Available Wireless Networks Tab

You need to start the Wireless Zero Configuration service (WZC)
Go to administrator tools -> Services, it's at the bottom

Set it to 'automatic' and it will work each time you start the computer

Well hello, look 3 messages down from yours to "wireless connection
properties doesnt show". Welcome to my world, I have been working on this for
2 days and nothing. Let me know if you get it sorted. Have tried all the
recommended and am missing something somewhere. So best of luck.

Make sure that no other s/w for wireless config is running.
Especially look for Intel Proset or Adapter switch utilities.
In properties of the wireless connection, uncheck all non-Microsoft's protocols.
