Have a brand new T60, wiped the Vista off and installed XP Pro. Now, whenever the user removes from port replicator, OR when the unit wakes up from sleep mode, the Keyboard and touch pad are unresponsive. Problem usually goes away after reboot.

HELP!

The issue on the XP install is probably missing or old Power Management and UltraNav drivers. I had this same issue with a clean build and that was the problem. Reinstalling Power Management and UltraNav fixed it.

I do have an issue on another machine where the keyboard randonmly stops working, it has the power management and ultranav updates but it still happens. That is not related to sleeping, hibernating or undocking though.

I've noticed this same issue recently. It doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes, rebuilding the computer solves it. I have noticed warning messages in event viewer about the parallel port driver not loading, or something to that effect. As a result, I believe it's causing a conflict with touchpad, keyboard, thinkstick. And since the T60's got rid of the parallel port, it is still "enabled" in the bios. Even though I haven't yet found anything conclusive, here are a few suggestions:

disable the parallel port from the bios
disable the parallel port driver (hidden device)
uninstall the parallel port driver
resolve the conflict, if any.
