Access Connections: proxy + homepage settings not taken over in Firefox and IE since upgrade to 5.0
Hi,
I got a really annoying problem since upgrading to AC 5.0: both in IE 6.0 and FF 3.0 the proxy and homepage settings are not taken over when switching the network profiles. A first attempt based on a statement found here
http://www.thinkpad-forum.de/thinkpad-software/thinkvantage-software/13963-access-connection-absturz...
seemed to look succesful. (for non Germans: they have solved a crash-problem while creating new profiles in reducing the size of FF's prefs.js file to a value under 45 kB). I had a similar problem, too, and solved it in this way. Also the proxy issue seemed to look better then but but only for some days. Now its the same again, proxy and homepage (did by the way never work with AC 5.0) do still not have any effect on IE and FF.
What's the reason? Has anyone solved or at least experienced this problem?
Thanks a lot for any hints...
Best regards,
Carsten
PS: T41p, Win XP Pro SP2, IE 6.0, FF 3.0.1
BSNF:
Stopped working on 5.0. Upgraded to 5.02 through System Update, continued to not work. Have deleted all profiles, recreated: Still doesn't work. Have uninstalled Access Connections, reinstalled: Still doesn't work. Doublechecked settings in profiles, verified that check box is on in order to get Access Connections to do its thing.
Both IE 6.0.2900.5512.xpsp.080413-211 (that is, the system proxy and home page settings) and Firefox 3.0.1 are affected.
Turned on log file; there were 152 lines of error message, included below, some of which clearly make reference to Firefox. Don't know what's wrong. Some kind of permission thing?
<tr><td></td><td><font color="#FF0000"><b>ERROR SvcGuiHlpr( kab(Prvlg).4576.0340) [9/14]14:26:40:960 GetPrefsFile got prefs file path [C:\Documents and Settings\kab\Application Data\Mozilla\firefox\Profiles\vbpsq9vz.Work\prefs.js]</b></font></td></tr>

I've got a much bigger file that contains the log when switching back and forth. There's other error messages in there, too: Missing PID, etc. Any ideas?

L530 - Access Connections: proxy + homepage settings
The problem is on a brend new L530, installed from scratch with Win7 Enterprise 64bit, no Lenovo Solution Center, just Lenovo System Update (5.02.0018) and Lenovo Access Connection (6.01).
The steps I did:
Ethernet cable plugged in
Started system
After a while AC asked for the new profile name, flagged the "Modify profile" checkbox
Modified settings
Applied profile...nothing happened on the Control Panel (Internet Options) so IE is useless.
Looks like Firefox settings changed (Manual profile and all the settings are there).
I wish AC would set "Control Panel -> Internet options" so every modern browser would work (Chrome and Firefox both have "System Settings" for the Proxy settings).
Keep in mind that If I reboot the system (maybe forcing AC to re-read profiles) looks like everything works fine.
So the real problem looks related to profiles created after AC loaded.
Any hint?
Moderator edit: Please DO NOT post in 4+ year old threads!
Solved!
Go to Solution.Maybe this could be useful for someone as I think I found where the problem is: pay attention at the "No Proxy" setting!
I did some tests and it looks like AC doesn't handle "Firefox" syntax for this setting (i.e. 10.0.0.0/8), if you put that on the profile the proxy setting will not be set.
The other problem is that Firefox will not understand IE setting (10.*).
Right now I set up profiles just with "IE syntax" and wrote on BugZilla:

My MBP mid 2010 display blackout and froze while working but my keyboard light will still light up. Won't be able to retrieve it and have to hard shutdown. Sometimes it happens a lot. Wether it connected to power or not, it will blackout on and off. Please advice what shall I do.
Do you have a 15" mid-2010? If so then your problem is surely...
Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff
dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000

dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
Good luck,

After an update to firefox I keep getting a warning from my Firewall (McAfee) "Program wants internet access". I have permission set at outgoing for firefox and updates checking off, to check that request is valid so what does it need access for
This was not a Firefox update, but a piece of malicious software you have inadvertently downloaded from a site called http://ffftp.co.cc/ which is impersonating Firefox. I discovered this as soon as my Zonealarm requested permission for "Golds" to access the internet. Golds??!! However I couldn't find a file with this name installed on my computer.
You should delete the file you downloaded and certainly do not allow internet access to any suspicious program. If you have already given permission, scan your PC immediately for any virus, malware, etc. Best of luck. -

Spry Horizontal Menu causing site not to load using Firefox and Maverick OSX 10.9.2
Why does Spry Horizontal Menu cause site not to load using Firefox and Maverick OSX 10.9.2?
Your code is terribly malformed.
There are multiple body tags & erroneous tags that overlap your <head> and other content tags. Get those fixed first.
And you also have more than 1 doctype definition in the wrong place.
If my assumption is correct, I think each include file you're using has its own doctype, body, html & head definitions causing final PHP to render all these on your output page.
Run your site through W3 validator like Jon suggested earlier: [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.ambppct.org/ - W3C Markup Validator
Fix those and you should be good. -
Access Connection - proxy settings
Since one of the last updates, access connections do not switch proxy setings (IE ans FF). All other network settings will switch correct, but not proxy...
Why is'nt lenovo/ibm able to convert proxy exceptions for Firefox? As it proxy settings was changed (before the latest update), in access connections used thy ";" as separator also in firefox, this can not work. ff need ",".
Please make access connections woking as soon as possible. Its one of the main features i loved/need at my thinkpad...Noone working with access connection with the same problem?

T410 Access Connections- entry point not found
I have just clean reinstalled win7 pro, and have a bug that I have not seen in the previous 3 years of my 410's life.
Access connections cannot be opened. The access connections bars on the toolbar are grey (showing no connection), but I have a connection - so presumably win is doing the work. If the mouse gets even close to AC on the toolbar, then win explorer freezes and needs to restart (win explorer also is less predictably unstrable at other times- but presumably it is because of the conflict with AC).
Here is the error I get from inside Control panel when I try to open AC.
Any suggestions?I had the same problem.
If you download 7tcx26ww.exe from Lenovo download site, it seems to work ok afterwards.
Hope this helps. -
Access connection loses WWAN settings when rebooting
After upgrade to version 5.31, Access connection loses my wwan location profile when rebooting. It will revert to a profile named Mobile broadband. I can then edit this profile, but it will be lost when robotting next time.
I am using the Erricson wwan modem.
Any ideas ?
/MFHi,
try to make following:
- delete all WWAN profiles in AC profile list
- delete the WWAN driver
* reboot
- install the WWAN driver back
* reboot
-create the WWAN profile, that you need and reboot again, so that you just verify, that the profile is saved.
Btw: in the past I had this same issue and you would not believe, but it was caused by the fact, that I have used old version of Power Management dirver and Power Manager.
By my previous issue was the fix following:
- delete AC
- delete WWAN
- install:
1) Power Maangement driver
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-4GXPEG
2) Lenovo System interface driver
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67228
3) Hotkey driver
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-68000
4) Power Manager
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70601
5) Wifi driver (optional, because I have used the old version of this driver)
6) WWAN driver
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70000
7) Access Connection
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67283
The installation order was the root cause in my case.
I would advice to use the latest versions from the Lenovo.com site, as if you are using one app with new and one with old version, then it might cause trouble.
Let me know, if that made any change.

I intend to purchase a Mac Mini and connect to a regular (not Smart) flat screen TV that will be as such a large monitor. With this setup do I require an additional Apple TV to watch programs from Netflix, Apple Store movies, Y-tube etc?
You can view NetFlix and YouTube via their websites on a Mac computer. You can purchase/play iTunes movies and other thing via iTunes on the Mac.

Since upgrading to Lion I am having problems with Safari on my Macbook Pro. I am using wifi to access the internet and the internet works in all other application except for Safari. When I try to access a webpage most times I get a error message saying I am not connected to the internet. If I click on diagnose the problem, I get connect again to the internet through the diagnostic process and the webpage generally works. This is not a problem when wired to the internet.
Check your network settings, in particular the advanced setting "DNS Server". If it is by chance 127.0.0.1, make sure to change is and use a know DNS Server (from Google for example, or your own Router local address).

I installed a program called iMesh to play music on my computer via the internet. When I used Firefox now the search windows have been taken over by 'iMesh Web Search' and they don't bring up the same lists when I searched Firefox previously; e.g. it is very difficult to get 'Hotmail' to come up. I have uninstalled the iMesh program from the computer (not just deleted the icon), but my Firefox remains invaded. Please can you help?

Need to create a new spreadsheet or be able to edit the one I have.
I use this spreadsheet as a work order form for social service agencies. They enter name address etc., and then there are various work projects that they can select as well.
The one I have from the organization I work with is an excel file but it does not convert over very well. Instead of being 7 pages it is more like 11 or so because things run off the page. I am trying to delete certain things and move them over but not working out very well so thought it might be easier to start over fresh.
Is numbers the program to use? If so, any useful tips?If the form is going to be used on an iPad, Numbers is the only game in town.
Numbers is available for Macs only (and iOS devices). Excel is available for PCs and Macs. If you are in a mixed environment of Windows PCs and Macs and you are using this document as an electronic form, Excel is probably the better choice. Otherwise you will need to export to Excel for the PC users then import from Excel to retrieve their data. The import/export process is not perfect. A file that has been exported then reimported will not be the same as the original file. I would assume social services agencies are almost entirely PC-based.
If the form is to be printed or turned into a PDF for distribution and use by the social services agencies, either Excel or Numbers would do the job but right now Excel might be the better choice. I would have recommended Numbers '09 but I cannot recommend Numbers 3 for anything thsat requires printing until they give us the layout and printing functionality we used to have (editing in Print View, ability to set margins, etc).
If everything else in your department/operation/agency is Windows PC and Microsoft Office based, you would be better off sticking with the standard.
I hope that helps. -
