X61T in Windows 7

[Zuke]

Hey guys!

I have the RTM of Windows 7 x64 on the system in my sig. I've been able to get everything running pretty well and am really happy with both the tablet and the OS. The only thing I haven't been able to get work yet is the buttons right under the screen; rotate, toolbox, escape, and the D-pad. I've installed all button apps and drivers I can find in compatibility mode, but nothing seems to work. The Tablet Button Menu app works, and gives me the option to disable the buttons, but nothing to enable them in the first place.

I know the buttons work because I just recently had Ubuntu on the machine and was able to assign actions to each of them. The D-Pad even worked out of the box! Any suggestions?

Zuke:

You need these Windows 7 Beta drivers from Lenovo to get the buttons on the bezel beneath the screen to work:
System Interface Driver
Tablet Button Driver *be sure to use the 64-bit version

Neither of these need to be installed in any kind of compatibility mode.

Wow, not sure how I managed to miss the whole Windows 7 area! I'll try those out. Thank you!

[Zuke]

Thanks! It all works like a charm now! I stuck with the Penabled drivers directly from Wacom's site, as well as the biometric stuff directly from Upek. Other than those two, I was able to get everything else from that link you gave me! Thanks again!

Glad that worked out for you. I did not install any Wacom drivers; the native Win 7 OS supported the pen just fine, and the UPEK fingerprint driver was automatically installed by Windows Update.

About one in every 50 times that a fingerprint login is attempted, the reader fails to do anything. After typing a password to log into Windows, if the Windows Biometric Service is restarted, the reader starts working again. That bug has been present in the Beta and RC versions of Windows 7 (maybe because the UPEK driver has not been updated)?
