Wireless Connection Problem
My connection problem is thus...When I start up the computer which is running Windows XP SP3 32-bit Professional, The wireless icon in bottom right corner doesn't automatically connect. When I click on it to find networks it says something about WCZ service for wireless communication. So I go to services.msc and turn it on(although it's set to run automatically), and my icon now says acquiring ip address but it does that forever.So I was looking at the firewall and that service isn't running and it's set to run automatically. And when I go to start it in services.msc it gives me this error.Error 10093: Windows Firewall cannot turn on blah blah blah due to WSAStartup dependency or failure.I've tried the netsh winsock reset thing and that did nothing. (As far as I can tell.)Tried loading default Windows SP3 services that didn't work(made my startup time take forever and display taskbar as grey old style windows)Doesn't have any viruses or spyware. Scanned with fully updated Malwarebytes, Spybot, and Avast.I have administrator rights on the computer.My thought is it's a driver issue somewhere but any help would be great since I'm now lost. TY1 person needs an answerI do too
