Melissa,

When I got my laptop, it came with 3 WiFi managers.
# HP (the laptop manufacturer).
# Intel (the WiFi card manufacturer).
# Microsoft (the OS manufacturer).

But you can't run more than one WiFi manager at a time. Run more than one, and
eventually (not immediately), two will cause a conflict, and you'll lose network
connectivity. That's your problem.

You have to pick one and only one manager. Make sure that the others don't get
started automatically either. Use a program like Autoruns (free) and know
what's running on your computer.
