    Hi,

    Is anyone else using Windows 7 on a T60?

    Occasionally when I leave my machine for extended periods of time (i..e overnight) when i come back to it the brightness is stuck very very low and not able to be changed..

    this is not the case on any other win7 machine i have...

    anyone else seen this perhaps?

    regards

    chris

    I had the problem and got rid of it by uninstalling Power Manager.

    many people have this problem with T400 and X series laptops.

    uninstalling power manager has not worked for me...

    I did a clean install of widows 7 on my t61p. The brightness is controlled by the Home and End keys at the top right DO NOT work.
