    I just did a clean install 64-bit Windows 7 Business. I was reading one of the older guides, and it tells me I should install System Interface Driver first. I can't seem to find it anywhere on the Lenovo website.

    I began installing other drivers first (such as graphics, wireless etc.) I hope this won't be a problem!

    Does anyone know what the deal is with System Interface Driver?

    Thanks

    It's fine, the System Interface driver is what's used to power the Hotkeys on your Lenovo. Not sure myself why it would be the very first driver needed as like you, the graphics and connectivity are usually the drivers that need priority first long before the system interface driver.

    Even so, without hotkeys integration the functions will still work but it be without the indicators on screen to tell you what you doing. So I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    The system interface driver is in the hot keys install package.

    Thanks. I installed the hot key package last, but it's installed. Everything is working fine now, except the card reader slot. I'm not sure which driver to install for that.
