    Anyone have a copy of this?

    I just format my laptop with a clean Vista.I dont have any cd and I wanted to do a System Factory restore but nothing was there when i press the Vintage or blue button.Even with F11 i press i see only the startup boot option of VIsta nothing else.

    I did not see any partition.My uncle gave me the laptop because there was a problem i could not enter windows because expire date of windows and he did not activate.

    So i did a clean install but missing alot of driver even tho i download MOST of the important stuff from ibm website for t61 Lenovo Support - Drivers and software - ThinkPad T61, T61pand install everything.I still have like 6 (?) plus the graphic card missing.


    I think this is what i need
    | IBM ThinkPad T61 Windows Vista Driver CD Recovery Restore Disk 2451 | CD Disk Download | User Guides |


    Thanks alot for anyone who will help me

    Probably the easiest way for you to retrieve the missing drivers for your T61 is the Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update. This utility will scan your system for missing drivers and apps and will retrieve the latest drivers for you without any guesswork.

    As you're using Vista you need version 3.14, the link for this application is here. The application requires .NET Framework 1.1 or later to run, the link provided here is for version 3.5 which is backwards compatible.

    It would be ideal to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) if you can for security reasons (updated hotfixes, security updates etc.) as well as including some extra features from the original Vista release.

    To install Vista SP2 however you need Vista SP1 first, if you haven't got this installed you can either use Windows Update or download from the link provided ( 32 bit/ 64 bit).

    yes i have install sp1 and did all the updates and i have less yellow(!)
    i only have 2 now but when i check on my computer i do not see the memory card neither the SD card.

    I am at work now .NET Framework 1.1 requires me to be connectd to the internet in order to install something and i dont have access to wireless.

    Try the Intel Wireless Card Driver for your T61 ( Link) and install it on your system.

    If that doesn't work you can try the IBM/Lenovo wireless card driver instead. But generally T61's come equipped with the Intel Wireless cards most of the time.
