my networks playing up again this program keeps popping up called WLanCFgG.exe have no idea what this is but the wirelessmonitor keeps coming up and saying that it has encountered a problem with it.

i have pressed ctrl/alt/del and ended the wireless monitor and it just keeps coming back i have ended the WLanCFgG.exein the processes and it keeps coming back i have tried not sending a report and i have tried sending them nothing happens.

matter what i do it just keeps coming back and doing the same its a major pain because if im playing a game like CS:CZ it closes the window and goes back to the main screen any ideas???

What OS are you using...98se?

im useing xp sp2

Try to uninstall it from the controll panal. If it is not listed there look in Spybot or CCleaner's uninstall files.

It's a Belkin wireless network program, probably found in C:\Program Files\Belkin\Belkin Wireless Network Utility\WLanCfgG.exe

You can try renaming it or try in Task manager, processes, highlight it if it is there and click end process button

ive tried ending the process i did say but not very clearly and it hasnt done anything im gonna try to uninstall it

I would submit a hijack log ... See the SECURITY forum Follow the instructions and after you submit do not change anything til you get told to

The solution!

This problem has been driving some of my colleagues wild. I found this page and read it hopefully only to find that Conk had solved it and then been so happy surfing the web that he/she was too busy to post the solution.

The problem is one of Belkin's utilities. Which is, to be polite about it, far too enthusiastic for it's own good. It relates to Part/Product Number F5D7050 which is a Wireless G USB Network Adaptor (a USB dongle with a cradle.)

So, for all of you fellow sufferers here it is; fresh from Belkin's own website, but posted here in full as well as with a link because it's such a pig to find hidden deep in their Tech Support FAQS. Part of the problem being that you need to use the part number to find it... and the other part is they've mis-spelled the error (Belkin have it as Wlancfg.exe not WlanCfgG.exe... arrrrggggghhhhhhh!

This worked for me 1st time. I hope this sorts things for you.

Here's the link:
http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/tech/faqs...en&stamp=565A5F

Which leads to a link that looks like this:

Part No: Title
f5d7050: Wlancfg.exe error message.

Here's the text behind Wlancfg.exe error message:

*********************************************************
Part Number F5D7050

Question: I keep seeing an error message with this file, how do I resolve this?

Resolution:
1. Uninstall the Software from add/remove programs in the Control Panel.
2. Go into the Windows services list and verify that the Windows Zero Configuration service is set to automatic and has been started.
3. Unplug the adapter and reboot the PC.
4. Plug the adapter back in. If Windows nags for a driver, point it to the CD included with the adapter.

You can now configure the wireless adapter from your Windows control panel. The Belkin utility will not be installed.

*********************************************************
Here's the rest of the info you need (for XP Professional):
1. Start, Control Panels, Add or Remove Software, select the Belkin software and remove it
2. Start, Control Panels, Administrative Tools, Services, scroll to the bottom to find the Windows Zero Configuration service. Double click to open and change the setting to Automatic.
3. Come on, you don't need my help with that instruction do you?
4. Come on, you don't need my help with that instruction do you? If so, click the 'Have disk' button when it whinges about the software and is asking for help.

Happy surfing.

PS if this solves it for you please post to this thread and say so. It was such a lonely search for the solution that it would be nice to feel that other people had benefitted. Thanks FG

Yes excellent reply indeed!


I really wish software/hardware firms would thoroughly test their products before releasing into the PD!

Keep up the solid work bleeping!
Thanks FunkyGibbon

hey i have a tiny problem. I dont know how 2 instal my wireless router its 2 hard for me so i got a comp tech 2 do it for me ($100/h) if i uninstall the software and reinstall it would i be able 2 set up my wireless router or will i need him 2 cum back again 2 install it?

Thnaks FunkyGibbon, very good answer.
I don't see any error with this process, I noticed it when I saw that it has the largest PageFault number in the task manager. after implementing the fix, does this process disapear compleatly? I just dont want to fix somthing that I'm not sure is broken...

If it isn't broken, and you have connectivity, and do not get the error message as described in this thread or any other error, and you are experiencing no other problems -LEAVE IT ALONE!

I got the WLanCfgG.exe error message that seemed to only be a problem after installing XP SP2. I renamed the file and have had no problems since. I did not need to uninstall/re-install. My message was popping up so often it was practically impossible to use the internet. It has not popped up once since I renamed it. This is the first time I've used forums/boards to fix a problem and I'm impressed at how useful they are!

EXCELLENT POST by Kitty Canham. I had the exact same problem after downloading Service Pack 2. I rename the WLanCfgG file to WLanCfgG11 and it worked like a charm. I was a first time user also. Thanks again

Hi Funky Gibbon

your solution here was so easy to follow i hope you might be able to solve a problem I also have with the Belkin f5d7050. I have seen loads of postings on other sites but have not been able to follow them

basically, whenever I leave my machine for, say 10 minutes for a coffee, and the system goes into idle mode, the adapter disconnects itself from the network and I end up having to switch the pc off then on again to get the connection back

it is doing my head in

any help, in idiot-friendly speak appreciated!

hi all,

i want to create a little forum can any body help.

i know .asp language

thanks

Go into Device Manager and check the properties for your network adapter. To get to Device Manager, go to Start...Run...and type in "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) and press Enter.

Once in, look for Network Adapters, then click the + sign next to it to expand the entries.
If you don't know which one you're using, you'll have to check them all.

Do this by right clicking on them and selecting "Properties" - then look through every selection on every tab to find something that says something about Sleep, Wake, Turn off this Device, etc.
Make selections to ensure that you've disabled the Sleep/Turn off stuff. Be careful with the Wakeup/Turn on stuff - as some of it will allow unauthorized access to your system from the web - let us know what they say before changing them and we'll let you know about them.

Here's my problem: every reference to this issue that I can find in a Google search says it's a Belkin problem. Well...I use a Netgear wireless router and a Dynex USB adapter. What can I do to fix this? Thank you.
