wireless card

[becky1963]

Every time I start up the computer I have lost the wireless capacity. I get the WZC error '871122'. I then have to start the Wireless Zero Configuration service. Is there something I can do so I don't have to do this each time?I checked the device manager and it said it was working properly. The place where i got the computer had to put a new wireless card in, because the one it had in it wasnt working properly and i called them and they said they could help me because it wasnt under warrenty. The rest of the computer is under warrenty but not the wireless card.

Have you been here yet:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/871122?

If starting the Wireless Zero Configuration service works for you, have you tried setting it to start "automatically".

Check the status of the "Wireless Zero Configuration" service.  On the Windows XP Pro SP3 system I'm posting from, it's set to:
     o  Status:  Started
     o  Startup Type:  Automatic
     o  Log On As:  Local System

To access system services info:
     o  Select "Start" - start menu displays
     o  Right-click "My Computer"- context menu displays
     o  Select "Manage" - Computer Management windows displays
     o  Double-click "Services and Applications" category (left window pane) to expand it
     o  Select "Services" item - All windows services display in right window pane
     o  Select "Standard" tab bottom right pane to gain more real estate
     o  Scroll down right window pane until you find "Wireless Zero Configuration".
     o  View it's status - double-click item to open Properties for edit.
     o  You might have to check the status of services it is dependent upon
