i new that all along, i just didnt want to spoil it for anyone :roll:
Sure sure ;)
Just after I posted the answer I realised I had a PM from tabath from a few hours before hand.
He's the only person to get it! So well done to tabath. A big round of applause, and... stuff? :roll:
You win a piece of GNU licensed software of your choice
Seriously... If I come up with another puzzle, I'll think of a little prize of some sort :)

Alright. I'll let you all know. It was pretty mean afterall, I guess :)
SPOILERS:
"Trust your technolust"... I thought someone would have got it just from counting chars, which is why I put it all on one line to start with.
I'm pretty sure it's not something you will have not come accross before. It's morse code of a 2 char shift. The sneaky bit being that the dots are represented by lower case letters and the dashes are represented by upper case letters. The idea being that everyone gets completely thrown of the scent by focusing too much on the letters themselves. I actually thought melodic had it when he asked about the capital letters.
So to round up...
trust -> two char shift = rpsqr
rpsqr -> morse code = .-. .--. ... --.- .-.
.-. .--. ... --.- .-. -> caps / lowercase = vGy eWWa wux WLaR xAq
Sorry if it was a little hard, guys :)

Still no correct answers :P
Remember... Send them on the back of a postcard, as we do not open envelopes.
I think another clue is in order! So here you go... It's three words:

Maybe I made it a little too hard? :?

Ah, to hell with it...
I'm not sure it needs any photoshopping :roll:

summit to do with all the capitol letters?
Yup :)
That's the last clue though. PM me the answer when you get it so it doesn't ruin it for everyone else ;)

your xp cd key?
Not quite THAT easy

Nothing too taxing for the likes of you lot, I should think :)
What does this say?

PM me the answer and I shall announce who got it first :)

Glad to hear you got things sorted :)
Knoppix can be a saviour

The usual stuff is all I can suggest, I'm afraid...
Check the laptop with a wireless pcmcia card if you can, make sure it's not the windows wireless system screwing up.
Make sure your machine is service packed. Always helps.
Try a different router if you can (One that you can control... So not your neighbour's )
Try a windows system restore (the one that puts it back to a certain date). It may sound like a noob-ish solution, but it's got me out of a lot of problems.
Try the laptop with a knoppix bootdisk or something simaler to REALLY check it's not a windows problem.
Check your BIOS settings to make sure nothing has become disabled that shouldn't be (I'm not familiar with the BIOS setup of your laptop, so I'm not sure if there is an 'enable wireless' option somewhere)
If none of the above help... You might have to send your laptop back to dell. You could open it up and play about with it if you REALLY want, but it's not something I'd suggest on a 3 month old laptop.
Good luck :)
