How to fix :Microsoft Vista connects to wireless network then says unidentified network

Have you ever got the problem with Vista when a few days ago you managed to connect to a wireless network(or Wi-Fi) properly but recently if you try to connect again it says to you "Connected to Unidentified Network(wireless name)" ?
I got this problem a few days ago and tried a google search for a solution... but nothing came up. Then I did the following steps out of frustration, and everything worked out perfectly and I'm back to wireless internet again:
STEP 1: Well, I think since you are gonna restart the computer, close and save all work.
STEP 2: Open the Network Connections (I usually open this page by first accessing Network and Sharing Center, then clicking of the link Manage Network Connections).
STEP 3: Rights click on the "Wireless Network Connection" icon and select "Properties".
STEP 4: Click on the button "Configure".
STEP 5: Click on the tab "Driver" and click on "Uninstall".
STEP 6: This is an important step. MAKE SURE THE CHECKBOX "Delete to driver software for this device" IS UNCHECKED!
STEP 7: Press on "OKay" and follow any further instructions. When prompt to restart the computer, just do so and when your computer starts back up, voila, you should now have working wireless internet again.

Cheerio!

Spider Riders

This is quite a nice anime, a little cheezy if you don't have the patience, but nice. Its also one of the very, very few anime that I've watched that includes transformation scenes for girls that aren't... arousing.
Cheerio!

Well, due to recent chinese spam attacks, I've made it such that if you want to comment on my blog you have to be a follower, but I just realized that I don't know what a follower is so I'll just set up comment moderation i.e. comments go through me first before getting displayed.

Cooking

Well, while I'm back home chilling, I decided to get around to collecting some recipes to try out when I get back to the UK. I'm too lazy to cook here since the condition of the kitchen in my house if far from perfect.
Recipe: Nasi Lemak

Ingredients:

Coconut Milk Steamed Rice

2 cups of rice
3 screwpine leaves (tie them into a knot as shown above)
Salt to taste
1 small can of coconut milk (5.6 oz size)
Some water

Tamarind Juice

1 cup of water
Tamarind pulp (size of a small ping pong ball)

Sambal Ikan Bilis (Dried anchovies sambal)

1/2 red onion
1 cup ikan bilis (dried anchovies)
1 clove garlic
4 shallots
10 dried chillies
1 teaspoon of belacan (prawn paste)
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of sugar

Other ingredients

2 hard boiled eggs (cut into half)
3 small fish (sardines or smelt fish)
1 small cucumber (cut into slices and then quartered)

Method:

  1. Just like making steamed rice, rinse your rice and drain. Add the coconut milk, a pinch of salt, and some water. Add the pandan leaves into the rice and cook your rice.
  2. Rinse the dried anchovies and drain the water. Fry the anchovies until they turn light brown and put aside.
  3. Pound the prawn paste together with shallots, garlic, and deseeded dried chilies with a mortar and pestle. You can also grind them with a food processor.

  5. Soak the tamarind pulp in water for 15 minutes. Squeeze the tamarind constantly to extract the flavor into the water. Drain the pulp and save the tamarind juice.
  6. Heat some oil in a pan and fry the spice paste until fragrant.
  7. Add in the onion rings.
  8. Add in the ikan bilis and stir well.
  9. Add tamarind juice, salt, and sugar.

A revolution

Okay, I've pretty much improved my standard of living back home by tons. For one, I've finally persuaded my parents to give permission to get internet connection to my house. Then now I'm setting up the computer lab for my siblings. But I'm kinda worried now cause I'm not doing as much revision as I hoped I will... I hope I pass this re-sit.
