But I guess I wouldnt do that anyway since Vista is really bad bad OS. So I have to cope with Win7 somehow, all the things I have to do work properly, except USB 2.0 support which due to some BS with chipset aint working faster than USB 1.1 which suxx with 8GB usb drive. But hey, I got win7 for free since I am student so I guess I shouldnt be bitchin :D I really wonder why IBM/Lenovo aint supporting 40/50's series anymore.. those CPU are remarkable due to underclocking options, their performance is great for singlecore, chasis and build quality still rule... when I sum it up, my T40 is 7 years old now, it is still better than all those netbooks and cheap lowend notebooks available nowadays :D well in last 2 weeks I have tried to run almost everything I could run on T40.. starting with XP pro SP2/SP3 (which worked ok for almost 2years but then the mighty BSOD-reign started), Win7 Pro 32bit, Ubuntu series (8.10, 9.10) Linux, DOS :D

With 1.5GB RAM and SSD and little bit of tweaking, Vista works like a charm.

BUT: still cant play videos in fullscreen (eg youtube), makes em distorted; FnF3 combo to shutdown LCD is not working... Basicly same result as with DNA-ATI drivers which I have tried previously, this setup however so far seems to be more stable. Anyway thx :D Thanks for this :)

Just run those two commands from command line - make sure you run it as administrator, otherwise you get error.

Some sites wrote DDISABLE, some DISABLE, I used the first one and got it working, so it seems like it has no effect at all. I changed it to DISABLE as it seems to be the correct parameter. Thanks! Glad it works for you.

Your solution worked for my old laptop from "clevo"!!! Thank you very much! I didn't get error for adapter in step 6, though. The "aero" still does not function, but I can choose it in "Personalize". Once again - thank you!!! Mickey hi, mart!
