Thank god I have my mac.
Or I'd never be able to post this question on Vista.
I just lost my entire Vista OS and all its Data. Maybe its because
I'm a Mac user who knows....
Am I allowed to say Vista? Or is there a code word for it? 7!

Anyhow, I had to restore from out of the Box self made Restore DVDs I
had fortunately made when I bought the machine. After getting the
proper magic keyboard key stroke from technical support from Toshiba
the laptop finally booted from CD/DVD.. (Sounds like a Mac) Which
was the beginning of the end of the previous installation of Vista and
all my Data. Asta La Vista Datum...

My sons FIRST Visual Basic Application he ever wrote with his own
version of a modified Bubble Sort that oddly enough worked.

Any how I'm looking at a brand new installation of Vista and trying to
get it onto my wireless local area network which is WEP enabled. I
see the network and that it is a wep secured network, but no where can
I find where i am supposed to put in the WEP Password. So when I go
to connect to the wireless network it never asks for a password and
just sits there trying to connect. Eventually it times out and I get
a message saying there was time out.
