Re: Runaway memory usage in Access Connections AcSvc.exe on Windows Vista (SP1).

Wow... They deleted my previous message where I complained about AC and suggested to use Windows built-in functions for Wi-Fi switching instead.
Well, I have Vista Business 64 on Thinkpad T61p and this piece of software just never worked properly out-of-the box. Neither does newer version 5.0.2. It still leaks memory and CPU badly, to which there's plenty of evidence (see my previous posts) and no solution.
Sure, deleting messages criticizing bad software is easier than addressing the problem.

For a change, I'm not the moderator who deleted that particular message, but looking at that moderator's comments in our archive, I believe he felt it was more of a rant and less of a productive critique of problems.
You can criticize all you like as long as it's reasonable and productive.

My T60 - 6371-CTO running Vista Home Premium X32 with SP1 using a wireless card "Thinkpad 11a/b/g WI_FI wireless LAN MINI PCIe US/EMEA/LA/ANZ" has many problems with AC 5.02 - disconnects when resuming from sleep or hibernate, fuzzy graphics, and sometimes a feeeze of the mouse that can be fixed by rebooting. This all started when System UPdate installed AC5.02 and PM 2.64 at the same time abpout a month ago. All problems went away when i went back to AC4.52 but kept the PM2.64 version. Your 4965 card may make the difference in being able to use AC5.02.

Connecting a hard-wired Windows Vista machine locks up my Airport Extreme N

I just installed a new Airport Extreme 802.11n.
I have 3 computers...
1. Hard-wired Mac Pro
2. Wifi connected Powerbook
3. Windows Vista machine--works with Wifi, but I can't plug it in without locking up the modem
I'm using DHCP with a comcast connection.
Everything works great until I plug in the Windows Vista machine. This immediately locks up the router and prevents internet access on all hardwired machines (wifi still works). It disappears from the Airport Utility and needs to be unplugged and reset to reappear.
Obviously this has something to do with the IP address assignment and DHCP.
What settings need to be changed so that I can have both my Mac Pro and Windows Vista machine hard-wired?

Hello LeeMI. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Just to make sure, your network configuration, with the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), should look something like the following:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > /[WAN port] AEBS /[LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > /[Ethernet port] Main computer ... is this correct?

Access Connections Problems With Windows 7 and Microsoft Security Essentials

There appears to be a conflict with Access Connections and Microsoft Security Essentials which causes Microsoft Security Essentials to generate high page faults and high CPU usage, and prevents normal operation of Access Connections.
After fresh install and reboot Access Connections would not launch, and when cursor was moved to the taskbar, the cursor pointer changed to a spinning loop. Clicking on the Access Connections gadget did nothing. Looking at Task Manager, Microsoft Security Essentials program msmpeng.exe was experiencing 5000+ page faults per interval. Terminating msmpeng.exe immediately caused Access Connections to launch.
System configuration: Lenovo Thinkpad x200s with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 RTM (installed with a fresh install) with all current updates, and all updates from Leovo including Access Connections V 5,42 Build 6JC725WW,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here is a workaround to fix the issue
1) Launch MS Security Essentials
2) Click on the "settings" tab
3) Click on "Excluded files & Locations"
4) Click "Add"
5) browse and add the following exceptions
a) C:\Users\Public\Lenovo\Access connections
b) C:\Users\Public\Lenovo\Access connections\AccConnAdvanced.html
6) Click "Save Changes"
The issue is also resolved in AC 5.5 which is posted to the web

Can someone please test both solutions and let me know if the issue is resolved.

Access Connections does not accept Windows Wireless Config

Hi All,
We are rolling out RADIUS/802.1x wireless lan in our enterprise. The wireless settings are deplyed via AD grouo policy - no problems there.
I have an issue when i configure my access connections (ver 5.21) on my T61 machine. I configure AC to use Windows wireless security settings whcih are picked up correctly. The issues occur when i switch from this profile to another profile for exampls and vice versa. AC seems to think that i need to configure my wlan security settings each time i switch to that profile and wont connect. I get an error message:
The SSID 'WM2009' selected for this profile must be configured in windows. Click OK to configure the wireless settings in Windows'.
I know that the wireless settings are fine, as i can connect with the window wireless client fine - its just AC that has the issue.
Any ideas appreciated!

Domain policy wireless profiles are not compatible with Access Connections.
The problem stems that Domain profiles are stored in a different part of the registry than a locally created WZC profile. Since these are part of the domain policy, they cannot be altered locally. Microsoft wouldn't provide Lenovothe encryption used (for obvious security reasons), so the domain policy based profiles can't be manipulated by Access Connections.
But we do provide an ADM template that can be used to do much the same things.

Access Connection on X31 with Windows 7

Hi
Is it possible to get ThinkVantage Access Connection to work on a X31 (2672-CEG with Intel 2100 B3) with Windows 7?
I've tried newest Power Manager (1.60.0.4), Intel driver (1.2.5.37) , Access Connection (5.61) nad Hotkey FI (3.09) but Access Connections can't see that the wireless NIC is turned on, and therefore I can't not turn it off
Kind Regards
Bo
Solved!

Hi,
unfortunatley X31 is not supported by the latest version of Access connection.So I really doubt, if you will be able to get this work is some way.
I understand, that these are not the best news.
Please mark this thread as closed, as unfortunatley there is not much that can be done.

Exporting Access Connections profile / Import to Windows Wireless

Hi All.
I have an issue which i really hope someone have a solution for as either googling and searching through 53 pages on this forum has not provided me with an answer. Here goes...
The hospital on which i'm working are about to change their IT-infrastructure and when this migration takes place i will no longer be able to use Access Connections. I have about 30 profiles in AC and all of them with a security key which would be hell to setup again through windows wireless.
Do any of you know of a way to export profiles from AC and then import them to Windows Wireless?
Thanks in advance!

Connect to Mac from Windows Vista issue

Hi I want to view some files that are on my Mac from my PC (Windows Vista). Here's what I did so far: On my Mac I enabled file sharing, I selected the folders that I want to share.
Now here's the part that confuses me, it asks me to add the users to share the folder with. but do I enter the username and password for my mac or is it the username and password for my PC? What I did was add all the accounts that are on my mac.
I then went on my PC, clicked on network, I can see the mac computer, I can also see my username and folder, I click on it, I then see the drop box but when I click on it I get a network error message that says "Windows cannot access Users public folder drop box".
I don't know what setting I need to enable since I'm very new to this. I can access the files that are on my PC from my Mac just fine. but I can't access the files that are on my Mac from my PC. Do I need to create a new mac account?
I also noticed that when I click on the mac computer from my PC in Network, it doesn't ask me to enter a username and password, could that be the reason I can't connect? Please help.
Message was edited by: Stuart Lawrence

The user names and passwords are the same on both systems. That is not the issue.
The issue is that each user can only connect to the mac from their windows system when they physically log on as user at the mac.
Otherwise it will not even show up in their network neighborhood.
If I boot up the mac and log in as the user, I can connect to the mac from my windows system but the other two users can't.
Likewise if one of them logs in as the user on the mac, I cannot connect to it from my windows system.

Connecting iPod Shuffle to Windows Vista RTM

Dear all, I'm having problems connection my great iPod Shuffle to my newly installed Windows Vista RTM.
When I connect the iPod it's is shown as a Device. But I cannot copy any files to the device. It "hangs" for a few minutes before it stops with an error message. "Could not actualize to device. Unknown Error (-50).
Any ideas what this could be? Or is iTunes just NOT "Vista Ready" yet?
Thanks
Simon

1) Check and see if it will sync under XP compatibility mode (right click the program, not the shortcut> click properties, there will be a compatibility tab). A popup may nag you about changing the compatibility, just ignore it for the time being.
2) Check your USB hardware drivers to have them up to date. Vista is one of the weirdest OS's I've been around lately that uses older (read: not native or "updated") drivers and messes up on them...
3) The iPod service might be misbehaving. You can restart it by going to start> right click my computer>
manage> services and applications> services> click iPod service> click restart service.
4) NT OS's (including Vista) tend to be "closed oriented" on bidirectional hardware access, so make sure you can connect to other devices as well.
So much for the rumored iTunes update with the "colored" shuffles... I guess that's for later...

IMac 24" cant connect in WiFi from Windows Vista

Hi;
First I apologize for my bad english.
Now, here is my problem.
My iMac 24" running under OS X 5.6 connects itself perfectly in WiFi to my CometLabs WRM42 ADSL router in Mac mode. But i'm not able to establish the same connexion in Windows Vista mode.
According to Windows troobleshooting, linking router and Mac with a cable permits the connexion to work and continue to work after pulling out the cable. But the connexion is not again possible without cable after a restart of the computer.
Many thanks to whom will give me the solution.

well, to be honest...networking in x ***** these days - but not as much as windows does I miss os9...
Anyway, I have a great deal of experience with it and windows, so chances are i've ran into this problem before... so here it goes -
question one - in your "directory access"(in utilities) what workgroup do you have (it has to be IDENTICAL as the one on the windows machine) otherwise windows wont play nice.
Question two- whats the hardware setup like? Is this directly through a crossover cable? Are you connected through a switch? It sounds like its able to connect, so it must be correctly wired, but. There have been instances (here anyway) where the plug on the wire either wasnt firmly seated, giving intermittant access, or it was simply put together badly. Not that this is the case here, but i would try to eliminate that possibility by going directly between computers with a cross over cable (a good one..heh) just to be certain.
id ask the ip# question, but you gave that in your ping report. The numbers appear to be right, the only thing here i could think of is if A) you have differing subnets, or you have different dns numbers. I highly doubt thats the problem though. Now depending on your version of x, i seem to recall there being the need to set a user to be able to share to windows. In the older days i believe that box was in the accounts control panel. Now its a "accounts" button in the sharing control panel. Be sure to give it the name and pass of the account you've turned on.
the other question that might pertain is, what version of windows is this? Strangely enough i seem to have better success with win98 than with xp. But it would be interesting to find out...
anyhoo, good luck with the voodoo

Database connectivity toolkit problem with WINDOWS VISTA and Microsoft jet 4.0 provider

Hi again,
I'm experiencing a problem with Database connectivity toolkit and Microsoft Jet 4.0 provider (MS ACCESS mdb database).
I was able to get my application to work properly on my PC: WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL, VERSION 2002, SERVICE PACK 3 and Msjet40.dll ver. 4.0.9511.0 (Windows XP SP3 and Security Bullettin MS08-028).
The same connectivity toolkit seems to have problems (although I didn't get any error dialog) on a laptop with WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE, SERVICE PACK 2 and Msjet40.dll ver. 4.0.9755.0.
Does anyone have an idea whether it is a sort of compatibility issue or a different thing?
Would it be possible to include my DLLs into the installer in such a way LabVIEW application calls those DLLs instead of the ones it finds on the host PC?
Thanks a lot. Any suggestion or advice very welcome and appreciated.

I ran into this with Windows7 64 but, could not get the jet 4.0 to work. Endnd up dumping access and used sql server express, its free, and all my code worked fine, just used a different UDL to connect. I wasted lots of time trying to find a way of getting the jet4.0 to work with 64bit windows.

Difficulty connecting Mac Mini and Windows Vista laptop

I have a Windows Vista laptop. I have been connecting to the Internet via a wireless DSL router. I just purchased a Mac Mini and want to hardwire the Mac Mini to the router and also create a home newtork where the Mac Mini can transfer files to and from the Vista laptop and vice versa.
What is the best way to do this? Could you please provide detailed information as well? I don't have a lot of experience with computers or networking.
Thank you!

Mini connects then disconnects from Windows Vista

I recently upgraded to Windows Vista Premium, and my 80gig iPod connects and syncs no problem to iTunes 7. I also have a 4gig mini that when I plug in the USB cable, Vista configures successfully and I can see the iPod as a drive and in device manager, and all is well until I open iTunes. As soon as I open iTunes, the mini shows up, but then Vista says it disconnects, then it reconnects, then disconnects, over and over. Has anyone else had this problem with Vista and their Mini??? Anything I should try??
4GB Mini Other OS

I left it plugged in over night and there is no change... I actually have 2 Mini's and the problem occurs with both, but not with the new 80GB iPod.

Usage Tracking - Access problem when Authentication Mode = Windows

Hi Everyone,
I´m working on UPK Usage Tracking configuration, in order to provide the finished training material.
1) In Server01 (on Window Server 2003) the UPK Usage Tracking is installed
2) In Server02 (also on Windows Server 2003) the Usage Tracking database is installed
3) By accessing the configuration file (http://Server01/ODSTrack/configuration/setup.aspx) on Server01,I setup the Authentication Mode = Forms
Note: The rest of the configurations were done.
4) Once the configuration from step 3 is done, I execute the traning material (on Server01) from another node of the windows network
and as a result I´m able to perform it.
5) I access the Statistc data on Server01 by accessing the file (http://Server01/ODSTrack/admin/default.aspx)and I´m also able to see the results.
6) When I execute the step 3 but with Authentication Mode = Windows, and including the GROUP name (windows group specially created for this goal where my user is included),
- I still have access to the training material (step 4)
- I have NO aceess to the statistics data any more (step 5) and the following message is display
"You do not have permission to access this page. Please contact your Usage Tracking Server Administrator to update your permissions. "
I don´t know what else I can do, and I wonder if some other configurations need to be done at windows network and/or explorer lever or any other.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best Regards//
Rubén Zamudio

Hi All,
This problem was solved by reconfiguring Usage Tracking in the authentication method (was anonymous and the solution was Windows integrated).
It is important to count on people from your organization working on Networks with some knowledge in IIS.
Best Regards
Ruben
