• Lenovo's Active protection system

  Hello guys!

  How can I remove Lenovo Active Protection System with GPO? The version of the software is 1.0.0.17, it is installed on Windows 7 Enterprise x 64 machines.

  Kind regards

  Hi, DH,.

  I believe that active Protection System uses only a standard MSI package, so just search the branch register "active protection system" HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall Look in the Uninstall key, and you should see something like:

  MsiExec.exe /X {46A84694-59EC-48F0-964C-7E76E9F8A2ED}

  Copy this text and add a/SB to do silent uninstall, i.e.

• Should I really ThinkVantage Active Protection System?

  I'm always tired on third party software and additional things to windows... specially the programs that start themselves when windows starts. So I wonder about ThinkVantage Active Protection System... do I really need it on my T440s? I read it as an airbag to protect disk HARD incase I let fall or bump my machine. But what happens if its still sitting on my desk and I never let it drop or knock it. then what I still have to install?

  As long as your machine is runing a typical hard drive and not an SSD n, I would keep the APS installed. If you feel that it interferes with the operation of the HARD disk, you can change the settings and make it less sensitive.

  My $0,02 only.

  Hi all

  Based on marketing materials, it seems that the UltraBay has this feature as well.

• Active Protection System

  Hello :-)

  I have a question (and I should mention that I don't have much experience with the computer stuff ;-))):

  I really need the Active Protection system for my laptop (R61i, windows 7), but the version 1.71 (the only available on the support site) just works with 64 - bit. Does anyone know, if or when there is a new version for 32 - bit?

  Thank you very much!

  Ellen

  PS: Sorry for my bad English...

  Hi Ellen and welcome to the forum,

  Here you can find the 32-bit version for Windows 7:

  Also, you can download and install the Lenovo system update:

  Update the system checks for new drivers and software from Lenovo for your computer and you give a list where you can choose what you want to download and install, and it will be installed for then it without having to download and install each one, manually. It should also give you the opportunity to download and install the Active Protection System. It is also a nice tool to check new versions of drivers and Lenovo software for your computer.

• ThinkVantage Active Protection System disappeared after Win 8.1 upgrade

  The ThinkVantage Active Protection System has disappeared from my ThinkPad after update to 8.1 Win.

  I was going to reinstall it from the Lenovo ThinkVantage page but the 64-bit version of Win 8 is not available for download.

  Curiously, the 32-bit version is available.

  This is a temporary situation?  Will there be a version 8.1 Win?

  Lenovo would anyone explain what to expect?

  OK, Active Protection 64-bit to win 8.1 is now available for download and works great!

  I guess I panicked and thought that Lenovo would leave supporting this excellent tool (it's happened)!

• Active Protection system for Windows 7 64-bit?

• The unwanted 'no speaker' icon on windows desktop and active

  We have a large square icon 'no speaker' bounce around on our Office W7 and on top of active windows. The President works currently as are all audio components. Thinking that it was associated with the button "mute" on the keyboard, we changed keyboards but no luck. We looked at the parameters related to the speaker icon in the system tray and they all seem normal.  A reboot didn't help. We cycled headphones/microphones in the connector of the control panel front and which did not help. This makes us crazy!

  Thank you.

  I simply blow the computer and get a new one if this continues.

  Yann,

  No need to blow up the computer. Right after that I sent the last answer I looked down on the ground to find out my Cocker Spaniel Puppy sleeping on the remote control for my monitor. I picked it up and there was a 'Mute' with the same icon that I complained. I pressed the "Mute" button and the problem resolved!
  Now I can sleep again.
  That's the problem with dogs. Always play with our remotes.
  Thank you

• Keyboard shortcut "Move the focus to the next window in the active application" system ignored

  Hello. Other than, for example, InDesign, Photoshop (12.0.2 x 64, Mac OS X 10.6.6 MacPro 4,1) seems to ignore the keyboard shortcut 'Move focus to the next window in the application active' systemic (in my case, and I think that generally, cmd - <). The key combination is not used by the set of keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop; in fact, Photoshop refuses to accept it as a shortcut, favourable to its use as a shortcut to System. But then why is inoperative in Photoshop and how to make it work?

  Thank you very much

  Adobe uses Ctrl Tab.

  CTRL F6 is the command of apple, I think you're talking about.

  Method 2:

  If the problem persists, then try to put your computer in a clean boot state, and then try to install the update to windows.

  By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

  Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  d. When you are prompted, click open to install the update.

  Method 4: You can also try to perform the system restore , safe mode and check if the same problem occurs.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Pilot of U160 APS (Active Protection System)

  Hello

  I have improved my IdeaPad U160 Windows 7 64-bit and download pages do not show the drivers of the APS. The driver that has been stored in the software on the hard drive partition does not work with 64-bit; in fact, it prevents Windows to start even in safe mode, while I had to use an image of the partition to restore the system. Anyone know where to download this driver? I tried the driver for the U330; it installed, but it reports very sudden movement and parks, that the HARD drive takes into account so that the IdeaPad is rock steady.  I don't know if it's the wrong driver, or if the movement detector does not work correctly.

  Best regards

  Mandos

  Thanks for the suggestion. I found a U160 with Windows 7 x 64 (complete with record drivers on D :) in an electronics store and checked the version numbers of the APS. They are identical to those for the U330. That's why I turned it on again on my own, and sharp the strange movement it earlier could not be replicated. I don't know the reason for the effect, but as we go, now I'll stay with the 1.70.09 U330 driver. If I fail again, I uninstall the driver and use the one that I copied from the IdeaPad at the electronics store.

  Best regards

• How can you have Windows XP and Vista operating system on the same computer?

  I am new to the community.

  I just ordered a XPS420.  The guy who took my order said he had heard of having two operating systems (XP and Vista) on a single computer and be able to choose the one that you want to use the start.  Someone at - he heard of this being done or done. I have a legal version of Windows XP home edition disk.

  I ask this because the computer that my children no longer have work and they have a lot of older games for XP, they still love to play. My only alternative is to use XP only if I can reformat the system.

  Thank you

  
  

• Windows patches and version files system web site

  Hello

  As I'm troubleshooting various problems, I want to know if the current version of a file system on my system has been patched already by a hotfix.

  I'm pretty convinced I used such a site [Microsoft if I remember correctly] a few months ago.

  I enter the name of the dll and obtain different versions / the latest available at the time.

  Can someone remind me of the address of this site [or if it is a must in my mind]?

  Thanks in advance

  Bruno

  I'm not familiar with a reverse like this search.  But if you know the hotfix KB number, you can open the properties of that Web site and lists the versions of the DLL that it could have installed, which you can compare to your own computer to see if you are updated.

• ThinkVantage Active Protection System for T520

  I wonder why there is no aps for T520. Is it because the laptop has a ssd?

  You must install the driver and the applet for the APS.
  http://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/MIGR-67046

  If you use only the SSD, then you don't need it at all.
