have just installed wireless networking which works fine but has to be
started manually every time I turn PC on. I go to services - wireless zero
cofig. -and then have to click start. I have to do this every time. I have
been told that my wireless adapter may be one that Windows wont recognise and
that I may have to configure it to do so.Can you tell me what to do. I am
running XP home SP2 Netgear router and Micradigital 802.11g w/less USB adapter

So you're saying that the Wireless Zero Configuration service doesn't start
up when the computer starts up?

If that's the case then you can try switching it to automatic startup. Get
into services, go to Wireless Zero Configuration, double click it to bring
up it's properties window and next to where it says "Startup type:" choose
Automatic from the list, click Apply, then OK.

Do you have 3rd party software that manages your internet connection? If you
do then you'll need to disable it from starting up when windows does to be
able to automatically start WZC. For example I have an HP laptop, and in
order for WZC to work properly on my machine I had to disable the HP
Wireless Assistant from starting up when the computer does.
