Windows wireless service is not running on this computer

I have a Gateway laptop running 32-bit Vista SP2 I can't connect to wireless networks. One day, I had no problems and the next, I am unable to find all the networks.  When I try to connect to a network, I get a message that Windows cannot find any network.  When diagnosing why link is clicked I get an error dialog box "Windows Wireless Service is not running on this computer. When the Windows network diagnostics dialogue box I click on 'Start Windows Wireless Service' and then told me that Windows cannot resolve the problem and ask contact me my network administrator or ISP.

I tried several fixes of different forums and nothing has worked.  I ran the antivirus scans that have not found anything.  Y at - it a fix for this problem?

Hello

  • No wireless networks not found on laptop - the WiFi windows service does not work on this computer

    Hello

    I have a laptop model Toshiba P205-56347 running Vista home premium and a lynksis WRT54G V8 router model.  The WLAN light is solid and the internet light flashes on the Linksys.  I have Comcast cable as my ISP.

    I've seen reported similar problems.  All of a sudden my wirless acess stopped working, some networks are displayed and I get the message 'windows wireless service does not work on the computer.  I am not able to restart the windows wireless.  I can't connect to the internet on the laptop.  I have a DELL PC and can access the internet here if necessary.

    In the network and Discovery Center, I see that network discovery is disabled.  I can't set it to on.

    Under system devices, I have the following network cards: Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN and Realtek RTL8101 Family PCI - E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS6.0).

    Help, please.  I'd appreciate any help.  I need a good starting point for resolution and wouldn't start using suggestions that corrects other issues.  I design financial systems and purchase online, but I'm not a technical person with regard to updates Vista, drivers, etc..

    Thank you! After reviewing the responses to similar problems, can anyone suggest if I should try one of the following values: 1. run SCF/scannow at the command prompt I don't know what that's going to fix it and do not want to make the current problem worse. 2. download the driver for the network drivers. If you would be grateful if someone could help me find the driver and download it. 3 reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 since the restoration of Toshiba CD I would appreciate greatly any information. Donna

    Hi blondswede,

    You can try running sfc/scannow to see if you have corrupted files. That won't be a further problem on your pc. After that, you want to make sure you have the latest drivers for your laptop, especially drivers of the NIC (network card). Go to the following link to Toshiba for your model and download those:

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/modelContent.jsp?CT=SB&OS=&category=&MOID=1757721&RPN=PSPB3U&modelFilter=P205-S6347&selCategory=3&selFamily=1073768663

    If you're still having problems, and it has recently emerged as a problem, you can try to restore your system to a point in time before the problem started to use the system restore. Here are the steps to follow:

      1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
      2. In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
      3. In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
      4. Click Finish.

      The System Restore tool

      If the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

      To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

      The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  • Wireless connection error - error 193:Oxc1 - Windows wireless service does not work

    I have a Dell Studio XPS until yesterday worked fine. I plug in a memory (USB) card and that's when the problem occurred.

    Today when I started, it connect to internet via WiFi. The map shows in Device Manager and are passed through controls to enable the automatic. Wired connection is not a problem that's just a very long Ethernet run and WiFi was better. I have other computers on the network, there is a problem with what I think is that the registry is corrupted. It seems that the Wireless LAN and audio are butting heads as the audio is displayed as an X when I try to fix the connection.

    On the bottom bar on Windows 7, it shows a signal with an X on it. Help, please!

    Hello

    Please perform a clean boot mode, press Windows key + R on your keyboard and type services.msc. Access to services that are defined as disabled and edit them in the manual.

    Restart your computer (stay in a clean boot) and return to services.msc. Do not open any other application or browser. Any device that is set to automatic, but it is not started, change its startup type to manual. Any application that is manual, but is started, the change automatically.

    I also recommend that run you check disk, to check for any errors/bad hard disk sectors.

  • Vista - Windows Update Service is not running

    My Windows Update does not update and when I try to run it the answer is that the service is not running.  But when I do a reboot it does not change and I still can't update.  Help!

    How to reset the Windows Update settings?
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058 Harold Horne / TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2011. The information has been provided * being * with no guarantee or warranty.

  • Why Windows Update service does not work on my computer?

    After a few months of not be used, my Toshiba Satellite L35 (Windows Vista Home Basic; Computer laptop Service Pack 2) can not access Microsoft Updates.  Whenever I try, I get a message "the service is not running" and tells me to restart, I did several times without success.  Norton 360, and Spybot, indicates no problems.

    It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process.  "Update history" produces a blank page.

    After a few months of not be used, my Toshiba Satellite L35 (Windows Vista Home Basic; Computer laptop Service Pack 2) can not access Microsoft Updates.  Whenever I try, I get a message "the service is not running" and tells me to restart, I did several times without success.  Norton 360, and Spybot, indicates no problems.

    It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process.  "Update history" produces a blank page.

    Suggestion 1: Get rid of Norton and Spybot Search and Destroy.  I do not recommend Norton/McAfee products, especially the suites (I recommend NO suites - simple is better.)  Spybot has been a good product, but a few years back, he just stopped doing as well.

    Suggestion 2 (cumulative, not necessarily independent - but maybe): cleaning of your Windows Update stuff...

    All the following items in the order shown - no matter what protection against that, you think you have.

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    Reset.

    Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update:
    How to reset the Windows Update components?

    Reset.

    Try to get updates.

    If it still does not work, try this...

    1. Start an elevated command prompt.
    2. Run the following commands pressing on enter after each line:

      net stop wuauserv

      CD %SystemRoot%\System32

      Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

      net start wuauserv

    3. Reset
    4. Try to reinstall updates

    * Important * When you do this, the following problems occur:

    • Updates that are currently downloaded but which have not yet been installed must be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
    • When you remove the Software Distribution folder, your download history is deleted.
    • If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and Windows Update, you will need to reselect this option from the Windows Update Web site.


    * Note *
    if the problem is resolved and you can successfully download and install the updates, you can delete the directory SoftwareDistribution.old to recover disk space.

    STILL no?

    Use this FixIt:
    How to get the latest version of the Windows Update Agent

    Reset.

    Save components WU:

    1. Start an elevated command prompt.
    2. Run the following commands pressing on enter after each line:
      regsvr32 Jscript.dll
      regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll

    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll

    Reset.

    Try updates.

    If it still does not work after this - say parts of the former post once again (no need to conduct a new analysis of malware) from:

    "Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update:

    ... but stopping at... «STILL no?'.»»

    Back - let everyone know what is happening.
