shute93 Posted July 27, 2009 CID Share Posted July 27, 2009 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted July 27, 2009 CID Share Posted July 27, 2009 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.

shute93 Posted July 27, 2009 Author CID Share Posted July 27, 2009 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
