    It goes like this .



    when I first receive my t61 there was a vista installation and turbo me worked. I downgraded to XP and then I didn't use turbomem.



    about half a year ago I tried running windows 7 beta and one of the turbo memory drivers worked but didn't operate the Readyboost or ready drive but only I was able to see the IMD-0 in the disk management so I mounted the IMD as a drive and run manually the ready boost on that drive.



    I installed a newer version of windows 7 (Build 7600) and I tried that newer turbo mem drivers and the older drivers nothing works !

    When I install the driver my comp crashed because ianvstor. That happens everytime IM trying to install the driver.



    I tried installing vista SP2 and the same thing happens. I think my turbo mem chip is burned or something.



    I also tried to replace hard drives and it didn't works.

    it's really annoying that I have a component on the computer which I payed for it and it doesn't work.

    i really hope this forum can help me to solve the problem.



    i was going throw all the posts in google about turbo mem and none of them have my problem which I can't even install the driver.

    thanks in advance.

    Generally, the solution has been not to run turbo because of questionable peformance gains.

    Yes, just don't install the driver and disable Turbo Memory in the BIOS if possible.
