device manager
Hello,
After getting infected with Apropos and removing it - I have some problems with my laptop. When I open device manager, there is nothing in it. When I select start/settings/network connections, my local network does not appear, although I can access it. Any ideas what went wrong? Thanks, E Fassett |

Thank you for the idea. The problem is I was directed to do a windows repair
by an HP support person and the process hung up and so I ended up having to re-install windows. BAD. I saved your info in case it happens again.
