Thinkvantage tool to update software

#1 Post by phil81uk » Fri Feb 20, 2009 2:59 am

Hello,

Since Vista came out I've been using an almost clean Vista install, without all the Thinkvantage tools and other factory installed software. However, I do remember that there was a Think Vantage tool which updates all the drivers on the machine. I looked on the lenovo site and I cannot find it.

Does anyone know which tool I am talking about and what it is called?

Also, can it be set so that it only updates those drivers/componants that I want?

Thank you.

Please also note that there are a few reports that SU doesn´t manage to do what it is expected to... Manually installing updates from Lenovo website is always the best way IMO. However, you can use SU to see if newe updates are available.
