Wireless Network Connection Problems (Limited User) XP

'Repair' work-around for Limited Users...

If you boot up an XP PC and find the Wireless Network doesn't always connect, this is the first thing you should try before rebooting the Modem/Router or Hub.

If you disconnect and reconnect randomly, stay tuned for the next vid'.

"Do you sometimes boot up your PC and notice that your Wireless Network Connection isn't connecting?

Simply right-click the icon in the system tray and select 'Repair'.

If you are using a Limited User Account, 'Repair' will be greyed-out. In this case, click 'View Available Wireless Networks'.

Now select, "Change Advanced Settings".

It will warn you that some of the settings are disabled, because you are not logged on, as the Administrator. This is OK, we can still Repair. Just click 'OK' and then the 'Wireless Network' Tab. Change any setting you like. Then change the same setting back.

For example, we will un-tick the first box and then tick it again. Now click 'OK' and it will automaticaly save the same settings and try to connect as if you had clicked 'Repair'.

Bye for now."

@BGDD27 It may mean that you have tried connecting before and your password was saved. Try deleting the saved network then connecting again. This time it may prompt you to enter the password.

here's my problem: i have a wireless connection in the apartment I'm in, and the landlord said "yeah go ahead it's free, here's the password" but when i click on it no password menu pops up (the computer calls it network key) it just goes straight to trying to connect. but i can't connect to it because i didn't put the password in. any thoughts would be appreciated.

@eSeOmAr97 to fix this u go to menu>control panel>Administrative Tools>services & scroll down till u see Wireless Zero Configuration (should be at the end of the list) and look at the status if it says started and wireless still doesnt work right click Wireless Zero Configuration and click on restart this should work!

@MrShamps100 Sounds like the adapters' not connected properly. If it's USB, try removing it, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in. If that doesn't fix it, try reinstalling the drivers.
