Guest Flaagent Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 I can connect to my wireless network at home but I'm at another location with wireless service and I cannot connect to any wireless networks. The Windows message says "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection. if you have enabled another program to manage this wireless connection, use that software. If you want Windows to configure this wireless connection, start the Wireless Configuration Service. I did this per the instruction in Microsoft article 871122 but it's still not working. My computer crashed and the hard drive was replaced a few months ago by a professional, who reloaded the operating system. I did not have this problem before the computer crashed. What can I do to fix this? Thanks.
Guest Ron Badour Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Re: Windows cannot configure wireless connection Click on check for Wireless Networks. In the left pane, click on the advance settings. On the resulting screen, click on the Wireless tab. Click the box to use MS configuration. Click OK. Using this method is the only way I can get my son's PC to connect to a wireless network. Unfortunately, the settings are not saved (I have not found a fix for this) so he has to go through this drill each time he wants to connect to the internet. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Flaagent" <Flaagent@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C6FC5048-F9E5-47E7-82DE-535D90B5591E@microsoft.com... >I can connect to my wireless network at home but I'm at another location >with > wireless service and I cannot connect to any wireless networks. > > The Windows message says "Windows cannot configure this wireless > connection. > if you have enabled another program to manage this wireless connection, > use > that software.
