Is your laptop a member of a domain? This error message would occur if your
network administrator is managing wireless settings for member clients using
Wireless Group Policy. KB#892087 covers the issue, but the operation that
you are attempting is different than the scenario provided in the article.
The article covers the error message from 'adding' a preferred network to
the list. What you are trying to do is disable the service, and your
network administrator has placed a specific restriction against that because
third party software does not honor the group policy settings.
If it is mission critical to install another wireless client, speak to your
network administrator to have him set up a policy exemption for your
computer.
