Loosing T530 AC (Access Connections) + PM (Power Manager) Icons after Sysprep

Lenovo T530 (Windows 7, x64 SP1) Sysprep OOTB generalized
After the Sysprep, the system looses the Icons from the Access Connections (Version 5.85) and the Power Manager (Version 6.32) in the Taskbar. I can get them back, if i'll do a right click at the task bar and choose the AC and PM manually.
Is there a possibility that the symbols retained after the sysprep?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Probably because the tools aren't added to the taskbar in "Default" user. Did you added the tools to the taskbar in Audit mode?
Though sysprep will not keep some settings. You may need to use `unattended.xml` to configure scripts to add those tools to the taskbar.
Just another question: does the PM tool appears in its factory state?

T450 - Power Manager crashes after Sysprep

After Sysprepping a T450 with a clean Windows 7 64 bit Professional custom build, Lenovo Power Manager crashes with "An error occurred while loading resource DLL". Followed by "There was a problem starting C:\Program Files (x86)\ThinkPad\Utilities\PWMTR64V.DLL The Power Manager toolbar on the taskbar also will not load. Reinstalling Power Manager (latest version 6.67.5) resolves issue. Reinstalling it immediately prior to Sysprep does NOT resolve the issue. Anyone else seen this?

T430s Error in how the Power Manager icon displays in system tray at bottom of screen

The icon for the Power Manager in the Windows system tray in the bottom right area of the screen is cut off. It's basically displaying itself too low on the system bar. Please see picture attached:
Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried updating to the latest version of Power Manager (v 6.40) but that didn't help. I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
Thanks.

Hi, wesaturn
Have you tried updating all other driver updates available for your system, such as the BIOS and video drivers? They can all be found here if not.
Also, how long has this been occurring? And has it ever displayed properly?
Best,
Adam

Error connecting 8i Enterprise Manager Console after installation

Dear all, I am very new to the oralce world and got stuck today the first time I install oracle 8i on my win2k pro.
After the installation, I was trying to connect the Enterprise Manager Console for the first time, using the default user name sysman and password oem_temp (correct?). The problem is that I don't know exactly what is a management server, and what name it should be called. I named the database/sid name orarem, under D:\Oracle\admin\OraRem, does it have something to do with this issue?
I only installed the oracle enterprise server edition 8.1.6.0.0, not the Client part, will that matter if I only wanna run oracle on my stand alone desktop as a testing procedure for now?
Any help would be really appreciated!!

Power manager crashes after returning from standby mode.

I have a T400 2767 WU6 running Windows 7 Pro-64bit.. After returning from standby mode, power manager crashes (version 3). All the software installed is supposed to be compatible with win7 pro 64bit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does this issue appear from the beginning?
Possibly the OS was installed several time ago and now the registry entries are corrupt.
Therefore the system busy egg timer could appear.
Im not 100% sure it will help but possibly you should reinstall the whole OS
On the fresh installed OS all should works much faster

[SOLVED] GNOME Power Manager Icon

Hello,
With the recent influx of GNOME 2.22 packages, gnome-power-manager has begun to behave strangely on my system.
In gnome-power-preferences, I have specified that the notification area icon should only be displayed when my laptop battery is charging or discharging. Since I upgraded my GNOME packages, the icon has always appeared in my notication area upon login -- even if I am running on AC power. In that situation, the tooltip for the icon reads as follows:
Computer is running on AC power
Laptop batteries discharging (100%)
Battery discharge time is currently unknown
If I unplug the power cord from my computer, the icon (strangely) disappears. If I then proceed to plug the cord back in, the icon will appear briefly (I assume to indicate that what little power was drained from the battery is being replenished) and then disappear once more.
This problem is occurring on a Dell Inspiron 6400 (E1505). I feel that I might need to report this issue as a bug, but I'd first like to know if anyone else has noticed this oddity since the upgrade.
Thanks!
Edit:
It seems as if gnome-power-manager thinks that I have two laptop batteries (though I have only one). Clicking on the notification icon lists two batteries: one with the usual "on AC power" icon and the other with the "discharging" (standard battery) icon.
I do not think that there are any problems with ACPI: running acpi yields the following:
Battery 1: charged, 100%
I'm not quite sure where gnome-power-manager procures its information about the batteries)....

Frozen on plug in to mains power adapter icon after update

I updated the software on my ipod recently only to find it then frozen with an unknown icon. I checked the support website to see what this meant and apparently I have to complete the update by plugging my ipod into a mains socket via an adapter.
The only problem with this is that I don't have a mains adaptor - I have only ever charged my ipod via the USB cable and don't remember seeing a mains adapter. Is there a way to bypass this step of the update so I can use my ipod again or will I have to go out and buy a mains adapter?

You need to plug it into the mains adapter to finish the update.
Are you sure your iPod didn't come with one?
Either way, if there's an Apple Store near you, bring it in & ask one of the Geniuses to plug it in for you. That ought to do the trick

Text problems on X40 Access Connections and Power Manager

Recently, and possibly in conjunction with a recent Lenovo update, Access Connections and Power Manager (at the least, there may be other programs that have problems too, but I have not checked all) display all text as little boxes. The functionality is still there, but it is kind of hard to figure out what's what. I have PM 1.6.3 (just installed the latest), but not sure of version of Access Manager, as I can't see it.
I can email a screen shot if needed, but could not figure out how to put one in here. Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi Sami,
I just got stuck on the same problem as you and following is what I found in details fro ThinkVantage Access Connections version 5.30. Hope this helps.

Access Connections 5.12 and Power Manager 2.41a continue to garble the screen

The newest versions of Access Connections and Power Manager continue to be soooooooo slowwwwwwww that when they start, they both leave a Not Responding screen in the background and the graphics in the foreground continue not to display properly. The big red circle is cut off at the top border and the Close buttons are fuzzy and not clear. The root problem is that both applications are exceedingly slow to load even on a super fast system.
These problems version after version after version after version have never been corrected.
I have drawn this to Lenovo's attention on numerous occassions before. This time is pretty much the last straw.
Does anybody at Lenovo listen? That was a rhetorical question.
These two applications appear to be permanently broken.
.... jdhurst

The same experience here. The only new ThinkVantage app that works acceptably and is worth of upgrade is only Fingerprint reader software. Power Manger and Access Connections are too slow and add nothing that important (as far as I am concerned) to be worth of trouble to update. So I stick to the older versions in those two cases.

Access Connections and Tools won't install properly

I have followed advice uninstalled the wireless driver, access connections, hotkey, power manager. . Reinstalled all ( latest versions) except access connection. Wireless connections work correctly and all hot keys function appropriately ( including Fn +F5 ). Then I let TVSU download Access connections. An icon is placed in the task tray. Clicking on it nothing happens. Also none of the hot keys work including the blue ThinkVantage key. Once I uninstall Access connection I am back in business with the wireless connection and the hot keys working. ( for all these installs I turned off the Microsoft virus scanner and the firewall).
Have similar problem with ThinkVantage tools in that I get the Icon in the task tray and then the program freezes. No problem in reinstalling PC doctor5

Hi dulverton,
I find lenovo drivers and software rather eccentric; since they need to be installed in a particular order to work properly.
First uninstall your wireless driver and access connections, thereafter reboot your system. Then install wireless driver first, again reboot, subsequently install access connections, reboot again.
Further this is the order in which the following drivers must be installed for each of them to function desirably:-
1) Lenovo PM driver
2) Lenovo System Interface Driver
3) Hotkey driver
4) Wireless driver software [reboot]
5) Access Connections [reboot]
Hope it helps.

Reinstall Access Connections Problem: X61s Vista32

I cannot get Access Connections (V5.02 and below) to function when reinstalled. Disk churns, takes forever to load and hangs if start is attempted. Checked required drivers all are ok.
Removed again but now wireless is off and refuses to come back on.
HELP!

I just finished a lengthy fight with this very issue on my X61 Tablet. I had tried all sorts of things to get it working. After looking through the Access Connections documentation I decided to wipe out and reinstall everything it listed as being a prereq. That seemed to do the trick. It may not all be necessary but it worked for me. Here is what I had to do to get it working again.
download the latest drivers for your wireless card, ethernet card, system interface driver, and power system. Also download a copy of access connections and power manager to be on the safe side.
Run the EXEs to extract the drivers to the c:\drivers directory but do not run any of the associated setups
Reboot into safe mode
From Programs and Features uninstall the Power Manager, Power Management Driver, Access Connections (blow away your profiles as well), and the Lenovo System Interface driver as well as any Intel network drivers in that list.
From the device manager uninstall the network card and the wireless card. my laptop listed a lot of goofy looking NICs in the device manger under safe mode, I uninstalled all of them as well. the Thinkpad PM device under System Devices also showed as having an error in the device manger for me so I uninstalled it as well.
Reboot
Open the device manger, update the drivers on the NIC and wireless card by pointing to the drivers you downloaded. Verify that all other devices are installed and working properly.
I then ran system update and let it install Access Connections, Power Manager, and the System Interface Driver. I'm sure you could manually install them from the packages downloaded in step one if you preferred. Just make sure Access Connections is installed last.
It will prompt you to reboot. After the reboot you should be all set.
One other side note, the Intel Proset install doesn't seem to play nicely with AC. During one of the trials I did while trying to fix this I installed the full proset and that really started hanging things up. Just my experience though. YMMV.

Access Connections (5.84) opens with no window displayed (Win 7)

I am running Windows 7 (64-bit) on a T500 with 6GB of RAM.
I ran the Lenovo Software Update utility the other day and installed all of the listed updates. This morning, I attempted to bring up Access Connections (aka Internet Connections; v. 5.84) to take a look at the profiles I had defined. When I start Access Connections, the task appears in the task bar but there is no window displayed!
I thought that the update that was performed through TVSU might have gone wrong so I downloaded 5.84 from Lenovo's website and attempted to install it again and I'm seeing the same behavior.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
For now, it's not severe issue as I don't have a need to create a new connection profile but I may have to soon.
Any suggestions on what I should try?
Thanks in advance.

I was experiencing exactly the same problems with my T500 Win7 X64 Utilimate machine after the last set of Lenovo updates. It took a few days for me to notice the problem. Not only weren't the Access Connections and Power Manager windows not rendering, I also stumbled onto the fact that my Blackberry Desktop Manager was also not rendering.
I had also applied a number of windows updates as well. I backed them all off with no change.
LENOVO SOFTWARE SUPPORT DOES NOT EXIST!!. I called the 800 number 1-800-IBM-SERV and was told by the IBM contractor answering the Thinkvange support call that he is only allowed to tell a customer to uninstall and reinstall the Lenovo provided software. If that does not fix the problem then he must tell the customer to reload the system from a prior backup or reinstall the operating system.
I booted the machine in safe mode with networking and found that the Power Manager and Access Connections windows will render. That reminded me that included in the recent System Updates was a new display adapter driver from AMD. I have had problems with these drivers in the past and went into device manager and rolled back the driver. Reboot and now I have my access connection, power manager and Blackberry desktop windows fully operating.
IS THERE NO WAY TO REPORT A PROBLEM TO LENOVO FOR THEIR SOFTWARE ISSUES?
I hope this helps you and anyone else experiencing the same problems.
LENOVO - The last AMD Dual Driver is BAD!!!! as was releated in the past month for X64 machines.
I can be contacted at xxxxxxxxxxx if any Lenovo representatives or managers would like to discuss this issue and why I should continue to buy ThinkPads for me and my clients.

Disabling power management on wireless nic

Hi,
Is it possible to disable the power management/power save mode for the wireless nic in os x? In ubuntu, it can be done using iwconfig (ex. iwconfig wlan0 power off )
Thanks.

True, the connection doesnt get lost, but the Cisco Lightweight Access Points recognise the Macbook has dropped into a Low power/Power management state after a few minutes of no network activity. A show client on the console of the WLAN controller shows the client has dropped into a power management state after a few minutes of inactivity, not inactivity on the machine, but network inactivity.

This is enough to force a full re-auth of the client
Apple clients dont support Cisco CCX extensions so Key Caching cant occur, and full re-auth is required, which can cause client to lose connection.
If the client could be forced to keep the WLAN card active when the macbook is on there would be no issue. Seeing as OSX is based on linux, one would assume this would be a possibility to have this available as an option, even if it doesnt exist currently surely it isnt a limitation of the hardware, merely the OS.

Lenovo Access Connections Program Dead

Hi, and thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I'm running Vista Business on a T500. I've always used the Lenovo Access Connections program to switch wifi locations. Access Connections now doesn't appear to work. The program opens normally but there is now (hadn't noticed it before) a location profile named "Windows Wireless Service," and when I click the "Find" button Access Connections doesn't find anything the list and graphic screen show no networks even if there are a dozen WiFi routers.
When I FnF5 the Wireless Radio window opens indicating that my Bluetooth is "on" and the 802.11 is "off." If I click the "Power On" button nothing happens.
But my internet works normally and it's even switching WiFi locations automatically! Somehow the machine has switched to using the Windows WiFi manager - the only thing I can think of that could have precipitated this is that I plugged into my work ethernet. First time in about a year that I've done this and these problems with Access Connection seemed to start shortly after that (no indication at the time - Access Connections seemed to work).
If I go Control Panel > Network & Sharing > Connect to a Network I see a "find" window similar to the Access Connections list, but on this Windows program the routers are all "found." I see in a few places that two network connection managers can't be running at the same time. I tried turning off the service "WLAN AutoConfig" but that did not allow Access Connections to run. Maybe I didn't shut off the right thing or maybe I didn't turn it off correctly. Since Access Connections doesn't work I turned WLAN AutoConfig back on, but it would be nice to have Access Connections functioning. I've looked everywhere and can't find an answer. Any suggestions appreciated!
Ben

I have Access Connections working in Windows 7 and had it working in Vista before that. I use it to change between wireless connections as well.
If you want it working, try the following:
1. Document your profiles (SSID, WEP or WPA, security key) in a small Notepad file.
2. Download the latest copy (5.85 if I remember correctly).
3. Uninstall Access Connections. When it asks, delete the profiles as part of the uninstall.
4. Go to Windows Wireless Manager. Delete any left over profiles in it.
5. Restart.
6. Install Access Connections (use a wired connection first if you can).
7. Now install the first wireless connection and ensure that it works.
8. Assuming so, install the remaining wireless profiles.
Good luck.
