If you could explain what issues you're having I might help? I'm not nearly an expert at computers, but I am an expert at rebooting things to fix them, so maybe I can? Granted I don't know anything about vista...

My understanding is that you just got a new computer with a new wireless card, and that you're not getting reception. If they came separately, did you make sure to follow instruction with installing the drivers and any other necessary software to use the card? Can you connect to your router's ip from your new machine?
