Yes Zlito@AOL has a point! A hardware profile will probably work in your situation. To make the profiles: Go to the Control Panel and double-click on "System". Choose the "Hardware Profiles"-tab. Click on the one hardware profile listed, and choose "Copy". Give the profile a describing name, for example "No Network". Click on the
other (original) hardware profile and rename it to "Network". Then click "OK" to close the System-window. You have now two hardware
profiles, but they are currently similar. To differentiate the profiles, double-click
on the "Devices" icon in the Control Panel. Locate the driver for the device, Click on the name of the driver, and choose the
"HW Profiles ..."-button. In the window that appears, click on the "No Network"-profile and choose the "Disable"-button to the right. The network, is now disabled in the "No Network"-profile, while it is
still enabled in the "Network"-profile. Click "OK" and "Close" and
restart your computer. During the restart, youwill now be asked which
hardware profile you want to use, and only the drivers listed as "enabled" in that
profile will be loaded. It is possible to make more than two hardware profiles, just repeat the steps above for each new profile.
If this works for you give the points to Zlito@AOL it's his idea. Also since I am doing this from memory I may have missed a step 'cause I cannot confirm it on this comp (Library computer)Go to help in windows and plug in "Hardware Profiles" in the index and a how to should be there.
