So I upgraded to Window 7 pro 64bit tonight and install all the drivers currently available.

HD Active Protection driver is not working for me and I specifically downloaded the 64 bit win 7 version. It said install was a success, but once I rebooted, i dont see any Active protection icon usually shows up.... Anyone else having the same issue?

As well, System Update 4 is not working for me... it will show the System Update 4 banner and nothing else....

My win7 experience is not as smooth as other have experience~~

Active Protection is working. Go into your start menu and launch the application. By default on Windows 7, AP does not display the tray icon in the corner. In the application there is a check box you have to check to get this to display.

As for System Update, Lenovo just put it on the site and the retrieval location for drivers may not be up yet. I've been following the site all day and every few hours more and more drivers are being posted. Hang in there.
