(Windows cannot configure this wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to manage this wireless connection, use that software.)

That is the message in the WINDOW of WIRELESS CONNECTION. I was using internet last night when I turned off computer. Booted up today and the message above is all I get. No internet. Where should I go from here? I tried to fix IT.

Hi cjh44,

The error message can mean that your hardware manufacturer has provided you with its own software to wireless as an alternative configuration to Windows Wireless Auto-Configuration service.

I suggest you follow the steps below.

Use Windows to configure wireless settings
Step 1: Go to the start menu and select run
Step 2: Type ncpa.cpl, and then click OK to open the menu of the network connections
Step 3: Select your wireless service and choose the option change settings of this connection.
Step 4: Go to the wireless networks tab and check use Windows to configure my wireless network

Launch Windows Zero Configuration
Step 5: go back to the start menu and select run
Step 6: Type % SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc/s, and then click OK
Step 7: Double-click the Wireless Auto Configuration option
Step 8: Then go to the startup type list and click Automatic. Click on apply to confirm the changes
Step 9: That's why click Start in the Service status section and then click OK to apply the changes.

Hope this information is useful.

    ": windows cannot configure this wireless connection if you have enabled another program to configure this wireless connection, use that software."
    It's a toshiba n205.  When I right click on the wireless network printer it says that it is the firewall disabled. so I'm going to allow it and it still does not work. I don't understand because it seems that the firewall was working aok before restarting. I change all of the settings.

    I solved this problem by changing the setting to allow windows to establish the network connection, I guess it is made by toshiba software. If anyone knows WHY this would be the case, why all of a sudden we would lose the connection, would be useful.

  • "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection".

    I (birthday gift) a laptop Dell Inspiron 1011 with Windows XP Home Edition.  It has a "Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini Card".  It works wirelessly at home but when far and try using WiFi access points, if I am looking for available networks, it comes up with "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection".  (She also comes up with this message at home if I search for the network, but works OK on everything that I established House).  I searched online and found a "fix" of Microsoft, but when I tried to use a time warning that "this type of file can harm my computer" so I gave up.

    Another area, I looked explained that the software other than Windows ensured control WiFi and it was not recommended to disable it.  (No doubt, it was the Dell software?)

    I'm very PC not literate and would appreciate any help very simple!

    Hi sligo123

    You can find this a bit confusing link.  I suggest that you enable the automatic configuration service (service Windows uses to control the wireless, rather than the Dell software).  Heres how:

    1. click on start, then run

    2. in the box, type C:/Windows\system32\services.msc/s

    3. click on OK

    4. in the window that appears, you should have a full range of services, scroll down until you find Windows Zero Configuration - double click on it

    5. in the box, make sure that the automatic option is selected in the drop-down list box.  Then click on the Start button.

    Try and then try to connect to the wireless network (you may have to connect to your home network)

    If this does not help, please post back here and we can try something else.

    Kind regards

  • 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.

  • Issues with Dell desktop computer wireless and D-Link wireless network card. Only able to get wireless access by checking "Use Windows to configure my wireless network". This kind of file sharing impossible.

    original title: can't see the computer on wireless internet!

    I hope that's not too much detail, but I would like that the sequence of events to be clear...

    I have a Dell desktop computer that's probably six or seven years now.  It did not come with a wireless card, so I bought a DLink router and combo card wireless, install both with the DLink software.  It works beautifully.

    Later, we through my rep AT & T DSL, I got a Motorola modem/router with wireless capabilities.  I had plugged directly on my computer Dell desktop and moved to a Dell laptop DLink wireless receiver.  No problems.

    The Dell laptop is dead and the DLink receiver has not been used for a long time.  Family of my daughter moved to our place, and I have connected his desktop computers and laptop to wireless internet, using the Windows Connection Wizard.  Still no problem.

    I got a new ASUS laptop, I also linked using the Windows Wizard.  STILL no problem.

    Now, here's the problem comes.  I moved the Dell desktop computer, connected the DLink wireless receiver to it and I am able to get wireless access ONLY when I go into the properties of PC, click the wireless networks tab and check the "use Windows to configure my wireless network" box.  Then I can connect correctly, but I don't see this computer on my wireless network.  Bad luck... because I want to be able to access share files.  When I try to connect using different assistants of Windows, I get a message to the effect that, if I used another software to connect to the program, I can't use the Windows Wizard.

    So, what can I do to remove the original configuration of DLink completely and to connect to my wireless network using the wizards in Windows?  I uninstalled the software of DLink, but it seems to have no effect at all.

    BTW, Dell desktop computer is running XP, office computer of my daughter is running VISTA, and two laptops are equipped with Windows 7.  I can see all the computers on the network with the exception of the original Dell desktop computer wireless.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Windows 7 no sound at all

    Hello

    I would like to ask help for Win 7 problem 'No audio '.

    I have a Win 7 64-bit Professional desktop PC. It has a motherboard Asus P5Q - EM.
    Previously, everything worked very well over a year, but now there is no sound at all. I see a little red x in addition to the speacer icon.

    I got a craphics card problem and it has been replaced, and shortly after, I didn't notice that no audio problem.

    First of all, I tried to fix the external audio card drivers - no help. Then I thought to use the motherboard
    audio only and removed the external audio card. I have cheked Bios that there is audio compatible motherboard.
    Windows Manager device shows Audio Realtek High Definetion. (Once I reinstalled externally
    audio card, but did not get it to work and I deleted again and focused on getting the Audio motherboard
    work.)

    Through the Device Manager, I uninstalled the device Audio from Realtek motherboard and all other audio related devices and start the PC.
    After you start Windows 7 detects audio devices well and tries to install the drivers but still said the driver installation failed.

    I also used the troubleshooter in Windows 7. According to the material and audio, I clicked on the audio playback troubleshooting. The system has tried to install the drivers, but all have failed in similar way as after rebootig.

    When I go to see the Audio the Realtek High Defenetion properties, it says:
    Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

    I downloaded the latest drivers (some 54 Mb file called: 64bit_Vista_Win7_R267) Realtek www-site and run it, but no help. Same problem - no sound at all.

    If I run application system information and go to the "components" > "Problem Devices", it is said Realtek High Definition Audio, error code: failure using the VxD loader. It is also noted on the VAN Miniport (IKEv2), error code: this device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.

    I also unplug the beam of the motherboard front audio jack. I thought it may create a connector related issues, but he did not make a difference.

    If I ask the system to update the driver using Device Manager, it says that the piloted is up-to-date.

    I checked the details Realteck Sound Device in the Device Manager and it says under the number "Problem code" 13.

    Also other devices under device 'Video controls and sound game' managers do not work. I uninstalled all the. After reboot Windows 7 detects all the. Win 7 tries to install the drivers, but always fails and yellow! singing appears next to all devices.

    Under the NIC in Device Manager there is another device with the yellow! sign as well. The WAN Miniport (IKE v2). I don't know if it has something to do with this audio problem? Win 7 detects it as well after uninstalling and tries to install drivers after the start, but is also always fails.

    Now, I'm confused and I don't know if the problem is really in the Windows registry database? What is error code 13 of Realtek Audio device and what is actually the VxD loader problem?

    I'm completely lost on how to proceed with this problem.

    Can someone give advice on how to continue with this question...
