    I recently formatted and reinstalled vista. I downloaded only the necessary drivers from lenovos website, but a function that doesn't work is "the zooming in" (fn + space). What do I need to download to get this to work? (or maybe I've just overlooked turning it on, in that case: how do I turn it on?).

    Thanks in advance,

    Do all the other hotkeys work?

    Try re-installing (or install if you haven't) the hotkey drivers.

    If that doesn't work let me know.

    Good Luck!

    There is an option for screen magnification when you install the hotkey utility I think. The default on my reinstall was on, but you can turn it off. Try reinstalling the utility and checking the box.

    I tried reinstalling, and checking the box for screen magnification. However it still wont work. The only change from before is that when i hit fn+space the computer makes a sound but nothing happens. Maybe the screen magnification function isn't supported in windows vista?

    And, yes, every other hotkey works.
