Question of ' system cannot activate the graphics performance "T400

Hi all

I have a ThinkPad T400 with Switchable Graphics, running Windows 7 x 64, with the latest drivers provided by Lenovo.  I tried to go to the ATI graphics card today for the first time in a little and got a message "system cannot activate the graphics performance", invites me to disable all external video connections or disable all graphics applications.

The problem is, I don't have any open application.  I disabled several startup programs, uninstalled VMWare Workstation and tried several services, I thought that might interfere with the manual - still no luck switching.  I'll reinstall the driver, but in the meantime, anyone have any ideas, or find a resident program that tempt me not not to be able to switch from Intel for the ATI graphics card?

I believe that after checking the system logs, the error was somewhere in libraries Visual C++ Runtime. I decided at this point, that the question was too difficult to follow and with Service Pack 1 available, I saved and reloaded. Problem solved.

  • Error: The system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002), when you perform the backup of Windows.

    Original title: missing for InputPersonalization file

    I used the Windows 7 backup utility for several years and recently it has begun to generate the following error:

    Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\InputPersonalization file. Error: (the system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002)

    I checked with Windows Explorer and confirmed that this file does not exist in this way. Instead, the file exists in the path under my local account.

    How can I stop this error? In addition to a clean backup, I like to keep the overall system as clean as possible.

  • Photosmart C4780 installation fails at the "system cannot find the file specified."

    My problem began simply with your printer, a HP Photosmart C4780, who has always had a wireless connection and would not print.  Initially, the checked network connection fine control panel of the printer.  I ran a Microsoft printer troubleshooting, which found a block in line print and authorized.  The first test page print, but did print the "internal test page.  I did not understand what it meant, so I looked for help on the HP site.

    I ran the HP print and Scan Doctorand he suggested I have reinstall the driver.  I have downloaded and saved the current HP (PS_AIO_06_C4700_USW_Full_Win_enu_140_175.exe) and then uninstalled the existing driver.  When I tried to install a new, a window pops up saying "the system cannot find the file specified," with only a single box for click that simply says "OK".  The installation went through 'examining installation options', after entering "check updates, download updates, install updates" and then it was all in "audit system", who jumped out of the window "file not found" upwards, and when I clicked 'OK', the installation window as well as the error message box simply disappeared.  Which I suppose is the path to the file is under the window, but it didn't fit so he showed not the end.  What I read was "C:\Users\... \Local\Temp\7zS588E\Setup\.\Setup\hpzpnp40...»

    I found a topic on the same printer model for the same problem in the forum, which offered this hotfix:

    You must first complete a level 3 of the software uninstallation. I've included the steps below to do this.

    1. press the Windows key and the letter R
    2. type %temp%, and then click OK
    3. open the 7z folder (a more recent if there are multiples)
    4 open the util folder
    5 open the folder of the ccc
    6. double-click on the Uninstall_L3

    Once you have completed the Uninstall_L3, delete all of the items listed in the temp folder. Note, you will not be able to remove all the elements, please ignore those that do not. Then please empty the trash and perform a clean boot. I've included the document «How to perform a boot in Windows» If your computer does not request it, restart your computer.

    Once your computer is back, you must reinstall the printer software. You can do this either by using the Setup CD, or by downloading the software.

    I did what was suggested, until he got to the point where it says it was the case recommend not removing any more items if I had intended on using the HP Officejet printer (Yes, I have a second HP printer connected to the network) anytime in the future.  Not really understand how it all works, I decided to stop what I was doing, so unfortunately it has not solved my problem.

    Do I need to uninstall both printers HP before I can reinstall a?  And if I do that, is there a reason that I wouldn't be able to reinstall the two printers?  Looks like I'm asking trouble.  Bottom line... I can not install the driver.

    I tried to install the full versions and the driver base and still get the same result.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 - 3100t for computer laptop, running Windows 7 Edition Premium, version 6.1.7601 family service pack 1 64-bit.  I have not installed new hardware or software.  This printer has always had a wireless connection.  The router I'm using is a Netgear 54Mbps WGR614 v6 (provided by my cable company) and the network includes not only my laptop and the Photosmart printer, but also desktop ASUS, HP printer, an Officejet 6300 series (used only for printing graphics and photos via a wired to the router) and a chip on Vizio TV.  I use Norton 360 first Edition and disabled the antivirus auto-protect when I downloaded and tried to install the driver.

    Help, please!  And thanks in advance for your time and your attention.

    Oh, Jamieson, it worked!  I can print again!  A massive amount of thanks and congratulations to you.

    I couldn't believe it when he actually passed the point where it normally would stop the installation, but then almost at the end, upward jumped «Fatal error during installation»  My excitement sank into a depression.  He said while the installation was not successful and he needed to collect information in order to diagnose the fault.  I looked at what has been collected, and it was more or less gobblety-* beep * for me.  There was a code of 19714722 error condition, if that means anything.

    Then he placed on my desk, the "Error of Installation HP - Windows 7.hta" file and instructed me to do away with the current window, restart, and then open the file and move forward with these guidelines.  I did and he basically had me to restart the computer once again, and then turn the printer off, unplug the printer, then unplug the router, wait 30 seconds and then plug the TAA - DAA and back in, I'm back in the business of printing.

    Thank you very much for your time and patience.

    All the best to you and yours!

  • Backup of Windows 7 - the system cannot find the specified path, error Code 0 x 80070003

    I have serious problems back up my own machine to a share on our FILE SERVER as \\FILE-SERVER\Backup\

    I have already backed up another PC using exactly the same settings I used on my PC successfully.  So I guess it's nothing to do with the FILE SERVER or the backup settings.  There must be something to do with what I'm trying to backup of my machine.

    First, some background.  This exercise was started when Windows Server 2008 r2 o/s fell one of our servers.  I tried to reinstall the operating system several times, without success.  In the end, I caught another drive and rebuilt the o/s on the server.  Then I got in trouble by promoting to a domain on the network controller.  In the end, I've renamed server FILE Server for FILE SERVERS.

    We share regularly four records on what is now the FILE SERVER:

    \\FILE-SERVER\Backup - a folder where the backups of all other devices are written, so that they will be saved with the server

    \\FILE-SERVER\Company - contains all of the data of our company

    \\FILE-SERVER\GEM - this is for our own database application

    \\FILE-SERVER\Install - contains all the installation files for the software we use

    These are all inmates on a RAID 1 array that is separate from the system drive that covered.

    On my laptop, I had made these "Available offline" shared folders, while I still had everything that is available to me when I was away from the office.  They were of course shared under \\FILESERVER\... not \\FILE-SERVER\... Before the server down, I had backup works fine on my machine.

    After having got the server up and going again, I started going there from the WIndows 7 Client PC backups again.  I started with a desktop computer, which of course have not all offline files.  This turned out to be relatively simple.

    Then, I started with my machine.  Initially I did not 'Available offline' folders shared meanings.  I created my backup using exactly the same settings that had worked OK on the desktop.  But when I ran the backup I got:

    The system cannot find the specified path, error Code 0 x 80070003

    I tried all sorts of things to make it work:

    • with or without an image of the system.
    • reducing the backup in a single folder.
    • do it again 'available offline files

    Nothing makes no difference.  In the end, I looked in the Sync Center to look at the offline files folder.  Under mapped network drives I discovered that I still had the files and folders in \\FILESERVER.  In their Menu Popup 'Always available offline' is grayed out.  So I deleted the Copies offline.  This delete the files in the folders but not files.

    Since I could find no way to delete the old mapped network drives.  I decided that I had painted myself into a corner.  So I bit the bullet and re-installed my laptop too.  This will get rid of the unwanted old mapped network drives - BUT NOT the ERROR!

    HELP - I'm running out of ideas!

    I have a WORD Document that all the settings that I used on the server and Clients, as well as the reasoning behind these settings, documents, but I can't find a way to download.

    Hi Brian,.

    These problems occur because the folders or libraries that you are trying to back up or restore include a reparse point.
    Analytical points are similar to shortcuts Windows or Unix symbolic links. A point of analysis can be used to point to a file that is moved temporarily to a different drive. For example, a reparse point would a folder such as C:\DVD to point to drive E, the real DVD player.

    Perform the steps from the link below and see if the backup works.
