    Hello everyone.

    I was wondering if anyone knew a solution to my problem. My power manager function on the taskbar is only half functional. I can change the profiles, but I can't right click it and press "launch power manager", meaning I can't create new profiles or modify the existing ones.

    Using the ThinkVantage button doesn't work either, that is to say, to launch Power manager from there. Nothing happens when I try to do so. If I try so it says "an unsupported process was attempted" and reports a "host process (rundll32) has stopped working".

    So, should I just try to reinstall? Where would I do so?

    Thanks for any assistance you might be able to give!

    I would just uninstall it and then make sure to install the latest version.

    Very correct imo ... if you can get the system update software from Lenovo's site it will download everything that you might need. This is what I did. :)
