W520, Win 2008 R2 & issues with NVIDIA 2000 M and Optimus

I had this Setup program runs very well before, before my HARD drive crashed and I had to rebuild my images. But now I can't understand what I did and how I got it to work. I have two OS's installed on my laptop in a mode dual boot (Win7 & Win2k8 R2 SP1 SP1). I have the image of Win7 works great but Win2k8 R2 SP1 is sends adjustments.

When I have the BIOS set to use DISCRETE (aka: NVIDIA) I managed to install the driver of the Optimus the latest NVIDIA drivers & everything works fine.

However, when it is set to OPTIMUS or INTEGRATED, I can't display updated drivers. Driver Intel I am pulling on the Lenovo site it not install because it says that it is not supported in load on the operating system:

http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=DS014907

When I try to install NVIDIA drivers (when OPTIMUS is selected), it is said that he can that there is an Intel driver installed first.

I don't remember how I got to this last work time and I'd really like to avoid entering the BIOS, whenever I need to go to Win2k8 and affecting it DISCREET that I prefer to stay in mode OPTIMUS being that it's benefitial on the battery life.

Answering my own question...

When you have a BIOS OPTIMUS value (discrete / INTEGRATED), install the drivers for Windows 7 NVIDIA Optimus:

x 64- http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS014142

x 86- http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS013693

It will install the Intel & NVidia drivers. After that you have, you can retrieve the latest video drivers from the NVIDIA site & install successfully (which includes the NVIDIA Control Panel application).

With the drivers installed, you will be able to set the BIOS for DISCRETE or INTEGRATED and it will find the correct driver at the start as he now installed.

  • Having major compatibility issues with Adobe, Mac Yosemite and Wacom Cintiq programs companion hybrid.

    Since I upgraded my Mac iOS Yosemite, my Adobe CS6 programs do not work well at all. They start very well, but the menu windows acting weird, often forcing me by dint leave whenever I try to do something. I downloaded programs CC trials and some may work better for me, but most have similar problems when I try to use on the Wacom. I'll explain my setup, and exactly what is happening...

    I own an iMac end 2012 model (the one without the cd player) and a Wacom Cintiq hybrid companion that I use as a secondary display design. The screen Wacom is under my iMac in the settings screen, since my Wacom rest below the iMac screen. Think Nintendo DS... like how the lower screen is touch screen... same deal here.

    When I open Photoshop CS6, CS6 Illustrator or even Illustrator CC and move them on my Wacom screen, the 'new' window is aligned with the top of the screen, cutting off buttons and options I need. I can't reposition the window because the upper part is necessary to move it. In the case of the window 'opens', it does not at all appear, but it blocks my program. It is as if he wants me to cancel the open window, but the window is not on any screen. That's when I have to force quit. I also noticed that sometimes it seems you have a 3rd office every time I enter the mission control afterwards. I have no idea why this is so.

    The only option that I know to get around these problems is to put my screen on the mirror and mirror of the iMac screen mode, but not only I have to go into settings and recalibrate my pen, whenever I want to use these programs, but it's a major drawback when I fight for space on my screen since I was only 1 working with this mode. And just to be clear that CC Photoshop works perfectly for me. No compatibility issues he Fortunately, but if it works well with my setup, then why don't the others. Worse yet, I don't know who is at fault... What is an Adobe problem, a problem of Yosemite or a problem of Wacom... I do not know.

    Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to the 'default' permissions that need to be changed

  • Potential SEO issues with the meta description and h1 tag

    Work on the referencing of BC site and noticed the page markup has more than a description meta tag. I think there must be meta tag single description within the section of the page. If someone looked into this? It would seem that the models have the meta description and then tag when a new page is created, if you fill in the description field of SEO for this page, BC adds another meta description tag. What's going on with that and is there a workaround? I'm sure that this negatively affects the SEO.

    Then there is a problem of h1. An h1 tag is an indicator of what the content of the page. Search engines reduce the value of a page that contains multiple h1 tags. If a page Abuse the h1 tags, this page could be determined a junk page and not be indexed. Again, the model contains h1 with the page logo and many of the pages included with the model (Tribeca) reuse h1 in the body. Is there a css solution to substitute the h1 used in logo template? Would anyone like to gift of the snippet of code I could use for this purpose? I'm really bad with css...  Thank you.

    Well Yes and it is one of the Colombia-British ones. That would be a problem with this model. I think that there are a few things wrong with this pass by the forums so I don't know if the BC was made aware of them but I will go to them about this.

    Remove the meta model files from descriptions if you can yourself and that will correct if all goes well. It is not the norm, I have plenty of time to build sites and don't have this problem if it is not not a problem of system so uncomfortable on this.

  • Help! Recent issues with Cliq on contacts and Andriod market

    I had my Cliq for little more than 2 months and I don't have big problems. Occasional force closing apps, but nothing big. But over the past two days have been very overwhelming.

    One, my contacts have apparently disappeared. Before, when I clicked on the Contacts tab it would bring a list of my contacts with T-Mobile. But I could also click on the banner at the top of the page and change the contacts list by default to: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, T-Mobile, or all the Contacts. Now, the only option is to all the Contacts! This means that I have to try and scroll the names of hundreds of my social networks, just to find who is in my Mobiel-T Contacts. How can I return these categories? And even when I found some of my contacts from T-Mobile if I chose their message: sorry! The Contacts of the Application (process com.motorola.blur.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close.

    And then the other question that I just found out that I can't access the Android Market. I click on the shortcut of widget and the screen goes black, then after a second return to my home screen. I tried to click on the Android Market app in unrolling menu App and it does exactly the same thing.

    I tried turning off the phone for a few minutes and then turn it back on. I checked the firmware updates, but none was available. I tried to consume a lot of alcohol and shout, but this was only a temporary solution. Can anyone help?

    I do not use this line when I don't think her need but that's "sounds like you need a factory reset" Sorry I said.

    I didn't personally well it happens all at once to my CLIQ but I had something like that happen to many phones in the past and that you have read about it here.

    for me it's like a computer which is just a point in a way where you need to re - install cause try to track down and fix it lasts too long.

    If you have your calendar and contacts in your gmail all synced up just go to setting > sdcard > factory reset and I bet you'll be back running.

    best suggestion I have and what I would do.

    Let us know what is happening or what you decide.

  • Issues with running Photoshop CS6 and bridge with Lightroom 4 also on the same PC

    I was running Photoshop and Bridge, then bought Lightroom 4. Front of installingt 4, I had no problem with the bridge, but since the installation of 4 all of the photo that are held in bridge are gone, but they are in Lightroom. With Lightroom, you are able to edit photos in Lightroom and Photoshop, if necessary, save and close and it automatically changed the image of Lightroom.

    I have two PCs, a top bridge (this one) and the other without, but both have the two edition installed prgrams. On the other PC I can switch between Lightroom and Photoshop without any problems, but when I try to move on with this PC, one with Bridge installed, it will open up Photoshop, but the photo does not transfer. If I close Photoshop program and return to Lightroom, it will tell me that photography could be transferred to Photoshop, because it would not launch. If I close this message window, it will launch then Photoshop and the transfer of photo on which allows me to edit and save as usual.

    My question is; Anyone know if Lightroom and Bridge should run side by side, or do I delete the bridge of this PC and see what happens. Bridge is just a holder and organizer of photos, wherease Lightroom did the same thing, but also has post editing capabilities. Both programs seem redundant, but if your Photoshop running, it is difficult to get files from Lightroom. It seems that you must open Lightroom first, then you can view and chose a picture to work, then back and forth between the two programs. This seems to be redundant bridge.

    Thanks for any help or suggestion.

  • Performance issues with built-in security and ODP

    Hello

    During the performance test for opening a database connection, I noticed that there is a problem of performace huge when using externally identified users and ODP with Oracle 11.1.0.6 client and .net 3.5. The test runs 30 times slower with an external user identified compared to a database of identified user.

    I also noticed that System.Data.OracleClient does not lead to alterations in the significant performance for users of database identified outside vs.

    The test environment is Vista 64 and VS2008 and I see no significant difference by using 32-bit vs 64-bit Oracle client.

    Is this a known problem and is - it a solution for this?

    Kind regards

    It just occurred to me that you are on x 64. If you use 64-bit software, you need to apply 11107 RDBMS patch to the client because there are currently no group ODAC 11106.20 for x 64, but patch 11107 customer will give the same functionality that is in ODAC 11106.21.

  • Incompatible with Outlook 2000 and Windows 7!

    I just bought a new DELL PC with Windows 7.  I've been running with Office 2000 professional and XP Professional for many years.  When I installed Office 2000 on the new PC, I find that outlook 2000 does not work (unable to find the WAB. (DLL)

    After spending several hours trying different things, renaming the wab32.dll then reinstalling office, the copy of the OUTLWAB. DLL from my windows XP PC to the new windows 7 PC, nothing works.

    I now discover that outlook 2000 does not work with Windows 7.  I though that one of the main features of Windows 7 was that, unlike Windows Vista, it works with all of your old software at time of Windows 95.

    I tried Windows LiveMail, but unfortunately, there seems to be no facility to import mail or contacts. As I have several thousand e-mails import and hundreds of contacts, LiveMail is not a viable solution.

    I am seriously considering to format the new PC and the Windows XP Professional installation. For now, I'll continue to use my old XP PC for e-mail.

    Is maintained in Outlook 2000 incompatibility or I'm having difficulties with WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT, ACCESS?

    If you have Windows 7 Pro, you can try the Windows XP mode which will virtualize a Windows XP system and install Office in there. Windows 7 is compatible with almost any software for Windows XP and most of the software for Windows XP. Office 2000 was designed for Windows 95 and to be compatible with all the way to Windows 2000.

    There is a difference with running compatible software and software. Windows 7 works with most software that has been designed to work with Windows XP.
