Can anyone help me with my wrt54gs wireless router?

We have the wrt54gs V7 wireless router hooked up to an older HP desktop computer (running on WindowsXP) and have had a work laptop hooked up to the wireless router for 2 years w/o any problems.  We just bought a new laptop running on Windows 7 and although we can see our wireless as an option, have keyed in the Secure Key #, we still cannot connect.  I tried running the Linksys set up cd that came w/ the router to set up the wireless connection on the new laptop and it says the disk is not able to run on the operating system.  I went thru the process to add a new wireless computer from the desktop/using a USB drive to load the wireless app but when I plug in the USB to the new laptop it stops the set up and says the wireless radio is off on the laptop even though the wireless is on.   I am at a loss on how to connect!!    1) how do I get the new laptop to connect to our current wireless router if the set up disk and the USB drive methods do not work?  2) if we eventually get rid of the desktop computer what do I need to do to ensure our wireless connection stays on?
I am ready to throw the new laptop out the window so any help is MUCH appreciated!!

You don't need the setup disk for anything.  Connect with a wired computer to 192.168.1.1username blank, password 'admin' (or wahtever you changed it too).  Now look up your security and enter it into your new laptop.
