Access Connections broken on brand new laptop

Hello Helpful People!
I've got a brand new ThinkPad W510.  Whenever I try to use ThinkPad Access Connections to set a location, Windows Wireless Service sneaks in and takes over.  This means that ThinPad Access Connections is completely useless for me.
Any thoughts on a registry change or whatever, that would make Windows Wireless Server not take over from TVAC?
By the way, when I turn off "WLAN Auto Config" in services.msc, that disables TVAC completely also.
Thanks,
Kevin

Access Connections uses the wireless subsystem of the operating system.  Under XP, AC was a replacement.
You will see "Windows Wireless Service" in Access Connections when you create wireless profile outside of Access Connections. I would suggest removing all AC profiles, then open the wireless setting under manage networks and remove all the wireless profiles left over.  From that point on, only make wireless connections through Access Connections.

  • I just got a brand new laptop and I can't seem to put music onto my iPhone - help?

    I just got a brand new laptop and I can't seem to put music onto my iPhone - help? I'd really rather not completely empty my iPhone in order to have it agree with this new laptop. How do I get them to talk to one another and let me put my music on my iPhone?

    The iPhone will only Sync to One iTunes Library at a time.

  • My Lenovo says that power adapter is not supported on brand new laptop

    Hi, I bought new Lenovo laptop two weeks ago (Lenovo Y50-70) and everything worked fine up until this morning. When i turned it on baterry icon showed that laptop was not pluged in, so i checked if everything is connected properly. Next thing a pop-up appeared saying ''Adapter is not supported''. I am sending you a screenshot. I searched the problem on internet but were not able to find anything that relates to my problem. Also i tryed calling technical support but they were not able to respond to my problem. I am reminding that this is a brand new laptop with guarantee list and everything. Please help i will be awaiting for your responseThank you

    Same here. I just got off a phone for my G50-70 laptop( bought from Newegg.com . It is a new laptop with warranty.
    I am getting frustrated as they have sent the replacement charger twice and it did not solve the problem. After that, they got on a session remotely to connect on my laptop. One hour and they still could not fix it.
    They said that they will send the laptop to their technicians but they did not say anything about what if they could not solve this problem.
    A 600 USd dollar laptop and they cannot even get this fixed. I have ths problem for the last 6 months on this laptop.
    Any luck anyone?

  • Brand new laptop: Incredibly slow and laggy.

    Hi,
    My mum received a brand new laptop on Saturday (this exact laptop) it hasnt been overly used as yet but the laptop seems very VERY slow. Browsers take a good while to open, sites like Facebook take ages to load - Farmville 2 for example takes an age to load and even when it does its very laggy.
    Why is this band new laptop so slow? Nothing has been installed on it other than Firefox and the spec of the laptop seems pretty reasonable. Windows 8 is horrible but thats another issue.
    Can anyone help or give any advice?

    Do you open farmville from the laptop or from the internet? Have you checked the speed of your LAN or wireless?
    Which are you using wireless or LAN NIC?
    When you open application on the laptop is it slow?
    Trying to determine if it is the connectivity is slow or if it is your laptop.
    Also what version of AMD Catalyst are you using?
    Here are some things you can do to make sure you are fully updated.
    Make sure you have the most current .NET Framework 4.0
    Make sure you have the most current DirectX 11.2
    Make sure all of the other Microsoft Updates are complete as well. Missing Updates can cause issues.
    Uninstall the AMD Catalyst you have now, before installing the Beta version.
    I know most are trying to use the AMD Catalyst 13.9, which is used Windows 8 64-bit.
    The AMD Catalyst 13.11 Beta9.2 Driver can be downloaded from either of these two links:
    AMD Catalyst™ 13.11 Beta9.2 for Windows®
    AMD Mobility Catalyst 13.11 Beta9.2 for Windows

  • How can I delete my old Laptop from my iPhone (iTunes Wifi Sync) and connect it to my new Laptop

    HI;
    I have an iPhone 4S Factory Unlocked, up to date (iOS 6.0.1). I connect it to my Laptop named "The Love" via USB and opend iTunes and checked Sync over Wifi to enable this feature. Everything works great.
    After a couple months I sold my Laptop and bought a new Laptop named "Raid", I did the smae steeps, connect it to my new Laptop via USB and opend iTunes and I checked Syn over Wifi to enable this feature and hit Apply, also I did the sync via USB cable and it works fine.
    Now I want to sync via wifi, so I went to General --> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync --> here my iPhone still showing "Sync will resume when "The Love-PC" is available", Okay I sold it!! What I will do! I stock! does this mean I will need to find my old Laptop and buy it back????!!!!
    I tried to do those steeps over and over, same result, my iPhone stock with the my old Laptop, It seems my iPhone liked my "The Love" Laptop
    My question is:
    How do I delete this setting? and connect it to my new Laptop?
    All the best;

    Well " even if I plugged it via usb" I meant that I did all the spteps, connect my iPhone via USB, Open iTunes, Check on Sync this device via WiFi, click on Sync, Unplug the iPhone.
    Again I DO NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE USB OR SYNC MY IPHONE THROUGH ITUNES VIA USB
    I HAVE AN ISSUE TO SYNC MY IPHONE VIA WIFI (WIRELESSLY), THAT IS MEAN SYNC MY IPHONE WITH ITUNES WITHOUT USING USB CABLE.

  • Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

  • Re: Screen full of finger prints on brand new laptop

    Hi
    I bought a brand new laptop from a well known store when I opened it the screen was full of finger prints so I exchanged it for the same model and that 1 was the same and looked like it had been wiped with a damp cloth and 1 else had this problem is it the stores fault or Toshibas fault.
    Thanks

    Thanks for reply.
    I have had 3 of these laptops now as the first one developed a fault but it was sealed and the adaptor and plug were sealed in a plastic bag, the second 1 was sealed but the plug and adaptor wasnt in a bag, and was also in a different box than the first 1.
    Now the 3rd one is in the same box as the first it was sealed but the plug and adaptor wasnt, at the moment I have a complaint with the store were I bought it because even though they were sealed.
    I feel that the 2nd and 3rd had already had a system restore but have been told they were new so I dont know whos at fault the store or Toshiba.
    I dont think I should have to clean a brand new screen it might sound like nothing to some people, but I bought new and expect new

  • Clicking noises on brand new laptop.

    Hi, I bought a HP Pavilion 15-e 013sa on Monday from Curry's and when home I noticed it was making quiet clicking noises on the left (or middle). I took it back to the shop and was given a new one to pick up today. Got it home and it's making the same noise.
    Is this common of this model? It's really getting to me now and I have a horrible feeling when given a replacement it will do the same.
    Thanks.

    I've never heard a laptop make this particular noise which is why I am worried.
    And yes, hard to check without hearing the noise, it's just a low tapping/clicking that sounds like it's coming from the left but when you turn the laptop it's the middle.
    It doesn't sound like a noise a brand new laptop should be making.
    Thanks for the reply, I'm going to take it back in tomorrow and get one of their tech guys to check it. 

  • Hi I just lost my brand new laptop in a taxi. Can it be tracked? Thanks.

    Hi I just lost my brand new laptop in a taxi. Can it be tracked? Thanks.

    "...I just lost my brand new laptop in a taxi..."
    left not lost. Happens all the time. I found an iPhone once in a taxi and someone once someone left one in Starbucks. Those returns were easy. I would follow steve369's advice, call the taxi company and hope for the best. Good luck. Next time when in a taxi or limo maintain the bag strap across your body.

  • Laggy touchpad on brand new laptop

    Hi everyone. I got a new HP Stream 13inch touch screen laptop just yesterday.  I realized today that the touchpad (I don't have a wireless mouse of any kind) has been a little slow and laggy. It hasn't frozen up or anything, it's just laggy. Sometimes it will shift in another direction the second I stop using it. It's kinda annoying me and also worrying me, since it's a brand new laptop.  Earlier today, I noticed it was doing this, and I restarted my laptop. After that, it was working just fine and I thought it was just one of those glitchy things that happen randomly. But it's happening again right now and Idk what to do. I don't want to have to restart my laptop every single time.  Please help! This is my 3rd laptop already and I don't want something bad to happen to this one, too.
