I just ran into an annoying problem. I have a built in wifi card, with which I connected to my Wifi.
A few days ago I also connected a USB wifi adapter to the same computer, and connected to the same wifi as earlier.
When I was done with it, I clicked "forget this network" and then unplugged the adapter.
After all this, I can't connect to my wifi using the built in card.
All it says is "Cant connect to this network" and a link to help me solve connection problems in orange
which doesn't help at all.
I can't "forget this network" and it does not let me see the properties, or even put in the password again.
I've rebooted numerous times thinking that would help, but it doesn't.
Also I can't find the network list in control panel, which windows 7 had... where you could delete all the networks you've connected to before.

Solution:
After a few tinkering and resetting, the answer was just changing my MAC address. I'm guessing I blocked my self somehow from using 2 wifi adapters at the same time.
