I few months ago I published my solution for the various wireless problems I had with my laptop when I upgraded from Windows XP SP2 to SP3.  Back then I used a batch file to resolve the problems that I was consistently seeing when coming back out of standby or hibernate mode. (See Windows XP SP3 – Your Vista Migration Tool!)

I have recently discovered that I can dispatch with my earlier batch file by copying the following dll’s that exist in my pre-SP3 installation of Windows:

  • wscsvc.dll
  • wzcdlg.dll
  • wzcsapi.dll

Once I replaced the SP3 dlls with these my laptop performed much better with regard to the wireless issues that were present earlier.

Please try to use the dll’s from your own installation, but if you must, you can try the following zip file at your own risk:
