Hi my question is on my wireless network i have a router that is downstairs and a wireless usb in the computer upstairs everything worked fine and still does after installing SP2 but i want to know why when the internet connection is connected 2 screens dont pop up in the right hand corner and only one screen pops up after the installation of sp2?

P.s SP2 has affected the internet a little bit but it isnt noticable, and both my router and wireless usb are 802.11g and 54MBPS.

thanx...

WHAT???

98% of the population is asleep. The other 2% are staring around in complete amazement, abject terror, or both.

I sure don't get this question. You want pop-ups, you used to have them, or what?

You can avoid many of these Windows problems with Linux. Linspire eases the transition for new users

Okay. When u have an established internet connection, there are 2 monitor like icons in the right hand corner of the taskbar next to where the time is.. i was wondering why they have been replaced with 1 monitor like icon? this is shown below in the image link..

This happen straight after i installed Sp2.

There was some confusion with the icons... The WIRED connection icon and the WIRELESS icon where the same so you could not tell which one was connected. Microsoft changed the WIRELESS icon so that it looks more like a BROADCASTING icon.
