windows xp Network Adapter Status Not Healthy

[News Bot]

I had been using IE as my browser in Windows XP and had just changed to Chrome about an hour & a half before the following happened:

 

I was online, and suddenly a window popped up with some kind of warning which I didn't understand.  I am not very computer savvy.  I do remember it said something to the effect that if this happened again, I would need to resolve the problem (in more technical

language, of course.)  About that time another window came up with an update to Adobe and when I clicked to install it, I found out that I was no longer online and couldn't get back online.  I am using Windows 7 now on another computer and am wireless on both

computers.

 

I ran the diagnostic test and got the above message, that "network adapter status not healthy."  Can anyone please help me or tell me if this is too complicated for a beginner.  Thanks.  wannierob
