    I'm having trouble with the wireless connection. Instead of automatically connecting to a wireless network, I simply can't seem to make it work. It keeps saying "obtaining IP address" then "connection to WLAN failed". When it does connect, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting, any help?

    I get the same problem sometimes. You can try resetting the router [unplug it and plug it back in] If this does not work I don't know what else you can do.

    Hope this helps.

    I'm not using any program, the only thing is that I installed the upgrade disc that came with the laptop. Now everytime I turn on my laptop, I have to pick between 2 windows vista systems. :confused:
