sorry for the late reply..i guess maybe before you set up your network.. or you connect to the wireless network..
so that's open in there. but the active one is RDS

Most likely this is some type of wireless networking connection software causing this to happen. Usually these come preinstalled on laptops when you purchase them. It could also be installed as part of your wireless drivers software. This connection software is probably hiding in your program files somewhere. Did this laptop come with Windows Vista originally?

No, I installed it.
And it's Windows 7 not vista.

This Technet thread seems to relate to your particular problem. This would only apply if you installed something from apple like itunes or Adobe ps3 programs.

Whazza..... did you install windows 7 RC?

You might try disabling the bonjour service.

whazza · 29 Jul 2010

@chev65 No, it had Linux installed.
@ITGIRL No, Windows 7 Ultimate

ITGIRL · 29 Jul 2010

Ultimate huh? I only have pro

Did you try disabling the bonjour service?

I don't think if I even have that... how do I see if I have it?
And no, I didn't install any Apple product
