon as he started upward, my request of palringo has started up, and he stopped to load my messages. Then the screen froze, I waited 5 minutes, then held the power button and turned it off, then power on. Done that 4 times more, then finally, it got to the point where the 6th time the only thing that was frozen was the taskbar at the bottom with the Start button and the basics of microsoft security date and time which not. in any case, I could use the rest of my computer, to the point that when I opened internet Explorer, it froze. 7th time... I had taken a break before I'm back and tried this time, and it was a weird breakup cause that is also a lot of things that never happened before, but it finally worked. But my volume control panel went 'again' and it is not picking up my card soundblaster, which idk if the driver went for her or what. But I would like to help with this and perhaps a reason why this happens. I didn't download anything since the last time I have shut down my computer, everything works fine every start until this afternoon when it happened with youtube. idk if it was a virus, hacker or what.

  Hello Mohan,

  ·         You did changes to the computer before the show?

  These errors often occur if there are incorrect BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) settings.

  Method 1: Check if the computer startup options are changed in the BIOS. You can set the hard drive as the first boot device. In addition, make sure that this option "Wake on LAN" or one similar to it is off.

  Method 2: Load default BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) settings, and then restart the computer.

   

  Important : Change/update BIOS can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

  Hello peoples,
  I just installed an iMicro Bluetooth adapter on my computer, and then I wanted to restart my computer. When I turned it on, loading like regular until right after the Vista loading screen, when the Blue Screen of Death (a blue screen with an error on this subject) flashed for about 1/2 second and then restarted my computer. Then he asked me if I wanted to load startup repair or simply start WIndows normally and I chose to start WIndows normally, but it's the same thing, so when the computer is restarted again, I chose the Startup Repair. He said that if I inserted an external device in my computer for me to remove it. But I had no external devices in my computer at the same time! I already pulled the iMicro adapter! So when my computer restarted again, I pressed the button Lenovo Care and charge of Lenovo Rescue and Recovery 4. (This is where I am now, typing away in the Opera browser.) I tried to find help, but could not find anythign useful so far. I installed for many drivers, updates, patches, etc. But none have anything to remove the blue screen of death. Now, after 7 hours, I really frustrated, and this is my last hope! (I don't want to save my hard drive and reinstall, because I paid more than 250 applications and more than 270 free programs on my computer! Of more, more than 350 iPad apps, of which a few are paid! Oh and 700 iBooks!)
  Help, please! I'm really desperate right now, and any help would be appreciated!
  Thanks in advance!

  PS I run Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 (I think) on a Lenovo ThinkPad SL500 (NOT SL500c!)

  PPS Lenovo all computers have this Lenovo Rescue Recovery 4, which is like an operating system of its own. It has a browser that you can install updates and other things. Right now I use Rescue and Recovery. Thanks again in advance and please answer my question! I had this problem for a week and I'm in school tomorrow! Thanks again!

  EDIT: The error message went like this:

  A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

• Windows keeps freezing whenever I insert a USB key which has been formatted on a Linux machine.

  I'm mostly a Linux user, but having to use Windows machines at work sometimes.  I format all my USB format keys FAT in Windows because Windows is not able to read the format file ext4 that prefer Linux.  Whenever I plug the thumb drive in one of our Windows 7 computers to work, Windows will freeze for 30 seconds to two minutes, then tell me that it cannot find a file to open my tar.gz files (no duh - tar.gz is not a format compatible windows) then he very slowly shows the contents of the disc.

  Any advice on how to keep Windows 7 machines Flake whenever you plug in a USB key with files in Linux on it?

  It of curious why Windows try to open archive.  If you hold down the SHIFT key when you insert the USB (to remove any autorun), does make a difference?  AutoPlay is enabled in Control Panel / AutoPlay?
