• BK4-T42-2373

  I can't get the wireless controller works on this computer, I tried all the drivers listed, and none of them work.  Device Manager acknowledges a network controller, but when I try to install the driver, I get the message that "the device was not installed because the driver is not found" and yes I used the installation of the c/drivers/.exe...

  Help needed, thanks!

  Hi and welcome to the forum!

  It is possible that you were installing wrong driver, this time before installing the following driver uninstall all drivers wireless previously installed and install it:- http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/6hwc05ww.zip

  Don't forget to install from C:/Drivers/...exe

  Also make sure you see two devices in network adapters (LAN or wireless).

• IBM ThinkPad T42 would not connect to my home network secure wireless

  Configuration IP of Windows __An internal error has occurred: a device attached to the system is not functioning. __Please contact support services technical microsoft for more help.

  Others have had a similar problem, but I tried the solutions that have worked for them, without success.

  All of a sudden, my IBM ThinkPad T42 wouldn't connect to my home network (WPA2-PSK) secure wireless.  It would be either (1) stay in a constant state of "acquiring network address" or (2) do not recognize networks wireless in the range.  Sometimes, it would connect to a nearby unsecured network, but the network would still not appear in the list of available wireless networks.  So I tried to connect directly to the ethernet, which also did not work.  I then ran the ipconfig/all command at the command prompt and got the message:

  Windows IP configuration
  An internal error has occurred: a device attached to the system is not functioning.
  Contact support services technical microsoft for more help.
  Additional information: unknown media status code.

  So, I went to Microsoft Product Support Services, which does not seem to offer all the solutions.  I searched this error online and found several similar problems - some users had problems with viruses.  Some users had winsock2 corruption, and some recommended to reinstall the drivers for my network cards.  I'm computer literate, but not a computer Wizard, so I was able to follow their instructions for checking the winsock2 corruption (I think), and I think it's very good.  I did a complete scan of symantec, but who came with nothing.  I downloaded the drivers for my network cards which are: Wireless - 11 a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter, ethernet - connection of a Mobile Intel (r) PRO/1000 MT and was able to update my wireless driver, but not the driver ethernet.  The latter Assistant said we "could not find a better match for your hardware than the software currently installed".  I had wireless internet to work for a few hours last night, even if I still have the same error message when I run ipconfig/all.  I started my computer this morning, and the same problem again - constantly says "address of network acquisition" even if no wireless networks are appearing on the list.  Also, I tried the system restore to see if I could go back before the problem started, but after that I tried several dates, System Restore has still not successful - it wouldn't work again.

  So now, I have my computer in safe mode, and it is connected to the wireless internet, even if the ipconfig/all command still gives the same message, and I am running symantec again to see if I can find something!

  Please help me!  If you think that I may have missed something with the winsock2 or installing drivers, or if there is something I could not find on the internet, please let me know!  I'll try anything.

  Note: I have Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3.
  Network card drivers, I'm running are:
  Wireless: Date - 02/05/2007, Version 4.1.2.156, provider - Atheros
  Ethernet: Date - 24/10/2006, Version 8.7.9.0, provider - Intel

  Thank you!

  Update: when I disable the Intel PRO/1000 MT driver, I can run ipconfig/all with success.  Then imagine it's something to do with this adapter or the driver.  Any ideas?

  OK, so here is what I did to solve this problem.

  I've updated to the latest version of the IBM BIOS

  Then get the WLAN driver from the manufacturer, NOT IBM, NOT Windows Update. Depending on your card, it will be Cisco or Intel.

  I can not stress enough that updates to IBM and Windows update does not work and I lost a lot of time. However, once downloaded directly from the manufacturer (new version) worked flawlessly!

• Problems with the driver after formatting a Thinkpad T42

  Hello

  I formatted my Thinkpad T42 since I lived on different issues and recovery software did not work. I was able to reinstall Windows pro sp2, but I'm not able to do some hardware to work.

  I downloaded all the drivers for the wireless, but even after I install them I can't use the wireless connection. I tried to follow the steps to update the driver, but it does not work either. Even if I put the correct path to the driver it says that it does not.

  What should I do?

  Well, the problem was that I had to install service pack 2.

  Thank you all

• T42 2373 dead?

  Hi forum,

  I have a T42 model 2373 and get the error "fan error". So I buyed a new and replace as described in the maintenance manual. After I rebuild the T42, the computer looks dead. When I push the power button, the battary lamp blinks short and nothing that more occur. I connect the power and when I push the power button once again, the bluetooth led will begin to Flash. No BIOS, fan does not work, the projection of the small lamp at the power supply works do not light. Only the lamp of the battery is activated, when I connect the power supply. This lamp is green and glittering. What's up with that. I kill the mainboard change the fan?

  So I hope that everyone knows what is happening.

  Thanks to all, for thinking about my problem and try to help.

  So long.

• ThinkPad t42 10 Windows update drivers

  The T42 there the driver updates to make it compatible with Windows 10?

  The CPU of 2 GHz in a T42 is a Dothan, so you will have no problem installing Windows 10 to 32-bit only, of course, it will boot from USB and he needs to pick up most often when installing devices. I recommend that you use the drivers of Windows Inbox instead of trying to force the very old drivers of the machine with compatibility/manual / installation.

  However, with the latest versions of Windows 10, older GPU Radeon Mobility, as in the T4x/T6o series will result in a BSOD if you try to install the older drivers for Vista (Win7 modded). I came across this one a few weeks ago on a T60 and all my methods to have the machine accept old drivers because it failed. You might be stuck with the conduct of the display with the basic display driver Microsoft, which does not support the bases even if and to a proper resolution.

  If you have the time and you want to experiment on the venerable T42, I recommend it. It's very fun.

  See you soon!

• T42 2373 wireless card

  I just took it and can not get on my network because of the security of wireless b card I tried to change the map with a bg wireless Intel and I get an error. Unautherized electric network card and remove it... There must be a way to upgrade this thing isn't there? I tried a second card intel and Broadcom card. I'll try a bios update if ever I can get it to load the driver page.

  Welcome to the forum!

  You need a card issued IBM with a certain number FRU, since wireless cards are on a white list in the BIOS and that's why your 'new' raise an error.

  If you exhaust your options, feel free to leave me a private message, I have a couple of sitting around, all Intel 2200BG cards out of ThinkPad T4x.

  Good luck

• T42 2373-CS8 Rescue & Recovery 4.2100016

  Try to do a backup on DVD. After chossing the CD/DVD drive it says "can not estimate of available space on the cd/dvd" (I have a Swedish version) so worded could be different in English. I try TDK DVD - R 4.7 GB DVD. Should work, or?

  There is no DVD RW in this T42... :@)

• T42 - 2373-CS8

  Windows XP SP 3 installed last BIOS 3.23 incl. Try to install Power Bishop 1.65. Installation is running, all right, but after a reboot, no sign of any MP. Any clue?

  '1.65 V' is only available with the Driver power management

  The recent power management software is either the Battery MaxiMizer V 1.38 or Power Manager V 1.99o for example. T43 download page (works great with T42) but need Microsoft .NET Framework 3.x (if I am not mistaken)

  Both reveal the green symbol in the taskbar

• T42 2373-C88: gauge buttons and the power of volume

  Had to reinstall WinXP home on the T42 and cannot find my original disks of T42... downloaded all the updates on the Lenovo site for this model, but I can't seem to get the volume/mute on the keyboard buttons to work or find the power gauge (downloaded power s/w).  Any help on what to download to get the volume buttons to work and where to 'find' the popular power gauge!

  For volume/mute buttons work, you'll need the Hotkey Driver, available at:

  http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?sitestyle=Lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-38953

  For the battery gauge in the taskbar, if you already have Power Manager installed, you need to run Power Manager, go to Options and check "See the gauge of Power Manager in the task bar"

• Windows 7 on a ThinkPad T42 (2374)

  I just bought a T42 opportunity which had Win XP on it and plan to hand it over my oldest daughter. I installed Windows 7 (Home Premium) and work of many hardware components. A little more important, however, not and I spent most of the evening around the area of downloads wandering. No joy, though. The Wi - Fi adapter does not work (this is very important). Windows can't even see that there is an adapter but I know that it is there, because it worked under Win XP. The sound does not work either (important, but not essential). I guess I could buy an adapter USB Wi - Fi, but my preference would be to get the internal working device. What I read here, it seems that determining the correct drivers depends on more than of the model (T42) and type (2374). The product ID of the merits of the case is 2374T 64. Can someone direct me to the correct drivers? Thank you!

  Welcome to the forum!

  There is no "official" driver for your card wireless (IBM. Atheros abg) but it should be available through Windows Update. The same should true audio driver.

  That said, I suggest strongly to go back to XP on this machine, because its graphics (ATi Radeon 7500) is considered to be too low to run W7 or Vista, and there are no drivers for it when it comes to something newer than XP. The graphics performance in W7 will be slow at best for this reason.

  Good luck.
