Re: Not able to enable Wireless Adapter

Hello everyone

I am running Vista 64, and I WAS having a similar problem.

I was trying to use a USB WLAN adapter, and I had tried 4 different
adapters, and all updated drivers for each adapter. Had tried turning
off AV and firewall.

With every driver and adapter, the same problem:
Windows seemed happy with the driver, but the adapter always showed as
"disabled". If tried to enable, it would show: "Enabling.........
Enabled!" but it would never actually enable it.
After weeks of troubleshooting and searching the net, I had given up.

This afternoon, I accidentally figured out what was causing this
problem!

Uninstall ZoneAlarm!

Somehow, even when ZA was disabled, it was keeping my wireless device
from enabling....

I hope this will help someone.

Re: Not able to enable Wireless Adapter

I was having this same problem, but in Windows 7, and I am SO happy I
finally found this advice about uninstalling Zone Alarm! I was trying to
enable my wireless adapter for hours with no luck, tried re-installing
all the drivers, couldn't find anything about the problem on Windows 7
forums. The very instant the Zone Alarm uninstaller started working, the
problem was fixed! Thank you so much!!!
