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 "Steve Winograd [MVP]" wrote: In article , "David" wrote: I am using Windows XP Home Edition on a Sharp Laptop. I've got a built-in wirless connection. I tested a USB 802.11b adapter, before giving it to a 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. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups. Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Program http://mvp.support.microsoft.com |
