After takeoff and after engaging the autopilot I select LNAV which works just fine then push the VNAV button and everytime I get a FMC message that says 'PERF/VNAV not available'. What am I doing wrong........................help!!!!!

Are you sure you have all of the performance information loaded in the FMC/CDU correctly?  My VNAV works very well.

Are you sure you haven't done something like put a 15000' crossing restriction 2-3 miles after takeoff?  If it can't hack the climb based on the route programmed it will barf on you .

  I have found MANY things wrong in the 757 package but the FMC system isn't one of them.  Programmed properly it works without error.  (so far)
