In my device mananger I have a yellow exclamtion mark ( not a question mark) under my Network adapters sub menu, it states Microsoft Tun Miniport Adapter #2

Any ideas what this is as if I try and un-install it it states that it is needed for the PC to boot.
I have tried re-installing it but no joy.

Any help greatly apreciated.

It's a network driver that provides a tunnel with a File API interface, through which a user-mode Windows application or service can interact with the network stack as if the application were a network interface.

According to MS Wink

The exclamation mark usually means you don't have the correct drivers or it has a conflict with another device on your computer.

I finally got rid of it by going into regedit and then right clicking on the entry selecting security permissions and setting my admin account to my user account, then I could delete it.

remember that deleting things you don't know or that don't work is always a safe thing to do, you never know if you need it for something.... Roll Eyes

You will notice it soon enough after deleting it...

And if it is critical, your neighbors will also notice it...
