PC Does not automaticallyconnect to Wifi Network

Hi

my Vista PC, fully updated, does not connect automaticaly when the PC is started, once I connect it works fine.

When I connect I enter the password and select the "connect automaticaly" check box when it shows but the PC
still does not connect until I manuall select "connect to a network" and manually connect.

This did not happen when I had a cable connection but have moved house and now have a wireless modem, I have disabled the
ethernet cable card but that did not help.

The internal Wirelss card is made by AzureWave Technologies, Inc, the driver is provided by Ralink, I cannot find the model name/number.
 
I have tried uninstalling the driver and updating it, uninstalling made no difference and the Auto Update found no new drivers.
 
I could not find a driver online, it is difficult without knowing which driver to search for.

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions with this problem.

Thanks

I have had this happen on a few of my customers machines. It turned out the store password info in windows was corrupt.

So I went to the network and sharing center, on the left I clicked on manage wireless networks. There you will see the saved networks. I removed them all, rebooted and the next time Windows finally started auto connecting after I had it connect one more time and it saved the info fresh. :wink:
