I'm using Registry First Aid also without any problems so far.


Gruss nach Deutschland.

thanks for your reply. That's exactly how everything is set-up. I also knew about the "first boot password" and so far I have swiped both fingers like 100 times and it's still asking me for the password.

Maybe I should re-install everything and try it again.

I'm experiencing some strange behavior with the power-on password on my T61. Everything is updated and I'm running the latest fingerprint software. Two fingerprints are authorized to replace the power-on password. Here comes the problem now. When I start my system the regular fingerprint power-on me...

I just received my new T61 and tried the 9 cell battery of my Z60m successfully. Works perfectly and saves me the money to buy a new battery.

I was just wondering whether somebody knows if the 6 cell or 9 cell battery for the Z series works also for the T61. As far as I know they should work with the T60 but I'm not sure if that's also the case for the T61. Thanks in advance.

I use VLC Player and Power DVD. VLC has also some setting where it's possible to improve the sound (even more that Power DVD and it's actually pretty loud on my Z60m) and the best thing is that it comes for free. Overall the speaker quality is not really that good especially when you think about the...

I had exactly the same experience quite some time ago. Dropped connections every 5 minutes, no connection at all (even right in front of the AP). All this was resolved when I changed the Intel card with the IBM Atheros one. Since then I always had and have a rock solid connection. Quite a frustratin...

I have Roboform working on my Z60m with the fingerprint reader in connection with CSS. I basically have only the master password saved in the CSS password manager and let Roboform do the rest. It works perfectly with Firefox (ThinkPad password manager never really did). The setup is a little bit com...

I've never tried VLC without DVD Region Killer but maybe I should give it a try. PowerDVD and probably other fancier media player definitely don't work without any additional software. In my opinion this entire process is absolutely absurd. I have a lot of European DVD which I bought some time ago a...

Check your CPU temperature with Mobile Meter or so. The Z series is known for some overheating problems which results in random shutdowns. I had the same with another laptop some time ago and it killed one HD. I have my Z60m now under control with NHC and some Arctic Silver thermal paste on the heat...

I'm using DVD Region Killer on my Z60m without any problems and the best thing is that the software is for free. I have Power DVD and VLC and it works so far pretty well.

I absolutely love my Z60m. However, there are a few negative things about it: - laptop is more on the heavier side (which doesn't bother me so much) - problems with overheating (can be controlled with NHC and Arctic Silver 5) - recent battery recall (at least mine was one of it) Otherwise it's a ver...

I finally got some of the Arctic Silver 5 at Radio Shack for $ 9.99. All I need now is to find some time to get this stuff on the CPU. I really hope I don't have to clean or remove anything before that. Is it better to remove the entire CPU ? I just did a regular backup yesterday and the temperature...

thanks trancemotions for the link. I will give this a shot. My local Radioshack carries some of this stuff for I think 9 dollars which is not so bad at all. How would you rate the difficulty level for the application, was is really hard to do ? Just asking because I haven't done something like that ...

Would love to see some detailed instructions on how to apply that thermal paste on a Z60m because I also have the same overheating problem. So far it is OK because I'm using NHC to keep the CPU down but it actually doesn't make sense when the laptop has a 2 GHz processor and you can't use its full p...

I have contacted my local lenovo dealer, as i'm interested in switching from my x41 to an z61t, i spoke to him about the titanium lid, and he explained me that the lid was in ABS plast, no matter which lid you choose, the titanium should after his saying just be painted silver.. Is this something t...

When first configuring the laptop, I remember being prompted for setting the cooling scenarios. It asked about what acceptable level of fan noise etc. - I can't find that set-up area now. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks. go to Power Manager and create a new profile. It will ask ...

Notebook Hardware Control shows that my Z60m is shutting down when there is a critical temperature of 98 degrees Celsius. It looks like it's a default setting you can't change but I might be wrong. I had the same experience with a previous laptop and it actually messed up my HD from the constant shu...

sounds like it's due to overheating, mine gets really warm too from time to time. You can check the CPU temperature with a small program called Mobile Meter at http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-Oakland/8259/ If that's really the case you might want to slow down the processor a little bit with...

Another option would be to increase the signal output of your router by downloading a third-party firmware, assumed you have a Linksys router (at least that's the only one I know of where it works).

I've never experienced any major trouble with FF 1.5 and I upgraded to the new 2.0 version when it came out. So far it works pretty well, except some of my old extensions don't work anymore.

There is an extension for scripts for FF, maybe you have that installed and it's causing the trouble.

I've used a program called Power Center for a long time, which worked pretty well. I don't have the file anymore but I did a Google search and found it at http://www.abyssunderground.co.uk/laptop-battery-extension.php (scroll down on the page) Just give it a try and let me know whether it worked out...

Thanks, I am giving region killer a try. Do you use it with the dvd soft that came preloaded with the Z60m? I'm using PowerDVD 6.0 and VLC and so far I didn't experience any trouble. Regarding the "loose" battery pack, you can always try some double sided tape, stick it on the battery and leave the...

You might want to try DVD Region Killer. Find it here http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Too ... ller.shtml or google for it.

It's free and and so far I didn't have any problems on my Z60m with the DVD Multi Burner. It's definetely worth a try.

Thanks a lot for the info, PDX, did the password manager work for you before you went to Firefox 2.0? I don't actually have 2.0 but I can't get password manager to activate within Firefox, I will edit the file and take a look. It was working with the 1.5 version also. The only thing is that the Ctr...

I totally forgot...

in the xpi archive you need to edit the file install.rdf

Make sure to make a backup file of the xpi file and edit that one. Locate the file tvtpwm_moz_xpi.xpi in c:\program files\lenovo\client security solution and open in with winzip (I use 7-Zip). Edit the file and look for <em:maxVersion>1.5+</em:maxVersion> Change 1.5+ to 2.0 and save it. Add the edit...

I just installed Firefox 2.0 today and noticed that the CSS 7.0 Password Manager extension is not compatible since it is limited to the 1.5 version. I made some changes to the extension and it is now working with Firefox 2.0. If anybody is interested I can post the procedure for the version upgrade.

Why not use the thinkvantage system update? It will update the bios without all the hassle of using the diskettes. tried it several times and doesn't work for me for some reason. So it looks like I have to use a bootable CD Rom because I don't want to spend like $ 50 for a USB Floppy drive which I ...

I had / have the same problem. If you have access to a laptop or desktop pc with a floppy disk drive it's actually pretty easy. You will need to run the Bios update (diskette version) on that computer and copy the files onto the floppy disk. Then use a cd burning software like Nero to create a boota...
