| 749295 | 2009-02-19 08:46:00 | Hi guys I'm looking at my uncle's laptop, and in his system tray there are a lot of identical wireless network icons! See this picture: Attached file: system-tray.png (www.imagef1.net.nz) (8 KB) He's running XP SP2 on a Toshiba Tecra laptop (Intel Centrino - Pentium M 1.6GHz, 1gb ram...) Everything appears as normal in the Device Manager. Have any of you encountered this problem before? What's wrong? What should I do to fix it? |

| 749300 | 2009-02-20 07:03:00 | Hi forrest44 First up each icon shows the wireless connection is not connecting but are enabled. This is indicated by the small red x. 1. Right click on any one of them and select OPEN NETWORK CONNECTIONS. 2. How many wireless connection icons are in the folder? There should be one. 3. If you have MANAGE NETWORK CONNECTIONS in the left panel of your Network Connections folder, select an unwanted connection and then delete it. Reboot. Done!! 4. If no MANAGE NETWORK CONNECTIONS then try this workaround. Right click on each unwanted icon in the folder. Select PROPERTIES. Untick SHOW ICON IN NOTIFICATION AREA WHEN CONNECTED and NOTIFY ME WHEN THIS CONNECTION HAS LIMITED OR NO CONNECTION. Click OK. 5. Go back to the Network Connections folder right click on each unwanted icon and select DISABLE. The icon will then disappear from the task bar. 6. Reboot. Done!! BURNZEE |
