Wireless Zero Configuration Service

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Some laptops have a proprietary wireless configuration program that turns
off the windows one. You might have to uninstall these programs before the
windows one will stick.

I'm not sure where I would find something like this out. Both laptops have
new, clean builds on them with none of the junk software they came with.
Only windows based drivers or drivers from manufacturers.

Any other ideas?
