You might tell us something about the machine and the wireless adapter.

Here's a page that describes a similar issue.

Thanks for that John,

Machine is windows XP, we are trying to install Telstra Next G card ( wireless Internet ), works excellent with admin account but doesn't work with normal account.

Gets error message " connection failed - check wireless adapter".
I am also a technician cann't figure out what is going on?
Is there an easy way to find the registry key to change the permissions.If any idea please send back to me.


thanks for that,

From that page, I'd use his procedure, only do the looking for Toshiba. I suspect the Class subkey will be different for a Toshiba.

The solution was to modify the security attributes of a key in the registry.
On my computer it's located at
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Cl ***\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}\0008]

If you do repeated searches for "belkin" in the registry you'll probably
find a similar key. (Doing a search for "wep" MAY take you straight to it.)
It contains a number of name/value pairs, among them are NetworkType, SSID
and WEP (the wep key).

Anyway, the modification is to add full access for "Users", and let this be
inherited by all the name/value pairs in the key.
