I have it disabled myself. I think a right click on a blank area of the taskbar brought up a menu. I then chose toolbars, and unchecked the toolbox toolbar. Yes, I already tried that. It makes it go away temporarily, but only until the next reboot. I found the following thread about this issue on t...

The system toolbox keeps cluttering up my taskbar with its huge useless icon. I don't want to uninstall it completely, just remove the icon. I can right-click the taskbar and unselect the toolbar, or I can go to the settings dialog from within the toolbox and uncheck "Show Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbo...

I can't speak to the Win 7 memory diagnostic, but memtest86+ has worked quite well for me in the past in identifying bad memory modules. If it doesn't find anything, I would feel pretty confident that there wasn't a problem with the RAM. How many passes did you run? I ran 3 passes of memtest86+ so ...

Hello everyone. Long time, no see: I was last on these forums about 5 years ago with my X60s, but that's finally ready to retire and now I have a new X220 4286-CTO. Lovely IPS screen and glad to see the red stripes back on the buttons again.... I have 8GB of RAM in my machine (4GB per slot). I teste...

Sorry for the delay -- I've been out of town for the last week. I'm planning on having a go at upgrading to the latest firmware revision this weekend, so I'll let you know how it goes and if it works I'll explain what I did.

I was able to upgrade my X60 HDD firmware without any optical drive at all, by using a USB memory stick. I had to unpack the Lenovo ISO and make some changes to it (it basically sets up a RAMdrive, loads up a DOS-mode CDROM driver (MSCDEX) and copies the files to the RAMdrive before executing them. ...

In the case of Apple, not only do they not give you the instructions you need, but the procedure for simple upgrades and repairs is anything but simple. For example, I will compare the procedure for upgrading/replacing the harddrive in the 12" powerbook G4 aluminium with the same procedure in a thi...

in fact, X60s is cooler I owned an X60s and it was the hottest laptop I had ever used. It's hard to imagine that the X60 can be even hotter! There must be some extreme variation in the warmth of X60s's in that case, because my X60s is far cooler than other laptops I have used (Inspiron 4100, Powerb...

Well this is breaking all the rules. There's not 10 of them, they aren't all rock and roll, they aren't all albums, I make no pretence at them being definitive (in the sense that "every music lover should own these" or anything like that, I just like them and they represent music I might enjoy at di...

So many things wrong with that list. A definitive 200 list that doesn't include any of velvet underground, ramones, pixies, zappa, beefheart, animals, kinks, janis joplin, nine inch nails, the cure, blondie, smiths, patti smith, clapton, new order, residents, neu, stooges, my bloody valentine, faust...

You can open up an ISO on windows using many programs, eg, UltraISO, WinImage, 7-Zip. All of those are either free or have free trial versions. Bootable CD's are made bootable by the extremely high-tech route of having the image of a bootable 1.44Mb floppy on them. You can extract that image with an...

LOL wow that was quite comprehensive yeah i was thinking of buying 2 charges but i just don't think that's something i wanted do to. yeah i convert nearly everything i have into electronic form i have too all i carry around it the x60s + charger and books(a bit difficult to scan everything) as for ...

[*] Since you're now at the point where you're communicating with a bare X60s board How about leaving the computer at home and at work and transfer files with a USB flash drive? That's what I do, between my Dell Inspiron 6000 at work and T60 plus Dell Dimension B110 desktop at home. I worry less ab...

If you do all of these, you'll save a bunch of weight, at the cost of a small amount of inconvenience. Remove the battery and just have a spare AC adapter available at each location you use the laptop. They're only $30 or so. Remove the fingerprint reader (after disabling it in BIOS) Remove the keyb...

Currently I have 60gb photo ipod and im using Shure E3c's on it and I know the earphones are in good shape and are smooth with the foam tips. The problem Im having is poor sound quality out of the ipod? Has anyone else experienced this and switched to another one or does anyone know any concrete fa...

What does task manager say your cpu usage is, during one whole 73sec/50sec cycle?

model 1705-44u x60s fan: on most of the time, when I'm usin the machine (I do mostly processor heavy stuff). Nearly always at very low speed, very quiet, if you want to know if it's on, it's easier to put hand near vent to feel for warmth than to listen for fan noise. At higher fan speeds (only unde...

I have a new x60 (core 2 duo) which won't go into standby on its own using the power scheme settings. These are set to 5 mins for standby and 20 minutes for hibernate while on battery. I can manually force standby by closing the lid, but then it doesn't go into hibernate after 20 minutes. I can als...

It was disabled but when enabling it there is a warning that the PC may come on and could damage the HDD if it's being moved at the time. Also that battery could drain if there is an event waiting for user interaction. Well, if you're swinging the laptop around in your bag, when it decides to come ...

i already have a boot/hdd password set, the problem is that even though i swipe my finger, its still prompting me to put in a password. It's supposed to ask you for the boot password the first time you use your fingerprint. Once you've successfully logged in this way once, subsequent times the fing...

BIOS: config -> power -> Timer wake w/Battery Operation -> Enabled
Helps?

lev: thank you for reply, but didnt solve it. Havent had the time for a system restore yet, but I'm just wondering out of curiosity: are csrss.exe and lsass.exe supposed to constantly access the harddrive (csrss.exe constantly reads, while lsass.exe both reads/writes). My work laptop didnt do this ...

RUSH2112 : Maybe 3 times in my life, all of them at least 10 years ago I heard such loud noises. They were LOUD -- the only reason I knew they were not real sounds was that had they been real, for sure there would be broken windows, pictures falling off the wall, etc :-) General stuff about the wei...

Maybe it's this?

I think the statement that confused me was this one: This would only work for ExpressCard/34 cards who use the only the USB 2.0 connection of ExpressCard, and not the PCI express x1 lane. So from your second post, I do now understand that both /34 and /54 had both USB and PCIe connections, and the ...

Wow ... that was a great explanation! So do I understand correctly that ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54 aren't actually electrically equivalent, and the /34 version (which is the only one available on the MacBooks) is significantly slower than the /54? You do not understand correctly. ExpressCard...

I remember when I bought my X60s back in Feb of last year, the catalog with the list of all the models and the features listed the X60 as having an ExpressCard via an adapter. Has such an adapter ever been released or can you simply just plug in an ExpressCard device? My understanding is that the c...

Does the wireless turn itself off if it cannot detect a network in the area? I upgraded to the Atheros card for improved performance and to hopefully get rid of the annoying auto-shutdown of the old card. The Atheros card has worked flawlessly, however now I notice it shuts itself off but there are...
