"Access Is Denied" When trying to add wireless network

ClericX said:

ok i figured out how to change the permissions for the key and it turns out netprofm wasnt even granted full access to the key!

i will restart now, i will be back relatively quickly, thanks.

If netprofm wasn't granted something, it's because it is not supposed to be granted it.

Randomly changing settings, especially in the registry or permissions without understanding the ramifications will get you further into trouble.

You will never know what new problem you have invoked by changing this.

Troubleshooting is eliminating options, not introducing new ones.

I hope the reboot will solve this problem.

If it does, try setting the things back you changed, except for the service that was set to automatic.

good luck

That is correct - permissions for netprofm are read



The single entry is correct


Very good advice

Thanks Barman,

At least one person is hearing me.

Well, either the OP screwed up the system like I predicted, or he got lucky and it's fixed.

We'll see I guess.

well i had screwed up some stuff by changing permissions for my windows folder but im back now thanks to system restore, though my problem for the networks not being saved is still there...

Hate to say I told you so........

This will be my last attempt to help you, although I must be nuts.

Services!

Checkout the network services that are started when you have a successful connection

Set them to automatic ONE by ONE . Don't stop them.

Reboot after every single change. and check out if the problem is gone.

Don't change any more permissions.

Good luck

how do i check which services are started once i have a successful connection? simply watcing the services list as I connect to a network or is there an easier way?

When you click on the bar above started or stopped, you can arrange the started ones to be on top.

Take a screenshot.

Print it if you can.

Now force the network.

Do the same thing, arranging the started services on top, and make a second screenshot and print.

Now you can see which services were started when you forced the network.

Set those to automatic. and reboot.

That should do the trick.

good luck
