Thinkpads Forum

Thinkpad Update said that there was a new video driver available, so I told it to go ahead and install it. When I restarted the machine, I got a blue screen of death.

Fortunately, when I asked for the last known good configuration on the next restart, the machine came back up. However, it seems clear that Thinkpad Update steered me to an inappropriate video driver.

I believe that http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... 62841.html is the correct driver for my machine. Fortunately, installing that driver by hand seems to have solved the problem.

This happened to me as well.

Software updater reports that package 8.383.1.1.3-070621a2-050878C-Lenovo while the linked page reports 8.383.1.1.3-070621a2-0508

Not sure what the difference is but it's clear that the former from the software installer gave my T60 indigestion (the blue screen noted an ati-something-or-other file)

I run those drivers with any issue. I only install the driver itself, not the Catalyst Control Center.

Me too! My display just went "CRAZY" and I didn't revert back to last "known good" but just elected to roll-back driver in the device manager since the only error I seemed to get was "The driver etc is not applicable to your OS etc etc.

Do/should I want to uninstall the CCC and use the newer driver that the machine rejected the first time? I ran the update manager after I rolled it back and sure enough it mentions a new driver and CCC for the X1300 and my machine again/still!

I'm certainly open for suggestions.
