D-Link - Networking - D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Installed a Microsot update for the D-Link - Networking - D-Link DGE-530T
Gigabit Ethernet Adapter today. Afterward, I lost all connection to the
Adaptor. I eventually uninstalled the D-Link Driver, rebooted and then
Windows 'Acquired Network Address'. So then I was connected.

On next reboot, the same problem. No connection, can't repair the
connection, can't locate an IP Address (even tried dos
ipconfig/release...ipconfig/renew to no avail.).

What the heck did the update do to my D-Link Hardware? It's a real nuissance
having to disable my adapter and reboot just to use the internet.

System:
Windows XP professional sp2
Dell Dimension 8100
D-Link - Networking - D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
Bios Version A02

As has been pointed out by several people in this newsgroup (myself
included), it is not recommended to install hardware updates from Microsoft
for anything other than Microsoft components - all other hardware updates are
best obtained directly from the manufacturer, in this case D-Link
(www.d-link.co.uk).
I suggest that you try a system restore to see if that restores
functionality. Also, you might need to remove the adapter, reboot, shutdown,
reinstall the adapter, reboot and let the system find the correct driver - if
you have a disk supplied with the adapter then use that instead. Note that
you may need to use a different slot (if available) to force the system to
re-detect the card. You might also like to check your Bios settings to see if
they have been changed.

Is there a way to remove the Microsoft update? I have been using this network
adaptor for at least three years with any problems. All of a sudden, I
download one update and the whole thing is screwed up.

I'll try the recommendations.

Hi there,

That is why: if it ain't broke: do NOT try to "fix" it.

In other words: if the hardware does what it is supposed to do: work well,
leave it be working well

Best regards,

Hi Michel,

Many of us have learned -- some of us, the hard way :> -- that philosophy
about not fixing what isn't broken.

I wonder why Microsoft seems not to have learned it?

Hello Alan,

Why do you think there are such things as system restore and backup
utillities?

Not because microsoft software is perfect I guess?
