• Lenovo T400 again with windows vista

  I have a Lenovo T400 with Windows Vista and I would like to upgrade to Windows 10.

  10 free update Windows suddenly appeared in other laptops I own (even on machines T61) but it seems that there is no upgrade path to Win10 of Vista, it does Win7/8.

  Then... I know that I can buy a license key for less than $20, but I wonder is there an official way to improve this machine from Vista to Win7.

  Which is still possible?

  Thank you!

  You can still use switchable graphics, however it is not the easy way. You would have to use the BIOS to switch, and then the right video driver loads, depending on the chosen graphics chip.

• AMD/Intel Graphics switchable and upgrade to Windows 8

  Hello world

  I know that many HP Pavilion DV6T-6100 Quad Edition Entertainment laptop owners might consider the upgrade to the new Windows 8 operating system platform. DON'T DO IT!

  I just bought and installed the official version of Windows 8 Pro o my laptop Pavilion DV6T, which came with Windows 7 pre-installed. I had followed the whole windows 8 preview of the incompatibility issues with the graphics driver fiasco switchable HP for some time. I decided to wait to install the official version of the new OS when it was released on October 26, 2012. I bought and applied the upgrade of Windows 7 to Windows 8 last night.

  I thought I'd call HP this morning to find out when they have planned out an official HP Switchable Graphics driver update to resolve incompatibility issues that many HP users have experienced after the upgrade to Windows 8.

  • They've said, in no uncertain terms, "they have a driver available for this problem, but switchable graphic users would have to pay $200 for the reader and have their technical support engineers to apply."
  • He also told me, "HP has no plan to release an update to the free rider problem, so anyone who decided to upgrade to Windows 8 will have to pay support of $200 to fix."
  • I got also said, "my warranty does not cover this update, not being hardware related and related software."

  I paid over $1,200 USD for my laptop model HP Pavilion DV6T-6100 CTO, less than a year ago. Switchable graphics on this laptop was actually a selling point for me, as well as many other owners DV6T. I find it a very irresponsible business move for HP handle that many of their customers in this way. No other manufacturer of the laptop charges their customers for updates, while their product is still under warranty. I work in it and I'll make sure that the HP brand is avoided by everyone that I know in the future. HP has ceased to be one of the best manufacturers of PC, regarding their support for the customer, to be the ABSOLUTE WORST!

  Every computer I've ever owned was a HP, but I will never buy another PC of this society, ever! It is a promise that will be preserved.

  Switchable graphics users per HP: HP has a compatible driver Windows 8 update available, but it will cost $200 more than the price you already paid for your computer and its security.

  Hello Asebeba,

  My solution to the problem is neith, supported or recommended by HP.

  It is well known that HP released several categories of patterns DV6t. It seems that they knew they were going to get rid of the graphical configuration AMD/Intel switchable by the end of November 2011. Which is a not keep from seeling as of soon to become obsolete DV6t models that have been do with the soon outdated AMD/Intel graphic switchable setting possible. However they they built a little more of these models after their passage of OEM to Microsft Windows 8.

  This means that it has supported HP DV6t systems with AMD Switchable graphics, which came the same factories that built our systems, but are running Windows 8. These systems have newer versions of the AMD HD drivers that where fate to the DV6t users whose system supplied with Windows 7 pre-installed.  What are these systems including switchable graphics are incompatible with the 'NEW' Windows 8 and windows 8.1 operating system platforms.

  I could give you the exact name of the HP driver for your switchable graphics special configuration that would work flawlessly on your system, but wouldn't you get anything good for me to do. Because of Windows 7 HP Framework installed on your system. You still have questions, try installing updates later than those offered by HP.  HP would also remove any meantion that I would do whatever it is that they offer and which did not come with your system.

  SP59850

  As far as I know the latest AMD/Intel driver is offered by HP which works with systems built by them with Windows 8 x 64 bit preinstalled.

  Merger of Treexy pilot would be required to uninstall all previous versions of display drivers that you have on your system.

  You would also need to disable the Windows 8 and 8.1 automatic update of device functionality. (Go to: settings/PC Info / Protection of the system / hardware / device settings)

  Once there,

  Select: "no, let me choose what to do."

  Select: "never install driver from Windows Update"

  Apply also to the: Action Center settings (settings / control panel / Action Center / change Action Center settings)

  Deselect "Device Software" (Yo can also deselect 'Windows Update')

  Do not worry! Is not disable Windows Update function. It simply avoids messages from receiviing to update your display drivers that work very well. Do these two things also get rid of this triangle of peskyyellow that appears on your display drivers in Device Manager.

  Unistall old drivers display and software. Then, install the latest version of Windows 8 of the package AMD/Intel HD Graphics Driver availible for your particular display configuration. I will also not allow HP Support Center to automatically install the device drivers on your system at this time. In addition, most systems that encounter this issue with display drivers and windows 8 are no longer under warranty anyway.

  You will have no additional problems running, use or configuration of your HP AMD/Intel graphics switchable on your, shortly after you bought, card HP DV6t system with AMD/Intel switchable graphics.

  No Beta Leshcat driver not required to use the only feature you spent all that money for.

• Lenovo T400s problems after cleaning

  Hello

  I have a Lenovo T400s, which was full of dust, due to the high temperatures and the slow performance, I decided to clean the cooler all by myself.

  After carefully removing each part, I managed to reach the cooler and clean. I put up successfully each piece of hardware, with the temperature now to a maximum of 70 degrees Celsius in mode performance. Yet, there are a lot of questions that I am yet to repair:

  1. the overall performance of the laptop are slower than before, with the browser and all other apps clearly slowed by something, even after the start of the laptop.

  2. sometimes when I plug in the power cord, the laptop suddenly crashes. It happened to me several times during the loading of the operating system or when I was working on the laptop. After I cleaned up the laptop, I got an error saying "plugged in, not charging", but I fixed it by removing and the battery connection.

  3. the Bluetooth adapter doesn't seem to work. Whenever I try to connect a Bluetooth mouse, the laptop freezes.

  An idea about the origin of these problems and how I could fix them? Thanks in advance.

  I'm under Winodws 8 and the standard hardware configuration of the laptop, with no upgrade.

  
  

• Is that all models Tecra are supported on Windows 2003?

  Hello

  Is all models Tecra are supported on Windows 2003?, if I buy a model Tecra with Vista business or XP Professional, is it possible to install os W3K on this laptop?

  If so, please let me know the same thing, or is there an official link which will give one of these model dependencies?, thanks

  Concerning

  Swami

  First: toshiba DOES not support any operating system server on their machines. You know the difference between a * LAPTOP * and a * SERVER *?

  If you know where is the difference so you can answer yourself why toshiba gives no support in this sense.
  The other point (to come to the technical part), is that you can probably install Windows Server 2003 on your computer. And you can search for drivers. But no one here could give you assistance, you´re completely on your on. (And NO, it has NO official connection :/)

  See you soon

• E4200 Intel 5300 on Lenovo T400 does not connect to N 2.4 ghz or 5 GHz

  I searched the problem as well I can I

  to not eval, I can't have the Intel 5300 on a Lenovo T400 to connect to N or Radio

  I tried every combination possible parameter on the E4200

  and on the 5300

  That was a lot of combinations

  I can't get a G-connection on 2.45 ghz and only one on the 5 GHz range

  To make things worse, try to call Lenovo is useless without a warranty

  they wont even answer simple questions without it, crazy!

  Have you disabled WMM on the E4200? If you have, then no card Intel and many will fail to connect to any frequency N. For 5 GHz specification requires it to be enabled, but don't really care about many adapters, unfortunately the Intel cards and fail to connect.

• Windows 7 Graphics problem: graphics would become all deformed and weird looking

  original title: graphic problem Windows 7

  Hi, I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7 pre-installed on it.  Sorry if this problem has already been asked before, but I couldn't find someone else with the same problem I have.

  Sometimes, the graphics would become all deformed and weird looking.  Look at the screenshot I took:

  

  And it occurs for each program, not only on the desktop.  I could usually get rid of the lines by reducing the window and maximizing it again.  But it's so boring.

  My graphics card is a Mobile Intel (r) 4 Series Express Chipset Family.  I updated the driver from last night, but the same thing happens again.  So I don't know what else could be the problem.

  Thanks in advance!

  Check if your video card has its own program/parameters adjustment control panel and use it to adjust your settings more towards the side of the 'quality' rather than the side 'Performance' and see if that smooth your edges for you.  Also, you said that your system is new.  You can look into having served through your warranty.  You also need to make sure that it is not getting too hot.  Laptops produce a lot of heat and if it doesn't get good ventalation / or enough, then he can begin to display this type of behavior.  I had to go out and get a 'cooling block' for mine to keep it cool.  I hadn't started to have problems because of the heat, but I decided on my own that he was too hot.   Hope this bit of info helps.

• T400 - video feature - Switchable Graphics

  ThinkVantage System Update detected, downloaded and I installed the update ' features of video of ThinkPad (Switchable Graphics) for Windows Vista Version 8.52.4.4 - 080919 a-069896C-Lenovo. The status reads 'Have not installed' even if I chose "install automatically after downloading.

  The side effect is that I do not see the "Catalyst Control Center" in the Notification area, or anywhere else on the computer.

  How can I remedy this? Is there a way to get the update of the system to download and install again?

  Thank you!

  The issue has been resolved. I had to manually download and install the switchable graphics software from lenovo site. I can see the Catalyst Control Center back.

  Thank you.
