Power Manager

The Power Manager program provides convenient, flexible, and complete power management for your computer. It enables you to adjust your computer power settings to achieve the best balance between performance and power saving.

Recovery Media

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

Rescue and Recovery

The 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.

SimpleTap

The SimpleTap program provides you with a quick way to customize some basic computer settings such as muting the speakers, adjusting the volume, locking the computer operating system, launching a program, opening a Web page, opening a file, and so on. You also can use the SimpleTap program to access the Lenovo App Shop, from which you can download various applications and computer software.

To start the SimpleTap program in a quick way, do any of the following:

•Click the red SimpleTap launch point on the desktop. The red launch point is available on the desktop after you have launched the SimpleTap program for the first time.

•Press the black button if your keyboard has one.

Note: The SimpleTap program is only available on certain models preinstalled with the Windows 7 operating system. If your Windows 7 model is not preinstalled with the SimpleTap program, you can download it from http://www.lenovo.com/support.

System Update

The System Update program helps you keep the software on your computer up-to-date by downloading and installing software packages (ThinkVantage programs, device drivers, UEFI BIOS updates, and other third party applications).
