| 1111365 | 2010-06-18 09:41:00 | normally my wireless icon is the one where theirs a little screen which goes green when internet activity goes on with sound waves to the right of it (the normal wireless taskbar thing in xp). today when i turned my pc on and it's still like this. its now a stick with sound waves going out of it. here's what it looks like today: how do i fix it or is this just an update or something. im suspicious. i have done scans with MSE, spybot, malwarebytes. nothing found. so i'm clean. |

| 1111367 | 2010-06-18 09:48:00 | yeah but i like the old icon. i'm wondering whats changed. windows dosent automatically update. i get it to let me know when their is updates. i still need to do windows update. all i know is that it wasent like that when i turned it off at 2am this morning. i just want to know if its something to do with xp or a virus | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1111368 | 2010-06-18 09:50:00 | Its for wireless. It depends whether youre using windows drivers or the drivers for whatever adapter. The icon may look different | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1111369 | 2010-06-18 09:53:00 | i could have updated the driver without knowing. anyways it dosent really matter but when i hover my mouse over it it does'nt show the connection stats (connection: very good etc.. network name). | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1111370 | 2010-06-18 10:04:00 | There's nothing wrong with your Wi-Fi. Just hover your mouse over the icon and wait for the words to appear. The icon is indicating that the Wi-Fi is working properly. Right click it and it should give you more information | bluenose (14548) | ||
| 1111371 | 2010-06-18 10:07:00 | i get nothing when i hover over. anyways. thanks for the help. though it might be suspicious | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1111372 | 2010-06-18 10:13:00 | Mine was like that on my Laptop with Win XP. Quite normal, and yes you're right about the updated driver for it, that's exactly what has happened. LL Cheers |

| 1111374 | 2010-06-19 07:32:00 | it's back to normal. must have been some sort of error or something | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
