connecting to a network

I am pretty much computer illiterate. But I want to learn...
So any help is greatly appreciated.

I just updated my laptop from Windows XP Home Edition to Windows Vista.

Previously, when I had Windows XP as my operating system, I was connected to
a wireless network.

But now as I go to connect to my wireless network on Windows Vista, an error
message comes up:

"the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the
requirements of the network"

can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Wow, that was really simple. Thanks so much for your help. It works now.
