Hey

This is a wierd problem I have encountered just now after I stopped using windows 7 RC and changed back to windows xp (dual-boot).
In Network Connections I am unable to disable any of the adapters by choosing the 'disable' function.
All I get is this error :
"It is not possible to disable the connection at this time. This connection may be using one or more protocols that do not support Plug-and-Play, or i may have been initiated by another user or the system account"

Tried googling it and found some solutions, but none of them seems to have any effect.
Ofcourse, there are several workarounds I can do, like disabling the adapters in Device Manager, but I really want to find a solution to this problem.

I havent really changed any settings on XP since I started using the W7 RC a long time ago, so there is no way for me to trace back my steps.

Anyone encountered something like this before?
