WZC stopped

hi my wireless zero configuration service is stopped and i cant start it
when i click on start? i get the message
' Error 1058: the service cannot be started either because it is disabled
or has no enabled devices associated with it'
can anyone explain this to me?
am trying to diasabe windows xp from configuring my wireless connection and
use the softaware that comes with my adapter. but to do this i need the
wireless connection tab which isnt showing

I think you've already succeeded in your quest. Windows is telling you
that the Wireless Zero Config service is disabled.

To be sure you can Start/Run and type in services.msc in the Run box
then hit return. The services list will pop up and you can scroll down
the list and view the status of the WZC service.

When you install the software that comes with wireless cards, the
software normally disables WZC automatically.

Make sure the software is actually designed for WinXP and not just for
Win9x/2000 (I made that mistake).

Lance are u sure that 'the software normally disables WZC automatically'. i
think it may not be working or something. my brothers wireless connection
works and i checked to see the status of the WZC and it is started. (but he
is using a different kind of adapter). anyways my adapter works with xp.
problem still unsolved...

I'm not sure exactly what's wrong. WZC is stopped, you have the Intel
software installed, the Device manager shows the adapter is OK. So
what's not working?

In another post mavermik98 asked you to look for a switch located
somewhere on the laptop to turn the wireless on/off. He also mentioned
that some laptops require you press a certain combination of keys that
do the same thing. This is your next step.
