    Unable to connect with internal Wifi or external USB adapter


    This is for a work computer, that I'm 99% sure someone with monkey hands messed up. Now I'm stuck trying to get it fixed.

    When I try connecting to a wifi network, the computer attempts to connect for half a beat, and tells me that windows was unable to connect to the network.

    I turned off the firewall, there isnt a virus scanner running, and I updated the internal wifi drivers. I even tried using my external USB wifi adapter.

    I was able to tether his cell phone to the computer briefly. As far as I knew, he was able to connect that way. He just told me today that the tethered connection doesn't always work,

    So whatever is going on, I assume has something to do with a windows software setting. Any ideas?

    I can't do a system restore because there is some proprietary software installed that would take an act of congress to get reinstalled.
