2 days ago I found that the output from my sound card - an Echo Gina 24 - had
become somewhat distorted. I tried changing the settings, but no
improvement. I rebooted, but on closing down saw a message that an update
had been installed which required a reboot to complete.

After re-booting the sound output from my sound card was horribly distorted.
I rebooted again, but no change. I then re-loaded the sound card driver,
still no change.

Is it possible that the latest update patch which is causing problems for
others could be causing this and should I uninstall the patch?

At the same time I found that my computer would no longer connect into my
wireless network and still will not - a related problem?

On the basis that my problems were connected with the automatic update, I did
a system restore to a point prior to the update. Now my computer will boot
but only gets as far as loading some of the drivers, then it stops. I'm left
with a screen with my chosen background but no icons or task bar at the
bottom. Following this, I loaded the Windows installation CD to repair the
operating system, however, this has not solved the problem, I still have a
screen with the background image and no icons or task bar. I am left with no
clioce but to do a fresh install from scratch.

How could Microsoft do this to us?

i am ****ed off at this, i still dont know what happened, but i did get mine
working, my brother in law TOTALLY re did the network, i uninstalled the
updates AND turned automatic updated OFF and they will remain that way,
computers should not cause this much pain.

Goodluck with yours gray!

Have you tried starting in safe mode and disabling the sound card, network card, whatever in device manager?
