Windows WiFi Fix
Windows Zero Wireless Configuration is one of the best programs to run a
WiFi in Windows XP or Vista. I have tried most of the software that
comes with the off the shelf wireless adapters and I end up uninstalling it
or shutting it off and using the Windows software. That being said, many
people including myself have had issues with connectivity to their router.
Some people are having problems with the wireless adapter not making or
keeping the connection. If you have a computer that is not behaving and you
know that the router is working correctly then here is a trick I have found
that may help.
Windows XP:
Click Start
Right click on My Computer
When a window pops up click on properties
Click on the Hardware tab
Click Device Manager
Click the [+] next to Network Adapters
Find your wireless card and right click on it.
Click Disable
Windows may warn you that disabling the device may make it stop functioning.
Continue disabling the device.
Wait 30 seconds or so.
Right click on your wireless again and click Enable.
Exit the device manager.
Reconnect to your router.
You should now be able to connect to the internet.
Windows Vista:
Click Start Logo
Right Click Computer
Click Device Manager
Windows will ask you about opening Device Manager
Click Continue
Click the [+] next to Network Adapters
Find your wireless card and right click on it.
Click Disable
Windows may warn you that disabling the device may make it stop functioning.
Continue disabling the device.
Wait 30 seconds or so.
Right click on your wireless again and click Enable.
Exit the device manager.
Reconnect to your router.
You should now be able to connect to the internet.
Hope this helps...

helped.
It worked! I've spent almost two days trying to get
into my pc! I posted my issue on forums and tried MS KB to no avail. Thank
you so much! "Brad"
Man I hate having to fix my windows PC's and your
synopsis of how to replace config directories through recovery console
really did the trick. Thanks for making the internet a useful place.

Your restore instructions got me out of a sticky
wicket. Thank you!

Saved my A__ with this Dell 1505 laptop ~ I thought I'd
lost my whole hard drive but with your notes I was able to restore it to 4
days ago! Thanks! Good Job!
