Solve : Thinkpad PM Device (driver)?

1.	Solve : Thinkpad PM Device (driver)?
Answer» Have a Thinkpad A21m, using windows XP, 512 MB of RAM. Was doing a driver update and found that the PM driver was OUTDATED. Download Lenovo PM driver file 7zku03ww.exe. which is V 1.51. RESTARTED the computer and it finds new hardware so do the automatically install command. GET the message after it starts installing that "There was a problem installing this software (Thinkpad PM device) System cannot find file specified. Rebooted and used the install from list or specific location which then I used the C:\Driver file and picked the download file WIN that has the driver. Got the same answer. Is there a fix for this? GuyIf you dont have important data you can use a system restore state to roll back maybe...or if you have important data you can back it up to a THUMB device or external drive or burn it to CD or DVD and then perform a roll back to a prior time when everything was happy before this driver update. Quote System cannot find file specified. Also which file could it not find? If you want to battle this out with the computer and win without having to restore to a prvious point we will need the file name that it is looking for to assist further.This means you have installed the wrong driver... If you can get to Device Manager right click the device and there should be an option to roll back to the previous driver, Good Luck.patio is right. Thinkpads are little bit tricky about installing drivers. First, you have to make SURE, you found correct download on Lenovo site. Then, when you double click on downloaded file, it only extracts itself into C:\drivers\win directory. When it extracts, you have to note to which folder in C:\drivers\win directory it expands. Then, you go to that directory, and you look for "setup.exe" file (it may be more, than one). Look into all sub-folders, as well. Double click on "setup.exe" to install the driver. Restart. What is PM driver, anyway?
