I have been using my laptop (Vista Home Premium 32 bit) to access my home network for sometime. Today when I tried to connect I was prompted for the network key - even though when I went into my network properties the key/password still seemed to be stored. If I type in the key at the prompt no connection is made (keeps trying to load but eventually get the 'is taking longer than expected to connect' message).
If I go to manage network connections and try to reenter and save the network key I get an error box "windows has encountered an error saving the wireless profile. Specific error: The service has not been started".
I've tried rebooting just in case Windows had got itself twisted - but it hasn't helped.
Does anyone know what service I should be looking for and how I can reinstall it if it's disappeared?
