Advanced Networking Service stopped working

[KarlK]

Almost every day I get a pop-up saying "Advanced Networking Service stopped working and was closed. A problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available".

Any ideas as to how I can figure out what is causing this? What is the impact of it stopping? I haven't noticed anything yet. My system is a Dell Studio Desktop running Vista 64.

Disable the Advanced Networking Service under services.msc(1st service in the services list) and restart your computer.

Thanks, dinesh, for the message. But what is the impact of the Advanced Networking Service not running? What is it used for?
Thanks.

All i know that on some OEM systems like Dell, they keep this service for their own softwares which keeps some bandwidth for their own purpose.
