    I did a clean install on my Z61M. Everything works, except there are a bunch of exclamation marks next to the "bread and butter" devices like networking, wireless, USB. Right now I have no connectivity. The ThinkVantage System Update software won't even install. What drivers do I need to download so that I can get online (wireless) and use Auto System Update to fix the rest? Thanks!

    If you saved the IBMtools folder which you should have, the WiFi card driver would be in there. Alternatively, you can download it from Lenovo's website. Once you have Internet access, system update should work.

    Hi, am hoping someone could help me.

    Put a fresh install of windows on a z61m. However, as posted by the OP, I could not find the drivers for some of the basic hardware.

    Tried the link ZaZ provided, which takes me to the Lenovo Resource center. I could not find any updates or IBM tools available for download.

    Hope someone could assist.

    Thanks!
