Wireless configuration in Windows Vista

Change in registry branch "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ndisuio" value "Start" to 2. Then start services "Wired autoconfig", "WLAN Autoconfig" (first set to "Auto" starting mode - for autoconnecting - and now start them manually). If they doesn't start then see "Dependencies" tab and turn-on - to auto start mode all sub-services) and try again.
After this you can try to find a nets and to connect to one of them (see names of found networks). To connect you need to enter SSID and key phrase - see them in your Wireless Router config :)
