T60p Win8.1 Pro: Can't find display/video adapters [SOLVED!]

[MikesChevelle]

Device manager says I have the "Generic Display Adapter" install. I have tried a few different ones from the Lenovo site in compatibility mode to no avail....Im just trying to get sleep mode back..........

Try the Vista one.

Good luck.

You're probably not. Quite a few people see little use for W8 on standard PC platforms, though...

Have you tried the Vista driver: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc ... d533ww.exe

Well I finally figured it out.

When I was installing the win 7 driver, part of that install was an ATI install, but I guess that part of it WASN'T being run in compatibility mode, so I went into the drivers folder and just clicked on the ATI setup.exe and set that to run in compatibility mode.

BOOM

I have sleep back in the options.

Did you do a clean install of 8.1, or did you upgrade from 8? I run Win8 on my T60, but I have been a little hesitant doing the upgrade, as most drivers were installed in compatibility mode. Everything works perfect today, except from a process related to the ATI graphics that once in a while goes crazy with CPU usage. Just worried there might be issues during the 8.1 upgrade, and that I have to install drivers over again.

I also see that some new drivers for T60 / Win8 and 8.1 has been released since I did the install. But no graphics driver.

I upgraded to 8.1 pro from 7 ultimate.

My new issue is that it will sleep but after a certain amount of time in sleep, it just powers down (sometime over night)
