low connectivity message after update (XP HOME)

PLEASE can someone give me some ideas. my laptop has wireless connection to
internet. Over past few days, (after an update) I cannot connect via the
wireless.. I get an error message of "low connectivity..you may have no or
limited access to internet".

I have excellent/full strength signal - but it states "wireless connection
unavaiable".
Sometimes it states that it is connected, but it wont get me onto websites
or download emails.

I have even tried setting up a new wireless connection - but to no avail.

This is obviously a recognised glitch as microsoft have put up a patch for
the exact error message that I get...but no change even after the patch has
been run.

I see that Microsoft can bugger the system up but only allow you 2 online
support sessions...Great!!!

Any ideas for a damsel in distress???
