Error Disabling Connection

C

chuck

Found this pc along the roadside. A P4 2.4Ghz.
Have added a hard drive and installed XP Pro SP3
and found drivers off the net.

As with my other machines, I have made a shortcut on
the desktop for the LAN Network Connection which connects
to my DSL modem. That part works ok.

But ... when I try to disconnect the network connection, I
get a nastgram: "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 been initiated
by another user or the system account."

WTF ... Over.

What does this mean in English and is there anything I can change
to be able to disable this connection???

Hmmm ... maybe disable the LAN port in BIOS and add a LAN
adaptor??

It's a long shot but you could try the batch file below. It relies on
devcon.exe which you can download from here:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/1/f/11f7dd10-272d-4cd2-896f-9ce67f3e0240/devcon.exe.
Do not retype the code - use copy & paste, then set the correct name of your
NIC.

@echo off
goto Start
---------------------------------------------------
Use this batch file to enable or disable a device
from the Command Prompt.
16.4.2006 FNL
---------------------------------------------------
:Start
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set Adapter=Broadcom NetXtreme Fast Ethernet

if /i "%1"=="enable" goto go
if /i "%1"=="disable" goto go
echo Syntax: Device enable / disable
goto :eof

:go
set HWID=x
set count=0
set found=no

devcon hwids "PCI\*" > c:\device.txt
for /F "tokens=*" %%* in (c:\device.txt) do (
set /a count=!count! + 1
if /i "%%*"=="Name: %Adapter%" set found=yes& set count=1
if !found!==yes if !count!==3 set HWID=%%*
)
if %found%==yes (
echo HWID=!HWID!
devcon %1 "!HWID!"
) else (
echo Device "%Adapter%" not found.
)
endlocal
del c:\device.txt

Thanks, but I found another BAT file online that
fixed it. Did a reconfigure on cryptographic services.

Fascinating stuff. What baffles me is how you could make a connection
between your inability to disable a network adapter and the cryptographic
services. The two subjects seem totally unrelated to me.

According to the one that made the script: "it seems that this error is
caused by corruption in the db or problems with registered DLL files
required by the service"
