    Previously, when i turned my laptop on it had these 2 grey lines that when i clicked on it, it had the option to turn the lan off/on. I was getting rid of some programs when i start up but i accidentally got rid of this icon. How do i get it back?

    Any help would be great.

    It's a good choose to disable Boot programs from "Boot" menu of MSCONFIG
    (run MSCONGIF from prompt) So, you can go back, re-enabling them..
    Anyway, it should be the Sony Vaio Smart Network Utility, the executable is "LANutil.exe"

    Ive tried that, but the only programs that are in the list are the ones that are running.

    I tried searching it on my laptop and opened it but it just came up with a white box in the middle of the screen. Tried installing it again and it came up with an error. Hmmmm, might just leave it?
