I used to be able to connect to the wireless network at the library from my laptop, but now I can't (Snnnnfff).

At home I can see a good local area connection on my laptop, but I can't access that-it asks for a certificate (motorola 23B1C), but I don't UNDERSTAND what that is about.

I'm not comp literate. And the more I rely on self help- I FEAR that I am making things worse myself.

I have a Satellite Toshiba A40 S161 which is using Windows 2003.  It has a CPU 2.59 GHz with 752MB of RAM.

Is there anything you could do to assist me? 

Via Remote Connection would be of preferable CHOICE- or send something to download.

It's a used laptop and I don't have a CD.  Nor the money to get it fixed!

When I start my computer, I get a message :"At least one service or driver failed during start up, AND,  another message a that read " HTTPS or TCP Connection could not be made."

I just recently signed up for dial up internet with Net Zero, and I am expecting a Norton 360 CD, but I don't think this will help me with my WiFi connection.
