    Greetings all!

    I just installed Vista 64 on an old X61. I have installed a bunch of little files from the lenovo site, but still the blue Thinkvantage button doesn't work. Is there a large motherfile somewhere that I have missed - a file that contains all the good stuff that is covered by the Thinkvantage button?

    Thanks in advance!

    I think you need this application to get the Blue Thinkvantage button working under Vista.

    I think that Hearst is right. And Vista? Really? You cant install W7? Or better Linux which i think runs great on X61 exept when you need some specific win app..

    Yes, thats it! Thanks! :)

    You take what you have - in my case, a Vista sticker at the bottom of the laptop. One of these days I'll try Linux, I promise :)
