Hi guys

I just installed Windows Vista on my T60. Now I have a problem to make my hotkeys work, it is the keys for "mute", "+/- volume" and most important my blue ThinkVantage button.
I've searched everywhere on lenovo.com, but cant find it anywhere?

Another problem, is that I don't know how to activate my wireless without using the blue ThinkVantage button.
I've only had my T60 for 2 months and don't know much about how it works.

It's a T60 2007-QPG

Please help..

Best Regards

Look for the drivers here. Find the hotkey utility for your model.

You need the following:
Lenovo System Interface driver
ACPI Power Management driver (Power Manager is different - for the battery)
Hotkey Utility driver
Wireless Driver from Lenovo

I don't know if you have the widescreen T60 or not, so I will post both links.

Regular: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... 62928.html

Generally you need to run the download to extract the driver to your hard drive, then run setup.exe to install the driver. Check the installation instructions for details.

ThinkVantage System Update can do this for you automatically. Haven't used this new version myself.

EDIT: For turning Wireless on and off, press Fn+F5 (but I believe you need the above drivers for this to work)
