I shut down my laptop on thanksgiving day and came back later that night and logged on...and My Wifi wasn't working. It doesn't show any available networks. - I am still able to connect to the internet through the Ethernet cable- My wifi switch is in the ON position- In the Device Manager it says that it is WORKING PROPERLY- It shows a red x in the task bar, showing that theres no connection and no networks available- When I go to Control Panel> Network and Internet> Network and sharing Center it is completely empty, nothing is there...only 4 icons...nothing else.- It doesn't show the wireless button in Windows Mobility center anymore- I bought a Linksys Wireless adapter and it would not work unless i enabled the windows wireless network manager...which i can't do either.- I uninstalled and reinstalled the Drivers from the Toshiba website- I did a system Restore and it failed- My modem is working fine- Other computers in the house are able to connect to the modem wirelesslyThis is what it says when I try to start Wlan AutoConfig "Windows could not start the WLAN AutoConfig service on local computer" Error 0xc00ce508:0xc00ce508I did a "sfc/scannow" in the command prompt as an administrator and it said " windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them"Nothing works.Please help me, it's driving me crazy. Thank you so much in advance :)

I think you can try putting in the window cd and run a windows repair on it.

HiMaybe this can Help, http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html Jack-MVP Windows Networking. WWW.EZLAN.NETI followed the instructions on that page 2 times and it has not fixed the problem. I wonder if it was a windows update that messed something up or if something in the registry is out of place or missing?Thank you for your help. Anyone else have any advice or input...every little bit counts. This will be a process of elimination to find this problem and fix it. I know there are lots of people in other forums with the same issue and cannot fix it either. Most of them with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. like me. It seems to be a windows issue. I'm not sure though

HiIf everything checked OK Network wise, and you mentioned before: "sfc/scannow" in the command prompt as an administrator and it said " windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix". It might be that some core file are corrupted and cannot be refreshed.Refresh XP Installation.To be secure, Backup your data and special stuff to a flash drive.----------------------------------Boot from the XP original CD. Skip the first screen that offer Console Repair, and continue as though you install a New XP. After you Agree etc., the new install screen will come on and would detect the current XP installation.You would have an option to Press R for Repair.Use it, would take about 45Min. and you would have a Refresh Installation of XP while keeping your Application, Data and XP configuration.P.S. If you made changes to WinXP Security setting (Like Firewall special permission) you have to look over them after the refresh since they might revert to the Default.Jack-MVP Windows Networking.
