Vista's Wireless Woes
 

I just got a new laptop with Vista on it, and I've never used Vista before. I connected to the net via an ethernet cable just fine. When I was trying to connect to my router wirelessly it says I need to turn on the wireless adapter. I have a blue light on my wireless adapter... I'm not an idiot, I'm positive it's on. It gave me a list of ways to turn on wireless adapters for different laptops, I found mine and ensured that what I had done indeed turns it on. What do I do?

Is the laptop's wireless adapter compatible with the wireless security on your router?

Then you scan your network environment and see if you can see your own network in there.
