    I am running Windows 7 professional x64 and I have installed the appropriate power manager software/driver and it even appears under programs in windows but I cannot get the application to actually open. Any suggestions?

    Correct, when I go to where the app is located, for some reason in the drivers folder and open any of the applications in the folder they do not open.

    new windows 7 power manager found here:

    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/license.do?filename=thinkvantage_en/6ju410ww.zip

    Edit: seems link link is dead (again...) Lenovo needs to fix these :mad:. Then again my internet is buggy...

    Try this link: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/WIN7-BETA.html

    scroll down to where it says "power manager" and download that file

    If that doesnt work, try launching the program under administrator. I've seen people uninstalling/reinstalling their .NET Framework 3.0. Go ahead and give that a try

    Installed by following that link, still no luck. Could you walk me through .NET I haven't been able to find any information about it for Windows 7?

    why does he need to install the sdk?

    and vista/7 has .net framework installed already. you don't have to install it again.

    I just remember reading it somewhere. Never said it would actually work
