There shouldn't be this much of a problem every time I turn off and try to get back on again should there.?
As for WPA Shared Key..I don't have that option just Disable WPA Personal WPA Enterprise WPA2 Personal WPA2 Enterprise Radius and WEP.
Also the Windows Zero Configeration which I put to Started..just keeps going back to blank again...Something must be going on but I don't know how to sort it...At this rate I will end up hard wiring the house just to use the laptop..and to keep me sane.. And I thought the old dial up was a pain!!!

I'm beginning to think this is down to drivers. If WZC is being disabled its because another wireless manager is taking over. I have had problems with drivers for 'cheap' cards not wanting to connect in the past.
Telling us what the wireless cards are and/or the list of services (Net Start) will give us a clue.
WPA Personal is the same as WPA PSK, and the key should not be changing (unless someone is changing it!)
