    I've recently installed the Windows 7 RC 64-bit on my X200 and am having a few issues I'm hoping some of you could help solve.

    1. I frequently get the "display driver has stopped responding" and recovered message
    2. The OSD will not show the brightness indicator although adjusting it does work
    3. In XP it was possible to turn down video hardware acceleration through the display properties. I understand from Vista this requires some support from the video card driver but the option is grayed out. Any way to adjust it or disable the adapter without a restart?
    4. Occasionally on startup I get some error about the bluetooth service not starting...have the ThinkPad BT w/ EDR 2.1 driver from the Lenovo site installed.

    Currently on the latest video driver from Intel for Vista. Appreciate the help... ;)

    Have you installed the motherboard drivers which were supplied with your notebook?

    If that's the Intel chipset driver yes it's installed.

    Same here with W7 RC 32. Also gaming graphics seems out of the question now. (WoW was running well in Vista and not at all in W7).

    I believe I have the prerelease 1.1 drivers... Might need to revert back to vista =(
