Q: My current problem is:
“Windows cannot find a certificate….” whilst trying to connect to my network wirelessly on an old dell PC. I thought i had solved the problem by downloading the Hotfix, but the certificate error went away. Than i tried connecting again and it didn’t work, now it’s just saying I need to fix my network. I also downloaded SP2, google tells me i need to download SP3, but it won’t let me because the file is not the proper bit or something along those lines.
What I’ve done:
-Download Windows XP Hotfix
-Download Windows XP Service Pack 2
-Tried to disable 802.11x under the Authentication, but that tab is grayed out.
-Went into my router’s settings to try and disable 802.11x, but it’s already set on Mixed b/g

How do I fix my connectivity problem?
