The wireless capabilities of my Vista laptop recently stopped working and
after some investigation I found that the WLan service was not running. After several failed attempts at starting it, I went looking for more information and found the following int he Event log: "The WLAN AutoConfig service terminated with the following error: WLAN AutoConfig is not a valid Win32 application." I also got the following detail at the command line: C:\Windows\system32sc query Wlansvc SERVICE_NAME: Wlansvc TYPE : 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS STATE : 1 STOPPED WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 193 (0xc1) SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0) CHECKPOINT : 0x0 WAIT_HINT : 0x0 Anyone have any ideas what may be going on here? Are there additional logs I can look at? Perhaps some file permissions I can check? I attempted going back to a previous restore point but it looks like the earliest one available to me has this same problem. Suggestions? -Cameron |

Cameron,
I'm sorry you're experiencing trouble. Are you still having this problem? If so, does rebooting reset the process properly?

I'm curious as to why you are answering all these queries with new posts
instead of replying to the original post so that someone waiting for an answer to their query can easily find it by watching the thread that is generated from that post? This way of doing it makes it highly likely people will miss your answer and then post their original query again with added anger. regards Greg "Kim [MS]" wrote in message ...

I have just hit the very same problem on Vista 64. I too have tried returning
to a previously working restore point. Also tried rolling back the wireless card driver. Ran a disk check all last night. Nothing has cured this. Did you find a solution other than what's looking like a complete re-install?
