It's probably caused by Windows configuration conflicting with your adapter's configuration.
Go to Wireless Zero Configuration in Administration Tools > Services then if Stop is there, click it and then change Startup to Disabled.

to quickly get to the point in question, just hit Start... Run... and enter "services.msc" without quotes. Tap the enter key and you'll be able to look for that service.
Administrative controls are in the Control Panel

You need either Odyssey or WZC, don't disable both!

You should have started your own post, not hijack this one!
Anyway:
1. Try uninstalling the adapter in Device Manager and reboot to let Windows reinstall it. It will uninstall whether you have wi-fi built in or if you're using an external adapter.
2. Does your model have a switch or key combination on the keyboard that enables wireless?
