Guest Steve2603 Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I just installed service pack 3 on my XP pro setup. after several attempts I finally managed to get the update succesfully installed. However now that it's running (applications seem to work fine) I notice that my network icons (cable and wireless) have dissapeared and when I try to look at devices in device manager the page is blank... no devices showing at all.. Hardware is a Sony Vaio PCG-Z1RSP laptop. ideas anyone? Thanks...
