    Hello,

    I'd like to try out the previous nVidia drivers for the T61P (driver version 7.15.11.0145) released from Lenovo but obviously only the latest seem to be available from Lenovo site. Unfortunately I also do not have a CD/DVD from Lenovo with drivers (usually those on drivers CD/DVD are often old) ...

    Would anyone be so kind as to post those drivers (version 7.15.11.0145) somewhere (like on rapidshare) so that I may download them?

    Any alternative ideas/suggestions are more than welcome.

    Thanks.

    Maybe you can try a driver roll-back.

    1. Start -> Right-Click Computer, select properties.
    2. On the left-hand side select Device Manager.
    3. Locate the "Display adapters" and click, and select your video card, and double-click.
    4. Select the driver tab, and hit roll back driver.

    Hopefully, this should bring you to your previously installed nVidia drivers, that worked.

    Rolling back takes me to the Microsoft SVGA drivers. They work fine, apart the fact that they don't take advantage of the video card onboard. I was looking for something a little bit better than base drivers.

    Thanks.
