Use WEP device on WPA-PSK

Hi everyone, I have 2 desktop XP computers that are connected to my router
and use WPA-PSK encryption. I also have 2 laptop computers that I just
acquired and need to connect them to the same router but they only have
wireless USB devices that support WEP... Can I get around this atall and
still connect them to the router or will I have to change the encryption to
WEP from WPA-PSK?.. or buy new USB sticks that support WPA-PSK? I was hoping
that i could connect them but they will not be using WPA-PSK ?? I dont know!!
Can anyone help? sorry if this sounds complicated. Thanks, Matt320

Nope, you can't. And be aware that WEP these days is easily broken
and not safe.
