Hi DukeNukeum,
Try to uncheck it on the start up of your computer. Also, if you don't want to use the Genie, you may uninstall it.
Thanks I will try that then. If I have any more problems I'll be sure to post on here again.:smileyhappy:

Actually that solution above didn't resolve the problem. In regards to checking it off since I couldn't find the part on the computer to do that. And I don't want to uninstall the genie since I need it on the computer since my desktop doesn't have wifi built into it like later models since mine is from 2007. But I think I will just let it go. It is not that big of a deal anyway. So I will just say solved then. Thanks for your help.
