Sorry, just got back from vacation, one sec

hi,

1) If you double click the icon, does the Local Area Connection Status window come up?

2) You can try to set IE back to its defaults. With IE open go to Tools>internet options>Advanced Tab>Near the bottom click the Reset Button.

3) Dont know off hand. I havent used Outlook in years.

1)Yes: double-clicking brings up the wireless networking connection status window

2) Tried to reset - unfortunately it still crashes.


3) Outlook is still choppy - I'm running another autoarchive now and will look into alternatives. The main reason I use outlook is for offline viewing (know exhance server anymore). I hear Google can be synced with other email clients (e.g. thunderbird) for offline viewing, so I may look into this. Feel free to offer suggestions.

Aside from that, reverting to Reader Pro 9.0 seems to have stabilized Acrobat and all else seems ok.

Thanks for the help, and sorry for being AWOL.

Hi,

1) Maybe your adapter is losing its connection then re-establishing it or is it displaying
"acquiring network address" all the time?

2) did you see this.


3) no suggestions. I use evolution in linux, no offline or syncing

Hey Shelf

1) It's showing "acquiring network address" all the time, but internet seems to be ok

2) I had not seen that link before, but that's the process I'm using right now. Still, it's rather annoying using an unstable platform that crashes periodically.

3) I see... tx anyways.

Aside from 1), did you notice any other malware on my system? It seems to be running ok now.

Hi,


Go to start>run and type in devmgmt.msc
click ok
Windows device manager will open up
Click on the plus sign next to Network Adapters. Is there only one listed?
Do you see any yellow exclamation marks?
