    I uninstalled and reinstalled the Power Manager (T61 described in signature) and after restarting, the thinkvantage button, the function keys combos (like fn+f3 for power manager, fn+f8 for pointer options), and the onscreen display (for volume changing, keyboard light toggle, etc) all stopped working.

    I tried uninstalling the Power Manager and reinstalling it, as well as reinstalling the Thinkpad Hotkey driver, both to no avail.

    Any help?

    EDIT: ISSUE RESOLVED, DISREGARD.
