    I have a X61s. I formated the hard drive using the command prompt option while installing Vista Ultimate. The drive only has 70gig out of 80gig avaliable after formatting so I assume the Lenovo softwares are still on the 10gig space difference.

    Now with Vista Ultimate installed, the function + brighter/darker display, mouse, sleep, lock, up/down volume, mute...etc doesn't work anymore. The function + led light and NmLk still works though.

    How do I restore the fuctions to the function buttons/combos?

    Thanks,

    my laptop didn't come with a recovery/driver CD and I can't seem to find the hot key driver on lenovo.com though.
