- The system doesn't start when CMOS data is incorrect or the CMOS backup battery is discharged.
- The serial and parallel ports can't be disabled by the Device Manager in Windows 95.
- If hard disk password is set and when the system resumes normal operation from suspend mode, the mouse cursor appears before the hard disk password icon is displayed.
- The serial or parallel port data communication is sometimes broken, or the modem/fax communication can't be established correctly.
- "Will not suspend even if LCD is closed" option doesn't work when the Enhanced Video is enabled.
- In Windows 95, the system can't go into suspend mode when 'Standard' option is selected in the power management setting of <My Computer>-<Control Panel>-<Power Management>.
- (Test menu in Easy-Setup) 051-30 and 051-50 occurs intermittently (Enhanced Video test error).
- (Test menu in Easy-Setup) 009-03 occurs intermittently (System Board test error).
1.20
- (New) Support for ThinkPad 760L and 760LD.
- (New) A new Windows 95 PnP (Plug and Play) ID is assigned for the Infrared features.
- When an IBM Mini Mouse is attached, the keyboard may be locked.
- If the hard disk or diskette drive is disabled in the Windows 95 Device Manager, the resource will be still in use (will not be free).
- When an Adaptec 1542CP SCSI card (with PnP (Plug and Play) and FDC (Floppy Disk Controller) enabled) is inserted in the IBM Dock-II, the system can not be booted in Windows 95.
- The system with some Europe preload models hangs intermittently in Windows 95.

- (Test menu in Easy-Setup) When any test is done in the Easy-Setup Test Menu, the HDD timer is set to 0 minute (disabled).
1.22
- (Fix) (Model 760C, 760CD only) On Windows 95, the system hangs when next two conditions meet.
1. The IBM Ethernet PC Card is inserted and configured to use I/O address 0120-013Fh (default setting)
2. The AC adapter is attached or detached to the ThinkPad or the system goes into suspend mode (by Fn+F4 keys).
- (Fix) On Windows 95, the system hangs when it is left alone for a few hours without AC adapter (i.e. at the battery operation mode).
1.23
- (Fix) Suspend-resume operation intermittently results in an unexpected unstable status, only when several conditions and timing meet.
1.24
- (Fix) A small amount (8KB) of data could be overwritten and lost under the following circumstances:
= Hibernation is Enabled.
=There is data present on the last cylinder of the Hard Disk Drive. This Is the last area on the drive to be used, but may contain user data if the drive has been full or contains very large files.
= The ThinkPad actually enters Hibernation mode by pressing Fn-F12 or by customized power management options.
NOTE:
+ The problem does not occur when creating the Hibernation file.
+ It only occurs when the ThinkPad actually enters Hibernation mode.
+ Only 2.1GB Hard Disk has this problem. There is no problem with other hard disks currently available from IBM.
1.25
- (New) IBM 4GB and 5GB hard disk drives are supported.
1.30
- (Fix) Keystroke entry immediately after entering the power on password can result in failure of proper recognition of subsequent keystrokes That is, a keystroke immediately after the entry of a password (before the operating system is fully loaded), can cause problems with any subsequent keyboard entry.

- (Fix) CHKDSK.COM does not run from command prompt after executing RediSafe-suspend / resume with opening window or full screen, if installed FIX PACK-005 over OS/2 4.0 .
- (New) Support for Windows 98.
