You could try a re-install and see if that solves the problem - Otherwise I am pretty blank

Pick the ones for Windows 7

Or write your serial number in the little window on the right side of the page and then pick your OS to be Windows 7

Me neither - I don't think I even kept it long enough to see the arrival of SP1, but nice to hear that it has gotten so much better

Yes I did a fresh install of both

Just got my new SyncMaster monitor from Samsung - looks great with my T61P and has a nice crisp picture

Firefox 4.0 Beta 12 - Been hanging on the Firefox court since version 3. Never let me down, it is by far the best

I am no tech genius, so I'v been thinking about - why is it that Vista was so INCREDIBLY slow and resource demanding, compared to Windows 7, XP etc.?

When I changed from Vista to Win 7 back when my machine was stock, it got A LOT faster - what did Microsoft do wrong in Vista?

Looks like it's still in a pretty decent state Hehe..funny to see the really old school docking station!

If you have the Core Duo, stick with 32-bit as there really nis no need for you to install the 64 bit as you cant benefit from the extra RAM available

To stick to topic thuur, I agree with FredGarvin - dump it, it's not worth the trouble

Run the System Update utility on your Thinkpad if you don't have it you can download it here

Just choose the one for your OS

I hope this can help you

It could not be something as simple as if your friends changed some security settings /and or other settings on their router? - I tried that a few times, and it was a lil tricky to get it to work with Access Connections :? But you could also try to run system update and see if you're on the latest d...

Thank you very much for your replies I'm no super technician, so I exscuse if I ask some silly questions - but thanks again haha

Thanks for the short and precise answer! Will my old standard 100 gig hitachi harddrive fit into the adapter and and then just be ready to mount it in the bay? : )

Hello! I have a 128 GB SSD as my "main harddrive" - I am now looking to get a second harddrive to insert into the Ultrabay, I just need some advise on: * What parts do i need to make a harddrive fit into the Ultrabay? (Which HDD, adapter and so on) * Can it be done easily at home? I hope you can und...

I like my fingerscanner , because you just swipe your finger and hey presto you're logged in - same on websites, plus I think it gives a good security for my computer, when I have it with me to several different networks and locations.

Thanks for all the replies !

I have chosen to upgrade to 64 bit and I am impressed! that extra RAM really speeds things up and I haven't had any problems so far with any Lenovo drivers or various programs! It is great!

I see - I have a 2 Gig RAM card for my TP so i could go from one 2 gig together with a 1 gig - and just get 2 with 2 gigs on each

Hey all Thinkpadders! I have to decide wheither to keep running my Win7 ultimate 32-bit or to get the Win7 ultimate 64-bit. So I use my T61p to play a few games, Battlefield 2 - a mod for BF2, Portal and a few other Steam games if I feel like installing them. Other than that I use it to surf, Live m...

Looks like it is in good shape - congratulations on the purchase

Hey Thinkpadders!


I am wondering about what freeware programs you guys are using on your Thinkpads/3000's ?

I use Ccleaner and Defraggler. Anyone with any good recommendations, or just some fun and/or useful freeware programs?

Hehe! Yes it's just a small one I won in a Taekwondo championship
And yeah I'm REALLY pleased with this Thinkpad, I had a T61 before this and it was great - but this T61p with better performance is really the best computer I've had. powerful portable and extremely reliable /durable

Thanks !

Hey all! I am new on the forums, so I thought I would show my Thinkpad "home" setup



Nothing amazing - but some decent Bose speakers
