| 735032 | 2009-01-04 19:26:00 | In "Device Manager" I have showing under "network adapters" 1394 Net adapter NVidia nForce Networking Controller. NVidia nForce Networking Controller #2 All three are reported to be working.' In "network connections" I have the three conections showing, but "local area connection 2" has a red cross through it. If I uninstall #2 everything still works. It seems to be completely unnecessary. But when I reboot anytime after removing #2 it is re-installed. It puts it's red crossed icon on the task bar. This can be hidden, but it reappears after every reboot. This has been happening ever since I got this computer. Last week I did a format/reinstall of my C drive and it reappeared. I do not have any network connections installed. All I have is a broadband connection to xnet. Running XP pro sp3 and IE6. All updated |

| 735037 | 2009-01-04 20:09:00 | If you dont want to see the one thats no connected, if you go to Control Panel/Network Connections - On the one thats not connected, right click/Properties/General Tab - untick the two boxes down the bottom -Press OK & it should disappear from the Notification Area. | wainuitech (129) | ||
