Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear in my post. My initial attempt at installing failed with an error that I wasn't using the right model (it actually was a more broad error message, saying that I wasn't even using a lenovo). Windows 7, in all its brilliance, recognized that something was up and asked if I ...

Has anyone been able to get the veriface software to work on a Windows 7 lenovo laptop, on which the software did not come preinstalled? I have an X61 running Windows 7 and successfully installed the veriface software. I enrolled my face and checked the box to skip the windows logon and go right to ...

I assume at least some of you are aware of the high pitched whining problem that lenovo (and presumably other laptops) are plagued with. From what I understand, there are ways to "fix" it by tweaking the power settings (mainly via the processor state settings). All of a sudden my X200 has been makin...

I'm having a strange problem. It's one that I've had previously (1-2 years ago) on my Thinkpad, but a different model (X61 I believe) and different OS (Vista). This problem does not always occur, and I haven't been able to pick out a pattern that explains when it occurs. The problem (when it occurs)...

Okay. I installed the AMT drivers and that fixed the problem with the PCI Simple Communications Controller.

No luck with the PCI Serial Port...

No. I ordered the downgraded version of the built-in media reader specifically because I did not want the modem. The port is covered.

I'm running Windows 7 Professional on an X200. The two items in the subject line are coming up in Device Manager as not having drivers installed for them. I thought I had installed all of the drivers from Lenovo's download. What am I missing?

Thanks!

Just installed Win 7 Pro. Everything is fine. Just can't seem to figure out why the on screen volume display isn't showing. I'm guess it's a driver I need to install? Or is there a setting somewhere? Thanks!

All set. Found this post: http://www.thinkpads.com/forum/viewtopi ... =6&t=29379

Found a thick piece of paper in there.

Can you point me to a source with instructions on removing the key without damaging it?

All of a sudden, the spacebar on my keyboard is experiencing a slight case of jamming. Oddly, it seems that only the left half of the space bar is experiencing this issue. The left side feels "stuck," and unless I press down harder than usual when using the left half, it does not function. Any thoug...

I have a Thinkpad X200 and am purchasing a VGA cable so that I can output video from the laptop to my LCD. I see that there are different types of VGA cables I can purchase (e.g., SVGA, XVGA, UVGA, etc.). Assuming my LCD TV can handle the highest output that my Thinkpad can provide, which cable shou...

Not sure if this is well-known or not, but I went through a bit of trouble figuring out how to install the Client Security Solution on Windows 7 and then getting the Password Manager to work with Firefox 3 with fingerprint authentication for websites. Hope this helps someone. How to install Client S...

Has anyone successfully installed the Client Security Solution on Windows 7? I'm using x200 with Win 7 64bit. Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

I have a few questions about drivers that I'm considering installing on my x200 with Windows 7. 1. I'm using an Intel X25M SSD 160GB HD. What are the Intel AMT 4.2 LMS&SOL and Intel AMT 4.2 MEI drivers? Should I install them? 2. Do I need to install the Fingerprint drivers? The fingerprint reader is...

I just booted from an XP install CD and got bluescreeen error after it finished loading setup files. I've also booted into DOS and tried formatting the drive to no avail. This doesn't look good... Is there some type of setting I need to change on the drive? Did my multiple "un-provisions" mess somet...

Did you do it that way because you ran into the same problems I'm describing or for another reason?

I’m going a little crazy right now and hoping that someone can help me out. I just purchased a new Lenovo x200 laptop and an Intel 160GB X-25M SSD. I put the new hard drive in the laptop and booted from the Windows 7 DVD that I burned. Everything is fine until I get to the “Where do you want to inst...

Thanks all. I decided to go with the Waterfield. Didn't get any snazzy addons. Just the vertical version. I thought about the strap, but what good is the strap without being able to carry the power cord? And then I discovered the piggyback, but for $22 + $15, it doesn't make economic sense. My backp...

I'm looking for suggestions on a good sleeve case for the x200 with 9cell battery (it sticks out a bit). I had a Shinza for my x61 and loved it. Doesn't look like they make an x200 model.

Thanks!

I just got a new x200 with Vista Home and would like to do a clean install of Windows 7 RC. Looking for some tips before doing so. What's the best way to go about doing this? Should I format the HD and then boot from the Windows 7 DVD? Is it OK to just extract the ISO and do a clean install from wit...

Great. Thanks so much for the advice. I have an optical drive, but only CDRW, no DVD burner. Is this still doable? I don't mind if it means more blank CDs. Also, I realize that by not using the factory-installed HD, the HD I purchased won't be covered under Lenovo's warranty plan. Is that something ...

Hi, I'm purchasing a Lenovo X200 and would like to swap out the factory-installed drive with one that I am purchasing elsewhere. What is the best way to get the factory installed OS and other software/drivers from the HD that the laptop will be shipped with, to the new HD I'll be buying. I don't kno...

How would I go about getting the OS and preinstalled drivers/software from the factory drive onto the SSD? Also, if I go this route, can you give a few recommendations for an SSD drive around 128GB? Is the Samsung the best bang for the buck? Will it just pop right into the slot or is there another p...

Well, I guess I'd like to know the differences between the the SSD options. One is significantly more expensive than the other. What is so much better about the Intel drive than the lenovo (which I presume is Samsung)? Also, does it make more sense for me to get the crappiest drive offered and then ...

I'm in the market for the Lenovo x200 and wanted to get some feedback from the more-informed community about storage options. I have a general understanding of SSD v. HDD, but wanted to get more information on which option is best. As indicated in the title, the three options I'm considering are: (1...

Hi All, My x61 just started doing this. It's happened three times now. Laptop will randomly go to sleep when it's plugged in on the docking station. If i try to bring it out of sleep mode, it brings me to logon screen (normal) but i can't even get half my password in before it goes back to sleep. Th...

the max. resolution i seem to be able to use on my x61 (type 7675) is 1024 x 768. Is this really the best resolution available? Is there anything i can do to set it at anything better?

thanks!

thanks. 2 more questions.

what's the difference between analog and digital and can i use this module with my docking station? thanks!
