    I have a T500 with a 2GB Turbo memory card, I created a profile and put a few applications in there, total said like 400MB or so, now today it says that it is 100% full and has no open space left.

    When I open the profile it still only shows the few programs I loaded yesterday, but it says 100% full.

    I'm using Vista Business 32 bit.

    Anyone run into this before?

    You have to create a profile and put applications in for it to work? I have a T400 with Turbo and I thought it just does whatever in the background to speed things up :S

    Yup, created a new profile, put ~400 MB worth of stuff it in, now it says 100% full, and it says that I have like 1,7xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx GB worth of apps in there, I'm sure its a glitch but I re-loaded the drivers and it didn't help any.

    maybe the physical size of the applications is 400MB. the rest might be size during the run time. i think the page file for these apps will be on the turbo memory.

    not sure about this logic though

    try removing some apps and see how much of the turbo memory is used

    Nice machine specs you got there :cool:

    Good call on the page file.

    I had Windows Excel, Word, firefox, and a lenovo utility in there. I've since only left Word and Excel.

    We'll see how she does later tonight!

    And thanks.

    I had this problem with driver 1.9. Also, my computer would hard lock if it went to sleep when the hard drive was parked by active protection. Both problems were fixed by reverting to driver 1.8.1 from the lenovo website.
