    Hi all,
    I have a T61 with windows XP which operated OK for more than a year. Today, several things disappeared:

    (1) When pressing Fn(Home) or Fn(End), brightness changes but the bar that showed brighytness level does not appear.
    (2) Audio does not work. Pressing the Audio circular Mute button does not seem to cause anything, and the usual audio bar does not appear.
    (3) Pressing Fn(F5) does not bring up the wireless on/off options window.

    It doesn't seem to be any one specific bad driver but a all bunch of things. Any ideas would be appreciated.
