ERROR DISABLING CONNECTION

ERROR DISABLING CONNECTION
Hi, I am unable to disable/enable (depends on which mode I am in which I hav
e
to set from the Configure button under Properties) the wireless LAN
connection. I use to be able to but all of a sudden I cannot right click on
the Wireless Network Connection and select Disable (or Enable). The Error
Disabling Connection message I get is "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." What is going on? How do I fix this. Right
now I have to go into Properties --> under General tab select the Configure
button and disable/enable from there. I want to be able to disable/enable b
y
the usual method I used which is by right-clicking and enabling/disabling
from there. Does it have to do with my Windows XP setup? When I bought my
laptop last year, it came with Windows XP Pro and the internal Intel Pro
Wireless LAN 2100 3B. I have been using the Linksys 802.11B for about a yea
r
now - it worked fine with the right clicking to disable/enable it just until
a few weeks ago. I did get a virus but that was cleaned up. I don't know
what the IT guys did, but now I can't right-click to disable/enable wireless
..
I CAN still right click to disable/enable Local Area Connection. So I don't
know what is wrong with the Wireless Network Connection. Thanks.

I just discovered that I am having the same issue only on my wired LAN card.
I'm getting the same error message that Jessica. I'm not sure when it
started because I haven't needed to disable my LAN card for a few weeks. I
have a laptop that is patched on the same schedule as the problem machine
and I am able to disable the LAN card on it as normal. I can however
disconnect the card by going to the Device Manager and disabling it there.

Thanks
Jeff
