I just installed windows 7 and everything is running smooth but Fn+F5 doesn't display anything even when i have the systeminterface driver and the hotkey utility installed. Is there something I'm missing? Perhaps a wrong order of installation? Does anyone have any input on why my Fn+F5 doens't do anything?
I also have the power manager installed as well.

-
are your wireless radios turned on?
(the hard switch) -
yes i'm on wireless internet right now
-
Did you install Access Connections?
-
no what's that?
-
Access Connections provides control of your wireless radio and location switching using the Fn+F5 key combination:

i'm pretty sure everything worked on vista without installing access connections
Edit: trying the windows 7 access connections -
If your machine came with Vista from Lenovo, Access Connections was installed at the factory.
When you press Fn+F5, Access Connections runs and displays the various radio options for you. If you don't have Access Connections installed, you won't see it, plain and simple. -
i reformated my computer with vista too and the radio control for bluetooth and wireless would come out even when I didn't have access control installed
I installed access connections and fn+f5 still doesn't do anything -

FOUND IT, its the POWER MANAGEMENT driver. Not to be confused with the POWER MANAGER. So for the fn+f5 to work, you need to install the
-system interface driver
-hotkey drivers
-power MANAGEMENT driver
it'll work after =D -

Symptom:
The current version of ThinkVantage Access Connections may not function correctly on Windows 7.

If this doesn't help, I give up. -
access connections has nothing to do with fn+f5. IMO its just bloatware program that isn't necessary. Just see above post
