My Wireless Tab has disappeared!

Setting up a new wireless networking card; I get to the point where I right
click the connection in order to configure the SSID WEP key etc and that tab
is missing. (The one you have to check to allow windows to configure the
wireles connection).How can I get it back? I refreshed my windows update
including (finally) installing serive pack 2 but that did not cure the
problem.
Thanks

You probably have to decide you want to use WZC instead of any included
utility to config/run the new card, more often that not WZC is incompatible
with them.

To enable WZC

Control panel
administrative tools
services
wireless zero configuration
startup type : automatic
service status: start

rebstart windows, you may have to reboot to get it to autostart and stick

Thanks!

I've just looked at the admin services tab and there is no windows zero
configuration service - is there an acronym?

yes I do - it simply reports no network - I have a second machine next to it
(and have also swapped cards to make sure there isn't a hardware problem).
The second machine also running xppro 2nd edition finds and logs onto the
network without problem. I think the problem is with the setup of the
machine which is why i finally installed sp2 last night but that didn't solve
it. The first time I installed the card (DLINK G650+) it worked 100% but
after closing down and rebooting I started this loop...

It's wireless (not windows, see below) zero configuration and if you don't
see it listed after opening services under administrative tools I can't help
ya...

That's the problem joe, I can't see it (and yes I spotted my typo - I realise
it is wireless). I am trying to discover how to get that service reloaded,
something must have happened to the files. ANytway thanks.

Hi clark, that is the problem even with the utility that came with the card
nothing works. (In fact it says switch windows wireless networking off). It
simply looks as if the thing has deleted some control somewhere. The card
works perfectly on another machine. The dll exists and is near enough the
size you mention 352KB 04/08/2004

Furthermore the utility worked the first time it was installed and then
stopped working. That was when I uninstalled it, rebooted and tried using
windows instead without the utility and that was when I noticed the service
tab had vanished.

The registry entry exists there are three sub branches Enum Parameters

I don't suppose that these are much help - it just looks normal... The only
thing I can think of is that perhaps permissions have been changed on some of
those folders.

Thanks for your feedback - if you have any other ideas please let me know.

Clark, thanks for this further idea - I didn't spot it. What happens when I
do this is that I receive the following dark message: wzcsvc.dll was loaded
but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. The file cannot be
registered.

That seems rather sinister...
