hi.. this time I'm actually writing on the behalf of my boyfriend. each time he turns on his computer, it starts up completely normal, but when the desktop and the icons appear on the screen, he always gets a small window saying "NO ADAPTER FOUND", and then there's the OK button below it. I don't understand it, neither does he. it seems to do no harm, and the computer is working just fine. does anyone have a clue what this is about?? thnx
