    When will Lenovo release these drivers? and is there any ways i can get all the drivers on a disk which installs them on its own? because iv'e tried clean installing it and the Switch graphics never works.

    thanks

    When you say it never works that doesn't shed much light on what the problem may be.

    You can download Windows 7 Beta drivers one by one at the moment - which is the way I prefer my drivers anyway. But I guess they will release an updated version of the Updater soon, as Windows 7 is being released to everyone this week.

    If you really need switchable graphics before the updated Updater arrives, you will need to install it by hand. The Windows 7 version of the driver is on Lenovo website (search for drivers for your T500, or just go here). But you will also need a new version of Power Manager that works on Windows 7. That can be found on the Beta Drivers page. But you will need to install these running them by hand.
