UltraNav *Driver* Missing on T61 Page

#1 Post by micrex22 » Thu May 25, 2023 10:42 pm

I was banging my head with this UltraNav problem as the "7vgq14ww.exe" driver listed here does nothing as it's the UltraNav utility and not the actual driver:
https://thinkpads.com/support/Thinkpad- ... m/T61.html

What you need is actually "6hgx81ww.exe" instead, which I had to find from this random sketchy site instead:
https://www.driversforlenovo.com/update ... pdate.html

Note: "7vgq14ww.exe" extracts itself as "UNAVUTIL" and "6hgx81ww.exe" extracts itself as "UNAV". It's also possible you need both, but "UNAV" is the primary one.

So yeah, if you're looking to install the UltraNav on a T61 you'll need to find the missing driver that's not on that page, elsewhere.

The drivers pages aren't perfect, but they're a great backup as Lenovo has EOL'd these old models and finding drivers for them is a bit of a PITA.

This Ultranav (Synaptics) and Ultranav 2 (Alps) driver from the R61 page should work for the T61.

Yeah it's ultimately Lenovo's fault for retiring those pages and everyone having to scramble and cobble up mirrored repos that aren't always 100%.

Just for fun I also tried the "ThinkVantage System Update 3.16"; when it connected to Lenovo's servers (through Windows Vista, lol) it reported that there are no packages available because they turfed them from the System Update server as well.
