Preinstalled Software on T43 2668

#1 Post by jessep28 » Thu Jan 29, 2009 10:31 am

I have an IBM T43, Type 2668. I just purchased factory restore CD’s from IBM and reimaged the machine. The previous owner reimaged using their own ghost copy which deleted the service partition and didn't install quite a few drivers. In addition, I was running into abnormal boot up and shutdown lags on a very clean copy of XPP.

With regards to the preinstalled software, there is a lot of it seems to run in the background. Are there any preinstalled services I can safely delete or disable?

Thanks,

Jesse

Welcome to the Forum, Jesse!

As to what IBM-applications you want to delete, that of course depends of which you need :wink: so for a star I suggest you see the following threads, as they are all discussing this issue: New Thinkpad: What is YOUR must load software? Must delete? and Thinkpad for my parents! and especially from this post and onwards, and finally T42 w/fresh Win XP SP2; which Microsoft .NET version needed?. You may also want to try search this forum for e.g. "preinstalled software removal", "unnecessary applications" or "remove ThinkVantage programs" or "bloatware" etc. etc.

Thanks for the links & keyword suggestions. I performed a couple searches but wasn't using the right search terms.
