Ok. Feeling very stupid, but what does this error message mean? I'm afraid it means something very bad...
"Another wireless network utilty is communicating with the Intel PRO/Wireless adapter?"
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Really small thing that irritates me: I am on a windows XP machine at work. Somehow the default for looking at folders in My Computer is tiles. I like lists. Is there a way to change the default?

Look under the View menu, flea. There should be an option for both List and Details.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
vw, what OS are you using?
Taking the message to be correct, it doesn't necessarily sound terrible. Sounds like two different programs are trying to use the wireless adapter at the same time. Which is odd, as normally the OS would have direct control over the adapter and all programs that need internet access would go though the OS. So possibly some network utility you don't know about is trying to get direct access to the wireless?
Anyway, that's the theory....

I have Windows XP Professional.
Ok. Maybe I just need to reboot. I was afraid someone was trying to access my computer.

Do I have to change the View setting for every single folder I go into, though? There's not a way to do it globally?

Go to Tools --> Folder Options. Click the View tab. Click the Apply to All Folders button. (make sure your current folder looks like you want, obviously.)

Rebooting fixed it! Thanks.

Trust my rage
Airport question: I have an Airport Extreme that suddenly has started, instead of sharing the IP address across all computers (i.e. 10.0.x.x) is giving one computer the main IP address (70.45.x.x) and therefore not allowing any of the others to connect. I've tried all the obvious stuff (unplugging and waiting, hard reset, unplugging all other routers in the area, and so on)
