Error: This version of PC-Doctor for Windows is not licensed for this machine.

I recently was having some problems with my hard drive on an IBM Thinkpad R51 Laptop.  The vendor returned it and I tried using the IBM 'Rescue and Recovery' software that came with the machine.  This utility restores the machine to its factory settings.

Now I am trying to run the PC-Doctor application but getting the following error:
    'This version of PC-Doctor for Windows is not licensed for this machine.'

Can anyone explain why I am getting this error?

abnewallo,

There are a couple of things that could cause this, older BIOS or older PC-Doctor software. 

Make sure you have the most current BIOS on your machine.  The latest Bios can be found on the IBM site at:

Download the latest version of PC-Doctor for your Laptop directly from the IBM website.

Windows Version:

Dos Version (bootable CD):
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-56222

This should get you going.
