Hello, trying to fix sister's laptop. Dell Inspiron, Windows 7 home premium 64 bit, wireless card "Intel Wifi 5100 AGN";
Will start by saying that i went to intels website and got the drivers for this model, so its not a driver issue...
Now for the issue: When i attempt to connect to a network, it says "No connections are available." After running the diagnostic it says Wireless service is not running" and it errors when attempting to fix it. A wired connection works perfectly, just not the wireless. The card is recognized in device manager and everything is updated 100%. When i attempt to turn on WLAN Config in services.msc, it gives error 1068, and cannot start said service.
I have looked at many threads on many forums and they all seem to be for vista. I have tried the registry fixes to no avail and i do NOT want to reinstall windows 7 (because i would have to reinstall vista then reupgrade which i may not be able to do).
Please help
