Hi, i changed my wireless card and everytime i turn on my laptop, i have to enter my network key and i have to use the card's software to connect to the internet. I even went back to using my old card and i still have to do the same thing with that card's software. Its getting frustrating....This is what i get when i try to use the laptop's connection thingy.

Hi. This is becuase you are using the thrid party software to pick up network signals. If you disable the new software from being the default connection handler, you should be able to use the Windows version again.

Try disabling it in the start up tab in msconfig. Start /Run /open=msconfig. Go to the start up tab and uncheck the wireless utility and restart. put a check in the box of the "you have made change to the way" window that will pop up and click OK. this should allow you to use the native software.
