X60 Vista Freezes during suspend/resume or docking/undocking

[johndoe]

I have a new X60. It has 64bit Vista Enterprise, and the latest drivers/updates. ( Thinkpad system update and Windows update say it has all the updates).

The X60 freezes numerous times during suspend/resume or docking/undocking. In addition, evey time PowerManager starts, it creates about 10 more powerplans, and the computer now shows 100s of power plans. (The power plan settings in control panel says the administrator has set some policy to control power settings).

Anyone else facing similiar poblems with X60? Any ideas of how to solve them.

Do you actually have an administrator setting policies? I believe this is the root of your problem. To me it sounds like you have a registry problem, that maybe causing you to run out of memory, due in part to the multiply power plans.

To clarify, I see a message in Vista power management screen "Some settings are managed by your system administrator". However, I do not know if this message appears even if admin has not specified any settings.

Something tells me that you should read up on User Access Control. There are probably better articles than the one below, but this is what I could find quickly.
