Hello,
I believe I have a bad entry in Network Connections. This entry
is left over from a wireless network card which I have since removed.
When I attempt to disable the entry, I get the message ....

"It is not possible to disconnect at this time. The connection is
currently busy with a connect or disconnect operation."

Does anyone know how I can get rid of this entry? The PC currently
takes a long time to boot and IE7 takes longer than it should to do
anything. I'm running Windows XP over top of Windows Me.

Thanks

Look for a corresponding device under Network Adapters in Device
Manager, and remove it if found. It might only appear if you start
the computer in Safe mode.
