Microsoft updagte killed my broadband - HELP!
Two mornings ago I did a Microsoft update which put in 5 updates and 3
failures, and restarted the system. Failures: Update to .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 for the .NET Framework Assistant 1.0 x86 (KB963707) Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Security Update for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2 (KB953297) Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 Security Update for Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP (KB974417) After the restart I couldn't get on my broadband connection (Comcast). Nothing. Neither FixFire nor IE. Not email. Not the Outlook Express. Nothing. I'm on dial-up now. The Link and Cable lights come on. The network window shows it as connected, but I see an occasional flicker on Send and nothing at all on Receive. I turned off the modem, uninstalled the connections, shut down, turned on the modem and rebooted. It still shows a connection, but I get no action and no icon in the system tray, even though I have it set to show. Final piece of good news? I ran a restore. It prepared to restore. It restored files and settings. When it started up again I got Restore again, telling me nothing had changed - and, indeed, I still can't get on Comcast, even after trying other Restore operations. Please send miracles at once! Thanks -- JimL The purpose of complicated software is to provide excitement for geeks with not enough to do; busy people can go suck eggs. Winstun Churchhill |
