Annoying Messages on Wake-Up from Hibernate or Standby

[Robert M. Lincoln]

My laptop, a tablet PC, displays messages near the taskbar (icons at lower
right) everytime it wakes up from Standby or Hibernate. It's annoying. The
messages are "Local area connection" and "Wireless Network Connection is not
connected".

My laptop is frequently not connected to the internet, and I know when it is
or isn't. How do I prevent these message from popping up every time?

Thanks

Have you tried disabling the network icons?

No, but I find them useful when I do connect.

Have you tried disabling the network icons?

Please check Event Viewer for Warning / Error Reports in the System and
Application logs for the time of the error and post copies.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should
double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste.
Often the link will, however, say there is no further information.

(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click
on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now
start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This
will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links
into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.

why would that help? This isn't an error, this is the expected behavior for
a PC that is coming out hibernation.
