The graphics card is an ATI FireGL 5250.

I have a 2 GB stick of ram in the remaining good slot so I'm only 1 GB short of the max, but like you said, I want my computer to be fully functional if at all possible.

A few weeks ago, my T60p started crashing and blue screening frequently, so I took it to a repair shop to get it checked out. After testing all the hardware on the laptop, the repair guy told me that lower slot for the ram is broken. He said that it has something to do with the graphics card being s...

My T60p makes a barely audible beeping sound when I'm wearing headphones. It's a *very* quiet series of 7 beeps every 5 seconds or so (Not the extremely loud beep when you push 3 buttons at the same time). Furthermore, I can only hear it when I'm wearing my etymotic er6i in-ear heaphones -- I can't ...

I am having trouble with the proxy settings in Windows Vista. Over the winter holidays, I was at a friend's house whos internet connection required a proxy server. Now, I am back home and I can't make the proxy settings stay off. I go to the Control Panel and choose Internet Options -> Connections -...

@gator: Thanks for the tip! Uninstalling Client Security Solution made a huge difference.

@Pascal: How can I make it so that only the ATI drivers load? I never mess with the settings in CCC anyways -- can I just uninstall the program?

I'm wondering how long it takes other people to start up their machines. I recently tried using Registry First Aid to clean my registry, and it seems like my machine is taking much longer to boot up now. It takes about 1 minute from power on to get to the windows login screen, and then another 3.5-4...

Found it ... If anyone else wants to disable the password manager, try going to C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution and double clicking css_pwmgr_toggle.exe. Edit: Or just click on Client Security Solution in your ThinkVantage folder. Um, I can't find either of those. Where else could ...

If anyone else wants to disable the password manager, try going to C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution and double clicking css_pwmgr_toggle.exe.

Edit: Or just click on Client Security Solution in your ThinkVantage folder.

Is there any way to disable the password manger besides completely uninstalling it? I can right click the system tray icon and exit, but it just starts up again when the computer restarts. I can't find anywhere in preferences where I can disable it. Also, what features, if any, would I be losing bes...

I deleted the partition containing the OS backup files (I purchased recovery CDs), but now when I press F11 at startup I get an 'Error Loading Operating System' message because (I think) the predesktop area doesn't exist anymore. Is there any way to remove this F11 function? I realize I can simply j...

carbon_unit: Thanks very much for your help. I have one question though -- I disabled the predesktop area, but where do I go to see the hidden partition now? As far as I can tell, the disk still look the same when I go into my computer. rbi: To clone my old hard drive, I used acronis true image. Whe...

I recently installed a new hard drive on my T60p by cloning my old drive onto an external hard drive. However, now I can't seem to remove the partition on the external drive. I go into computer management -> disk management, and it shows the drive as having 98 GB as a healthy, active primary partiti...

Whenever I try to backup my hard drive, I get a message saying that there isn't enough room in C:/RRbackup. The hard drive is a 100 GB drive that I installed myself. Out of around 88 GB of total available space (the rest is taken up by the recovery software I think) there's about 18 GB of free space...

I'm having an issue with the sound on my T60p. Sometimes when I start a new sound (e.g. start a new song on Windows Media Player, or start up a game) I hear static. I hear the static regardless of which headphones, speakers, etc I'm listening through. The strange part is that if I switch to a differ...

hmm never heard of this issue before - the sound on my T60 is a little low at full volume but never any static or noise in it - when i've had this problem with desktops it was invariably something to do with noise usually around the motherboard... Its funny you should say that, because there's actu...

When I have headphones plugged into my T60p and I have nothing playing, I can hear a *very* faint beeping sound in the background. I have a nice pair of Shure headphones, so I sometimes hear things that I normally wouldn't wearing a different pair of headphones, but either way the sound is starting ...

I recently purchased a new hard drive for my T60p, and I was wondering how I should go about installing and transferring files to the new drive. I realize one option is to clone the old drive, and then copy it onto the new one. But is it possible to start from scratch and reinstall all the original ...

Hello all, I recently ordered a Thinkpad t60p, but after doing a bit more research, I'm considering changing my order... any opinions on the matter would be greatly appreciated. I'm not too technologically competent, and pretty much all I know about notebooks comes from reading these and other forum...
