Advanced Wireless Services

"Windows cannot configure this wireless connection."?

Please let me know if I fixed this properly. I have Windows XP Pro SP2. My Wireless is an Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG. When I turned on my laptop it came up to my Desktop picture, and for a few minutes did not go further than that. The status light wasn't moving, so it seemed as if it had finished loading everything. When it eventually finished loading I got the following message when going to View Available Wireless Networks: Windows cannot configure this wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to manage this wireless connection, use that software. If you want Windowss to configure this wireless connection, start the wireless zero configuration service. I connected hard-wired and found a tips online. This is what I was told to do: Control Panel>AdministrativeTools>Services Wireless Zero Connections>Start Then: View available wireless networks>Change advanced settings>Wireless networks tab>tick "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings

2. Your PC is set to use the intel utility to configure the wireless connection. You should see a small icon for this utility in the notification area down by the time in the lower right corner of your screen. Please be sure the radio on your adapter is turned on. your pc may hava a small switch along one of it's sides. Intel has also published updates to the software for its centrino chipset adapters follow the link below and install the update. Good Luck
