I had a unknown device in System Hardware Device Manager. I uninstalled the A Wan Miniport adapter and the unknown device was removed. I upgraded from windows 98SE to Windows XP and the Unknown Device reappeared without the Wan Miniport Adapter.The Unknown Device was related to ACPI or Advanced Configuration Power Interface. I try to uninstall this component and I lost my internet connection. I did not see the Wan Miniport Adapter in Network Connections though either. I am going to try Administrative Tools Component Sevices and stop the service. I am going to see what services are dependent on it

Die kommt von AOL 8.0 und ist Harmlos, aber nervig ist die schon, wenn die immer im Autostart drinne ist!

wanmpsvc.exe is a part of the America Online, so if AOL is used, this should not be touched
