ThinkVantage Away Manager

#1 Post by eTools » Fri Nov 10, 2006 2:43 pm

Just a quick question. Why is the Away Manager not supported by the T4x series?

Newer models = more features.

See following thread. Away manager has been used on models not listed as compatible. http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=18092

Another related question actually. If I have a T43 with Productivity Center and Away Manager installed, will I still receive updates for them from System Update?

System Update is lost sometimes

System Update sometimes looses the proper understanding of what is installed and what is not. My system got totally hosed by the now famous PC-Doctor 5 install.
I suggest you uninstall Productivity Center and Away Manager, and then reinstall them with System Update.

The thing is, System Update doesn't install those things for a T4x series laptop. I downloaded the package and then used Software Installer to install them.

I just need to know if System update will keep them updated. :-S
