If I'm right and fujitsu are using there own connection methods, try turning of the auto search for wireless networks and selecting your prefered network, this should solve the problem.

My opinion of those people who say UAC/File Premissions is a waste of time or turn it off, is that they haven't the patience or just can't be ars**d to do the research or spend money and buy books on the subject. MS would be forgiven of all sins if they acutally bundled a propper manual with Vista (hell all there OS's, but then thats how they make money, making you buy additional books that only give you half of what you need to know).

With regards to the skype issue, I do know that they added a new feature that was many aimed at domains (something about syncing time and time zones). You could only change the Time Zone but not the actual time and date (some sort of security issue I believe).

I am one of those people who think that UAC is a good thing and one of M$ better ideas. I took to Vista almost straight away ( I think it must have reminder me of Mac OS X (wonder if apple will sue m$ or will it be the other way round? ).

You can run most pre-Vista software as long as it doesn't use/install any pre-Vista codecs (Explore spits the dummy out and gives you Rundll32 errors when it try's to create thumbnail images of media files. You wil also get a solutions box with something like Intel ViiV Update caused a crash (if you get this on a machine that doesn't use Intel chipsets then it is a doddgy codec))
