ROM and Firmware is current. I can only access Network Connections while in Safe Mode - in Safe Mode I can configure, or remove NIC drivers. Booted normaly, the session locks as soon as Network Connections menu is highlighted. My thought is to remove HP Network Configuration Utility to see if there is a conflict. How can I remove NCU other that from Windows Network Connections folder.
