Well, that's the correct way. Is the check in the box back if you look
at it five minutes later? Also, confirm that the "Use Windows to
configure my wireless network settings" box at the top of the Wireless
Networks tab remains checked.
Do you perhaps have another utility (from the manufacturer of the
wireless adapter) active? Take a look at the running processes using
Task Manager.
You could try removing the network from the list of Preferred Networks,
but it will come back (at the top of the list) the next time you connect
to it.
