Memory Question

I have a X61t and only had 1GB memory. A few months ago I added another 1GB and realized that I should have probably gotten 2. So, after these past few months, I ordered another 1GB...Oooops. Problem is, I needed to actually have ordered 2GB initially now that I know there was only 1 empty slot avai...

Fn symbol in task bar

I have just noticed a Fn symbol (blue lettering with gray background) in the shape of a key that is sitting in my taskbar. This has never before appeared. I also noticed that I cannot lock the taskbar..it continues to fade when I move the cursor off of it. Anyone know why I have this symbol suddenly...

No...There are none.

I have run a separate program, Security Task Manager, and found some really unusual programs running. But in answer to the question, there were none.

Screen fades to black and back again

I'm not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but recently, a few times, I'll be just typing on my x61T and all of the sudden, gradually, my screen will fade to dark, much darker than just reducing the backlighting. It's almost 100% black, except I can just make out the background. All of the sudd...

When you click right click, you always need to select "Properties" in Windows XP or "Personalize" in Windows Vista to access the options you're mentioning.

Screen Options Not Working

The basic function of right clicking on the screen to get display options does not seem to be working properly. When I right click the screen, the only option I am given is Display Properties. I can no longer select resolution, screen savers, etc. Does anyone know what would cause this to happen?

No the tablet models use a different style battery. I'm not sure that is entirely true. I have the x61T and a co worker of mine had that battery that fits UNDER the system, almost like the Ultra Bay, and adds 2 hours on top of the 8 Cell that he had. It's the one that you can connect to the laptop ...

a) What model do you have? x60t? Or x61t? The former one, as far as I know, might not be able to combine 1+2 GB modules asymmetrically. I.e., then you won't get dual channel. b) pc-5300 is good enough, but in some cases you won't get maximum performance combining modules with different timings. dif...
