Moderator note: there is no way to mark a simple/first post as "resolved." I moved from belgam sabermanat 2nd position so it can be tagged accordingly.

Thanks for the report.

Tale of woe and recovery.

I recently acquired an i7 ThinkPad x 201 with 8 GB of RAM and 500 GB drive

I did a fresh install of WIndows 7 Ultimate x 64 with SP1

I ran Windows Update and applied the fixes about 80 - all the critics and most of the other

I downloaded the Lenovo system update and install everything except the BIOS updated as the current BIOS is identical to my other x 201 BIOS Version 1.37 (6QET67WW) - I prefer not to do an update of the BIOS, unless absolutely necessary.

The Manager toolbar of power present in the taskbar, but I can't start to eat.  Or I can it starts application tools ThinkVantage or by pressing Fn - F3.

Each of them immediately to bring up a Windows error dialog box that says Power Manager has stopped working.  The splash screen appear not at all.  The details are:

Description:
Stopped working

Signature of the problem:
Problem event name: CLR20r3
Signature of the problem 01: pwmui.exe
Signature of the problem 02: 1.0.0.0
Signature of the problem 03: 4f626f8a
Signature of the problem 04: PWMUI
Signature of the problem 05: 1.0.0.0
Signature of the 06 problem: 4f626f8a
Signature of the 07:378 problem
Signature of the 08:0 problem
Signature of the problem 09: System.BadImageFormatException
OS version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033

The Version of the file is the same as my other x 201 (1.0.0.0), but the closing date is Thursday, March 15, 2012 02:53:40 while on my other machine is October 3, 2011 23:01:27.  The update is also 15/03/2012 whereas the other machine is 04/10/2011.  It seems that Lenovo rebuilt the package in March 2012.  Manager supply on the other machine says it's 3.64.  The Lenovo site (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-61432#power) lists 3.64 but when you go to the download page it says it's 6.07.  I tried to uninstall Power Manager and install the 3.64 one from the download site.  The same problem.  Finally, I uninstalled the power manager and installed the 3.40 version I downloaded when I got to the other machine.

So, how Lenovo released a package with a picture of the wrong file?

  • "Power Manager has stopped working" on Win7 X120e

    Operating system: Win7 (mainly so far)

    BIOS version: 1.17

    Power man: 6.45

    When you click on the taskbar icon, Power Manager will not open, which gives "Power Manager has stopped working". This has been the case for quite a while and I have struggled to find someone with the same problem that could signal a problem.

    I tried to uninstall and install most of the versions of the Manager of power until later. I have the latest version of the BIOS of the machine and Win7 is the most up-to-date (except for the most recent updates).

    I would like to be able to handle the power supply via the Power Manager options. Any ideas?

    Thank you, very much appreciated.

    It turns out, after much more research, than the .net framework necessary updated. Windows Update sorts basically this - could do with some official documents on that?

    So a simple fix in the end.

  • Desktop Window Manager has stopped working and was closed

    One of our machines (HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC running Windows Vista x 64) will receive the error "Desktop Window Manager has stopped working and was closed" with lots of close error. He reappears (as well as all windows flasher to non-aero, then back to aero) in a few minutes, spends about 5 times per hour.

    I did some research on this and have already taken the following measures without a bit of luck:

    1 run the command chkdsk / SFC scan - nothing found via chkdsk, SFC found some issues fixed, and some, it did not set. Them that it solves not all related to Windows Sidebar, which I do not / does not start.

    2. put updated drivers for ATI Radeon 3200HD - this had a lot of new questions. Installing caused newer drivers ATI catalyst to no longer work with errors during installation and popup errors at startup. After trying several solutions workaround to try to get installed it, I ended up coming back to the driver that came with the laptop, that are properly installed and working without error. I am skeptical of update of this stable driver as a solution to the dwm.exe error.

    3. this problem just started yesterday, that occur with not a lot of changes. Other than updates of windows (I think that .NET framework and a few other updates installed), I replaced NOD32 antivirus with Bitdefender antivirus. The system was stable with bitdefender for about 2 weeks, so I'm not convinced that this program is causing the error.

    4. the event viewer shows the following:

    Failing application Dwm.exe, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e02696, failed module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.18881, time stamp 0x51da3d16, exception code 0 x 80000003, offset 0x00000000000461f0, process id 0 x 124 error, start the application time 0x01cea0365a457adc.

    Offset, process id and start on time all vary, but there are a lot of these application errors in the viewer all screaming Dwm.exe like the failing application.

    What should be my next course of action?

    You do not receive an error but a caveat. NTStatus results (the set of codes execption used by ntdll - the failed module) begin to 0 for no error, 4 for information (you should never see this), 8 for putting guard and C for error.

    It's your specific error.

    //
    MessageId: STATUS_BREAKPOINT
    //
    MessageText:

    EXCEPTION {}
    Breakpoint
    A breakpoint has been reached.
    //
    #define STATUS_BREAKPOINT ((NTSTATUS) 0x80000003L) / / winnt

    Problem is, you shouldn't have breakpoints. Breakpoints are set by debuggers and stop the execution of the program to the State of the program can be examined. There should be no breakpoints in a retail system. More breakpoints are inserted into memory during execution of the program in a debugger. They tend not to do in the actual file.

    So here are two assumptions, either you have no exit code, IE test code (driver?). Or you have a running program that behaves like a debugger (which is suspect).

    Each of the three towers of programs, services, and drivers in increasing amounts. So restrict the possible culprits.

  • Adobe Download Manager has stopped working. This is the message I get

    tried several times to install but I can't. I called Microsoft and they offered the Adobe phone number. (I always use my webrootsecure but I disabled it once to see if it would help the download/install new update of adobe Flash Player, but that did not work either) I don't have all the cover or subscription from Microsoft at the moment, btw.

    (I even know the category in which post this question)

    If Chrome Support/updates being arrested was not involved in your original question of Flash Player, that's what I would have advised you to do.

    Download and run the Flash Player uninstaller program.

  • WIN8 64bits - Recovery manager has stopped working error message

    Hello world. Just bought a computer laptop 1310sa m6 with envy. I tried to create a rescue disk set by using the Recovery Manager. It does not start, just gives the error message "Recovery Manager has stopped working." and then informs me that windows is collecting information and inform me a solution... Being that this machine is only 2 days is a bit much that parties do not work, in my opinion, one most important parts who! Has anyone encountered this and y at - it a solution?

    I tried to do a shadow with an O & O 7 disc image, works fine, but could not create a boot disk for a reason any (and Yes, I was using a 64-bit program!)

    Any help and advice would be accepted with gratitude

    JUST found the solution! DON'T bother with the HP Utility App Center. Go to search and type 'recover' and it will give you the option to create rescue disks... And it worked on my computer without any error message
