Upgraded T61 XP Pro to Win7U, Thinkvantage button not workin

#1 Post by cubensis » Fri Sep 30, 2011 6:10 am

I finally upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and I think I downloaded all the correct drivers but my Thinkvantage button does not work. Also in Windows 7 is the same "sidebar" feature that you got in XP when you pressed the Thinkvantage button still available?

Unfortunately, as far as I know, that old ThinkVantage bar is gone for Windows 7. I had Windows 7 on my T61p and that way ot worked out for me was that the blue button would open the ThinkVantage Toolbox.

on my t60 it wasn't working before but there's an auto update in thinkvantage toolbox that scans your laptop and downloads everything you kinda need.

the FN keys are showing up like screen brightness shows up on the screen when I click it and the thinkvantage works too all the extra buttons lenovo provided worked

How did you do that exactly? I have the Thinkvantage Toolbox installed.
edit: Is it this?

I click on this and it leads me to a page but the software is for Vista not 7.
