Windows 7 drivers

[Jshakour]

Are the windows 7 drivers out yet? And If so, when I fire up System Update all I get is Vista updates (b/c I upgraded) and obviously those wont install.

That's just weird. System Update should see the OS installed. How do you know they are Vista drivers?

[Jshakour]

well I dont want to say all are Vista drivers, some are Vista KB updates and some look like Vista Gigabit Network Connection for Windows Vista.

but at any rate they do not install.

Ok, I think you are talking about 'Windows Update'. Install Thinkvantage 'System Update' 4.0 and run it.
