mobilenvidia Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Lenovo seem to have done what Atheros cannot (will not ?) made a Client Utility that works with Vista and Windows 7 in both x86 and x64 versions. I've tested on my system with Windows 7 x64 and it works, not an ideal application, done much better with other WLAN OEM's but better than nothing. :) Access Connections 1.21 WHAT THIS PACKAGE DOES ThinkVantage Access Connections is a connectivity assistant program for your ThinkPad computer. It enables you to quickly switch the network settings and Internet settings by selecting a location profile. You can define the network settings and Internet settings in the Location Profile for modem/wired LAN/Wireless LAN network devices, and then restore that profile whenever you need it. By switching the location profile, you can connect to the network instantly without reconfiguring your settings when you move from office to home or on the road. Refer to 2. in the "NOTES" section below or marketing materials to find out what computer models support which adapter cards. If this package has been installed, updating (overwrite-installing) this package will fix problems, add new functions, or expand functions as noted below. There is an error that occurs after a reboot, that can be fixed this way :) 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.

Michael Marley Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 My dad's work laptop has this on it and it is nothing but trouble. No matter how hard I try, I simply cannot get it to connect with the home network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroXtreme Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I tried this on an Acer laptop, it works fine, except for the boot up message that says "Access Connections cannot run on this platform", any ideas how to get rid of this message? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I get that as well at boot up :) I fixed it by installing my Ralink based card and it's own great Client Utility :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wei Chung Chen Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 the boot up message "Access Connections cannot run on this platform" can be removed by regedit \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LENOVO\Access Connections\Intall\ here, please create a "TPCHK" DWORD, and set value=0 than reboot machine.
