Re: Space between the harddrive and the touchpad T60

My T60 widescreen (6371-CTO) has an opening to the right of the tochpad on the front edge that has a plastic cover on it. Does anyone know the FRU for the card reader and the connections to the motherboard?

Re: Warning: Memory Leak in Access Connections

I just updated from AC5.22 to AC 5.33. No memory leak is noticed in Vista Home Premium and all seems to be working well. The UI on AC 5.22 was distorted and is now fixed in 5.33.

AC 5.12 for VISTA

AC 5.12 for Vista has just been released. All the problems with AC 5.02 (drop offs when coming out of sleep, GUI fuzzy) have been fixed in AC 5.12.

AC 5.12 for XP runs better also.

Thank you Lenovo.

Re: Access Connections v5.12 for XP Now Available

My R 51 with XP PRO SP3 does not freeze anymore when coming out of sleep - about 50% of the time it froze with AC 5.02. In some cases the R51 would loose the wireless connection and in order to get a connection with the ATT Uverse system required a reboot. None of this occurs with AC 5.12. The tempo...

AC 5.12 is considerably improved over AC 5.02 for XP SP3 on an R51.

If you have Access Connection 5.02 go back to AC 4.52, which is on the Lenovo driver matrix. This has eliminated many of the problems with AC 5.02. Loss of wireless, freezes, poor GUI are present on my R51 with XPP + SP3 and on my T60 with Vista Home Premium +SP1 with AC 5.02. Lenovo knows of the AC...

If you are using Access Connections V5.0.1 or V5.0.2 there are known problems with the GUI and error codes. Uninstall it and get V4.52, which was on the Lenovo website a few days ago.

If you are running Lenovo's Access Connections 5.01 or 5.02 then this is probably causing your problems. A bandaid fix is to revert to AC 4.52 from Lenovo's website.

I had the same problem. If your version of Access Connection is 5.01 or 5.02 that may be the cause. I replaced 5.02 with 4.52, which is available from Lenov's website.
