ThinkVantage blue button inoperative

[ftw13lurch]

Anyone  know  why  my  blue  button  may've  stopped  working?  T61p,  installed  Win7  64  recently.  Ran  system  update  and  everything  was  fine.  Had  this  with  my  W500  too,  but  my  volume  and  mute  buttons  stopped  working  then, whereas  they're  all  operational  on  the  T61p.  Seem  to  recall  uninstalling/reinstalling  Power  Manager  &  driver  on  the  newer  machine  to  fix,  but  makes  no  difference  on  this  one.  Blue  button  still  good  for  interrupting  start-up.  Anyone  got  a  clue...?

The ThinkVantage button was used by Lenovo Thinkvantage Toolbox, but this tool has been withdrawn.

T6* - and its "brothers" can use it with the ThinkVantage productivity center

Hi Fellas,

Thought I'd better draw a line under this one... tried the link tendered by parmardilan: found that, unfortunately, I'd already tried that one to no avail. From what I can make of it, I think Mornsgrans's put his finger on it - the button remains inoperative, and impervious to System Update, 'çause ther's no longer anything from Lenovo to occupy it.

Thanks for taking the time.
