ThinkCentre S51 type 8172

Hi people,

Just got my machine 3.2 ghz... installed XP Pro.    Seller has rubbed the 80gig drive. Plugged in by ethernet cable from the cable modem.

Mgr. device shows system has NO drivers for ethernet controller, multimedia controller, USB controller, SM bus controller and video controller. (Big question mark on the whole)

However, my USB mouse works and video is fine.

The bottom of the Device Manager it shows 8 additional USB controllers (host 4 & 4 startup hub)-says that all work, but the system does not recognize any other USB device I plug in (like Belkin Wireless device).

I need drivers for at least on the net, to try to find the remaining drivers.

Help?  Please

Note of the moderator; subject published - see below

Just wanted to thank all of you who offered advice on my ThinkCentre S51.  You have been very helpful.

I resorted to buying a set of recovery CD ($50 - arrived the next day) to get my box shaped.  I must say the service and recovery program worked perfectly.

    Crucial , says 'PC2-6400 is backward compatible to PC2-4200 and PC2-5300', so it should work. You have the latest version of the BIOS? If so, then sounds like bad memory, I suggest to RMA for a replacement, or go with Crucial.

  • Boot sequence - boot from USB on more old NetVista, ThinkCentre machines?

    I work with several agencies that have old machines NetVista and ThinkCentre

    Types of machine example would include:

    NetVista 8307-xxx

    8113 - xxx

    8143 - xxx

    I found that the 8307 (even with the last BIOS) doesn't seem to be able to boot a device (e.g. a USB key). Does anyone know if this support can be added or if I'm missing something?

    I have not yet checked but fear than the 8113 machines & 8143 might be in trouble there as well...

    Thank you for any input!

    Booting from a USB key is a little new. NetVistas do not support that at all, as far as I know. It was introduced with ThinkCentres, and it is not a feature that can be added after the fact. In the BIOs boot order is really the only easy way to tell, and you have to look there first, often times it has been excluded from the boot order all together. After that, F12 is your friend.

  • ThinkCentre 23

    Hi all

    I am after some info on a thinkcentre Lenovo A23.

    You want to put a decent graphics into it however not sure about the interface.

    It has 2 slots on an extension tip one comments on PCIe & the other PCI but the Brown PCIe slot

    seems strange & not like other locations of this type that I've seen.

    Could someone tell me if a card standard PCIe would hold?

    Thank you

    PCIe slot can only hold a card Add2dvi, normal graphics card would not work in this location PCIe.

  • ThinkCentre edge 72 video card

    Hi guys... I just bought a lenovo thinkcentre edge 72 and I have a question.

    My sistem is i5 6 mb l3 cache and 4 GB ddr3 1600 mhz... First of all, I would like to know what latency memory have because I want to buy another 4 GB of ram.

    Second... on the lenovo Web site... the sistem has a pci express 16 x 2.0 slot... I want to buy a single video, but not card the officially... like nvidia nvs or ati one or something like that. I want to buy a graphics card for games even it does not take the case (I will change the case if I need of) and by the way the PSU, it's 180 stock w I think... I need to check if I have a connector 6-pin... otherwise I'll change the PSU if I need to...

    While you recommend me some video cards that can work with this type of pc or motherboard and if I need not change the case, better food that fits the case.

    Thanks in advance... good luck

    About memory - buy Samsung / Hynix / Crucial - here's what lenovo uses mainly. Don't worry about latency.

    No need to buy a GPU that needs 6 pins to be used with the E72. Please check if you have really 180W PSU and power 280W (assuming it's the turn). If 280W, you're OK. 180W if you'll need to replace the power supply for use with separate graphics cards. I would say GF GTX 750 Ti (check length). Make sure you can return the pieces if this does not work for you...

  • Behavior of the ADV change corrupt Excel File Types?

    I entered a strange state Excel.  I don't know how. ERGO, I don't know how to reverse the trend.

    All of a sudden, when I click on a file icon to open an Excel file with macros, I am invited twice to activate the macros (medium security).

    Specifically, if I start Excel (new book), add a dummy macro (Sub doit() / End Sub), and save Book1.xls, when I then click Book1.xls, I get two guests enable macro.

    I suspect that this began after I was experimenting with different Types of files advanced under Tools > Options for files in a folder.  I did not notice the problem then because I couldn't have clicked on a file icon for the Excel file with macros.

    Note: I think that the root cause, twice, opening the Excel file may exist even for files Excel without macros.  It simply may not be obvious without the enable macro prompt.

    Also note: I don't get the enable macro double guests when I open the file in Excel, for example by clicking on the name of the file in the list of recently opened files in Excel.

    Unfortunately, I do not know what that file type Advanced had my experiences.  Currently for XLS, they are:

    New:
    Action: ' "C:\...\EXCEL."» "EXE" / e/n %1
    The DDE message: [new ("%1")]

    Open:
    Action: ' "C\...\EXCEL."» EXE' / e '%1 '.
    The DDE message: [open ("%1")]

    It would not surprise me if the reference for %1 in the action line is redundant and root cause of the problem.  It does not appear in the line of action on another PC.  (Old Excel 2003 puts up-to-date and perhaps more older MSWin XP SP3 updates to date.)

    But if I try to delete the reference %1, XP (?) restored automatically, but without the quotes in the line of action "open".

    In other words, if I change the %1 and reference '%1', click OK, and then click on Edit again, %1 (without the quotes) reappears at the end of the two lines of action 'new' and 'open '.  The same is true if I close the file Options window, then re-open it.

    If I remove the double quotes in the "open" action line, I do not receive guests enable double-macro.  However, I get several errors when I click on the icon of the Book1.xls file in a Temp folder, namely:

    C:\Documents.xls is not found
    and.xls is not found
    Settings\Joe\My.xls is not found
    Documents\Temp\Book1.xls could not be found.

    Despite these errors, the Excel file is opened correctly.

    Note that the full path is "C:\Documents and Settings\Joe\My Documents\Temp\Book1.xls".

    This brings me to two tentative conclusions:

    1. the double quotes around the %1 in the line of action are needed for a path with interstitial spaces can be interpreted correctly.

    2. the file is indeed open twice, once for %1 in the line of action and again for %1 in the DDE message.

    On this basis, the prompt enable double-macro is not surprising when %1 is replaced with '%1' in the line of action.

    I can work around the double-open by editing the DDE message for the 'open' action, leaving '%1' at the end of the line of action.

    But that changes the behavior to open two Excel files by clicking on their icons in file, namely: each file is opened in a separate instance of Excel instead of the same instance.  Ironically, it is the alternative behavior that I was experimenting with some days; and it might even be the behavior that I prefer.  I'm mulling over always pros and cons.  (Which I am fully aware of and need any help understanding.)

    But the point is: it wasn't always the case.

    So the question is: how to make (less intrusive) to restore Excel to its previous behavior, only enable macro prompt and probably open the file only once and when I click on file icon in a folder by opening multiple files within the same instance of Excel?

    I certainly want to avoid to uninstall and then reinstall Excel.  I also want to avoid going back to a recent restore Point, since I'm not sure what desirable changes, I could have done in the meantime.  I am not opposed to editing the registry, if someone can tell me exactly what change to make.

    (Change my macro security to avoid any incentive is also not a viable alternative.)

    No doubt, this could be a matter of Excel, is not a matter of XP.  I'll post a similar question to Excel answers appropriate Forum.  I don't like the multi-post; but I don't know how crosspost, which is even supported by the Forum of answers.  However, I wonder if a XP-savvy person could recognize and solve the problem more quickly than a generalist to Excel.

    I use Office Excel 2003 SP3, Excel 11.8169.8172 version, and MSWin XP Pro SP3 update 29/03/2009.

    I know I'm behind in updates.  But all I ask is to restore the system (XP or Excel) to a State that worked fine before.  'Before' what I can not say with certainty; but certainly some time in the last week or two, during which I did no major changes to the system other than experimenting with File Types.

    I _-u-me that XP or Excel update is not necessary, unless someone can point to a specific patch since the 29/03/2009, which solve my specific problem.

    Tushar Mehta wrote in the Excel forum:

    Maybe you can try - and I don't know if it will or won't work - Excel Help | Detect and repair... ability.

    While I wouldn't recommend it for the faint of heart and not without a lot of precautions, he does not seem to have done the trick.

    Advanced File Types have now been restored to what I expected, namely: Open action is now "C:\...\EXCEL. EXE/e"- no argument %1 - and the DDE message is [open("%1")].  By clicking on two ".xls" file icons results in both open in the same instance of Excel, the behavior of original product.

    The procedure is a bit irritating because, first of all, click on detect and repair in Excel Help resulted in warning to close all Office applications, including Excel.  Because I didn't know no other way to invoke the detect and repair command, I clicked on the option Ignore, which I was grateful for.

    Secondly, this operation has warned the Office installation CDROM may be needed, and indeed, it was necessary to complete the configuration of Office 2003.  That's troubling for me because I had never used the CDROM (Dell preinstalled the software), and I've had trouble finding even it since I had never unpacked boxes after a large home remodeling 3 (!) years.  (By wife hunted me for a year before she gives up on me.)

    Without the CDROM to installation, I couldn't run Excel; He has always tried to complete the configuration of office.  And in fact, it was something on the CDROM which corrects the shares of Advanced File Types.

    Now, I have to learn that rest to detect and repair could cancel.  I used the product for 5 years.  I have really no idea what settings I could have done for this period of time

    But it worked!

  • Intel Virtualization Technology - Thinkcentre A58 - Pentium Dual-Core E5300

    Hello

    I am considering buying a ThinkCentre A58 with a clocked Intel E5300 processor
    Model/type: 7515-7SG

    I would like to run "Windows XP Mode" on Windows 7 Pro.

    For the XP Mode, I need ability IVT.

    My Question is:

    The Lenovo 7515-7SG come with an E5300 CPU which is capable Intel virtualization technology?

    IVT depends on the TECHNICAL Code of the E5300 CPU.

    Intel offers CPU E5300, who do not have the ability of IVT.

    E5300 know:
    http://Ark.Intel.com/product.aspx?ID=35300#specs

    E5300 Code TECHNIQUE

    * SLB9U: IVT No.
    * SLGTL: IVT Yes

    Check the E5300 features supported:

    http://processorfinder.Intel.com/list.aspx?ParentRadio=all&ProcFam=2841&SearchKey=

    Even if Lenovo ships an E5300 with SPEC Code SLGTL - needs a BIOS that does not block IVT.

    ... made the A58 BIOS IVT available?

    I already searched the Lenovo Thinkcentre A58 product support site - has not found something valuable.

    Thank you

    I found the answer.

  • Determine the ThinkCentre family

    Calling all gurus!

    Where I work, we use a few Lenovo ThinkCentre desktops. We no longer have the box so I have no easy way to determine which family they belong.

    Does anyone know an easy way to understand?

    Thank you.

    I often use a copy of the publication of Lenovo personal Systems Reference/Thinkcentre Desktops removed (available HERE) to quickly identify the specifications of systems by their model numbers. It will not list them all, but at least using the model number of the front of the box, you can quickly find the family and the detailed specifications of this family, especially the chipsets used and available processors. This publication also makes it easy to compare the specifications of different models and form factors.

    Information is not always correct as to what ports/slots are in fact to the Board of Directors, but the chipset of information and the range of CPU are a great help. Can save a lot of time to enter individual models of type in the web page.

  • [Power Mac G5] Type of liquid cooling system?

    Y at - it anyway how to determine type of LCS just by looking at the case?

    We have old school Power Mac G5 DP 2, 7GHz (early 2005) we use for editing (well, for the last two years, he's right there and no one wants to touch this old piece of...). They will throw him in the year, and since I was take care of him for a while, I thought I'd take home when they do and use it as a backup machine for the data of my and my wife. I would like the max memory, put a few large hard drives (and small SSD, but there seems to be a lot of problems with this) and run the Linux command (more problems).

    But first, I have to clean the machine and look at the State of it. What particularly concerns me is the LCS (DP 2, 7GHz I) - these things have been prone to leaks and what I found there are at least three revisions of the LCS - second of them made by Panasonic seems to be the most reliable. I can't look inside, deeply, because it must be ready to use at least for another 3-4 months, I can do is to open the case and remove the front fan and look outside the heater.

    So this brings me to my question: Y at - it anyway to determine the type of LCS just by looking at the case?

    Thank you...

    Apparently, there were two models more prone to leaks than others, although still very rare. See this http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/faq/powermac-g5-liquid-cooling-infos-fuites-issues.html

    The damage inflicted by a system of flight are very serious, and it is almost impossible to hide or completely clean. As soon as you open the side panel on the Power Mac, you will easily be able to tell if this unit experianced a problem.

  • How is it safe to type the password for the Mac in while net surfing?

    Greetings!

    This question, I hope a little more am react.

    Mac (not the apple account password) password is required to type to make big system changes. I started thinking, how easy is to villains to steal? I was surfing net to find answers to a problem and then typed in command in Terminal.app. And then started worrying - could he was reading / stolen by some site that I had to open this time?

    Noticed that terminal needed no password minute later when I added the new command. I hope he didn't mean that his record here and outside the source able to read?

    Sorry I don't know much about tech. I hear passwords remain safe and it worried me. Ease is even steal password of Mac by external sources (hoping that I am not infected with what either).

    If your Mac is protected by a password for admin (connection) anything can happen, so I hope you can be one, one good and that use you it.
