error in installing drivers for wireless usb adapter

Hi, just got online, bought a wireless adapter and set it up. Worked fine
until i started trying to secure router and then i lost connection. Tried to
reinstall and now i just get error message. Thought i had found answer with a
'hotfix' but this hasn't worked. (I'm thinking my only solution is to buy an
extension cable so the workstation can go back in the corner and not block
everything in the middle of the room!).

P.s The router is producing a wireless signal as i can use my DS with it.
The problem i'm sure lies with Vista.
