Have an OLD R52 that still works quite well (except for a wonky CD drive). Recently I got it out and updated Windows and the anti-virus just to have a spare in case anything happened to my W520. It's a model 1849 running XP.
When I press the blue Access IBM button it goes into Access IBM (not ThinkVantage), just like it always did. But when I try and update drivers, it tries to go to a website www.pc.ibm.com that no longer works.
I looked on the Lenovo website and couldn't see anything about updating Access IBM to ThinkVantage, and I don't really want to start updating drivers without knowing what I'm doing.
Does anybody know if Lenovo has quit supporting Access IBM and the R-series?

I believe it is registered to a key in the registry , I can't remember what I used but I mapped mine to be a lock key

Re: R52 and Access IBM Not Updating Question
All drivers have been relocated to Lenovo servers.
Those old IBM links are now dead.
You need to install the latest SystemUpdate for XP: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloa ... MIGR-66956
