    Hi everyone,

    I recently downgraded my lenovo t61 latptop from windows vista to windows xp professional.
    And of course, all of the drivers were messed up.
    I re installed the System Update, Ran it, and installed the required updates and optional updates, but the hotkeys still do not work.

    I downloaded the hotkey Drivers.
    When i run it, It only shows the On screen display, and a on screen zoom or something.

    But theres nothing about hotkeys.
    I can't activate my bluetooth because of this.

    I read arkitekts guide, but i could not find a solution.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Did you follow his guide from beginning to end? What do you mean by system update? Windows update? Try installing the XP drivers and utilities first, then do the update (if it's the windows update).

    Yes i did it from beginning to end.
    By system update i mean thinkpad system update.

    How do i find that in the system update? When it runs, it automatically searches for things that i need.

    It should just show up under system update. Does your onscreen display work?
