Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I have recently connect 2 Windows XP desktop computers to wifi and today i am trying to connect an old Windows XP laptop to wifi and it doesn't work. I keep getting this error "Windows was unable to find a certificate to log on to the network". When i installed the software for the Micro USB adapter it said i needed to get a hotfix from Microsoft so i tried to install the hotfix and naturally it didn't work What MS hotfix or patch does ever work on XP So i can't run Windows update to get any updates because of this XP end of support garbage.
How do i fix this? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.
