    Well everything on my T61p has been working pretty good so far. However I am still trying to get used to Vista. I am not sure if my problem is related to Vista or possibly something with the Thinkvantage software.

    My problem is that if I leave my laptop alone for 1 minute without touching any keys or the touchpad my laptop locks itself. It is really annoying when I am trying to write a paper and I have to sign in 50 times. -_- I have looked everywhere in the control panel but I haven't been able to find anything. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Is this a screen saver issue? On my R60 it doesn't ask for a password after it turns off and I resume.

    Well I checked in the power options again. I made sure I unchecked require a password on wakeup. I also unchecked this option in the screensaver options. I dunno why it is doing this. I guess I will look more tomorrow. :p
