Followed the setup instructions (which also involved buying a USB DVD
drive for the Tosh, to read the D-Link manual which is on CD), and
using the built in Tosh and D-Link software, I can see the D-Link
access point from the Tosh, but cannot connect. Keep getting the
error message 'Another Vendor's Application is controlling the
wireless adaptor', but what application?

Anyone successfully connected a Tosh netbook in similar circumstances?

You made the error of installing the software off the cd.

Yes, I did wonder about that. The D-Link thing came with a huge sticker
saying :

STOP! Insert CD First.

Uninstall it and start again without making the error.
(You may need to use system restore to roll it back a bit.)

The netbook is almost brand new, so I suppose I could set it back to
'brand new'.

Windows can find the wireless network without any of the cr@p that
comes on the cds.

You will want to log into the AP and set security once it is working.

BTW are you sure its an access point?
most are routers.

It is described as Wireless G Access Point, model DAP-1160, suitable for
use as an Access Point, AP Client, Bridge, Bridge with AP, Repeater,
WISP Client Router or WISP Repeater.
