I support wireless networking for a company that supports hotels. I had
a guest trying to connect via wireless, had her view available wireless
networks, selected our network, she tried to connect, got message
"Windows cannot connect to" and our network name. Had her try connecting
several more times, then had her go to manage wireless networks, add a
profile for our network(typical wireless hotspot config, authentication
open, encryption disabled, Infrastructure mode), she still got message
"Windows cannot connect to" our network name. Had her check Windows
f/w, turn it off, still gets same error. She had good signal level, no
other guests appear to be having such a problem in her area. Any ideas
on what might be causing this?

Have you uninstalled her wireless adapter and reinstalled it?

after uninstalling and reinstalling wireless adapter, delete every available
network on manager wireless network and reconfigure wireless network. if this
will not work check MSconfig make its running on normal start up
