I was all set to do a system recovery from the hard drive partition (not a big deal, I have done it plenty of times) Had everything backed up and was ready to go. I first tried start/recovery manager/recovery manager. My computer went through the motions, but never started by itself. I waited for a long time and finally shut it off and...

The installed driver/software is Intellitype 6.1. How...

The subject line has been my life's misery for the past 3 days trying to get my Lenovo T60 to recognize the Zune Music Player. I have tried - reinstalling the software, uninstalling the USB Hubs, spent hours on the phone being a tennis ball in a grand slam between Zune Helpline, Microsoft Helpline and the Lenovo/ IBM helpline with each passing the buck/ blame to the other. The device and...

I've looked everywhere I possibly can to find any registry or driver fix and nothing.
