This quesion is a follow-up to a two-part question I previously had. It's in regards to my On Screen Display settings on my Lenovo T61.
I recently reformatted my Lenovo T61 and put Windows 7 Professional on it. I backed up the original Vista driver installers that were at C:\SWTOOLS\ so even though I didn't use them for Windows 7, I have them just in case. I had quite a bit of trouble getting my On Screen Display to show me my volume adjustments. I read a forum post at Lenovo and basically discovered there are several programs that need to be executed to turn the OSD on. They are:
- c:\drivers\win\hotkey\osd\lvosdsvc.exe
- c:\drivers\win\hotkey\osd\tponscr.exe
- c:\drivers\win\hotkey\osd\tposdsvc.exe
So I added shortcuts to these three exe's into my startup folder and my up/down volume issue was fixed. But then I realized the mute OSD and the mute button itself doesn't work. So I'm wondering how I can get the mute button to work. I believe I've download the correct OSD driver from Lenovo so I'm a bit stumped on the mute button — it worked in Vista!
To re-iterate, I have all of the original Vista drivers that came with the machine so if there's a specific Lenovo utility I need to install, I can most likely do it. I just need to know what to install or what utility I may not be running.

You need to install the Lenovo System Interface Driver for Windows7, Vista and XP - Notebooks,
I have a T61P with the same video card and was experiencing the exact same symptoms. The System Interface Driver fixed everything.
