Cannot detect wireless networks or start the autoconfiguration Wlan service

I locked my phone on thanksgiving day and came back later that night and connected... and my Wifi wasn't working. It shows all the available networks.

-I am still able to connect to the internet via the Ethernet cable
-My wifi switch is in the on position
-In the Device Manager it says that it is WORKING CORRECTLY
-It displays a red x in the taskbar, indicating that theres no link and no network available
-When I go to control panel > network and Internet > network and sharing Center Center it is completely empty, nothing is there... only 4 icons... nothing else.
-It does not show the button wireless in Windows Mobility Center more
-J' bought a Linksys wireless adapter and it will not work unless I have activated the wireless network Manager windows... which I am not either.
-J' uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers from the Web from Toshiba site
-J' did a system restore and it didn't

-My modem works fine

-Other home computers are able to connect to wireless modem

This is what it says when I try to start Wlan AutoConfig 0xc00ce508:0xc00ce508 of error «Windows failed to start service autoconfiguration WLAN on local computer»

I did a 'sfc/scannow' in the administrator command prompt and it said "protection of resources windows found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them"

Nothing works.

Please help me, it drives me crazy. Thank you very much in advance :)

Hello

If everything checked OK wise network, and you have mentioned before: ' sfc/scannow' in the command as administrator prompt and it said "windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to trouble".

It is perhaps that some kernel files are corrupted and cannot be updated.

Refresh the Installation of XP.

To be safe, back up your data and some special stuff to a flash drive.

----------------------------------

Boot from the original XP CD. Pass the first screen offering Console repair and proceed as if you install a new XP.

After accepting etc., the new Setup screen lights up and would detect the current XP installation.

You have an option to press R to repair.

Use it, would take about 45 min. and you would an Installation of XP refresh all by keeping your Application, data and XP configuration.

P.S. If you have made changes to the WinXP definition (special permission as firewall) security to look on them after the update because they could go back to the default value.

    Most laptops have a switch that turns the wifi radio on or off.  Often, it is a combination of the Fn key and one of the F keys.  It may be a physical switch somewhere on the laptop.  See your manual for details.

    If this isn't the problem...

    What is the brand and model of your router?  Almost all wifi routers also have at least one Ethernet port, you can connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet cable and download the right driver for your http://www.asus.com/support wireless card
    Have you tried to "Roll back driver" in the "Driver" tab of your adapter wifi 'properties' in Device Manager?  At the very least, determine which version of the driver is installed, and compare that to the current version on the asus support site.

    My computer screen suddenly went black this evening - the monitor was still, the fans were still humming, but it was totally insensitive.

  • Satellite T135D - cannot detect wireless networks

    I bought a T135D early January.
    Everything was happy until one day my laptop decides it cannot detect wireless networks, and even less to connect to one.
    I don't think the T135 came with a manual switch, while in the BIOS it says it's on.

    The graph with the antenna and 4 bars charge is no longer at startup, or the light that lights up on the front of my laptop. It's frustrating to have this kind of problem so early in the game with the T135D.

  • Intel WiFi Link 5100 network card - cannot detect wireless networks

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-1270us. My wireless card is an Intel WiFi Link 5100.

    Running Windows Vista 64 bit, Ubuntu Linux, Linux Mint and Fedora Linux (various versions, all), the wireless works fine. My desktop computers to work with wireless cards to connect to the network work very well, and all computers (except mine) to connect to my home network very well; which means that it is not a problem with wireless networks, or with my network card. I try to manually connect to the network, but it can't find it. Diagnosis requires that the card is disabled, and that I should turn it on via the switch on my laptop running: fact.

    During the installation of Windows 7 64 bit, I cannot see wireless networks (and therefore unable to connect). Re-formated and reinstalled again, check the wireless connectivity between each batch of Windows Update, but it has never worked.

    I downloaded the latest drivers from Intel, via Microsoft Compatibility Center (version 15.2.0 driver).

    There is no system restore option because he has never worked as a first step, except in all other OS, I got on the computer. Microsoft Compatibility says the map is compatible, then Device Manager shows no problems. The network adapter is active via switch on my laptop.

    Happy that you guessed it sorted!

  • Installed wireless Belkin, unable to see network, get error windows cannot configure this wireless connection and starting the WZC abuse

    Hello

    I have a belkin wireless router that worked on my primary computer and a portable computer for years.

    Recently, I moved my main computer and now it dosnt seem to work. Belkin is installed but when I ask to see available networks, it says that windows cannot configure this wireless connection and starting the WZC abuse. Belkin still works fine on my laptop so I know no there is not a problem here. Can someone help me please? I tried to type in %SystemRoot%\system32\services.mcs\s as with a question of people, but all I get is windows can't find this.

    Any ideas please?

    Thank you

    * original title - Help... problem with belkin wireless *.

    Let's see if I can cut through it.

    You wrote:

    Click the Wireless Networks (see this picture) - I did

    Is the box 'Use Windows to configure my wireless network' checked or unchecked? There is no such box.

    I connect using - he says belkin. another box saying this connection uses the following items. then underneath there are 3 tabs - install, uninstall and properties. If I press on properties it says name provider and in this box, it says windows index.

    It seems that you don't have not clicked the "Wireless networks" tab, after you open the properties of your wireless adapter.  From your description, you look at the 'Général' tab: click HERE to see the "Général" tab Click HERE to see the 'Wireless Networks' tab.

    There are 5 columns: name, description, status, startup type and log as.  The values for the last 3 columns should be started, automatic and Local System - on my screen there are 4 tabs at the top - general, connect you, recovery and dependency.

    You skipped a step... 5 columns are in the 'Services' window initial... you arrive at "4 tabs at the top", AFTER you double-click the Wireless Auto Configuration.

    Status of the service which includes 4 boxes. stop suspend and resume. the button highlighted in the start menu

    Just to the right of the expression "Service status", you should see a Word.  On your system, this word probably is "stopped."  The 4 buttons (boxes) are how to control the service.  Because you said that the highlighted button is 'start' which means that the service is currently stopped, and you will need to click on this button "start" to start.

    I strongly suspect that you had used the Belkin utility to control your adapter - and now, you also started WZC.  As I wrote above, you can have both running at the same time.

    When you click the icon of your "Belkin", do you have a screen that looks like this: http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/img/2006/belkinn1/08.jpg

    If so, you should return to the utility Services and 'Stop' the automatic configuration service.  If you want to use WZC instead of the Belkin utility, see http://en-us-support.belkin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/40/related/1

    I'm not familiar with the Belkin Wireless networking utility, but many wifi manufacturer utilities can be used to turn your wifi on and off, then maybe your was off (the adapter on your computer - not the router).  If you identify the model of the card you have in your main computer, I'll see if I can find the manual on the Belkin website and maybe give you a little more information.

  • 'Detected wireless networks' followed by 'no wireless networks were found in range ".

    Trying to help a friend with their laptop!  It's a Lenovo R61i laptop model A 8932, 54, around the age of 16 months.  WIN/XP SP3 is the only OS.  He was working on this wireless network until they are gone on vacation and tried to connect to public wireless networks! Their daughter portable computer continues to operate properly with this wireless network, and it also shows the neighborhood wireless networks as well.  The R61i has a built-in 'Pro\wireless Intel 3945ABG Network ' wireless wireless adapter.

    Connectivity and internet access works very well through the ethernet port.

    Here's what I've done so far:

    He has Norton AV.  I made sure that it was up to date and then ran a full system scan.  It was clean.

    Any help will be appreciated, and I WILL ANSWER about the results!

    Windows Update ran (after I got it work - see below) for all critical updates.

    Fact a "repair" on the wireless connection with these results:

    • Wireless networks detected
    • No wireless networks were found in range
    • Windows could not finish repairing the problem because it is impossible to perform the following action: connect to the wireless network

    That when the laptop is 5 feet of the wireless router.  It is a Dlink
    Updated the driver from Lenovo web site by the support of the Intel boards:

    • former pilot was 11.1.1.11
    • new driver is 12.4.0.21 with a date of 04/03/2009

    Went into the BIOS and reset the BIOS to its original, saved and reloaded settings.

    Checked the Device Manager.  Everything looks OK, no yellow or red devices

    Remove the network card and let Windows re - create.

    Disabled and enabled the network card

    Check the event logs.  The only entrance is on the system log.  I don't know if this event log entry is significant or not, but it's here:

    Source: NETw5x32, zero category, event 7036.
    The service entered the \DEVICE\{78E5EBB6-A194-4E9F-A840-E05CC39A5823} State.

    0028: 57 44 52 56 00 00 00 e7

    I have not yet tried it raise in "Safe Mode with networking".

    I would add that "Windows Update" was also not working. Graduation: A few updates have not been installed.  Error code 0 x 41. I had going in downloading and installing the latest version of Windows Installer 3.1, version 3.1.4001.5512

    Do not think that there is a relationship between these two issues, but stranger things have happened.

    The laptop has a 3-year extended warranty and I'm about to throw it in the face of Lenovo as a hardware error.  The thing that blows my mind is 'Detected wireless networks' followed by 'no wireless networks were found in range ".

    Hi Shawn

    Thank you for your help.  Here is the final solution to this problem.

    The "clean boot" you suggested worked as described, but it had no effect of awareness of wireless networks.  Ditto to start in "Safe Mode with network.  We took the laptop to Office Depot; They basically ran the same tests that I did, with the same results.  Their technology has managed to get it to connect to Wireless store by manually setting, but it would not show under 'view available networks '.  He suggested that we call their 800 support number.  The only novelty with that phone support guy came was to "Ping 127.0.0.1" which I don't think inherent in the wireless somehow.  He wanted me to call Comcast to check the internet connection.  Under the principle of "do not create a new problem while you're working on a problem", I resisted to go here as two other computers work fine on this connection from Comcast.

    We finally opted for a full charge of Windows.  This included a blue key on the laptop at boot to bring up "Rescue and recovery", then by specifying 'Restore my hard drive to the original factory condition' and "don't save all files" - we have previously saved the contents of "My Documents" on a USB key.  This charge really don't take as much time as I thought he might; only about an hour.  Most importantly - WIRELESS NETWORKS APPEAR NOW; and connect as it should!  We had to apply SP3 as reloading he brought back to SP2 status.

    I guess the lesson here is that sometimes he just reload Windows is the shortest possible solution to some of these mysterious problems.

    I had a hard time to convince me it was a hardware problem, when the system detects wireless networks but are simply not them!

    Thanks again for your help.

    This problem occurs because the Windows operating system does not automatically recover when a WPA2 ad hoc network connection times out. A time-out may occur if one of the following conditions is true:

    • Windows Vista or Windows 7 detects no activity.
    • There is a charge of busy network traffic.
    • Network device drivers are outdated.

    Method 1:

    Run the network troubleshooter, and update the driver wireless on the manufacturer's Web site.

    Reference:

    Wireless and wired network problems

    Method 2: You can perform the steps described in the article and check out them.
