I have an old T41p machine and I wonder if I can get the ThinkVantage software suite just like those new machines. Say, I don't have 'power manager' etc. Also, I'm having trouble using 'system update' utility. It always tells me that it can't connect to server.

Anyone has any idea?

I assume you mean a T41p. Yup, just go to the IBM/Lenovo support site and download then run the software installer; it should take it from there.

What type of service do you use to connect to the internet?

Maybe dial up?

Done this. The software installer doesn't seem to pick up the program I want..

Then you can download it from the Support site; as far as I know, everything you can get from the Software Installer you can download manually. If it doesn't pick it up, it means that it is either a manual-install only or not supported for that model.

Click on the T43 link to get more ThinkVantage software, but you use at your own risk. Some users report success using software made for the newer ThinkPads on older models.
