Thanks for helping me out with this. I wasn't sure if my disabling the network would affect anything or not. First thing in the morning, I'll be sure to enable the local network and reinstall the usb adapter if I need to.
Only thing I don't like about having the networks enabled, is I get those extra icons down there in the lower left hand corner of the taskbar and goodness, all those icons look messy.
I'll get back in the forum tomorrow evening and post as to whether or not this corrected the problem. Thanks for helping.
