Simple solution I am sure, but?
Ok, I took my computer in to have a new power supply
installed (that was a nightmare in itself, certain computer manufacturer and their proprietary parts...but I digress). I get the computer back and the repair shop I had taken it to had done some minor changes (he said it would help my computer perform better). I didnt pay much attention as they were mostly cosmetic changes. So here's my problem....I had a problem with my internet connection (cable modem), and had to look up my connection status. However when I right click on the connection and click on status nothing happens. I dont get the pop-up box anymore that allows me to see status info and most importantly lease info, MAC numbers and the like. It's been about three months since I took the computer in and I tried calling the guy but he's not been in (he owned his own shop) to ask. So, how and what could he have possibly done to stop the status box from displaying and how can I get it back? Thank you in advance. |
