Lost my WPA PSK Option

Following a rebuild (Toshiba Hard Drive - don't ask) I had Windows XP Tablet
SP1 installed. I have subsequntly installed SP2 but I am not now offered WPA
PSK as an authentication option for my home wireless router.

Note that I used to have this option before the rebuild and it worked fine.
I have checked Windows Update and it tells me that there are no furtther
updates avaiable for my machine.

After you reinstalled the operating system, did you also install drivers
for your hardware? Go to Toshiba's tech support site (or whoever made
the laptop if not Toshiba) and get the drivers for all your hardware,
particularly the wireless adapter. Perhaps you don't have the latest
drivers for it.
