Hi,

I have Thinkpad T60 2613-EAU with Windows 8 installed. My notebook is configured oneself. Processor Intel T7200, 2x 2GB RAM (3GB usable due to chipset limitation). Windows 8 Pro - 32 bit installed. I have problem that after installing Lenovo Hotkey features driver nothing on scrren is visible - sound, brightness, Led lamp etc. Lenovo at ist driver site says - Windows 8 capable. All drivers are from Microsoft via update, ATI radeon X1400 I was download from Microsoft catalogue site.

Any idea for help me? With Windows 8 64bit - same problem.

This is a Windows 8 problem, NOT a T60 problem!

When you say Hotkeys, I assume you mean both the brightness/sound with the display bars on the screen, and the Fn key combinations?

These all work on my T60 / Win8, except Fn+F8 that only takes me to the general mouse properties box and not the Lenovo Ultra-Nav menu. I however think I installed most of the drivers and system software in various compatibility modes, Win7, Vista and XP SP3. A couple of them were labeled to be Win8 compatible, but I think even one of these refused to install properly unless I did it in compatibility mode. So no exact clues to help you out here, but at least you know that it is possible to make it all work.

I also saved all the files I downloaded. So I can email my Hotkey driver file to you in case there is an issue that something has changed since I downloaded my drivers. But it's only 3 weeks ago, so I doubt that is the case.

Try an older version of Hotkey Features. See following post for more info.

I have not found a way to get Fn + F3, Fn + f4 to work on mine (T61). The rest work properly including the On-screen display.

As far as I can tell, there is no W8 Power Manager available from Lenovo still. Only a Power Manager Driver. Am I correct on this or am I missing something?

I don't think the T60 supports W8. W8 sounds like a complete disaster. Aight.

My T60 is running W8 with all functions working (Power Manager, Hotkeys.....) and no issues whatsoever. Very fast boot-time (15-20secs) and crisp performance. At last Microsoft made something usable.....

Well, just today I did the stupid thing of going into "System Update". There was 3 important updates available, Thinkpad Hotkey integration driver (version 3.84.1500.0), Lenovo Patch Utility and Active protection system. I ticked the two first ones, since I use SSD, I do not need the last one.
So I installed the two. I do not think, that the "Patch utility" did any harm, but the update of the Hotkey driver made my OSD not working Fortunately, I made a restore point prior to this update, so I implemented this and now the Hotkey functions are working again
So in other words, the last Hotkey driver do not seem to work under Win8, I believe, that the former one (which is working fine) was the one for Win7.

Yes that's true for the OSD, at least for all the "pre-Windows 8" era ThinkPads. I posted a link to the older version of the hotkey features driver above.

Actually, the older version is not necessary if you install the latest version by changing its setup.exe file to Windows 7 compatibility.
At least it works well on my x220.

The original thread was on a T60. An X220 being a much newer machine is likely to have fewer problems with W8, or at least easier to fix.

Hi.
Yes. Only older hotkeys and osd software version 3.81 works.
