red X when you hover network icon

After much hair pulling and soul searching (Why or why did I purchas
Windows Vista?), I came up with the following solution for when th
Windows Vista network connection icon has a red x in it and states
“Connection status: Unknown Server execution failed” on mouse hover, an
the Network and Sharing center won’t open. 1. Go to Start > Run > cmd
2. Copy/paste the following line and hit your Enter key: Net localgrou
Administrators localservice /add 3. Reboot your computer

I had no problem whatsoever setting up a network from my notebook running
Vista with my desktop running XP. Don't have a clue about your situation
since you give no details. Don't blame Vista.
