    Hi all,

    Well I "upgraded" :D to Windows XP Pro since Vista is a memory hog and just does not perform really well in some games.

    All is excellent, game performance is really awesome under XP Pro, but the only thing "broken" right now is that I just can't turn off WiFi at all, I can turn off the Bluetooth radio but Wifi just sticks there. It's not a dealbreaker for me right now, but I would like to know if there's something missing there?

    I installed all XP drivers needed to control my G1 features.

    Any ideas?

    TIA!

    Click the WiFi card in the tray and hit disable.

    Well, thanks ZaZ, I know that one but I guess that's not really the way it should work right? :)

    I tried to reinstall the wifi/bluetooth control app but still no go.

    Thanks anyway ZaZ! ;)

    Any other ideas of why it's not working?

    TIA!
