You running the network control panel as an administrator?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am unable to change my network card properties in Vista.<br />
Every time I open the network card Properties I get the message...<br />
<br />
Local Network<br />
Some of the controls on this property sheet are disabled because one or more other Network property sheets are already open. To use these controls, close all these property sheets and then reopen this one.<br />
<br />
The problem is that nothing is open. I've rebooted and the first thing I click on is the network icon in the system try and go to &nbsp;Network and Sharing center &gt;&nbsp;Manage network connnections &gt;&nbsp;Right click on my network card and select Properties.... and I still get the message.<br />
<br />
How can I get around that?

Vista - Unable to change IP address?!?!

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
