    You don't need onekey theatre. It is just a repackaged version of Dolby Home Theatre V4, which is a lot more customizeable:

    Dolby Home Theater v4 for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad S430 and Twist S230u

    (note that this works with any Ideapad/Thinkpad, worked on my Y410p without problems)

    Install Lenovo Power Management first, that should be the priority since it includes the hotkey drivers + smart battery control and overcharge protection.

    Then install the chipset, and graphics (Intel+Nvidia). Then everything else.
