I had to do a system recovery on my computer and when I tried to reinstall ATT Yahoo the computer crashes whenever I plug the 2Wire USB wireless adapter into the USB port. Once I unplug the adapter and reboot the computer everything is fine until I attempt to plug in the wireless adapter. Within 5 seconds a blue error page comes up stating that Windows needed to be shut down. Could it be a bad USB cable? It has worked fine since it was installed 4 years ago.
If you are on windows vista it could be your driver. You can go into safe mode on the computer with F8 while the computer is starting up, then go to the control panel and device manager. Plug the adapter in and remove the driver for it. Download a new driver at http://support.2wire.com/index.php?page=download and install it.

you dont need to install the driver for the 2wire, you just need to configure the computer to look for the 2wire, if unable to locate the 2wire from your computer, there is a problem on your 2wire it self

you cant change the wep key on the upstairs pc unless you change it on the 2wire 1st. the pc wep key has to match whatever the 2wire has it set to. go to the 2wire router settings throught the downstairs pc that is working to be able to see what the wep key is set to, then when you get the key or set a new one enter that key into the upstairs pc.
