General FAQs

Upgrade to Vista Ultimate

My X61T was shipped with Windows Vista Business. I had since upgraded to SP1 through Windows Update. I did an in-place upgrade to Window Vista Ultimate SP1 by doing an upgrade install. After doing that I had issues with Auto Rotate, and the Touch Screen Calibration. After installing the Lenovo drivers below, Auto Rotate and the Touch Screen Calibration are working again.

Tools for Diagnosing & Controlling Processess

• Autoruns

This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

• Startup Control Panel

• Process Explorer
  Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.
  The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you'll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you'll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.
