Default "Use Windows to Configure Wireless Network" not working properly

Hi,

In the Wireless Network Connection Properties box under the Wireless
Networks tab, there is a checkbox available for "Use Windows to configure my
wireless network settings." In the past this box was checked and stayed
checked all the time even if I rebooted, restarted, etc.. Starting a few
weeks
ago whenever I reboot, startup, etc. by default this box is now always
unchecked and I have to go in and recheck it each time; usually twice before
it will stick.

What's making this box uncheck itself and how do I get it to stay checked
again?

Thanks!
Mark

Have you updated your wireless card drivers? They often enable the vendors
software as the contrller of wireless networks.

I have been pdating the drivers and just did it again. I do have the latest
versions, yet the problem still occured.
