OK, I know I'm little nuts... aren't we all?... but this has been bugging me since I installed Vista and maybe you guys know if there's anything I can do about it.
It's the network activity icon near the clock... I much prefer to know the exact activity of my PC and the internet/network PC.... in WinXP this icon would flash in tune with which computer was doing the "talking". This helped me many times figure out if it was an issue on my end or on the internet end depending on how the lights would flash. Not exact, but I used it as a quick guide.
...but in Vista, the icon seems to just have a simple animation that repeats over and over (I've turned on "enable activity animation).
The icon has gone from something usefull (telling me which computer was sending data... to just being a simple animation that only animates when there's overall network activity.
So.... anyway if getting the older more acurate activity animation back?... or would this require a third party download now?
Thanks for any tips,
TK.
