    I also have this problem on my sl500 with the gpu drivers for vista 64bit. Lenovo needs to get its act together. you should try going directly to intel for drivers.

    Thanks a bunch for that fix lowspeed. In preparation for my tablet's arrival, I have been downloading ALL the files available for my particular model, just to avoid future downtime scenarios like this (whether temporary or permanent), and little did I expect to run into dead links from the beginning! The Intel Matrix Storage Driver download page for Vista 64-bit also has broken links, so should it not be obvious to anyone else, the tail end of that FTP URL lowspeed posted can presumably be modified for pointing to any driver files (.exe, .txt, etc). For instance:

    The Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit) - ThinkPad (7zio64ww.exe) can be downloaded from: The README for Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit) - ThinkPad (7zio64ww.exe) can be downloaded from: And the README for Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver for Windows Vista (32-bit) - ThinkPad (7zim64ww.txt) can be downloaded from: Novablade, just to test this hypothesis, I went looking for your GPU driver, and while you will have to confirm whether I browsed to your particular model, here are the FTP alternatives (however, all the hyperlinks on the download page proper are working for me):

    The Display (NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS) driver and Audio driver (NVIDIA HDMI Audio) for Windows Vista 64-bit - ThinkPad SL300, SL400 and SL500 can be downloaded from: And the associated README can be downloaded from: The Intel Display Driver for Windows Vista 64 bit - ThinkPad SL300, SL400 and SL500 can be downloaded from: And the associated README can be downloaded from:
