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".

How do i fix this? This thread is locked. Things were slightly better on another PC when it installed a missing Realtek LAN driver but even that gave us problems when the program crashed causing Explorer to also crash.

Something like Double Driver or Driver Backup! Another option is trying a Windows PE distro which might have compatible network drivers already integrated allowing you to go online and download third party network drivers or even one of the tools above without needing another internet enabled computer.
Thanks so very much. You are an absolute Star Raymond. Thank you very much! Driver easy helped for my ethernet card driver and 3DPnet for me wireless card driver. I installed the network driver with Driver Talent for Network Card. Thank you for your recommendation.
It is quite useful for me.
