    Hello everyone, I just received my laptop yesterday and absolutely love it.

    Anyway, I reinstalled windows 7 and all is well but I noticed after installing the keyboard hotkey driver/software that whenever I press the volume up and down button it doesnt show the status but it does adjust the volume. Any ideas guys?

    Get the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox (well it was something similar)? I had the same issue when I did a fresh install of Windows 7 on my T61.

    Then why not choose the ThinkVantage productivity center (download here)?

    I found the link on the T420 Driver Matrix (T420 came out more than 2 years after Windows 7 (what do you think?)).
