    I just installed Windows 7 on my r61 and I can't get the scrolling function for my trackpad and trackpoint to work. I've tried looking for drivers online but I couldn't find them. This website http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-67856.html has drivers for the mouse/trackpad, but none for Win 7. Can anyone help me out?

    If you click on any of the Vista mouse/trackpad driver links on that website page you will see that they have all been updated to support Windows 7. I think Lenovo is still updating the matrix pages to match what is actually available.

    I had the same problem after I installed Win 7 Professional 64bit on my Thinkpad T400. I got it to work after installing the Thinkpad Ultranav driver...

    Hargo is correct. You could also install the new System Update 4.0 software from Lenovo, which will help you find and install all the latest drivers and software for Windows 7.

    My T61p has been noticably bad off as far as the terminal driver is concerned. I was hoping someone had a fix.
