T61 Thinkvantage Button not working + other problems
I just received my T61 with XP this morning. I created the recovery disk and installed my other programs. My ThinkVantage button was working originally, but now when I press it, nothing happens. Have I inadvertently done something to disable it? How do I fix it? FWIW, the Thinkvantage Productivity Center does not seem to open now, either.
Secondly, when I initially log on to Windows each time, I get a message indicating that Access Connections is being used by another user. I am the only user I set up in Windows, so this one baffles me, too. I don't have any problem connecting to my wireless or wired home network though.
Any help would be appreciated!!
