No icons in Network connections folder Hema 12/19/2008 10:19:01 PM I installed XP Professional over XP home OS on a dell desktop since I did not have the disk for XP Home edition and after that, I cannot connect to the network. I cannot see any icons in the Network connections folder and when I tried to look at the devices in the device manager, I dont even see the "network adapters" device icon there. Can someone please help me with this.??
