Hi there,

Every time I start my computer, or shut the laptop and open it again, I have to go to start/run/services.msc and turn on Wireless Zero Config manually. Then I have to right click on my wireless connections, go into the options, click the box that allows windows to configure my wireless connections automatically, then go find my specific connection and connect to it. It's an incredible pain to have to go through this process every time and I've had this issue for a month now and finally have got fed up with it. I would just like my computer to automatically connect to my network every time I restart. I have the connection set to connect automatically under the settings, but never does. Anyone know if this may be malware/virus related because my connection use to be recognized automatically.

Thanks for your help with my trivial, yet painfully annoying issue.

I've just found a solution. Basically, my wireless card was taking over management after reboot. Try this: right click My Computer, properties, hardware,device manager (view-devices by type), network adapters, double click your wireless card, advanced, manage wireless settings, disable. WZC now in sole control, even after reboot.
