I am running Vista Vusiness in my T60. Since I accidentally deleted a few fines in Windows folder, I can't use System Upadte. I downloaded the lastest file from Lenovo site and re-installed it, but it did not correct the problem. The error message I am getting is: System Update has detected a seriou...

I've just upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista Ultimate on my T60 Thinkpad. I also upgraded the Finger Print Software to that of Windows 7. I can enroll finger prints by using Control-> System Security -> Lenovo Finger Print Reader. I can also do the same thing from the Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools. What I...

I've just installed Windows 7 on my T60. I downloaded and installed most drivers except for Client Security Solution, which is not available for Win 7. The System Update program was installed but does not work apparently because the Levono site is blocking its access. Although I've not installed any...

If you used your credit card to buy it, check with the credit card company to see if they automatically give you an extended warranty (12 months). Mine does.

What do you think Folks, should I wait for the N standard to firm-up or is buying the N Wifi card a safe bet at this point? Anybody else having BT intereference with the Atheros mini pci card ? ON a T60? thanks I have an N card. The OEM N card comes with three antennas. I bought it for $30 (I am no...

For the Wifi, hit FN-F5 on your keyboard, and turn the wireless radio on. Thank you for your help. I had to do an 'upgrade' re-install of Vista to correct the problem to a certain extent. But the wireless connection did not get automaticlly established on every reboot. I, then, followed this instal...

I've inatalled Windows Vista X32 Ultimate after deleting the service partition (Predesktop) and reformatting the entire hard drive. Everything has gone without any hitch except for 11abgn and Windows Vista Update Module KB930979. I've tried to install them a few times but they don't get installed. I...

My T60 never did that. The only logical explanation would be in your programs. Do You have any third-party software installed? I am not sure what you mean by third-party software? The computer is useless without software other than what Lenovo installed. My question is: why this thing happens after...

I've owned a T60 for about 13 months. Now, it goes through the booting up process and freezes halfway loading the startup programs. I've had the same problem every 2-3 weeks for the last few months. I had to do full recovery by pressing the blue THINKVANTAGe button. I am getting tired of doing this ...

try going into SAFE mode and uninstall the ati driver. Thank you for your help. That did the trick. Once I uninstalled ATI driver via Control Panel and rebooted, I was asked to click a reset button. I tried to upgrade the driver again and was able to do so without any problem. The first upgrade app...

I did system update today for my T60 and upgraded about 11 items, among which was ATI Mobiliy-RADEON/FIREGL (PCI Express-2). Now I am unable to boot. My T60 stops with a blue screen right after the WinXP Logo displaying an error message in which there is a statement saying a problem with "ait2davg.d...

got my new battery yesterday. They don't even care if i send the new one back. I'm debating just using them both. I mean come on, what are the chances of it blowing up I also remember being instructed to send the old one back or to discard it myself. So I decided not to send it back. But I got a bi...

The package arrived Saturday by USPS, and I installed it yesterday. I nearly always boot into Linux anyway, so why not upgrade and live on the bleeding edge? Maybe I can help others who are having issues. (It arrived in a plain paper sleeve, FWIW.) Having waited for ModusLink to ship it since the f...

My T60 also came with the Atheros N card.

I've had no problem since December 10, 2006 when I got it.

Thinkvantage Access Control
Netgear G wireless router as the access point (WGR614 v6)

Hi, Sorapp Happy to know that your system is working well in dual boot. I plan to do the same once I get my 160 GB hard drive from newegg.com. Are there any obvious or serious issues if I try to have dual boot with XP Pro 32-bit and Vista Business 64-bit ? Do you mind telling us which drive you bou...

I've been using N card with a LinkSys g router and a Netgear g router as a wireless access point.

I've had no probem from day one. I've changed the channel number a few times thinking that I got interference from the neighbors.

Unless you took apart the LCD cover in order to look, if you don't have the WWAN antenna "bulge" on the LCD cover, then you cannot tell from the outside whether or not you have the 3rd "N" antenna. One cannot tell the difference between a "blank" cover where the bulge on the LCD cover would be and ...

EOTM From the reply you gave me on the other thread - it sounded like I needed to order the 3rd ant for the n card in addition to the N card. Here, your post implies that if I order a t60 without WWAN, but with the N card - the T60 will be configured with 3rd ant automatically? Why would their be a...

I've owned a T60 with the 15" Flexview screen for almost 3 months.

I wonder if I have a fan because I've never heard of any sound made by it. I am not sure whether I am just lucky or it is supposed to be like that.

Well, if it is AV-specific, it is so in a weird way. I note in the other thread that two of us have problems with AVG and TAC, but another user states he has no such problem with the combo. /sch I would like to add my observation to this thread. I have a T60 and AVG Free installed on it. I've not o...

I use Atheros 802.11 b/g/n, which is also available through Lenovo.

Yes, but I can do that manually. I expected something better from this 'intelligent' program. Not sure what you expected. That's the way it's supposed to work! I don't believe you. Read it again. The charging is supposed to be done automatically without my intervention. Do you get it? To increase b...

Yes, but I can do that manually. I expected something better from this 'intelligent' program.

My battery info is displayed: To increase battery lifespan, you have set your battery to start charging when below 74% and to stop charging at 95%. 90W ac adapter is attached. It means that the battery doesn't get charged until it drops below 74% even if it is connected to the AC adapter, doesn't it...

After formating/deleting my 100GB hard drive before installing vista, it showed that the hard drive has only 88 GB. I'm assuming it's because of the hidden recovery thinkvantage partition. Is there anyway to get rid of that? Or is this normal and part of the hard drive raw settings? You can delete ...

Just to add some information about why the third antenna.....there are two big things that 802.11n (draft) has brought to the table to improve performance. .... ... Patrick Thank you for your comprehensive review on this matter. Although my T60 came with a 802.11n card, I am not sure I have three a...

Its unfortunate that my order shipped today. No chance in changing it now.

Yes, you were lied to, but I don't think it was intentional on their part. Some salespeople don't know about it. Maybe it is intentional.

when i refer to wanting to create the hidden partition, i would want to do it for this reason: I would like to have an IMAGE that has all the drivers already installed, with many patches included. Otherwise, when i need to wipe the drive and reinstall, it takes forever. Havn't you been upgrading th...

So you are saying as well that we dont need to change anything? Again, is there a way to create the hidden partition with an image of my new clean vista install? I do not know why you need to create the hidden partition with Vista. Once Vista is installed, you will never be able to go back to XP un...

Can you really erase the ServiceV001 partition? I understand the BIOS needs a key stored in that partition to authenticate and activate the BIOS so that the computer can boot.
