Thinkpads Forum

hi - am a thinkpad owner with 3 years experience of using my T40P. My girlfriend recently bought a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop. It did not want to connect to the network of her parents, an ad-hoc network with static IP's (no DHCP). after some messing around by her dad, the problem was still not solved, so I uninstalled access, as well as the wireless drivers, and installed new drivers and the newest access (4.21 i believe).

unfortunately, access has become completely unresponsive - i tried removing access and the wireless drivers, and installing them again, but this did not help. the programme launches correctly in the system tray, but whenever i double click on it, or click on things in it (eg managing profiles), it takes AGES before anything happens.

what could be at fault?

Check your firewall, this is quite often a cause of slow programs. If you disable windows firewall and any firewalls/spyware blockers does it still run slow?

thx for the answer - a complete removal of the drivers and reinstall of access helped - not sure why it didn't first time round.
