I just received a INSPIRON laptop for my birthday and I had internet access but after I downloaded Windows Vista, it stopped working and said that I needed to install wireless netowrking hardware. I dont know what that means. Why can't I just connect to the local wifi servers in my office. Please help

it sounds like you're vista download does not have drivers for your wireless adaptor in your laptop.
you need to find out what nic is installed in the laptop and see if dell do a vista driver for it.

download and install a program called belarc (google search belarc advisor) it's free
run it, it will do a scan of your system and list all your hardware etc.
from this list you can do a search for a vista driver if there is one.
