Not to put yourself in a position for potential harm to your system, but did you happen to check whether or not the install process caused any problems?

Well I un-installed the previous version first, then installed this one, my un-installs appear to all be there, but then I didn't have a problem with the previous one either. This version on my computer is just about twice the size of the previous version. As I recall the previous version was 59 MB or so. But then I'm also running the 2.01 ROM, again without any apparent problems.

It seems that by now Lenovo has dissabled de PC-Doctor 5 update page... the link is down.

What could have happened? new bugs found? No fixed version posted? Why are people trying to solve problems in the rush, with such a wrong outcome? What is it happening with those pundits?

Some malicious attitude virus from microsoft (remember all vista delays, IE7 malfunction, wrong solutions from Richmond...) has attacked everybody in the IT industry?

It is time for those boys to wake up and start doing things well... or all of us are going to loose time and money trying to fix those problems. Be cautious with Vista, PC-Doc and all the new software... meanwhile old goodfaith Windows XP, Office 2003 and Internet explorer 6 will be my favorite applications, until service pack 2 for new software be released... that will be in about 2 years...

Well as I write this the link is still valid for me. I've gone through the pages and I'm offered the program again. Perhaps the page was down, but it's back up now.

Nope DAH, it doesn´t work for me, it lets me in until I agree with the download, and then oops! the white page, link missing... what am I doing wrong?

When you agree try selecting HTTP instead of the standard FTP.

What happens if you go here: http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/

Then at the top of the page under Lenovo click Support & Downloads.

On the next page enter 2613 at enter a product number.

Choose the T60p (bottom choice) on this page,

In the second box click on Downloads and drivers

It should be the fourth item listed on this page, click on it. (that should be the page I gave)
pcd5setup_4329.exe

Can you get it going that way, if not can you download the BIOS from the first item on the previous page?

I'm wondering if they have a problem with your location, or if there is a cookie that you are missing? Going the above way should fix a cookie problem if that's it.

DAH

Well my friends, the thing worked using the HTTP suggested by Marlin, thanks a lot guys. This Community really works. By the way I am so happy with my new lappy... (excellent screen and keyboard... against all odds!)
