T40 issues after reformat

#1 Post by Nerf Ned » Fri Jul 15, 2005 2:09 am

Hi, bit a noob here....

i reformatted my t40 and loaded XP, however i have some problems:

1. The graphics on the screen are not as good as before
2. Nothing happens when I press "Fn" + F5, as before this is how i turned on wi fi and bluetooth
3. The "Access IBM" folder is missing from the start bar under programs

I think i may have stuffed up here - can anyone help??

much appreciated is anticipation :)

I think basically all your issues stem from the fact its a clean install of XP, and none of the IBM software is loaded.

Have a look here:

cwestwater is correct, these TPs require special drivers that will not be included with XP. You will just have to download the individual drivers.
