I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems with the wireless connection on your Vista PC, Mr Finch. As the 1055 is working from another PC we can rule out any fault with the 1055, this leave one of two things that could be the cause of you not being able to access the Internet.
The first thing could be a problem with the wireless side of your router; to have this problem investigated and resolved you would need to speak to the manufacturer of the wireless router itself. The second problem could be problem within the Windows operating system; this problem would need to be checked by the PC manufacturer.

I think it is the second problem, as the wireless works.
vista won't favor you unless you give it 'permissions' the easiest to do this is to log on as the administrator account (this admin account is usually hidden) after you log on to this account you have full control over vista
