New Thinkpad T61p Question\Problem?

[Siddhartha]

I have a three week old T61p. For some reason when using WinAmp, I can not control the application using the S, X, C and B keys but it will respond to the up, down, left, and right arrow keys.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I looked at Lenovo's website but could find nothing.

Any help will be appreciated

TIA

I just completed Lenovo's keyboard diagnostic application and the keyboard is functional.

I am looking on Winamp's website for a solution.

Apparently it is a problem with NView.

What's NView?

IIRC, it is a part of the nvidia display drivers.

Yeah I'd say it's not a problem with the ThinkPad, but a software issue relating to WinAmp. Ask them...

Which skin & theme are you using?

 

[Siddhartha]

I fixed the problem by using a plugin I down loaded off the Winamp website.

I am using the Classic skin.

Great find! I have the T40. I think it may be time for me to upgrade. :Q

As a current IBM employee, let me warn you against that. The T60 was one of the first laptops produced by Lenovo, and right away, our consultants began having widespread BSOD issues. The T61's were no exception.

I'm actually using a T40 right now, and I refused an upgrade to a T6x from my manager for the reasons mentioned above.
