    ACPI Driver

    Hi! :)

    First of all, please remember that what is below the dashes
    in my message is my automatically rotating sig file and is
    not part of the message.

    I say this, because when outside of Christian groups,
    I get some responses asking why I'm posting off topic. :)

    Anyway... :)

    I am running XP x64 and after installing it, I found that it
    runs smoother for me than the 32 bit version and of course,
    I can see all 4 GB of my RAM.

    And just FYI, my Windows XP64 does have SP2 installed,
    along with all of the latest updates.

    I have a Lenovo Y530-40516GU laptop, but what I'm looking
    for probably isn't Lenovo specific and a generic for laptops
    will probably work, but I do not know this for sure.

    What I do know, is that with a standard desktop PC,
    it would not be an issue, but laptops are obviously
    done differently, when it comes to power management
    and so, here I am. :)

    So after installing and looking at Device Manager,
    I found that a few devices were "Unknown".

    I was however, initially able to find XP64 drivers
    for all but two of them, as I looked first, to see
    what might not install okay with the initial XP64
    installation and got those drivers ahead of time.

    All except two of them, that is (in the Details tab):

    1) ATK\0100 (which is for the HotKeys, I believe).
    I did however, find a driver that worked for
    that device, so if anyone needs it, I would
    certainly be happy to pass it on. This driver
    is not Lenovo specific, but I can't say which
    other machines it will work on. But I know
    that it is a common issue for folks after they
    install XP64 in their laptops.

    2) ACPI\2004\0 (which is for Virtual Power Configuration).
    I cannot find a driver for this one and have been
    scouring the Internet for days now! Does anyone
    have this driver? From what I understand, it will
    affect the battery life of my laptop greatly! I have
    not tried the laptop unplugged yet, since putting
    XP64 on, but from what others have reported,
    battery life goes down significantly without this
    driver installed.

    I doubt that the driver has to be Lenovo specific, but that
    is of course possible. And Lenovo does not support XP x64.
    I have tried the XP 32 bit driver, as well as the Vista 64 bit
    driver (those are the two that Lenovo provides) and neither
    of those will work for me and I don't want to go back to
    32 bit and no offense to anyone running Vista, but I just
    cannot stand it! :)

    Maybe there's someone here looking for a porting project? :)

    And of course, as I said, if anyone needs Driver #1, please
    just let me know (you can use the email address here as well)
    and I would be happy to send it on to you! :)

    Anyway, thanks in advance for your help! :

    Scroll down to the bottom to accept the license agreement.

    This link is for Intel's Infinst_autol.exe file. Download and run it and it
    will install drivers and enumerate number of devices under Device Manager.
    It will work for Windows Vista 64-bit, I checked.

    This one is for ATK\0100 for use on Vista 64-bit.

    Okay, but I am not running Vista. I am running XP64.

    I did download it and run it. It said it installed,
    but nothing happened.

    Thanks for responding, but that doesn't seem to be
    the resolution for my issue.

    See below also, please...

    Again, I am running XP64.

    See above.

    I strongly suspect the notebook is manufactured by ASUS and sold under the
    Lenovo brand name. No one else makes laptops/motherboards that uses the
    ATK\0100 drivers.

    Re: ACPI Driver

    That is possible. It might have even been an ASUS driver
    that I used for the "ATK" device that did work.

    Really? Are you absolutely sure about that? I'm serious,
    because if that's correct, then maybe I can try an ASUS
    driver again for the "ACPI\VPC2004\0" device.

    I did try an ASUS driver for it already and it didn't work,
    but I think it was a Vista64 driver that I was just seeing
    if it would work. :)

    I downloaded this and peeked inside...

    Lenove EnergyCut, after you've install this...

    You will find ACPIVCP.INF under C:\Program Files\Lenovo\EnergyCut

    If you point Device Manager at this it may install the ACPIVCP driver.

    I tried that driver, which is for the Y710. It did not work.
    I even extracted the files manually and tried to update
    the driver by pointing it directly to the folder.

    The Y710 driver was a fix for some folks with a different
    model of Lenovo, but it doesn't work for the Y530,
    which is what I have.

    Nothing from Lenovo will work. I have tried every
    "Lenovo" suggestion that I have found on various
    web sites and in various forums. None of them
    will work for me on the ACPI\VPC2004\0 device.

    I was afraid of that. I guess it's actually for Windows XP 32-bit. I've
    looked high and low and starting to think it doesn't exist for Windows XP
    64-bit.

    Re: ACPI Driver

    Like the "ATK0100" driver, I think it's going to be
    a matter of finding one that doesn't say it's for a
    Lenovo, but works anyway.
