if that doesn't cure it open a command prompt and type in the following

netsh int reset all

but first try right clicking on the item with a red cross in it and clicking on "Enable"

although, in retrospect, the fact that it was listed in the ipconfig listing would indicate that windows thought it was running, and therefore can't be in a disabled state...

when you doubleclick it, is there an error listed?
