What this message means is that the vendor of your PC (or wireless card) has included a utility to configure the wireless network. Only ONE program can have control over configuring the wireless network. Not two. So, you have to use the vendor provided program, not the Windows program.
Personally, I always disable any vendor supplied wireless configuration utility. Most of them have a checkmark to check or uncheck to prevent their use. After you disable the vendor-supplied utility, you will be able to use the built-in Windows program to do it. I prefer the Windows program.

Hi there. How do I configure the wireless settings on my computer such that I will pick up wireless signals when I visit various hotspots? When I go to the Wireless Network Connection dialog and refresh the network list, I get the message that windows cannot configure this wireless connection and that if I have enabled another program to manage this wireless connection, to use that software. Yes, I used to connect to the internet wirelessly through my mom's desktop by virtue of a 2 Wire modem that was sent to me by SBC Yahoo. However, I think I disabled abled it somehow when I moved and got a new broadband internet connection. I really have absolutely no idea where to begin here. Please could I have some pointers. Thank you.
John
