Hi,
I will give you the whole background so you will know how to pinpoint the problem.
I had just recovered from a virus and was able to re access windows. But safe mode was locked out from a blue screen of death. I ran a windows repair. It completed and restarted but in the middle of the re start it froze. I was locked out windows but followed instructions to reset the activation for 30 days. But, the activate key icon would disappear and never opened.
I went back in the safe mode and got rid of the activation reminder. When I tried to start the wireless network I kept getting errors. Limited connect, acquiring network signal, verify identiy. The wireless adapter, that I was using was a linksys.
I tried to reinstall it an it said that service pack 3 was required. I returned it and got a netgear. The netgear said that in order to support wpa2 security download Microsoft hot fix kb893357. I tried to install the later program kb and I got that it was incompatible.
