Select WPA-PSK (pre-shared key) and "open authentication". Just WPA
or WPA-RADIUS requires a RADIUS server, which you don't have.

What are you using for an access point? Does it support WPA-PSK?

What operating system are you using? If Windoze XP, did you install
SP2?

How do you know that WPA-PSK isn't working? What works and what
doesn't? Where are you stuck?

>I read the install and user manuals

There's your problem. I never read the instructions. If the product
were any good, it wouldn't need instructions.

>I pretty sure I've got the latest driver

....and the version number of the latest driver is? You would not
believe how many times I've run into claims of having the "latest"
driver, and it was something else. Never mind what you've downloaded.
See what the driver claims is installed.

The troubleshooting page isn't very helpful:
