I recently transfered a hard drive to another computer. I unistalled all drivers before i moved it. Both MBs use Nvidia drivers. Since then the computer works perfect except for one thing. Under "network connections" there are no icons. Therefore I cannot change the properties.
The internet is working fine. The NIC has the proper drivers and is displayed under "device manager" as installed and working. When I run IP config it is being assigned a ip from DHCP.
I searched microsoft support and performed a lot of suggestions they had but still I cannot get the icons to show.
The only thing I have found that is unusual is the name of my network connection. Im sure it was "Local area connection" before. Using netsh I discovered the connection is now named "{05d800d5-01ff-4e3c-a3f4-1631600b162b}". Doing a registry search I find it mentioned many times. When I search for the old name ""Local area connection" I find it in 2 places. The new name,"{05d800d5-01ff-4e3c-a3f4-1631600b162b}", is not mentioned in either place. "Local area connection 2" is also listed.
It seems like deleting some keys or renameing the connection might work. So far I have been unable to rename it. Any help would really be appreciated.
I would just reformat and start but this computer is configured with a lot of programs and it takes days to set up again. Thank you.
