Now this is something weird.
Was in a hotel and couldn't get the wireless to talk to my HP lifebook with XP pro latest update.
Called the concierge and a specialist came to look at it.
He clicked on the little computer icon with the wireless symbol (as it usually shows in the lower right corner of the screen)
He changed some settings and it worked.
So far so fine.
Now, these little computer icons, one for the cable network, one for the wireless, one for the modem, are gone.....lost in space.
I cannot retrieve any of them, means I cannot change the wireless network anymore.
Right click on
taskbar, select
properties, select
customize, set the icons to
show always did not help.
Start,
settings,
network connections opens a folder with 0
items.
The network troubleshooter says all is fine.
The service
svchost.exe is called with parameters
-k netsvcs the system says
file is missing The file
svchost.exe is in the
drive-c
windows\system32 folder where it belongs, I even replaced it with a friends file, same computer same operating system.
Anyone any idea????
