wireless connection proving difficult

I have recently tried to install a 2.4GHz wireless-G notebook adapterfrom
lynksys to my laptop. The device has been installed and the General
properties say that the device is working correctly. However on the choose a
wireless network the screen it says that windows can not configure this
wireless connection. I am at a losssince i have followed the instructions
from SBC my DSL provider and the Linksys website!
anybody have an idea to help

Assuming you have windows XP, it likely says that windows can't configure
the device because the linksys wireless utility is also trying to configure
the device. Pick one or the other to control the device, not both.

Of course I am just speculating because you did not provide any details
such as OS, exact error message, what model device...

I have a windows xp home OS . Where do I go to select one or the other
controls the configuration? I know its probably basic but i don't really know
jack about where to find such pages for fear doing damage to the computer

You either need to unininstall the linksys utility(which will remove the
drivers also) and reboot and install just the device drivers for the card.
Which should kind of happen automatically because Winxp makes backups of the
drivers. Then use WZC (Wireless zero config) built in to Winxp. Or Disable
WZC in the services of Winxp. Start/Run type in services.msc, hit enter,
scroll down and stop the WZC and set it to disabled or manual and use the
linksys utility. Just a thought, I made out best with my linksys card using
XP WZC and NOT the linksys utilty. See my thread above, Why odyssey client.
I got some help there.

You can leave everything in place - go to my computer - control panel - then
click on network connections - find your linksys wireless connection - ask
it to view the wireless networks it will then tell you how to have windows
take back the management from linksys
