    Assuming the router is encrypted, try attaching with a cable to the router, go into the router config screen, copy the encryption key to the clipboard, and paste it into windows again.

    I AM NOT A HAPPY BUNNY

    the original problem has reoccurred
    as I have been having problems with my secure wireless connection
    I have not been on the laptop as much since I had the first issue

    any how I went to put it on tonight and :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    no screen picture again, tried what dell told me to do last time, which was reconnecting the screen lead. still no picture

    will be calling dell tomorrow requesting they take it back for a proper service

    any offers of advice greatly appreciated

    spoke to dell tonight (what a difficult job) trying to talk to someone in India

    anyhow it appears that i now need a "new" LCD screen
    anyhow Dell are sending someone out to me on Wednesday
    i suppose this is a good service, but boy was it difficult to sort out

    once it was sorted the guy on the phone wanted me to speak to his boss/supervisor
    he only went all over it again :mad: :mad: :mad:
    but he was going on about dell collecting the laptop and returing it to me some 7+ days later, again it was difficult to understand what was being siad etc etc

    any how end result is someone is coming out on Wednesday to replace the screen on my 8/9 week old laptop
