    @ SegalOwens

    You've added your question to a 3 1/2 year old thread that may or may not apply to your situation.

    Please either ask your own question in the forum appropriate to your version of Windows or at least provide more information about both your system and your problem.  For suggestions, please see

    How to begin your own, new thread about your computer & your problem

    How to ask a question

    However, to directly respond to the specific statement of your question, KB 871122 (which is the article referenced earlier in the thread) explains how to start the WZC service: 

    To start the Wireless Zero Configuration service, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, click Run, type %SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc /s, and then click OK.
    2. Double-click Wireless Zero Configuration.
    3. In the Startup type list, click Automatic, and then click Apply.
    4. In the Service status area, click Start, and then click OK.
