Every time i try to disable my connection, i always get this message " 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 it may have initiated by another user or the system account." What could be the possible cause of this error? Thank you...

Most of the time this means there is more then one driver installed for the same device. Check in your "installed programs " .

If you have moved any PCI cards before this started ( may have been a while ago, but you haven't needed to uninstall / disable the connection until now ) , sometimes windows gets confused as to just where this is located in the interrupt,.

Have you tried uninstalling the nic in device manager ? And any other connection as well, restart , the system will find the devices, you'll need the correct drivers after this, so make sure you have media containing them before removing the devices from the system.

thank you for your reply, but i didn't do anything or installed any driver before this happened...
the thing i observed is that my connection speed improved a lot  , so i think i might just ignore this (at least for now)

I feel the same way sometimes

i will try your suggestion when this error already bothers me and my connection encounters some problems...thank you very much
but for the meantime, i will just disregard this one and enjoy my current connection...

i don't know if this is true, but i don't care...at least this is what the speed test says...
