Alan2273 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 The wife was on her computer (XP Home) and the shield for automatic updates came up so she let them install automatically, after the reboot the broadband would not connect.I checked ipconfig and everything seemed OK, so I did a system restore to the day before and everything was back to normal.Then the little shield appeared again with 3 updates (KB951748, KB951978 & KB890830), so I had a look to see what they were and installed them again and after reboot they broadband had gone walkabouts again.After another system restore it is back to normal.Has anyone else had any problems with any of these updates.If it was not for her games she would be on Linux as well.

Dencandy Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Try switching over to manual updates. Since I switched (for different reasons) I never have any problems with Windows updates - and didn't have any this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Changing the Internet Zone firewall slider to "Medium" instead of "High" as a temporary circumvention should restore network access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 After the updates, I had to "allow" Comodo (Firewall) permissions for a number of my applications, including Internet Explorer and Outlook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 After reading this thread I updated my computer. There were NO problems whatsoever. I have checked access for all my security programs, again with no problems. There was a very large update for A Squared, again with no problems. Maybe you lot have upset Uncle Bill. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 andsome Uncle Bill like your best friend B Liar has deserted the sinking ship. :D I checked the firewall (ZA) and it made no difference, so I have just blocked those downloads.This is not the first time Microsoft updates have caused this to happen, yet SP3 did not cause any problems.
