Installed Vista on my LG S1 Pro Express Dual S1-P402A9

Really weird, somehow, recentely, my screen started working properly again so my screen doesn't disconnect when I close the lid. And I didn't do anything. Possibly some Windows Update.

Hey, any of you play Halo for PC? I notice that when I talk to other people, I cannot see my own typing, just a grey box but with no letters. This only happens to my S1 Pro and not my desktop.

 

Does anyone know how I configure the Direct Media Button in Vista Ultimate to start the MediaPlayer instead of the MediaCenter?

Found out on my own how to disable the MediaCEnter and how to enable LG DMB service again...

 

I can't use my Stereo Mix to record stuff!! I tried reinstalling the latest Realtek softwares and drivers but it still doesn't work.
Please help!

 

thanks for the great news, but is that abit hard to upgrade drivers ?
is there is any utility like lg upgrade utility to combine them all in one automated upgrade utility
thanks alot

 

Start >> Control Pannel >> Media direct , then just choose Media Plyer

After reading this thread regarding the drivers and compatibility I was hesitated to upgrade to Vista so what I did is installed a test dummy Vista on my S1 and found out the driver issue isn’t that bad. Basically before doing any thing go to LGe website and download ALL the driver they have for Vista for S1 laptops and put them on a CD or any other external device, then do a Full format by deleting all partitions and redistributing them as you prefer (for me it was 40GB C and the rest for D). After installing Vista just install the drivers you download them from LG sit, and that’s it,.,. everything is working ok even the finger print device …

 

This is not XP, there isn't a Media direct thing in the control panel, in both views.

 

^^

yep there is in the classic view

The reason for you not seeing it probably you didn’t install the driver for the direct media ………

 

Thanks to guillerone's link in the post, now all can close their laptop lids without a problem. Although this is not an official solution but it still works .

1. Log in using the administrator account, only that account works.
2. Start, type in Device Manager and press enter.
3. Click on System Devices
4. Double-click on ACPI Lid and go to the Driver tab.
5. Click on Update Driver...
6. Click on Browse computer for driver software.
7. Click on Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
8. Untick 'Show compatible drivers'.
9. On the right-hand side list, scroll down and select 'Volume manager', sounds stupid but works.
10. Once done selection, it should prompt you to restart your computer. Restart.
11. Your lid should now work properly when opening/closing!

Hope this makes it easy.

 

good explanation colin002 :laugh:

I just forgot to put them in this forum

I also made an image tutorial, but it was for a spanish forum (guess what... i´m spanish! :laugh: ) if some day i feel like doing it, i ll make it in english too, for those... let´s say handicaped

 

Sigh, the LG download site is always down.

 

it is not for me, i think.

I checked it last night to see if they released anything new for my laptop, and they didnt, but the download site looked fine to me...

anyway... when the hell are they planning to release an Update Manager (I even forgot its real name!)

Does anyone know why any Vista sidebar Gadget that shows your wireless connection status doesnt work? they all show it as disconnected, but windows says im connected. Probably is becouse I installed the Intel Wireless PRO crap driver appart from the inbuilt in windows

 

By the way, ATI released a new update for the graphics card.

Does anybody here use dual screen? Because when you use it, you get to choose the position of the two monitors, but every time I do something fullscreen, locking computer/screensaver or games, the position tends to reset and the screens don't match up again.
Can anybody help me?

 

Should we use this driver for Mobility Cards?

 

They released an update for this graphics card, ATI Mobility Radeon X1600.
lol, why would I post non-related ATI news.

But if you're saying if the update is useful, I think updates are always good, so I just go and install it.

 

ATI has posted long time ago that MOBILITY cards should have their Drivers from the Notebook Manufacturer... (that's why I asked)

 

I know, but now, they posted the newest update of our GPU on their own site.

 

10x I reinstalled the latest ATI Drivers (from 19.07).
it did solve this problem, but not this one...

 

Yicks! Getting some BSoDs recentely during log-on, oh no.

 

MTK, that bug you said that was not fixed, was mentioned earlier before in this thread. Check it out: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=101446&page=11
Although it's not an official fix.

 

but I have no ACPI Lid on the Device List...

 

Have you tried checking the checkbox to see all device, uncompatible device or something similar?

I have another technical issue
For the very first time, I brought my laptop to school. I started doing this, but recentely, my laptop have been turning on by itself several times and because of that I ended up with 0% battery left a few hours later. I have to do my powerpoint presentation on my teacher's laptop with only 128MB RAM . Any people have similar problem?
I think this is a very serious issue, no laptop I ever know will turn on by itself. Maybe because of some vibrations that caused it, but still it's not suppose to be like that.

 

it didn't start by itself, I guess your lock switch was not locked so one of those media bottuns got pressed while in your bag (assuming they are on the outside of your notebook).

 

yeah that happened to me, luckily it was between classes though so i only lost around 15% of my battery time. Always locked whenever I go to classes now.

 

any1 knows of a BIOS upgrade to S1 Express Dual (S1-MDUOE)?

 

was there ever any official solution for this?
