    Hey guys,

    Just did a clean install of my T400 on Vista Business 32-bit. Everything is flawless EXCEPT the Thinkpad Power Manager Application, not the drivers. Every time I actually open the app the computer becomes sluggish and the computer starts to hiccup, it shows that PWMUI.exe is using approx. 40MB of memory and is taking up 40-50% of my CPU. I never had this problem with my factory install and I've noticed that it doesn't come with an EnergyStar profile like on the T400, I've installed '7vu426ww' from August 5, 2008 which should be the right one but is there a better choice?

    Thanks!
