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:

Hi

sorry it took so long to get back to you, I have notbeen able to get onto this PC.

When I go to Manage Wireless Networks, no Networks are listed, when I try to Add
my Network, it is not accepted.

When I go to Manage Network Connections my Wireles Network is shown as working.

Where can I go from here?

thanks

Well now you know where the problem is. The system is unable to save the wireless network info on the system.

I looked up people who had the same problem, for some people windows wasnt in control of the wireless networks but instead the wireless card had software installed that was in control of it.

Such as this person here

PROBLEM SOLVED.

The reason none of this advice works is because this is not a Microsoft issue. This is a Wireless Adapter issue.

If you are like me and using a wireless adapter (NetGear Wireless N300) you need to instruct the device to enter your Network Access Security Key at the time the computer powers up.

For NetGear users (and similar) open the device's smart wizard and instruct it to JOIN A NETWORK using your standard security key. This will tell the device to log into your wireless signal at startup.

the problem is, we are all instructing our computer to login, but we adapter is overriding the computer.

What wireless adapter do you have and does it have its own software it uses? For me I always have the wireless adapters controlled by windows.

Then other people who had the problem had it due to a permissions problem such as this person


--- Quote ---1) Go to the folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Wlansvc\Profiles (it's hidden folder so you'll have to manually type the path from the windows start bar),
2) Give the local Administrators group full permissions;
a) In windows explorer, right click within the folder and select properties
b) Select the Security tab
c) Click Edit
d) Select the Administrators group (or if it's not there already, add it)
e) Ensure all the permissions are ticked, with the exception of special permissions,
f) Click OK then OK.
3) Try adding a wireless profile again by going to Network and Sharing Centre - you should not now get the "Access Denied" message.

So what you can try there is use my Windows Repair tool. Have it do a registry backup first, and then when you get to the repairs unselect all of them and only do the first 3 repairs, which all have to do with permissions.

Hi

I must say, I really appreciate your patience and input with this issue, posting the details of other
similar problems and solutions must have taken time to do.

However, after running your Windows Repair tool I still have the same problem. All permissions are there
in the Administrators group .

Any ideas where to from here?

What about this question?

Hi

my apologies, I missed that question.

In device manager it is listed as 802.11 n/g/b Wireless Lan USB Adapter,
it is not a USB Adapter it is attached to the motherboard.

The manufactures is listed as Azure Technologies and the driver is
by Ralink,

I do not know of any software that connects, I click on the connection icon (std windows icon)
beside the clock on the task bar and select conect to a Network.

But in my programs list in Revo Uninstaller there are two entries listed as "Intel Pro Network Connections"
and "Intel Pro Network Connections 12.2.41.0"

Thanks again for your help.

regards

Daniel
