Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update troubles

When running System Update on my IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad X61T I get an error message that says:

An error occurred while gathering user information

It took some hunting around to find, but it looks like the new version of the System Update tool doesn’t recognise Vista Business SP2 (and some other Service Pack 2 Vista releases too).

The post on the Lenovo Forums that got me up and running again was this one.

Thankyou starsheep!
