Windows XP SP3 - Wireless Network Connection 2 not starting

hey ya

is this a laptop or desktop?

if desktop is it a usb wifi?

Laptop

Look for a physical switch or button, or function key combination on the Laptop to turn wireless on or off.

Tried it but did not work....

Looks like its a windows problem or something, that its not able to "start" the wireless connection...

what type of laptop do you have?

and do you have any 3rd party application/wireless app that could be using the windows zero configuration utility

hmm not sure about it...

I have a HP laptop... How can I check if someone is using the Zero configuration utility?

like what model HP,

HP LAPPYS some times come with hp wireless tools

When I try to enable the wireless connestion I get:

Enabling...

Connection Failed!

thats why its helpfull to tell us what model you have so we can narrow down the search for you,

Yes it did work before.

Where exactly can I check the device manager?

Elitebook 8530w

why have you got xp on an elitebook lol,

now their is a panel on the top of the laptop with a blue wireless icon can you press this icon and see if it enables your wireless

all so have you installed the quick launch key software for xp? and is it 64bit windows

The windows is XP 32bits.

Looks like Windows is missing something during startup...

The light is blue.

Se disabled.jpg to see that the wireless is disabled.
