I have not found R+R to be flexible in choosing the "source" of the backup. For me, R+R seems to only see and acknowledge backups that were created on that machine and not prior to any change in the backup destination preferences. I created a backup to a USB drive, then I changed my preferences to u...

Mine is not tight - sounds like something is mis-aligned. It certainly wasn't designed to be so tough to use. On the other hand- my SD card memory slot has an issue where I have to really yank on the card to get it out - goes in easy, but something is catching on the way out. Haven't decided if its ...

Regarding making bad recovery disks, when I made my set, it took a good long time to create them, and I noticed that it did a full verify after burning the contents. Presumably this is to prevent a bad burn...

Lenovo Welcome startup script

My new X61 Tablet runs at startup what looks like a batch file from Lenovo. It starts with c:\swtoools\Lenovowelcome>icacls.exe ... then proceeds to process a bunch of files including Application logger.dll, Createlink.exe, Install.cmd, Interop.IWshRuntimeLibrary.dll, Lenovoregistration.exe... and s...

You can buy a very inexpensive USB powered light to clip on your screen when you need it. I have one, works fine, though I wish someone would make a "flood" version. It seems with all these small lights that they are very bright in one spot, and your eyes adjust to that spot, making the rest hard to...

Wow that was fast-

I ordered a new x61t last Saturday, along with a spare battery and ps. The spare battery and ps shipped from HK on the 4th and arrived on the 5th! The x61 shipped from Shanhai on the 5th and arrived on the 7th. So, ordered Saturday and received it less than a week later on Friday. :lol: Nice work, L...

I had the same problem after adding a GB of memory to my XP SP2 machine. Turned out that it was a somewhat rare but known issue at Microsoft, and they had a hotfix for it. I remember having to call them and ask for a link to the hotfix. Worked right away and all has been fine, since. A quick google ...

Tablet users- disable trackpoint necessary?

When in slate mode and using my pen, the back of the screen hits the trackpoint and causes the mouse to jump, Inking is interrupted. This happens all the time. I removed the eraser head on the trackpoint and the problem went away. I am wondering if others have this issue? Any ideas on how to automat...

Got this from the UPS tracking page - I wonder what it means... shipped from Shanghai, looks like it arrived in KY, then put on hold, then something else shipped from Shanghai... The extra battery and power supply I ordered shipped from HK and arrived here the next day - amazing. I was hoping the co...

So I ordered a new X61t with 2GB RAM on a single chip. My thought was that I would add another 2 GB later, when I find an inexpensive one, for a total of 4GB. If the system can only use 3 GB, then I can probably find an inexpensive 1GB quick. I also read that dual-channel memory access is faster, so...

X61 tablet inking-- Jumping Cursor

Hello, new Lenovo user here. Great forum! I have recently started using an X61 multi-touch tablet, after having a few Tablets over the years, HP TC1000, TC1100, and recently an HP 2710p and this X61t. I must say I am enjoying the speed of the X61t... So, to the problem: I find that when I rotate the...
