mobilenvidia Posted March 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 To fix error at booting in to Windows: Actually found a workaround for the startup error, apparently its the ACTray.exe causing this error. To fix it remove it from the startup programs.I'm not sure what is lost with this not running, but it still seems to function fine for my purposes even without this.

Guest Joe_T-USA-RTP-NC Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Why does it say "Acces Connection can not run on this platform"? I'm getting the same error message at startup, :) though I'm able to run the "Access Connections" utility without a problem. :unsure: And can connect to the internet by either the ethernet Lan adapter OR by the WiFi adapter. :P You may want to to download the latest drivers for your wifi card at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?doctypeind=9&template=%2Fproductselection%2Flandingpages%2FdownloadsDriversLandingPage.vm&sitestyle=lenovo And a link to the latest version of the "Access Connections" utility and help info at http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/think/thinkvantagetech/accessconnections.html. I haven't read the material on the "Access Connections" site yet, but thought I'd share the resource. And a great forum for anyone with questions about ThinkPad technology: http://forum.thinkpads.com/index.php. :) Joe Traylor - USA, North Carolina, RTP (ThinkPad T61- C2D 2.4GHz / 4GB DDR2 / 150GB 7.2K HDD) Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
