Reading around, I think I can fix the brightness in the BIOS, ut I can't figure out how to get there, especially since my f2 key also seems not to be working. Anthing that you can suggest?
Can you try a different keyboard?

Because books.
Just got a new laptop, with Windows 7. It's showing that it's connected to our wifi network, but Internet Explorer can't open any web pages. Help?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Does it (or another computer) work if you connect via an ethernet cable?
Can you ping sites? (Open a DOS window and type 'ping yahoo.com' without the quotes and hit return. If that doesn't work, try 'ping 69.147.114.224', which is an IP address for Yahoo.)

Um, how do you open a DOS window?

One way: Click 'Start', then 'Run' and type 'cmd' and hit enter. (I have not used Windows 7, so I'm not 100% sure this works.)
Also, can other computers connect via your WiFi? (It may be misconfigured.)

Yeah, I'm on the old laptop via the wifi.
Lemme try the DOS thing.

Also, when you have a DOS window, type 'ipconfig' without quotes, hit Enter and see what happens.

Anyway, the steps I've posted should narrow the problem down. Hopefully, someone with actual Windows 7 experience can then help out....

tommy, it said "ping request could not find host" when I tried to find yahoo. But now I know how to open a DOS window! Um.
