Windows 7: No automatic connection?

This isn't an issue I had with Vista, but it certainly is with Windows 7.

Every time my computer starts, I've got to manually go to my Wireless connection listing and connect it. Not only do I have to do that, I have to enter the security key.

Is there some way I can just make it so this is all done automatically, and it starts (completely) without me having to do anything?

Sounds like a driver problem. What kind of wireless adapter do you have installed. Go to manufacturer's web site and see if you can download a different driver than the one you have.

I don't really think it's a problem with a driver. I've tried updating it automatically and it said it was fine. I mean it works perfectly, except for me having to do the stuff manually.
