Why is it so my network connection icon appear in the status bar in Win XP (anthing until 2 minutes)?

At startup, sometimes the network connection icon in my taskbar pretty quickly (30 seconds). It takes about 2 months and then suddenly the icon will take whatever it is 2 minutes to appear for a month or two, and then it will return to normal.

Can you tell me why this should be?   And I can do to stop what is happening?  It is VERY frustrating!

HI Johnboy1935,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • Why you don't put a "missed call" icon on the status bar?

    Hello and sorry for my English, I hope you understand me.

    Why you don't put a "missed call" icon on the status bar for example next to the wifi icon?

    The problem is, I missed a lot of calls, because I don't see a for example missed call when im listening to music or when I use the maps in my car and my iphone is always turned on. I often go out to my car for 3-5 minutes, because I work in the service of delivery. When im not in the car and someone calls me, I can't see it when I'm back in the car. The missed call is in the home screen on the phone visible (visible?) icon.

    Sometimes, I have 3 or 5 missed calls, my wife is angry about this, my patronized too, they call me twice every time, or I have to watch every time every 5 minutes on the home screen the phone icon to see if I have a missed call.

    The problem is every time when the iphone is still on and I not always in the middle.

  • How could I give priority to my network connections, (without turning off the strap attached, as it took), so that it uses the internet from my main network connection?

    Prioritize network connections

    OK, here's the situation.
    I have a regular ethernet connection that provides me with a network and the internet.
    I have also a tablet PC which I attach to my PC so I can use it as a controller. (Not that it is important, but it's for a DAW/Midi controller)

    My problem is that whenever I place my tablet, PC starts by ignoring my normal connection and taking the internet from my Tablet (even when it is not connected to the internet). As a result, my internet is de-energized once I tie it, if I'm not as under the wifi on my tablet.

    My question is, how could I give priority to my network connections, (without turning off the strap attached, as it took), so that it uses the internet from my main network connection?
