Product Recovery
This program enables you to create recovery media to restore the contents of the system drive or hard disk
drive to the same state as when the computer was originally shipped from the factory.
For information about how to open and use this program, refer to “Creating and using recovery media” on
page 107.
Presentation Director
Presentation Director is a display configuration utility that enables you to give presentations conveniently. It
also enables you to create and manage the display schemes. However, by default, Presentation Director has
some predefined presentation schemes. You can apply them to your presentation with no need to set up a
new scheme. To apply a presentation scheme, you can also use the Fn + F7 key combination.
To open Presentation Director, click Start ➙ All Programs ➙ ThinkVantage ➙ Presentation Director.
Note: If your computer is a Windows 7 model, Presentation Director is not supported because the Windows
7 operating system handles the external displays instead.
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.
