    just installed windows 7 - it worked fine but when I try to get it to connect to my wireless, it asks for the key which I enter, but it says the key is incorrect. I know it is right I've tested it on my laptop.

    Any suggestions as to how I can get past this?
    Thanks

    Is it a driver issue then? I had a problem with an old wifi usb stick. Eventually found some generic drivers

    What wireless adapter and router are you using? Did you have to install specific drivers for the adapter? If so, were they Windows 7 drivers? How have you configured your network security (ie WEP, WPA2, TKIP or AES)?
