Anyone have Windows XP

How do I get the little balloons that come up from the systray to stop (every minute or so, I get a balloon saying my wireless connection is connected).

1. i think this would work

start -> settings -> network connections
right click on the connection you're using (like local-area connection, unless it's different on wireless), properties, un-check boxes at the bottom, "show icon..." and "notify me..." That would remove the icon entirely from the bar, possibly just clearing the 2nd one would stop the balloons.

4. Looks like that did the trick

Thanks, it was driving me bananas.

2. Your connection might be a little unstable. Are you

connected to a router?

6. Connected through a router

I know the connection has issues...but I did get rid of the popup balloons (happy dance).

8. Where is your router placed with respect to your computer?

Also, have you done updates for Windows and the router?

9. Downstairs on the other side of the house

all is updated, both firmware and Windoze...May need to get a signal strength amplifier...

it is 802.11b, so it is a little old.

10. You might have to get an amplifier. Also 2.8G phones

,if near by, also interfere.

11. Do 5.7 GHz phones interfere?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

12. Not sure ........... Maybe. I'll take a look. On Edit:

No I haven't found anything. But it's worth a try to move the phone away from the computer and see if anything changes.

15. Will try that before I buy the amplifier!

3. Try this

Go to DOS and type: C:/harddrive/destroy/erase/burn/kill/selfdestruct/code1A1A/codeb2b2/code3c3/ignite/ignite/ignite/

On second thought, don't.

5. First thing I did was get rid of that annoying popup person/dog

wizard or "bob" or dog or whatever that really annoying creature was that wanted to tell me what I was doing whenever I did something. I got to stop using so much computer language when I got rid of it (computer language being cuss words and shut the * up go die in hell you dirty *9&^#)*(#).

"Oh, you found the mouse. Congratulations. Move it a little and click on something and see what happens. Experiment!" die in hell you creature shut the f* up...mutter mutter mutter

7. That popup dog is the worst

Got rid of him a long time ago.

Also got rid of the stupid paper clip in Office.

14. Too bad you got rid of the pop up dog.

He could've told you how to get rid of the little balloons!
