Pat,
Try using Start/Run and enter "services.msc" (no quotes, of course) in
the Run box. Look for WZCSVC (Wireless Zero Configuration) and set it
start automatically if it isn't started already. If that doesn't help, I
don't know what will!

Subject: RE: [Thinkpad] Wireless cards?
Ed, and other list members,
I'm using an Orinoco silver card under win XP in my A22P. When first
installed it was recognized fine and wireless networking services
appeared. After a couple of months I no longer have access to wireless
networking configuration - the properties are greyed out - and the card
no longer works as a result.
Anyone else come across this problem?
