Upgrades conflict and antivirus???
I am running a laptop with XP + SP 2 and in trying to download and install
the latest MS XP updates, when they install they cause a problem with the wireless adapter and cause it to be inoperable. I have tried all manner of fixes after installing but the only way I can get the internet connection back is to go back to last save in System Restore. I also have installed Norton Antivirus 2005, could this be the problem. Is a third party antivirus program really required, or necessary while running up to date XP. It is going to be a problem later on when the updates build up and cant be loaded, any Ideas Please. Regards, Rob.

Turn off the antivirus autoscanning while updating.

Upgrades conflict and antivirus???
Have you checked with the wireless card's manufacturer (web site) to see if there's a newer driver ? Many wireless cards need an updated driver after having installed SP2 . . .
