WLAN AutoConfig service gives error 1067 when trying to start it. What I tried:

Reset winsock settings
Ran SFC /scannow
Did system restore
Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers

I tried all of these in normal mode AND in safe mode. None of it worked.

Then i thought the service dll (C:\Windows\system32\wlansvc.dll) itself might have been damaged/outdated/whatever, so I tried to delete it and put a new one from donor pc, but no luck.
It wouldn't give me access to the file no matter what i tried, safe mode, unlocker tools, auto rename it on startup, doing everything in administrator and changing permissions under properties. It just won't give me access to the file.

It was working few days ago and i literally have no idea why it stopped working.

Specs:

Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
Sony VAIO Laptop
3945ABG Wi-Fi card


Any idea how to fix it? Thanks in advance :)
