the reason why im asking is because i finally figured out how to not create any problems . I've noticed many problems occur becuase thinkvantage update and windows update conflict, often resulting in multiple drivers being installed for the same hardware; i think that is the root of all problems related to thinkpads.

so i was curious about if anyone knows what these 'vista update modules' are...thanks
I believe stallen's vision for this thread was to allow users to clean install their systems without having to install the "unnecessary" Thinkvantage utilities, which in most cases, like the Power Manager utility, conflict with Vista itself. The Thinkvantage Systems Update would fall into that category if you are following this guide to a "t," and are manually installing all the utilities and drivers yourself through the Thinkpad driver matrix page.
