Wireless Zero Configuration

Hi,

My pc was running very slowly . . . i.e., it took about 10 minutes to
reboot. Someone told me to Start > Run > cmd > ipconfig /flushdns.

It worked beautifully. My pc speed is more than twice as fast as it was
before.

However, I read this article:

http://www.iceteks.com/articles.php?act=view&article=ndisuio&p=1&

and I decided to permanently turn off NDIS Computer Management > Services >
Wireless Zero Configuration > Disable

That was a mistake. Everytime I opened a page, I received a message that
NDIS was receiving something and asked if I wanted it to continue. I checked
the box "do not ask again" but it continued to pop up for every page I
visited.

So I decided to enable it again, which was easy to do . . . Computer
Management > Services > Wireless Zero Configuration > Automatic. The only
problem is that in Start > Run > msconfig > Services > Wireless Zero
Configuration, the setting is "Stopped" so that I continue to get the
messages. When I try to click on it to set it up as "Running," nothing
happens. I can't change the setting.

My pc is my personal pc. Nobody uses it but me so I'm the Administrator and
this is an Administrator setting. I seem to not be able to change
Administrator settings, even if I want to Schedule a program to run, i.e,
Ad-Aware. When I've tried, I receive a message that asks me for my passwowrd
and since I don't have or need a password, I receive a message that
essentially says that since I'm not the Administrator and I don't have a
password, the scheduled program may not run, and it doesn't.

When I boot my pc, it boots automatically to my desktop. I tried logging
off from my desktop as Owner but there's no Administrator icon, just my one
icon, named "Owner."

So I have two questions:

What settings do I need to change so that my pc will recognize me as the
Administrator?

How do I change Start > Run > msconfig > Services > Wireless Zero
Configuration from "Stopped" to "Running?"

Hi again,

Just an update to my previous post. I had asked

How do I change Start > Run > msconfig > Services > Wireless Zero
Configuration from "Stopped" to "Running?"

Previous attempts to change the setting from Stopped to Running failed.
When I tried Computer Management > Services > Wireless Zero Configuration >
Automatic one more time, it automatically changed the setting from Stopped
to Running in Start > Run > msconfig > Services > Wireless Zero
Configuration. Earlier attempts didn't change it. So I no longer need help
with this matter. :)

However, I still need to know what settings to change so that my pc will
recognize "Owner" as Administrator so that I can schedule tasks.


Thanks in advance . . . Denise
