Access Connections
Access Connections™ is a connectivity assistant program for creating and managing location profiles. Each
location profile stores all the network and Internet configuration settings needed for connecting to a network
infrastructure from a specific location such as a home or an office.
By switching between location profiles as you move your computer from place to place, you can quickly and
easily connect to a network with no need to reconfigure your settings manually and restart the computer
each time.
Active Protection System
The Active Protection System™ protects your hard disk drive when the shock sensor inside your computer
detects a condition that could damage the drive, such as system tilt, excessive vibration, or shock. The
hard disk drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating; so the system stops it from spinning,
and might also move the read/write heads of the drive to areas that do not contain data. As soon as the
shock sensor senses that the environment is stable again (minimal change in system tilt, vibration, or
shock), it turns the hard disk drive on.
Lenovo Screen Reading Optimizer
The Lenovo Screen Reading Optimizer program provides you a convenient way to use electronic reading
software. It can detect the orientation of your computer and rotate the screen accordingly. It also enables
you to adjust the screen brightness.
Lenovo Solution Center
Note: Depending on the date when your computer was manufactured, your computer is preinstalled with
either the Lenovo Solution Center program or the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program for diagnostic
purposes. For additional information about the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program, see "Lenovo
ThinkVantage Toolbox" on page 18.
The Lenovo Solution Center program enables you to troubleshoot and resolve computer problems. It
combines diagnostic tests, system information collection, security status, and support information, along
with hints and tips for maximum system performance. For detailed information, see "Diagnosing problems"
on page 127.
To start the Lenovo Solution Center program in Windows 7, see "Accessing applications in Windows 7"
on page 15.
