Access connections cannot run on this platform

I have been staring at this message every time I start this computer up every since the day I got this babe... Lenovo ThinkPad SL410... running Windows 7 64-bit...

I didn't really have any idea what exactly the access connections does... but... since I was able to do the things I wanted to do... I would simply close the popup window and get on with it.


Finally, I decided to do something about it today....

First of all, what the heck is "Access Connections"?

Essentially, it is a program designed to allow ThinkPad users switch network and internet setting by the selection of established profiles.

After some research, I eventually was able to get rid of this error message.

What did I need to do to get rid of the error message?

Due to my aging process... not quite sure... especially when I am not too keen to recreate the problem no it is resolved... 8-O lol

Yet, I believe what I did was to install the Hotkey Features Integration package (file: 81vu22ww.exe.  This package contains four sub packages...

  • On Screen Display
  • FullScreen Magnifier
  • System Interface Driver
  • Display Utility

Theoretically, it is the system Interface Driver that needs to be updated.

After this package was install, you should not see the error message again when the computer is restarted....

Following is a list of ThinkPad Systems and operation systems this package supports:
