Wireless Zero Configuration missing

Hi, don't know if anyone can help.

I've followed the instructions below and have the problem that once I get to
the point of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\WZCSVC

there is no WZCSVC for me to go into.

Help please!

Thanks

Chris

friend. It worked fine, so I gave it away, then removed the drivers.

Now, Windows is saying that it cannot configure my built-in wireless
network, because the Wireless Zero Configuration service is not started. I
followed the instructions in the KB article 871122, up to the point where I
tried to start the service. The service does NOT appear in the services list,
so I can't "double click" on it.

I've also tried to manually start the service by running "svchost.exe -k
netsrvc" but that didn't work either. Help! How can I get the service
restarted?

The configuration programs for some wireless network adapters delete
the Wireless Zero Configuration service. Try this fix:

1. Run the registry editor.

2. Open this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\WZCSVC

3. Create a DWORD value named "Start" and set it to 2.

Hi
So make one and add the Dword Start with the right value.
