    I bought an X60 in March, and also got the Express Upgrade to Vista in that time. However, it's been giving me compatibility issues ever since, and I called Lenovo support and they asked me to take a look at this webpage. (And for those of you wondering, their support is actually quite good.)
    Anyways, if you read that page you'll see that I failed to uninstall most of those programs. Ooops.
    Could there be any solution to this? I was thinking, perhaps I could roll back the OS or install a pirated one in the computer, delete the files and upgrade to Vista again? Any help would be appreciated!

    If you want a working version of Vista, why not just use the link in my sig to do a clean install. It'll work.

    No, sorry, I didn't mean that the OS isn't working. I meant that it just keeps bombarding me with its "Program Compatibility Assistant." It's just really annoying. Thanks anyways.
