I am pretty much computer illiterate. But I want to learn...
So any help is greatly appreciated. I just updated my laptop from Windows XP Home Edition to Windows Vista. Previously, when I had Windows XP as my operating system, I was connected to a wireless network. But now as I go to connect to my wireless network on Windows Vista, an error message comes up: "the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network" can anyone tell me how to fix this? |

You may need to remove and reset it.
Go to the Network and Sharing Center. On the left, click Manage Wireless Networks. Right click on the network icon in question and click Remove. Then you can search for wireless networks and connect again with the correct information.

Thank you very, very much. This was amazingly easy, but surprisingly difficult to figure out. Without this piece of advice, I would have been lost for who know how long. Again, Thank you Evan Wilson -- trueway44 |
