ThinkVantage Access Connections, Power Manager, and Toolbox all crash on startup

I have a SL 500 with factory Vista , updated to SP2 and the current versions of the thinkvantage components.
Access Connections has always been very buggy of this machine (I guess the battery monitor has been as well), When I attempted to update them this is where I ended up.
Also just installed new .net framework 4 as well.
thanks for any help

  • Power Manager and Access Connections crash, neither help nor solution from Lenovo!?!

    Hello
    I've already posted here on the forum several weeks ago about the obvious problem that Lenovo has with the latest version of the Power Manager and the Access Connections which both crash either on startup or while tryibg to open it.
    So far there has been neither an update, nor a solution nor an official statement from Lenovo about that problem that consists rightnow for over two month!
    When searching the forum I see the same all over again: Unanswered threads, solutions that don't solve anything at all and so on...
    And just if someone here comes up with comments like:
    "work's here" or "just rollback to the old version", what is the point of writing software that doesn't work?? And why not giving ANY SUPPORT AT ALL???!!!
     I really would at least like to see an official statement saying "we work on it". After buying one of the most expensive notebooks on the market (and in my opinion still one of the best) hat would be the least one could expect form a "award wining" company like Lenovo...

    Hello, I am a Help Desk Consultant at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and currently, we've had many problems with access connections, 4965 agn wireless card, and its drivers.
    Symptoms:
    1) Wireless card is detected my windows device manager
    2) Wireless card is NOT detected by access connections, intel wireless utilities/tests/etc
    Other related information:
    1)  Events with ID 7036 + source: NETw#v## (the # stand for numbers, I can't quiet remember which ones but the one after the v is a 5
    2) Rollback driver is NEVER an abailable option
    3) Every failure case with same symptoms came in starting mid September
    4) If you select "show hidden devices" in device manager, there is a huge number of devices, most of which seem to be repeats
    After many hours of debugging and fustrated complaints, I have determined that it could be one of many problems:
    1) Teredo tunnelling: Apparently, atheros/intel/access connections won't find the wireless card if teredo has been enabled or something
    2) Power management: A default setting is "let windows turn the wireless off it there's not enough power" in wireless properties>configure>power management
    3) Driver update combination conflict: between a update on 9/21 and present time, there's something horribly gone wrong
    If anyone has a definitie solution to this, please post. 

  • T400 - Thinkvantage Access Connections not connecting after sleep/hibernate

    I have a relatively new T400 for work - and there are no problems connecting wirelessly at work.  However, I have set up my home wireless network, and I have problems.
    When I power up my laptop, I can create a Connection Profile for my home network - and it connects no problem.  However, if I let the laptop go to sleep, it will not reconnect upon waking up.  Using the diagnostics, I get 3 errors - (a) make sure your encryption settings are correct for this network (it connected before, so they are)
    (b) contact network adminstrator (that's me)
    (c) your profile is on the same channel as an active network (yup - mine)
    The only solution appears to be to delete the profile, reboot the PC, and recreate the profile.
    Windows XP Pro, Thinkvantage Access COnnections 5, Intel 5100 wireless card (and T400 as I indicated earlier).
    Any tips?
    Thx,
    jason

    All of hte MS updates are applied.  I have tried the Thinkvantage System Update utility, but it does not work (System Update 3).  When I start it, I get the splash screen for the program, and after a few minutes the splash screen disappears; when I check teh taks manager, the system update tool is not listed in the Applications tab.

  • ThinkVantage Access Connections cannot export .loc profile

    Hello,
    I've tried to export one of the location profiles in Thinkvantage AC. The function however is disabled in the profile maintenance window/menu. Access connection thus only allows importing, but no exports possible.
    I've already tried using the Deployment tool for creating .loa files. But as this is binary gibberish, it's not much more useful to me than a registry export.
    So, does anybody alternatively have a *.loc file at hand for public viewing? Couldn't find a single example on the web. (Much less in Lenovos documentation or web site...)
    Thanks!

    Here's an update to my situation:
     ThinkVantage Access Connections Issue
    I just gave up on this and uninstalled it so no conflicts on this now.  (Not critical to me unless someone more knowledgeable thinks it should be!)
    Rescue and Recovery: I tried reinstalling both the  Thinkvantage version 4.21 and Rapid Restore 4.0 after disabling all virus protection and uninstalling whichever one was on at that time.
    Thinkvantage version 4.21:  Gave me tons of errors in the  pre windows R&R environment so I gave up after rebooting a couple of times  It told me there was a problem with factory.exe and the following files were "corrupt and unreadable":
    netdgdxb.PNF
    nettcpip.PNF
    netvt86.PNF
    netw940.PNF
    net557.PNF
    netand2.PNF
    netbrdgm.PNF
    netce2.PNF
    NetSetup.Log
    Rapid Restore 4.0: Reinstalled from c:\ibmtools\apps.
    Ran both "Create Rescue Media" and Rapid Restore 4.0.   "Create Rescue Media"seemed to work ok and burned a CD for me.  Rapid Restore had a problem and closed on it's own, but then proceeded to prompt me through 17 CDs for a backup!?!  Can I rely on these?  Is there a way to check their integrity?  Of course, a fix for the program seeming to end--but not really --would be great.  Also, the program to create the factory product recovery disks is no longer in Start-Programs menu.  The pre Windows R&R environment seems to load ok--no obvious error messages.
    Finally,  since I reinstalled the software is the backup to factory info gone from my computer?  Is there a way to check?  What is the relationship between this and Windows System Restore which is reserving 9Gb on my HD--do I need both?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Firefox 3.6.8 crashes when accessing Add-on Manager and Google Toolbar (v 7.1.20100723W) is enabled

    Well, as I said, Firefox 3.6.8 crashes when accessing Add-on Manager and Google Toolbar (v 7.1.20100723W) is enabled. This is on a 2010 white unibody macbook. I have a google toolbar, and all of a sudden, it keeps saying that it can't communicate with the toolbar. Now, I can't even uninstall it because whenever I go to the add on manager, it says there's an 'unresponsive script'. Could anyone help me? Thanks.

    I fixed it by running in Safe Mode, and uninstalling Personas. Thanks again!

  • Use thinkvantage access connections to map a network drive

    Is it possible to use thinkvantage access connections to map a network drive. I have three different basic sites (home, work1, work2) with network drives that I would like to access depending on the site.
    1) I wonder if it is possible to configure thinkvantage access connections to automatically map the network resources through a connection profile?
    2) I wonder if it is possible to configure thinkvantage access connections to automatically map the network resources through a connection profile that is based on vpn connection?
    thanks in advance
    sincerely, anders

    Hi,
    directly it's not possible for Access Connection to reconfigure your network drives.
    However, there is one really cool part of Access Connection, that might be realy suitable for your situation. This part is the script/application, that can be executed when a profile gets applied.
    So for your situation I can imagine, that you create a .bat file, that contains something like this:
    net use * /DELETE /YES
    net use Z: \\computer name\share name
    The first part will delete all maped drives. The second part will establish connection that you want to use. Of course you can multiply the last part, so that you can configure multiple connections.
    Please let me know, if this helps.
    Cheers

  • Thinkvantage Access Connection reinstall help

    I removed the Thinkvantage Access Connection program because I was having problems connecting to the wireless network in my home. I thought I'd try the Windows network connection but I couldn't get it to work. I now want to reinstall the Thinkvantage Access but don't know how. My T61 did not come with any disks. Where can i find this program, or do I have to do a full restore?

  • Thinkvantage Access Connections on W520

    I would like to use the Thinkvantage Access Connections on my W520. I have found where to download the files. In the Read Me document it state that the model W520 is supported but the network connector is not listed in the "supported device" list.
    I want to use the Thinkvantage Access Connections for my LAN networks.
    It is a bit confusing now. Is the Thinkvantage Access Connections available for the W520 model or not?
    Thank you

    Hey Bostoe,
    Yes it is if you look at the links below one is to Access Connections for w520
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&DocID=DS030044#devices
    which shows that it is supported and the next link is to Psref for a w520
    http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/tabook.pdf
    which show the wlan that is installed which shows up on supported hardware. Now if yours is different from any of the above please post the device you have and we will be more then happy to help in any way we can.

  • ThinkVantage Access Connection disconnects

    ThinkVantage Access Connection disconnects from the Network after resuming from Sleep or Hibernate.  The only way to reconnect to the Network is to reboot.  OS is Vista Home Premium installed on Lenovo notebook 3000 N100.  This problem just recently began.  Have not made any changes that could have possibly caused this problem.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
