    Anyone know why my ThinkVantage button no longer calls up the Productivity Center? Could this have been accidentally toggled off?

    The button definitely works (on boot, I can press it to call up the Recovery console). Just doesn't seem to work when the PC is on.

    Try uninstalling and reinstalling the productivity center and see what happens.

    Tried that. No luck.

    Ended up re-installing hotkeys and that seems to have worked.

    But I also have been disabling a number of Vista functions to increase efficiency so I have a feeling it could also have been connected to that.
