I went to shut it down and hibernate and the option was gone. I went looking for it in IBM power management and everytime I turned it on and applied the changes it would uncheck it. I have upgraded bios and tried several other things suggested by big blue's web site but no help. Still running 512 ram and nothing major added to system. Please help if you can.

I checked out the device manager, called support, and reinstalled the driver. Now it works perfectly! I'm so glad I didn't have to buy a new stylus. Thanks again! Kate Thanks so much!

What exactly did support have you do to try and figure out what the problem is? You might want to try replacing the stylus tip with a new one. Your tablet should have come with a few extra ones. Otherwise, you might check and make sure the tablet driver is running. Right click on "My Computer", select properties. Go to the 'Hardware' tab and then click on "Device Manager". Now look under 'Human Interface Devices' and see if the item "Wacom Penabled HID Minidriver" has a little red 'X' through it. If it does, you might need to reinstall that driver. Call support to help you through it. Another option, short of buying a new stylus, is to take your tablet to a best buy or similar computer store and borrow a stylus from one of the demo tablets. It shouldn't matter if the brand is the same, they all use the same tablet technology (except the touch-screen ones of course). If a new stylus works, I would make Lenovo give you a new stylus - one day old is as good as DOA in my opinion - they should give you a new one. Best of luck. Let me know if any of these options work for you. What a bummer! What exactly did support have you do to try and figure out what the problem is?

I'm not as good with computers as you, but I've gone through all of the tech support things with no luck. The screen suddenly stopped responding to the stylus last night, and I just got the computer yesterday. I'm a little disappointed with the immediate breaking of the pen. Do you have any suggestions? Is there any way I can fix it wothout buying a new stylus? Thanks so much! -Kate I have a Lenovo X41 tablet as well, and I’ve just had a major problem with it.

It is possible to do that, but you'll have to use IE, which I don't necessarily recommend. You have to use the program "client security passoword manager" to create profiles for each website. If you can't find the program, you might have to update your security sub-system to get it. Be sure to decrypt all your encrypted files before you do that, otherwise they'll be locked forever. I haven't personally messed with it very much, so that's all I really know. Once you find that program, I'm sure it'll be pretty straight forward. Good luck. Thanks so much.

I have a questions though, can set up the fingerprint system to be be used for all your password needs, (i.e. Hotmail, msn messenger, Gmail and all that) no more passwords just swip your finger and you are logged on? Thx Hey,

I have a T43 right now and the only purpose I may use it for besides the typical productivity work is to watch movies. Aside from the screen difference, will I noticed anything else? Like would the quality be worse or the sound? Hey, I was wondering if you could answer this question for me since I am looking to buy a X41 as well.

That's great that you got yours so fast - it seems a lot of Lenovo's shipments are getting stuck in customs lately. Let me know if you have any questions about loading it up. :) I’m so glad I could help Greg.
