    question for ibm thinkpad users

    I'm fairly new with all this stuff. I was wondering if it was possible for someone to run msconfig and list all the startup entries and define what they are for? I have so many things under startup and I have no idea whether I need them or not. Thanks

    T41p defective again!

    I am convinced that the problems you are experiencing have to do with IBMs preloaded software that somehow interferes with Win XP. Could you try click on My computer or control panel and confirm that they don't respond. Then kill them from task manager. After this, startup PC doctor but...

    Replacement t41p arrived help with battery mode processor speed

    Hey that's good to hear you don't have the same problems with the icons. I had the same problems and I RMA'd mine back today and will hopefully receive a replacement in a couple of weeks. I really think the problem with the icons had to do with conflicts with IBMs own installed software...

    3 problems with t41p

    I called IBM technical help and as expected they couldn't help at all. I tried reformatting to factory conditions, but the same problem persists. Clicking on My computer or control panel just causes the computer to hang. My model is also 2373geu. I'm going to return it and tell them to send...

    3 problems with t41p

    Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. Because I think otherwise, the notebook is just great. I got a 3dmark03 score of 2541 with nothing optimized, which I was quite happy with. I hope I don't have to return it, and wait for a new one, because I can't really wait that long without a notebook...

    3 problems with t41p

    Hi: For the most part I'm very happy with my new t41p. However, there are a few annoyances. 1) There are apparently 3 dead pixels. On a white screen they appear as pink pixels. The are in the 3 corners and I only noticed them after looking very carefully. They don't bother me that much...

    Best Centrino Laptop

    Is that confirmed now? They will be out in Feb? Is the only real difference with the Dothan, besides the smaller processor, going to be the 2MB L2 cache? I imagine they are going to be really expensive to start off. Does this mean in Feb, that the t41p price will drop drastically?

    Help with t41p

    Did you not get the on-site warranty? Maybe you should consider getting that so they will just come to you to fix it?

    Help deciding which of these two IBMs to get.

    Thanks for the input everyone. I'm still not sure what to do. I get the bad feeling that as soon as I buy the $3000 notebook, they are going to drastically reduce prices. Especially when ATI 9600 becomes the norm in the upcoming months.
