I installed Windows 7 64 bit yesterday. The installation went well, but when I am connected to the internet, the network icon on the taskbar says that I am not connected (has a red X through it). When I click on the icon, it shows the correct network
and shows that I am connected.
I tried to delete the connection and then reconnect but it still reads incorrectly.
