Product Recovery

The Product Recovery program enables you to restore the contents of the hard disk drive to the factory default settings.

ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery

The ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery® program is a one button recovery and restore solution that includes a set of self-recovery tools to help you diagnose computer problems, get help, and recover from system crashes, even if you cannot start the Windows operating system.

Password Manager

The Password Manager program automatically captures and fills in authentication information for Windows applications and Web sites.

Note: The Password Manager program is only available on computers preinstalled with the Windows 7 operating system from Lenovo.

ThinkVantage Client Security Solution

The ThinkVantage Client Security Solution (CSS) program helps you protect your information, including vital security information like passwords, encryption keys, and electronic credentials, while guarding against unauthorized user access to data.

Note: The ThinkVantage Client Security Solution program is only available on computers preinstalled with the Windows Vista operating system or the Windows XP operating system from Lenovo.

Power Manager

The Power Manager program provides convenient, flexible, and complete power management for your ThinkCentre® computer. By using the Power Manager program, you can adjust your power settings to achieve the best balance between system performance and power saving.

ThinkVantage System Update

The ThinkVantage System Update (TVSU) program helps you keep the software on your computer up-to-date by downloading and installing software packages (ThinkVantage applications, device drivers, BIOS updates, and other third party applications). Some examples of software that you should keep updated are programs provided by Lenovo, such as the Rescue and Recovery program and the ThinkVantage Productivity Center program.

Fingerprint Software

The integrated fingerprint reader provided on some keyboards works with the Fingerprint Software program to enable you to enroll your fingerprint and associate it with your Windows password. As a result, fingerprint authentication can replace your password and enable simple and secure user access. A fingerprint reader keyboard is available with certain computers or can be purchased for computers that support this option.

Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox

The Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program helps you maintain your computer, improve computing security, diagnose computer problems, get familiar with the innovative technologies provided by Lenovo, and get more information about your computer. For more information, see “Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox” on page 60.

PC-Doctor for Rescue and Recovery

The PC-Doctor for Rescue and Recovery diagnostic program is preinstalled on your ThinkCentre computer as part of the Rescue and Recovery workspace to help you diagnose hardware problems. It can also report operating-system-controlled settings that interfere with the correct operation of your system. Use the PC-Doctor for Rescue and Recovery diagnostic program if you are unable to start the Windows operating system. For more information, see “PC-Doctor for Rescue and Recovery” on page 60.
