    Discovered when doing a clean install of Vista 64 that the applications found in C:\SWTOOLS\APPS on earlier Thinkpads have been split into two directories on my T500 Vista 32 factory preload.

    Subdirectories for five applications including Roxio Creator were in C:\Program Files\MLPS\apps.

    You can't download applications such as Roxio Creator or WinDVD.
