Whenever I try to log on to my secured wireless network, I have to retype my
security key. Every time I reboot, the security key that is saved changes to
something different and I have to retype the key. Any suggestions?

What tells you that it's changed?  As a security measure, XP doesn't
display the actual number of characters in the key.

Try connecting even if it looks different.

Thanks Steve, I never even tried to connect with the saved password since it
didn't have the correct number of characters.
