I am no longer able to disable or repair my wireless network from my
Wireless Network Connection folder or from my taskbar icon.  Clicking on the
"Disable" option produces the following: "It is not possible to disable the
connection at this time.  This connection may be using one or more protocols
that do not support Plug-and-Play, or it may have been initiated by another
user or the system account."  When I click on the "Repair" option I get a
reference to not being able to disable the conection.  I CAN disable and
re-enable the adapter from the "Device Manager"  Any ideas?  Regards, JohnSk
