| 651065 | 2008-03-20 08:40:00 | Hi Being a bit of an oldie and getting paranoid I just noticed an unfamiliar occurance. I usually automatically look at my internet icon in the taskbar without thinking(all these slow connections which have improved considerably)anyway I noticed yesterday that my connection icon had disappeared and I had a safely remove icon in its place(cable modem). Not sure what to do I can still access the internet hence this request,found also that my network folder is empty.Searched by google and this site but not a positive answer. Anyone able to give some info would be appreciated. Regards Gramps |

| 651066 | 2008-03-20 08:43:00 | Is your cable using USB?? What have you got thats removable (like an Ipod / USB flash drive)?? If this is XP, click on the < on the taskbar bottom right, it maybe hidden |

| 651067 | 2008-03-20 08:44:00 | No idea what your problem is. Did it just randomly disappered? Or did you do something before it happened. Please give us more information, mainly what Operating system you are using, eg Windows XP, Windows Vista etc | SPARTAN 860 (2618) | ||

| 651071 | 2008-03-20 09:12:00 | Not to sure off the top of my head if this will work with USB, does with Ethernet -- Go into the control panel, Start/control Panel/network Connections/ locate your Connection if its showing, right click it,/ Properties/ check the check box down the bottom is ticked that says " Show Icon in Notification Area when Connected", if it is already ticked untick it, close the box, reopen then retick it / OK. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 651073 | 2008-03-20 09:30:00 | This sound like the prob (hardware.mcse.ms) Might be this browser service thats disabled or a registry entry is missing One site pointed to a nasty / rootkit that can do what youre seeing (or not seeing). Have you scanned this system recently ? |
